i'm devina gupta in london. also in the programme... britain's former immigration minister, robertjenrick, redoubles his attack on the government's rwanda plan, saying it's unworkable. i'm afraid it's very clear to all those people who really understand how the system operates that this will not succeed. iam anna i am anna foster live injerusalem. israel has ordered residents to leave the centre of khan younis as the fighting intensifies. there's been another heavy bombardment overnight. the head of the israeli army is calling for the military

campaign in gaza to be stepped up. israeli tanks are reported to be slowly advancing towards the centre of khan younis and there are reports of khan younis and there are reports of house—to—house fighting. the head of house—to—house fighting. the head of the world health organization says the war in gaza is having a catastrophic impact on healthcare. he has warned health workers are working in unimaginable conditions in a desperate effort to help civilians. more on that in a moment. but first, this report is from our middle east correspondent, yolande knell. an agonising goodbye. at least 14 people were killed in an airstrike on a school where they were sheltering. crushed by the rubble, mohammed lost his mother, father and an unborn brother. what we want is

to stop the bloodshed, every day we are losing our loved ones says this man. those who lived and even those who are still in the womb. nearby the rumble of tank fire amid fierce street fighting. further south, the town of rafa is a sprawling campsite for displaced palestinians but even here, by the egyptian border, a distribution is difficult. un officials are warning of mass starvation and despite a us veto for a resolution on friday, they are demanding action by the security council. i demanding action by the security council. . , ., , , ., demanding action by the security council. . , ., ,, ., ., demanding action by the security council. . , ., , , ., ., ., council. i reiterate my appeal for a humanitarian _ council. i reiterate my appeal for a humanitarian ceasefire _ council. i reiterate my appeal for a humanitarian ceasefire to - council. i reiterate my appeal for a humanitarian ceasefire to be - humanitarian ceasefire to be declared. regrettably, the security councilfailing declared. regrettably, the security council failing to do it but that does not make it less necessary. the head of the — does not make it less necessary. the head of the israeli army is calling for the offensive in gaza to be stepped up. amid signs he says that

hamas is falling apart and the prime minister has this answer for countries pressing for a truce. translation: you cannot on the one hand support the elimination of hamas and pressure the elimination of hamas. predictions are finding could go on for weeks more and back on gas at the suffering continues on an unprecedented scale. earlier, i spoke to mark regev, senior adviser to the israeli prime minister. i asked him to respond to claims from some quarters that israel is not doing enough to reduce the death toll among gazan civilians as well as accusations of genocide and war crimes in gaza. i think the body of evidence will support that israel has made a maximum effort to try to safeguard civilian life and as we pursue hamas, which as you said, is a brutal and horrific enemy capable of the most atrocious violence, as we pursue that enemy,

we are making maximum effort to safeguard civilian life. and i am sure when this conflict is over, and the dust has settled and the numbers are actually known, you will see that the effort that the idf has made to safeguard civilian life will be apparent to all when you compare the number of civilians killed with those in comparable operations, let's say in the operation against isis in syria and iraq, in places like mosul and fallujah where there was a comparable situation, a terrorist group in an urban area with civilians and forces coming into defeat the terrorists. we know what the civilian to combat death ratio was there and i believe we will be far superior at the end of this conflict in gaza when the final and accurate numbers come out. but how much longer will this conflict go on for? because no military anywhere in the world enters a conflict with an open ended timescale

and in fact the idf chief of staff was speaking at a hanukkah candle lighting last night and he said there were signs of the hamas system disintegrating inside gaza, so let's put a timescale on it. because civilians are dying. how much longer will this go on for? this could end tomorrow if we saw more and more hamas people surrendering and giving up their arms. this could end tomorrow if hamas released the hostages and unconditionally surrendered. this is a war israel did not start or want, but it's a war israel has to win and we will win it decisively. if hamas wants to speed up the end of this they can do so. we've already seen and you have seen the pictures of them beginning to surrender. if they speed up the process, this can be over quicker. unfortunately the hamas leadership seems to be totally unconcerned about the civilians of gaza, that they have brought this

suffering upon them, and i am convinced when this is over, you will see an outpouring of pent—up anger by the people of gaza against hamas that have brought this disaster upon them. i wanted to ask you about the humanitarian situation in gaza because the head of the un, antonio guterres has said the whole humanitarian aid system could break down in the strip. israel plays a key part in allowing humanitarian aid inside gaza, so what are your plans to try and increase that so civilians do not continue to suffer while this military operation goes on? we are working closely with the relevant organisations to try to expedite humanitarian support for the people of gaza. as you know, at the first week of this war, the israeli cabinet took a decision there would be no limitations whatsoever on water and food and medicines going into the gaza strip, and we have a situation today where trucks that have passed

the israeli security inspection — and people understand that we have to have those inspections because we do not want to see hamas bringing into gaza weapons and other material for their war machine — but trucks that we have authorised to enter gaza, and who have passed the israeli security inspection, are still being held up in the south at the crossing, and one can only speculate as to why. is it possible that hamas understands the only way for them to survive is to have international pressure on israel, and the way to get that is to augment a humanitarian crisis? one has to be very, very sceptical here. why are trucks that israel has inspected, why are they still being held up? part of the problem, isn't it, mr regev, you talk about the fact civilians suffer as a result of hamas, and they do, but civilians do not have the power to control what hamas is doing.

they are onlookers to all of this. many of them did not vote for hamas, are too young to have voted for hamas so if you want to make a real difference you need to consider the civilians in a way that maybe hamas doesn't. i've been arguing all along and throughout this interview that the steps we have taken to safeguard civilians are almost unprecedented. the fact we send warnings and ask people to leave neighbourhoods we know there will be fighting, we are giving information to the enemy in advance but we're doing so because we are wanting to safeguard civilians. i know the people of gaza are going through a difficult time, war is never easy and has never been without innocent people getting hurt, that is the sad reality. but having been forced to fight this war, israel is making maximum effort to safeguard gaza civilians, and when this is over and hamas has

been defeated, ultimately, the people of gaza will themselves be better off because they will get a government and regime that will worry about and care about their own well—being much more than this group of hamas terrorists who have orchestrated this disaster. that was a senior adviser to the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu. let me show you these live pictures of gaza are seen from southern israel, a view that so often shows you the ongoing military action happening there, the plumes of smoke on the horizon. you can see some of that there are, the grey and white smoke lifting into the sky from some of the shattered buildings. this is the northern part of the gaza strip and we have been talking about military action happening now, the fighting

happening now, the fighting happening intensively around khan younis and let me show you live pictures of khan younis. the second city, in gaza, the medical centre here, a very busy place and we regularly see people who have been injured in airstrikes and artillery fire, they have been brought here and people sheltering in the area and people sheltering in the area and it's a hospital that we hear it like others is struggling with the basics, they do not have the equipment they need, they often do not have the power they need to keep lifesaving machinery going and that is one of the topics being discussed in switzerland today. in switzerland the world health organization held a special session on the health situation in the occupied palestinian territories. here's the director general tedros adhanom ghebreyesus. since the 7th of october, who has verified more than 419 attacks on health care in gaza and the west bank, and 60 attacks on health care in israel.

health care should never be a target. i also grieve the loss of more than 100 of our un colleagues in gaza, including our own dima alhaj, who was killed alongside her six—month—old son, her husband and her two brothers. in summary, health needs have increased dramatically and the capacity of the health system has been reduced to one third of what it was. the deputy head of the un world food programme, carl skau, has warned 90% of people in some parts of gaza can't eat every day because of the shortage of food. he said only a fraction of the humanitarian aid needed has been able to enter the strip. i've been speaking to nebal farsakh, spokesperson for the palestinian red crescent,

who explained what the situation is like on the ground. the health situation is catastrophic. over 63% of hospitals are shut down due to bombing and running out of fuel and medical supplies. the aid that is getting into gaza isn't even 10% of the needs. hospitals are still lacking fuel as well as medical supplies and medicines. all the hospitals that are still operating have gone beyond their capacity and they are overwhelmed with injuries and wounded, while you can see injured and wounded people are being treated at the hospital's corridor, on the ground, because there is no left space. if you allow me to just remember that today marks the 75th anniversary of the universal declaration of human rights, these rights that should be granted to all people

in the world at all circumstances. unfortunately, in gaza, these rights are just a dream. when we talk about the right to life and security, over 17,000 civilians have been killed and there is no safe place. let's talk about the right of education. all children have been not able to attend school for over two months since it's not safe and even dozens of schools have been destroyed. we talk about the rights to have basic human necessities, including food, clothing, medical care and shelter. unfortunately, in gaza, there is no available food, people have no homes since their homes were destroyed or they have to evacuate them from a place to another. talk about clothing, they have left their homes

without clothing and we can see children having extreme pain and suffering because they have not enough clothing and it's getting winter and so much cold. on top of that, all medical care has been reduced to the bare minimum. the humanitarian situation in gaza is not even imaginable. no—one can imagine the catastrophic situation that is going on right now in gaza. that was a representative of the palestinian red crescent. we will keep you updated throughout the day, you can also follow updates on the bbc news website and the news app with everything put in context for you. from here injerusalem, it is time tojoin my you. from here injerusalem, it is time to join my colleagues in you. from here injerusalem, it is time tojoin my colleagues in london for the rest of the news today.

thank you for all of the updates and we will keep coming back to you during the day. here in the uk, the prime minister rishi sunak is under growing pressure over his plans to send asylum seekers to rwanda. the government has published new legislation which it says will allow it to send asylum seekers to rwanda, despite previous ruling by the supreme court. robertjenrick — who was until last week the immigration minister responsible for the plans — says he won't support the government in a key vote on the issue on tuesday. our political correspondent peter saull has more. why did you resign? this time last week, he was a loyal member of rishi sunak�*s government. but the ex—immigration minister is now on the opposing side of the argument to those who used to share the cabinet table with. in his first interview since resigning, robertjenrick explained why he believes legislation designed to resurrect the rwanda plant will fail. we've already done two bills.

this is the third bill. it's three strikes or you're out. i want this bill to work and create that powerful deterrent. i'm afraid it's very clear to all those people who really understand how this system operates, that this bill will not succeed. and he's certainly not alone in urging the government to go further. in the sunday telegraph, sir bill cash from the european research group of right—leaning conservative mps writes that the bill isn't sufficiently watertight. on another wing of the tory party, though a very different perspective. we insist that one of the basic tenets of conservatism that all conservative governments should stick to is the rule of law and meeting our international obligations. and so what we're spending this weekend reassuring ourselves, if we can, is that the legislation proposed actually stays within the law. caught in the middle, this still serving cabinet minister believes the legislation will work. my confident expectation would be that the overwhelming _

majority of people who we choose to send to rwanda| will be sent to rwanda. but more than that, you don't need to take my word for it. _ you merely need to see what lord i sumption and a variety of other. lawyers from doughty street - chambers, from cambridge university and others have said. remember, this is what the political arguments are all about how to dissuade people from getting in boats in the first place. and there are questions for all parties about their plans to stem the tide. it really does feel like the desperate, dying days of this government and labour understands that this is a serious issue dealing with the dangerous boats. it's serious for our national security. and because of the potential numbers of lives being lost, he's put the promise to stop the boats front and centre. but first he's got to stop the war of words in his own party. now it's time for a look

at today's sport. and gavinjoins us now. to the football first, and manchester city manager pep guardiola says his side are judged by higher standards than any of their premier league rivals. city play luton in just under an hour's time. looking to end a four game winless run. guardiola himself has never gone five matches without victory in his managerial career. luton though are yet to keep a clean sheet in the league so far, but have taken liverpool and arsenal to the wire in recent weeks. i need to step back to realise, "oh, pep. "come on. "wake up." something wrong. make good analysis with your people. what happened 7 why have we not won in four games, when before, playing even worse than now, we were able to win games? come on. so, always myself. all myself, i have to realise. yes, it's a good warning for me. three more premier league games to come in about a0 minutes' time. everton look for successive wins when they welcome chelsea to goodison park, and fulham are hoping for a first win over west ham since 2014. later on, spurs, who've lost three consecutive home

games, host newcastle. they became the first team in premier league history to fail to win five consecutive matches after taking the lead in all of them, but their boss ange postecoglou remains postive for the future. there's been progress made, for sure, in many areas, areas we still need to do a lot of work in. we've obviously had some challenges within that timeframe of injuries which have disrupted our ability to have a consistent lineup out there and we've got to work our way through this difficult period but as i've said, we have the beginnings of what we are trying to build. xabi alonso's bayer leverkusen have the chance to go six points clear at the top of the german bundesliga when they travel to third—placed stuttgart in just over an hour. that's because bayern munich were thrashed by eintracht frankfurt on saturday. 5—1 it finished, as the ii—time defending champions fell

to their first defeat of the season. bayern go to manchester united on tuesday in the champions league as both teams aim to bounce back from shock defeats — united losing to bournemouth 3—0 at old trafford on saturday. england captainjos buttler says it is the start of a long journey after they lost their one day series against the west indies 2—1. falling to a four—wicket defeat in barbados. ben duckett top scored with 71 to help england post 206—9 from a0 overs after a rain delay. and a further downpour left west indies with a revised target of 188 from 3a overs, which they achieved with 14 balls to spare, to give them a first home series win over england in the format since 1998. the two sides will now prepare for the five—match t20 series that begins on tuesday, also in barbados. in australia, the men's big bash league game between melbourne renegades and perth scorchers was abandoned afterjust 41 deliveries because of an unsafe pitch. the players were taken off after the umpires stopped play to inspect the pitch. the decision was greeted

by boos from the fans. anthony davis scored 41 points to help the los angeles lakers to victory against the indiana pacers in the nba's first in—season tournament final davis also registered 20 rebounds, five assists and four blocks, whilst lebronjames added 2a points and 11 rebounds in a 123—109 win. lebron also named the most valuable player of the inaugural nba cup. and finally, the baseball world is still reacting to the news that shohei ohtani hasjoined the los angeles dodgers on a gigantic ten—year, $700 million contract. the japanese star was a free agent after leaving the la angels at the end of last season. ohtani's deal surpasses the previous highest in sport, which was that of kansas city chiefs quarterback patrick mahomes. he agreed a ten—year, $450 million extension in 2020. and that's all the sport for now.

we will have more later. that is the key if you can get it! let's take a look at how technology is blaming the mag changing the world of blind and partially sighted gamers. it's been a huge year for the video gaming industry, but while sales are soaring, not everyone has been able to play. andrew rogers reports. video games have never looked better. with lifelike visuals and stylish cinematics, many are a feast for the eyes. but some players have to rely on other senses. players like ben, also known as sightless kombat. he is testing out a new kind of game codenamed project black kat, based entirely on sound. there are basic visuals there that can be used to play the game with sight, but also, as well, there is menu narration, so it will speak the menus as you go through. automation: audio glossary, j button two of five, a to select. and it will speak the tutorials. there is audio description, as well. a long, cold corridor extends before you. | slightly ahead to the right is a wooden crate. - it is kind of handholding, but it's a way of doing it that

feels relatively dynamic as you play through. he is also an ambassador for the royal national institute of blind people, and live streams his gaming on twitch to thousands around the world. and i wanted to just showcase how things work from my perspective, having absolutely no sight whatsoever. i've had a lot of people come in and just be very friendly, very curious, very interested in watching me and saying, wait, you can't see, and you're better than i am at this. so, that's always a fun compliment to have paid! and, as more of us than ever start picking up a controller, game studios like this when in oxford are finding ways to make sure their games can be played by everyone. one way they are doing this is by hiring specialist accessibility consultants for their games. people like cari, who designed project black kat. i try to help teams make more inclusive and accessible games so that more people canjoin in and play them. it is the bestjob in games. my entire job is helping more people play games. like, that isjust the bestjob.

her game isjust a prototype for now, but she's hoping it can get more studios thinking about accessibility in their games. yeah! we are seeing progress, and progress will snowball and hopefully then those publishers, companies, studios, platforms, will all realise eventually, at least, overtime, that accessibility, if you want to be really shallow about it, increased accessibility equals increased sales. cari says access isn'tjust about reaching more disabled players, but future proofing the games industry. i still want to be playing games when i'm 80, if there is a platform! i still want to play games when i'm older, but my capabilities change as i age, and so does everybody's, and it'sjust a case of wanting to make sure that the games are still supporting people who've been playing games their whole life. everybody should be able to play, you know? whether you've got sight or not, whatever your situation is, you should be able to enjoy the same games as everybody else. until then, ben and cari can still play some of their favourite titles by sharing the controls,

giving them just another reason to game together. and you can read more about this on the bbc news website. we are going to take a short break for now but we willjoin you again. stay with us here on bbc news. we had wind and rain yesterday but how about the outlook for the week ahead? further spells of wind and rain in the forecast but towards the end of the week high pressure should build from the south and the weather will settle. turning drier and brighter. here is the satellite picture, low—pressure clearing and this is storm fergus named by the

pressure is approaching. that will be sweeping over us during the course of tuesday. frequent showers, quite windy, central and southern england, particularly wet here in eastern scotland. the wind from the north sea, constantly pushing in the rain clouds, wet here and further north across scotland. wednesday the low pressure pulls away, brushed back weather systems to the north but watch this high, building in from the azores, spreading across the country from friday onwards so it looks as though things are going to settle down and this is reflected in our outlook for midweek and into the weekend. from friday, much drier and brighter weather, certainly saturday and sunday for some sunshine. goodbye.
