never be a m also in the programme... britain's former immigration minister robertjenrick redoubles his attack on the government's rwanda plan, saying it's unworkable. in argentina right—wing libertarian economistjavier milei sworn in as president. ajudge has ordered the bbc to release emails relating to the scandal over martin bashir�*s 1995 interview with princess diana on panorama. hello, a warm welcome to bbc news. israel has ordered residents to leave the centre of gaza's main southern city, khan younis, as fighting there intensifies. there's been heavy bombardment of the territory overnight. the head of the israeli army has called 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 house—to—house fighting in the city. the head of the world health organization has said the war in gaza is having a catastrophic impact on health care there. tedros adhanom ghebreyesus warned health workers are having to work in unimaginable conditions in a desperate effort to help civilians. our middle east correspondent, yolande knell, has the latest. an agonising goodbye. at least 14 people were killed in an israeli strike on a school where they'd been seeking safety in khan younis in southern gaza. theirfamilies say. crushed by the rubble. mohamed el rani lost his mum, dad and an unborn brother. what we want is to stop the bloodshed. every day we're losing our loved ones, says this bereaved man. those who lived.

and even those still in the womb. nearby, the rumble of tank fire amid fierce street fighting continues. further south, the town of rafah is now a sprawling campsite for displaced palestinians. but even here by the egyptian border, aid distribution is difficult. un officials are now warning of mass starvation. and despite a us veto for a resolution on friday, they're demanding action by the security council. i reiterated my appeal for a humanitarian ceasefire to be declared. regrettably, the security council failed to do it. but that does not make it less necessary. the head of israel's 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.

you cannot, on the one hand support the elimination of hamas and on the other hand pressure us to end the war which would prevent the elimination of hamas. with predictions that fighting could go on for weeks more, back in gaza, the suffering continues on an unprecedented scale. yolande knell, bbc news, jerusalem. i spoke to our correspondent anna fosterforfurther updates from jerusalem. well, i was speaking a little earlier, maryam, to mark regev, who is the spokesperson. he's a senior adviser actually to the israeli prime minister, benjamin netanyahu. on some of those points that people have been raising about the humanitarian situation and particularly about this ongoing fighting, as well as the large numbers of civilians who are still being killed. now, he maintained the same point several times. he said that when the fighting is over, he said it would become apparent that israel had done everything possible to try and protect civilian lives.

i mean, that is an interesting point, it's worth saying. and, you know, we've seen a lot, haven't we, the work that our courageous local colleagues have been doing in gaza. but internationaljournalists are unable to get in there at the moment to actually see for themselves what is happening and to support those local colleagues. so that is why so much of what we see is based on the testimony of one side or another. and while mark regev said that, he said time will pass and that it will be apparent that israel did what it could to protect civilians. of course, the hamas—run health ministry says that more than 17,000 people, civilians have now been killed in gaza and the world health organization as well. they've been holding a special session today in geneva about the health situation in the occupied palestinian territories. and they were giving some really granular detail about some of the hardships that people are facing in gaza at the moment, notjust to do with a crumbling health system there, but also the lack of of basic things, of food and of fuel

and of sanitation kits, you know, the very, very simple things that people need to stay alive and to stay healthy. now, they are putting out that message to the world that only a cease fire will help preserve the health and the well—being of people in gaza. but of course, it's well over a week now since that last ceasefire ended. and it seems like there is very little prospect, at least in the short term, of another one being brought in to replace it. and of course, as this continues, we hear more and more about the dire situation people in gaza find themselves in. that's right. and again, we talk about the humanitarian situation. we see those people, more than a million people who were displaced from the north of the strip to the south. and you have now people who are are being told which areas are safe, which areas might take them away from the continuing israeli bombardment. but those areas are becoming smaller and smaller, and the number of people that need them is becoming larger

as more and more are having to to leave their homes. the weather is starting to turn now. at this time of the year, it's getting colder. you still have people who fled their homes without their possessions, without simple things like warm clothes and blankets. there isn't enough food for everybody. there isn't enough clean water. and while this continues and while the amount of humanitarian aid that goes in remains less than it needs to be on a normal day before the war, it was around about 500 trucks of humanitarian aid a day that would pass through the rafah crossing from egypt into gaza. at the moment, on a good day, it's something like 100, so it's really nowhere near the need of all of those people, so many more who are now displaced from their homes as this war has gone on. and again, no real sign that any kind of concrete plan is being put in place to try and alleviate that huge need.

you can go to the bbc website, there is a live page updated every minute. javier milei has been sworn in as argentina's new president. here he is a short while ago in buenos aires. mr milei, who won a run—off poll last month, gained popular support for radical proposals including scrapping the central bank and allowing people to make money by selling their organs. argentina is experiencing its worst economic crisis in decades. live now to washington dc, to speak to benjamin gedan — you can see they are making their way through the city, to congress, where he will be meeting and addressing supporters. he is responding victory in front of the many supporters who lined the streets as the new president moves from the inauguration to congress.

diagnose the movement in argentina chronically overspends, over borrowers and when it can't borrow, it prints money and argentina has the sky high inflation rates. that is not sustainable. is it sustainable to take a chainsaw to the argentine budget, which is what javier milei has promised to do? i am not certain he can manage it, the protest, the union strikes, the uproar in congress where he will have little representation. i think what ou have little representation. i think what you are _ have little representation. i think what you are trying _ have little representation. i think what you are trying to _ have little representation. i think what you are trying to say - have little representation. i think what you are trying to say is - have little representation. i think what you are trying to say is the l what you are trying to say is the honeymoon period won't last very long. thank you very much, benjamin. these are the live pictures from buenos aires. it is always nice to give you the live pictures. is that a dog? i think he's a big fan of dogs, of canines. that might be his.

nice and clean there. the conservative peer michelle mone has said she "regrets" not being more transparent publicly about her involvement with a company — ppe medpro —that was awarded uk government contracts during the pandemic. baroness mone's has broken her silence in a youtube documentary funded by ppe medpro. live now to david wallace lockheart in glasgow. tell us more. in 2021, the uk government said michelle mone had been a source of referral for this company, he wanted to supply personal protective equipment at the beginning of the covid pandemic. the company ended up on a vip lane, which was a system for procurement of prioritising companies recommended by politicians of any party. michelle poem, her husband was the chairman of the consortium

supplying the uk government —— michelle mone. the company is being sued for breach of contact and is a subject of the national crime agency. supporters say the supply did meet the specifications of the contract, and michelle mona and her husband deny wrongdoing. she had said she had no function within the company she has taken part in a youtube documentary, and is the first time she's in a set time interview and she reflects on the fact she told the press she had no links to the company and say she thinks with hindsight it was a mistake. i made an error in what i said to the press. i regret not saying to the press straightaway, "yes, lam involved."

yeah. and the government knew i was involved and the emergency team, cabinet team, knew i was involved. the government, dhsc knew that i was involved. the nhs, all of them, knew i was involved. her husband also takes part in this documentary and he says he believes the gallons the company protected was fully compliant with contract specifications. he talks about talking with a department of health and social care negotiator about the idea of settling the civil legal case, and he believes it was implied in his settlement was generous enough, the department for help were willing to make the national crime agency investigation go away. a department of health and social care spokesperson told the bbc they wouldn't comment on ongoing legal cases but stressed their staff

adhere to all laws and regulations, and the national crime agency has said they are operationally independent and their investigations or intelligence led. we've heard this morning from a uk government cabinet minister, michael gove, he was in the cabinet in the pandemic and he stressed there was a rigorous process to check every company that wanted to supply ppe during the pandemic. wanted to supply ppe during the andemic. ., ~ wanted to supply ppe during the andemic. ., ,, , ., 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 overcome a previous ruling by the supreme court, which blocked deportations. 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. 0ur 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 he used to share the cabinet table with. in his first interview since resigning, robertjenrick explained why he believes legislation designed to resurrect the rwanda plan 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 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. the hollywood sign is 100 years old and to mark the anniversary a spectacular lighting ceremony was set up by the hollywood sign trust. millions of people visit this tourist attraction every year — in search of a photo or selfie of those huge, world famous white letters. to celebrate — the hollywood sign trust lit up the letters — with the original 4,000 vintage bulbs that illuminated the real estate sign — hollywoodland — back in 1923. they also bought 400 gallons of white paint to give the letters a makeover. here in the uk, members of the royal family have unveiled their official christmas cards. the prince and princess of wales have opted for a black and white family portrait showing william, catherine and the three children looking relaxed in jeans and white shirts.

that's in contrast to king charles and queen camilla, who have gone for a more formal look in their card — which shows them in full regalia in the buckingham palace throne room on coronation day — may 6th. what a wonderful day that was. that is that, back at the top of the hour. goodbye. hello. we had wind and rain yesterday, last night, some wet weather around today as well. how about the outlook for the week ahead? further spells of wind and rain in the forecast, but there is an indication that towards the end of the week, high pressure should build from the south and the weather will settle down. it will turn drier and brighter. here is the satellite picture. 0ne low pressure clears away, here's the next one. this is actually storm fergus, named by the irish met service, met eireann. it's affecting ireland today with severe gales there in the west.

we'll also have some strong winds out towards the west later today. here are the temperatures at the end of the afternoon. around 10 degrees in the south, 5 degrees expected in glasgow and edinburgh. here's the low, with wind and rain moving through parts of north—western england, into wales, ending up around lincolnshire and east anglia. towards the end of the night, the winds fall light again. temperatures between around 2 degrees in the lowlands and about 9 degrees in the south, so a relatively mild night on the way. on monday, we are in between weather systems, so totally sandwiched between one low here and another one approaching off the atlantic and some weather fronts further south, too. i think a greater chance of some dry and bright if not sunny weather, at least for a time tomorrow, although not everywhere, because we have an easterly wind here, around aberdeenshire, fife, into the borders, so often cloudy and some spots of rain. but the next weather front is approaching — the next area of low pressure. and that will be sweeping over us during the course of tuesday,

so frequent showers, quite windy as well off the welsh coasts, the south west of england, central and southern england, and particularly wet in eastern scotland. that wind off the north sea constantly pushing in the rain clouds, so it could be really wet here and further north across scotland. and then wednesday, that low pressure pulls away, we will still be brushed by weather systems to the north, but watch this high. it's starting to build in from the azores, spreading across the country from friday onwards, into the weekend, so it looks as though things are going to be settling down, and this is reflected in our outlook for midweek onwards and into the weekend. from about friday, much drier and brighter weather. and certainly saturday and sunday, some sunshine around. bye— bye.

this is bbc news. the latest headlines... israel has ordered civilians in the centre of the main city in southern gaza to leave as fighting intensifies in the area. an adviser to the israeli prime minister said he didn't want to see people caught up in the crossfire. the world health organization says the war in gaza is having a catastrophic impact on health care there. he warned that health workers are having to work in unimaginable conditions in a desperate effort to help civilians.
