in argentina, the right—wing libertarian economistjavier milei is sworn in as president. hello, i'm lukwesa burak. you're watching bbc news. israel has ordered residents to leave the centre of gaza s main southern city, khan younis, as fighting there intensifies. khan younis, there was heavy bombardment of the territory on saturday night — as the head of the israeli army called for the military campaign in gaza to he stepped up. meanwhile, israeli tanks are reported to be slowly advancing towards the centre of khan younis — with reports of house—to—house fighting in the city. the head of the world health organisation has said the war in gaza is having a "catastrophic" impact on health care there.

tedros ghebreyesus warned health workers are having to work in unimaginable conditions in a desperate effort to help civilians. our correspondent, hugo bachega, has the latest. this is nasser hospital in khan younis, and the aftermath of another night of unrelenting israeli attacks. in the chaos, a father desperately searches for his son. mohamed abu shihab says a sniper opened fire when he was in his house, giving water to his two sons. the oldest was wounded. the youngest killed. "the sniper killed my son, i want to see my son," he says. this footage from the israeli army shows its soldiers in gaza. in the south, israeli tanks are advancing on khan younis.

hamas is fighting back and some of the battles are house—to—house. there is intense fighting also in the north. the humanitarian situation is "catastrophic", in the words of the un. it says half of gaza's population is starving. aid agencies are warning that those who haven't been killed by bombs may not survive hunger and disease. still, very little aid is getting in. with palestinians being killed by the dozens every day, pressure is growing on israel to do more to protect civilians. prime minister netanyahu has rejected proposals for a ceasefire. today he insisted again that the war can't stop now. translation: you can't on the one hand - support the elimination of hamas, and on the other pressure us to end the war, which would prevent the elimination of hamas. israeli officials believe intense operations could

continue until early february. by which time thousands more in gaza could be dead. hugo bachega, bbc news, jerusalem. aleema shivji, chief impact officer at oxfam gb, says the situation in gaza is appalling. what i'm really aware of is that something needs to be done. as we just heard from your correspondent injerusalem, when people are not dying from the bombs, they are dying from starvation, dehydration, waterborne diseases. the situation in gaza is absolutely appalling. what are your staff telling you about the situation in gaza? our staff and our partners are telling us that people are starving, there is not enough aid getting through, and what little is getting through, it is almost impossible

to distribute it safely under the bombs, and withourfuel. one of our partners basically said to us, we are doing everything we can, but we are also running for our lives at the same time. the delivery of humanitarian aid is incredibly difficult under the bombs and the only solution is for a ceasefire. you said people are starving — how long have they got? some people are already affected by this for weeks, we are talking about the use by israel as starvation as a weapon of war, which is against international humanitarian law, we have been saying for weeks food is running out, freshfood ran out a long time ago, canned food is running out, we are seeing people in a desperate situation, lactating mothers who do not have any nutrition and you're worried about babies being born and not enough nutrition for the mothers to give the nutrition that is needed for their babies. we hear a lot about the palestinians

affected by this but as we heard from the head of the who earlier, he said that staff are working in unimaginable conditions. i want to focus on those staff working within the humanitarian sector. how are people coping because, mentally, this must be a huge strain. we have seen workers and volunteers who have lost their lives, as well. absolutely. the strain that we are hearing from our own staff, we have staff inside gaza, and our partners, it is heartbreaking to hear their stories of how difficult it is every day, they go to sleep every day not knowing if they will wake up the next morning, they have to explain to their children, they cannot explain, why they're being targeted. we have one partner that said to us, our children have asked us to pack our clothing in separate bags, just in case their parents don't survive. the trauma is absolutely

unimaginable. and these are people, they have the courage, they want to be able to help gazans, but they cannot do that the bombs, and the only way to enable them to do their calling is with a ceasefire. whilst that is being sorted out, if it is agreed, or if it is not, what is oxfam planning, what are your contingencies going forward? how far ahead do you plan? we plan as far as we can. we have colleagues inside gaza who are distributing small amounts of aid, we have partners distributing small amounts of aid. earlier this week we sent a shipment of water sanitation equipment on a european union flight to the region which we hope will make it across the rafah border, and we hope that, we're working with other un agencies,

to ensure that as much aid as possible get to the border but the reality is that the rafah crossing, the only one open right now is not geared up for such a large—scale humanitarian response, so until the conditions are right, it is difficult, for oxfam or any other agency to adequately respond to the needs of the 2 million people that need humanitarian assistance there. aleema shivji of oxfam. here in the uk, it'sjust two days before parliament votes on rishi sunak�*s revised legislation to send some people seeking asylum to rwanda. but the conservative mp, robertjenrick — in his first broadcast interview since leaving government last week — says the plan won't work. mrjenrick, who resigned as immigration minister over the bill, said it would become "bogged down" by legal challenges if it became law. but the cabinet minister, michael gove, said only a "vanishingly small" number

of appeals would be allowed under the new scheme. here's our political correspondent, helen catt. it's a new experience for me. robertjenrick alongside his former government colleague michael gove. relations appeared cordial enough but when it came to the rwanda bill he said he would not vote for it and gave little cover to his long—time friend rishi sunak. i think that a political choice has been made to bring forward a bill which doesn't do the job. and i think that at this moment when you've got a small boats crisis, where "4,000 people have crossed the channel on dangerous, unnecessary, illegal small boats, we cannot take that risk. mrjenrick�*s latest intervention came in a crucial weekend when his conservative colleagues are considering whether or not to back mr sunak�*s plan. veteran mp sir bill cash has been examining the legislation with other lawyers on behalf of right—wing mps. his verdict in the sunday telegraph, it's not sufficiently watertight. michael gove disagrees.

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. but it's notjust his party's right wing which is taking legal advice. moderate conservatives have concerns too, of a different kind. 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 what we are spending this| weekend reassuring ourselves, if we can, is that - the legislation proposed actually stays within the law. conservative mps agree that small boat crossings should be stopped. they disagree on how far the party should go to do that. labour doesn't believe the rwanda plan will work at all.

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. rishi sunak has staked part of his political reputation on stopping small boat crossings. the coming days will be a crucial test of that. the conservative mp, wendy morton was chief whip under liz truss. she told me the issue is important to her constituents. for me personally, i am continuing to reflect on this because i have some real concerns, because i know that my constituents, i have a seat that really does want to see us take back control of our borders, and so they expect me to represent their views in the house of commons.

do their views agree with that solution being rwanda? i think rwanda is one part of tackling what is a very complex problem, but i have concerns about the legislation because i really want to make sure that if this legislation is coming forward, it is in the right place, but, actually, it is going to deliver that change that i believe i was elected upon delivering which is around taking control of our borders, and taking control of sovereignty and powers as well. i have spent the weekend pondering on this and i am not going to rush into any decision. i am sure that there are other colleagues in exactly the same boat as me. what are the specifics of the concerns? are there other options on the table?

is that what you are alluding to? what is the broader picture? there are two specific concerns i have. one is the reference to rwanda being able to send people back to the uk. i am not entirely happy with that. and i also have some concerns about the amount of money that we have put into this scheme, or legislation, or where we have got to so far, so, i need to feel reassured that this is actually going to work that was conservative mp wendy morton. the new president of argentina, javier milei, has said that shock treatment is needed to deal with the economic crisis in the country. after being sworn in, mr milei, a right—wing outsider, warned that the situation would initially get worse for argentine people, but there was no alternative to austerity and spending

cuts in the short term. inflation in argentina is rapidly heading towards 200%. mr milei has taken over from the unpopular centre—left president alberto fernandez, but will need to negotiate with rivals as his coalition only forms a small bloc in congress. mr milei 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. our bbc mundo reporter, veronica smink, is in buenos aires. i asked her if anything had shifted in mr milei's attitude in the run—up to inauguration. he has self—moderated his views quite a bit after the general election in october, when he actually came

second to the then economy minister by seven points. he then moderated his views, the famous chainsaw that he had used in campaigns until then was put away, and he started talking about forming a coalition, and the need to get different people, no matter what their background is, not even talking about dollarisation, the things people are worried about, he did not talk about any more, and hence, he won in november. he said society functions better without a state. he is now head of state, where does that put him? he believes estate should only deal with things like security, defence, and that the market should run everything else. he concedes that takes time and cannot be done in one blow. he announced today, in his first speech, that he does intend to cut 5%

of gdp of spending but he assured the argentine people that that would fall mostly on the state and not the private sector, and as you said, times would be very difficult in the short term, but then would start improving. talk us through his thoughts on foreign policy. he was very critical during his campaign, with certain countries that he considers communist or socialist including argentina's main commercial partners, china and brazil, and again, the rhetoric used during the campaign and once he became the president elect, that rhetoric was lowered quite a bit, and so, he even got acknowledgements from the presidents of china and brazil on his win, but the relations have soured a little bit, and there is going to be work to be done to improve those relations.

the inauguration was attended by ukraine's president zelensky. he congratulated javier milei and spoke to leaders of other latin american nations, thanking uruguay and paraguay for their support. nations, thanking uruguay and paraguay fortheirsupport. in nations, thanking uruguay and paraguay for their support. in the last hour, us presidentjoe biden has invited president zelensky to washington for a meeting, this coming tuesday, to discuss his urgent financial needs. now it's time for a look at today's sport with karthi. manchester city brought their run of four games without a win to an end after coming from behind to win 2—1 at luton. city were without erling haaland — missing with a foot injury. and the home side took advantage at the end of the first half. elijah adebayo heading home, to put luton on course for what could have been one of the big upsets of the season.

but not to be in the end, as champions city came out and delivered in the second half. bernardo silva and jack grealish with the goals for the win, which ends pep guardiola's streak of four league matches without a win. they're still 4th though, two points behind aston villa. people say that city is over, really? the challenge that we had ahead of us, so we have proven that they are proven wrong by still being there. and the fight, and coming here, and i am very, very proud the way we behave. i thought the performance was excellent, without the ball, really aggressive. tried to knock them out their rhythm and get their game going, i thought we were brave. i thought the goal was an excellent example of that. frustrated, to be honest, especially when you go 1—0 up, but full credit

to manchester city. that is what the top teams do. tottenham ended their run of five games without a win in emphatic style by beating newcastle 4—1. spurs captain son heung min was the standout player at the tottenham hotspur stadium, providing two assists and scoring his tenth league goal of the season from a penalty he won. injury—ravaged newcastle got a late consolation with joelinton's first goal of the season. the win keeps spurs fifth in the table, three points behind manchester city. newcastle remain in seventh. sonny was hugely important early in the game, we spoke about having conviction in the front third, and i thought he did that and that allowed the other boys to feed off it, every time he got the ball run at them. and we showed in the areas that maybe we need somebody with a bit of experience to show, and he did that. there was another big

win for fulham today, as theirform gathers momentum. they hammered west ham 5—0 at craven cottage — their first win over the hammers since 2014. rauljiminez and willian were among the scorers, as fulham jump above chelsea and up to 10th place in the table. chelsea lost again today — this time 2—0 — to everton, whose form is also peaking atjust the right time, as sean dyche's side put further distance between themselves and the bottom to the women's super league now, where the title race is really hotting up after arsenal thrashed leaders and defending wsl champions chelsea 4—1 in front of a record crowd ofjust over 59,000 at emirates stadium. the gunners are now level on points with chelsea at the top of the table. manchester united finished the day in fourth place after a win at tottenham. cricket, and england's

women have lost the third and final t20 against india, but they won the series 2—1. england batted first in mumbai — heather knight played a captain's innings as she made 52 on the way to a total of 127—5. but opener smriti mandhana got india off to an excellent start with a knock of a8, as the home side chased down the runs with an over to spare, winning by five wickets. the two sides play a one—off test this week on thursday in mumbai. and that's all the sport for now. conspiracy theorist alex jones has had his account on x, formerly twitter, reinstated by elon musk. mr musk asked users to vote on whether or not to lift a ban on alexjones' account, signalling he would honour the result. and the majority of people voted from the newsroom, our reporter tom brada has the details. this is the poll which

determined that alex jones, the infamous conspiracy theorist, can return to x. almost two million people cast their votes, with around 70% voting in favour of his comeback. and underneath the poll, elon musk had a simple message... "the people have spoken and so it shall be." alex jones is the founder of the right—wing conspiracy theory website infowars, and he was originally banned from what was then twitter, then under previous ownership, for breaching their rules on abusive behaviour. and this is a major u—turn for mr musk himself. last year, he posted in reference to the death of his first—born child and what he was referring to was this... sandy hook is a synthetic,

completely fake with actors, in my view, manufactured. i couldn't believe it at first. those were a series of false claims made about the 2012 sandy hook school shooting in which 20 children and six adults died. since then, alexjones has been ordered to pay more than $1 billion in damages. so, why would elon musk be willing to let him back on his site? well, elon musk has been a vocal supporter of free speech and this is what he told the bbc last year. free speech is meaningless unless you allow people you don't like to say things you don't like, otherwise it's irrelevant. the point at which you lose free speech, it doesn't come back. alexjones remains banned on platforms like facebook and youtube, but he nowjoins a long list of divisive characters who have been allowed back on x since elon musk took over including donald trump, kanye west and andrew tate. but it comes at

a perilous time for x. many advertisers have already left the platform because of concerns over hate speech. and the comeback of alexjones, a man who is synonymous, for many, with conspiracy theories, misinformation and outright lies, will only add to the uncertainty. earlier i spoke to the tech journalist will guyatt, who gave his reaction to alexjones being allowed back on x. all the money in the world doesn't buy you class or humility, i think that's the first place i would like to start. i am very shocked by this. i followed the sale of twitter to elon musk, i have followed elon musk for much longer. i don't know what comes from this, when you are wilfully letting a man back onto the platform that has been fined $1.5 billion for suggesting the death of innocent children was a conspiracy theory. and actors and actresses were employed. this isn't about freedom of speech,

this is someone who has wilfully lied and been found out by a court to be a liar and has been forced to pay damages and decided to go bankrupt because they didn't want to pay. so, this is not the type of person i should imagine any other organisation and technology would wilfully be welcoming back onto their platform. elon musk i think now is running x into the ground. he is either going to bankrupt it and blame the mainstream media and society for not making it work or he isjust going to keep riding this till the wheels fall off and we'lljust see what happens when it has lost all normality and use as a mainstream platform. i have no other explanation for this. a video shared online appearing to show swimmers

at a beach in australia, approaching a humpback whale that was swimming close to the shore. the whale can be seen straying into shallow waters and attracting the attention of beachgoers. the whale later managed to swim back into deeper waters. the obvious concern was it would be splendid but it managed to swim back out. hello. another wet day for many of us. and further rain and wind to come for a time at least this evening, particularly across western parts of the uk, around the irish sea. but then later tonight and towards the early hours, the skies will clear and the winds will fall light. now, if we look at the satellite picture, this swirl of cloud is actually storm franklin moving across ireland, bringing severe gales there.

reports of even the odd tornado being spawned by this weather front associated with franklin. let's have a look at the radar picture. and you can see from earlier on where the rain has been moving from, a really rugged area of weather. that's an indication of some vicious conditions in places, gusty winds as well. but the weather front is clearing, although the centre of the low is still going to go across the irish sea and bring some rain to parts of central britain. but then towards the early hours, notice that the skies are starting to clear. it's not going to be a cold warning by any means. around five in aberdeen, five in belfast. on the south coast, it'll be around eight degrees celsius. now on monday, we're actually in between the systems, literally sandwiched between the two — one towards the east, another one approaching out towards the west. and actually, for many of us, bright, if not sunny weather to come right from the word go. so, this is the morning and then in the afternoon it could actually be cloudy across eastern scotland and the borders, but the vast majority of us should have at least bright weather. temperatures typically between eight and ten degrees celsius on monday. and then on tuesday,

another low pressure affects us. this one actually is going to be quite slow moving. so, slow—moving showers with some drier gaps in between. could be quite windy around the far south—west of the country and also particularly wet in eastern and northern scotland. a persistent easterly wind dragging in that rain—bearing cloud. so, that was tuesday. wednesday, the low pressure moves away. thursday, we're brushed by weather systems in the north and then towards the end of the week and into the weekend, the thinking is pretty sure high pressure is going to build in from the south. but the weather fronts never too far away from scotland this weekend. so, yes, for many of us, it's a case of turning things drier and brighterfrom around friday onwards. you can see there belfast, swansea and london, but glasgow could still catch some rain over the weekend.

this is bbc news, the 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 in khan younis. the world health organization says the war in gaza is having a catastrophic impact on health care there. it warned that health workers are having to work in unimaginable conditions. in argentina, right—wing,

anti—establishment, economist, javier milei, has been sworn in as president. mr milei said that shock treatment is needed to deal with the economic crisis in the country. inflation in argentina is rapidly heading towards 200%. britains's former immigration minister, robertjenrick, has said it was clear to anyone involved with the government's new rwanda asylum legislation that it would not work. now on bbc news — tecthlore: japan: episode two. in tecthlore, we go in search of some of the most exciting innovations in tech the world has to offer, and i get to combine my two passions — tech and travel. this time, i'm injapan.
