injerusalem, lucy williamson. israel's army is in gaza to kill hamas fighters and bring hostages home. clear targets obliterated in the chaos of conflict. three of those shot dead in the northern district of sharjah. not hamas gunmen, but the captives israel came to save. one of them was yotam hayim, 28—years—old, a drummer with a heavy metal band, kidnapped from kibbutz kfar aza. his mother spoke to the bbc last month. they are talking about releasing a few here, a few there. i know that they are playing with us, with our minds, with our hearts. we must have hope. another of those killed was 25—year—old samah al talaq, the eldest son of ten children who worked with his father and brother in a hatchery

and loved motorcycles. and alon shamriz is kidnapped from kfar aza. samer and alon were mistakenly identified as a threat. prime minister benjamin netanyahu called it an unbearable tragedy. israel's armed forces are once again bearing the weight of their failure to protect the vulnerable. the idf mistakenly identified three kidnapped israelis as a threat. the force fired at them and they were killed. after the shooting an immediate suspicion arose about the identity of the dead, and their bodies were quickly transferred for examination in israel and there the hostages were identified. the torment expressed by the families of hostages has cut deeper tonight. already angry with israel's prime minister for not negotiating the release of more hostages. they also have his promise ringing in their ears that israel's military

campaign in gaza would help bring their relatives home. lucy williamson, bbc news, jerusalem. live to italy. these are the live pictures of a right—wing political festival, certainly a gathering, with some pretty big names attending. the italian prime minister, who has organised it, giorgia meloni, and uk prime minister rishi sunak expected as well as the tech billionaire elon musk. migration expected to be high on the agenda. live now to chiara albanese, rome bureu chief for bloomberg, who is live at the festival. a pleasure to be here, you can see the festival and some noise in helicopters, so apologies for that, they are looking out for elon musk�*s

similar set of challenges, again when it comes to migration. how do you implement policies? let’s when it comes to migration. how do you implement policies?— you implement policies? let's talk about that, _ you implement policies? let's talk about that, what _ you implement policies? let's talk about that, what are _ you implement policies? let's talk about that, what are we _ you implement policies? let's talk about that, what are we expecting | you implement policies? let's talk i about that, what are we expecting to hear? ., ., about that, what are we expecting to hear? ., ._ ., about that, what are we expecting to hear? ., ., , . ., hear? today we do expect also them to shake hands _ hear? today we do expect also them to shake hands and _ hear? today we do expect also them to shake hands and an _ hear? today we do expect also them to shake hands and an institutional. to shake hands and an institutional setup, where the prime minister has offices. we don't expect big statements. definitely a convergence on migration, italy distract an agreement with albania to send migrants —— just struck an agreement. this is somehow similar to the policies that have been offered in the uk.— kuwait's emir sheikh nawaf al—ahmad al—sabah has died at the age of 86. the emir had been suffering from poor health and was admitted to hospital last month. the sheikh had led the oil—rich nation for the last three years following the death of his half—brother. kuwait borders iraq

and saudi arabia and is home to some 11.2 million people. kuwait has been a staunch us ally since the 1991 gulf war, and emir nawar had served in various cabinet positions, including leading the ministries of defence. officials in los angeles say the death of the actor matthew perry was an accident, caused by the effects of ketamine, a drug used as an anaesthetic. the actor — best known for playing chandler bing in friends — was found unresponsive in a pool at his home in october. he was 5a. our culture reporter noor nanji has more on this. matthew perry was found unresponsive in his pool in his house in la in october. at the time, the postmortem was inconclusive but on friday the la county medical examiner put out a statement. it said he had died from the acute effects of ketamine

with contributing factors to his death, drowning and coronary artery disease plus a drug used to treat opioid disorder. the manner of his death was recorded as an accident. at the height of his fame, he had been battling various addictions — painkillers and alcohol — and he attended a rehabilitation clinic on multiple occasions. in his memoir, he wrote that he had been mostly sober since 2001, save for about 60—70 mishaps. an extraordinary career, and that outpouring of affection for him when the news first broke. i'm sure now lots of people will be distressed by the details here. that's right. he was well—loved and he rose to fame playing chandler bing

in friends, six young people navigating dating, and he was one of the key characters. it aired for a whole decade between 19911—2004. there was more to him thanjust friends. he also starred in numerous movies including the whole nine yards and its sequel. and he wrote a play in 2016 called the end of longing. tributes started flooding in following the wake of his death from his fellow co—stars. jennifer aniston, who played rachel in the sitcom, said that having "to say goodbye to our matty has been such an insane wave of emotions" that

she's never experienced before, and the actor david schwimmer, who played ross, thanked him for his laughter and creativity. let's get some of the day's other news now. the mayor of the ukrainian capital, kyiv says anti—aircraft units destroyed russian drones attacking the city as air raid sirens and explosions were heard across the city. the air force says 30 of 31 drones were shot down across the country early on saturday with no casualties or serious damage reported. seven organisers of a long—distance race in chinam in which 21 runners died because of extreme cold weatherm have been sentenced to prison. the competitors died in may 2021 when a storm hit the 100km event in gansu province. scientists who identified how a hormone makes some women extremely sick during pregnancy say they're now looking at whether the genes of the baby's father also have an effect. the level of sickness depends on how much of the hormone gdf15 is produced. hospitals across the uk

are struggling to deal with overcrowded wards and long waits outside accident and emergency departments as nhs leaders warn winter pressures are affecting the service. the latest nhs england figures show more than a third of ambulances waited longer than 30 minutes when they arrived at a&e last week. meanwhile, the chief executive of nhs wales has warned the system there is likely to be under exceptional pressure this winter. and in scotland, figures show in the first week of december, one in ten ambulances were waiting almost two hours for a space in a&e. our reporter lisa summers has spent one shift with an ambulance crew in edinburgh. control: female has collapsed at the side of the road _ and has had a seizure. can you squeeze my hand? do you know what's happened? this woman needs taking to hospital after a seizure. a jogger called 999 after seeing her collapse. she has not spoken at all.

an hour into the shift and things are looking busy for technician aaron and paramedic david. a&e is already filled, but a space managed by paramedics has been converted into a holding area for patients so that crews can get back on the road. we call that the corridor which is basically an area we can take patients into, sort of assess them, monitor them by ambulance staff so they remain there under their care and then when there is space in the main department they move into the care of hospital staff. the next call is categorised as yellow, it's been in the system for several hours but moments later... we have been diverted so we have now gone to a higher priority call, a one—year—old that has got breathing problems. what have we got here? hello. it sounds all up here but deep in his lungs

sound, ok? charlie is heading to the hospital for further checks. he has developed a chest infection but is now recovering at home. ambulance service, is the patient breathing? i will stay on the line with you for as long as i can. in the control room, the picture is of scotland—wide pressures, the first test of winter. david and darren had returned to base after seven hours on the road. —— aaron. another red call. this crew here are en route to a high priority emergency for a young baby currently having a seizure. let'sjust see what we're dealing with. theyjoin a critical care team on site. did she start to choke or anything? did she go rigid? there was a red call and we were the closest crew so we did not get a break but thankfully, by the time we got there,

the baby was alert and all smiles and we thought it's best to get her checked out at hospital. outside edinburgh royal infirmary accident and emergency, ambulances queue up. over half the ambulances on duty are now here. there are 1a ambulances outside the hospital at the moment, despite efforts to try and speed up the process by which patients can be brought in for further treatment. before last year or the year before, did you ever really...? pressures in the hospital were always manageable but now hospital demand on services, it is increasing year on year. today is exceptionally busy — the air ambulance comes in with a&e ambulances waiting outside. a big list of emergency calls and a small list of ambulance resources

and we need to balance and juggle. just because you come by ambulance it does not mean you will be seen any quicker by triage. it is coming to the end of a 12—hour shift for david and aaron but there is no let—up in the 999 calls. now it's time for a look at today's sport. hello again. let's start with the premier league, where nottingham forest lost their fifth game in six matches, and their poor run is cranking up the pressure on boss steve cooper. their latest defeat at home to tottenham, who have found their form again. dejan kulusevski set up richarlison for the opener and then scored himself to wrap up the win, and put spurs back within touching distance of the top four. but defeat for forest means they remain five points from safety and have now played a game more than those around them. but cooper insists his team are giving it their all, to get on the right track.

obviously nothing good about the run of form we are in, we will not hide away from it and not face up. it is away from it and not face up. it is a time to stand up and be counted. no complaints about the commitment from the guys, no real complaints with the general performance, what we have fallen short at is defining moments in the game to make a difference. life after the champions league, starts for newcastle this afternoon with a home match against freescoring fulham. manager eddie howe was disappointed to exit european competitions but says everyone at the club remains united. we are like a family, i know it is like an overused cliche, but we are close, with them and everybody connected with the club and working with the club, so i think there's that feeling that they are very supportive of the players and understanding of how much they have given. everton will stay at goodison park for another season, before moving to their new stadium in 2025, due to commercial and logistical reasons and supporter feedback.

today they are at burnley, as sean dyche goes back to his former club for the first time. dyche is still a cult hero in burnley, but now he returns with his focus on everton and no room for sentiment. i'm not really... people who know me in football, i don't go in for that sort of stuff, there's a massive respect because of my time there and i always had a big respect and connection with the people and the fans because of my time and the team and what we achieved, but to be honest, when the whistle blows, you want to win! two other games to tell you about in the premier league on saturday, chelsea host bottom club sheffield united, and luton play bournemouth. you can follow them all on the bbc sport website. on to cricket, and after losing a test match in india, for the first time, england captain heather knight has said

the conditions were extreme and not what they're used to. england were chasing a mammoth a79 to win, in this one—off test match in mumbai, but india dismissed them forjust 131 with only two batters, reaching 20 runs. they were beaten by 3117 runs. a proper thrashing and the team's wait for a test win goes on. australia's men have a commanding lead in theirfirst test against pakistan, in perth. 300 is their advantage, at the end of day 3, as they finished their second innings on 811—2, with nathan lyon now one wicket away from his 500th in test matches. in the nba, the san antonio spurs have ended their record 18—game losing streak by beating lebronjames and the los angeles lakers. the spurs came through 129—115 with seven players, including french star victor wembanyama, in double figures. it was the teenager's first time to face superstar lebron, after the four—time nba champion missed wednesday's game through injury, but he said playing

againstjames didn't alter his performance. i would have thought i would feel some type of way, but honestly on the court i was just trying to win, trying to defend and make the right player, so, no, i had no feelings on the court. and that's all the sport for now. a british teenagerfor a british teenager for six years is expected to fly home. he disappeared on a family holiday to spain with his mother and grandfather in 2017. he was found on wednesday morning by a motorist who saw him walking through the rain near toulouse. french authorities say he fled his mother because she wanted to take him to finland. our europe corresponded is in toulouse. the authorities— corresponded is in toulouse. tue: authorities have corresponded is in toulouse. tte: authorities have been corresponded is in toulouse. tt2 authorities have been describing a
