rejected the offer of further releases until israel into the war. a spokesman said, we cannot talk about negotiations all israel continues its aggression. fighting in the gaza strip is escalated and the latest israeli bombardment at the latest israeli bombardment at the united nations, security council, the wording of the cease—fire resolution is still being worked on repeatedly delayed and the health ministry says 20,000 people have now died since the start of the conflict in gaza. 1200 israelis tied into which hostages were taken when hamas invaded israel on october the 7th. shanna give me an update on the ongoing negotiations with the cease—fire in gaza. to ongoing negotiations with the cease-fire in gaza.— ongoing negotiations with the cease-fire in gaza. to our listeners and viewers. _ cease-fire in gaza. to our listeners and viewers. it _ cease-fire in gaza. to our listeners and viewers, it also _ cease-fire in gaza. to our listeners and viewers, it also makes - cease-fire in gaza. to our listeners and viewers, it also makes but - cease-fire in gaza. to our listeners and viewers, it also makes but the| and viewers, it also makes but the semantics, if they go through will mean very real things on the ground

that started the un and the resolution is still under negotiation and we are still changing the wording from hostilities to suspension of hostilities to suspension of hostilities pointing the sticking point when it comes to the un talks is control of the humanitarian aid or un oversight of the humanitarian aid, the un is still concerned about whether or not that means israel won't have control over inspection of the humanitarian aid. but you also have the two sides that are very solid within the stances and hamas leader is still in cairo and talks with it head of the intelligence who handles the gaza files, but the islamichhad of categorically said in his statement that there would be no release of hostages until the cease—fire is

complete and others a complete cease—fire, until the war ends, complete and others a complete cease—fire, untilthe war ends, it's out of the question for the israeli government weird benjamin netanyahu say someone who thinks the fighting. it's disconnected with reality. in the middle of all of that coming of officials, hamas officials talking about how your budget come to a deal that can lead to a negotiation that can get to an agreement that can change the reality on the ground and on the israeli side, the talks are furious, desperate and ongoing than lord cameron is also our visited cairo and the british secretary and diplomacy, there's no shortage of diplomacy, there's no shortage of diplomacy or elect to get sound that translates into negotiation and beats to agreements and steps forward. ,., ., ., beats to agreements and steps forward. ., ., ., ., , forward. going ahead of any potential— forward. going ahead of any potential vote _ forward. going ahead of any

because no services are running at all, no euro tunnel services where you drive on with your card to the channel tunnel, there suspended too. you can find euro * bags and a lot of people are scratching their heads and desperate for information no other gloom faces and people do not know how long this will last. the euro tunnel staff and the french side of the channel this morning, walked out in the dispute over pay and members of the union have been offered a one off bonus for the end offered a one off bonus for the end of year for thousand euros but for told that the union would demand three times that amount and members simply decided they would not carry on working today and that is meant for tens of thousands of people a

huge problem of not being able to get across the channel and some people have been trying to book flights but there's been some disruption due to weather here in the uk and other people heading down there to try to get on the ferry instead and how long this will last. is there any sign of when this will be resolved?— is there any sign of when this will be resolved? ., , , , ., be resolved? know because i spoke to them because — be resolved? know because i spoke to them because they _ be resolved? know because i spoke to them because they were _ be resolved? know because i spoke to them because they were taken - be resolved? know because i spoke to them because they were taken by - them because they were taken by complete surprise when this walk—out happened earlier this morning and they say they have no idea how long it's going to last because it wasn't an official union action and were given notification of the explained i've been and how long is going to last and as we often see with strike action, at the moment, it's a question of wait—and—see negotiations are taking place of the

union to try to persuade staff to come back but we haven't had any word on how those will actually go and what we are often told in the situations of passengers were affected is to check before you travel by contacting euro tunnel and euro start saying what is going on and how long this is going to last or simply being taught by those companies, actually, we do not know. if he did any more information than what is happening, we will bring it to you if you refer to the bbc website. what is happening in saddam, food aid which is crucial for so many people there has been altered in parts of this because of rampant insecurity following the seizure of this by the paramilitary support forces. the international committee says it is also moved its staff patted the city. since they

took control, hundreds of thousands of people have fled in many of them for a second time a spokesperson for the world food programme updated me on recent developments in saddam. because the conflict spilt over, people were already left their homes and left everything behind again and the families that have homes requesting refugees from khartoum are now forced to flee around the edge of thousand people picking up again it when eastern states and it is most concerned about this is that now, because of the insecurity, we upon some of our operations and provide emergency assistance this month alone, we had to support1 million people in that state alone

and now, we need to figure out how we can reach those people who need help the most we are also very concerned about the safety and security of our food assistance and as well as premises and operations because ongoing living happening on the ground and partings of the conflict to protect humanity in assets and assistants that allow humanitarians to do their work because the sudanese people needed now more than ever after enduring these horrors three quarters of the year. these horrors three quarters of the ear. , , ., ., ., ., these horrors three quarters of the ear. , ., ., ., ., , year. give us an idea of how many peeple been _ year. give us an idea of how many people been impacted _ year. give us an idea of how many people been impacted by - year. give us an idea of how many people been impacted by this - year. give us an idea of how many people been impacted by this and | year. give us an idea of how many - people been impacted by this and how much impact as his had on food supplies. much impact as his had on food su lies. �* , ., ., much impact as his had on food su lies. �* , . ., ., much impact as his had on food

goods and this is a dire hunger situation and this is a season where as ever, some families in khartoum, but in may, these are going to run out and that means that there'll be higher levels of food insecurity. talking about the dire situation in saddam. —— sudan. a plan for a new european football competition has been released after the european union's highest court ruled that football's governing bodies were wrong to ban a breakaway super league two years ago. in its ruling, the the european court ofjustice said the actions of uefa and fifa

gave me his analysis. when it came upon the first side especially byron munich was the biggest name in german football, the first and everybody wanted to get into that super league and they said no, we do not want to and as we just quoted, germany, the national league is very strong and byron munich says the most important title of the seasonis the most important title of the season is the national title because it is the most honest title and byron munich says if people chop out of this, other teams might follow if you have to save our national league the fans in germany are very traditional and we had a huge thing going on because the german football league just allowed investors by some percent of the media and the

football league and the fans last weekend, they stop singing the first 12 minutes each and every game and after 12 minutes, they began throwing cordon chocolate many pieces and dollar bills wanted to show that we are against things that are only about money.— are only about money. explained to me, of this — are only about money. explained to me. of this be _ are only about money. explained to me, of this be detrimental- are only about money. explained to me, of this be detrimental to - are only about money. explained to me, of this be detrimental to the i me, of this be detrimental to the german league.— me, of this be detrimental to the german league. that is something that they're _ german league. that is something that they're afraid _ german league. that is something that they're afraid of, _ german league. that is something that they're afraid of, that - german league. that is something that they're afraid of, that the, - that they're afraid of, that the, the bundesliga, there's more money it's all about money and in germany, having the amateur clubs, they're

afraid that they will not participate in money that is very complicated but it's matter of the heart of the football fans in germany and they say it is not all about money but that's the reason why the lash, they had many clubs behind them and there was a lot of russian money and things like that, they say we do not need an investor, we want to spend money and it is super league is all about money and has nothing to do with getting relegated the fans are against it and they want to play in germany. spectra top story coming from prague

in the czech republic. —— back to our top story. these pictures you can hear gunshots and look, you can see peoplejumping incredibly see people jumping incredibly jumping see peoplejumping incredibly jumping quite a distance from a window to allege, down to a balcony and that, we believe is the university building it can hear the background, the gunshot noise. this pictures is coming to us of the bbc and this is the seeing, for mexico, so number of people being led out of the building and speaking to the university professor who told me that he and his students brought a lecture inside the building are still being kept in another part of the building under an evacuation

order missing a number of people who just left the university. a huge amount of reaction from across the board the prime minister said he will cancel all upcoming events because of the tragic events that have been forwarded in prague and the mayor of prague has told czech media that there was thought this was something they did not concern us, now it turns out that unfortunately, our world is also changing the problem of the individual shooters emergent care as well. the latest information you're getting here, more than 15 people have been killed and authority say after that mass shooting in prague, we are hearing 24 people a been injured and some of them very seriously indeed. police say the shooters body has been found at the scene. we also hearing the student was a 24—year—old from a village

outside of prague, he was a student at the university and please confirm that early round in the day and it's a village or town, where he lives, his father was found dead and police had in fact through the day, put out a search for the gunmen. we know nothing is shipped to ms but as always, were trending at the very latest information on bbc news have a website to get the very latest book reviewers and is nationally viewers and those in the uk, the six o'clock news is coming up next. hello again. storm pia has been bringing some very strong winds, particularly to the northern half of the uk, and it has been bringing some issues. for example, here on the bottom bridge just by the trafford centre

on manchester's orbital m60 motorway, a lorry got blown over by the strong winds. reports of some transport disruption elsewhere. a top gust of 81 mph recorded in shetland, into the 70s across mainland scotland and over the very tops of the pennines as well. now the core of storm pia is actually now moving into scandinavia. we get a core of really strong winds going into denmark over the next few hours. gusts could reach 80—90 mph, strong enough to bring some disruption here and maybe even blow some roofs off buildings. into denmark as we go through the next 12 hours or so. meanwhile, for us, those very strong winds will very gradually begin to fade away through the afternoon. but that said, we're still looking at gusts of wind well into the fifties or even sixties of miles an hour through the rest of the afternoon. so there still could be a few issues in terms of power cuts and a bit of transport disruption through the rest of today. then overnight, it stays quite windy. outbreaks of rain across the north and the west, starting to turn colder in shetland,

where we are looking at some snowfall here. could be a few centimetres, leading to some icy conditions. and for a time with those strong winds, blizzard conditions in shetland seem likely as well. on into friday's forecast, we've got some rain pushing in from the north and west. still quite a blustery kind of day. the coldest air still across parts of northern scotland, where temperatures not getting much above freezing. in lerwick, the mildest weather. further southwards for northern ireland, england, wales, where temperatures typically be around 11 or 12 degrees celsius. it continues to be relatively mild across most of the uk on saturday. the cold air really confined to northern scotland. but as the weather front bumps into that cold air, we probably will see a spell of snow friday night and into the first part of saturday across northern scotland, even potentially down to low levels. but, ultimately, the milder air will push its way in, so any snow will tend to turn back to rain as we go through

the day on saturday across northern scotland. and we'll finish with these kind of temperatures — 12 or 13 degrees celsius. it will end up being pretty mild for most of us. staying mild, then, as we head into the weekend. for christmas day itself, might see the weather cold enough across northern scotland for some mountain flurries.
