jordan's king abdullah warns him of the "catastrophic repercussions" of israel's campaign in gaza. rishi sunak insists he has faith in his government's rwanda plan, despite leaked papers suggesting he had doubts. this hasn't been tried before in our country. i mean, it's fair to say it is novel. i've been very clear that this is a novel scheme. of course it's novel. but actually we should have more confidence today that it will work precisely because we've got a returns agreement with albania that is working incredibly well. polls close in bangladesh's election. early indications suggest a low turnout of voters, and the current prime minister is expected to win a fourth consecutive term. and hollywood rolls out the red carpet for one of its biggest nights — the golden globe awards. hello, i'm luxmy gopal. jordan's king abdullah has warned the us secretary

of state antony blinken of �*catastrophic repercussions�* of the continuation of israel's military campaign in gaza. mr blinken is on a tour of the middle east as the us tried to prevent the conflict in gaza from spreading. earlier he met thejordanian foreign minister. king abdullah also urged blinken to put pressure on israel to agree to an immediate ceasefire. later mr blinken will head to qatar for talks with the emir. as the diplomacy continues, so does the fighting, with israel carrying out air strikes overnight in the city of khan younis in southern gaza. we are getting varying accounts of the death toll. the afp news agency says at least 64 people have been killed, while reuters say 116 have lost their lives. in the west bank, palestinian officials said six people had been killed in an israeli air raid on the city ofjenin. an israeli border officer has also been killed in operations there. and an israeli civilian was killed in what has been described

as a shooting attack in the west bank. the israeli army says it's completed what it claims is the �*dismantling" of hamas�*s command structure in the northern gaza strip. a spokesman said hamas fighters could operate only �*sporadically�* in the area. it's also emerged that a cameraman working in gaza for the aljazeera network hsa been killed. hamza al—dahdouh is reported to have been hit by an israeli drone strike while travelling from khan younis to gaza. another journalist also died in the incident. hamza had been working alongside his father, wael, who is the aljazeera correspondent in gaza. this is wael, pictured at his son's funeral, along with other members of his family. our correspondent injerusalem, shaimaa khalil, gave me this update. and we also now know from the aljazeera network reporting that their journalist and cameraman hamza al—dahdouh

who is also the eldest son of wael al—dahdouh, aljazeera's gaza correspondent, was killed, among otherjournalists, as he was on the road between khan younis and rafah. according to an aljazeera correspondent they were on their way there to film in an area to the north—east of rafah. this was a reported safe zone, according to the israeli army but it had reportedly experienced some bombardment. the team was on their way to cover that when their vehicle was targeted or was struck by a drone strike. we have just been watching live pictures of the aftermath of that vehicle after it was struck but also of wael al—dahdouh, the al jazeera correspondent himself, standing next to the body of his son for a final goodbye in tears holding his hand. if you remember wael al—dahdouh is the

same correspondent who had lost his wife, his grandchild, his 15—year—old son, his seven—year—old daughter in a separate strike in october early on in the fighting, but who himself was wounded when his cameraman was killed when they were filming last month. this is the latest that we are getting from khan younis but also the bombardment continues in central gaza. also worth saying the bbc has reached out to the idf to get their response to this particular incident. we are still waiting for that response. but i think this shows you the difficult picture that antony blinken faces with the fighting on the ground, with the continued tension in the west bank, including what happened injenin as well, you were saying, six palestinians dead, one israeli border officer killed and others wounded when their vehicle struck an explosive device. this is a very difficult and complicated picture and a complicated situation that antony blinken wants to calm down and also make sure that

the fighting doesn't spill over in other areas of the region, specifically in lebanon. the us secretary of state, antony blinken, will meet arab the uk's prime minister rishi sunak has confirmed the government is looking at legal options to exonerate sub—postmasters who've been wrongfully convicted of fraud because of a faulty computer accounting system. speaking to laura kuenssberg, he called the scandal an appalling miscarriage ofjustice" and said he hoped to make this right. our westminster correspondent georgia roberts reports. one of these men is going to take the keys to number ten this year with a general election fast approaching, but confirmation from rishi sunak that the government will review the post office's role in sub—postmaster appeals. it is review the post office's role in sub-postmaster appeals. it is an a- allin: sub-postmaster appeals. it is an appalling miscarriage _ sub-postmaster appeals. it is an appalling miscarriage of - sub-postmaster appeals. it is an appalling miscarriage ofjustice. | sub-postmaster appeals. it is an l appalling miscarriage ofjustice. it happened a very long time ago, in

weather and intense rainfall. this lunchtime there are nearly 350 flood warnings and alerts in place in england, and five in wales. simonjones has the latest. the rain may have stopped, but the worry hasn't. in talks in lincolnshire, families are saving what they can from the advances of the river trent. people living alongside the river lambourn in berkshire have been up all night monitoring the situation with some properties already flooded. we thought we had peaked on all of the water levels by friday. however, over the last 12 and 24 hours, although we've had a considerable period of dry weather and it was even sunny yesterday, water levels have continued to rise. hundreds of flood alerts and warnings remain in place across england and wales. getting around isn't easy. dunham bridge connecting lincolnshire and nottinghamshire remains closed, even though we've got some dry weather

in the forecast. thank goodness. we're really pleased about that. is going to take a while for- the peaks in the rivers to move down through to the sea and take the pressure off communities - like like those we've seen in recent days. j the prime minister meets the environment agency team in oxford. the government's been accused of being asleep at the wheel by labour in its response to the widespread flooding chaos. ministers say affected communities in england will be able to apply for funding to help them through these extremely challenging times. now it's set to get a lot chillier, too. a cold weather alert has been issued by the uk health security agency with the cold snap expected to last several days, bringing with it the threat of ice. simon jones, bbc news. police in lincolnshire say two people have died after their car became submerged in water. it happened on saturday in tetney lock, in the early afternoon, near grimsby and the mouth of the river humber. police say there was a collision,

and a blue mercedes 300 left the road. a 16—year—old boy and a 40—year—old man were pronounced dead at the scene. their next of kin have been informed. the polls have now closed in bangladesh's general election. voting took place amid tight security after violence on the eve of the poll. at least 14 polling stations were set on fire. on friday, a busy commuter train was allegedly set on fire, killing four passengers. prime minister sheikh hasina is trying to gain a fourth straight term in office. bangladesh's chief election comissioner has described the violence as an attempt to sabotage the vote. the main opposition bangladesh nationalist party has asked people to shun the poll. and international observers including the un have said the poll is taking place in a repressive environment. this was prime minister sheikh hasina voting a little earlier. the initial results are expected by early monday.

our south asia correspondent samira hussain, is outside a polling station in the capital, dhaka, and told me the latest developments. well, in previous general elections there has been quite a bit of violence as well, but also, more concerningly, there was a lot of vote rigging, which is why this election, prime minister sheikh hasina was determined to have what she could call free and fair elections. of course, the challenge is that the main opposition party, the bangladesh nationalist party, did not participate. polls have just closed. i am near a polling station and they are going to start counting the votes shortly. but if you look at voter turnout, i mean, just half an hour before the polls closed, we heard from the election commissioner that in fact there was about a 27% voter turnout. that is pretty low. by comparison, in the last general election in the uk, you had a 67% voter turnout.

in the last presidential election in the united states, you saw more than 50% of voters turn out. so it then calls into question whether or not these results will truly be reflective of the will of the people, given the low turnout and the fact that the main opposition party did not contest. and just briefly, what are we expecting the opposition party to do, because we know that they have in effect boycotted this general election, but where does that leave them and any potential for voting for an opposition for people in the coming weeks, months, years perhaps? exactly, and that is a question that i put to one of the senior leaders of the bnp, the bangladesh nationalist party. you are not contesting in these elections, it seems that prime minister sheikh hasina is all but guaranteed another five years in office,

what is the opposition's plan? and to them it is a matter of continuing to exercise their democratic right, to try and oppose this government and oppose what they say is a crackdown on freedom of expression and on protest, but they have said they are committed to doing this within the democratic process as much as possible. as we've been hearing, the prime minister confirmed a review of post office prosecutions — and powers — after the it scandal which saw hundreds of post masters and mistresses "wrongfully treated". including several who were convicted. our business correspondent marc ashdownjoins me now — what might happen next? and remind us how these issues around the horizon software were investigated previously? this around the horizon software were investigated previously?— investigated previously? this is hu . el investigated previously? this is

hugely complicated. _ investigated previously? this is hugely complicated. we - investigated previously? this is hugely complicated. we are - investigated previously? this is - hugely complicated. we are talking about 700 convictions over a 16 year period, from 1999 — 2015, when these postmasters and mistresses, the pillars of the village community, they were accused of theft, false accounting, fraud, some of them, because of the discrepancies this system was throwing up. some of them were even sent to prison. the issue now is how they go about overturning those convictions. 700 of them. at the moment, each and every one of them has to appeal individually, and to the post office itself, to try and appeal it. after many of them say they were terrorised, traumatised, over many years by this whole saga, scandal, they are perhaps not confident to do that. it has become a big issue because of this itv drama, rishi sunak grilled on it today on the airwaves, and if the government looking at two

things. firstly, how to speed up that process of overturning those convictions. perhaps removing the post office entirely from that process. may be passing it on to the crown prosecution service. and secondly how to administer compensation. a lot have got compensation. a lot have got compensation already but the convictions have got to be overturned before compensation can be handed out. there is a public inquiry going on and they tell me there is mounting evidence that there is mounting evidence that there is mounting evidence that there is a case to have a mass exoneration, so the state to intervene and overturn all these cases as one. otherwise it could take years to resolve. that will be very difficult. that will require some legislation to be passed in parliament. that is tricky constitutionally and politically, but it will be high on mps and' mines when they return tomorrow. might we see a permanent change in how the post office investigates its own issues?— how the post office investigates its own issues? ., ., , , own issues? there has already been chances. own issues? there has already been changes- they _ own issues? there has already been changes- they no — own issues? there has already been changes. they no longer _

own issues? there has already been changes. they no longer prosecute l own issues? there has already beenl changes. they no longer prosecute in quite the same way they did. and the key change they will be looking at now is how to deal with these legacy issues, these 700 convictions, and there could be more. a body was set “p there could be more. a body was set up to oversee the compensation process. they could be another couple of hundred cases in the system, so we could be talking more like 900 cases. only 93 also have been resolved, so there is growing pressure to resolve these as quickly as possible. that might require some kind of state intervention as the quickest way to make sure we get somejustice, some compensation quickest way to make sure we get some justice, some compensation and some justice, some compensation and some closure for these people, many of whom have two decades also trying to clear their names.— hello from the bbc sport centre. rafael nadal has pulled out of the australian open which starts in a week's time. he made his comeback at the brisbane international after nearly a year out with a hip injury and he felt

discomfort in the same area during his quarter—final defeat to jordan thompson. a scan has revealed a very small muscle tear. nadal says it's not the same issue that required surgery injune but he's not ready to compete at the highest level in five—set matches and nd he's returning to spain for treatment and rest. one man who's been thwarted by nadal in the past, the former world number three grigor dimitrov, has won his first atp title in more than six years. the 32—year—old has seen off holger rune, a player in the world's top five and 12 years hisjunior, to win the brisbane international in straight sets. it was tighter than the scoreline suggests. the first set went to a tie—break and there was just one break of serve in the second. an emotional dimitrov said, "it's been a while since i held one of these", as he lifted the trophy. my love affair started 11 years ago out here in brisbane and it continues. i am very thankful that i am able to play in front of you guys and lift the trophy again. it means a lot to me

for so many different reasons. i want to say thank you to my team. my parents are not here, they had to rush to the airport, so it's a shame they are not here, but i will send them a picture. laughter coco gauff has shown why she's one of the favourites to win the australian open. the us open champion, still only 19, came from a set down to beat elina svitolina and retain her auckland classic title. meanwhile elena rybakina reversed the result of last year's australian open final, beating aryna sabalenka convincingly to take the title in the women's event in brisbane. the former wimbledon champion ending sabalenka's 15—match winning streak on australian soil and promising afterwradrs to match her on court improvements with her performance in front of the cameras. honestly, guys, i don't enjoy this part of ourjob so much. best of all, i may be did not get as much attention as other players and

still, ifi attention as other players and still, if i have to do some kind of stuff outside of the court, it is still something i am trying to improve as much improvement on the courts, same with this kind of stuff. there are eight more games to come in the english fa cup on sunday, with premier league sides unscathed so far in the third round. could there be an upset across the coming hours? luton, holders manchester city, nottingham forest and west ham are all at home to lower league opposition, whilst west brom of the championship face non—league aldershot town. the pick of the games is at the emirates where arsenal take on liverpool. last time they faced each other was just before christmas in a 1—1 draw in the premier league, and both managers are expecting another close battle. it is special for me and i have so many memories of playing against them and that is because they are a top side, so it requires a big preparation and a lot of detail in everything that we have to do. that was proven again a week ago when we played them

at anfield, for both teams. we want to win these games, we want to go to the final, but we want to go to the next round as well, but it's probably the trickiest draw you can get and, yeah, it will be a tough one, but the game here was a good one and let's hope we can show a good performance there as well. golden state warriors forward draymond green has been reinstated following his suspension for striking phoenix suns center jusuf nurkic last month. green has missed 12 games and according to the nba has taken steps that demonstrate his "commitment to conforming his conduct to the standard expected" of players. golden state host the toronto raptors on sunday. while green is eligible to play he's expected to need time to work his way back into game shape. and that's all the sport for now.

the us aviation regulator has ordered the grounding of 171 boeing 737 max 9 aircraft after part of an alaska airlines plane's fuselage fell off on friday. it's expected to cause widespread disruption to flights in the us. no european airlines are thought to have the plane in their fleet. it comes after one of alaska airline's planes had to make an emergency landing on friday after losing part of its fuselage while in midflight. no—one was injured in the incident, and checks are being carried out of the boeing 737 max 9 aircraft by airlines across america. we looked at the election in bangladesh earlier in this bulletin — also happening in the country today, a large fire has broken out in a refugee camp in the southern coastal district of cox s bazar. it badly affected on of the 33 camps in cox s bazar. nearly 800 shelters are feared to have been destroyed. so far, there have been no

reports of casualties. shari nijman is the communication officer for the un's refugee agency and unhcr communication officer. shejoined me from cox's bazaar and i asked her to update us on the latest situation in the refugee camp. it is estimated that 800 shelters have been destroyed, 4,500 people displaced, thankfully no casualties on the ground, but obviously this many people displaced within the camp, it is getting cold, people need assistance and this is the situation on the ground. we have mentioned the other fires that have taken place over the past few days in bangladesh. do you think that is linked to what we have seen at cox's bazar? it doesn't seem that these fires are linked to each other. there are fires that happen in the camps and they don't seem to be linked to the rest of bangladesh.

and have there been similar fires before at cox's bazar? and if so, what is the preparedness like for being able to deal with them? fires like this unfortunately sometimes happen in the camps. in order to better equip the people on the ground to respond to these fires very quickly, humanitarian actors are training volunteers on the ground to respond very quickly to these fires. this is also what we saw last night when this fire broke out around one o'clock. rohingya refugee volunteers were first on the scene. they were responding and then later were aided by the authorities. and the actions that they took actually contained the fire to one side of the camp.

hollywood stars are gearing up for the golden globe awards this evening after a huge year for cinema which saw barbie and oppenheimer dominate the box office. emma vardy has been on the red carpet. hi, barbie. hi, ken. it was neverjust about a plastic doll. barbie, a satire on a female's role in society, became a sensation last summer... ..as audiences dressed in pink and headed to the cinema, making director greta gerwig the first female to make a $1 billion movie. i got those both ice cream. cool i don't know if we can be trusted. for best drama, oppenheimer, the three—hour epic about the american physicist who developed the atomic bomb, is battling it out against martin scorsese's killers of the flower moon. leonardo dicaprio is up for best actor, but it's his co—star, lily gladstone, who may become the first native american to win best actress. i didn't realise this was a race. he's on the floor, tom. explain to me what he's doing. and succession, the drama about a media dynasty is predicted to be the big winner in the tv categories. studios are hoping for a boost

from the awards, as the globes are the first major event since actors and writers strikes saw hollywood productions grind to a halt, costing the industry dearly. so there's a lot at stake. but the globes are also known as the biggest party in town. throughout the night, the champagne will be flowing, because this event has something of a reputation for being one of the most raucous of awards season. getting ahead is popular here because winning a golden globe can help influence the oscars in two months�* time. emma vardy, bbc news, beverly hills. stay with us here on bbc news. hello there. we�*ve had a rather cold and frosty start to sunday morning. temperatures down to minus five degrees in parts of northern england and southern scotland.

but for many of us, it�*s been a fine start with some clear skies, a bit of sunshine out there, but also one or two fog patches which may be slow to clear in parts of northern ireland and central scotland. but for the rest of today, for most of us, it�*s a case of sunny spells. now, the reason for the change in the weather from the recent stormy conditions is this big area of high pressure which becomes established across the uk today and indeed over the next few days. so it keeps things mostly dry. and i say "mostly" because there are one or two showers coming in across the north—east of england falling as snow or some wintriness over the higher ground, a few showers also in the south—east of england this afternoon. but elsewhere, dry with some sunny spells, maximum temperatures getting up to about two to six degrees celsius. but there could be some stubborn fog across some parts of scotland and northern ireland, which will reform again as we go through tonight. it�*s the northern half of the uk most at risk, but there could be one or two fog patches even further south. a few showers still coming in across eastern areas. but the main thing about tonight really is how cold it�*s going to be.

once again, temperatures widely below freezing, minus five celsius for northern parts of england and across scotland. we�*re beneath this area of high pressure where the cold air is sitting beneath that. and these white lines here across southern areas of england, indicative of some fairly brisk winds, which will bring in some wintry showers on monday morning. so if you�*re travelling, be aware of the fact that we could see some sleet and even some snow, even a hug over higher ground could be settling snow for a time on monday in the south east of england. there�*ll be a few showers coming in across the north—east of england. but on the whole, once again, it�*s going to be a dry day for most of us on monday. any mist and fog should tend to clear away. one or two may linger on into the afternoon. on the face of it, temperatures will be about three to five degrees celsius. but factor in that rather chilly east or north—easterly wind. it will feel more like freezing across many parts. and for the rest of the week, little change really. it�*s going to stay dry for most of us. there will be some sunny spells, but watch out for overnight frost

and some fog, especially during the mornings. and that�*s the outlook really you can see dry for most of us and temperatures at orjust below the average for the time of year. bye— bye.

this is bbc news. the headlines... the us secretary of state antony blinken is holding more talks
