donald trump presidential campaign rally from indiana he has cancelled three of four in person campaign events scheduled to stays before the iowa caucuses because of the extreme weather in the state. five people die after a boat sank as they tried to cross the channel from france. frederik the tenth is now the king of denmark, following the formal abdication of his mother, queen margrethe. tens of thousands of danes gathered in copenhagen to witness his historic succession. hello i'm azadeh moshiri, welcome to the programme. we begin with the latest from iceland. a volcanic eruption has begun near the fishing town of grindavik in the south—west of the country. these are the live pictures of the area — and while it is beginning to get dark there, you can still see

the smoke rising over the skyline. and these pictures from a little earlier today show some houses set on fire by the molten lava. now, remember this follows a similar eruption in the same area last month — but this time it's much closer to the town. people living in homes nearby have already left the area. the local authorities have declared an emergency. grindavik lies about a0 kilometres from iceland's capital, reykjavik. charlie rose has the latest on this for us. in the dark icelandic winter, liquid rock spews angrily into the night sky. residents here have been told to flee these apocalyptic scenes. as the fishing town of grindavik, their home, slowly becomes a living hell.

constructor workers building a protective barrier after the eruption last month just managed to save their trucks from this the right of onslaught. translation: we were just at home, and unlike before, we did _ what we were told this time. but i'm flabbergasted that an eruption is possible under the town. it's something i can't believe. with temperatures reaching up to 1,000 degrees celsius or more, this merciless lava is wiping out everything in its path. what is maybe more serious is the location. this is closer to grindavik and lava is flowing towards grindavik then that is a pretty serious situation. the authorities insist no lives are in danger, but experts say this eruption is unpredictable. iceland is proud of its 30 active volcanoes, the natural wonders attracting tourists

from far and wide. but residents are becoming increasingly concerned as this uninvited monster creeps into their homes. charlie rose, bbc news. let's go to israel — which is marking 100 days since the hamas attacks and the start of its war on gaza. the families of israeli hostages held in gaza, have taken part in a rally through the night, to demand their release. they were joined on saturday evening by tens of thousands of protesters, some of whom blamed the government of benjamin netanyahu for failing to prevent the hamas attacks on october the 7th. 1,200 israelis were brutally murdered by hamas gunmen during the attack, and 240 were taken hostage. and, right now, 130 of them are still being held captive. now inside gaza — more than 23,000 palestinians have been killed

since israel started air bombarments and ground invasion — most of the dead are women and children. 1.9 million palestinians are displaced. the head of the un's agency for palestinians has described the death and destruction inside gaza as, a stain on our shared humanity. let's listen to some of the displaced palestinians, who are now in rafah near the border with egypt, describing the last 100 days. translation: our morals have been shattered. - we have no hope of returning back to our homes and we are wondering how far they want to push us beyond this. there is no hope at all. i don't know how to tell you. we forgot everything that is good. we left our homes and the safety we once knew only to be displaced and no one seems to be paying attention. translation: after 100 days of living this hell we feel- like bodies without souls.

every moment and minute that passes we are in a war and there's nothing left in the countries, no schools, universities, health service, nothing. think about the future of all these children. how can they live after this? the problem is notjust the war itself, it is what happens after the war. the uk foreign secretary, says it was right to carry out air strikes on houthi targets in yemen, without consulting parliament. lord david cameron, said the move showed the government was willing to back words with action, after repeatedly warning the houthis, to stop attacking

merchant shipping in the red sea. meanwhile the labour leader, sir keir starmer, who supported the government's decision, has denied he's changed his stance on military interventions abroad. here's leila nathoo with more on this. britishjets took off late on thursday night to join us air strikes against houthi targets in yemen. the uk said the group had had warning after warning to stop their attacks on ships in the red sea, such as this one they filmed. the houthis have been targeting vessels for months that they say are linked to israel. today the foreign secretary david cameron insisted that the uk had no choice but to take military action to protect a critical global trade route. not acting is also a policy. it wasn't working and it's right we have sent this very clear, very unambiguous message that we are prepared to follow our words and warnings with action. lord cameron insisted the air strikes would not escalate tensions in the region and defended the decision not to seek parliamentary approval in advance. i don't think it would have been right to have a debate and a vote before this sort of action, because i think it is important, for reasons of operational security, to, on this occasion, take the action and then have a statement in parliament afterwards. the labour leader, sir keir starmer, was briefed by the government before the strikes went ahead, and supported them. he had previously promised to create

a new law requiring commons consent before military action could be taken — not inconsistent, he said, with his backing for action against the houthis. there will always be urgent situations where parliament can't be consulted before hand. but the principle that if there is to be a sustained campaign, if we are going to deploy our troops on the ground, that parliament should be informed, there should be a debate, the case should be made and there should be a vote, i do stand by that. there won't be a vote here tomorrow. rishi sunak will make a statement to the commons and take questions from mps. the government will be watching closely how the situation in the red sea develops and says it will consider any next steps carefully. 0pposition parties will want to hear ministers make that case. the questions now — do the houthi attacks continue? do the americans come knocking again? how involved will britain become? leila nathoo, bbc news, westminster.

staying with issues in the middle east. there is still plenty of support for israel. here in london's trafalgar square, thousands gathered for an israel solidarity event. and that's a day after a palestinian rally in the capital. 0rganisers say this �*stand with israel�* rally will be the largest pro—israel event in the uk. 0ur correspondent aruna iyengar is there and sent this report. thousands of people have been gathering here in trafalgar square to mark 100 days that the hostages have been held in gaza. many people spoke on stage today who were relatives of those being held and spoke about the grief they were feeling as a result of missing their loved ones in the conflict at the moment. people also who were speaking were lord pickles, who's the uk's special envoy for post—holocaust affairs.

he said the state of israel's struggle was a struggle for western civilisations as well. many people were worried about the plight of the hostages and feels that maybe their plight has been left off the agenda for the time being and wanted to bring their struggle and their waiting to international attention. the french coastguard says five people attempting to cross the channel in a small boat, died early on sunday morning. it's understood more than 70 people, including children, were on board, when it got into difficulty in french waters. dozens were rescued. ellie price, has the very latest. a rescue operation made more desperate in the darkness. in the early hours of this morning on this beach, around 70 people were trying to get into a small boat — that they'd been promised would bring them to the uk. when it overturned, dozens were rescued from the cold waters, but five died. speaking this morning on the bbc, the foreign secretary said the deaths were heartbreaking. you can only think about what an appalling end it would be in the cold waters of the channel

and in the middle of the night, it breaks my heart to hear about it. but itjust shows we've got to stop the boats, we've got to stop this illegal trade in human beings. the government says the solution is forcibly removing unauthorised arrivals and sending them to rwanda. there will be a crucial parliamentary vote on the plan later this week. but the labour leader said that isn't the answer. instead, he called for international cooperation to deal with the gang is organising the boats. i've done this before, i am convinced it can be done in relation to these gangs. that's where i will put my political muscle, if you like, rather than a gimmick which is the rwanda scheme. home office figures show that back in 2022, the number of illegal migrants crossing the channel on small boats had jumped up to over 45,000. the figures released earlier this month show that total number of people using this route across last year had fallen to just under 30,000 people. and that was a reduction by 36%.

although it's still the second highest annual number of crossings on record. it's hard to know how many migrants have died in recent years trying to cross the world's busiest shipping lane, but one charity said the figure was likely to be more than 20 last year alone. when you have people fleeing from their lives from afghanistan, from war—torn countries like syria then people are still going to take these dangerous journeys. and the enforcement activity by border force and police on the french side is simply going to force more people into more unseaworthy, unstable, dangerous boats and the likelihood of more people losing their lives, i think is not going to diminish. by this morning, you wouldn't know five people had died here overnight on this beach in calais. until this weekend there had been an nearly four—week period with no small boat crossings to the uk recorded, which the home office says is due to poor weather. but the fairer conditions and more small boats will no doubt come.

ellie price, bbc news. final polls ahead of caucuses in iowa that start tomorrow, show donald trump well ahead in the republican primary contest. the des moines register—nbc news poll released late on saturday gave trump 48%. while former south carolina governor haleyjumped to second place with 20%, pushing florida governor desantis to third place with 16%. donald trump is there holding a rally in iowa ahead of the caucuses tomorrow. nikki haley and ron desantis have continued campaigning despite the severe winter cold. we can speak now to stephen gruber—miller, statehouse

going to give him a good chance of victory at caucus night.— victory at caucus night. there are re orts victory at caucus night. there are reports that _ victory at caucus night. there are reports that donald _ victory at caucus night. there are reports that donald trump's - victory at caucus night. there are | reports that donald trump's team victory at caucus night. there are - reports that donald trump's team are nervous about the weather and there is so much expectation on him now, is so much expectation on him now, is there the chance that something could go wrong? this is there the chance that something could go wrong?— could go wrong? this is set to be the coldest _ could go wrong? this is set to be the coldest iowa _ could go wrong? this is set to be the coldest iowa caucus - could go wrong? this is set to be the coldest iowa caucus in - could go wrong? this is set to be. the coldest iowa caucus in history. we are in very cold, dangerously cold temperatures. iowans are used to getting cold like this occasionally but it is still a hindrance for people deciding to turn out on a monday night and actually get their car started and go to the event and perhaps stand in line in the cold to support a candidate. so it is going to come down to who is the most enthusiastic and willing to brave the cold to come out for their candidate. in iowa caucuses are relatively low turnout events so something like the weather could end up having a big impact. weather could end up having a big im act. ., weather could end up having a big imact. ., , ., , weather could end up having a big imact. ., i. , ., weather could end up having a big imact. ., , ., ., impact. could you tell us more about that because — impact. could you tell us more about that because it _ impact. could you tell us more about that because it is _ impact. could you tell us more about that because it is interesting, - impact. could you tell us more about that because it is interesting, in - that because it is interesting, in iowa we you do not turn up and just

up donald trump because that sets her up for a one—on—one contest in new hampshire where the two significant candidates. so that has been her strategy and we will see if she can pull that off. as for coming in first, i don't think she is expecting that. she has not been setting that expectation. she desperately wants to be the main alternative to the donald trump. it is interesting though, because in the sample we have just did, we found herfavorability the sample we have just did, we found her favorability numbers the sample we have just did, we found herfavorability numbers have fallen a lot in iowa and republicans it she's barely above water at 48% favourable 48% unfavorable —— 46% unfavorable as there is a good percent that don't necessarily like the mess that she is bringing. thank ou so the mess that she is bringing. thank you so much — the mess that she is bringing. thank you so much for— the mess that she is bringing. thank you so much for your _ the mess that she is bringing. thank you so much for your time _ the mess that she is bringing. thank you so much for your time and - the mess that she is bringing. thank you so much for your time and of. you so much for your time and of course please do keep watching bbc news and check our website because we will continue to bring you updates on the caucuses and tomorrow is the big day.

warfor100 days and in think that israel has fought in a war for 100 days and in those 100 think that israel has fought in a warfor100 days and in those 100 is the only people that came back apart from one, a live came through a political agreements we have to work through a negotiator, qatar, egyptand we have to work through a negotiator, qatar, egypt and all over the world to bring back another exchange of hostages. i don't think it should be military, i think it should be diplomatic and i think the price will be painful for us and that we will have to release all of the palestinian people held in our jails, including people that have blood on their hands. and in return we should ask for the return of all of our loved ones.— we should ask for the return of all of our loved ones. thank you so much for our of our loved ones. thank you so much for your time — of our loved ones. thank you so much for your time of— of our loved ones. thank you so much for your time of course _ of our loved ones. thank you so much for your time of course netanyahu's . for your time of course netanyahu's government saying that this cannot be done until hamas is eradicated and like you, a lot of families that

by the end of the night. it's very windy across the northern isles and wintry showers around coasts, but dry and clear through central areas, but a very cold night to come wherever you are. so for monday, then, it's a crisp, sunny start for many. and we hold on to the sunshine, i think for large parts of the country. wintry showers continuing to be draped around coastal areas, even running down through the irish sea, pembrokeshire, south—west england, but frequent and heavy snow showers leading to significant accumulations across northern scotland. 0n the face of it, temperatures just a few degrees above freezing. when you factor in the wind, it's going to feel subzero for most of us and bitterly cold across central, northern scotland. so, that's monday out of the way — tuesday we look to this feature, which will push in from the west. now, this could bring some disruptive snow, a bit more widespread to the northern half of the country. certainly through tuesday morning. there'll be a wintry mix of rain, sleet and snow for northern ireland. we could see some widespread snow across scotland, including the central belt, and it could come down quite thick and fast and also northern england, maybe north wales before it clears out

into the north sea. frequent snow showers again for the far north of scotland. a few wintry showers elsewhere. otherwise, it's mostly dry, sunny and cold for large parts of england and wales. and we also need to look at this area of low pressure which will move across france. some models want to bring it a little bit further northwards, which could bring some disruptive snow to southern england. at the moment, it looks like it'll be to the south of the channel. could see a little bit of snow perhaps for the channel islands, maybe south—east kent. but for most on wednesday, it's another dry cold, largely sunny one with snow showers mainly affecting northern scotland. and it stays cold for the end of the week as well. further snow showers across northern areas. i've got inverness on the chart there, very cold as well, but best of the sunshine will always be further south, despite the cold.
