than a year for covering the death of mahsa amini, which triggered nationwide protests. 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 volcano has erupted near the fishing town of grindavik in the south—west of the country. these are the live pictures of the area — and while it's now dark there, you can still see the lava glowing and 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 —
7:01 pm
but this time it's much closer to the town. people living in homes nearby have already left the area. and 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 eruption last month just managed to save their trucks from this fresh onslaught. translation: we were just at home, and unlike before, we did _
7:02 pm
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.

more on that corruption on her website so do check it out. 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 still 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 its air bombarments and ground invasion there — most of the dead are women and children. 1.9 million palestinians
7:04 pm
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.
7:05 pm
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. joining me now a jewish joining me now ajewish israeli the national organisations are and at the national co—director of standing to together. thank you both forjoining us especially today. i would like to start with you because arab israelis have had so many difficulties living in israel even before the war and so how has the war affected that situation? being a minority in a part of palestinian society in israel and
7:06 pm
palestinians in israel starting with a disadvantage with every time we have a _ a disadvantage with every time we have a war— a disadvantage with every time we have a war in gaza and israel in the 7th of— have a war in gaza and israel in the 7th of october was 90 different it was more — 7th of october was 90 different it was more extreme to palestinian citizens_ was more extreme to palestinian citizens in— was more extreme to palestinian citizens in israel because after the massacre — citizens in israel because after the massacre of hamas, immediately the israeli _ massacre of hamas, immediately the israeli government started bombing gaza and _ israeli government started bombing gaza and killing innocent people, children— gaza and killing innocent people, children and women. the first week it also— children and women. the first week it also started persecuting palestinian citizens inside of lsrael — palestinian citizens inside of israel. anyone who would say anything _ israel. anyone who would say anything about the pain in gaza or criticising — anything about the pain in gaza or criticising the politics of the government of our government and calling _ government of our government and calling for— government of our government and calling for a different course in speaking — calling for a different course in speaking about the ceasing fire and brin- speaking about the ceasing fire and bring back— speaking about the ceasing fire and bring back the hostages and discourse that speaks about negotiations and going to real actions — negotiations and going to real actions of stopping this war and talking — actions of stopping this war and talking about peace. palestinian and israeii _ talking about peace. palestinian and israeli peace so in times of war we

7:08 pm
different but what is one in the same for both jewish citizens different but what is one in the same for bothjewish citizens of israel and palestinian citizens of israel and palestinian citizens of israel is that we both have the government of netanyahu which is the most hawkish government in the israeli history and for the past three munch or pass 100 days we have been living a reality of war. that this government has tried to protract and aggravate and indeed we are seeing the horrific consequences of the actions of this war. her hood towards the palestinian civilian population in the gaza strip that is suffering displacement, suffering deaths of thousands of people including children, but we'll see the consequences of the actions of this government towards the public inside of israel. for example we have extremists in the israeli government that have launched a campaign against the palestinian minority inside of israel, instigating violence, driving towards a racist incitement towards
7:09 pm
the palestinian minority inside israel. this war will end it at the end we will have to live here together. jewish citizens of israel and palestinian citizens of israel but the actions of our government make it very hard for a peaceful solution to be met, therefore changes to be done on the ground. {iii changes to be done on the ground. of course the government is arguing that israelis people inside israel cannot be safe while hamas is still there. and that threat still exists. and again their wall had to come after the events of october the 7th. but i understand what you're saying in terms of the tensions that within israel in your organisation is either educating for tolerance between these communities within israel. so what challenges have you faced since october the 7th, 100 days now?— faced since october the 7th, 100 dasnow? ., ., , . . days now? you are very much correct that hamas — days now? you are very much correct that hamas is — days now? you are very much correct that hamas is an _ days now? you are very much correct that hamas is an enemy _ days now? you are very much correct that hamas is an enemy of israel- that hamas is an enemy of israel lien and palestinian peace and hamas
7:10 pm
wishes to undermine safety and security forjewish israelis. we find the middle image of these politics embodied in the politics of the current israeli government that tries to undermine safety and security of the palestinians. not for hamas organisation or hamas militants only common but for the palestinian people in total. we have heard statements by leading politicians in israel, high raking ministers and government officials that spoke out against the civilian population in total. we heard our minister of defence saying when he justified the tightening of the seas on gaza and cutting electricity and water to 2.2 million palestinians, he said we are dealing with human animals and we shall treat them as such. . ., , such. some officials within the israeli government _ such. some officials within the israeli government have - such. some officials within the i israeli government have actually called out those words and not all ministers support those words. because as you say, those are extreme words to use. a question for
7:11 pm
you after what has been just the scribes and the israeli government insisting they are both acting within the bounds of international humanitarian law, but that does not change the fact that of course, there are these tensions that the two of you are living through in israel. do you imagine a future where palestinians in israel, arab israelis, are not living in predominantly arab towns and cities within israel that actually we will start to see a real mix? i within israel that actually we will start to see a real mix?- start to see a real mix? i would love to imagine _ start to see a real mix? i would love to imagine a _ start to see a real mix? i would love to imagine a future - start to see a real mix? i would love to imagine a future where l start to see a real mix? i would i love to imagine a future where all citizens _ love to imagine a future where all citizens of— love to imagine a future where all citizens of israel can be equal. but i citizens of israel can be equal. but iwouid _ citizens of israel can be equal. but i would love to imagine a future where _ i would love to imagine a future where both people who live in this land that— where both people who live in this land that we call israel and palestine are free, are independent and have _ palestine are free, are independent and have the same rights as one another— and have the same rights as one another and have the same liberation. and that is all the same

7:14 pm
showed the government was willing to back words with action, after repeatedly warning the houthis, to stop attacking merchant shipping in the red sea. 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,
7:15 pm
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
7:16 pm
will consider any next steps carefully. opposition 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. some breaking news now from the metropolitan police who say detectives investigating a plot to disrupt the london stock exchange have arrested six people. the investigation began after information was passed to the met by the daily express on friday. it was alleged that activists from the palestine action group were intending to target the london stock exchange on monday morning. that's what metropolitan police information is suggesting. a statement from one official who was saying this is a significant arrest and we believe this group is ready to carry out a disruptive and damaging stunt which could have had
7:17 pm
serious implications, had it been carried out successfully. there is more information on our website and of course we will keep bringing you more updates as they come in. let's move on to the united states as it is an election year. 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 nikki haleyjumped to second place with 20%, pushing florida governor desantis to third place with 16%. in the past hour, donald trump has held a rally in iowa, ahead of tomorrow's caucuses. haley and desantis meanwhile have continued campaigning despite severe winter cold. all candidates have had to cancel several events in the last few days.

7:26 pm
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. on 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
7:27 pm
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.
