potentially playing in the nfl, he has always been a huge fan and he feels if he doesn't take the opportunity now, then it might not happen for him in the future. i wish him all the best. i will always be a great believer in players taking the opportunities that get presented. and that's all the sport for now. this the israeli military says its troops have killed dozens of hamas militants around the town of beit lahia in northern gaza. the idf said it had uncovered about 100 rocket launchers. yesterday, the un chief, antonio guterres, again called for the fighting to stop, saying an immediate ceasefire was necessary to secure the release of hostages in gaza and increase aid entering the enclave. israel has dropped leaflets near rafah, in the south of gaza, warning residents there — to move to safer areas, and to leave what it described as "a dangerous fighting zone."

but the idf has said its operations against hamas in southern gaza, will soon enter a less intensive phase. this morning, the army said a barrage of 50 rockets was fired into southern israel, without causing any casualties. hamas�*s armed wing claimed responsibility for the attack. the hamas health ministry in gaza has reported, the death toll in the territory has gone past 2a,000. 0ur correspondent injerusalem, yolande knell, sent us this update. we're continuing to see more than 100 people killed each day, and many children among the dead. people saying that, particularly in the south of the gaza strip, there have been intense israeli air strikes and shelling by israeli tanks. they also say there is this kind of close quarters fighting going on between israeli soldiers and, it seems, hamas fighters, particularly in khan younis. that's where the israeli military believes that hamas leaders may still be hiding, that many of the israeli hostages still held in gaza could be kept. but that said, you know,

we've had the israeli defence minister indicating that this is part of a longer term strategy, one which they have supposedly agreed with the americans to enter into a less intense stage of fighting. he said that that already happened in the north of the gaza strip and that there they're just going round now with many soldiers pulled out of gaza, targeting certain areas. we had the israeli military this morning saying that it had found about 100 rocket launchers and 60 rockets and that had killed, it said, dozens of palestinian armed fighters in the north in this area around beit lahia town, and in the south of the gaza strip, the defence minister indicating that there will be a less intense stage of fighting that is reached sometime soon. the weekend marked 100 days in captivity for those taken hostage in israel by hamas. more than 130 are still held there.

what we last know of nadav. a difficult question to ask about how traumatic was it hearing the news yesterday with hamas putting out the video, the purported death of two of the hostages? they flagged that they would give an update. how traumatic was that? i would give an update. how traumatic was that? ., , ~ ., was that? i was shocked and appalled- — was that? i was shocked and appalled- by _ was that? i was shocked and appalled. by hamas - was that? i was shocked and l appalled. by hamas portraying was that? i was shocked and - appalled. by hamas portraying it as if it was a game. these are the lives of people, these are our loved ones. these are people who are being held against their will for over a hundred days and they posted it as if it was some kind of a game. who does that? i was shocked, absolutely shocked. bud does that? i was shocked, absolutely shocked. �* ., does that? iwas shocked, absolutely shocked. �* ., , , shocked. and of course it is described — shocked. and of course it is described as _ shocked. and of course it is described as psychological. shocked. and of course it is - described as psychological torture by the defence minister. find described as psychological torture by the defence minister.— described as psychological torture by the defence minister. and it is. eve da by the defence minister. and it is. every day is _ by the defence minister. and it is. every day is torture _ by the defence minister. and it is. every day is torture for— by the defence minister. and it is. every day is torture for us. - by the defence minister. and it is.

tell you about those days in captivity and how she now? she is slowly recovering. _ captivity and how she now? she is slowly recovering. she _ captivity and how she now? she is slowly recovering. she is - captivity and how she now? she is slowly recovering. she is staying i slowly recovering. she is staying with us at our house. physically she is getting stronger, we can help her on that end, and emotionally it is very difficult for her. the main concern of course is nadav and she did tell us about the time she stayed in the tunnels. not much of that we can share. but we can all imagine that being held against your will for 49 days and for others it is over a hundred days, your life in the hands of others who decide whether you live or die, we can all imagine how difficult and frightening that must be. so physically we can help her. emotionally, we are alljust worried for my brother and the other 136

concern is nadav and the other hostages and we will get to that when the other hostages are back and we can grieve our losses. bill when the other hostages are back and we can grieve our losses.— we can grieve our losses. all the while, the _ we can grieve our losses. all the while, the conflict _ we can grieve our losses. all the while, the conflict continues. - we can grieve our losses. all the| while, the conflict continues. the prime minister benjamin netanyahu has consistently said in recent weeks that maximum force is the best way to get the return of more hostages. is that something that you are comfortable with? as you see what is actually happening on the ground in gaza. i what is actually happening on the ground in gaza.— ground in gaza. i mainly feel helpless- — ground in gaza. i mainly feel helpless. i'm _ ground in gaza. i mainly feel helpless. i'm not _ ground in gaza. i mainly feel helpless. i'm not a - ground in gaza. i mainly feel helpless. i'm not a politicianj ground in gaza. i mainly feel- helpless. i'm not a politician and i'm not a general. i am in no position to give any advice to anyone. i'mjust position to give any advice to anyone. i'm just a family member loved one is being held, many others, and...— others, and... you must be terrifying — others, and... you must be terrifying to _ others, and... you must be terrifying to see _ others, and... you must be terrifying to see that - others, and... you must be terrifying to see that level. others, and... you must be| terrifying to see that level of bombardment. did your mother talk about how close it was to her? i don't think she knows to say exactly

pictures and comment and all the very latest. we will take a short break. stay with us here on bbc news. hello there. it's a very cold day, wherever you are, but plenty of crisp winter sunshine across the southern half of the country. further north, we've got a couple of weather fronts bringing a mix of rain, sleet and snow. we could see some disruptive snow across parts of scotland later in the day. now, here's the culprit. these weather fronts moving in from the northwest, bringing that mixture of rain, sleet and snow, some slightly less cold air moving in behind it. so i think across northern ireland, it's mostly reverting back to rain and rain to lower levels of northern england after some early snow. looks like the snow will be confined to the pennines there and this band of snow will start to sink southwards across scotland, eventually reaching the central belt. as you move towards

the evening rush hour. a very cold day to come wherever you are. significantly cold, though, across scotland where we'll continue with the risk of ice, so that snow across northern scotland sinks southwards, could bring some disruption to the central belt in southern scotland later in the day. and the band continues to fizzle out as it moves southwards over england and wales, no more than a line of cloud with just a few snow flurries on it. but another very cold night to come for all areas, but especially so across the northern half of the country with a significant risk of ice. so for wednesday, snow showers continue across northern areas. a lot of sunshine elsewhere. this feature looks like it's going to stay across the channel into france, maybejust grazing the south coast, some high cloud, maybe the odd wintry flurry for the south west of england. but most places dry, sunny, sunny, but very cold. frequent snow showers, northern scotland, a few into northern ireland, maybe into north west england, around some irish sea coast. snowfall amounts really starting to accumulate now across northern scotland and a very cold day to come

wherever you are. particularly factoring in the strong wind across northern scotland thursday. similar story, very cold start. plenty of dry and sunny weather around with snow showers draped around coastal areas, particularly northern scotland in towards northern ireland, perhaps north west england and a very cold afternoon, 1 to 3 or four degrees. but it will feel cold like that when you add on the northerly breeze. high pressure brings some fine weather to end the week. further snow likely across scotland and then low pressure takes over as we head into the weekend, bringing strong and gusty south westerly winds, in fact, turning wet and windy through the weekend. into the start of next week, you'll notice the temperatures climbing. it will become a lot milder.

live from london. this is bbc news. the united states says it's seized iranian weapons, which were destined for houthis in yemen — it comes as another cargo ship has reportedly been hit. here in the uk... the boss of fujitsu apologises and says the company must help compensate post office staff who were wrongly prosecuted because of its faulty it software we did have bugs and errors in the system and we did help the post office in the prosecutions of the supposed masters. for that we are truly sorry. donald trump wins the iowa caucus by a landslide — cementing his place at the front of the republican presidential race.
