a deadly blast hits a market in eastern ukraine. at least 25 people have been killed. almost 5000 people killed in gaza since the beginning of the war. widespread weather warnings in place across the uk. storm isha is forecast to bring rain and winds of up forecast to bring rain and winds of up to 80 miles an hour. dozens of people are said to have been killed when a market and shopping district in the russian—occupied city of donetsk in eastern ukraine was hit by shelling. proxy officials there blamed ukraine, saying at least 25 people died and least 20 others were injured in the attack. graphic video from the scene shows many dead bodies in the street as well as shattered shop fronts and stalls and damaged cars.

russia's foreign ministry called it a "barbaric terrorist act", accusing the west of complicity. the ukraine government has not yet commented. meanwhile official sources in kyiv have confirmed to the bbc that the explosion at an oil terminal outside st petersburg was a "special operation" of the ukrainian security service. they said the sbu used drones to start a major fire at the baltic terminal in ust—luga, west of russia's second city. the ukrainians say fuel processed at the plant was being used to supply russian troops in ukraine and that this strike significantly complicates logistics for the military. they also describe the attack as an economic blow to russia, which exports fuel from the terminal. let's bring in danny aeberhard, the bbc world service's europe editor. if you can start with that attack in donetsk. what more can you tell us about that? we donetsk. what more can you tell us about that?—

about that? we had reports of this, initially they _ about that? we had reports of this, initially they were _ about that? we had reports of this, initially they were talking _ about that? we had reports of this, initially they were talking about - initially they were talking about eight dead. they have since moved the number of dead 225 with at least 20 injured. -- 25. that —— 25. that is an area close to the front lines and the city itself is surrounded by areas some of the most fiercely fought over of the whole front line. it is a very hot area. the local officials, proxy rush and appointed officials and the russian foreign ministry have reacted with horror at the attack. the russian foreign ministry said it was a barbaric terrorist act and it has accused the west of complicity. what accused the west of complicity. what about ukraine? _ accused the west of complicity. what about ukraine? what _ accused the west of complicity. what about ukraine? what has ukraine said about ukraine? what has ukraine said about it, if anything? i don't know

if you can hear me. i am asking whether ukraine had commented at all about it? i think we may have lost contact to the newsroom. we will try and get him back make contact again and get him back make contact again and bring you more on that when we get it. almost all the uk is under major weather warnings as a powerful storm begins hitting the country. storm isha is expected to batter the uk with strong winds and rain. gusts of up to 80 mph are expected, and nearly four inches of rain could fall in a matter of hours. nine flood warnings are already in place across england. i'm joined by bbc weather presenter chris fawkes. this is unusual because the whole of the uk is effected at once by some anywhere that warnings. it is actually. _ anywhere that warnings. it is actually. the _ anywhere that warnings. it 3 actually, the widespread nature makes an unusual but the strength of the storm, it is properly going to

be one of the stronger storms we have seen in the whole of the season so it does mean business. let's take a look at what is coming our way. and really some of the strongest winds that we are going to get from this will bring some significant damage. we are looking at the risk of disruption, not only to transport but power networks are likely to be damaged by some of these very strong winds that could reach 90 odd miles an hour in the worst affected areas. let's take a look at some of the systems we have got coming in. this lump of cloud, specifically out to the west of the republic of ireland is the cloud they are dripping down, it is that bit that has the very most dangerous winds in the system. we are likely to see gusts reaching 90 odd miles an hour. the forecast is over in ireland and the met office there have issued red weather office there have issued red weather warnings for north—western counties of the republic. for us in the uk it

will bring different winds for different areas but there is nowhere thatis different areas but there is nowhere that is immune from seeing trees toppled down, that could happenjust about anywhere overnight tonight, so the risk of disruption is pretty widespread. 60—70 miles an hour gusts seem likely across large areas but for west wales, stronger than that. it is gusting 72 miles an hour right now in snowdonia and the system is nowhere near us yet. tonight is going to be the worst? this evening, overnight and into the early hours of monday morning. in snowdonia i wouldn't even be surprised if it got close to 100 miles an hour from the system. when is this ferocious, you're notjust talking about trees getting pulled down, you could get structural damage to buildings and we may see some of the strong winds affect northern england as well. but there is worse. the zone of really strong winds will be going further north. i talked about the republic of ireland having read by that warnings. in northern ireland, there is a big

gradient in winds. 60—70 mile an hour, we will get that for sure but there was strong winds from that hook could actually come into the northern counties of northern ireland and if that happens, gusts could reach 80 or even 90 miles an hour, really serious stuff. and then they really strong winds track at they really strong winds track at the western and northern side of scotland where we could get some guests of at — 90 miles an hour. hour guests of at - 90 miles an hour. how lona is it guests of at - 90 miles an hour. how long is it exoected — guests of at — 90 miles an hour. how long is it expected to last? guests of at - 90 miles an hour. how long is it expected to last? the - long is it expected to last? the eak long is it expected to last? the peak winds _ long is it expected to last? the peak winds will _ long is it expected to last? tia: peak winds will last two long is it expected to last? ti2 peak winds will last two or three hours, for the central lowlands of scotland it is specifically as you get westerly wind which isn't going to be for that long. the winds will start off in the south—west, prefigure westerly bringing some strong winds and want to go to a north—westerly, the scottish mountains will give them a bit of shelter. we are going to see different timings of when the fiercest winds come through from the same weather system. what fiercest winds come through from the same weather system.— same weather system. what is the difference between _ same weather system. what is the difference between the _ same weather system. what is the difference between the different i difference between the different coloured warnings?—

difference between the different coloured warnings? oliver warnings in the uk are _ coloured warnings? oliver warnings in the uk are based _ coloured warnings? oliver warnings in the uk are based on _ coloured warnings? oliver warnings in the uk are based on two - coloured warnings? oliver warnings in the uk are based on two things, | in the uk are based on two things, the expected impact of the weather and the expected impact are the highest impacts we expect from any storm system, the other thing that determines weather warnings is the likelihood of it happening, how confident we are. i mentioned in northern ireland, we may see some stronger winds across northern counties, right now we do not know. if we knew that the winds were gusting 80—90 miles an hour, that would probably require a red warning as well. it is that lack of confidence. but the impact, this is a major storm, confidence. but the impact, this is a majorstorm, public confidence. but the impact, this is a major storm, public the west we have seen this season. the impacts will be widespread and disruptions to transport and power is expected. thank you for talking us through all of that. the hamas authorities in gaza say the israeli offensive has now claimed more than 25,000 lives. bombardment of the territory has continued, and israel says it's killed more than 15 hamas fighters

in its latest operations across gaza. the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has again rejected the idea of creating a palestinian state, in defiance of washington's stance. with the latest, here's mark lowen from jerusalem. lives on a list that grows by the day. an overnight air strike adding them to a new milestone — more than 25,000 killed in gaza since israel's offensive began, says hamas. numbers out of date by the hour. israel's focus is now southern gaza, pounded from the air, backed by naval strikes. but there have been clashes in the north too. israel's army, vastly superior to hamas, is still facing significant resistance across the territory. the israeli defence forces released pictures of a new tunnel they say they found, booby—trapped and more than 800m long and, they say, it's likely to have held

israeli hostages. translation: in the tunnel, we found five cells, _ each had a toilet and a mattress, enclosed by metal bars. according to testimonies we have, about 20 hostages were held in this tunnel at different times, in difficult conditions — without daylight, with stuffy air, very little oxygen and terrible humidity that makes it difficult to breathe. but more than three months in, israel still hasn't destroyed hamas or got the remaining hostages home, and splits are growing here. anti—war protesters, still few, scuffled with police. most israelis have rallied around their flag but not their prime minister, and his continued opposition to a palestinian state is angering allies. i think it is very disappointing that benjamin netanyahu has said that. it is not in some sense a surprise.

he has spent his entire political career against a two—state solution. but the point is, which other routes is there to seriously resolve this? for now, every route is lined with suffering on both sides. for children, wracked with fever but unable to get medicine as gaza's hospitals run desperately short, and a lack of clean water makes disease rife. doctors resort to weak syrup to treat the young, often orphaned. but it does little to dull the pain of gaza's war. and mark lowen gave us his analysis of benjamin netanyahu's comments. well, benjamin netanyahu hopes that his long—standing opposition to a palestinian state chimes with the majority of public opinion at the moment, that is still too traumatised to countenance an independent palestine over those attacks on 7th october and of course he's also fighting for his political survival

to some extent, with diminishing popularity here, and relying on support from the far right within his cabinet, two ministers from the far right threatening to topple the government unless israel pursues its war. and of course they are very much aligned with him on the anti—palestinian statehood position. but i think that there is growing exasperation, clearly, from western allies at the moment, and the fact that benjamin netanyahu keeps repeating this publicly in a sort of pretty clear rebuttal to israel's western allies at the moment who are pressuring him to sort of ease off on the offensive and engage in meaningful diplomacy, thatjust shows the widening chasm that there is now between the netanyahu government and israel's western allies, and that chasm is clearly likely to continue as mr netanyahu fights for his political survival. there are reports coming out from us intelligence quoted in some media saying that the us now believes that israel has only achieved 20% to 30% of its war aims so far,

more than three months on since the beginning of this offensive and that of course no senior, very top hamas official has been killed yet or captured. and all of that is beginning to feed a growing frustration and unease here in israel that the offensive is not going to plan, and of course at the same time there are still about 130 hostages that have not come back here and it is unknown how many of those have died. we speak now to dr deborah harrington, who hasjust returned from two weeks volunteering at the al—aqsa martyrs hospital in central gaza. thank you for talking to us today. are you able to tell us what you were doing, meant to be doing? i was art of an were doing, meant to be doing? i was part of an emergency _ were doing, meant to be doing? tina; part of an emergency medical team that was coordinated by the medical aid to palestine and the international rescue committee, and

we were doctors that were working alongside our colleagues in the hospital, some of whom i've known from previous visits, to help with the staggering humanitarian catastrophe that is happening in gaza at the moment, and the state and suffering of people in the hospitals in gaza. can and suffering of people in the hospitals in gaza.— and suffering of people in the hospitals in gaza. can you tell us about the sort _ hospitals in gaza. can you tell us about the sort of— hospitals in gaza. can you tell us about the sort of things - hospitals in gaza. can you tell us about the sort of things you - hospitals in gaza. can you tell us about the sort of things you are l about the sort of things you are having to deal with? you are really a specialist in maternal and fatal medicine, but i presume you had to deal with whatever turned up. absolutely. as the maternity care, because of the overwhelming numbers of trauma cases coming in, it has actually been moved out from hospitals to ever less and less facilities, which in itself is a humanitarian crisis. what i was seen most of the time, i did see the

woman that came in there, but i was seeing huge numbers of casualties and overwhelmingly children coming in through the emergency department. i also worked a little bit on the wards and also in the operating theatres. just the sheer scale is overwhelming the hospitals, and this hospital was the main hospital in the middle area until the last two days when we were actually forced to leave because of the escalating security situation around the hospital, because of the conflict around the neighbourhoods surrounding the hospital. to talk about the facilities _ surrounding the hospital. to talk about the facilities in _ surrounding the hospital. to talk about the facilities in and - surrounding the hospital. to talk about the facilities in and the - about the facilities in and the medicine, we have been hearing so much about how little there is for you to work with. what were you using to treat all of these children

you are encountering? there is very limited supplies and one of the things, even if you cannot supply anything else, you can supply pain relief, and i am sad to say that actually there was some morphine not available on every day we were working in the emergency department, so that giving somebody in working in the emergency department, so that giving somebody— so that giving somebody in their sufferin: , so that giving somebody in their suffering, from _ so that giving somebody in their suffering, from horrific- so that giving somebody in their suffering, from horrific burns, i suffering, from horrific burns, amputations, open chest wounds, shrapnel injuries, you couldn't even comfort them in taking away their pain. there was a limited supply of anything, at one stage we ran out of gauze, and we saw injuries from blast injuries, gunshot wounds, burns and wasn't even, at times, as basic things as gauze. every single thing was limited. we were at

managing patients on the floor of the recess room, and tubing reaching small children on the floor of a recess room wasn't possible. i cannot describe the failure, the staggering failure of humanity that is happening. it staggering failure of humanity that is happening-— is happening. it must be very hard to leave. is happening. it must be very hard to leave- it — is happening. it must be very hard to leave. it must _ is happening. it must be very hard to leave. it must been _ is happening. it must be very hard to leave. it must been a _ is happening. it must be very hard to leave. it must been a strange i to leave. it must been a strange feeling to leave knowing that you help so desperately needed. we are left with very _ help so desperately needed. we are left with very mixed _ help so desperately needed. we are left with very mixed emotions. - help so desperately needed. we are left with very mixed emotions. of i left with very mixed emotions. of course we wanted to get back to our families, especially at the time of year, but i didn't want to leave my colleagues. i didn't want to leave the patients that were suffering. it was a very, very difficult to leave me dead. i was a very, very difficult to leave me dead. ., ., ~ ., was a very, very difficult to leave me dead. ., ., 4' ., ,., was a very, very difficult to leave me dead. ., ., ~ ., me dead. i do not know if you can answer this _ me dead. i do not know if you can answer this but _ me dead. i do not know if you can answer this but so _ me dead. i do not know if you can answer this but so many - me dead. i do not know if you can answer this but so many of- me dead. i do not know if you can answer this but so many of the i answer this but so many of the children that were coming to you would have lost their parents or the people that looked after them. what

kansas seasonal limit, but those children desperately need care. it is brilliant people out there are going and doing what they can. i appreciate your time. you are watching bbc news. now it's time for a look at today's sport. it would appear novak djokovic is reaching top gear at the australian open. the number one seed and defending champion dropped just three games as he thrashed frenchman adrian mannarino to make the quarter finals in melbourne. the world number one is chasing an 11th austrlaian open title, which would also take him clear of margaret court's all—time record number of 2a grand slam victories, but started the tournament battling illness following two tough matches, and only gave up those games in the third set, winning 6—0, 6—0, 6—3. djokovic is through to a record—equalling 58th grand slam quarterfinal.

i always look for the best performance for myself, so i put a lot of effort every single day into making it happen, and when it doesn't happen, i'm frustrated. so it is still there, the fire is still burning, and i think that is what allowed me to be where i am and achieve the things that i have achieved. djokovic will face taylor fritz in the last eight, with the american beating last year's finalist stefanos tsitsipas to reach his first australian open quarterfinal. djokovic has won all eight of their previous matches, including a straight—sets victory at the same stage in last year's us open. coco gauff says she often forgets she's still a teenager, after becoming the youngest woman to reach the australian open singles quarterfinals since 2008. the 19—year—old american booked her spot in the last eight by sweeping past poland's magdalena frech in straight sets. now in herfinal major

tournament as a teenager, she is the second favourite to win behind second seed aryna sabalenka. and gauff remains on course to play defending champion sabalenka in the final after she comfortably beat amanda anisimova in straight sets, adding another dominant performance to her list this week. up next for her is ninth seed barbora krejcikova after she ended 16—year—old mirra andreeva's run. liverpool can extend their lead at the top of the english premier league later when they travel to bournemouth. a win would take them five points clear. while the early game features bottom side sheffield united and west ham. it's still 0—0 there. you can follow both of those games on the bbc sport website. morocco can take a big step towards the quarterfinals of the africa cup of nations with a win in their second group game in ivory coast. the world cup semifinalists are playing dr congo having won their opening match in group f. they lead 1—0, achraf hakimi scoring afterjust six minutes. the other game in that group features tanzania, who suspended their manager following their defeat to morocco. they play tanzania.

—— they play a little bit later on against zambia. fifa president gianni infantino has called for the implementation of an automatic forfeit of games for teams whose fans commit racist abuse. it follows incidents which he described as "totally abhorrent" at udinese and sheffield wednesday on saturday. ac milan's win in udine was briefly suspended after alleged racist abuse from home fans towards milan goalkeeper mike maignan. coventry city's kasey palmer said he received similar abuse at hillsborough in a match in england's championship milan keeper maignan has released a statement on social media, in which he says it isn't the first time it has happened to him and he isn't the first to receive such abuse. he is calling for the "entire system" to take responsbility. maignan also thanked his club ac milan and the udinese players for their support. england batter harry brook is returning home from the team's preparations for their test tour of india due to personal reasons. brook has been with the squad in dubai and his family

from immigrant backgrounds. live now to our correspondent damien mcguinness in berlin. can you explain a little bit more about those mass deportations plans that i mentioned there? it about those mass deportations plans that i mentioned there?— that i mentioned there? it was sarked that i mentioned there? it was sparked off — that i mentioned there? it was sparked off by _ that i mentioned there? it was sparked off by reports - that i mentioned there? it was sparked off by reports about . that i mentioned there? it was i sparked off by reports about ten days ago in which there was a supposed secret meeting in a villa near berlin and at that meeting right—wing activists and far right politicians gathered to discuss what they described as a master plan in order to deport millions of people with so—called non—german backgrounds. this has sparked an outrage across germany because of course many people do this as outrageous, and what we have seen over the past week, on a daily basis, intensities across the country, large protests. in small towns a couple thousand people is, in cities tens of thousands of

people. on friday in hamburg 80,000 people. on friday in hamburg 80,000 people gathered in the process had to be shut down because it was so big. we are seeing a huge debate across germany. 0n the one hand, a rise in popularity for the eft, it is still falling above 20%. but there is good to be a large protest this afternoon, to say they are not going to put up with a party which is accused of being racist and xenophobic and being investigated by intelligence services. we have seen this real division in germany between the more liberal society of a more diverse country, and on the other hand a great popularity for the far—right party at the asd. there is a debate and called for the party to be banned. is that realistic? what we have seen over the past few years, this is a big debate that has been growing, this whole row over the past week is just furthering that debate because on

hello. storm isha looks to be one of the strongest storms we've seen this �*23—�*2li season. there are widespread amber weather warnings covering the vast majority of the land across the uk. damaging winds are on the way, disruption is expected. storm isha, then, is this area of cloud you can see racing into our shores — it is continuing to strengthen, too. the strongest winds are found just on this hook of cloud you can see here, and within that zone, the winds are likely to gust to 90—oddmph. through the rest of this afternoon the winds will be picking up and we will see outbreaks of rain moving in widely, the rain combining with some snowmelt in scotland, given these temperatures, and so we are seeing a number of flood warnings increase in scotland and across england as well. it's during this evening, sunday night, and into the early part of monday, that we will see those damaging gusts of wind work in, 60—70mph gusts quite widely across england and wales but it could reach 80mph across parts of northern and western wales, so there will be some trees down from that and some disruption but the strongest winds are further north, 60—70 in northern ireland,

the core of the strongest winds could affect the north of the northern ireland, 80—90 not out of the question here, similar, 80—90mph gusts are possible in northern and western scotland but there will be some impacts elsewhere. so, it's a case of may be some power networks getting damaged, power cuts possible, certainly there will be some transport disruption and the impacts from this storm will still be being felt into monday, although it will stay blustery all day, the peak winds will be coming down, it will be a day of sunshine and some heavy showers, some of them thundery, a bit of snow over the scottish mountains, a coolerfeel to the weather, across northern areas, 7—8, 9—11 further south. we get rid of storm isha, but it will be followed up by another deep area of low pressure for tuesday, again bringing a zone of heavy rain and some strong winds. across the northern half of the country gusts could reach 60—70mph but it is the rain which is probably cause for more concern and we will probably see some further flooding issues building in. the bulk of the rain clears through later in the day

followed by blustery showers. temperatures about 9—11 in the south, about seven further north. we get a ridge of high pressure then building in for wednesday, which will be a quieter, calmer day, staying dry with some sunshine for many of us, a bit of drizzle comes in for thursday, and then for friday, again, we're back to brighter weather.
