you're live with bbc news. let's turn to israel now, where anger and division over the war in gaza have spilled over into the country's parliament, the knesset. earlier on monday, families of some israeli hostages broke through security and stormed a finance meeting. here you can see the demonstrators disrupting the meeting of the finance committee. they were protesting that the committee was deliberating, while their children were still being held in captivity. shouting "shame on you" — the families called for the government to do more, to secure the release of their loved ones. the protest highlights growing domestic dissent in israel, about the war with hamas — a designated terrorists organisation in the us, uk and many other countries that's now in its fourth month. it comes as palestinians in southern gaza say, the israeli bombardment is the most intense they've experienced, since the war began. earlier, i spoke to gil

7:26 pm
storm isha on sunday night brought us plenty of disruption, damaging gusts of wind, gusts of wind in northumberland of 99 mph and widely across the central belt of scotland, we saw gusts of 70—80 mph. even towards the south of england, 0diham and hampshire, east malling and kent saw 70 mph gusts. now, the winds have been easing down today, a day of blustery showers and some sunshine, but it's not long before the next named storm rolls in from the west. that is storm jocelyn, the tenth named storm of the season, again, damaging gusts of wind with already trees and structures weakened by isha. there could possibly be some more disruption. but overnight tonight, it's a fairly quiet night of weather. there will be a lot of clear skies around, they will last longer out towards the east where it's going to feel locally quite chilly
7:27 pm
into tomorrow morning. temperatures rising along with this milder air, pushing outbreaks of rain into south west england, wales and northern ireland, by the time we get to dawn, thickening cloud here. and there's that deep area of low pressure, storm jocelyn passing to the north of scotland, taking the same sort of track as storm isha. so again, we could see some damage and some disruption with the worst of the winds on tuesday night. but through tuesday morning, it's a dry early start. towards the east, there'll be heavy rain piling into north west england and through western scotland. the rainfall totals will start to mount up here. there could possibly be some localised flooding. strong gusty winds, particularly towards irish sea coast, a gust of wind here of up to 65 mph. very mild air tied in with this storm. but the area of most concern is northern and western parts of scotland where there's an amber weather warning in force for tuesday night right up until wednesday morning. we could possibly see within the warning area gusts of 75—80 mph, yet again. still blustery on wednesday, the storm clears away into the norwegian sea and we'll see a quieter day of weather on wednesday.
7:28 pm
the winds taking their time to ease down towards the north and the west. and here there will be some blustery showers, again moving southwards and eastwards. the further south and east you are, the drier your day is likely to be. there'll be some spells of sunshine, feeling a little cooler again with highs of 7—12 degrees celsius. we look out towards the west again on thursday to find more weather fronts sweeping eastwards, bringing, again, some outbreaks of rain, but not as potent as either of the storms. bye bye.
