you're live with bbc news. it's been the deadliest day for israeli forces since the start of their ground operation in gaza. funerals are now taking place for some of the 2a soldiers killed on monday. it all happened in a single incident — troops were inside two buildings ready for demolition, which were hit by a rocket—propelled grenade. despite the losses, the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu said that israel will push on with the fighting in gaza until "absolute victory". translation: yesterday l was one of the hardest days since the war broke out. we lost 2a of our best sons. the heroes were felled defending the homeland. together with the citizens of israel, i grieve for each and every one of them. i hug the families whose world has changed forever. from here, we send a prayer for the wounded to find peace. the idf is conducting

a thorough examination of the disaster. we must learn the lessons and do everything for our soldiers. there's increasing pressure — internationally and from within israel — for the fighting to stop, to secure the release of the remaining 130 hostages held by hamas, and to allow in more humanitarian aid. in this video from the israeli defence forces, you can see strikes on hamas targets in southern gaza. the israeli military says that its forces have completed the encirclement of the city of khan younis, which has been the focus of intense fighting in recent days. this is the scene, looking across at gaza from southern israel. the hamas—run health ministry in gaza says more than 350 people were wounded and at least 195 palestinians have been killed in the past 2a hours, taking the total killed since october 7 to 25,490. ealier i spoke to our middel east correspondent, mark lowen, in jerusalame.

i asked him about the public�*s sentiments in israel after the deaths of the soldiers. i think it will of course deepen the sense of national trauma, already very deep of course over the fate of hostages and the attack in october, the worst in israel's history. but now you have got a number of israeli soldiers killed in the ground operation going past 200, and as you say, 2a killed in those attacks yesterday. i don't think in and of itself it is going to change public opinion here, but i think it's going to deepen an already subtle shift in public opinion. there is a sense here from the families of the hostages certainly that the government is not doing enough, in their view, to prioritise the release of the 113 or so remaining hostages, although 30 of them, according to israel, may already be dead. but i think there is a growing frustration against the government. and then seeing this big, single loss of life in these attacks on monday will exacerbate

the pain and the trauma. i have to say, the majority of israelis are still behind the war and are still behind destroying hamas. at the same time, the majority of israelis, according to opinion polls, want the hostage release to be prioritised. so that is the nuance in public opinion that has spread throughout this country. has the idf said what happened yesterday? some of these soldiers were in buildings that were designated for destruction. yes, what we understand now from a spokesman of the israeli defence forces is that 21 of the 2a soldiers — because three of them were killed in a separate attack — but we are talking about 21 of the 2a killed on monday were in buildings that they themselves we understand had already mined for demolition. but then we understand hamas, or the israeli defence forces say hamas fired, and whether it was a rocket—propelled grenade or missile,

we are not entirely sure, towards that position which actually accelerated the collapse of those buildings, which probably collapsed on the soldiers themselves. houthi rebels in yemen are warning they'll take revenge, after the us and uk launched another wave of air strikes against them. in the last few minutes, the british prime minister, rishi sunak, told mps the latest allied military action was the clearest possible message to the iran—backed rebels that their attacks on cargo ships in the red sea are unacceptable. here's our defence correspondent, jonathan beale. this was the second time that raf jets loaded with guided bombs and flying from cyprus have joined the us in carrying out air strikes on houthi targets in yemen. the aim, once again, to prevent them from launching drones and missiles, targeting international shipping in the red sea.

what the houthis are doing is unacceptable, it's illegal and it's threatening the freedom of navigation. that is why we have taken the action. once again, this was a us—led operation, the bulk of its firepower flying from its aircraft carrier in the region. the impact of the soon visible from the ground. there was a hope that the first set of strikes almost two weeks ago would stop the houthis. but they have continued to target international shipping. this video, posted on social media, purports to show a houthi missile hitting a cargo for vessel. they have damaged several, but so far there have been no casualties. washington now says that its focus is on degrading the houthi military capability. but that won't eliminate the threat. are the strikes working? when you say working, are they

stopping the houthis? no. are they going to continue? yes — the first air strikes focused on houthi radar, missile and drone launch sites. these latest ones were carried out at eight different locations, including an underground weapon storage bunker. us special forces have also intercepted weapons at sea. they said this dhow contained iranian supplied missile components being smuggled into yemen. unless the houthis back down, the prime minister made clear more military action could follow. we are not seeking a confrontation. we urge the houthis and those who enable them to stop the illegal and unacceptable attacks. but if necessary, the united kingdom will not hesitate to respond again in self—defence. the question now is how will the houthis respond?

air strikes may have destroyed some of their arsenal, but by no means all. this could all be repeated again, amid continuing fears of conflict spreading in the region. jonathan beale, bbc news. let's ta ke let's take your life to new hampshire, because we are starting to see a trickle of voters into the paul moon stations in manchester, their biggest city. a primary election taking place. donald trump facing his last remaining republican opponent, nikki haley, in that election. the eventual republican nominee will challenge the democrat nominee. we do know that be presidentjoe biden. peephole heading to the voting booth in manchester, new hampshire. stay with us here on bbc news.

debt relief! uk government borrowing fell much more than expected last month — raising hopes the chancellor could have more room for tax cuts. also — winter warning. two million people could have their energy cut off because they can't afford to top up their prepayment meter — warns the uk's citizen's advice bureau. welcome to world business report. i'm lu kwesa i'm lukwesa burak. we start here in the uk — with the government's finances — because the amount it had to borrow last month was far less than expected. that has raised hopes the chancellor, jeremy hunt, may have extra room to cut taxes when he announces his spring budget in march. a lot of it is down to lower

interest payments — some of which are linked to inflation.
