the americans say the attack happened at a base known as tower 22, right on the syrian—jordanian border. it's one of many american bases across the region. there have been dozens of drone and missile attacks in recent months, but no american personnel have been killed until now. joe biden, seen here attending church, was quick to point the finger. it's not necessarily a tipping point into uncontrolled escalation between the united states and iran, but it's another very dangerous step because, as i say, the us will have to respond even more strongly than it's done to previous attacks. carefully cultivated over years, iran has a wide network of allies and proxies operating in countries across the middle east. they're all opposed to israel and the united states. it's sometimes called the axis of resistance.

there are pro—iranian militias in lebanon, the palestinian territories, gaza and the west bank, plus iraq and syria. and far to the south, there's also the houthis in yemen. over the weekend, the houthis have been launching their own attacks, hitting a tanker in the gulf of aden. british warship hms diamond used an air defense missile to bring down a houthi drone. with british help, the us have been hitting houthi military targets for a couple of weeks. so far, the houthis seem undeterred. they say they'll stop attacking ships if and when there's a ceasefire in gaza. the problems america is dealing with across the region aren't all about gaza, but the war there has left the whole middle east a lot more dangerous. paul adams, bbc news. adjusting reporters in the last few minutes he is referring to the

potential deal detail must be thrashed out but over the weekend, reaching a new with hamas and the release of what's being held in gaza in the white house saying talks are constructive but work remains to be done and after the prime minister said that progress was made during the stalks between the us and israeli spy chiefs. there is now a framework for a phase truce that with the women and children released first with the aid also in gaza. nicholas and. i first with the aid also in gaza. nicholas and.— first with the aid also in gaza. nicholas and. i think yesterday was aood nicholas and. i think yesterday was good progress _ nicholas and. i think yesterday was good progress made _ nicholas and. i think yesterday was good progress made to _ nicholas and. i think yesterday was good progress made to get - nicholas and. i think yesterday was good progress made to get things. good progress made to get things backin good progress made to get things back in shape for the way forward

and we cannot say this puts us in better shape soon in the proposal to get them to a place where they engage positively and constructively because we think that in today's world, i think that will be the only way to get the situation de—escalated and both parties take this opportunity to get to make the war stop and also to get the hostages back here. what difference could this make it it gets resolution and asked daniel, the president of the us middle east

project founded by the council formulations and the former israeli negotiator in multiple, have a listen. cautions that the foundation is being laid and therefore are from the movement and would imagine that getting a deal where the israeli in gaza hostages are released, the cease—fire and getting on top of the humanitarian crisis in the civilians are just been horrendous and you would get an exchange in the release of palestinian, and to get there but just as qatar in egypt at the speed to hamas, americans have to deliver the israeli side and benjamin

netanyahu, that could be a major stumbling block but the only way you ratchet down the regional conflagration is to get the cease—fire in gaza. but conflagration is to get the cease-fire in gaza. but the qatari prime minister _ cease-fire in gaza. but the qatari prime minister is _ cease-fire in gaza. but the qatari prime minister is talking - cease-fire in gaza. but the qatari prime minister is talking about i cease-fire in gaza. but the qatari prime minister is talking about in | prime minister is talking about in the real interested in your response in the freezing and that is real critical year. in the freezing and that is real criticalyear. halting in the freezing and that is real critical year. halting the infighting in gaza and the release of hostages related to hamas coming from that speech that we heard there from that speech that we heard there from the qatari prime minister confirming that this meetings went well. and a phase truce that was the women and children hostages released first with the aid entering gaza. it is your previous roles, doing exactly the sort of negotiation, it is notjust the parties directly involved in the stalks from there so

military to withdraw from the gaza strip into israel as an ongoing theory for committing the crime of genocide in the national court of justice so that doesn't yet seem to be in position is are not going things are not going well on the battlefield and enough attrition to be ready quite yet to clinch the deal, whether the united states, look what just happened deal, whether the united states, look whatjust happened on the jordan syrian border, look what is happening near the red sea, this escalation towards the gaza cease—fire and especially during an election year and they need to dial this down and lean more in israel and use the leverage, but we'll have

well, something a little bit clearer overhead. and as we head through the nights, that area of cloud and increasingly patchy rain will swing away eastwards. and those clearer, colder conditions getting in across northern ireland and scotland. so a frost here, maybe some ice in places to start tuesday morning. but that will give way to actually quite a lot of sunshine and just the odd shower into western scotland. now england and wales, starting with a fair bit of cloud, the odd shower, maybe still some showers in eastern counties by the afternoon. but for the majority here, we will see some spells of sunshine, a little bit chillier than some of us have been used to recently. seven to 11 degrees. now through tuesday night and into wednesday it's all eyes to the northwest, this deepening area of low pressure. see all the ice bars squeezing together here that shows that we're going to have a spell of really strong winds, particularly across scotland, gales widely, but in the far north, gusts of 80 miles per hour, particularly as this band of heavy, squally rain sinks south. that rain getting into northern ireland and northern england,

another wet day over high ground, for example, in north west england to the south of that, mostly dry, fairly mild cold air behind our frontal system with some wintry showers for a time in the north of scotland. now, thursday looks like a quieter day, some spells of sunshine, although cloud will build across north western parts, rain into north west scotland. and that begins a push of really mild air for the end of the week. this warm front working across northern scotland on thursday night. behind it, a wedge of really very mild air indeed. that mild south west of the flow, also quite a moist southwesterly flow. so there will be more in the way of cloud as we look ahead to friday. but it is going to be exceptionally mild temperatures of 12 to 14 degrees. bye for now.
