at the extent of the destruction. for weeks, aid agencies have been warning of the huge scale of suffering and destruction in the gaza strip, but no journalists have been allowed in independently. now bbc verify, working with academics who've used satellite radar mapping analysis, can show the extent of israel's military strikes. the un says a ceasefire is desperately needed. these maps showing how the damage has built up since the start of the israeli response to the hamas attacks on october the seventh. israel has repeatedly said hamas embeds itself, deliberately, in civilian areas. now, the analysis shows between 50% and 61% of buildings are either badly damaged or destroyed. israel initially told civilians to move south for their safety, but this is the southern city of khan younis, which has also now been badly hit. here before the israeli air strikes

and now afterwards. and you can see a dramatic change to the city landscape. more than 38,000 buildings have been destroyed here alone. now, drone footage shows whole residential areas, once bustling streets now in ruins. and this was israel blowing up a whole university in what appears to be a controlled explosion earlier this month. the extent and pace of damage is remarkable. i've never seen this much damage appear so quickly, satellite radar indicated damage appeared so quickly. and in that sense, it really stands out. we've also been looking at satellite imagery illustrating the extent that farmland shown in these squares has been effectively laid waste. the idf told us they found hamas tunnel entrances and rocket launch sites in various agricultural areas. but there have been allegations of deliberate destruction and of course it's caused massive

displacement for civilians. this was an area near the egyptian border in october. and this more recently, tents and temporary structures now covering three and a half square kilometres. a sprawling new city of hunger and despair. those pictures show us what a challenge it is going to be to putting gaza back on its feet. before all that, the mediators will have to find a way to bring this war to an end. hamas said today they are studying a proposal for a six ceasefire that was drawn up in paris this weekend. phase one — the release of civilian hostages — in exchange for palestinian prisoners. three per hostage. and phase two, the release of idf hostages, and the bodies hamas is holding, in return for a higher ratio of palestinian prisoners. there are though some significant gaps in that negotiation. hamas wants an indefinite ceasefire. israel will not agree to anything that leaves hamas in place.clearly, israel will not agree to anything that leaves hamas in place. clearly, given the tensions in the wider region, there is a desire in washington to move things forward.

here's secretary blinken speaking last night. we're looking to end it in a way that the atrocities of october seven never happen again in the suffering that we have seen on the part of israelis and palestinians alike. that is where working towards, the end of the suffering and that is where our focus is. but lord cameron has gone much further than that today. the british foreign secretary said the last 30 years had been a story of failure for israel, because it had failed to protect its people. and the palestinian people he said would have to be shown "irreversible progress" towards a two—state solution. "as that happens, we — with allies — he added will look at the issue of recognising a palestinian state, including at the united nations," "that could be one of the things that helps to make this process irreversible." with more on this let's speak to our diplomatoc correspondent james landale. why now and how much is in lockstep with its allies? you

why now and how much is in lockstep with its allies?— with its allies? you think some side uff with its allies? you think some side puff creative _ with its allies? you think some side puff creative diplomacy _ with its allies? you think some side puff creative diplomacy is _ with its allies? you think some side puff creative diplomacy is required | puff creative diplomacy is required so they can be in those discussions we had in paris, the immediate attempt to end the fighting right now, they're thinking about the longer—term, how do you get both sides thinking politically rather than militarily and look, there has to be some kind of incentive for the palestinian people and one possibility is the idea that the west, the international community recognises an independent state in palestine is not something that would happen at the end of the process but it could happen earlier as part of the negotiations. we're not talking next week or the next few months, long term stuff, but we need to think creatively about this and if you can bring that forward, that might, give the palestinians, political horizon so their progress

towards a two state solution is somehow irreversible, to use his language. that is what he is trying to do but it is not everyone's cup of tea. , , , ., , , of tea. keep pushing it to push anal st of tea. keep pushing it to push analyst position _ of tea. keep pushing it to push analyst position or— of tea. keep pushing it to push analyst position or is _ of tea. keep pushing it to push analyst position or is he - of tea. keep pushing it to push analyst position or is he being | analyst position or is he being nudged that position to test the waters? i nudged that position to test the waters? ~ , , , waters? i think this is in testing the water and _ waters? i think this is in testing the water and putting _ waters? i think this is in testing the water and putting it - waters? i think this is in testing the water and putting it out - waters? i think this is in testing i the water and putting it out there and i think, it's been interesting and i think, it's been interesting and there's been some rough feathers from israel supporters in the uk but his real estate very quiet and americans and i commented on this yet and for letting this thing sit there to see what happens in clearly, the uk is not going to do this by themselves but would lord cameron is doing is if we are going to get on to this, we have to start thinking creatively to get out of our boxes. thinking creatively to get out of our bom— thinking creatively to get out of our boxes. ., , ., our boxes. you need partners for eace. our boxes. you need partners for peace- they _ our boxes. you need partners for peace. they cannot _ our boxes. you need partners for peace. they cannot be _ our boxes. you need partners for peace. they cannot be left - our boxes. you need partners for peace. they cannot be left with l

process by putting the cart before the horse, they did identify the palestinian state. but one of the lessons from that was that it did leave too much unwritten and one of the reasons why it fell apart his people came back and started to go details, and fell apart. usually controversial to suggest the west recognise a palestinian state during negotiations, effectively israel does not have a veto over this because of these negotiations nothing is agreed until everything is agreed and the idea of israel not having a veto of this process is a punchy place to get to end this is a british minister saying, let's think creatively and it's ruffled a few feathers which is probably the intentionally adding to it he was saying and i was there, perception the house of commons and the

backers in the irg see that these attacks are unacceptable we will do what we have to deal to protect her troops and our facilities are to look after our national security interests in the region. let's cross now to brad bowman, senior director of the center on military and political power at the foundation for defense of democracies. thank you for being with us and what, what do you think president biden his security team are thinking? i think they're going here is to restore deterrence which is tattered and we see more than 167 attacks on us forces in iraq and syria and aljordan with these three servicemembers paying for their lives in this administration is to act there is bipartisan consensus of the object strongly and throughout the object strongly and throughout the last weeks until october the 7th of not long before that is an

american restraint was the best way and many republicans i l worry that this restraint is to this point and this restraint is to this point and this has been read by the islamic republic as weakness and a green for additional aggression.— additional aggression. whether american first _ additional aggression. whether american first policy, _ additional aggression. whether american first policy, talk- additional aggression. whether american first policy, talk of i american first policy, talk of withdrawal, the language of the administration is to be restrained and sits in his weakness in russia, iran, china, we saw a tweet from the former supreme commander of nato's said stop talking about retaliation and restraint, discuss after the people were sending the bombs. working in the us senate, he figured the leaders cannot talk to one audience at a time when you speak in brussels or washington, utah,

restraint and reason it all sounds very nice but our adversary zeroed very nice but our adversary zeroed very differently and if you're in the playground he sat modified, what do you expect the bully to do? keep throwing punches and that's what we have seen both in the red sea and also in iraq and syria,— have seen both in the red sea and also in iraq and syria, do you think it needs to — also in iraq and syria, do you think it needs to go _ also in iraq and syria, do you think it needs to go beyond _ also in iraq and syria, do you think it needs to go beyond a _ also in iraq and syria, do you think it needs to go beyond a strike - also in iraq and syria, do you think it needs to go beyond a strike on l it needs to go beyond a strike on the proxies in the over what we need to consider proportionate? a, the proxies in the over what we need to consider proportionate? a decades lona to consider proportionate? a decades long strategy — to consider proportionate? a decades long strategy and _ to consider proportionate? a decades long strategy and there _ to consider proportionate? a decades long strategy and there the _ to consider proportionate? a decades long strategy and there the puppet i long strategy and there the puppet master in using terror puppets and proxies around the region and palestinians and islamichhad to enhance these objectives while displacing the counter punches onto others, it's going quite swimmingly for iran because i was focusing on the proxies and meanwhile iran is

capable of nuclear weapons can ability that is inching towards and so, the bottom line is we cannot have our adversaries from the american perspective think they can kill american service members and get away with it so we will see a strong response much of it will come in syria and may be in iraq there are some reasons why they may want to avoid that interview in the cleft of the proxies and not some of the revolutionary guard corps elements, that it plays right into a ron's puppet master strategy. the difference — puppet master strategy. the difference being discussed in paris of the week and also the warnings for yesterday that goes too far, response to further complicate the process. br; response to further complicate the rocess. �* , response to further complicate the rocess. �* v u. ., ., response to further complicate the rocess. j ., ., ., process. by the escalation of the talk about america _ process. by the escalation of the talk about america responding .

well, you know that's a good question. i expect there will be and we do not expected be much of a trial, we know that he is innocent and not do with the common ivan clear exactly what they are alleging he did but he was doing nothing remotely close to espionage and the prosecution has been very publicly not very transparent, there is no stated trial date at this point in the detailing of the allegations in the detailing of the allegations in the process and they have been out for a year by the time this current extension is up and that is normally the time when he should be brought to trial and the government can seek further extension of his pretrial. we had a debate of some of it was

detained in china on the espionage charge whether you should probably talk all the time about a situation like this when someone is being held ljy like this when someone is being held by a foreign government and the wall streetjournal has been very public about the sense kept into the limelight throughout, do you think thatis limelight throughout, do you think that is working to your advantage and as it is much for the biden administration keeping them on their toes as it is for the russians? i think it is important for a number of reasons and i hope it is working and working as intended and it's important for everyone to know that none of us are forgetting about evan and it's also important for the biden administration that we are not forgetting about evan everyone to get the pressure on to get them out as soon as possible and think it's important for the russian government to know if your rest for a journalist, we are not squinty keep quiet about it we are going to complain and when you keep pointing that out in every form that we can

and it is a huge assault on freedom of the press and it's an incredible line cross a foreign correspondents who have generally had quasi—diplomatic status and amounts based in china, the worst you worried about was that you would get kicked out because we all assumed wrongly that that was about the worse that could happen by my talking with steve rosenberg who lives under the same pressure, why do you think he was pinpointed, what is about that made him a good choice. i is about that made him a good choice. ~ is about that made him a good choice-- he _ is about that made him a good choice.- he was - is about that made him a good choice.- he was arrested choice. i think he was arrested because he — choice. i think he was arrested because he was _ choice. i think he was arrested because he was an _ choice. i think he was arrested because he was an american. | choice. i think he was arrested l because he was an american. is choice. i think he was arrested i because he was an american. is a simple as that. they don't want anything from the wall street journal, we have nothing to offer them an assumption is that he is a bargaining chip and something that

because it is set to bring winds of more than 100 miles per hour in norway. the winds not as strong here, but northern parts of the uk can expect some very wet and very, very blustery weather as we head through the day on wednesday — those winds picking up, actually, through tonight across the north—west of scotland. we will see gales developing, some rain eventually moving in. further south and east, some clear skies. where we have this zone of clear weather, we could well see a touch of frost — temperatures, for example, in birmingham and cardiff getting down to freezing. not as cold further north and west with more cloud, that strengthening wind and some outbreaks of rain. so, many parts of england and wales starting wednesday with at least some spells of sunshine. northern ireland and scotland, though, clouding over with outbreaks of very heavy rain. in fact, just about here, a line of really intense downpours sinking south—eastwards with some squally, gusty winds. those wind gusts generally 50—60 miles per hour across parts of northern ireland, northern england and scotland. but in the north of scotland, we could easily see gusts in excess of 80 miles per hour,

likely to cause some damage and travel disruption. 0ur rain band continuing itsjourney southwards into the afternoon. to the south of the rain band, mostly fine, limited spells of sunshine. behind the rain band, it will — for a time, at least — turn a little bit colder. and our band of rain sinks ever further southwards through wednesday evening, weakening a little as it goes. that rain band will then clear into thursday, high pressure builds. so thursday's actually a pretty decent day — lots of dry weather, some spells of sunshine, although that sunshine will turn hazy from time to time, with some high cloud streaming in from the west. thicker cloud bringing rain back into the north—west of scotland. but that band of rain comes in association with a warm front. and as that works across the uk, it leaves us with some very mild conditions indeed for friday — highs of 1a or 15 degrees. staying mild but often cloudy into the weekend. bye— bye.
