that a major ground offensive in 6323's rafah would be a "mistake," as the two leaders spoke for the first time in a month amid growing tensions. mr netanyahu also agreed to biden�*s request to send a delegation of senior israeli officials to washington to discuss israel's rafah plans and a possible "alternative approach". let's hearfrom white house national security adviserjake sullivan. on the call today, president biden asked the prime minister to send a senior interagency team composed of military, intelligence and humanitarian officials to washington in the coming days to hear us concerns about israel's current rafah planning and to lay out an alternative approach that would target key hamas elements in rafah and secure the egypt gaza border without a major ground invasion. the prime minister agreed that he would send a team. obviously has his own point of view
9:31 pm
on the rafah operation but he agreed that he would send a team to washington to have this discussion and have this engagement. a un—backed report is warning "famine is imminent as 1.1m people, or half of gaza experience catastrophic food insecurtiy" and the death toll in gaza is approaching 32,000, according to the hamas—run health ministry. meanwhile, the israeli military says it has taken control of al—shifa hospital in gaza city. it reported that troops came under fire and that 80 people were detained and others killed, including a senior commander of hamas's internal security service. these are images from the raid, you can hear gunshots. witnesses described heavy exchanges of fire around the site. thousands of displaced people have been sheltering here — and patients are treated. gaza's health ministry said israel

9:34 pm
there is a lot of criticism in the sense that netanyahu is not listening. immigrant from maryland said the united states will look feckless and weak if there is, continues to be a lack of influence in israel. but my colleagues also reported that there has been this internal conversation and pressure on israel for... that's been more private than public, but now we're starting to see that come out quite publicly and there's a lot of questions of if it will have any sort of impact and as of now it hasn't. ., �* , _, ., sort of impact and as of now it hasn't. ., �*, _, ., _, hasn't. leon, let's come to you. the world's focus — hasn't. leon, let's come to you. the world's focus has _ hasn't. leon, let's come to you. the world's focus has been _ hasn't. leon, let's come to you. the world's focus has been on _ hasn't. leon, let's come to you. the world's focus has been on rafah for| world's focus has been on rafah for quite some time now and there hasn't been any change at all from netanyahu in the plans as far as we can see from the outside. m0. netanyahu in the plans as far as we can see from the outside.— netanyahu in the plans as far as we can see from the outside. no, and i think this is — can see from the outside. no, and i think this is quite _ can see from the outside. no, and i think this is quite worrying - can see from the outside. no, and i think this is quite worrying for - think this is quite worrying for the allies. _ think this is quite worrying for the allies. the — think this is quite worrying for the allies, the united kingdom, united

after much speculation, the elusive street artist, banksy, has confirmed this mural that suddenly appeared on the side of a building in finsbury park in north london is his latest creation, and ellie price has more details. it's not that impressive close—up, but it all makes sense when you see it with the tree. when banksy comes to town so does everyone else. a treat for the locals who just happened to be passing. i think it's amazing, honestly. i've always known about banksy�*s artwork and i didn't actually know there was going to be one so close to home so, yeah, really nice to see. i think it's incredible. we were just out on a little morning walk and just happened to stumble across it and i think it's wonderful. i came inside the house and i started calling - the children, "wake up, - something is going on out there." even by this morning the artwork had already attracted international interest.
9:39 pm
they had heard about it watching telly in the hotel. so we just took the bus, we are living two hours, we are leaving in two hours, but we just came here to see it. locals told us that the wall got its makeover in the early hours of yesterday morning and here is another thing they noticed. the green of the leaves is the same colour as islington council's signage. experts reckon banksy�*s message is an obvious environmental one. this is a particularly big thing because of its scale and because of the clarity of the message and the fact that it exists in this built environment in a really clever and smart way. also pleased it exists here is the local mp who came to see it as soon as he heard. already it has put us on the map. finsbury park has got a banksy. the wall clearly needed repainting anyway so banksy is just helping out. banksy kept fans waiting for more than a day before claiming this work. confirmation it is the real deal will only attract more visitors to finsbury park's greenest tree.

9:42 pm
the environmental group greenpeace could be thrown out of the un group that oversees deep sea mining for minerals. greenpeace has been accused of disrupting a research expedition in the pacific, in a row over access to billions of dollars worth of minerals on the seabed. greenpeace says mining has a negative impact on marine life, but mining companies say it's crucial for the transition to renewable energy. our climate editor, justin rowlatt reports. a research vessel is assessing the impact of mining on the sea bed. protesters from greenpeace board the vessel, hampering the research, says the company. just another conflict between industry and activists? not in this case. the miners, like the greens, claim to be acting in the best interests of the planet. they say the metallic nodules they are after are crucial to the green transition and say hoovering them up is far less damaging than mining on land. this is what the miners are after, this is a polymetallic nodule. they take millions of years to form and they contain cobalt, nickel, copper, manganese,
9:43 pm
all metals used in renewable technologies. the problem is getting hold of these destroys the creatures that live among them. there isn't much life in the deep oceans but what scientists are learning is what there is far more diverse than was expected. are learning is what there is is far more diverse than was expected. but the deep ocean covers 40% of the surface of the earth, land is just 29%. the miners say they only want access to a tiny proportion. i understand why the greens are cautious, but on this occasion, they have got it wrong. and let's go back to first principles. we should be carrying out extractive industries in parts of the planet where there is the least life, not the most life. mr barron says greenpeace's approach is anti—science. the activist group says protest isjustified because his company aims to press ahead with mining before regulations have been agreed. there is so much science
9:44 pm
out there already which is urging extreme caution. 800 scientists, more than, have said we should not be transitioning right now to actually mining. we don't want to see licences coming forward... but they are not transitioning to mining, they are collecting evidence, right? you said yourself, we need more science. and then greenpeace is blocking the effort to get that science is done, aren't you? i think there is a big difference between tick box science by a company that has a clear commercial interest in the outcomes of that research, and independent scientific research which is helping us understand the complexity and fragility of deep ocean environments. a decision about greenpeace's future with the international seabed authority will be made at the meeting injamaica. the un body says it aims to agree rules for mining by 2025. justin rowlatt, bbc news. now it's time for the panel.

a rare beatles record was found in the first person, original masters copy of the album please please me. imagine stumbling upon this, he beatles record from 1973 in your local cherry or the shop. cancer research uk store in north london did just that, jamie marie madden found the rear copy of please please me thinking it would fetch a few hundred pounds. she wasjust me thinking it would fetch a few hundred pounds. she was just a touch off. it'sjust hundred pounds. she was just a touch off. it's just sold for more than £4000 on ebay with the proceeds all going towards cancer research funding. now, head of this has inspired you and you have a few vinyls lying around at home gathering dust, you may be sitting on a small fortune. demands for records is skyrocketing. here in the uk, sales hit their highest level since 1990 last year, according to trade group bpi as fans embrace both
9:50 pm
the quality and collectible aspect of vinyl. perhaps another excuse to get started early on that spring cleaning. right, do you stay with us, plenty more on the website of course, and do download the bbc news app. we'll have all the headlines, all the top stories at the top of the hour. i'm lewis vaughanjones, this is bbc news. bye—bye. hello from the bbc sport centre. we start with a huge day at the bottom of the premier league — where nottingham forest say they're extremely disappointed with the decision of an independent commission to impose the sanction of four points for breaching the division's profit and sustainability rules. their punishment comes after the club admitted losses last
9:51 pm
season that breached the threshold of £61 million by £34.5 million. the docked points means forest drop into the relegation zone — with luton now sitting just outside the bottom three. a very strong statement from nottingham forest, they are extremely disappointed with the sanction because it's drops with the sanction because it drops them into the relegation zone beneath luton town. but they also are very critical of how the premier league have behaved in all of this, they say they are dismayed by the tone and content of the premier league's submission which they say has harmed the trust and confidence in the league. they say the eight points deduction that was sought by the premier league was utterly disproportionate, they say the premier league gave no consideration to the unique circumstances and mitigation was put forward by forest. and they make the point about other
9:52 pm
clubs that are coming up from the championship, aspiring ambitious clubs who want to not just survive in the premier league but thrive in the premier league against those big established clubs. they say this does harm to that possibility of clubs doing well when they have these rules in place. and central to this whole case is the losses that they've accrued but particularly since they were promoted to the premier league, the spending spree that they went on but also the sale of brennan johnson to tottenham hotspur, that happened in the middle of a transfer window. they essentially said they held out to get more money for him, and that has meant they have now fallen foul of the rules and they basically say that doesn't make sense for an ambitious club to be hit with this deduction as a result of that. well, now all eyes will turn to everton — who are also awaiting a hearing after breaking financial rules — and that could also lead to a points deduction —
9:53 pm
which would be their second of the season. forest fan greg mitchell says the punishment takes away the sporting integriry of the league. there's two teams that are going to be right down there and that may well not have been in that situation. it's also made a team like burnley after their win at the weekend look and see we can catch them. so yeah, we're still waiting on everton's it shouldn't be like this, it should be about the results of the week and, not the financial side, there is that side that kind of taints it. a good close season like this one. i believe now that the club, the fans, the players, the coach, everybody at forrest, as to work and get us over the line like they did last season. the scottish professional football league are going to investigate after rangers premiership game at dundee was postponed 90 minutes before kick? off. rangers were left "extremely disappointed and angered" after the referee deemed a number of areas on the pitch to be unsafe after heavy rainfall.
9:54 pm
it's the fourth time this season that a match at dens park has been postponed following heavy rainfall. britain's most successful female olympian, dame laura kenny says the time was right for her to step away from cycling. the 31—year—old who has won five olympic golds and seven world championship titles announced her retirement earlier today — ruling her out of a fourth olympic appearance in paris this summer. with the olympic qualification coming around, you have to be qualified, the last opportunity is the end of april. i would have had to compete by then and the pressure of that was making me be like, i don't want to do this. so i don't think there was a specific day. it has only been about ten days actually completely decided. it has been in my head for a little while, thinking, at the this is the right time for me.
9:55 pm
it's not just the metals and titles that we will all remember and celebrate, but how she has done it. the sort of person she is. she has never changed and has always been fun and has had a incredibly down—to—earth attitude about it. and made it feel that this is something other people could aspire to do and be. i think that is one of her enduring legacies, is the incredible standard she said, but she actually brought so many people into her sport in general because of the way she did it. and that's all the sport for now. you can stay right up to date by using the bbc sport website and app. bye—bye for now. there is a change on the way, between now and then we have some spells of wind and rain to contend with, the widest and windiest weather towards the west and north
9:56 pm
of the uk. this is what we are set to accumulate through the course of this week. the green indicating more than 50 mm of rain. there is a bit of rain to take us to the first part of rain to take us to the first part of tuesday, along the line of this weather front, of tuesday, along the line of this weatherfront, notice of tuesday, along the line of this weather front, notice this front wriggles back out into the atlantic and another pulse of rain coming through tuesday night into wednesday. but in the short term, the first piece of that weather front lingering across parts of south—east anger, clouds and spots of rain, then that next pulse of what weather wishes in the southwest of england later on. breaking up to give some spells of sunshine, the rogue shower, feeling mild and warm of highs of 17 degrees, that through tuesday night here comes the rain pushing its way northward and eastward. might hold onto something a little bit drier and clearer towards the south—east corner, certainly up to the northwest of scotland where it will be cold to start wednesday morning, maybe even
9:57 pm
p0p start wednesday morning, maybe even pop fog passions here, and mild to the south and east. for many a soggy start wednesday, these outbreaks of rain moving northwards and eastwards as the day wears on. i think the skies will tend to brighten in many places, we will see some spells of sunshine developing particularly towards the south—east of england were will feel warm indeed and 17 degrees, also from northern island in western scotland come here somewhat chilly or feel to the weather. briefly a ridge of high pressure to build, that won't last long, we'll see this next weather system ringing wet and windy weather through thursday, at a site players for friday and into the weekend, well, the winds of change direction and started to come down from the north and that will make it feel significantly colder. temperatures on the thermometer lower than they have been, you can even see some wintry showers over high ground in the north, but factor in the strength of the wind, the wind—chill is going to make it feel really very cold indeed. and those chillier conditions extend all the way south across the uk for the weekend.
