of kharkiv is he bluffing? and a mystery thousands of years in the making: we speak to the author of new study about how the pyramids were built. the israeli army says it's recovered the bodies of three more hostages from gaza killed by hamas during the attack on the supernova music festival on october the 7th, before their corpses were taken into the territory. the idf say the bodies of shani louk, amit buskila and yitzhak gelernter were recovered in an operation overnight. meanwhile aid deliveries have begun arriving at a temporary floating pier built by the us off the gaza strip. israel has come under growing pressure to allow in more relief supplies.

the uk prime minister rishi sunak said this first delivery via the pier was �*the culmination of a herculeanjoint international effort. from jerusalem, lucy williamson. yitzhak gelernter, shani louk and amit buskila, three israeli hostages killed at the nova music festival on the 7th of october, their bodies taken hostage and brought back home this week. hostages killed at the nova music festival on the 7th of october, their bodies taken hostage and brought back home this week by israeli forces. according to the credible information we have gathered, shani louk, amit buskila, yitzhak gelernter were murdered by hamas while escaping the nova music festival on october seven and their bodies were taken into gaza. israel's army is fighting in areas to the south and centre of gaza

and jabalia to the north where it says it found this hamas arsenal with its stockpile of heavy weapons. this video from hamas released today, weeks after israel said the area was cleared. in the south, aid routes into gaza have been largely blocked by the israeli operation in rafah. the un says more than half a million people have fled, seeking safety, shelter and food. today, the first test of a new pier and modular causeway, built by us and british forces to get aid in. a lifeline for gaza to relieve the pressure on local populations and distant politicians. un lorries waited on gaza's shore to receive the shipment. temporary shelter kits from the uk alongside aid from the us and united arab emirates. we welcome it, we hope it can be effectively scaled up, but it is no substitute for a proper opening of borders.

it is expensive and it is inefficient, but we hope it will work. but the new pier was little comfort for some of those watching from the shore. translation: they want to bring us food? - they should bring us back to our homes, they should stop the bloodshed. they should come and see how we are living on the streets. israel's allies are taking on gaza's growing humanitarian crisis. with a $300 million response that will salve, not solve. so that's the latest from the region but what does the future of gaza look like in the short and long term? i've been speaking to the palestinian ambassador to the united nations, riyad mansour, and i asked how he sees the political future of a post—war gaza.

how do you see the future of gaza? this war would have to end one day. what is the political future of gaza when the war is over, in your view? the first thing that we need to do and that is our top priority, and a top priority of the arabs, the muslims, all peace—loving people, is to stop this carnage and this aggression and this war against our people, to save lives, to send food and medicine and water and humanitarian assistance to scale as suggested by the secretary—general of the un and to stop the crime against humanity of the forced transfer and for israeli occupation forces to go from gaza. once we have these things put in place, will be able to devote our thinking and our energies into what needs

to be done to rebuild gaza and to put life back together and the gaza strip. surely, you need to be thinking about that now, the future for gaza, you need to be thinking about that now. we know, you, the palestinian authority, fatah, have had talks with hamas in moscow about a kind of unified approach. would you work in government with hamas despite what they did on october seven? our government declared from the beginning of this aggression that we have one unified, one government, that is responsible for the affairs of the palestinian people in the occupied part of the state of palestine, including the gaza strip, the west bank and eastjerusalem. and in fact, a significant portion of the budget of the palestinian national authority is being spent all the time

on the employees of the national authority in the gaza strip and it never stopped, and it continued to take place, including during the seven months of aggression against our people. so, that is in terms of the responsibility. in terms of the details, it is very difficult to put anything in place as long as there is israeli occupation forces still in occupied gaza strip. they need to be moved. they need to be removed. we need to assess and evaluate the massive amount of damage to the infrastructure and to the life of our people in the gaza strip, and to see how we can mobilise resources in order to take, to be able to implement the monumental task of the government which was announced in his speech as to the plan of the new government of the state of palestine,

as it relates to the gaza strip. cani can i ask you about that extraordinary— can i ask you about that extraordinary momenti can i ask you about that l extraordinary moment we can i ask you about that - extraordinary moment we had at can i ask you about that _ extraordinary moment we had at the when _ extraordinary moment we had at the when the _ extraordinary moment we had at the when the un — extraordinary moment we had at the when the un the— extraordinary moment we had at the when the un the palestinian- extraordinary moment we had at the when the un the palestinian bid - extraordinary moment we had at the when the un the palestinian bid to i when the un the palestinian bid to become which _ when the un the palestinian bid to become which would _ when the un the palestinian bid to become which would have - when the un the palestinian- become which would have effectively recognised, ultimately, a palestinian state. israel reacted with fury, its ambassador said, the un charter had and that winston churchill would be turning in his grave. what did you think of that moment, do you winston churchill would genocide and insulting the

russia's president putin has said there are no plans to capture ukraine's second city of kharkiv at least for now. instead he said his troops are carving out a buffer zone in the area, after their recent offensive.

russian forces have been advancing in the north east, near kharkiv, and fierce fighting has been taking place the yellow represents new gains claimed by russia. our defence correspondent, jonathan beale, sent this special report from the front line. near the village of lipsi, the russians are closing in. the fire from a recent rocket attack near a ukrainian position. we are told to immediately head to a bunker. taking shelter, recently arrived ukrainian reinforcements. a week ago, they were fighting elsewhere on the front. andrei tells me the situation is dynamic and tense. from a drone feed, they are nervously watching and waiting for another attack. he says it's time to leave.

theyjust spotted enemy forces advancing. this is where they are directing artillery fire. they are telling us to get out. they said this area is under threat, and we are going to go. at a field hospital further from the front, medics are treating viktor. he has lost his fingers in a mortar explosion. he says he and his men were fending off wave after wave of russian attacks. they were outnumbered and also outgunned. translation: they have everything, whatever they want, and we have - nothing to fight with, but we do what we can. ukraine's been starved of ammunition, but president zelensky says the shortage is now being addressed.

at an artillery line outside the town of bohdjansk, they've just received another batch of shells for their old, soviet—era gun. ukraine is just about holding the front here in the kharkiv region, where the russians have launched this fresh assault, but only by pulling units like this from elsewhere on the front, in places where the russians have been advancing. these guys have just been given a new target. but they are frustrated, too, that the russians were so easily able to cross the border. translation: we could have built some sort of fortifications and lost | less human lives, fewer villages. now, we will have to fight for it again. we will need to use more resources. we could have used logs and concrete. now we will have to use shells and people to take this land back.

kharkiv was fortified, but these defences were built well away from the border, beyond the range of russian artillery. too far to make a difference. further east, where the russians are also gaining ground, ukraine is building more defences. a recognition it may have to pull back here as well. but digging so close to russian lines is dangerous and difficult, as we are about to find out. johnny, johnny! get down. we are told to take cover. quick, quick. is a russian armed drone hovers right above us, as a russian armed drone hovers right above us, scanning for potential targets. there is a palpable relief when it passes. this is a war in which it is getting

harder to hide, where the enemy is watching your every move. yes, let's go. jonathan beale, bbc news, kharkiv. let's crossover to lviv in western ukraine and speak to maria avdeeva, a security expert at the european expert association. maria, how worried are you that russia seems to be making quite quick gains in that part of north eastern ukraine? i quick gains in that part of north eastern ukraine?— quick gains in that part of north eastern ukraine? i was there at kharkiv several _ eastern ukraine? i was there at kharkiv several days _ eastern ukraine? i was there at kharkiv several days before - eastern ukraine? i was there at kharkiv several days before so l eastern ukraine? i was there at i kharkiv several days before so the mood is quite grim because of the russian advance. but people in kharkiv belief that ukrainian armed forces will be able to defend the city itself. the biggest concern is that the russian artillery fire will be too close to the city and russia

will be able to smash residential areas as they have already done in the first days and months of invasion. actually, in the border areas of kharkiv, you can already see the glow of the altar really fire and hear the shelves in the distance. —— artillery area. the most realistic situation is people are desperately trying to escape the hell of russian argumentation —— occupation because they have already gone through and knows what it brings so these people are trying to get out, but as russian troops are advancing, it gets more and more difficult and dangerous for the evacuation teams to get them out. so todayit evacuation teams to get them out. so today it was only police allowed in the town to try to get people who are still waiting to be evacuated. we just saw in that report from the front line that the ukrainian troops there are just saying, they do not,

they have not had enough ammunition, weapons, they have not had enough troops to fight off these russian advances. ~ , ,., , ., troops to fight off these russian advances. ~ , , ., . ., , advances. absolutely. to add to this the ukrainian _ advances. absolutely. to add to this the ukrainian troops _ advances. absolutely. to add to this the ukrainian troops were _ advances. absolutely. to add to thisi the ukrainian troops were prohibited from using western supply weapons to hit russian forces on the territory of russia. so basically, what happened is the ukrainian army that was on the front line near the border, they solve russian troops concentrating on the other side and they were not able to fight back and to shoot at them with western supplied weapons because it was not allowed for them to do so and so that they were watching us russia was preparing to attack. irate that they were watching us russia was preparing to attack. we heard from president _ was preparing to attack. we heard from president putin _ was preparing to attack. we heard from president putin today - was preparing to attack. we heard from president putin today who i was preparing to attack. we heard. from president putin today who has beenin from president putin today who has been in china saying, it is not the immediate aim of russian troops to take the city of kharkiv itself, which is ukraine's second largest

city, do you believe him? i do not believe anything _ city, do you believe him? i do not believe anything that _ city, do you believe him? i do not believe anything that putin - city, do you believe him? i do not believe anything that putin says. | believe anything that putin says. this is one thing, but the other is that russia will not be able to take kharkiv. they were not able to do it in the beginning of the invasion and the territory was liberated in kharkiv and around it and they will not be able to do it again. so the main goalfor russian not be able to do it again. so the main goal for russian army now is to capture in the situation is difficult but ukrainian troops are fighting back effectively so this is a small city on the border with russia. so there is no chance russian troops will be able to capture kharkiv because it is too big for them. this is why the portal is saying, they are not aiming, just because they do not have the manpower and resources to do so. irate manpower and resources to do so. we know there was that delay in getting the military aid package from the

united states because it was stuck in the us congress for months. has this been an example of what happens when ukraine does not get the weapons and the ammunition that it needs? ~ , ,., , . . needs? absolutely. i have heard the soldiers say — needs? absolutely. i have heard the soldiers say that _ needs? absolutely. i have heard the soldiers say that they _ needs? absolutely. i have heard the soldiers say that they were - needs? absolutely. i have heard the soldiers say that they were not - soldiers say that they were not able to defend the alliance of defence near the border because all the time they were in the region, open for russian artillery fire and they did not have anything to fight back. so they did not have enough ammunition, so they were not covered with ammunition and with artillery fire and this is why they were digging in with shovels which of course is not something you will do, to build a really strong defence lines. this is forced the situation when the concrete and sturdy defence lines are built too close to the city. this is a good example of what happens and what will happen if

ukraine has shortages of ammunition in the upcoming months. because this help has to continue coming. it is notjust help has to continue coming. it is not just one help has to continue coming. it is notjust one package. ukraine is critical need of these western aid and support. critical need of these western aid and suoport-_ and support. very good to talk to ou. that and support. very good to talk to from that is _ and support. very good to talk to you. that is maria, _ and support. very good to talk to you. that is maria, a _ and support. very good to talk to you. that is maria, a security - you. that is maria, a security expert at the european association. thank you for your analysis of where the war in ukraine in particular kharkiv in the north—east of the country. you are watching bbc news. hello. friday started off fairly misty and murky, but through the day things brightened up. we've had a bit of high cloud, meaning the sunshine has been hazy in places, but plenty of blue sky, some shower cloud, too. this was the picture in staffordshire a little bit

earlier on and actually through the weekend the weather isn't going to be changing very much. so we've still got spells of warm sunshine, a few showers, but we won't all see them and some mist and some fog patches, too. through this evening and tonight we'll see some of that mist and low cloud and fog around some of these north sea coasts, eastern england, eastern scotland, also quite cloudy for the western isles, perhaps parts of northern ireland, too. and further south across england, some patchy rain moving in through the night as well. but we start saturday on that mild theme, but we have got quite a bit of mist, and murk around. so we've got low pressure that's sitting across the near continent. a couple of areas of low pressure here, in fact, but it's high pressure across the atlantic that's going to be really dominating the weather, i think, for the next few days. so this is how saturday starts. then we've got that sea fog around some of these coastal areas that should burn back through the day, one or two showers. and actually across wales, perhaps south—west of england, north—west england, south—west scotland, they could be heavy and thundery at times, but then will be hit and miss

so we won't all see them. and top temperatures similar to recent days, 20—23 degrees for many of us, perhaps a touch cooler if you do keep hold of that low cloud a little bit longer for north—east england and eastern scotland as well. now heading through saturday night. now, when we see the mist and fog reforming again, sea fog once again piling in for the likes of the murray firth north—east england as well. and temperatures remaining on the mild side, frost free, certainly heading on into sunday morning. so sunday, a very similar sort of day really again, predominantly dry and morning mist and fog which will slowly break up and burn back towards the coast. we'll perhaps hold on to a little bit more in the way of cloud across northern parts of scotland with one or two showers and the chance of the odd shower cropping up further south across england and wales, perhaps one or two into northern ireland. but the vast majority actually looking dry, 21—22 degrees in the warmest spots, a little bit cooler around some of those east coasts, again. and moving through into monday, we've got low pressure trying to move in from the atlantic, but also from the near continent as well. and there's more of a chance that that's going to bring some rain from tuesday into wednesday. so i think a little bit more unsettled through the middle of next week. and then a hint that things turn

a little drier and warmer again towards the end of the week. bye— bye.
