thank you: thanks, lyse. that's bbc news at six. you can keep up with all the latest developments unfolding in israel and gaza on the bbc website. from the six team it's goodbye. the news continues here on bbc one, as now it's time let's go live to gaza as the bombardments continue for cut off the gaza strip. bombardments have continued throughout the day. benjamin netanyahu to warn that they will use enormous force against the hamas militant group. evidence of attacks are visible on the night

sky. they have been continuing throughout the day, since israel began striking gaza after the attacks which have left 900 people deadin attacks which have left 900 people dead in israel. the defence minister earlier ordered a complete siege of the gaza strip, cutting up food, fuel, electricity and water supplies, in addition to those aerial attacks that you can see the evidence of their ankles live pictures. we are staying with that top story. israel is locking down the gaza strip, cutting off all deliveries of food, fuel and water. prime minister benjamin netanyahu says israel's response to saturday's attack by hamas will be terrible and will change the middle east. hamas is warning it will begin executing a hostage for every israeli strike on a civilian home carried out without warning.

israel spent the day trying to regain control of parts of the south of the country. much of the activity has centred on ashkelon, close to the border with the gaza strip. anna foster has sent this report. air raid siren. series of explosions. there's a huge barrage going on overhead just at the moment. we have taken cover. this is... it's actually a memorial building. you can see we're all here. there's nick, he's got our camera. yeah, we're going to move. get down, get down. when the sirens started, i was talking to gilad. he'd been at the music festival where more than 250 people were massacred, as hamas launched its attack on saturday morning.

shrapnel tore past his head. he was lucky to survive. the bullet went through here and to out here. so it went in... yeah, you can see it went in and out. yes. explosions. people living here know these moments of fear well. gilad and his mother didn't need words. we followed the smoke. we think this is where one of the missiles hit. ah. yeah, look, here in the ground. avi and anat�*s building doesn't have a bomb shelter, so the family hid in a stairwell. they told the children the explosions were thunder. "we need to be strong for them," avi told me,

"but who's going to take care of us?" we are not going to in londonjust outside downing street. what is happening there, lucy? the virtual had around — happening there, lucy? the virtual had around 2,000 _ happening there, lucy? the virtual had around 2,000 people, - happening there, lucy? the virtual. had around 2,000 people, members happening there, lucy? the virtual- had around 2,000 people, members of the britishjewish community, israelis living in the uk and just general supporters from any religion supporting israel. they have mostly now dispersed but some groups are still here waving flags and sinking. there was a speech from the chief rabbi of the uk, politicians and senior members of the community. speaking to people here, there is an enormous collective sense of grief,

anger and shock. almost everyone here has connections with israel, the british jewish here has connections with israel, the britishjewish community, almost everyone has relatives and friends. they know people who are in danger, people know relatives who have been killed, orfriends of people know relatives who have been killed, or friends of the relatives who have been killed. everyone is on whatsapp groups checking in with their relatives and on people who had to move out of dangerous areas. there is a real sense of shock and helplessness. people are just not sure how to help relatives and friends. people are light and memorial candles, some people are praying. there was a real cross—section across the community, jews, nonreligiousjews, people from the left of politics, their rights. people coming together over this

absolutely senseless killing. i had absolutely senseless killing. i had a very difficult today with the man who has been living in london for 20 years. he now fears his mother has been kidnapped and to gaza. he has seen videos of gunmen around her house but he doesn't know where she is. those are the types of stories that we are hearing. it is a very difficult time for the british jewish community here and for israelis living in london and across the uk. ., ~ _, israelis living in london and across the uk. ., ~ i. _ as we reported earlier, the israeli defence minister, yoav gallant, has said that the blockade on the gaza strip will be tightened into a full siege to prevent food and fuel being brought in. one such organisation in gaza that has been struggling with this is the united nations relief and works agency for palestine refugees. over 70,000 displaced

people are currently sheltering in unrwa shelters. people are currently one such shelter, a school was severly damaged in an air strike earlier today. i'm joined from athens by juliette touma, who's the director of communications at the unrwa. we were meant to speak to one of your colleagues earlier in gaza. we want able to. let us know what happened to, i hope she is safe. yes, that's right. so far she is safe but she and many other colleagues have had to take cover in one of the un bunkers in the city of gaza, in one of our offices there, so she could be with you today. the numbers of those displaced who have sought shelter in our schools has doubled overnight. we have registered nearly 140,000 people in our schools, all have fled to our school is in search of safety. it

can be difficult to describe the exact situation the people are having to deal with, but can you paint a picture for us what people are going through in the shelters? from what we hear from our staff are selves, they are terrified, really very scared and worried for their safety and the safety of their children, their relatives, their families, their loved ones. for many of them this is the sixth time that they are living through an escalation of violence, so they are really terrified.— really terrified. how much harder gaza, no really terrified. how much harder gaza. no food — really terrified. how much harder gaza, no food or _ really terrified. how much harder gaza, no food or fuel— really terrified. how much harder gaza, no food or fuel coming - really terrified. how much harder gaza, no food or fuel coming in, | really terrified. how much harder - gaza, no food or fuel coming in, how gaza, no food orfuel coming in, how much charter does it make it for you to operate and how would you still be able to get sufficient aid to people who need it?— be able to get sufficient aid to people who need it? gaza has been under blockade _ people who need it? gaza has been under blockade for _ people who need it? gaza has been under blockade for the _ people who need it? gaza has been under blockade for the last - people who need it? gaza has been under blockade for the last 16 - under blockade for the last 16 years, which is why the number of

people who rely on the un refugee agency for the palestinians has increased massively over the past few years, for example 1.2 million people rely on the food assistance which we had to stop because of the escalation. a lot of people go to our schools, escalation. a lot of people go to ourschools, in escalation. a lot of people go to our schools, in fact 300,000 children go to our schools. the levels of poverty have reached more than 60%. for the 7th of october at the situation was very, very difficult. we worry that a further tightening will make a situation thatis tightening will make a situation that is very bad far, far worse, especially for civilians, among the many women and children. it is especially for civilians, among the many women and children.- many women and children. it is a complex. — many women and children. it is a complex, difficult _ many women and children. it is a complex, difficult situation, - many women and children. it is a complex, difficult situation, but i complex, difficult situation, but what is your biggest concern at this time? what worries you the most? the safe of time? what worries you the most? tue: safety of people, time? what worries you the most? tte: safety of people, the time? what worries you the most? t"te: safety of people, the safety time? what worries you the most? tte: safety of people, the safety of civilians, the safety of our staff.

unrwa has 13,000 people who have been working with us for many years. they are the people who provide services, including schooling, health, sanitation among others, so the biggest concern is the protection and safety of civilians, women and children, including our own staff. the second concern is the humanitarian access. for us to have unlimited humanitarian access in and out of gaza, which is not happening at the moment. we have staff at the moment you are not able to get out of gaza and we are not able to get into gaza. a, of gaza and we are not able to get into gaza. �* ., ., , , ., into gaza. a lot of this is not new, but there is _ into gaza. a lot of this is not new, but there is a _ into gaza. a lot of this is not new, but there is a lot _ into gaza. a lot of this is not new, but there is a lot about _ into gaza. a lot of this is not new, but there is a lot about this - but there is a lot about this particular attack that is unprecedented. how optimistic are you about a humanitarian corridor being created so you can get in? test being created so you can get in? git the moment the united nations is calling for the fighting to come to an end and for the protection of

civilians and for civilian infrastructure, including schools, hospitals, places of worship. the fighting has to stop everywhere. juliet, thank you very much. joining us from the united nations agency for palestine refugees. the conflict is already drawing in israel's neighbours. the israeli army says that its forces have killed several gunmen who crossed into israeli territory from lebanon its troops were backed up by helicopter gunships. the armed wing of the palestinian islamistjihad movement has claimed responsibility for the incursion from lebanon. the iranian—backed lebanese militant group his brotherfired missiles and artillery shells into israel from southern lebanon "in solidarity" with hamas. no—one was reported hurt. israel responded by firing

into the launch area. 0ur correspondent rami ruhayem is close to the israeli border with lebanon from where he gave us the latest. this is day two of an extremely tense and volatile situation in southern lebanon. they said this was both an act of solidarity with palestinian factions fighting israel, as well as a step to liberate shebaa farms, which lebanon considers occupied lebanese territory. today it has been relatively quiet in this area, but further west along the border, there have been clashes between gunmen, not and the israeli army. and the israeli army has shelled several areas in south lebanon in response. one of the biggest questions in lebanon and in the region is will there be another front?

will they enter this conflict in a much larger way than it did yesterday? the americans have been clear that this is a scenario they are trying to prevent at all costs, that they want to deter hezbollah, on the other hand, has said has made very clear that it is not neutral in this struggle and has left open the possibility that it mightjoin the fight. meanwhile, tension persists all along the border. as violence between israel and gaza intensifies, international concerns are raised over the conflict spilling across the middle east. regional powers like saudi arabia historically supported palestian rights. to discuss the geopolitical

implications of this conflict let us now speak to professor simon mabon, a professor of international relations at the university of lancaster. why has this happened now some say could be to do with that normalisation is of the relationships between israel and saudi arabia. {lit relationships between israel and saudi arabia.— relationships between israel and saudi arabia. of course, there is the domestic— saudi arabia. of course, there is the domestic dimensions - saudi arabia. of course, there is| the domestic dimensions relating saudi arabia. of course, there is . the domestic dimensions relating to hamas's reduced legitimacy with the west bank, whose people are frustrated with its political activities. the second is it is the anniversary of the 1973 war, whereas egyptian and syrian troops invaded israel, and symbolically that is incredibly important. of course you

also have the saudi normalisation efforts with israel. this appeared to be moving up quite a pace. saudi arabia appeared to be moving closer and closer to normalising with israel. it may be when you put all these dimensions together, hamas sensed an opportunity to derail the saudi normalisation efforts at the same time as increasing its own legitimacy across the west bank. we are also saying hezbollah has launched missiles into israel. with; launched missiles into israel. why would they get — launched missiles into israel. tfh�*ty would they get involved? launched missiles into israel. tve�*ty would they get involved? hamas launched missiles into israel. rtety would they get involved? hamas has long positioned itself at the vanguard of resistance against israel. it emerged as a consequence of the israeli invasion of south lebanon in the early 1980s and some israeli commanders said that if their presence hadn't been in lebanon there would be no hezbollah, so the two have a very complex, symbiotic relationship. hezbollah

has often engaged in military, violent responses and engagement with israel. now with hamas positioning itself right at the front line, taking the fight to israel, hezbollah has taken the opportunity to remind others of its resistance credentials, predominantly meaning fighting against the state of israel. this hamas attack _ against the state of israel. this hamas attack into _ against the state of israel. this hamas attack into israel - against the state of israel. this hamas attack into israel was very sophisticated, clearly planned. many have been pointing a finger at iran as being involved in this effort. iran has denied that. what do you make about how involved iran might have been? tt is make about how involved iran might have been? , ., _ ., , , have been? it is easy to see why --eole have been? it is easy to see why people migrate _ have been? it is easy to see why people migrate to _ have been? it is easy to see why people migrate to those - have been? it is easy to see why - people migrate to those conclusions. this was a sophisticated attack, an attack that had not been conducted before by hamas before, that suggests they have received

additional help. iran has long been additional help. iran has long been a supporter of hamas and hezbollah, long been an advocate of palestinians fighting against israel is what it calls the resistance access. in this case it would be deeply surprising if iran was directly responsible for planning or masterminding these attacks. iran has been trying to improve its relations with saudi arabia. iran has been working to reintegrate itself with regional politics in such an attack would derail a lot of those efforts. it is also worth noting that the israelis themselves officially have said there is no evidence to support the claim that iran is behind this at present. let's talk about israel's response. we can save the live pictures from gaza which is being continuously struck from the air. where do you think israel could go with their response to what has happened, this

biggest loss of life in a very long time in israel? the biggest loss of life in a very long time in israel?— biggest loss of life in a very long time in israel? we have heard this wor in: time in israel? we have heard this worrying rhetoric _ time in israel? we have heard this worrying rhetoric from _ time in israel? we have heard this worrying rhetoric from benjamin i worrying rhetoric from benjamin netanyahu and those close to him as opening the gates of hell and a response unlike anything the palestinians have ever seen. that doesn't feel anyone with confidence that this will be a restrained operation. 0nce that this will be a restrained operation. once this first phase has been completed, once the militants have been pushed out of southern israel and wants any prisoners have been reclaimed, there will be a huge military invasion of gaza. that is an incredibly disconcerting proposition in the sense that gaza is heavily populated, one of the most urban populated places on the planet. it is a small, crowded space and we have already seen the devastation that air strikes have taken and the devastation that has been sought and imposed on the people of gaza and a military

incursion from the ground up will be even worse for the people of gaza. there has also been a concerning signalfrom hamas there has also been a concerning signal from hamas saying they will execute the civilians that they have as hostages in retaliation for israeli strikes. how consequential is this development? tt is israeli strikes. how consequential is this development?— is this development? it is really disconcerting — is this development? it is really disconcerting in _ is this development? it is really disconcerting in the _ is this development? it is really disconcerting in the sense - is this development? it is really disconcerting in the sense thatl is this development? it is really| disconcerting in the sense that it is hard to see add de—escalation at present. all parties are caught in a very heated, emotionally charged set of dynamics that can lead to a rapid escalation from an already fraught and escalated situation.— escalation from an already fraught and escalated situation. thank you very much. — and escalated situation. thank you

very much, professor. _ simon is the author of the book �*the struggle for supremacy in the middle east saudi arabia and iran.�* so, benjamin netanyahu warning that retribution will be fierce and enormous force will be used against hamas. 2436 macro having targeted today. hello there and welcome along to sportsday and we start with the cricket world cup — where another convincing display from new zealand saw them pull clear at the top of the table. they beat the netherlands by 99 runs, following up from their victory over champions england in their opener.

drew savage reports. the crowd stayed away, but they missed some quality new zealand batting. seven different players hit to sex, it is eight years since a team lasted that at the world cup. a late flurry from mitchell santner set a target of 323 for the netherlands. the dutch found themselves penned in by the new zealand bowlers. the men in orange had to hit out, but when they did it backfired. thanks to the juggling skills of our relieved trent boult. mitchell santner said he didn't bowl that well, but if you take five wickets for 59 runs, you are a hit with your team—mates. the netherlands finally ran out of battery 3.5 overs before the end. and 99 run victory for a dominant new zealand. max verstappen secured his third formula one world championship at the qatar grand prix

new mouthguards have been introduced that could help rugby with concussions. rugby has been struggling with this accidental crisis about this problem in the sport. so a player would wear a mouth guard with bluetooth technology and if they took a collision then it would be transmitted to the pitch side doctor who would be able to gather the data and see if any of the force of the impact had gone to —— above a certain threshold. a player takes 25 hits over a certain threshold per game, for example, if they went over that or if it was so far over, the player would be permanently removed or come off for a head injury

assessment. it could be a very significant moment for the sport. there will be a lot of devil in the detail without the data is used, but the authorities feel it is a step in the authorities feel it is a step in the right direction. carlos alcaraz beat britain's dan evans in at the shanghai masters but it was far from straightforward. the world number two came from a break down in the first set to force a tie—break against evans. and after taking the first point of that with some great defensive work and a cross—court winner, the spaniard stayed in control to edge ahead in their third round match. evans was far from done, though, he broke alcaraz again early in the next set. he lost the second while serving to stay in the match. alcaraz will play grigor dimitrov in the last 16. the women's champions league continues this week amid some controversy over the competition format, with big names including arsenal and juventus missing out,

having lost in the first round. manchester united, making their debut in the competition, face psg, before the group stage proper. their former playerjackie groenen will be lining up for the french side, and she disagrees with how the rounds have played out. for the draw, i think it is a bit strange how everything is working at the moment, big teams going out, like you say, in the kind of pre—phase of the champions league. uefa has postponed all matches scheduled in israel for the next couple of weeks following the devastating events in the country this weekend. european football's governing body said in a statement, "in light of the current security situation in israel, the following games

will be postponed — thursday's european qualifier against switzerland, two under—21 internationals and an under—17 mini tournament involving israel, belgium, gibraltar and wales. uefa say they will wait to decide whether next sunday's qualifer in kosovo will go ahead. former england and manchester united star wayne rooney has been linked with the vacant manager's position at birmingham city after they parted company with head coachjohn eustace. rooney left his role as coach of mls side dc united over the weekend. seven—time super bowl champion tom brady is a minority owner of the championship side who lie sixth in the table. stephanie frappart will become the first female official to oversee a men's international match at wembley when she takes charge of england's friendly with australia on friday. the french official became the first woman to referee a men's world cup fixture at last year's tournament in qatar. she's also taken charge of second and top tier matches in france — as well as the champions league back in 2020.

and that's all the sport for now.
