�*and say, ok, let's breath of air and say, ok, let's take the emotion out of this, let's get the intel community, the military in here and let's assess what has happened, and i think that is where you will find the united states and the uk and the israelis currently doing over the course of the next 2a hours to make sure that rather than make a mistake in the fog of war, that you act on reasonable and reliable intelligence to bring about a solution to suing the southern border of israel, to make sure that we don't have any more incursions in the north. and finding a peaceful solution to this very difficult quagmires that we find ourselves in. joe biden has been talking in last few minutes. i want to bring you an update. these are the lines were getting from the agencies, at least 11 americans among those killed. i
9:31 pm
directed my team to work with israeli counterparts in every aspect of the hostage crisis. that includes sharing intelligence and deploying experts from across the united states should consult with and advise israeli counterparts. and while we're still working to confirm this we believe it is likely that american citizens may be among those being held by hamas. he is also mentioning, a white house statement this is confirmed, at the bottom he warns not to open a new front on israel for the ii warns not to open a new front on israel for the 11 dead, certainly american citizens among the hostages, a warning to his brother it not to get involved in the fighting. i want to talk about the deal that jake sullivan, the national security adviser was negotiating with israel in saudi arabia. it's no means done but it was progressing. the saudis were optimistic for the as was jake
9:32 pm
sullivan who invested amount of time with it. perhaps all signs have taken their eye off the occupation territories with up here he is just days ago discussing the security situation in the wider middle east. we want to depressurized, d express and integrate the middle east region. the war is in yemen is in its 19 month truce. for now the iranian attacks against us forces of stock put up our presence in iraq is stable, i emphasise for now because all of that can change. the middle east region is quieter today than it has been in two decades. geopolitically israel is in the strongest position for decades. the trump organisation signed the accords between israel, black rain, the ua in morocco. a deal potentially with saudi arabia. if you were hamas to the very existence of israel you'll be feeling increasingly isolated. these deals catch up without any consistent to
9:33 pm
the palestinians was quite the reverse, the settlers in the west bank would take more linkable for palestinians. perhaps a renewed conflict with israel was from their perspective the only way to shake the arab world from its complacency. a senior resident scholar with the arab dell state institute in washington talking to me about this little earlier. the washington talking to me about this little earlier. . ., , washington talking to me about this little earlier.— little earlier. the hamas attack is d designed _ little earlier. the hamas attack is d designed to _ little earlier. the hamas attack is d designed to create _ little earlier. the hamas attack is d designed to create a _ little earlier. the hamas attack is d designed to create a cascadingl d designed to create a cascading series of events that could lead to such an eventuality. what they are hoping for in the short run is for the violence to spread into the west bank and eastjerusalem to inspire people, whoever it is in the west bank or gaza with arms, with the capability of striking israel to do that. i think they are hoping that israel's overreaction that it's disproportionality is going to kick in and they'll commit all kinds of atrocities in gaza, both from air
9:34 pm
and onto the ground. and this will inspire outrage in the west bank and there will be violence there too. at that point it becomes easier for his brother to step in and say they are defending the mosque, east jerusalem, the holy places they are. it's all baked in because hamas is already branded this as the flood or the operation. they are already trying to link this entirely gaza based in southern israel based violence to jerusalem. based in southern israel based violence tojerusalem. why? because it hogs at the heartstrings of muslims all the way to indonesia and nigeria. and they want to create the conditions where his brother can intervene, start firing missiles with some kind ofjustification to other lebanese. with some kind of 'ustification to other lebanese.— other lebanese. possible geopolitical. _ other lebanese. possible geopolitical. you - other lebanese. possible geopolitical. you talked i other lebanese. possible - geopolitical. you talked about failing leadership across the board but here's the administration trying to find some way to bring countries

closer together in the middle east, saudi arabia, israel, trumpet ministry and did much the same with those three countries. that's the americans trying in the absence of a two state solution to find something that changes the status quo. it is the militant group that's undermining it.- the militant group that's undermining it. the militant group that's underminin: it. , ., ., ., �* undermining it. yes or no. i don't think saudi _ undermining it. yes or no. i don't think saudi arabia _ undermining it. yes or no. i don't think saudi arabia should - undermining it. yes or no. i don't think saudi arabia should be - undermining it. yes or no. i don't i think saudi arabia should be treated like some civilised rationalize state for kills its own citizens are being gay. is carrying out huge atrocities in yemen. accusing the un of committing war crimes in yemen. i don't think we need to talk too much of our saudi arabia being a serious partner in this when... it’s of our saudi arabia being a serious partner in this when. . ._ partner in this when... it's an enormous — partner in this when... it's an enormous shift. _ partner in this when... it's an enormous shift. saudi - partner in this when... it's an enormous shift. saudi arabia | partner in this when... it's an - enormous shift. saudi arabia doesn't want the destruction of israel, that is a step in the right direction to finding peace. {iii is a step in the right direction to finding peace-— is a step in the right direction to finding peace. of course that's a aood finding peace. of course that's a good thing- _ finding peace. of course that's a good thing- i'm _ finding peace. of course that's a good thing. i'm not _ finding peace. of course that's a good thing. i'm not sure - finding peace. of course that's a
9:36 pm
good thing. i'm not sure saudi i good thing. i'm not sure saudi arabia has played a role in trying to achieve that anyway. there isn't, i'm afraid... there's this horrible phrase that's quite stark that no justice, no peace. you'll never get peace in the absence ofjustice was up peace in the absence ofjustice was up there is not been justice for the palestinian people. they are treated like second—class citizens on their land. they are under seizure, under occupation, there is a ethnic cleansing going on in the west bank where people are being forced out of their homes for settlements. how would you expect peace in that situation regardless of everything going on in the middle east? that was never gonna solve it. there wider reason to try and integrate, i agree with that. but you can't ignore the injustice of palestine and was being done to those people over decades. until that's resolved there won't be a peaceful situation. ron, one quick mention of a bit of politics in washington today. kevin mccarthy talked about the axis of

9:39 pm
that we had a feisty conversation but i think you've both covered it well. i'm really gratefulfor your thoughts on what is happening was that people will get in touch and have their views on social media. let's move onto other issues. let's talk about where andrew is today. the labour party, 17 points ahead in the polls. like an impossible lead. that sounds like a massive lead, impossible for the conservatives to reverse, and quite possibly it is. they've made no progress in the last 12 months, and last week's conservative party conference appears to have had zero effect on the polls. however, we do have to remember that the labour party is facing some adverse electoral geography with the boundary maps being redrawn, and on current estimate probably needs about is—point lead to be sure of returning to power. that is the context of the race a year out, and perhaps explains why the labour leader, sir keir starmer, is being cautious. today in liverpool at the start of the conference, it was an opportunity for the shadow chancellor rachel reeves to set out her growth plan and to reassure the business community that labour can be trusted. if we want to spur investment,
9:40 pm
restore economic security and revive growth, then we must get britain building again. the tories would have you believe we can't build anything in britain any more. in fact, the single biggest obstacle to building infrastructure, to investment and to growth in this country is the conservative party itself. since 2012, decision times for national infrastructure have increased by 65%, now taking four years. with labour, that will change, so today, i am announcing our plans to get britain building. rachel reeves beacon earlier. everybody in labour at the moment seems to be disciplined, the messages tightly controlled, you can trust us if we're elected. i am wondering if there is a gap between those on the stage in the floor that think we've got a 17 point lead here, we can be more ambitious, bold in the message. i here, we can be more ambitious, bold in the message-—
9:41 pm
in the message. i think there is that aa-. in the message. i think there is that gap- it's — in the message. i think there is that gap. it's more _ in the message. i think there is that gap. it's more of _ in the message. i think there is that gap. it's more of an - in the message. i think there is | that gap. it's more of an anxiety in the message. i think there is . that gap. it's more of an anxiety at the moment. what rachel reeves set out today when out really well for the positive message about you have to investigate growth, similar to what biden has done in the us with the inflation reduction act. subsidies, investments in green technology, also acting as a boost to growth, which we desperately need in this country. britain has grown an average ofjust i% in 15 years since the banking crash. she is right to concentrate on bat. the anxiety i think from the labour party members is that there wasn't a lot of talk about public services. huge crisis in the nhs, social care, and a hell, in our schools, teacher recruitment hasn't met its target year on year. when you look at the court, the backlog, the backlog in processing claims right across the public sector there is crisis. and where's the money coming from for that? the anxiety is we've got to
9:42 pm
make the case of taxation. public services are quite literally in the case of some of our schools crumbling for them it needs investment now. not when growth comes on stream two years down the line, perhaps. comes on stream two years down the line. perhaps-— line, perhaps. that was the message we were getting _ line, perhaps. that was the message we were getting from _ line, perhaps. that was the message we were getting from sharon - line, perhaps. that was the message l we were getting from sharon graham, for general security of unite. talked about wealth task of the re—nationalization of energy. she says remold, rethink about how distribute the cake. and she sat somewhere in the back of the hall. that's part of the management of the message at the moment, isn't it? it's a very well—managed conference was a biting mina in positive and negative sense to be frank. sharon graham is right, her members have been on strike in a whole range of fields and of one better pay rises for their members. we've got the worst cost crisis in british
9:43 pm
recorded history. people are worse off now than they were in 2008. if your public sector worker you're earning £16 a week less than you were in 2010 in real terms. there is a real level of poverty. 600,000 extra children are living in poverty compared with 2010. there's a huge amount of human need that needs to be done. saying we will get growth is right, and having a better industrial strategy is right for the labour government will probably come in if the polls are right and i think they are because they all confirm it, they've got to do something immediately to resolve those crisis. if they don't they could lose popularity very quickly. does it feel to you like 92 when neil carrick was defeated, looking like he was going into downing street or feels like 97 to you? history never repeats but it feels more like 97. there are differences. there is not that others. i wasn't a
9:44 pm
huge tony blair fan, there is not that others. i wasn't a huge tony blairfan, i'll there is not that others. i wasn't a huge tony blair fan, i'll confess up at in 1996 there was a huge buzz for the people werejoining the labour party in the thousands. they wanted the tories out as they do now for the people were joining the the tories out as they do now for the people werejoining the labour party in the thousands. they wanted the tories out as they do now. they were in terms of investment, health, minimum wage, there were very tangible policies that improved peoples lives straightaway, as soon as the government came in for the windfall tax, the gordon brown brought in the first year. is that sort of thing that would unite the party that bit more around the program. the long—term strategy that rachel reeves set out is good, it's that short—term immediate need that i think people are concerned about. 0kay. thank you for that. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. let's look at some other stories making news. china's president xijinping has met the us senate majority leader chuck schumer as part of the latest
9:45 pm
high—level american visit to beijing. senator schumer is leading a bipartisan delegation intended to de—escalate tension. he earlier criticised china's response to the hamas attack on israel, saying he was disappointed by a lack of sympathy and support for the israelis. the uk's supreme court has begun hearing the government's challenge to a ruling which said the policy of sending some asylum—seekers to rwanda was unlawful. under the plan, which had been blocked by the court of appeal, asylum—seekers would be sent to the african country, where their cases would be determined. this year's nobel prize for economics has gone to claudia goldin from the united states. the royal swedish academy of sciences said the harvard university professor had advanced the understanding of how women impact labour markets. she is only the third woman to become a nobel economics laureate. congratulations to her.

9:49 pm
big investment of bmw building the electric many in this country. just chopping and changing like that has really disrupted some businesses. can't they get on with it anyway? if you sets assembly lines are electric you sets assembly lines are electric you don't shift because sunak says were going to 2025, do you? know you don't. were going to 2025, do you? know you don't- clearly — were going to 2025, do you? know you don't. clearly electric _ were going to 2025, do you? know you don't. clearly electric cars _ were going to 2025, do you? know you don't. clearly electric cars are - don't. clearly electric cars are coming in anyway. i think there are good environmental and industrial investment reasons why we should change quicker. i think there's an advantage for britain to become first mover advantage. i think europe has a later target of 2035. if we can get in there first and concentrate some investment in our country that's a good thing. i think stability is always good. going back to that 2030 is notjust for the global climate but local peoples longs electric cars don't pump out carbon emissions and that's a good

thing. the sooner the better. i’ee thing. the sooner the better. i've ureatl thing. the sooner the better. i've greatly enjoyed your conversation tonight for that you've restored my faith in left — right debate. thank you very much. we will see you tomorrow. hello, from the bbc sport centre. cricket could get another global stage as organisers of the los angeles olympics are asking for it to be included in 2028. it would be a remarkable return for the sport, which last featured at the paris games in 1900. at the ongoing cricket world cup, there was another convincing display from new zealand, making it two wins from two to maintain their perfect record. they beat the netherlands by 99 runs, following up from their victory over champions england in their opener. drew savage reports.
9:51 pm
new zealand impressed while the dutch gave pakistan a fry. largely stayed away. they missed poor quality kiwi batting, devon conaway and william got on top of the game from the start. rachin ravindra also impressed, 7 different players hit a six — it's 8 years since a team last did that at a world cup a late flurry from mitch santner helped set the netherlands a target of 323, which they've never managed in a 50 over gameand the dutch found themselves penned in by the new zealand bowlers santner leading the way. the men in orange had to hit out, but when they did it backfired, thanks to the juggling skills of a relieved trent boult. santner says he didn't bowl that well, but if you take 5 wickets for 59 runs, you're a hit with your team—mates. the netherlands finally ran out of batters three and a half overs before the end, a 99—run victory for a dominant new zealand.
9:52 pm
disappointment then for the dutch, but the black caps are not getting carried away with their victories at this early stage. we knew that turnout today after the highs of beating england, we can't get too complacent. we know the netherlands are a good team and they almost. pretty touched up pakistan the other day. it was obviously nice to get the w tonight. another two points but you gotta move on pretty quickly in this tournament. defending champions england are back in action on tuesday, when they face bangladesh. ahead of the match in dharamshala, captainjos buttler has questioned the sandy, patchy outfield, asking if the poor state of it impacts the integrity of the game. injuries can happen at any time on any surface — injuries can happen at any time on any surface. but i think it's definitely one where you can have to be a definitely one where you can have to he a little _ definitely one where you can have to be a little bit careful, which isn't what _ be a little bit careful, which isn't what you — be a little bit careful, which isn't what you want to be doing playing for your— what you want to be doing playing for your country. you want to put your— for your country. you want to put your body— for your country. you want to put your body on the line and try to

9:54 pm
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, but he was pegged back and lost the second while serving to stay in the match. two sets to love in 2.5 hours. alcaraz will play grigor dimitrov in the last 16. england's matt fitzpatrick won the individual and team event at the alfred dunhill links championship in scotland. the tournament was reduced to 54 holes after saturday and sunday were a washout. fitzpatrick finished at 19—under for his three rounds. that also gave him and his mother susan the best net score of 35—under
9:55 pm
to win the team tournament by five shots. and that's all the sport for now. hello. it's been another warm day in the south, but a drier day, notably for scotland, however, still, we've had numerous flood warnings in for severe flood warnings as well across parts of scotland. the sepa, which is the scottish environment protection agency, has got more on those flood warnings and also on the weather website. there's another warning in force actually, because although it's been drier today, this weather front still draped across from scotland to northern england will start to pep up again. so another pulse of heavy rain is due in during tonight and tomorrow. for the meantime, the weather front that we do have is pushing back northwards. that will bring some rain across the northern isles, but it trails back in across the west and invigorates overnight. so we are talking another 15 to 25
9:56 pm
millimetres to come from that, possibly 40 to 50 over the hills through the course of tuesday. so it's going to be mild because the breeze picks up. it's going to be mild in the south because it will fill in with mist and low cloud and some fog under this ridge of high pressure, which will mean quite light winds. first things that fogs with us through the rush hour. stronger winds, though, picking up with this rain further north. the rain, though, the main story because it's falling on saturated ground into rivers that are still full and still coming. the rain still coming down from the mountains as well. so we are anticipating further issues with flooding. now, further south, we will see some of that rain in northern ireland's not quite as warm here as today, but it will feel warmer further south. there could be some showers, actually, northern england, northwest. and there's a brisk wind, as you can see tomorrow. now, that brisk wind turns to the northwest as we get through tomorrow night and into wednesday, just pushing our weather front further south. so for some parts, wednesday into thursday, we'll see the first rain that we've seen all 0ctober, not altogether dry. rain that we've seen all 0ctober, not altogether dry further north, but a fresh start. a brighter start and a scattering
9:57 pm
of showers on that brisk wind, 12 to 14. quite a dip in temperatures, still warm even with the rain further south, which hangs around that rain, albeit rather a weak affair on thursday. a weak affair on thursday, but it starts to pep up again on friday with low pressure driving in from the south. another went the front, driving in from the north. so we've got low pressure in charge by the end of the week, which for one reason or another does look as if we'll see some unsettled weather and we'll see some rain, perhaps the first this month for some towns and cities further south. as ever, you can keep up to date on the warnings and the flood warnings online.
9:58 pm
