hello, i'm christian fraser. you're watching the context on bbc news. moving more thani million people across a densely populated wars across a densely populated warzone into a place with no water or accommodation, where the entire territory is under siege is extremely dangerous and, in some cases, simply not possible. all of my neighbours and families are evacuating their homes, but we don't know where we can go, no shelters, no safe places now in gaza. all gaza under attack. we have onlyjust started. our enemies have only started paying the price and i will not go into further detail about what still lies ahead. we're making sure israel has what it needs to defend itself and respond to these attacks. it's also a priority for me to urgently address the humanitarian crisis in gaza.

the israeli army is conducting localised raids in northern gaza, wherei million palestinians were told today to relocate ahead of a much bigger ground operation that is expected. in a day of rage ordered by hamas, there were protests across the middle east, and more rockets fired from gaza towards tel aviv. with me on the panel tonight — sunday columnist and deputy political editor at the mail on sunday, anna mikhailova. also here from atlanta, the attorney and democratic strategist, chris bruce. in the next few minutes we will get the thoughts of the former israeli prime minister, ehud olmert. and we will bring you up to speed with the chaos in the us house of representatives where republicans are still struggling to appoint a speaker. good evening. the israel's military has ordered the evacuation

of more than 1 million palestinians from the northern section of the gaza strip, a move the united nations has described as "calamitous". the 24—hour deadline provoked a desperate scramble with families using every remaining mode of transport, cars, scooters, donkey carts, to escape the continued bombardment a ground invasion that is surely imminent. hamas has been urging the population to stay put, do not give up your homes, said the instruction. at the el shifa hospital in gaza city where thousands of wounded palestinians are in desperate need of help, doctors say they will risk the consequences to stay with their patients. but there is very little fuel are very few medical supplies. mahmoud abbas, who today met with secretary blinken injordan, says he is coordinating with international parties to try and secure a "safe corridor" to deliver humanitarian aid through the rafah crossing between gaza and egypt. we have just heard from president

biden he's in philadelphia this afternoon. i don't think i've ever heard an american presidentstand so full square behind the israeli is what do you think that spells for the palestinians because i don't care for many western allies, any element of restraint? but care for many western allies, any element of restraint?— element of restraint? but this really comes _ element of restraint? but this really comes down _ element of restraint? but this really comes down to - element of restraint? but this really comes down to is - element of restraint? but this - really comes down to is president biden once betrayed, from his administration, the thoughts in prayers for those who have been lost in this time period. so let's put that into perspective. prayer should be put out for everyone. people are dying in this area. president biden using this and including battleships in the region is notjust to put a focus or a lens on what is happening with palestinians, but for people in the rest of the region. yet for secretary of defence inter—secretary of state there. the secretary of defence is there to let people know,

in that region, other countries, that if they try to do something to israel, there will be fit with the full retaliation of the united states military. while the of the secretary of state affect trying to get humanitarian aid in this dire crisis. so the president is playing, almost both sides here. he's trying to say, this could be an absolute massacre of people again, innocent people, dying, but also saying that he is standing by the israeli government. fix, he is standing by the israeli government.— he is standing by the israeli government. a lot of people have said to be on _ government. a lot of people have said to be on social— government. a lot of people have said to be on social media - government. a lot of people have said to be on social media today | said to be on social media today that the un makes a lot of demands of israel to protect and defend the palestinians which they should, but what demands are they making of hamas who are still holding 150 hostages? the un actually did say in the last hour that they should be released immediately. there is no sign from hamas that it will clear out that northern area to protect civilians or indeed return hostages. we should remember that. the other auestion is

providing — one, and conflicts going in and providing that humanitarian aid so there's— providing that humanitarian aid so there's a — providing that humanitarian aid so there's a lot of soap boxing moments going _ there's a lot of soap boxing moments going around but not enough action. the israeti _ going around but not enough action. the israeli government says the objective of the ground incursion will be to decapitate hamas and its ability to launch future attacks. so what is it that they will be focused on? first and foremost it is the network of hamas tunnels that stretch beneath the areas of the strip. listen to this from the israeli defence spokesperson minister. the gaza strip has one layer for the civilians, and then another layer for hamas. and what we are doing now is, we are trying to get to that second layer that hamas has built. the israelis refer to this underground network as "the metro". in 2001 they claimed to have destroyed more than iookm of tunnels, which is entirely possible. 2021 that should be. hamas has a committee in charge of tunnelling. and i saw for myself in 2008 they are pretty good at this. these were the tunnels that ran from beneath

the border wall in rafah. some starting in houses on the egyptian side, some of them well disguised in the undergrowth. they are of varying sizes, you see here. some you can track the equipment through some you could drive a car through. hamas raises tax from the stuff that comes through the tunnels. and of course it will use them to hide the hostages they hold. the israelis are dropping bunker buster bombs to reach the depths of these tunnels, motor—driven rockets that will penetrate 30m below the surface. but the shock wave from an explosion like that is truly devestating, the walls of this house. so a complex operation, plenty of collateral damage to civilians and civilian infrastructure, and a very difficult and dangerous place to engage hamas fighters. i'm joined now by the former

israeli prime minister, ehud olmert. it is good to see you and thank you for coming on. it is good to see you and thank you for coming om— it is good to see you and thank you for coming on._ do i it is good to see you and thank you l for coming on._ do you for coming on. good evening. do you have enough — for coming on. good evening. do you have enough confidence _ for coming on. good evening. do you have enough confidence in _ for coming on. good evening. do you have enough confidence in the - have enough confidence in the israeli government to restore morale and israel but this operation they are planning? i’m and israel but this operation they are planning?— are planning? i'm not sure that i have full trust _ are planning? i'm not sure that i have full trust in _ are planning? i'm not sure that i have full trust in the _ are planning? i'm not sure that i have full trust in the israeli - are planning? i'm not sure that i have full trust in the israeli to i have full trust in the israeli to restore different to the country but i very much trust the spirit of israeli people. they proved themselves together quickly in spite of the terrible atrocities committed against so many israelis, over 1500 israelis massacred, civilians. we are absolutely united in the determination to change the balance in our area determination to change the balance in ourarea and determination to change the balance in our area and to try and do

everything in order to remove hamas from continuing their dominance in gaza, which is an almost inevitable prescription for continued violence. would you accept that without fuel, under bombardment and under duress, these people that have been ordered to withdraw today, 1 million people, tjy to withdraw today, 1 million people, by the early hours of the morning, that that is actually an impossible task. you cannot get everyone out in the short space of time that the palestinian people that have been given. palestinian people that have been civen. , ., , , ., palestinian people that have been civen. , , ., ., , given. the problem is that hamas is embedded into _ given. the problem is that hamas is embedded into the _ given. the problem is that hamas is embedded into the centre, - given. the problem is that hamas is embedded into the centre, the - given. the problem is that hamas is | embedded into the centre, the urban centres in gaza. so what exactly should israel do? should wejust attack indiscriminately in every part of gaza, hoping that there will also be some casualties among hamas

or will be tracked use separate the civilian population from hamas which is not ready to move out. what we are trying to move out the people so that we can focus only on the terrorists. there will be means provided to the population that we move out of the urban centres in order to make sure that other humanitarian needs are met with in a reasonable manner. you humanitarian needs are met with in a reasonable manner.— reasonable manner. you were in charue of reasonable manner. you were in charge of the — reasonable manner. you were in charge of the israeli _ reasonable manner. you were inj charge of the israeli government reasonable manner. you were in i charge of the israeli government in 2008 and i was in the ground on gaza for operation led to during the time and you came under enormous pressure within i think a week to wrap up the conflict. the previous israeli governments hold any responsibility for what happened last weekend?

could you have gone further and completely decapitated hamas in 2008 and did you withdraw to early? absolutely, we did. it was an extraordinary political circumstance at the time. i was at the end of my term, the elections were already set for 3—4 weeks after the operation, therefore, it was the most impossible to carry on further. but i do not remember any pressures that came from the outside to stop this operation. the administration at the time and the europeans did not complain about the measures that we took. if you will recall, the day after we announced a cease—fire which was 17 days after the operation, all of the major leaders

of europe came to have dinner at the residence of the israeli prime minister injerusalem in support of what we did in defending the right of israel to act against terror and what will stem the trigger of the military operation is much different from what is today. no reasonable country in the world would have not reacted. perhaps a lot more violently... reacted. perhaps a lot more violently. . ._ reacted. perhaps a lot more violentl ., ., violently... the reason i asked the . uestion violently... the reason i asked the question is — violently... the reason i asked the question is because _ violently... the reason i asked the question is because the _ violently... the reason i asked the | question is because the statements you made at the time, to decapitate hamas, are the same statements we are hearing today. and it did not work. they came back, they regroup, they rearm. the eternal question in this circumstance and israel has had a war nearly every ten years on average. the eternal question is, what you do with palestinian society? you cannot get rid of all of them, you cannot forever have a subjugate them so how do you expect

a different outcome. what do you do stick it a different outcome? you ianore stick it a different outcome? you ignore the _ stick it a different outcome? you ignore the very _ stick it a different outcome? gm. ignore the very unique circumstances. the fact is we pulled out completely of gaza in 2005 we do not keep a one cm of palestinian land in gaza. the day after we pulled out the started treating with rockets across the border against israeli civilians. hamas, does not want to make, does not want to negotiate, does not want to compromise, it is a isis. it is al-qaeda, taliban, no difference. do you suggest, that your government was ready to negotiate with isis? accept what you're saying. that us have a part of the peace. but the point is, you have to find a partner for peace and i heard you say before

that you undermine the palestinian authority and perhaps give too much to hamas and it has come back to haunt israel. to hamas and it has come back to haunt israel-_ haunt israel. no. isuspect you seak to haunt israel. no. isuspect you speak to the — haunt israel. no. i suspect you speak to the wrong _ haunt israel. no. i suspect you speak to the wrong person i haunt israel. no. i suspect you speak to the wrong person on | haunt israel. no. i suspect you i speak to the wrong person on this matter. i present the palestinians in 2008 to the palestinian authority, the president, mahmoud abbas i presented him with a peace agreement which universally was recognised as the most forthcoming in creating a peace plan that was ever resented by israel to palestinians in the prisoner reason that the palestinians would not sign it and they did not sign it. so of course, we have to negotiate, there's no question about it. i have lots of difference with the president of the israeli government and i am part of the movement to to the government and which is engaged in the last few weeks against his

government in every corner of the country. one of the reasons we did this is because the refusal of netanyahu and his cabinet to negotiate with mahmoud abbas. with the palestinian authority. which is the palestinian authority. which is the only partner for a political solution for a two state solution which i support and still think today, that this is the only solution. but this will never happen if hamas will continue to dominate gaza. so the only possible way to eventually move towards peace is to remove hamas from the control of gaza and to negotiate, concurrently, right now, with the palestinian authority to try to make peace. just a final authority to try to make peace. just a final question. i speak tojewish friends here who have connections in israel and everyone is shattered by what has happened. where does this

take israel, politically? where does the psyche of the nation go when this is all over?— the psyche of the nation go when this is all over? very soon, prime minister netanyahu _ this is all over? very soon, prime minister netanyahu will _ this is all over? very soon, prime minister netanyahu will be i minister netanyahu will be overthrown, no question about it. he is finished. he is personally, directly responsible for this disaster and there were failures all across the board. notjust his but he is the prime responsible for what happened and in addition to what divided this country during the last year with such an unprecedented manner and because these riots and demonstrations of hundreds of thousands of israelis almost on a daily basis. so netanyahu is done. he is going to be kicked out, not in a very respectable manner. which will express the rage and the

distress and the disappointment in the feeling that he has done much too much and destroying the inner strengths of the solidarity of the israeli society. but that does not in any way relieve us from the responsibility that we have as a nation to make sure that those brutal terrorists that butchered, beheaded, raped the children and elderly people and israeli civilians will not be punished in the manner that hopefully will remove them from the dominance that they right now— gaza. the dominance that they right now- gaza. , ., ., ,~/ , gaza. grateful for your time this evenin: gaza. grateful for your time this evening thank— gaza. grateful for your time this evening thank you _ gaza. grateful for your time this evening thank you very - gaza. grateful for your time this evening thank you very much. . chris, could you respond to that, what did you think from the former

strong defence, army, strong intelligence... is crucial to the stability of the region so the concern now is that if israel is perceived to be weak, there will be threats on other sides. there could be one from his hezbollah and other fronts opening and hamas, to be clear, when they did this and went in, and clearly aimed to cause absolutely maximum terror and horror and terrorism and also psychological warfare, indications for decades and decades to come, they knew that they had to be a response. they knew israel would have to respond, militarily and a strong response at that. so that has to be factored in

notices for breaches of covid regulations in a party and conservative campaign headquarters in december 2020. the force reopened in december 2020. the force reopened in as investigation earlier this year. you're live with bbc news. some breaking news now. we havejust heard last few minutes that the republicans, the house republicans in washington have chosenjim jordan as their next nominee for the speakers chair. you may recall if you stop at length this morning that steve scalise, the majority leader could not get the votes needed to win. jim jordan could not get the votes needed to win. jimjordan in could not get the votes needed to win. jim jordan in your picture there, the runner—up in the first round of the ballot and now it seems to be back in the running. chris, what you make of that? let me be clear. what you make of that? let me be clear- the — what you make of that? let me be clear. the republican _ what you make of that? let me be clear. the republican party - what you make of that? let me be clear. the republican party is i what you make of that? let me be clear. the republican party is in i clear. the republican party is in complete — clear. the republican party is in complete disarray. at first it was funny— complete disarray. at first it was funny to — complete disarray. at first it was funny to try and figure out who will

evacuate saying that their staff are still treating patients amid intense bombardment. the hospital had initially been told to evacuate within two hours so that deadline has been extended a little but still, very, very difficult. let's talk to the ceo action aid uk with the hospital in gaza so you know it well. how do you uproot a hospital in two hours? i can't even think that's possible.— in two hours? i can't even think that's possible. exactly. so this is a 5-story building, _ that's possible. exactly. so this is a 5-story building, a _ that's possible. exactly. so this is a 5-story building, a maternity i a 5—story building, a maternity hospital so this is a hospital with mothers who have just had babies actually preemie babies as you can imagine and to the idea of evacuating women who have just had babies and trying to take medical supplies out in a context of lots of colleagues who can say they can hear bombs outside. it is obsolete terrifying to imagine how you evacuate the hospital where mothers have just had evacuate the hospital where mothers havejust had babies evacuate the hospital where mothers have just had babies and evacuate the hospital where mothers havejust had babies and even if you were able to evacuate, where you take them to. 1.2 million people

trying to move to another part of the country when in fact there is a blockade at the other end. gaza is the size of the isle of wight. can you imagine 1.2 million people moving,? one of you imagine 1.2 million people moving, ? one of the doctors you've been able to talk to have they been able to stay? we have been in touch with two of our doctors up until recently —— lost contact with them so there is no content any more because we know that they have started evacuating. before they went into the hospital they were saying that they could hear bombs. now they are in the hospital trying to evacuate, we have lost contact. he had two doctors there but they were already saying with the electricity going out, because of the bombs, already they cannot really work with the blood transfusions or medical equipment which was already in short supply snout it has all gone black. what we have heard from the fort office british government is that they actually else cleated with british authorities may with any

luck we can try and get some help out there but at the moment no contact. it is terrifying. i out there but at the moment no contact. it is terrifying.- contact. it is terrifying. ishould ask ou contact. it is terrifying. ishould ask you at _ contact. it is terrifying. i should ask you at the _ contact. it is terrifying. i should ask you at the top _ contact. it is terrifying. i should ask you at the top you - contact. it is terrifying. i should| ask you at the top you know how contact. it is terrifying. i should i ask you at the top you know how many patients are in this hospital? taste patients are in this hospital? we don't patients are in this hospital? - don't know because we are getting speculating information about who is out there because it is quite chaotic but it is a maternity hospital, a large provincial... do they have power for incubators? because they bombs have already break that electricity so there is no power so even if you were managing evacuation, how are you going to help others who have just had babies, get across. imagine the chaos of 1.2 million people trying to get to a border that is already blocked. to we've been trying to offer counselling and support to them already present our work on the ground to offer counselling. and if they cannot evacuate, where were they cannot evacuate, where were they evacuate to?— they evacuate to? thank you for cominu they evacuate to? thank you for coming on _ they evacuate to? thank you for coming on and _ they evacuate to? thank you for coming on and we _ they evacuate to? thank you for coming on and we will _ they evacuate to? thank you for coming on and we will keep i they evacuate to? thank you for i coming on and we will keep across that story and of course for the hospital in gaza city. stay with us. we will go to a short break.

hello there, good evening. well, friday was another day of contrasts across the uk, with outbreaks of rain across much of the southern half of england and wales. still the mild air lingering here before the front cleared south—eastwards. further north, lots of blue sky and sunshine, and it felt deceptively chilly despite the sunshine, too. it was blustery with a brisk north—westerly wind. over the weekend, we're all coming into that colder—feeling air, so quite a dramatic drop in temperatures. still windy, but lots of autumn sunshine around, too. now, here's our cold front. it's clearing out into the near continent overnight tonight, taking the heavy rain with it. the mild air being swept away, replaced by all of this cold air pushing down from the north—west marked in the blue tones here. temperatures will be dropping below the seasonal average this time. so, tonight, then, lots of clear skies developing. the winds lightening towards the south. still some showers out towards the north and the west. the winds strengthening, though, across northern scotland. and this is how we'll start off saturday morning, on a much colder note, especially for england and wales, than we've been used to of late. on saturday morning, well, there'll be low pressure

centred across scandinavia, some strong gusty winds out towards the aberdeenshire coast, possibly gales, even severe gales. also across the northern isles, too. elsewhere, a brisk north—westerly wind just blowing these showers further southwards and eastwards, even across southern england perhaps for a time, but most frequent for the north and the west. possibly wintry over the hills of scotland and of wales. the further east you are, the drier your day is likely to be. but there will be a lot of sunshine around, but it's not really helping to lift the temperatures too much, 8—11; celsius. it's going to be cold on saturday night into sunday. the winds will lighten. there'll be lots of clear skies around. there'll be a frost for many northern areas. i think temperatures here dropping below freezing, possibly even a ground frost for many rural spots in the southern half of the uk as well. so a cold, possibly a frosty start to the day on sunday. now, on sunday, there will be some more cloud across northern scotland and some showers here, so possibly a little milder. elsewhere dry, lots of sunshine. temperatures numerically will be lower on sunday, peaking only between 9—12 celsius, but because there won't be

quite so much added wind chill and fewer showers, it will probably feel a little more pleasant. as we head into the start of next week, higher pressure builds in. it's dry and it's settled as you can see from our outlook for our capital cities. bye— bye.

hello, i'm christian fraser.
