are fighting for the homeland. - are stretching our enemies with an unprecedented power. i emphasise, it isjust an unprecedented power. i emphasise, it is just the beginning. 0ur enemies have just begun to pay the price. i cannot divulge what comes next but i can tell you that it is just the beginning. ina in a moment, reviewed by the situation inside gaza but here isjeremy bowen situation inside gaza but here is jeremy bowen from jerusalem. to win a war, a country has to break the will of its enemy to fight. history suggests air strikes alone won't do that, even ones as heavy as israel's in gaza. so israel will have to send troops into the rubble, if as it says it wants to destroy hamas. telling civilians to get out is part of preparing the battlefield. leaflets, a non—lethal airdrop but full of menace, told more than a million people to move south. "it happened to our grandfathers," said this man, "now it's happening to us! it raises the ghosts

of the past." many gazans trying to escape israel's anger are descendants of almost one million palestinians who fled or were forced out of their homes at gunpoint in israel's independence war in 1948. palestinians call it "the catastrophe". hamas sent their answer — more rockets, and told people to stay put. at the un, the secretary—general told both sides to protect civilians. even wars have rules. international humanitarian law and human rights law must be respected and upheld. civilians must be protected and also never used as shields.

refrigerated containers hold bodies awaiting identification, some of more than 1,300 israelis and foreigners killed by hamas. but israel says hamas will feel its revenge — not civilians. palestinians protested in the west bank. 14 had been shot dead by the israeli army by the evening. almost all the violence between israelis and palestinians before last week's hamas assault was in the west bank. it is very tense and could get much worse. jerusalem was quiet, but not calm. 0nly older palestinians were allowed to pray at al—aqsa mosque by israeli security forces. younger men were banned as potential security risks. the mood injerusalem was grim, full of foreboding. the holy city is at the epicentre of the conflict. palestinians said they feared that israel's anger at the hamas attack could be directed at them. it feels as if this crisis

is going up a gear. extreme pressure on civilians in gaza, tension here in jerusalem. no—one knows where this is going, but it's certain this is a dangerous moment — the worst middle east crisis in a generation. until last weekend, israel believed the long conflict with the palestinians could be contained. that illusion has gone. jeremy bowen, bbc news, jerusalem. dire humanitarian crisis there and warning, his report contains some distressing images. israel has now been pounding gaza, targeting hamas, it says, for almost a week. only when the dust settles does

the devastation become clear. "0ur enemies are evil. "they're cowards killing children," says this man amid the wreckage of his home. "they have no humanity," he goes on. fewjobs are more challenging here than that of a first responder. under all this, somebody is alive... ..for now. "for three days," he says, "i didn't go home, but it never stops." for some, it's all too much, and these paramedics are working while under fire. he says he's just heard a colleague was killed while trying to save others. it's the fourth that day. but they can't stop working. and for gaza's doctors, the stream of casualties

is relentless. inside the hospital in the town of rafah, "i want my daddy," she cries. more than 85 persons with injuries are men, women and children. and when i say children, i mean children. we are dealing with so sophisticated kinds of trauma which we couldn't see ever before. and for many, the injuries are too severe. "it's a massacre," says this father, leaving the hospital with his five—year—old daughter dead in his arms. john donnison, bbc news. i spoke with michael, the former special repertoire on

brutality of the attacks. but as he was landing, they issued their strongest criticism of israel yet saying that condemning israel for what it targeting civilians. and speaking with them through the israeli people but normalising relationships, that it had been put on hold but they did resume her relationships with iran later in the years and then they had a discussion with the iranian president and they want to hear the results and is been asking families to rule against iran and going to egypt, there will be primarily because they share a border with gaza and there was talk about a humanitarian corridor to get aid into gaza.— aid into gaza. that is especially _ aid into gaza. that is | especially considerate aid into gaza. that is - especially considerate given these hostages. taking the lead on that and it has relations

with hamas and they've been trying to organise a release the hostages but when mr blinked and was there, he had no progress to report and they believe a handful of hostages are with the us citizens but they're much closer coordinated with the israeli team on this and many are not interested in negotiating. in other circumstances, they might be and they have negotiated before and they have negotiated before and prayer rejecting hostages back but they clearly see this as next central threat and they are focused on eliminating hamas. so, things are the israeli military is more interested in trying to rescue the hostages the negotiations. in fact, the idea of the israeli defence force that it's set ground troops on unlimited rates before what is expected to be a big incursion and part of that is trying to get information of where the hostages are located. piece of the secretary of state said the status quo cannot remain. what does that mean for us policy

americans to use their leverage is the solution and we will see what transpires in the coming days and weeks. thank you so much. for more on the us and israeli response, i spoke with the spokesperson in new york city. or the stop of the people unaccounted for and that includes american citizens and what can you tell us about how israel and the us are working together to locate them? , , . , working together to locate them? , , ., them? this is a truly, a situation _ them? this is a truly, a situation that _ them? this is a truly, a situation that the - them? this is a truly, a situation that the us i them? this is a truly, a. situation that the us and israel are in on together. i can see personally from my end that i'm working in new york and we have family of those being captured over there and interpreting. president biden just had a conversation with

hello. a big change in the feel of the weather this weekend. it's been unseasonably mild and that mild weather has brought quite a bit of rain during the day. on friday, it brought half a month of rain to places like santon downham, but already the changes were with us further north and that's all courtesy of the wind direction. now that rain having cleared away has allowed this blast of north westerly winds to sweep southwards. now really tightly packed. i mean, we've got severe gales in some northern parts of scotland, but it's the wind direction coming down from the arctic that will affect all parts this weekend and make it feel much colder, even colder because of the wind chill, which is bringing through wintry showers across the hills, notjust for scotland, perhaps the sparing and antrim mountains and into cumbria aurorae as well snowdonia so a much colder night, some frost across northeast england and the glens of scotland. enough wind to prevent a widespread frost or indeed any mist and fog problems

really. but this weekend starts colder and windy. the wind should ease down a bit by sunday, but it's certainly a feature of the weather as we go through the first part of saturday. those showers coming through thick and fast, adding to the chill feel and there around the irish sea coast first thing, but they will migrate inland. so no, we're exempt from getting a shower, but always more prevalent in the north and west. but they will be heavy rumbles of thunder and some hail as well as the wind chewiness over the hills and only ten to 13 or 14 in the south. that's six to eight degrees below where they have been, particularly the south this week. now, the showers and the wind sees a little bit during sunday, but they keep pestering northern and western areas. but there will be a more widespread ground frost, probably our coldest night of the autumn so far. this is the coldest blast of the autumn so far. but it does mean, again, a good deal of sunshine. first thing, mind you, at this time of year, there will be a few pockets of fog around which can take

till mid—morning to clear, to watch out for if you're travelling showers or perhaps more cloud in the north and the west of scotland. temperatures though, a little lower than saturday's, but with lighter winds and a bit more sunshine, fewer showers, ishould imagine, not feeling quite as chilly. and then later into next week or the early part of next week, again, we've got the chilly nights, the frosty and foggy mornings, but temperatures do pick up later in the week as the unsettled weather returns. there's more online.

this is bbc news. we will have the headlines for you at the top of the hour straight after this programme. it's incredible to think that this thriving metropolis was once a sleepy little fishing village. it became an international port, a crucial meeting point between east and west, a fusion of cultures and a global financial centre. hong kong is always evolving. it's often at the sharp end of political debate, and right now, it's in a fascinating time of transition. this former british colony was handed back to china in 1997, and ever since then, its connection with the past, the mainland and its future has been evolving. the transition hasn't always been smooth, but hong kong retains its own currency and identity.
