involved without due not want get involved without due not want his brother to get involved because that's yes, and he said that in the press conference. recently said don't. don't get involved, exactly as you were saying. repeating what the us have set for a number of days since the start of the conflict. i want to turn really briefly to donald trump. he was there in the courtroom, couldn't resist his contribution. he said in some way that this wouldn't have happened if he was president. i think we've gotten used to donald trump saying that. i've heard that before from donald trump. he said that about the ukraine war. so, it's not something new for donald trump to compare himself favourably in that way. he's also gone a little bit of making up to do because he got slammed by the other republican candidates earlier after the hamas action for suggesting hamas was very

smart and criticising benjamin netanyahu. both of which it the moment don't wend him any support —— don't win. he's probably trying to calibrate his words a little bit. katty kay, thanks very much for that analysis. as we continue to watch the concluded, that trip from joe biden. he spent eight hours on the ground. he's now in the air on air force one heading back to washington. katie kicked —— katty kay without assessment. you're watching bbc news. let's tune... president biden warns israel not to act on raids. israel and hamas

blame each otherfor the to act on raids. israel and hamas blame each other for the blast that killed hundreds. the white house says israel was not responsible. on fire the massive loss of life triggers protests about the embassy in beirut —— gunfire. we will have more on all of those mean stories. why don't we pause for a few minutes and catch up with a busy sportsday. mimi is there for us. good evening. thank you very much, matthew. new zealand continued their winning run at the cricket world cup with a thumping 149—run win over afghanistan in chennai. afghanistan had the better of the early proceedings, taking three wickets in nine balls, to leave new zealand on the brink of collapse at iio—li. but a solid partnership between captain tom latham and glen phillips of over 100 steered them towards a decent score. new zealand finished with 288. the bowlers, then, took over

with a clinical performance as afghanistan were all out for 139 in reply. manchester united women are in the french capital for the second leg of their women's champions league qualifier with paris saint—germain later. the tie remains evenly poised after the two sides played out a 1—1 draw at leigh sports village last week. psg have reached the quarter—finals in each of the last five seasons and are favourites to advance, especially with home advantage for the second leg. glasgow city require a momentous performance in their second qualifying round second leg in norway. they need to overturn a a—nil deficit against sk brann. jenni hermoso has been named in the spain squad for the first time since winning the world cup. former spanish football federation president luis rubiales kissed hermoso during the world cup trophy presentation, which she says was not consensual. rubiales eventually resigned and was given a restraining order.

goalkeeper sandy maciver has switched her allegiance from england and has been named in scotland's squad for their nations league games this month. the manchester city player has one england cap and has regularly been the back—up to first—choice mary earps. maciver was born in winsford, but qualifies for scotland through her father. scrum half danny care has featured in four of england's five games at the rugby world cup in france, including sunday's nail—biting quarter—final win over fiji. it's a big task for him and england next as they try and beat a south africa team aiming for a record fourth rugby world cup success. i think ithinka i think a lot has changed in four years. we're a completely different team and i think they are. they're playing slightly different. i have so much respect for them as a team and their coaches. i think they've tweaked and adapted their game and

there were many weaknesses —— not many weaknesses to go after. i think we've got to be incredibly respectable for them, but also focus on ourselves a fair bit. our games slowly are getting better and better. we shown glimpses of really good stuff and stuff that we can definitely improve on. we know that if we can get our game on the pitch, we can hopefully cause problems. but we're fully aware of the mammoth task, but excited for it. after the news that flag football is amongst the new sports at the olympics, many nfl players hinted that they would be interested in playing at the games, and it could be on the cards. nfl executive peter o'reilly says the league will work with the players' union on allowing current and former players to participate. ultimately, that decision on the makeup— ultimately, that decision on the makeup of team usa is a decision of usa football. or the governing bodies — usa football. or the governing

with the us and joe biden. yeah, a lot of discussion in parliament _ joe biden. yeah, a lot of discussion in parliament here _ joe biden. yeah, a lot of discussion in parliament here about _ joe biden. yeah, a lot of discussion in parliament here about the - in parliament here about the situation in israel today. prime minister's questions was dominated by the issue and there was a further set of questions after that to the foreign secretary, james cleverly. you heard rishi sunak saying pretty much what he's been saying all day. a very sombre tone and mood. a lot of shock expressed at the hospital strike. you heard his word, urging people not tojump strike. you heard his word, urging people not to jump to conclusions. to wait for responsibility he said about the uk intelligence services conducting its own investigation. no timeframe given on when we can expect the results or the conclusions of that investigation to be published or made public. but there was an interesting slight

dividing line opened up in parliament here with one opposition party, the snp, calling for a seat for the uk government to call for a cease �*s fire. there are a0 odd mps out of 650 who have signed a motion to call for a cease—fire. that is not something that rishi sunak said that he supported. that is not something labour party have said they supported. but quite an interesting development. there are now calls on the basis of the situation for the uk government to demand a cease—fire. but you heard very clearly there from rishi sunak, saying israel has the right to defend itself. he is urging israel to abide by international law and its actions. but i think the mood really in parliament was one of a lot of calls from both sides to

speak with one voice. none of the adversarial exchanges that we are used to in parliament. you are now starting to get calls from some mps for the uk government to call for a cease—fire. for the uk government to call for a cease-fire— for the uk government to call for a cease-fire. and 'ust like joe biden, we heard from — cease-fire. and just like joe biden, we heard from the _ cease-fire. and just like joe biden, we heard from the american - cease-fire. and just like joe biden, i we heard from the american president when he was there in tel aviv talking about his thoughts. it was the number one priority, he said, the number one priority, he said, the hostages. so many foreign nationals being held. we heard rishi sunak also being asked about the missing british nationals.- missing british nationals. yeah, there was an — missing british nationals. yeah, there was an update _ missing british nationals. yeah, there was an update given - missing british nationals. yeah, there was an update given by i missing british nationals. is—i there was an update given by downing street earlier today. a confirmation that seven british nationals have been confirmed killed in the attack in israel. a further nine are still missing. i think those numbers could be expected to rise, at least seven. it was the wording the prime minister's spokesperson gave when giving that update. there is concern

about british nationals caught up in the situation there. certainly one of the opposition parties, the leader of the snp, his wife has family caught up in gaza. there are concerns. rishi sunak has been made to evacuate british nationals, but unfortunately, sadly, those figures — seven british nationals confirmed to have died in the attack and a further nine at least confirmed missing. further nine at least confirmed missinu. ., ., ., ., further nine at least confirmed missin.. ., ., ., , missing. leila nathoo, thanks very much. missing. leila nathoo, thanks very much- let's— missing. leila nathoo, thanks very much. let's stay _ missing. leila nathoo, thanks very much. let's stay with _ missing. leila nathoo, thanks very much. let's stay with talking i missing. leila nathoo, thanks veryj much. let's stay with talking about hostages and looking at the whole situation. hamas continues to hold over 200 hostage. her parents are in their 70s and they disappeared in the fields near their kibbutz on the 7th of october. iris explained to me how that day

kilometres. i told she was in home —— she said two kilometres. itold her to she was in home —— she said two kilometres. i told her to call the will not call me when they get home. speaking to my friends, i was right there. i know everybody there, all there. i know everybody there, all the kids, the people who were kidnapped and murdered. i grew up with them. i asked them what's going on. they don't really know much. all they know is there are red alerts. at 7:20 a:m., nobody called me. at 7:30 a:m., one of my friends said that the kibbutz is full of terrorists going door—to—door, burning their kids, setting houses on fire, murdering whole families. honestly, my mind couldn't even comprehend. even when i tell you now, it's like a bad stripped. i’d now, it's like a bad stripped. i'd said in the introduction your pants are missing —— a bad script. when did you realise what had happened ——

inflation has remained at 6.7% after prices rose in september at the same rate as the month before. the stagnant figure suggest the crisis continues. it raises concerns that interest rates could stay higher for longer. gathering a good harvest here in kent. falling food prices are helpful for shoppers, but mean tough times for farmers. labour, electricity and diesel costs are all going up. machines like this can help keep that down, but only a bit. i think if we see our cost price increase going forward, then we've really got to put that back to the retailers and say, "we need to have a conversation about this, this is incredibly challenging for us". this used to be an orchard, but costs are so high that they're digging them up and not replanting. overall, food prices fell in september — the first monthly fall in two years — while diesel and petrol

were up more than 5%. inflation as a whole was unchanged at 6.7%, while from may tojuly, earnings went up by 8.5%, including bonuses. september's inflation figure usually sets how much working age benefits rise the following april, but pensions are expected to rise by that higher earnings figure if the government keeps to its triple lock policy. that could cost billions, but here in tonbridge, people were supportive. do you think it's fair that the state pension should go up by more than inflation? yeah. why is that? cos i'm a pensioner! before when it's gone up, it has been embarrassing, hasn't it? it'sjust gone up pennies. at least they're making an effort, i think. everything else is going up, so it levels the playing field a bit. i what anyone with a mortgage is going to want to know is whether today's figure makes it more likely that the bank of england will feel it has to put up interest rates again to bring inflation back down to its 2% target. and it's looking like a finely balanced decision. the argument to leave rates on hold

really hinges on some signs of weakness in the economy, so the pick—up in unemployment, for example. the argument to put rates up would focus on the robustness of services inflation, essentially, that underlying inflation is still sticky. i think it's better to get more rate hikes in now while we can, rather than waiting for evidence to the contrary. inflation for october is expected to fall sharply as energy bills go down, so the prime minister's pledge to halve inflation this year might still get there. but growing instability in the middle east threatens to drive up energy prices. there are plenty of things that could still push it off course. ben king, bbc news, tonbridge. stay with us because jeremy stay with us becausejeremy bowen, lyse doucet and our team is ready to bring you the latest from the middle east. that's it from today's verified live. thanks for watching, bye—bye.

hello. storm babette will be lashing the uk over the next few days, but i'd also like to make the point that the weather won't be bad all the time as this storm spreads from the south. we're also expecting the skies to clear in a few places. sunny spells and mild weather can be expected, too. but let's focus on the rain, the biggest problem from this storm. a rare red warning in force thursday into friday for specifically angus and southern parts of aberdeenshire and the met office warns of even danger to life. but let's look at the rainfall first across the whole of the uk. so, this is the rainfall accumulation as the days go by — widely 30—a0 millimetres of rain, but you can see around eastern scotland and the northeast of england here potentially well in excess of 100 millimetres of rain. so, here's the forecast then through the night,

the weather fronts, the rain front associated with storm babette makes itsjourney towards the north after a soaking with storm babette makes its journey towards the north. after a soaking evening across southern parts of the uk, actually, the skies may clear for a time through the early hours before further showers return. it's going to be relatively mild, around 15 degrees in the south, 10 degrees in the north with the clearer skies where the weather will have been relatively clear until then. now, through the course of thursday, that rain really starts to turn very persistent across eastern scotland. it's the east southeasterly gale that develops, even severe gale, and will keep pushing the rain clouds towards eastern parts of scotland like a conveyor belt. so, the rain will be falling in the same place all the time. so, here's the amber warning, because there are other warnings in force as well for other parts of scotland. in the north, across the highlands, we could have 100 millimetres of rain or so. this overlapping red warning is for the severe gale on the coast of eastern scotland — gusts of around 70 mph. but then, there's that red warning focusing on angus and southern parts of aberdeenshire, the red warning from the met office. extensive flooding is possible.

so, here's the forecast, then, for friday — still that easterly wind pushing in the rain clouds, but notice that the concentration of heavier rain will now be across more central, southeastern and southern parts of england and actually across the north and the east of scotland. that rain should start to ease, but it may return by the time we get to saturday. take care.

at six, president biden says it appears israel was not behind the deadly explosion at a gaza hospital. yesterday's devastating blast which reportedly killed hundreds of people, we have a report from the scene. people are still in panic, people

are still trying to understand what's happened. joe biden backed israel's account after talks with binyamin netanyahu. deeply saddened and outraged by the explosion at the hospital in gaza yesterday. and, based on what i've seen, it appears as though it was done by the other team. but protestors in lebanon and many in the arab world believe israel, is to blame. we'll assess the evidence and what questions remain. and this evening israel says it won't stop humanitarian aid entering gaza from egypt. also on the programme: a fall in the price of food at last, but higher fuels costs means inflation remains the same at 6.7%. also also
