today, the humanitarian chief of the un for the second convoy of 20—30 trucks could enter the region, delivering much—needed aid but admits the un and israel are having tough but fair discussions about how trucks will be inspected. meanwhile, israel has confirmed increased attacks in gaza, and is urging civilians still in the north to move south. translation: for your own safety, move southward, - we will continue to attack in the area of gaza city and increase attacks. we are the humanitarian aid that is entering rafah from egypt, to ensure that the water and medicine are distributed in this humanitarian area we have set. reporters: mr president! mr president! _ president biden says his administration is remaining committed to ensuring that civilians in gaza he told reporters that he was talking to israel.

their duty to respect international law... both us and uk governments are still working to free those american and british citizens still trapped in gaza. overnight, israeli aircraft struck a compound beneath a mosque in the occupied west bank that the military said was being used to organise attacks. greg mackenzie, bbc news. rishi sunak has warned that the conflict between israel and hamas could spread across the middle east. following a visit to the region, the prime minister said everything possible must be done to prevent a further escalation, and that the uk stands against terrorism. mr sunak also welcomed the reopening of the rafah crossing and said the government was working intensively with international partners to allow trapped british nationals to use it to leave gaza. we'rejoined now by our middle east correspondent yolande knell.

many civilians say they cannot or are not willing to go to the south. there is also on this issue ofjust 20 lorry loads allowing food and some water and medicine. no fuel is being allowed, which allow them to pump away sewage building up inside the gaza strip or to use the desalination plant. fuel could go to hospital generators. we have another warning from agencies who say the situation in gaza is now catastrophic, in their words, and the world must do more, if they said. iii the world must do more, if they said. ., ~ , 1, ~ said. if we turn to the west bank. we are hearing — said. if we turn to the west bank. we are hearing about _ said. if we turn to the west bank. we are hearing about attacks, - said. if we turn to the west bank. i we are hearing about attacks, what more can you tell us about those? just in the past two weeks, the violence in the west bank has increased. more than 80 palestinians killed by israeli forces and by israeli settlers and evernote we had the israeli military state went into

katie, what's it like there this morning? the worst of the weather thankfully has passed. it is dry here this morning at that will come as a huge relief to people living here. they have seen flooding before and they used to rain but nothing like this. hundreds of homes and businesses affected. we cannot see much because it is dark but there is a muddy sludge left behind when floodwater receives. it is notjust here in brechin last night, in aberdeen, people advised to leave their homes as streets were flooded. while the risk has people are still vigilant and disruption on the roads and railways, most notably the a 90 between stonehaven and dundee remains close. the majority of

trains are still running but there are four lines causing concern, aberdeen to dundee, aberdeen to denton, inaudible those lines will be inspected today. to give you an idea of the challenge, the access road to one of the areas affected have been washed away so he has been really difficult to get to the places that need to be inspected and thatis places that need to be inspected and that is what the authorities have been saying that they still do not really know the extent of the damage caused by this time and that is because they have not been able to get engineers and experts out during the red weather warnings. they have now been lifted so we should get a much clearer picture of the damage caused by the storm over the next day or two. caused by the storm over the next day or twe— caused by the storm over the next da ortwo. ., ,, i. . ., day or two. thank you so much and we will be back— day or two. thank you so much and we will be back with _ day or two. thank you so much and we will be back with you _ day or two. thank you so much and we will be back with you throughout - day or two. thank you so much and we will be back with you throughout the l will be back with you throughout the morning. record—breaking water levels are affecting rivers across the north of england with environment agency warnings for deep and fast—flowing water, which carries a risk to life

and serious disruption. what does the overall picture look like? it is those rising river levels opposing such a problem right now? we could be looking at the peak of the levels today and into tomorrow as we have the lag time when the rain to win the water moves through the waterways out towards the sea. we have had some phenomenal amount of rainfall. they have had nearly eight inches of rain in some places. we are almost up to eight inches there, some extremely heavy rainfall. gladly, thankfully, today we were r between weather systems. pressure systems are pushing north from scotland and we are in between these weather systems with a ridge of high pressure today. a cold start

his fellow world cup winner sir geoff hurst said: former england cricketer sir geoffrey boycott said: fifa said: former manchester united captain gary neville called sir bobby: and newcastle united wrote: that he was an ashington lad and it was the passing of a true legend of the game. we will return to football and all the action on the pitch in a moment. but first to paris. england fell agonisingly short of a supreme upset and a fifth rugby world cup final as south africa came from behind to snatch victory in paris, as andy swiss reports.

16-15 it 16—15 it finished. after such hope for england, such heartache. despite pushing the world champions so close, their world cup dream is over. they began as underdogs against south africa, in those soggy conditions, they reduced a tactical masterclass. four penalties and they led i2—6 a tactical masterclass. four penalties and they led 12—6 at the break. soon it got even better. farrell with a quite mammoth drop goal to extend their lead. south africa just couldn't get a grip. it was scrappy, slippery, but england were loving it. finally, though, the springboks stirred. and suddenly they were just two points behind. and with just minutes remaining, what drama as pollard wasn't long—range put south africa in front, but amid unbearable tension, they clung on for victory. a match which glenn had dominated for so long ending in the ruler disappointment, is only out of the final and yet so agonisingly far. we

are disappointed. we came here with are disappointed. we came here with a plan to win the game and we felt a little bit short. not far short, but a little bit short. filtrate little bit short. not far short, but a little bit short.— a little bit short. we are desperately _ a little bit short. we are| desperately disappointed a little bit short. we are - desperately disappointed with it. i think as owen talked about it, the players should be incredibly proud of what they have done and continue to do representing rugby. the encland to do representing rugby. the england fancier _ to do representing rugby. the england fancier can take huge pride from that performance. though nearly one of the great world cup shocks, but instead, their hopes have been dashed, and how. andy swiss, bbc news, paris. you will forgive me, i have given into the rain and i have two relent a little bit and have an umbrella and tell you the rain would have been somewhat welcome for england in —— in mumbai. to have any chance of reaching the semifinals, beaten

heavily as well in mumbai. a century from heinrich klaasen helped south africa to a massive 399, the most runs england have ever conceded in an odi match, and jos buttler�*s side ended up losing by their highest ever margin too. ben stokes was back in the side, but he couldn't inspire england to that total. they lost in the end by 229 runs. after that moment of reflection before the game for manchester united's players... they went on, provided a fitting tribute to sir bobby charlton on the pitch by beating sheffield united 2—1. and what better way to do it than this winner from diogo dalot! echoes of many of the spectacular goals that sir bobby charlton scored for united and england. erling haaland ended his run of three games without a goal to help manchester city beat brighton 2—1 at the etihad. it ended their run of two straight league defeats and moved them to the top of the table on goal difference. they'll be without manuel akanji for next weekend's manchester derby after he was sent off in added time.

arsenal came from 2—0 down to draw 2—2 with chelsea at stamford bridge. leandro trossard with the equaliser. arsenal are second, chelsea tenth. mo salah was the merseyside derby match winner with a second—half double as liverpool defeated io—man everton 2—0 at anfield. the win leaves liverpool third in the table, just a point behind manchester city. and in formula i, it was red bull's max verstappen who once again took victory, this time in the sprint race at the united states grand prix, ahead of lewis hamilton and charles leclerc. that was in austin, texas. the world champion held off leclerc�*s ferrari off the line and saw off a brief threat from hamilton in the early laps before cruising into the distance. hamilton crossed the line nine seconds behind his 2021 title rival. verstappen has qualified only sixth for the grand prix later after having a pole position lap deleted for exceeding track limits. let's speak a little bit more about sir bobby charlton with the man who

met him on several occasions, had written about him as well, andy mitton. andy, thank you forjoining us. i trust you have a dry position from which you are able to talk to me here at old trafford. so often when a man, a person of this stature passes away, you talk about the person, but also, the foot taller. we will do the latter first. as a player, it is hard for us at our age to know exactly quite how dynamic he was. but from your experiences of talking back and talking to people who knew him so well, the type of player he was, how best to put that into words. player he was, how best to put that into words-— into words. yesterday i spoke to someone who — into words. yesterday i spoke to someone who played _ into words. yesterday i spoke to someone who played alongside l into words. yesterday i spoke to - someone who played alongside bobby charlton, who won the european cup together, and he used words like elegant. he said bobby would glide across the grass, he said he would defy anybody to say whether he was left or right footed because he was

perfect with both. he said he was incredibly driven and demanding. he set the standards for others to follow and yet he was quite quiet. all he needed to say to brian was come on... and brian wood try to emulate him, knowing full well he would never get to his levels, but just to get close again and be able to play in a team alongside him and george basten calendar winners back in the 60s. he had a ferocious shot, he was capable of picking up the ball from anywhere, and would damage opponents. a genuine top world—class footballer with the metals, the goals, the appearances to back it up. goals, the appearances to back it u -. �* goals, the appearances to back it u, a ., , goals, the appearances to back it u n . �* ., , , ., , goals, the appearances to back it u n i �* ., , , ., , up. and generally, if you put him in a modern error, _ up. and generally, if you put him in a modern error, perhaps a - up. and generally, if you put him in a modern error, perhaps a rockstar| a modern error, perhaps a rockstar foot taller because of all those talents you describe and yet is personality was very much in conflict with that. he was very understated, he was quiet, as you

mentioned, about his conversations on match days. and as they grew older and became this man of such stature manchester united, didn't really change. he remained almost behind the scenes to bite huge status in the game. that behind the scenes to bite huge status in the game.— status in the game. that is exactly what brian said _ status in the game. that is exactly what brian said to _ status in the game. that is exactly what brian said to me. _ status in the game. that is exactly what brian said to me. he - status in the game. that is exactly what brian said to me. he said - what brian said to me. he said bobby's modesty and humility for a world—class player was incredible. i think that was his personality at least half of the unique air disaster, because that changed him. he saw some of his closest closest friends and teammates die in munich. how much that impact on any human, well, for him, he did greatly. he thought about them boys everything they of his life. but what he did was help inspire manchester united to recover, to rise, to become champions of england again and to become the first english team to win the european cup, and sir bobby charlton, a manchester united academy graduate, he was also very

proud of his roots and he would play 758 times for united. that was a record that stood for the decades until it was broken. the goal record stood for a four decades until wayne rooney broke it. a former world—class star, known well beyond the borders of england, great britain, at a time when the premier league wasn't liable that it is now, and that is partly because he did it for england as well, world cup winnerfor england, a star in a dean binaisse driver who scores great goals is going to get more attention than somebody who doesn't. so huge figure in history of manchester united and english football. finally, andy, iam not standing united and english football. finally, andy, i am not standing far away from the munich tunnel under the south stand in the famous clock that commemorates the moment. eight of his team has died, 23 people in all. we talk about it very rarely

for the reasons you outlined. i remember on the 50th anniversary in 2008 he did talk about it to us, and he did mention about how he thought about everybody each and every day, and how the guilt of his survival very much affected every single thought that he had about this club andindeed thought that he had about this club and indeed his own relationship with it. he said miracles come at a price and his price was munich. he said playing football was as natural as breathing. he had been gifted with that table and he was reticent to talk about munich. almost like soldiers who do not like to talk about the wars that they have been in. the first ten pages of one part of his autobiography are about munich and hejust of his autobiography are about munich and he just talks, what is of his autobiography are about munich and hejust talks, what is it like? he looks around and sees some of his best friends are dead and i

cannot comprehend what that must be like and then to carry on and to do it in their honour, even when united, ten years later were crowned champions of europe, he was quite withdrawn into the after match party in london because all he could think about was the them boys. i think he was accredited manchester united, to football and he carried on their legacy because bobby was a key player of a great football team. the others were fantastic as well but he helped to lift manchester united and thatis helped to lift manchester united and that is a reason why the stand at old trafford is named after him away there is a statue outside it as well. a towering figure at manchester united and that is why you're seeing the outpouring around the world in respect of sir bobby charlton. ., ., the world in respect of sir bobby charlton. ., ,, , ., , the world in respect of sir bobby charlton. . ~' , ., , . charlton. thank you very much indeed for “oininr charlton. thank you very much indeed forjoining us— charlton. thank you very much indeed forjoining us this _ charlton. thank you very much indeed

of state, "the middle east is in danger of slipping into war" or, as king abdullah ofjordan put it even more starkly, "the whole region is on the brink of falling "into the abyss," how worried should we be? if there are shocking scenes, heartbreaking — even more heartbreaking than now — coming out of gaza, they will feel honour bound to do something. to what extent is iran pulling the strings in gaza and lebanon? hezbollah is a militant group. they have their own weapon, they have their own armies and they have their sole decision that is basically coming from iran, and they're acting upon that. and china. ten years after the belt and road initiative, is the world's most impressive economy in danger of hitting the buffers? i think china's got a big struggle to come, and the big struggle is going to come with its shrinking population.

the appalling destruction at the al—ahli al—arabi baptist hospital in gaza, whoever may have been responsible for it, has overshadowed the hastily arranged visit to israel by president biden. yes, he was there to offer america's total, wholehearted sympathy and support to israel in the wake of the october 7th raids, but he was also there to urge israel in the strongest way to use discretion and moderation if and when it invades gaza, and very likely also to attempt to persuade israel of the need for a humanitarian corridor to allow water, food and medicines into a waterless, poor and hugely overcrowded enclave. but what about the wider picture? lyse doucet, the bbc�*s chief international correspondent, is in southern israel and we caught up with her in between showers of rain.

in previous military operations — and i was there in gaza for the one in 201a — the israeli military described its objectives — and, indeed, the political leadership, described their objectives — as hitting hamas hard, destroying its network of tunnels, ending its capacity to fire rockets into israel. this time is different. the fact that hamas was able to outmanoeuvre and outsmart the most powerful military in this region has now led israel to say, "we are going to destroy hamas". prime minister netanyahu says that hamas has to be treated like islamic state — it has to be obliterated. you and i both know gaza well. do you think it's possible

to eliminate hamas? i think it can be taken as a certainty that that same sophistication that they did to carry out these atrocities will also have been spent on preparing for what they knew would be a ferocious israeli response. but as you know, john, the other matter is that, unlike islamic state, hamas is also a political and social organisation. it's embedded in palestinian society. and even if, privately, some palestinians may not agree with hamas' tactics and, certainly, what happened in those horrific first hours of saturday morning, they still share their anger against israeli control over their lives, their resolve to achieve a palestinian state. and from the embers of the destruction that israel is certain to cause will rise

another generation with an even more steely resolve to inflict harm on israel next door. and there are many voices now saying that while israel has the right to defend itself, now is the time to think of a long—term response. israel is not of a mind now to think that far, and that's perhaps not surprising. what the americans and others now are trying to spend their time doing is to try as much as possible and, as importantly, to be seen to do everything possible to minimise civilian casualties and civilian suffering. we both saw what happened in iraq in 2003 when the americans invaded. it is actually extraordinarily difficult not to kill civilians when you're going down narrow streets with tall buildings

on either side, any one of which could contain perhaps a dozen or more people that want to kill you. what's not clear is whether or not civilians mayjoin in the fight, those who refuse to be displaced. and as you, john, you know that there is another parallel in mosul when the iraqis, helped by the americans and others — at least in terms of advice and intelligence — went into mosul to try to destroy islamic state. it was fighting street to street, house to house, room to room and there, there were a high level of civilian casualties and there was vast destruction. it's hard to see how it can be otherwise in urban warfare, hence the insistence of the americans to — and the united nations and so many other voices who are standing by israel

as to say you must get people to safety. except in gaza, there's nowhere that's safe and the gazans can't get out. lyse, several writers in the british and american newspapers and, actually, in the french as well, whom i respect, are talking about the possibility that this could really spread, could start to take in iran — and iran's got friends in china and russia. what's your feeling as you stand there? is that a possibility? lebanon on israel's northern border, syria in the north as well, they have other scores to settle with israel and also, they are standard bearers for the palestinian cause. if there are shocking scenes, heartbreaking — even more heartbreaking than now — coming out of gaza, they will feel honour bound to do something. now, so much — there's so much diplomacy now, so much back channel talking. even the de facto ruler of saudi arabia, mohammed bin

salman, the crown prince, has been talking to the iranian president raisi. that's the measure of the new rapprochement before this all erupted again. everyone is talking to everyone else. but the iranians have said, "look, if this gets worse, "this will be something that we simply cannot control" and hence, the shuttling of the american envoy, of the europeans, of so many — the phone lines are burning — to stop this possible contagion. there's a constant fear that the fighting could spread, that iran, which calls the shots with hamas in gaza, might decide to urge its other client, hezbollah in lebanon, to join in the attack on israel. lina sinjab is the bbc�*s middle east correspondent, speaking from beirut. you know, john, this is a region of the unpredictable.

anything could happen at any minute and it's hard to predict what could ignite the moment where things could go out of control. in lebanon, the mood — although the street is very angry with what's happening against the palestinian civilians in gaza, lots of hezbollah supporters roving the streets, celebrating any attacks over the border — but still, there are lots of voices rising and saying, "we don't want to be dragged into this". this is a country that is struggling economically. it's failing its own people. there's still no president. it's in real crisis for the past three, four years. and people still have a close memory to what happened in 2006 with the one—month—long war because of hezbollah's sole decision to attack israel. so, no—one has interest into this but at the end, it's hezbollah's decision, not the lebanese government or the lebanese people's decision. a lot of people outside the region, certainly, think that hezbollah

is actually — gets its instructions from iran. is that the case? well, since the start of hezbollah in the �*80s as the shia militant group, it's announced that its affiliation and power derived from the wilayat al—faqih in iran, which is the religious authority — the shia religious authority in iran. and since then, their training, their money, their power, their weapons have all come from iran. they've liaised all their strategic and war launch decision with the iranians. they've been involved in the war in syria because of the iranian decision. and that's what's the worry today, is that even though hezbollah is not acting swiftly and irrationally at the moment, but statements coming from the iranians is — are basically saying that another front could open if the situation continues as such in gaza. and what fronts are there for

the iranians with the israelis? there is syria and there is lebanon. so, have i got it right? iran tells hezbollah what to do and hezbollah has the only real political power in lebanon. is that correct? practically speaking, the power — the political power is divided between different parties in lebanon and different sectarian groups in lebanon. but pragmatically speaking, hezbollah has the upper hand. hezbollah is a militant group. they have their own weapon, they have their own army, separate from the lebanese army, separate from the lebanese forces, and they have the sole decision that is basically coming from iran, and they're acting upon that. now, over the years, i've had quite a bit to do with both hezbollah and hamas and they're really quite different organisations, aren't they, in many ways? i mean, my impression is that hezbollah in particular is much more kind of a nationalist movement, a kind of lebanese nationalist movement,

compared with hamas, which is much more islamist and less nationalistic. would you agree with that? i would argue against that, to be honest, because even with the start of both movements, they started in the �*80s, both allied themselves with islamist ideology — hezbollah with the shia in iran and hamas with the muslim brotherhood in the region — but if you look over the course of the decades, unfortunately, hezbollah did not act in the interest and in favour of lebanon as a nationalist group — it served the interest of iran in the region. while hamas, despite many disagreement with any islamist militant movement, but they kept their target as fighting for palestinian rights and for the palestinians in gaza, not serving other countries or regional powers' interest in the region,

like hezbollah is doing. tell me a bit about ordinary people in lebanon. how do they react to all of this? they must be very nervous, aren't they? it's a both mixture of nervousness, worry about what's going to happen next but also deep anger — not only here in lebanon but across the arab world. they look at the international community, at the superpower and how they see them as biased towards the israel — the israeli attack on gaza. they feel that there is injustice and, you know, double standards in the way the world is treating the palestinian cause, and that's what is fuelling anger in the arab street and, certainly, here in lebanon, where there's a big majority who would support resistance movement like the hezbollah and hamas. however, there is a vast majority also in lebanon who has great sympathy with the palestinians. civilians are very worried

about their future here in a country that is already struggling, it has an economic collapse, a government that's failed them and they don't want to be dragged into another war. and what about iran itself? given that it's got problems at home, does it really want to provoke a war with israel? and how has it been presenting the hamas attack to its own people? i asked baran abbasi of bbc persian. the government, since the hamas attack on the first day, it's been portraying it as a victory for the palestinians and a huge failure for israelis. but at the same time, the iranian foreign minister has been trying to use his influence over regional powers to rally support for hamas

and the palestinians, and it shows how much of an influence iran has over these regional powers in syria, in lebanon, in iraq. iran has these forces that it calls axis of resistance against israel — shia militia in syria and iraq, hezbollah in lebanon, and hamas and islamichhad in the palestinian territories. and it's been warning that if israel carries on with its attacks and air strikes against gaza and also goes ahead with a planned invasion of gaza strip, then a response from the so—called axis of resistance cannot be stopped. it's very, very powerfully influential on hamas. surely, hamas must have planned this with iran, don't you think? when the iranian supreme leader, a few days before the hamas attack, he made a public speech and he said

that any efforts to normalise relations between saudi arabia and israel are doomed to failure and this would never happen. the hamas attack came just a few days after the iranian leader made that speech, and we can see one of the gains that iran has made after the hamas attack has been that they — seems that the normalisation of ties between israel and saudi arabia is off the table — at least for now. and iran also seems to be able to have stirred up these anti—israeli sentiment in the region. arab powers who have been warming up to israelis now are under pressure from their own people to condemn israeli attacks and to distance themselves from the israelis. but they have come out and said that we didn't have any direct role and that the so—called resistance forces can do that on their own. they don't need our permission, they don't need our help. and the united states has also said that we don't have any

evidence, but nobody knows. if we look at the past few years, iran and israel have been involved in a proxy war in the region but iran seems to have been reluctant to respond whenever there has been some attack that has been blamed on the israelis — for example, some acts of sabotage against iranian nuclear installations inside of iran, israeli attacks against iranian positions in syria, the assassination of mohsen fakhrizadeh, who was known as the father of iran's so—called nuclear weapons programme, and they were all blamed on israel. but iran did not respond in kind, at least, so it seems to have been reluctant. and if it gets involved through its proxies or directly, it could trigger a response from america as well and it could prove disastrous for iran. but at the same time, it might come under pressure through its proxies and through other islamic nations to be seen as a power that supports the palestinians, rather than just standing aside and just watching what unfolds in the region. so, i mean, what you're saying

is that iran probably would prefer not to get too deeply involved, partly for strategic reasons but also partly because it knows it's got problems in its own back yard inside iran itself. absolutely. i mean, iran has been facing protests against the regime itself for years now. every now and then, new protests, new rounds of protests erupt. and one of the slogans that iranian protesters have been chanting has been, "neither gaza nor lebanon. "i will give my life for iran." clearly saying that they don't want their government to get involved in regional conflicts. they want the government to deal with the issues of the iranian people and it will be very unpopular inside of iran if iran acts. it is dealing with a population that is suffering from huge economic problems, mismanagement and also economic corruption among the iranian

officials themselves. it is in huge trouble and it needs the money that the us would provide in terms of the unfreezing of the assets and to have some kind of normal relations with the rest of the world. there are other things going on in the world, though. president putin has gone to beijing to greet his good friend president xijinping on the tenth anniversary of china's belt and road initiative — the massive investment project in asia, africa and latin america, which western countries think is china's way of spreading both its soft and its hard power. kerry allen is the china media analyst for bbc monitoring. china definitely wants to send a message to the world this

week that the belt and road has brought the world closer. initially, when president xi made this his pet project, he really wanted to stress that it was a way of bringing europe and asia closer together. now, it's encompassing areas like peru in latin america. and especially at a time now when there's war and conflict going on in the world, it's a real message that this is countries being brought closer together. and has it done what china wanted in terms of extending chinese power and influence? absolutely, it has. but there have been editorials this week in independent media saying is it starting to dry up? because you factor in that countries internationally have been struggling off the back of the pandemic economically and there's the potential for them to be in china's debt by getting involved at this time.

it doesn't necessarily seem to make china very popular in the countries where it's operating, does it? i mean, a lot of criticisms — i remember in peru that ordinary people don't get any work opportunities. it's all done by — all the work is done by chinese people, brought in for the specific operation. yeah, absolutely that, and there have been concerns that some of these infrastructure projects have simply stopped. there have been some in africa that they've been going on for years and the end is not in sight because china does have a situation at home at the moment where, since 2020, there's been a real halt on lending for infrastructure projects. what is the situation with the chinese economy, do you think? is this a blip or is it really the future for china and the way it operates economically? i think china's got a big

struggle to come, and the big struggle is going to come with its shrinking population. and this is really a hangover from the one—child policy because, for many decades, china only allowed couples to have one child. and what that means now is that the younger demographic are much smaller and the older demographic are much larger and also retiring, so that means that the labour market is shrinking. chinese unemployment for young people between the ages of 16 and 2a is around 20%. young people are just frustrated. they don't know what to do. they're thinking, "well, shall we go overseas?" but then, they get this state media message that if they go overseas, they're being seen as traitors at the time where china should be developing, you know, at the rate it was before, but it simply isn't. do you think there will be more criticism of the government and more opposition to it?

one of the major groups, actually, that are voicing their frustrations against the communist party are women. and there's a lot of pressure on young women to have more children, to start to reboost china's population. and, yes, also, you've got this this massive housing sector with nobody to move into these houses. there are more women who want to move up the career ladder, going to further education. they feel that they're getting a strong message that they should be getting married much sooner, they should be having children. they also should be playing a role in looking after their parents and their grandparents. and they're like, "where do we have the time to do this?" there's so much frustration. you get this catchphrase online of �*tang ping,�* which is �*lying flat�* — it literally means lying flat. and it�*s the idea that people are getting so much messaging that they�*re just exhausted. you do get the feeling that in the west, people are rather rubbing their hands at the thought that the chinese

economic miracle is coming to an end. is it unfair to say that that�*s the case, do you think? i don�*t think it�*s unfair at all, no. there have been a lot of articles in china, saying, look what�*s happening at the moment with china�*s economy, especially in the housing sector. they�*re saying this isn�*t going to be a lehman—style 2008 crash in china�*s housing sector. they�*re saying that china has generally been stable, it�*s been developing at a stable rate and, yes, it has had this momentum for a long time. and more than anything, you get this message that the communist party will save the day. there�*s been a very strong message with the ukraine invasion and also with events in israel that the us is fuelling the fire of overseas events, whereas china, with initiatives like the belt and road initiative, is bringing countries

closer together. kerry allen, china media analyst for bbc monitoring. no israeli prime minister could have ignored the worst attack on israeli civilians in its history. the most peacefully inclined israeli government would have felt obliged to strike back at hamas — that�*s the logic of the post—1967 situation when israel captured the west bank and gaza — though, of course, it withdrew from gaza in 2005. explosion. now, though, mr netanyahu has committed israel to destroying hamas root and branch — something a lot of military observers think will be extraordinarily difficult to do, given the tight knit, overcrowded nature of gaza. a big majority of israelis, according to a new opinion poll organised by the dialog center

there, think that mr netanyahu is responsible for the intelligence failures which led up to the october 7th attack. many israelis also blame the prime minister for allowing hamas to grow in strength because he wanted to weaken the palestinian authority, the pa, in the west bank, in order to ensure it could never bring about a palestinian state. thank you forjoining me and the unspun team. until we meet again, goodbye. good morning. welcome to breakfast

with ben thompson and luxmy gopal. our headlines today: israel says it will ramp up its bombing campaign against hamas in the gaza strip, as it prepares its troops for a possible ground assault. the united nations says it hopes a second aid convoy will be allowed to enter gaza today, after 20 truck loads crossed from egypt on saturday. tributes for the man labelled �*england�*s greatest player�* — the world of football remembers sir bobby charlton who�*s died aged 86. here at old trafford fans have already started leaving their own messages. laying their attributes at the feet of one of united�*s trinity. the career and life of the man who captained them to the first european cup wind. in paris, the england

world cup campaign comes to an end after the narrowest of margins of defeat to south africa. the effects of storm babet continue to be felt, with warnings of dangerous flooding in parts of england and wales. good morning, finally something quieter and more settled. all the weather warnings are lifted and plenty of sunshine for part two of the weekend in the wake of storm babet. but things will turn more unsettled. join me later for all of the details. it�*s sunday 22nd october. our main story: israel says it�*s intensifying airstrikes against hamas in gaza, as it prepares its troops for a possible ground assault. hamas is regarded as a terrorist organisation by the uk and this latest escalation in the language follows its attack on israel two weeks ago. twenty lorries carrying humanitarian aid have been allowed through the rafah crossing, on the border with egypt,

and a second convoy could enter gaza today, but un agencies say this represents a drop in the ocean of what is needed. greg mckenzie reports. the rafah crossing that connects egypt to the southern gaza strip opened for the first time since hamas launched its assault on israel, to allow 20 trucks to carry aid in. today, the un�*s humanitarian chief says a second convoy of 20—30 trucks could enter the region, delivering much—needed aid, but admits the un and israel are having tough but fair discussions about how trucks will be inspected. meanwhile, israel has confirmed increased attacks in gaza, and is urging civilians still in the north to move south. translation: for your own safety, move southward. - we will continue to attack

in the area of gaza city and increase attacks. we are supervising the humanitarian aid that has entered from egypt, to ensure that the water and medicine are distributed in this humanitarian area we have set. reporters: mr president! mr president! _ asked last night whether he was taking action to delay a possible invasion of gaza, president biden said he was talking to israel. their duty to respect international law... both the us and uk governments are still working to free those american and british citizens still trapped in gaza. overnight, israeli aircraft struck a compound beneath a mosque in the occupied west bank, that the military said was being used to organise attacks. greg mackenzie, bbc news. rishi sunak has warned

that the conflict between israel and hamas could spread across the middle east. following a visit to the region, the prime minister said everything possible must be done to prevent a further escalation, and that the uk stands against terrorism. mr sunak also welcomed the reopening of the rafah crossing and said the government was working intensively with international partners to allow trapped british nationals to use it to leave gaza. we�*rejoined now by our middle east correspondent yolande knell. good morning. what is behind the latest stepping up of action by israel? ~ ., latest stepping up of action by israel? a, , , ., israel? more signed the israel military is _ israel? more signed the israel military is getting _ israel? more signed the israel military is getting ready - israel? more signed the israel military is getting ready for i israel? more signed the israel military is getting ready for a l military is getting ready for a ground offensive. the chief of staff was going around railing troops amassed at the edge of the gaza strip and told them we are going into the gaza strip. also a warning

from the military chief�*s spokesman who said airstrikes would now intensify in gaza ahead of the next phase of this war, to make it safer for israeli forces. he again told those people, we believe in hundreds of thousands of people have not left the north of the gaza strip, despite an israeli evacuation order to move from the north to the south, and he told people particularly around gaza city that they should move for their own safety. i heard from people on the ground that they got flies yesterday telling them they would be perhaps classified as perhaps accomplices into a terrorist organisation if they do not move from their homes. many people saying they cannot leave or are not willing to leave at this stage. when it comes to the eight situation, of course, just a drop in the ocean as the un said, a trickle of food, water and medicine under these 20 lorry loads that went into gaza from

egypt. the israeli military said it is watching the going towards a humanitarian area in the south of the gaza strip to make sure there is benefit that goes to hamas before it gives approval for more aid to be allowed in. gives approval for more aid to be allowed in— gives approval for more aid to be allowed in. , .,, ., ., allowed in. focus has also turned to the west bank _ allowed in. focus has also turned to the west bank now _ allowed in. focus has also turned to the west bank now because - allowed in. focus has also turned to the west bank now because of- allowed in. focus has also turned to the west bank now because of a - allowed in. focus has also turned to the west bank now because of a tax stop what more do we know about that? -- stop what more do we know about that? —— attacks. stop what more do we know about that? -- attacks.— that? -- attacks. there was a military attack _ that? -- attacks. there was a military attack inside - that? -- attacks. there was a military attack inside the - that? -- attacks. there was a | military attack inside the jenin military attack inside thejenin refugee camp, flashpoint for violence over the last year and a half. the israeli say they were targeting what they called terrorist operatives who were inside a mosque. damage reported to that mosque and they said the israeli military were planning fresh attacks. what we heard from pelissier medics is one palestinian was killed and other people were injured. the statute

charlton transcended generations and even football itself. his fellow world cup winner geoff hurst described him as: "a true gentleman," said david beckham... commentator: how they cheered as bobby charlton led his men up i to receive the handsome outsized trophy. he was a player who won all there was to win, but he was not defined by his success. his legacy on the game in this country is enormous. but what he will always have i think is the love and affection of all the people, even if the youngsters now, everyone has heard of bobby charlton. the affection no more fond than at old trafford, where this morning a book of condolence will open to pay tribute, where his impact will be forever felt, where his memory will live on, even for those too young to have seen him play. i was brought up a united fan.

through my granddad, and my dad. greatest player that�*s ever lived. he has done so much for the club over the years. he'sjust been there for us all the time. comes to every game. yeah, he's...sorry, i'm just speechless. to me, he'sjust a symbol- of everything united stand for. england manager gareth southgate said: a sentiment echoed by a former england captain. when you consider what he has achieved in the game, he was a giant of our game. i mean, world cups — he won the lot. and if there was anyone that could have been arrogant, it could have been him, but he certainly wasn�*t any of that. he was so nice and humble and kind. what he was, few that have come since have been able to replicate or surpass.

his name will be forever engraved in this game. his memory will not be forgotten. we are going to be live at old trafford later in the programme as previous continued to come in. the prince of wales has led tributes to sir bobby charlton, praising him for his contributions to sport. in a social media post, prince william said he was a "gentleman, legend and a true great "who will be remembered forever." at least six people have been killed after russian missiles hit a mail depot in eastern ukraine overnight. 16 others have been injured at the distribution centre in kharkiv, which is ukraine�*s second largest city. the victims are all said to be civilian workers. around half of the staff manning a drilling platform in the north sea have been airlifted from the site, after four of its eight anchors came loose during storm babet. all 89 crew members

hello, this is breakfast, with ben thompson and luxmy gopal. let�*s revisit the situation in the middle east, as israel warns it is increasing air—strikes against hamas in gaza, and has amassed tanks and troops on the border ahead of an expected ground incursion. hamas says at least 50 people have been killed overnight. the israeli military has urged civilians to keep moving south for their own safety, particularly those living

in gaza city. separately, israel has carried out more deadly airstrikes in the occupied west bank. a mosque injenin has been hit, which the army described as a command centre for hamas terrorists. aid has been allowed into gaza for the first time since hamas launched its attack on israel two weeks ago. un agencies say the delivery of aid so far is a "drop in the ocean" of the amount that�*s needed. negotiations are ongoing to allow a second convoy of at least 20 trucks carrying food, water and medical supplies to enter gaza through the rafah crossing from egypt. we�*rejoined now by sarah davies from the international committee of the red cross. good morning and thank you for being with us. we have seen some of the images there, some relief some aid has finally been able to enter gaza but what are you hearing about the

situation on the ground right now? thank you for having me this morning. yes, as you say, we have seen some aid enter but the situation on the ground in gaza is dire. we are in regular contact with our teams, they are on the ground and the scenes they describe are horrific and unfortunately we are continuing to see the civilian toll of these activities rise. buildings are reduced to rubble, people are using their bare hands to try and find survivors under this rubble. hospitals are at a breaking point. it is important to remember these medical professionals have been working nearly non—stop for over two weeks now because they have no other choice. the medical system, the health system is on its knees. they have been hundreds of thousands of people displaced with only what they

could carry as they left their homes. this situation really is like something out of a nightmare. unfortunately, civilians are currently living through it in gaza. it feels like the answer to my next question might simply be everything but what is most needed right now? what is most needed right now, what we are for is a continued flow of humanitarian supplies and aid into gaza. we know that, yes, trucks had entered, but the needs and scale, this year scale of the need is overwhelming. —— this year scale. notjust supplies but personnel, medical personnel, surgical teams who can start to alleviate some of the pressure and begin to respond to those immediate needs. brute the pressure and begin to respond to those immediate needs.— the pressure and begin to respond to those immediate needs. we know how difficult it has —

those immediate needs. we know how difficult it has been _ those immediate needs. we know how difficult it has been to _ those immediate needs. we know how difficult it has been to simply - difficult it has been to simply negotiate just 20 trucks getting across that crossing between gaza and egypt, given how difficult that was and we know that the need is much, much greater, estimates suggesting hundreds of trucks are needed notjust 20, what hope isn�*t to get people, aid in and people who can provide humanitarian systems —— what hope is there. that crossing at the moment seems very restricted? figs the moment seems very restricted? is you say, there are political negotiations ongoing. with multiple authorities. we at the international committee of the red cross did not take part in those negotiations themselves however we do have dialogues with parties to the conflict to make our concerns known. we are of course reiterating that while we welcome the decision to allow some aid to enter, this needs

to be continued and sustained. people cannot survive with 20 trucks of aid. it really is such a dire situation and we will continue to call both publicly and in our bilateral and confidential discussions for these needs and that does include the personnel that we have already and waiting to enter gaza. ., , ., _, , gaza. the other element is of course the hostage — gaza. the other element is of course the hostage issue, _ gaza. the other element is of course the hostage issue, still— gaza. the other element is of course the hostage issue, still many, i gaza. the other element is of course the hostage issue, still many, many| the hostage issue, still many, many hostages being held and their fate are known but the icrc helped by transporting two of those released hostages from gaza back to israel. what more do you know about the hostage situations and whether negotiations are ongoing to be able to free more of those hostages currently being held?— to free more of those hostages currently being held? yes, we are incredibly relieved _ currently being held? yes, we are incredibly relieved that _ currently being held? yes, we are incredibly relieved that two i currently being held? yes, we are incredibly relieved that two of i incredibly relieved that two of those hostages were able to be

reunited with their families but as you say that, multiple hundreds are still currently held hostage. we are calling for an immediate release of those hostages and also for access to check on their well being and to ensure that we can create communications between them and theirfamilies. this is what communications between them and their families. this is what we do at the icrc around the world as a neutral intermediary. this is our job. we do not take part in the political discussions but we are there to assist the transport as a trusted organisation from both sides. this means a lot of dialogue and discussion we cannot make public for very good reason, but we will continue to do this behind closed doors and continue to work relentlessly to ensure that the families definitely waiting for news, who are in agony for more than

two weeks waiting to see what will unfold can get the reassurance they need, the clarity they need and will continue meeting with these families until the release of these hostages. a really good to have you with us this morning. sarah davis at the international committee of the red cross. ., ., international committee of the red cross. . ~i , ., international committee of the red cross. . «i , ., ., international committee of the red cross. . ., cross. thank you for your time. thank you _ cross. thank you for your time. thank you for— cross. thank you for your time. thank you for much. _ cross. thank you for your time. thank you for much. we - cross. thank you for your time. thank you for much. we will i cross. thank you for your time. l thank you for much. we will have cross. thank you for your time. i thank you for much. we will have the latest later but _ thank you for much. we will have the latest later but now _ thank you for much. we will have the latest later but now let's _ thank you for much. we will have the latest later but now let's turn - thank you for much. we will have the latest later but now let's turn to i latest later but now let's turn to one of the other main stories of the day. and the death of sir bobby charlton. hugh has the sport today and he's outside old trafford where fans have been paying tribute to sir bobby charlton. flowers a nd flowers and scarves behind you. good morning. flowers and scarves behind you. good morninu. ., ., i. flowers and scarves behind you. good morninu. ., ., ,, flowers and scarves behind you. good morninu. ., ., g , morning. hello to you both. just over the morning. hello to you both. just overthe last _ morning. hello to you both. just over the last few _ morning. hello to you both. just over the last few minutes - morning. hello to you both. just over the last few minutes more | morning. hello to you both. just - over the last few minutes more fans have started to arrive and you can see the weather is slightly inclement so perhaps when it clears later on we will have more. this is

where the famous trinity stand is, there are a number of photographs reflecting manchester united's present and past and all of them pictured in these photographs will know of the significant and quite how big an influence sir bobby charlton was on this club and wider english football as well. he has studied the age of 86. there be a book of condolence later on here when it opens at ten a.m.. last night, before the team played against sheffield united, a moment of applause as they reflected upon the 17 year career that sir bobby charlton had at manchester united. during a 17—year first—team career with united sir bobby won three league titles, a european cup and an fa cup. he won 106 caps for england and scored 49 international goals — records for his country at the time. and of course helped england win the world cup in 1966.

he later became a director at united. what he achieved in football was immense, was huge, all the games at the highest level, his performances, winning his titles, scoring his goals, highly contributed to that, but especially his personality off the pitch and it shows the reflection of a big personality and i think the football world lost a big man but i think the whole society, globalwide, losta big personality. i think probably england's greatest ever footballer when you take everything into consideration and what _ everything into consideration and what he — everything into consideration and what he won and achieved. he was a majestic— what he won and achieved. he was a majestic player. beautifully sweet striker_ majestic player. beautifully sweet striker of— majestic player. beautifully sweet striker of the football and also of course _ striker of the football and also of course a — striker of the football and also of course a real gentleman.

a player instantly recognisable, not just because of the famous hairstyle but also the thunderous shot he had, interval and beyond will know who bobby charlton was. these are some of the tributes that have been paid by the great and the good of the game and beyond. his fellow world cup winner sir geoff hurst said: world football governing body fifa said: former manchester united captain gary neville called sir bobby the greatest english footballer and manchester united's greatest ambassador. and newcastle united wrote that he was an ashington lad and it was the passing of a true legend of the game. england fell agonisingly short of a supreme upset and a fifth

rugby world cup final as south africa came from behind to snatch victory in paris. an incredible drop goal by england captain owen farrell put them 15—6 ahead with half an hour to go. victory was within reach even after rg snyman scored the only try of the match. it was england's scrum that collapse over and over again. then with just three minutes to go handre pollard put the world champions in front for the first time and the springboks held on to set up a final encounter with new zealand next weekend. we are disappointed. we came here with a plan to win the game and we felt a little bit short. not far short but a little bit short. we're desperately disappointed with it but i think, as i went talked about that, the player should be incredibly proud for what they have

done and continue to do as represent england. england's cricketers now have to win all of theirfive remaining games in the pool stage of the world cup to have any hopes of advancing to the semifinals after a crushing defeat to south africa in mumbai. a century from heinrich klaasen helped south africa to a massive 399 — the most runs england have ever conceded in an odi match, and jos buttler�*s side ended up losing by their highest ever margin too. ben stokes was back in the side but he couldn't inspire england to that total. they lost in the end by 229 runs. there's international rugby league action on the bbc this afternoon as england take on tonga in the first of three—tests. it's the first time the two nations have met in a series and the first meeting of the sides in six years. we are going to come up against a disciplined side who often play hard and they will come at us, true

professionals. they have great players and weapons. we have a tough test on our hand and something i'm looking forward to an glad to be wearing this shirt. i looking forward to an glad to be wearing this shirt.— looking forward to an glad to be wearing this shirt. i am happy with the talent and _ wearing this shirt. i am happy with the talent and what _ wearing this shirt. i am happy with the talent and what is _ wearing this shirt. i am happy with the talent and what is going - wearing this shirt. i am happy with the talent and what is going to - wearing this shirt. i am happy with the talent and what is going to be | the talent and what is going to be on show_ the talent and what is going to be on show on — the talent and what is going to be on show on sunday. it is a fantastic ground~ _ on show on sunday. it is a fantastic ground~ i_ on show on sunday. it is a fantastic ground. i hope the spectators get behind _ ground. i hope the spectators get behind us — ground. i hope the spectators get behind us and feel it and make it a great _ behind us and feel it and make it a great atmosphere and very intimidating. after 37 years of racing, frankie dettori claimed a fairytale final win on his last british ride as king of steel took the champion stakes at ascot. the 52—year—old had begun the afternoon with victory on trawlerman in the first race of the day, before guiding king of steel home. dettori, who has more than 3,300 wins, initially intended to retire completely from the sport but will now go on to ride

in the united states. i was going to say, as the sun starts to rise, that is perhaps pushing it a little bit, as it lightens, we may start to see fans coming forward with tributes for sir bobby charlton. he has a scarf and many, many flowers and much, much more. ~ , ., ., many, many flowers and much, much more. ~ i. ., more. we will let you have some liuht. more. we will let you have some light- maybe _ more. we will let you have some light. maybe not _ more. we will let you have some light. maybe not the _ more. we will let you have some light. maybe not the sun. - more. we will let you have some light. maybe not the sun. thank| more. we will let you have some - light. maybe not the sun. thank you. see you later. more than a month has passed since wilko closed its distribution centre in worksop. the centre employed around 10% of the 12,500 staff who were made redundant when the company collapsed. although some have been able to find work, others say they fear competition for vacancies

with spencer kelly. cern is one of the most famous centres for science in the world. on the border of switzerland and france, this place has been expanding our horizons for decades. its high—energy physics research has helped reveal the secrets of our existence. and i have been allowed in it to meet some of those at the cutting—edge. 2,500 people work here. 12,000 more pour over the results of the experiments. here at cern, it is a really unique community. it is an international group

of people, so we are from all over the world. you can knock on the door of a nobel prize—winning scientist, ask them a question, and they will say, "come in." "let's talk about it and have a coffee." any young boy or girl's dream to work in science, right, is to go to a place which is like a town of science, and that is what cern really is. it's buzzing with the ideas. it's also buzzing with energy of a different kind, with giant laboratories that feel almost ramshackle. they're not really, though. one thing i love about cern is they seem to have most of the world's supply of tinfoil here. most famously, cern is home to the large hadron collider, the world's biggest machine, built to examine the universe's smallest particles. it smashes them together at almost the speed of light, and the last time i was here, it made me cry. cern lets us do science that no individual country could do by itself, so we can build fantastic machines like the large hadron collider — big, complex international

projects where the world comes together to do it. the thing about this place though is that the stuff that goes on here is highly theoretical and experimental, and it kind feels really abstract and not really relevant to our everyday lives, but plenty of stuff that has been developed here has filtered down to the real world. well, the high—energy beams that are whizzing around cern are created by particle accelerators — big ones. but there are many, many smaller ones around the world, and some of those are in hospitals, and they are being used to treat something that will affect a great many of us during our lifetimes — cancer. this is the christie in manchester — europe's largest cancer hospital — and it is one of two places in the uk where cancer patients come to be treated with proton beam therapy.

it is a special form of radiotherapy which usually uses radiation — high—energy x—rays — to try and kill tumours in the body, but the christie has a particle accelerator, and that means they can fire beams of protons at the cancer. when radiation goes into a patient, obviously you want to use it to kill the tumour, but it goes through normal healthy tissue, and that gives rise to the side effects. protons being particles slow down as they enter the tissue, and they stop within the tumour and do not go any further. and that means that this form of radiotherapy can be used in really tricky parts of the body. for example, something like the brainstem, which we know is very sensitive to radiation. so, it is very much putting the beam precisely into the tumour and not going into the sensitive organ. all types of cancer treatments risk harming healthy tissue

near to the tumour and research is ongoing around the world to try and minimise this collateral damage. there has been at least one recent, rather strange, finding. it is to do with how quickly and how hard you deliver the dose of radiation, and it is called the flash effect. so, you deliver the radiation in a very intense burst to the tumour instead of on several seconds, for example. you condense it in milliseconds. for a physicist, this should not make any difference, but it seems like when you deliver radiation like this, the tumour gets damaged, the healthy tissue does not get damaged, and of course it could be game changing because you could forget everything about damaging surrounding tissues, etc, and it is as if the particles would know, "this is a healthy cell, this is a cancer cell."

now, we have got recent results, not published yet, that seems to indicate that we do spare the normal tissue and we might do even more damage to the tumour, so it might be even better than people say it is. flash is tremendously exciting, and i think it is a bit "watch this space." back at cern, i am visiting a project that is looking for a different way to specifically target cancer. this robot is handling a radioactive material created by cern's medicis experiment, which is looking at doing something really cool with it. they can attach it to specially engineered molecules that you can inject into the body and which will only stick to cancer cells. now, when that happens, the radioactive material shines like a beacon, and it can be picked up on scanners, so suddenly you can see exactly where the cancer is. then you can do something that

i think sounds even better. you can attach a different type of radioactive material to those engineered molecules, and when they stick to the cancer cells, the radioactive material kills only the cancer cells. and they leave everything else around it unharmed. this combination of therapeutics and diagnostics is called theranostics, and its use in the treatment of some prostate cancers was approved in the us in 2022. the peter maccallum cancer centre in australia told us that their ongoing clinical trials have shown it can improve the quality of life and extend life for some men with aggressive prostate cancer. this is a lab that attracts

the heaviest metal. metallica, the pixies, arcade fire was here, my friend roger waters down here along the bottom, muse was here. all of the rock stars want to meetjeffrey hangst, whose decade—long project — nay, obsession — could be about to make him a legend. in this building, they are making the rarest and most expensive material in the known universe. antimatter! antimatter is the stuff of science fiction that turns out to be science fact. our universe is made of tiny particles of matter, and in theory, every type of particle has an equivalent anti—particle. an evil twin that is the same in almost every way. but the thing is, there is almost none of it in the known universe.

which is actually quite a good thing — because antimatter and matter do not get along. so what happens when matter meets antimatter? well, they are incompatible, they annihilate each other and release a bunch of energy or other particles. it is a microscopically nasty business. yeah, that is an understatement, shall we say. the enormous release of energy when the two meet has inspired science fiction writers to imagine it being used to create the ultimate weapon, to power entire civilisations and to provide enough fuel to explore the galaxy. one of the popular themes in science fiction is we use matter and antimatter, combine them to produce almost limitless energy. is that going to be possible? well, when you state it like that, it's exactly true. if you had some antimatter and used it to annihilate matter, you make an incredible amount of energy per kilogram. that is what antimatter does.

the problem is that we don't have any, we have to make it. and we kind of suck at making it, in terms of how much energy we need to put into it. so it takes much, much more energy than you would ever get out again — it is a complete loser from the science—fiction standpoint. so i can't help you out with the starship. that makes me a little bit sad. nonetheless, here at the antimatter factory — yeah, that's its actual name — jeffrey has succeeded in creating the opposite of the simplest element in the universe... ..anti—hydrogen. once the antimatter is created, it flies really, really fast around a ring that is behind all of these thick concrete blocks. and you know what thick concrete blocks mean — it means you really don't want to be anywhere nearer to the stuff that is on the other side of them. and by looking at how anti—hydrogen behaves, jeffrey is hoping to answer one

of the universe's biggest mysteries. why is there no antimatter left in the universe? shouldn't matter and antimatter have been created in equal amounts in the big bang, and shouldn't it all have just cancelled out, leaving nothing behind? jeffrey�*s project is looking for an explanation, by testing to see if there is a slight imbalance — if anti—hydrogen does not in fact behave the same as normal hydrogen. maybe gravity affects it ever so slightly differently. this is the top of the alpha g machine, where g stands for gravity. this is the device that we are using to try and answer the question, "what happens to antimatter if you drop it in the gravitational field of the earth?" if your experiment found that anti—hydrogen falls up instead of down under gravity,

what happens next? that would be super cool. that would be a complete revolution in science. that's a completely unanticipated result and would mean new physics, and probably a nobel prize for somebody who happens to be involved. i don't want to say me, because i helped bring the news to everyone, so can i get a bit of it? i will invite you. and that's all we have time for in the short cut of click at cern. please do check out the full length version. there is plenty more mind—blowing stuff waiting for you and it's on iplayer right now. thank you very much for watching and we will see you soon.

discussions about how trucks will be inspected. meanwhile, israel has confirmed increased attacks in gaza and is urging civilians still in the north to move south. translation: for your own safety, move southward. - we will continue to attack in the area of gaza city and increase attacks. we are supervising the humanitarian aid that is entered to unwra from egypt to ensure that the water and medicine are distributed in this humanitarian area we have set. reporters: mr president, mr president! _ asked last night whether he was taking steps to delay an imminent invasion of gaza, mr bowden said he was taking action. their duty — to respect international law. both the us and uk governments

and integrity". ben croucher has this report. remembering one of the very best. for manchester united and england sir bobby charlton shone brightest amongst the greatest to have ever played the game. now football united to pay its respects. very sad. so our thoughts are with his family. the football world lost a big man, but i think the whole society, global wide, lost a big personality. maybe a shot from charlton. it's worth trying. a great goal scorer and the scorer of great goals. charlton transcended generations and even football itself. his fellow world cup winner, geoff hurst, described him as a great colleague and friend who will be missed by all of the country beyond sport alone. a true gentleman, said david beckham, a national hero. it isn'tjust a sad day for football, but everything bobby represented. how they cheered as bobby charlton

led his men up to receive _ the handsome, outsized trophy. he was a player who won all there was to win, but he wasn't defined by his success. his legacy on the game in this country is is enormous. is enormous. but what he'll always have, i think, is the love and affection of all the people, even the youngsters now. everyone's heard of bobby charlton. the affection no more fond than at old trafford, where this morning a book of condolence will open to pay tribute, where his impact will be forever felt, where his memory will live on, even for those too young to have seen him play. brought up a united fan through my grandad, my dad. greatest player to ever live. he's done so much for. the club over the years. he's just been there i for us for all the time. he just comes to every game. yeah. i'm sorry. i'm speechless. to me, he's just a symbol of everything united stand for. england manager gareth southgate said the privilege of meeting him allowed me to understand

the personal pride and emotion in having represented england and simply confirmed in my mind his standing as one of the gentlemen of the game. a sentiment echoed by a former england captain. when you consider what he's achieved in the game. he was a giant of our game, world cups and won the lot. and if there was anyone that could have been arrogant, it could have been him. but he certainly wasn't any of that. he was so nice and humble and kind. what he was a few that have come since have been able to replicate or surpass, his name will be forever engraved in this game. his memory will not be forgotten. the prince of wales has led tributes to sir bobby charlton, praising him for his contributions to sport. in a social media post prince william said he was a "gentleman, legend and a true great who will be remembered forever."

indicator, no pressure clearing from the north of scotland but we have more waiting in the wings for later on monday and beyond. today it's a chilly start up there, early mist and fog. some showers affecting north west england, parts of north—west scotland, south—west england, some of them developing further inland parts of the midland, some into parts of the south—east but most places staying dry, top temperatures 16 degrees, no teens further north across scotland and northern ireland. a fine end to the day, temperatures tumbling overnight, light winds, some first developing across northern england into scotland, some mist and fog developing but less cold across the south and west as we start to see the weather front encroaching. it will lift temperatures up, the bees picking up as well. you can see why the pace is picking up, i surpass in the pace is picking up, i surpass in the chart, on monday we have frontal systems edging from the south into southern areas but we start cold,

chilly, first across northern areas, mist and fog, crisp sunshine around but the cloud building across central and southern england and wales, northern ireland, the bees picking up, splashes of rain moving in what the next frontal system bringing it to what end to the day and into the evening. 15, 16 degrees in the south, low teens in the north. that precious across northern ireland, southern scotland, into the north sea, on tuesday it clears, rain in the east, wang north east scotland, the bees increasing and the next frontal system pushing into the next frontal system pushing into the south—west but i weather in between. temperatures are generally low to mid—teens. an unsettled look for the upcoming week but the better of me says the system should not throw quickly as opposed to storm babet which remained in situ across the uk for some days which is why we have seen so much rainfall.

the labour party secured two by—election victories this week in tamworth and mid—bedfordshire — overturning two conservative majorities from the 2019 general election. back injuly, 25—year—old labour candidate keir mather won the selby and ainsty by—election — overturning another conservative majority. keir became the youngest serving mp in the commons, and our political reporterjames vincentjoined him on his first day in parliament. big day? have you written your speech? i have only shown it to a few people. in terms of how long you have waited for this, you are quite young. this must be a huge moment. i will remember it for my life. are you feeling the pressure? yes, you've just got to do it in a way which is open, you ask your

colleagues for advice. see you in a bit. mr speaker, it is a vast constituency with no one single centre of gravity. ancient patterns of agriculture have created a complex tapestry of villages and towns with a unique attribute. on her first day, you towns with a unique attribute. on herfirst day, you remember it. it is like hog warts. yes, you get a sense of the gravity. it is a shock when i walk past the policeman and they don't stop me. the glamour of westminster. such a glamorous office. wait until you see it. do you think people assume it is more glamorous? they might think it is bigger, but it is good enough for me. how was your campaign? you talked about wearing your suit. yes, i went in a t—shirt and they asked

their years at that fact. i really hope to be a representative of the power. what an amazing privilege to be introduced by the speaker of the house, i won't forget it. that was james vincent reporting. we'rejoined now by george parker, political editor of the financial times — and mo hussein, former chief press officer to number 10. good morning to you both. we were hearing from the labour candidate who won the selby by—election, and that was a long—term conservative heartland in yorkshire. if we start with you, george, how much do these recent by—elections indicate what could happen in a general election? you have to purchase disclaimers that by—elections have low turnouts,

lower than general election. you can see a trend. george osborne was saying the swing is on, and sometimes when it is on, it is difficult to turn it back. you saw it in the by—election in selby, and we've just seen it in it in the by—election in selby, and we'vejust seen it in mid bedfordshire and tamworth, two seat normally seen as the safest conservative seats, but they were demolished by the labour party on some of the biggest swings. and in the case of tamworth, it was the biggest majority overturned. sorry, the mid bedfordshire one was the biggest numerical one in history. it shows keir starmer has got a huge opportunity to get a hearing from the country. it doesn't mean he sealed the deal, but people are listening to him as a potential future prime minister. i listening to him as a potential future prime minister. i wonder how downin: future prime minister. i wonder how downing street _ future prime minister. i wonder how downing street will _ future prime minister. i wonder how downing street will have _ future prime minister. i wonder how downing street will have looked - future prime minister. i wonder how downing street will have looked at l downing street will have looked at the results of these by—elections,

because we here adhere greg hands was saying this was about low turnout, people didn't turn out. in the general election it will be different. but that apathy of voters who say they don't vote because it doesn't represent what they want. that is the challenge for both parties going forward. it that is the challenge for both parties going forward.- that is the challenge for both parties going forward. it is, the aeneral parties going forward. it is, the general election _ parties going forward. it is, the general election isn't _ parties going forward. it is, the general election isn't far - parties going forward. it is, the general election isn't far away. | parties going forward. it is, the l general election isn't far away. if you are _ general election isn't far away. if you are just banking on a low turnout. _ you are just banking on a low turnout, what will galvanise them to vote in _ turnout, what will galvanise them to vote in the _ turnout, what will galvanise them to vote in the next 12 months? of course. — vote in the next 12 months? of course, you'll hear these lines from the conservatives. greg is in a difficult — the conservatives. greg is in a difficult position, there will be some — difficult position, there will be some blame on local factors, mps behaving — some blame on local factors, mps behaving badly, which may have some resonance _ behaving badly, which may have some resonance with people. a lot of these _ resonance with people. a lot of these by—elections have come from controversy, but they are anomalies themselves. they have been mid—term

defeat breeds to feed. if you look like a loser, it is a difficult impression to shake. rishi sunak needs to get back on the front foot, show he is in charge and notjust biding time until the general election, which we expect to happen next year. he's got the king speech on the 7th of november, a chance for the government to set out its legislative priorities. there is a mini budget on the 23rd of november, then rishi sunak can reshuffle his cabinet before christmas. these can make a difference. time is running out. we are into the last year of election. the problem those by—elections is the public seem to be tuning rishi sunak out, as if the party aren't being heard any more. and we saw keir starmer attended those victory rallies in both of

those victory rallies in both of those constituencies. lots of phrases, but he said we can't get too carried away, but he said it was history in the making. you think labour think they have this in the bag already? i labour think they have this in the has already?— labour think they have this in the bag already? i don't think they've aot bag already? i don't think they've not it in bag already? i don't think they've got it in the _ bag already? i don't think they've got it in the bag. _ bag already? i don't think they've got it in the bag, certainly - bag already? i don't think they've got it in the bag, certainly from i got it in the bag, certainly from the leadership there is still some caution _ the leadership there is still some caution and the recognition that actually. — caution and the recognition that actually, you need to go out and win every— actually, you need to go out and win every single — actually, you need to go out and win every single vote and you need to appeal— every single vote and you need to appeal to — every single vote and you need to appeal to people who are not minded to vote _ appeal to people who are not minded to vote for— appeal to people who are not minded to vote for you. to get the majority they want _ to vote for you. to get the majority they want to get, there will have to be people _ they want to get, there will have to be people who haven't thought about the labour— be people who haven't thought about the labour party as a credible option — the labour party as a credible option if— the labour party as a credible option. if you look at where they have _ option. if you look at where they have won — option. if you look at where they have won recently in scotland, the red watt. _ have won recently in scotland, the red wall, conservative heartlands, it shows _ red wall, conservative heartlands, it shows a — red wall, conservative heartlands, it shows a pattern which should be worrying _ it shows a pattern which should be worrying for the prime minister and number— worrying for the prime minister and number ten. worrying for the prime minister and numberten. keeping up worrying for the prime minister and number ten. keeping up this sense of discipline. _ number ten. keeping up this sense of discipline, this sense of being on message — discipline, this sense of being on message and looking ahead to the next few— message and looking ahead to the next few months in terms of what

this morning. being paid to sir bobby charlton this morning-— this morning. yes, hello. the weather is — this morning. yes, hello. the weather is not _ this morning. yes, hello. the weather is not playing - this morning. yes, hello. the weather is not playing ball. . this morning. yes, hello. the i weather is not playing ball. even though the heavens have opened, it has not deterred the first few fans from coming to pay their respects to sir bobby charlton, who died at 86 yesterday, a man globally renowned because even though he was in the pre—internet era, he was one of those who did not only transcends the game, but also in the modern era, even now, he transcends the tribalism in the game. the fans laid a manchester city scarf here. hopefully it will brighten up and more will come. last night, the team had an opportunity to pay their respects at sheffield united.

during a 17—year first—team career with united, sir bobby won three league titles, a european cup and an fa cup. he won 106 caps for england and scored 49 international goals — records for his country at the time. and of course helped england win the world cup in 1966. he later became a director at united. a really sad day. obviously for us boysin a really sad day. obviously for us boys in the hotel and finding out the news, it hit as hard. he's been a huge part of this club, notjust when he was playing, but he's been a great ambassador, a role model. and he came into the dressing room a lot after games, whether we won or lost. he shook hands and had a big smile on his face. you felt the presence and respect. our thoughts are with his loved ones and family. the quiet

authority of — his loved ones and family. the quiet authority of bobby _ his loved ones and family. the quiet authority of bobby charlton - his loved ones and family. the quiet authority of bobby charlton is i authority of bobby charlton is something you will hear from everybody. he geoff hurst made the tributes yesterday. sir geoff hurst said a great colleague and friend, "he will be sorely missed by all of the country beyond sport alone." world football governing body fifa said... "we mourn the loss of one of england's1966 world cup winning team and a football legend." former manchester united captain gary neville called sir bobby the greatest english footballer and manchester united's greatest ambassador. and newcastle united wrote that he was an ashington [ad and it was the passing of a true legend of the game. england fell agonisingly short of a supreme upset and a fifth rugby world cup final

as south africa came from behind to snatch victory in paris, as andy swiss reports. after such hope for england, such heartache, despite pushing the world champions so close, their world cup dream is over. they began as underdogs against south africa, but in the soggy conditions, they produced a tactical masterclass four owen farrell penalties and they [ed 12 six at the break and soon it got even better. farrell with a quite mammoth drop goal to extend their lead as south africa just couldn't get a grip. it's a monster. it was scrappy. it was slippery. but england were loving it. finally, though, the springboks stirred. and suddenly they were just two points behind. and withjust minutes remaining, what drama? there's handre pollard.

long range penalty put south africa in front and amid unbearable tension, they clung on for victory, a match which england had dominated for so long, ending in the cruellest disappointment so near to the final, and yet so agonisingly far. we're disappointed. we came here with a plan to win the game, and we fell a little bit short and not far short, but a little bit short. so we're desperately disappointed with it. i think as owen talked about there, the players should be incredibly proud of what they've done and continue to do as they represent england rugby. well, the england fans here can take huge pride from that performance. so nearly one of the great world cup shocks, but instead their hopes have been dashed. and how. andy swiss, bbc news, paris. england's cricketers now have to win all of their five remaining games in the pool stage of the world cup to have any hopes of advancing to the semi—finals after a crushing defeat

to south africa in mumbai. a century from heinrich klaasen helped south africa to a massive 399 — the most runs england have ever conceded in an odi match, and jos buttler�*s side ended up losing by their highest ever margin too. ben stokes was back in the side but he couldn't inspire england to that total. they lost in the end by 229 runs. so, sir bobby charlton has passed away, and it is a club, manchester united, that is in a fairly chaotic position off the field with ownership up in the air and huge questions about the future and present with united not providing the thrills on the pitch. the reasons those emotions stay strong and expectations are high because of the relative stability bobby charlton provided over his hugely successful career with the club. it is that history that put manchester

united at the forefront of football now, i'd imagine a great deal of distance into the future. sir bobby charlton passed away at the age of 86, huge tighten of the game and in manchester. back to you. you, thank you for the tributes. i know you said the weather was rubbish, but it was poignant seeing the raindrops on the statue. quite fitting. it is a bit rubbish. technical term. we have more detail. it is quite a mixed bag. it is. it looks miserable. there is a line of showers into sheffield, which should ease down over the next few hours. i will show you these rainfall totals from a selection of places across the uk since wednesday, over 200

millimetres in perthshire. that is nearly eight inches. in a number of places, values of over 100, north wales, the midlands and northern england, so no surprise falling on saturated ground. the moment we have no weather warnings, just flood warnings. today looks fine and tried, low—pressure clearing from the north, taking the rain with breezy with showers, and the showers across north—west england, western scotland, south—west wales should ease. we could see the odd one developed in the midlands across the south—east. most places staying dry, light winds, top temperatures of 15 or16 light winds, top temperatures of 15 or 16 in the south, low teens in scotland and northern ireland. a fine and, most of the showers will fade. underthe fine and, most of the showers will fade. under the clear skies, tonight will to colds, especially the

midlands. possibly a touch of frost into the scottish glens and expose part of northern england. temperatures rising across southern britain and into northern ireland. these weather fronts push from the south with increasing reasons. we see a change later on monday, low pressure from the south, bringing a speu pressure from the south, bringing a spell of wet weather on monday night. monday is not a bad day, it chilly start, fog around, lifting and plenty of sunshine. a glorious day. the cloud building across southern britain later on, some splashes of rain, strengthening easterly winds. temperatures up to 15 or 16, turning more humid, northern area stay chilly. the rain splashes across much of england's monday night, pushes into the north sea and another frontal system comes into southern areas as we move into

tuesday. some sunshine through the midlands to northern ireland and western scotland, so not a bad day. a mixed day on tuesday, temperatures of 11-15 . a mixed day on tuesday, temperatures of 11—15 . unsettled for the rest of the new week, autumnal weather, windy weather followed by sunshine. and typical temperatures. hopefully nothing as severe as what we had over the past few days. that context is important. it looks a bit wet. thank you. heavenly sounds are filling the airwaves of londonderry over the next few days, as more than 2000 singers are in town. the city's international choir festival — which is celebrating its tenth anniversary — attracts groups from all over the world, as our reporter keiron tourish explains.

in all the years since it started, the city of derry choral festival has welcomed 10,000 singers from across the world, from australia, america and all over europe. but it's the local youngsters who are always the most excited. ijust love singing. it's like one of my favorite things to do and i've loved it forever, so i'm really excited to be doing this competition and be with all my friends. and it's so much fun to do this sort of thing and be with my friends in this choir. it's faced many challenges, too, not least the pandemic. events were staged online to make sure it continued. we've battled pandemic, we've had virtual festivals, we've had partial festivals where it's been a mixture of online presentation and live. but thankfully, we're fully back

to live events at this stage. there's a message that this area, the northwest part of this island, is a centre for wonderful cultural activity generally, but singing in particular. so that message has gone out nationally and it's gone out globally so that we've welcomed choirs literally from every continent. well, bar the antarctic. a lovely bit of music for a sunday morning. we've followed the story of manchester arena bombing survivor martin hibbert here on breakfast, and you might remember he completed an incredible challenge last year by climbing mount kilimanjaro in a wheelchair. he became only the second paraplegic to do this, and at the same time, raised £1 million for charity. before we speak to him, let's take a look back at his challenge.

massed on the border roll into the gaza strip. and this week some moments of relief in the darkness of war. joy for one family as us hostages are released by hamas after being abducted in that brutal assault on israel. and some relief as aid trucks cross from egypt into gaza for the first time since the war erupted. it follows a week of diplomacy

as leaders from around the world race to stop this conflict spreading. we cannot give up on peace. we cannot give up on a two—state solution. an explosion at a hospital in gaza, still heavily contested, threw those efforts off course. rishi sunak flew to the middle east to give support to israel. we will stand with you in solidarity, we will stand with your people, and we also want you to win — thank you. while back at home, the political sands look to be shifting. labour party, 11,719 votes. cheering and applause two historic by—election victories put sir keir starmer potentially on the path to taking rishi sunak�*s place on the global stage after the next general election. fed up to the back teeth of 13 years of decline under this government. as this horrific conflict continues to cause suffering for so many, what will it take to solve it

and how can our politicians play their part?
