more aid enters gaza. but charities say much more is desperately needed. israel warns its military campaign against hamas could last months. over the past day it's intensified air strikes on gaza. and following the heavy rain from storm babet, the environment agency warns that flooding could continue in the coming days. hello welcome back to jerusalem. just heard a third convoy of aid trucks has been able to enter the rafah crossing from egypt bound for the gaza strip. aid workers and two security sources have confirmed a third delivery of aid. deliveries through the crossing began on

saturday after wrangling over procedures and inspections of the aid trucks. all of this taking place as the bombardment over the gaza strip has intensified on behalf of israel and more than a million people in gaza have been displaced, moving to the south of the city. excuse me, to the south of gaza. we heard recently from the chief military spokesperson for the idf. rear admiral daniel hagari has updated the number of hostages inside gaza as 222. that's an increase in the number taken on the 7th of october following the unprecedented attack inside israel in which moo people unprecedented attack inside israel in which m00 people were massacred. this comes as the united states says israel has agreed to continue a flow of aid into gaza as it intensifies its aerial bombardment of the gaza strip.

the united nations has been warning of a humanitarian catastrophe. there are hundreds of aid trucks on the border although we are hearing initial reports of a third convoy of limited trucks being able to cross but no confirmation as to when they might reach civilians inside gaza. israel says it is focusing its aerial bombardment on hamas infrastructure and has targeted dozens of targets overnight. that's to the south and meanwhile in the north of the country, the israeli military says it struck two cells of the iran backed hezbollah militia, they are operating in southern lebanon. israel says hezbollah were planning to launch anti—tank missiles and rockets towards israel. there's been an increase of cross border fire between israel there's been an increase of cross borderfire between israel and border fire between israel and hezbollah borderfire between israel and hezbollah in recent days with fears the conflict could spread into the

wider region. tamara alrifai from the united nations relief and works agency for palestine refugees. she spoke on why the aid just isn't enough given the in gaza. in quantity and in content. m, 15, 20 trucks per day is very, very little in the face of the immense needs of people in gaza. all over gaza, including 400,000 internally displaced people who are currently taking shelter in schools and buildings. one very important point to keep reiterating and thanks bbc for giving us airtime is no fuel is entering into gaza, no fuel has come into gaza over the last two weeks. it has not been part of the convoys of last night and the day before.

without fuel we are not going to be able to move any trucks around, we're not going to be able to generate electricity that is much for water dissemination plants and for life—support machines in hospitals. of course, israel has said that although it has agreed to allow aid to continue into the gaza strip after it had tightened its siege, it said it faced unprecedented attacks on its soil. just over two weeks ago, a massacre, hostages taken into the gaza strip. it says this is a fight for its existence and its concern about fuel is that hamas, which governs gaza it would take fuel supplies and use it in its attacks against israel? the united nations,

and the international humanitarian organisations as a group will guarantee that the fuel and all humanitarian supplies, the food, the medical supplies, the mattresses, all humanitarian supplies will be used to assist civilians in gaza, particularly those who have been displaced. and so making sure that the convoys are regular, safe, unimpeded and completely governed by the needs that are identified by the un, in particular the organisation i represent, in particular because unwra delivers the aid itself. my own colleagues in gaza are the ones going around the different shelters assessing the needs, distributing bread in cooperation with the world food programme. there is no better guarantee than the united nations in such a situation.

as you say, unwra is vital inside gaza at the best of times. the un says 80% of gaza's population before this recent escalation over the last two weeks was already reliant on aid. the un has said we're looking at a humanitarian catastrophe, it's given examples of 50,000 pregnant women at the moment enduring this siege in the gaza strip. the international community is pressing israel to let humanitarian aid in, but also recognises israel's concern about the safety of its citizens and its desire to defend itself. the crimes that happened on the 7th of october are horrible and condemned at the highest level of the united nations, by the united nations secretary—general. having said that, even during conflicts there are rules,

primary within these rules is the protection and assistance of civilians, all civilians, those not taking part in the combat. including humanitarian workers. i say this because we at unwra have already lost 29 colleagues in gaza. this is not acceptable, it is not ok and clearly should not bring more killing and the response to the killing shouldn't be more killing. this is a call by unwra, by the international humanitarian community to allow us to do our work with unimpeded access. not one—off, or two—off access of trucks into gaza. we need a continual flow of humanitarian assistance that includes fuel to go into gaza every day and to allow us to respond to the needs all over the strip, notjust in the south. people are displaced in our schools,

in unwra schools in the north, in the middle and in the south of gaza and we need safe passage all over the strip. i was speaking there to our guest from the united nations relief and works agency which hands out aid directly on the ground inside the gaza strip. earlier i spoke to azriel bermant, a senior researcher at the institute of international relationsa bout the diplomatic efforts to try and resolve this conflict. the united states and other allies of israel, britain, germany, are doing everything they possibly can to support israel. on the other hand, to try and prevent the war escalating out of control. the

trouble is is that iran, the united states is doing what it can to deter iran and hezbollah from getting involved. but at the moment, iran is escalating its rhetoric, dreich has been attacking israel in the border area, a number of soldiers have been killed and this could easily spill out of control —— hezbollah has been attacking. we out of control -- hezbollah has been attackina. ~ . , ., attacking. we heard there is an attem -t attacking. we heard there is an attempt at _ attacking. we heard there is an attempt at coordination, - attacking. we heard there is an attempt at coordination, that i attacking. we heard there is an i attempt at coordination, that the united states are working with various european governments in an attempt to put pressure on israel and powers across the region and the us of course stepping up its military presence as a deterrent, it says. i military presence as a deterrent, it sa s. ~' military presence as a deterrent, it sa 5. ~' . , says. i think actually the united states is having _ says. i think actually the united states is having an _

release of hostages and also to avoid an escalation of the war. that's all from jerusalem for this hour. let's go back to catherine in the studio in london thank you and we look forward to more of your coverage. some breaking news now — the former prime minister of pakistan imran khan has been indicted in a leaked documents case. he was was jailed in august for three years over graft but when his sentence was later overturned, he was instead kept in custody on the far more serious charge of sharing state documents. our pakistan correspondent caroline davies sent us the latest. i am outside the centraljail in rawalpindi, commonly referred to as adiala prison, and it is here that former prime minister imran khan and former foreign minister shah mahmood qureshi, have both been indicted on two charges. they will stand trial on two charges relating

to what the prosecution says is leaking classified documents. this has been referred to as the cipher case because imran khan in march of 2022 appeared on stage at a rally waving a piece of paper that he said was a letter from a foreign power that suggested a conspiracy against the government. the words that he used were, "all will be forgiven for pakistan if imran khan is removed from power." the charges that the prosecution have levied against both of them is that, firstly, they leaked classified documents and, secondly, that by doing so there was an impact on diplomatic relations. although imran khan didn't mention the foreign power, he was repeatedly critical of the united states and the american government's involvement. now, the first charge, the fact that they say he leaked these documents, that holds a maximum sentence of two years. but the second charge, that it had an impact on diplomatic relations, that maximum sentence can be life imprisonment or even the death penalty. in his defence imran khan and shah mahmood qureshi's lawyers

have said that imran khan never revealed the exact details of what was in that letter, that instead he talked about what was the gist. secondly, it did not have an impact on diplomatic relations. imran khan's party have also been heavily critical of the fact that this case is happening inside the jail where journalists are not able to attend. they say that is a violation of human rights and transparency. we know that this court case will continue and will continue inside the jail. we know the next court hearing is going to be on the 27th of october. argentina's presidential election will go to a run—off next month, after partial results from the first round put the governing party's candidate in the lead. economy minister sergio massa won the first round, with the outcome surprising most pollsters. he'll face second place finisher—right wing populist

because no one received the necessary 45% it will go to a november run—off where he will face right—wing wing populist javier milei. our south america correspondent katy watson has the latest from buenos aires. javier milei is no longer the star of the show and people here are relieved about that. argentina's polls are notoriously unreliable, they didn't see javier milei's rise coming in the august primaries, so the next four weeks until the second round will be hugely uncertain for argentina until they pick the next president. but one thing is clear, whoever wins is going to have a huge job on their hands trying to turn around an economy and a population in crisis. many people looking at argentina will wonder how on earth a man in charge of the economy, sergio massa, in charge of the economy with inflation that has risen to nearly mo%, can even win this. but it says a lot more about the alternatives, javier milei's policies,

wanting to destroy the central bank, wanting to introduce the dollar as the official currency, people here are nervous about some of those plans. others of course are very excited. we will see those two men face off in the run—off in four weeks' time. earlier we spoke to our bbc mundo's matias zibell who gave us the latest on the argentina elections. in the primary election, we have an anger about that went directly to javier milei and now javier milei provoked a fear vote that went straight to sergio massa. he is the other candidate who is the biggest concern of most of the people in argentina that provoked this incredible fact that the economy minister got the most votes. and this election has shown just how polarised and divided argentine society is. how do you think

this has come about? we don't know. we have now in the second round on the 19th of november the classical vote that will go to the party of sergio massa and the other will go to javier milei. it is going to be so clear, 50—50. there are a lot of people who are scared ofjavier milei, so we have to wait. so the economy has been a key issue. what are some of the other challenges that will face the next president of argentina? ok, in the economy side the inflation, obviously, the conversion of the dollar. on the other side, we have more than 40% of the people in the country living in poverty and that comes with a security problem as well. it is notjust an economic

challenge, but a social challenge as well. so after the first round what we might see is either one of these top candidates trying to form alliances, trying to get other people behind them. how are they going to manage that? who are they going to be looking to to try to get support to be the president? the most certain votes will go to the votes of the centre—right. sergio massa has called for a national unity government. javier milei has called for a vote. they will keep looking for these votes until it is the last minute of the election. here, the environment agency has warned that flooding could continue for the coming days after heavy rain from storm babet.

there are still 116 flood warnings in force across england. meanwhile, scotland's first minister humza yousaf will visit brechin in angus which saw severe flooding. greg mackenzie reports. residents from more than 500 homes in this nottinghamshire town have been evacuated due to flooding caused by storm babet. retford county council told people they were at risk from high water levels along the river idle. for many, this leisure centre is home for now. we've taken everything apart from the big three piece suite and turned the water off, turned the electric off. and that's all you can do. in neighbouring stapleford, one resident's had to cut short his holiday to see the damage for himself. my daughter phoned me and says, "your bungalow�*s under water." "oh, that's a very nice surprise for us.

yes." so we're just basically landed at east midlands airport. before i knew it there was no root out by car and lots of areas were flooding a lot but you didn't quite make it home. i flooding a lot but you didn't quite make it home.— flooding a lot but you didn't quite make it home. ., , ., ., make it home. i almost made it home but unfortunately _ make it home. i almost made it home but unfortunately i _ make it home. i almost made it home but unfortunately i got _ make it home. i almost made it home but unfortunately i got slightly - but unfortunately i got slightly engulfed with the car on the way back and — engulfed with the car on the way back and was rescued by a very kind farmer_ back and was rescued by a very kind farmer in _ back and was rescued by a very kind farmer in a — back and was rescued by a very kind farmer in a tractor. in a back and was rescued by a very kind farmer in a tractor.— farmer in a tractor. in a village in south yorkshire, _ farmer in a tractor. in a village in south yorkshire, the _ farmer in a tractor. in a village in south yorkshire, the devastation j south yorkshire, the devastation caused by storm babet too much to bear. its caused by storm babet too much to bear. , . , , ., bear. its really hit me this morning and how much _ bear. its really hit me this morning and how much we've _ bear. its really hit me this morning and how much we've lost. - bear. its really hit me this morning and how much we've lost. some i bear. its really hit me this morning l and how much we've lost. some very sentimental things. it's just awful. four people are confirmed to have

died. a man in his 60s passed away in shropshire and two people have died in scotland, including 57—year—old wendy taylor who was swept away by river water. derbyshire police says it's investigating the death of a woman investigating the death of a woman in her 80s who died in chesterfield after her home was flooded. scotland's first minister humza yousaf will visit angus where the river burst its banks flooding dozens of homes. many families are unlikely to be back in their properties before christmas. local authorities say the clean—up operation could take days if not weeks. meanwhile, the environment agency has warned that rivers are at record levels in parts of the midlands and northern england and with water still rising, there is still a risk of further flooding.

the scottish first minister humza yousaf has visited brechin and he met residents affected by the flooding following storm babet. some of them had lucky escapes during the floods. he was able to meet and thank some of the emergency services who had been working since the storm hit parts of scotland. now, it's on the market for £35 million, but campaigners are warning that a northumbrian beauty spot could "drastically change" when it's sold as part of england's biggest land sale. local groups say more should be done to help communities protect the land. mark denten reports. the rothbury estate — mile after mile of open country. but this place is more than just a landscape. it's our heritage. so our ancestors were farming this

land, looking after this land, living on this land before the pyramids were built in egypt. in the summer, the estate's 9,500 acres went up for sale. the first time that's happened since 1328. the price tag, £35 million. there are four bidders for the largest single block of land to be sold in england in the last 30 years. i think we might see the estate change drastically. where you would see commercial forest planted in this area, you may even see wind turbines very close to simonside as well. there's lots of different aspects that i don't think people appreciate that a commercial investor will want to see a return on. butjust a few miles across the scottish border

from rothbury, this is the tarras valley. 10,500 acres of rolling hills and open countryside. it's a similar size to the rothbury estate, and a few years ago it was for sale for a few million pounds. local people were worried. so what do they do? they bought it! the £6 million price tag was raised partly through donations at the height of the pandemic, some as small as £5. we did not anticipate the support that would come from all over the world. people that might never come and see this amazing place supported us financially. we were all kind of worried that were we going to do this? is this going to be impossible? but it wasn't, and we did it. the place is now a nature reserve run by the community, but they also tapped into £2 million from the scottish community land fund run by the scottish government. that is the fund that's made

available via the land reform legislation for communities to do exactly what we've just done. could you have done it without the sort of balancing support from those public bodies? i think it would have made things a lot harder. similar landscapes then, but a stark difference in funding between north and south of the border. what has frustrated us the most is there is the legislation and the support from local government, regional government and the scottish government to allow communities to take on the role and manage the land on behalf of local communities. we don't have that in england and it's one of the things that i think we should be veryjealous of scotland for having that we don't. a spokesperson for land agents knight frank, which is marketing the rothbury estate, said none of the public access will change as a result of the sale, and all of the existing land subject to the countryside and rights of way act,

will remain as it is today. just a reminder of our top story. israel says it has hit 320 targets in gaza over the past 2a hours and just a point you to the bbc live page where we had the latest analysis and reports from across the region. hello again. as we go through this week the weather really is going to feel more autumnal. we will see some further rain and currently there are still a lot of flood warnings in force, particularly across central parts of england. you can find out more about those and where they are on our website or, of course, the environment agency website. now we are under this ridge of high pressure so things are fairly settled today. but we do have a weather front coming in from the west and that's been producing some rain as we've gone through the course of today and it will continue to push slowly

into northern ireland and also deeper into south—west england. at the same time, the cloud will build across the south—east and we'll see some rain arrive, it will be breezy here. but for most of the uk it's going to be dry, there'll be some sunshine which will be hazy at times with highs up to 16 or 17 degrees. if we pick up this rain tonight it moves northwards in through parts of the midlands, east anglia, lincolnshire, yorkshire and northern england — where, of course, we don't want or need the rain. we've also got the second band of rain following in behind and some showers across scotland and northern ireland. with all this going on it's not going to be as cold a night in the north as last night. so tomorrow you can see the low pressure area associated with the rain coming into the east and we also have a weak weather front across southern areas, which will eventually fizzle and for the south it's going to be a mixture of bright spells, sunshine and showers. the rain pulling towards the east and the south—east through the day, but for scotland, the far north of england and northern ireland largely dry with one or two showers and temperatures 11 to 17 degrees.

as we head on through the rest of the week, our low pressure pulls away. we have an east or south easterly wind blowing in some showers and then an active set of fronts coming in from the atlantic. so still some rain for a time across parts of scotland and northern england. quite a bit of cloud around, a noticeable breeze and then some heavy and persistent rain comes in from the west. now there could well be some rumbles of thunder in that and as we head through the evening and overnight it's going to be spreading steadily northwards and eastwards, again, across areas where we don't want or need this rain. and you can see from this table here, as we go through the rest of the week it will feel autumnal, temperatures around average orjust above and at times we will see further rain.

live from jerusalem. this is bbc news. western leaders stress the need to protect civilians. more aid enters gaza, but charities say much more is desperately needed. the most important thing is to call for humanitarian support to go into gaza. israel warns its "military campaign" against hamas could last months. over the past day it's intensified air strikes on gaza. and following the heavy rain from storm babet, the environment agency warns that flooding could continue for days.

israel has kept up its bombardment of the gaza strip, including the south of the territory, where it had told palestinians to go for their own safety. it comes as israel and the united states said aid would continue to be allowed into the territory. western leaders have stressed the need to protect civilians. these are the main developments in the conflict so far today. israel says it has attacked 320 more targets in air strikes in the last day. this massive blast in gaza was filmed earlier today from southern israel. palestinian authorities say homes were hit without warning.

these pictures are from rafah, where locals pulled victims
