there were more rockets fired overnight and early this morning into southern israel by alicejenny and armed factions in gaza. what you help make things clearer now is that we are hearing more and more that after that day and a half of the total blackout on communications in gaza, that the internet and telephone services are coming back. and that had led really to wanting some international human rights groups about what affects good he on the ground, aid agencies couldn't reach their staff, ambulance workers couldn't respond to emergencies and ordinary people who haven't been able to get in contact with their loved ones and check that they were still alive. the israeli leader, benjamin netanyahu, gave a televised address yesterday. we heard a little bit of it in your report a few moments ago. what was his message for israel and the world? he was saying very much that this is going to be a long and difficult war, it is now in a new phase, the

second phase, and expecting that there will be more ground operations as well as operations by land and sea. he casted very much of a war for israel's survival, for his existence and that israel would be victorious in the end.— existence and that israel would be victorious in the end. thank you. we will be speaking _ victorious in the end. thank you. we will be speaking to _ victorious in the end. thank you. we will be speaking to you _ victorious in the end. thank you. we will be speaking to you a _ victorious in the end. thank you. we will be speaking to you a little - victorious in the end. thank you. we will be speaking to you a little bit. will be speaking to you a little bit later this morning. protests in support of palestine, calling for an end to israeli air strikes, have taken place in towns and cities across the world. tens of thousands of people gathered in london, while rallies also took place in manchester, cardiff, glasgow and belfast, as laura trant reports. more than 1000 metropolitan police officers were deployed across the capital to keep order as people protested against attacks on gaza. three weeks after hamas launched a surprise attack on israel, killing more than 11100 people and taking 229

this weekend, demonstrations have been taking place around the world, calling for the fighting to stop and life—saving supplies of aid to reach those who so desperately needed. —— need it. laura trant, bbc news. as we heard from our correspondent a little while ago, reports from gaza suggest an internet and phone blackout is beginning to lift. however, many people remain desperate for news of their loved ones. scotland's first minister, humza yousaf, has said he doesn't know if his parents—in—law — who are trapped in gaza — are alive, describing his wife as "numb" with concern for their safety. you can imagine how desperately worried we are and, to be frank, we do not know whether they are alive or dead. and that is a reality, not just facing us, clearly the reality for many people right across the world who haven't heard from their loved ones, who are trapped in gaza

and have been facing intense bombardment over the last few weeks. that is scotland's first minister there. we will have more on the situation with israel in gaza a little later in the programme. here's louise with a look at the weather. a very dramatic background behind you. you remind me of the little mermaid. i you. you remind me of the little mermaid. , ., , ., ., mermaid. i wish it was going to be as re mermaid. i wish it was going to be as pretty and _ mermaid. i wish it was going to be as pretty and pleasant _ mermaid. i wish it was going to be as pretty and pleasant as - mermaid. i wish it was going to be as pretty and pleasant as the - mermaid. i wish it was going to be | as pretty and pleasant as the little mermaid story, because it is a very stormy sea, as you can see, and that is a feature of the strong winds and heavy rain that we have at the moment. blustery winds through the day today and some pretty heavy rain at times. i don't know about you, but it woke me up through the middle of the night, the rain was so heavy. low pressure still dominating the story and this weather front here continues to sweep steadily north and bring heavy rain. this has been the story through the night, and look at down towards the channel

coast, you can see a few lightning flashes and the old rumble of thunder mixed in there as well. 0ver thunder mixed in there as well. over the next few hours the heaviest rain will be featured across the far northeast of england in particular, some heavy bursts as it drifts to southern scotland, gust of wind in excess of 50 miles an hour plus in the paper, and some persistent rain once again into east scotland. the rest of us it is a case of sunny spells and scattered showers through the afternoon but most of the showers along west and southern coasts, sandwiched in between those two we might see a window of finer weather, slightly quieter weather as well. still blustery but hopefully some sunny spells coming through. we will see those wins playing apart through the day—to—day. in terms of the feel of things it will be a cooler story of the far north of scotland. eight to 11 degrees here, further south is fifth day of 1a degrees is the daytime maximum. through the night tonight but whether front actually drifts steadily southwards bringing more

heavy rain to southern scotland and northeast england for a time before weakening, but an improving picture across east scotland. weekly keep some clear skies are some cameras on the whole will hold up through the night generally between seven and 11 degrees. into tomorrow morning, another case of sunny spells and scattered showers, but hopefully monday and tuesday will have fewer showers around and the emphasis with more sunshine. more coastal showers through the irish sea affecting wales, northern ireland and still some isolated showers putting in across eastern scotland. temperature speaking at 16 celsius is the higher. but as we move out of monday into tuesday and then towards wednesday, you can see that whether front waiting in the wings. tuesday will be a quiet start with a few scattered showers around, clouding over from the west slowly but surely, the rain not arriving until after dark for many. acquire on tuesday, another day for getting out and about and enjoying some slightly drier weather, tend to fit been celsius the higher. you really need

to make the most of it because wednesday to thursday we are looking at some pretty significant areas of low pressure which is going to bring some heavy rain. so no signs of anything drying up for the start of november. back to you two. looking autumnal for— november. back to you two. looking autumnal for the _ november. back to you two. looking autumnal for the coming _ november. back to you two. looking autumnal for the coming days. - november. back to you two. looking| autumnal for the coming days. thank autumnalfor the coming days. thank you so much. we will see you later. tributes are being paid to the friends actor matthew perry, who has died aged 5a. the star — who played chandler bing in the globally successful sitcom, which was one of the biggest shows of the �*90s and �*00s — was found dead in his los angeles home with us media reports saying he was found in the hot tub. 0ur reporter louisa pilbeam reports. as chandler in the 90s sitcom can make friends, matthew perry was catapulted to worldwide fame along with his co—stars. he became one of the most watched tv shows of all

matthew perry dead in a hot tub at his home in the pacific palisades area of los angeles. now, they are at pains to point out there are no signs of foul play, they haven't, however, reveal because of matthew perry's death. but, as you can imagine, an investigation is under way. imagine, an investigation is under wa . matthew perry struggled with addiction for many years, and he was very open about those difficulties, wasn't he? he was indeed. he fought a long battle with prescription drugs and with alcohol. he became addicted to vicodin, the painkiller, after an accident involving a jet ski. at one point he said in his book he was taking up to 55 vicodin tablets a day, with the corresponding impact on his health. he suffered a burst:

about four years ago which nearly killed him and was blamed on opioid abuse. the friends cast made them incredibly famous, it also made them incredibly famous, it also made them incredibly wealthy. from a starting salary of about $20,000 an episode, by the end they were each receiving about $1 million an episode. but fame was ultimately to prove matthew perry's undoing. he said he enjoyed being famous for about eight months and thereafter it became something of a curse. ., ~ ,. of a curse. ok, david, thank you very much- _ of a curse. ok, david, thank you very much. david _ of a curse. ok, david, thank you very much. david willis - of a curse. ok, david, thank you | very much. david willis therefore of a curse. ok, david, thank you i very much. david willis therefore us in washington. tributes are being paid on social media, many of them from actors who starred alongside matthew perry in friends. maggie wheeler, who played chandler's on—off girlfriend janice, wrote on instagram:

we can speak now to the entertainmentjournalist caroline feraday, who is in los angeles. for over a decade that friends was on tv and then obviously with all the repeats as well that went on after that, for many people matthew perry's face was a regular part of who they saw on screen. absolutely. if ou who they saw on screen. absolutely. if you think — who they saw on screen. absolutely. if you think back _ who they saw on screen. absolutely. if you think back to _ who they saw on screen. absolutely. if you think back to the _ who they saw on screen. absolutely. if you think back to the 1990s, i if you think back to the 1990s, friends was the sitcom of the 19905 and that friend5 was the sitcom of the 19905 and that final episode of friends had a viewing audience of over 5a million people in. just that episode —— in america. it is never of our tvs ever since. all of this does have become quite timeless, because we still think of them the age they were when they were in friends because it is on tv so often. yes. because it is on tv so often. yes, it was of course _ because it is on tv so often. yes, it was of course hugely _ because it is on tv so often. yes, it was of course hugely successful all around the world as a series. we

the millions he has spent i'm going to rehab and trying to get through that and i think what is clear from all of the tributes to him is not only the shock that he has died so young, but how much she was loved. caroline, you mentioned that the nice guy impression he hoped he would give, and it is fair to say that actually that came across through his character on screen, because there channel was a nice guy, admittedly with a bit of awkwardness and a bit of sarcasm, his character was very much part of the chemistry and report among the cast that was very much part of the success —— chandler. he cast that was very much part of the success -- chandler.— success -- chandler. he was the comic genius. — success -- chandler. he was the comic genius, really, _ success -- chandler. he was the comic genius, really, he - success -- chandler. he was the comic genius, really, he had i success -- chandler. he was the comic genius, really, he had thej comic genius, really, he had the comic genius, really, he had the comic artistry and that is something he took seriously. he said when he first got the prescription for friends, which was originally called friend5 like us he thought the writers had been following him around for eu because the character of chandler i5

around for eu because the character of chandler is so close to how he is in real life. so i think there was so much of matthew perry in chandler that it was hard to kind of divide the two. he wasn't really playing chandler, he was chandler bing. and he really made the role his own and you just cannot imagine anybody else ever having sort of inhabited it the way he did. find ever having sort of inhabited it the way he did-— way he did. and he did find a little bit more success _ way he did. and he did find a little bit more success as _ way he did. and he did find a little bit more success as well _ way he did. and he did find a little bit more success as well on - way he did. and he did find a little bit more success as well on the i way he did. and he did find a little | bit more success as well on the big screen as well, obviously a lot of the cast went on to do movies, went on to do films after the series ended. and it was the same with matthew perry. ended. and it was the same with matthew perry-— ended. and it was the same with matthew per . , ., ., , matthew perry. yes, he won an emmy for friends but — matthew perry. yes, he won an emmy for friends but he _ matthew perry. yes, he won an emmy for friends but he went _ matthew perry. yes, he won an emmy for friends but he went on _ matthew perry. yes, he won an emmy for friends but he went on to - matthew perry. yes, he won an emmy for friends but he went on to do i for friends but he went on to do some serious dramatic acting, he was in the west wing, that is where he picked up a lot of awards employers and he did do serious acting. it really was for his artistry, his role as chandler in friends that he is best known and best loved. thank ou. the

said, of the israel—gaza war as well. do stay with us on bbc breakfast. hello. this is breakfast with ben boulos and luxmy gopal. let's return to our top story: israel's prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, said his country has entered the "second stage" of what he says will be a "long and difficult" war with hamas. he said ground forces are now deployed "all over the gaza strip." he urged residents to flee south to avoid the fighting.

translation: the war inside the gaza strip will be difficult and long and we are prepared for it. this is the second phase of the war whose goals are clear. the destruction of the military and governmental capabilities of hamas and the return of the hostages home. at every stage until now and at every stage from now on, we will exhaust every possibility to return our abducted brothers and sisters to their families. after the war, all of us, we will all have to answer difficult questions. that includes me. a communication blackout over the weekend meant gaza was mostly cut off from the outside world, making it difficult to get a picture of what was happening on the ground. phone and internet connections are now being restored, but the hamas—run health ministry in gaza says the death toll has now risen to more than 8,000. israel's defense force has said more aid will be allowed into gaza today, but the un has warned of a humanitarian crisis.

iam raising i am raising alarm about the possibly catastrophic consequences of large—scale ground operations in gaza and the potential for thousands more civilians to die. continued violence is not the answer. hamas, which is regarded as a terrorist organisation by many governments, including the uk, has offered to release all hostages being held in gaza in return for the release of its prisoners in israeli jails. yesterday, the israeli prime minister met the families of hostages. many of them are campaigning for a pause in hostilities. no—one is talking to us. we want answers. we want to ask questions of the government. we are afraid for our hostages, ourfamily, we want the government. we are afraid for our hostages, our family, we want to bring them home alive. here we see a live shot of the gaza skyline from gaza city. and a leaflet drop was carried out

by israeli planes over gaza city, warning the residence the area is now a battlefield and urging them to leave, telling them to leave to the south of the gaza strip. as we heard from our correspondence earlier, the phone lines and internet connections had been cut off, but they are slowly returning in gaza, and what you are seeing now is the view over the israeli gaza border. i don't know if you saw, there seemed to be a flash, family and ex— lotion, so this is the view from southern israel. you can see what looks like plumes of smoke there are, black 's plumes of smoke there are, black 's plumes spiralling upwards and... explosions. i don't know if you can hear that. there was an update an hour or so ago byjeremy bowen, he

is in southern israel, about ten kilometres from the nearest part of gaza. he said that he can hear a continuous drumbeat of heavy shelling coming from as —— israeli artillery firing on gaza. he says it has not stopped since he woke up. he said, i six deep rumbles within the space of a minute. so that really reflective of what we are seeing there in that live shot of southern israel. , ., , .,, ., israel. yes, we heard the explosion a while ago. _ israel. yes, we heard the explosion a while ago. and — israel. yes, we heard the explosion a while ago, and this _ israel. yes, we heard the explosion a while ago, and this is _ israel. yes, we heard the explosion a while ago, and this is a _ israel. yes, we heard the explosion a while ago, and this is a live - israel. yes, we heard the explosion a while ago, and this is a live shot i a while ago, and this is a live shot from khan younis in the south of gaza. it is where residents of the gaza. it is where residents of the gaza strip were told to flee by the israeli authorities. they were told to leave the north and head down to the south, and khan younis is where a lot of the residents did flee to, and you can see it is a couple of

hours ahead of us there, so it will be at some point after 8:30am and it is looking quite busy there in khan younis outside the hospital, and we will of course bring you more updates on that including we will be returning to our correspondence your land now and we will be speaking to our correspondence and foster there to bring us the latest there, what gazans are waking up to this morning, and just to reiterate, the phone lines and internet connection that had been lost overnight are slowly returning to gaza, and we will of course bring you some more reaction and analysis after the announcement speech that is really prime minister benjamin netanyahu made as well. plenty more on the programme. you can get more news and analysis on the ongoing situation with a new bbc podcast. the conflict: israel—gaza is presented by our chief

international correspondent lyse doucet, and is available now on the bbc sounds app or wherever you get your podcasts. now it is time for a look at our sports news. good morning. a record—breaking side of the rugby world cup. they have done it again! yes, they have done it again. back—to—back world champions. the fans might want to forget. this is much tighter against the all blacks last night. it was entertaining, it was controversial, there was just one point in it. south africa have eaten france by a point in the quarter—finals within boyd —— meeting and by a point and then beat new zealand one point to make it for world cup titles, as ben said. the first side to win for rugby world cup titles. it was impressive in the end in paris, but it could have gone either way as our sport

could they pull off a remarkable comeback? with just a few minutes left, a chance to take the lead, but jordie barrett missed and amid unbearable tension, south africa clung on. the first team to win the world cup four times, and while their delight was mirrored by new zealand's despair, they prove once again they are the best in the business. andy swiss, bbc news. it was on our terms. it was to just go all out, give it your all and don't hold back anything, and i think that is what everyone did today. think that is what everyone did toda . .,. think that is what everyone did toda. ., _ think that is what everyone did toda. ., ,, today. each campaign obviously has its uniuue today. each campaign obviously has its unique identity. _ today. each campaign obviously has its unique identity. the _ today. each campaign obviously has its unique identity. the one - today. each campaign obviously has its unique identity. the one point i its unique identity. the one point games— its unique identity. the one point games and — its unique identity. the one point games and all the play—offs was tough, — games and all the play—offs was tough, but i think that makes it 'ust tough, but i think that makes it just that — tough, but i think that makes it just that much more special. for this group— just that much more special. for this group of people. 12 just that much more special. for this group of people.— just that much more special. for this group of people. 12 weeks ago i was preparing _ this group of people. 12 weeks ago i was preparing for — this group of people. 12 weeks ago i was preparing for a _ this group of people. 12 weeks ago i was preparing for a game, - this group of people. 12 weeks ago i was preparing for a game, it - this group of people. 12 weeks ago i was preparing for a game, it is - was preparing for a game, it is great —

"too much time filming netflix specials,

"not enough time in the gym." youtuber ksi: "congrats ngannou, you're the people's champ." and nba star lebronjames: "exactly why i don't watch boxing! c'mon man!" in spain, jude bellingham's had his greatest night in a real madrid shirt as he inspired them to come from behind to beat barcelona in el clasico. trailing to a first—half ilkay gundogan goal, bellingham smashed madrid level in the 68th minute, his fifth goal scored from outside the box since joining in the summer injust 13 appearances. he then popped up with the winner in the second minute of injury time. he now has 13 goals for the club in all competitions. another english player thriving abroad is harry kane. he scored a hat—trick as bayern munich won 8—0 against darmstadt in the german bundesliga. and take a look at his second goalfrom kane, lobbing the keeper from inside his own half.

i turned on the ball and i saw the keeper out of the corner of my eye. i think we were up at the time, so i thought why not have a shot and as it was in the area, i was playing it to dip below the bar and thankfully it did. how chelsea could do with some goals — they've lost their fourth premier league match of the season after going down 2—0 at home to brentford. ethan pinnock had given the visitors a 1—0 lead just before the hour mark, and then brian mbeumo ensured brentford left stamford bridge with all three points in stoppage time. they're up to tenth, a place above chelsea in the table. we need to be also more nasty and more clinical, you know, and be strong. that is disappointed because i think we dominated, we create chances, but if we don't score, the confidence is going down and that was happening. eddie nketiah scored his first

premier league hat—trick as arsenal extended their unbeaten start to the season with a 5—0 win over sheffield united. arsenal are second in the table, two points behind their north london rivals tottenham. yeah, it was an amazing goal. good pass, i love playing with him. it was a really great shot from outside the box. love to get goals and some of friends and family. it has not been easy. last month i lost my auntie so i wanted to dedicate these three goals to her. my family were here watching today, so i want to dedicate this special moment to her. wolves twice fought back from a goal down to earn a point at home to newcastle. south korean international hwang hee—chan with the second as wolves extended their unbeaten run to five matches. newcastle stay sixth. have a look at this goal. billing with that strike. they claim theirfirst premier league win of the season, beating fellow strugglers burnley 2—1

at the vitality stadium. the win relieves some of the pressure on manager andoni iraola whose side climbed above their opponents and out of the relegation zone. it's the manchester derby this afternoon with both sides heading into the match on the back of champions league wins in midweek. this is the fourth time united boss erik ten hag has faced his city rivals and with a six—point gap to them in the table, he's in no doubt to the magnitude of the occasion. it is about many other derbies. it is manchester internal but i think it is also about world football and all the eyes will be on this game, a global one. i was iwas in i was in munich and i travelled to england — i was in munich and i travelled to england to — i was in munich and i travelled to england to play against them, it was a spedal— england to play against them, it was a special scenario, a special place in the _ a special scenario, a special place in the course he is special for our fans— in the course he is special for our fans for— in the course he is special for our fans for all— in the course he is special for our fans for all of us, but in the end, it isa—

in kolkata by 87 runs, their second victory of the tournament. that result actually puts england bottom of the group stage table ahead of their game against india later. ferrari's charles leclerc will start tonight's mexico grand prix from pole position. he clocked the quickest time on his first attempt in the final session of qualifying at the autodromo, hermanos rodriguez to claim his fourth pole of the season. his ferrari team—mate carlos sainz was less than a tenth of a second behind him. world champion max verstappen lines up third with lewis hamilton the top british driver in sixth. in rugby league, matty ashton was the hero for england, scoring his first ever international tries as they secured a series win with a 14—4 victory over tonga in the second test. asthon tries both came in the first half in what was just his second ever start for his country. tonga did get a try back after the break but england held

in a house made of sushi. how about you ? all of these images, of course, were created using something called generative artificial intelligence. now, we've become used to artificially generated images, pictures of things that have never actually existed. and then came text. at the back end of 2022, ai chatbot chatgpt emerged and within a few months people were in a frenzy. werejobs, education, love letters ever going to be the same again? what we were seeing was the emergence of something called generative ai, and although this was only a tiny part of artificial intelligence as a whole, it got us all talking about the possibilities and the risks. and for years we've been talking about how a! can enhance our lives, from the moment we wake up in the morning and our smartphone recognises our faces to the evening when we're watching our favourite streaming service and it's recommending what to watch. but suddenly people were interested and fear seemed to transcend excitement.

and next week, world leaders are going to be meeting at bletchley park, the world—famous computing site, for the ai summit, to discuss all of the issues that a! has kicked up. so we thought we'd give you a reminder of some of those issues, plus some of the benefits of letting computers learn from billions, trillions of pieces of data. we start with ben derico in chicago, and then marc cieslak“s in scotland. ben: ai art has taken a massive leap recently. i mean, this one sold for over $400,000 at an auction at christie's in 2018. with image generators like dall—e and stable diffusion, almost anyone can create new art in a matter of seconds. but the models that make this art don'tjust do it out of thin air. they've learned to mimic styles, even specific artists, through a process called training, where the models ingest millions, sometimes billions of images scraped from websites all around the web.

combined with text describing the images, they now have a data set that lets them create almost any type of image from a simple text prompt. it produces some interesting stuff, but the problem is, many artists never gave their consent for their art to be used in an image generator like this. so what should artists do? so we've seen art theft before, but we've never seen it at this level. this is karla ortiz. she's a concept artist in san francisco. a concept artist is a person who provides the first initial visuals to what something could be in a movie. she's designed art for magic: the gathering, and even in marvel“s doctor strange movies. last year, she discovered her art had been scraped into an ai image data set. especially my fine art work. and that, to me, felt really invasive because i had never given anyone my permission to do that.

karla made the decision to take her work off the internet wherever she could. she figured it was the only way to avoid a computer scraping her work into an image dataset without her consent. but what if she could still show her work online and keep it from being used to help generate new a! art? honestly, we just never had any idea that it was such an impactful problem. this is professor ben zhao from the university of chicago. he and his lab say they've developed a solution. they call it glaze. at its core, glaze uses the fact that there is this ginormous gap, difference between the way that humans see visual images and how machine learning models see visual images. because we see things differently, glaze can make changes that are almost imperceptible to the human eye, but that dramatically alter how a machine sees it. so if you're an artist, you glaze your art, you post it online, you can rest comfortably knowing that a model that's trying to steal your style from that piece

will learn a very different style that's incorrect. and when it's trying to mimic you, it willjust fail, hopefully spectacularly. as you can see, the ai artwork generated from a piece with glaze is similar in content but not really in style. to learn more, we asked the team to show us glaze in action. start here. you can see some changes already, i kind of on the texture on the... i the right side one is the original and this is the glazed one. - |you can see the face has, you know, | some added changes on the painting. right, so the brushstrokes are a little blotchy, or it looks like there's these kind of... ..like, yellow patches of pixels in there. yeah, exactly. yeah. if you had laid these out in front of me and just said, "tell me what's different," i would...| would be hard pressed to tell you. all right! the promise of glaze is exciting for artists, but critics say the ai art generators are taking inspiration

the same way a human does, by studying other pieces and learning from them. crucially, they say, these aren't copies. that's led the companies being sued to ask for the case against them to be dismissed. karla says, though, that's not a good comparison. i don't see one image, let alone billions of imagery, and instantly like, you know, archive it in my mind. and then i'm able to generate exact copies or similar copies in the blink of an eye. some artists have said they'd be willing to use their work with al image generators, but they say the process should be opt in, not opt out. stability a! says their new generators will be opt out going forward, and adobe says its new image generator, firefly, has only been trained on images from its stock library. but even there, adobe contributors say this type of usage was never explicit in their agreement. in the meantime, the internet being the internet, people are already trying to break glaze and get around it. i'm under no impression that it's going to last forever and protect

against every form of sort of attack. but, you know, we're hopeful that it will buy artists some time. and in the meantime, really, i'm hopeful that glaze will not be the only tool of its kind. for carla, that's the point — to buy artists time for regulation and the public to catch up. whenever people, you know, jump in on these and say, "oh, this is... wow!“', they need to recognise that it is "wow" because of...you know, the work that is taken, and all of that work was taken without their consent to use to, you know, train these models so that they can generate that stuff that makes people go, "wow!" ai art is likely here to stay, so pressure from regulators, input from artists and an informed public will be crucial to make sure these revolutionary tools are built alongside the people who helped make them possible.

so just have a seat i on the chairthere... marc: june works as a health care assistant. she knows how important breast cancer screening is. i see you've had previous surgery before. yeah, that's correct. today, june is having a low level x—ray, or mammogram, performed. it's part of a local breast screening programme called gemini. so we're running this ai, as well, to see whether it's able to pick up cancers as well as the humans can. and you see these little white dots, they're the... yeah. yeah, and the a! has said, sort of slightly suspicious. a biopsy will be performed, basically removing a small sample of body tissue and sending it for further tests. you're doing really well. here at aberdeen royal infirmary, june's scan has been reviewed by ai software as well as human clinicians. dr gerald lip demonstrates

the process using anonymised scans. so what we're seeing now is a lady who's got mammograms on the left side and the right side. you're looking for differences. there is a lesion in the left breast here. and of course, this is something you would expect a human being, you could just tell there's something different in the pictures there. yeah. and if you click on this cad button, which is the a! button, there, it circle some areas for us to check. but the main area of its most concern is this area that's circled there, where the cancer is on that left side. in screening, you want to pick up things that are small before they become big. programmes like this one identify breast cancer in roughly 6 in 1,000 women. radiologists known as readers examine patient scans for signs of cancer. on average, these human readers scrutinise 5,000 mammograms a year. 250 to 300 patients will be called back, and 30 to 40 of those will require closer attention. and there is a chance

that with that number, you could miss cancers. within the rules that the national screening council have given us, we're not allowed to use the ai automatically in part of the process as yet. so we are using the a! as a extra check at the end of our reading process. in 2016, a private company, kheiron medical technologies, began training an a! model called mia, using hundreds of thousands of medical scans. its job — to identify breast cancer. it's been a few weeks sincejune“s biopsy. i caught up with her via video call. i wondered how she felt about an ai assisting in such sensitive work. you're, you know, your images are on screen and people are looking at them. em, whereas when it's an artificial intelligence, you...you know, that sort of bit of feeling that somebody is looking in on has gone. the biopsy showed that i do

have an early stage cancer. they've certainly caught it at an earlier stage this time, but because i have had previous history with it, i'm going to go in and have a mastectomy. it's not treatment i want to have. but at the same time, it's reassuring that it's been caught. since shooting this film, june has had a mastectomy. she's now doing well. the full results of aberdeen“s ai evaluation will be available in march 2024. screening programmes are crucial for improving patient outcomes. for now, medical staff are still the first line of defence in protecting against breast cancer, but a! is likely to play a significant role in future life—saving efforts. and that set for the shorter version of our ai catch up. the full—length version can be found on iplayer. thanks for watching. we will see you

good morning. welcome to breakfast with ben boulos and luxmy ghopal. our headlines today: a warning from israel that it's preparing for a long and difficult war as its troops carry out ground operations in gaza. translation: the war inside the gaza strip i will be difficult and long. and we are prepared for it. this is our second war of independence. residents are told to flee south as the israeli army declares parts of gaza a battlefield. the friends star matthew perry who played chandler has died at the age of 54. he was found dead at his home in los angeles.

which is designated as a terrorist organisation by the uk government, following the attacks of october 7 that killed 1,400 people and saw more than 200 taken hostage. the hamas—run health ministry in gaza says the number of people killed by israeli bombing has now passed 8,000. our middle east correspondent yolande knell has the latest. with the war raging on, the death toll is rising. health officials in gaza now say more than 8,000 people have been killed. but palestinian rocket fire hasn't stopped. and as it strikes by air, israel says it is also widening its ground offensive. translation: the war inside the gaza strip i will be difficult and long, and we are prepared for it. this is the second phase of the war whose goals are clear — the destruction of the military and governmental capabilities of hamas and the return of the hostages home. although a telecommunications

blackout now appears to be easing, it has been hard to get news from inside gaza. but there have been more international calls to stop the fighting and protect the civilians who are suffering. i am raising alarm about the possibly catastrophic consequences of large—scale ground operations in gaza and the potential for thousands more civilians to die. continued violence is not the answer. away from gaza, young palestinians in ramallah in the west bank were holding a vigil, while nearby, officials that the president, a political rival of hamas. translation: i call on the brothers, the leaders of the arab states - to hold an emergency summit to stop this brutal aggression against our palestinian people and our cause, to face the regional and global challenges and to do everything possible to enable our people to stay in their land. these pictures were released by the israeli military as it sends

more troops and tanks into gaza. but its invasion has been more limited than some had expected. israel is pledging to eradicate hamas after its attacks this month led to the country's deadliest ever day, killing more than 1,400 people. with hugs and reassurances, the prime minister is trying to allay the fears of israelis whose relatives are being held hostage in gaza. there is more talk of a possible swap for palestinians jailed in israel. take them, we don't need them here, yeah. i want my family and all the hostages back home. already, this three—week—old war has been the most intense and deadliest in the decades—old israel—palestinian conflict. both sides are bracing themselves for more tough days that are yet to come. yolande knell joins us now from jerusalem. good morning. we heard a little bit from the israeli leader benjamin netanyahu in your report, on his

televised address yesterday. based on what he said, what can we gather about what to expect in the coming days? about what to expect in the coming da s? ~ . ., about what to expect in the coming da s? days? well, he said the coming days would be long _ days? well, he said the coming days would be long and _ days? well, he said the coming days would be long and difficult. - days? well, he said the coming days would be long and difficult. he - days? well, he said the coming days would be long and difficult. he is - would be long and difficult. he is really preparing israelis for a tough time ahead. this was a kind of national address that he was giving and he talked also about how this was, in this eyes, a warfor the country's very survival, and he said that it would ultimately be victorious. he said there were two names here for the one of them was to defeat hamas and the second aim was to bring the hostages home safely. was to bring the hostages home safel . , ., was to bring the hostages home safel. , ., , safely. yes, of course. three weeks now that families _ safely. yes, of course. three weeks now that families of _ safely. yes, of course. three weeks now that families of hostages - safely. yes, of course. three weeks now that families of hostages have | now that families of hostages have been waiting and wondering, and mr netanyahu met with some of those families of the hostages. was there any indication that he might be willing to make a deal with hamas to get the captives released? he willing to make a deal with hamas to get the captives released?— get the captives released? he was asked about _ get the captives released? he was asked about that _ get the captives released? he was asked about that by _ get the captives released? he was asked about that by journalists - get the captives released? he was| asked about that by journalists and asked about that byjournalists and he said it wouldn't be wise to

discuss it openly at this stage, but he confirmed there were talks were taking place around this issue of a possible swap for the 220 plus hostages inside gaza, both israelis and foreigners of course, the palestinian prisoners held in israeli jails, and we also heard from the hamas leader in gaza, who made his first public comments since the start of this war three weeks ago, saying thatjust such a deal was possible. ago, saying that 'ust such a deal was possible.— our correspondent anna foster in southern israel, near the border with gaza. anna, what's the situation there this morning? we are seeing and hearing these continuing sounds of explosions of artillery fire and mortar fire that has been going on through the night and much of yesterday as well, since the israel defence forces really

expanded and intensified their operations inside gaza. you can see on the ridge line behind me, it is a foggy morning here, but you can see we are so close to gaza that you can normally see the buildings on the ridge behind me, and we see here regular plumes of smoke heading up into the sky. the israeli military have made it very clear now that their operations have moved into a new phase, that they have troops, they have infantry troops, they have mobile artillery, which is inside gaza now and they seem to be moving from north to south. again, yesterday evening, they urged people living in the north of gaza to move south, but of course there is only a certain amount of land that gazans can go to. they can't actually leave the territory altogether, but certainly what we are seeing and hearing, i can heara certainly what we are seeing and hearing, i can hear a dry above us, the israeli bombardment on gaza are continuing and over the last few years have been intensifying ——

drone. years have been intensifying -- drone. ~ ., years have been intensifying -- drone. ~ . , years have been intensifying -- drone. . . , ., ., drone. we have been hearing about the humanitarian _ drone. we have been hearing about the humanitarian situation - drone. we have been hearing about the humanitarian situation inside i the humanitarian situation inside gaza. there were communications blackouts over the last 24 hours, internet and phone connectivity had gone. we understand that has now been restored. do we understand anymore? do we have any more detail about the humanitarian situation their quest mark the suggestion is that as you say, the main mobile phone networks in gaza, which it should be said are not, they don't work fantastically well at the best of times. �* ., , ., ., , of times. but do seem to have been restored this _ of times. but do seem to have been restored this morning _ of times. but do seem to have been restored this morning and _ of times. but do seem to have been restored this morning and it - of times. but do seem to have been restored this morning and it really l restored this morning and it really directly impacts on the humanitarian situation. we talked yesterday to ngos, humanitarian organisations who are actually in there trying to help people, and when the lost contact with their staff, they weren't able to speak to each other to assess the levels, and equally, people who were injured were unable to call ambulances, for example. we know the restoration of communications will be important in the respect. the israelis have said that in terms of humanitarian aid actually going into

gaza through that southern entrants from egypt through the wrapper crossing, they said there is more of that starting to come in —— rafah crossing. we are starting to see limited food coming in, fewer than there would be on any other day. there is a continuing issue a fuel where civilians and humanitarian groups are saying they are running out of fuel. the israelis are saying fuel should not be coming in that way. they believe hamas has fuel and are stockpiling and it is their responsibility to release it to the people who need it. israel side if they allow fuel through, that will be taken by hamas and used in its continuing attacks on people here in israel. in continuing attacks on people here in israel. . , ., israel. in recent days and indeed in recent weeks. _ israel. in recent days and indeed in recent weeks, everyone _ israel. in recent days and indeed in recent weeks, everyone has - israel. in recent days and indeed in recent weeks, everyone has been l recent weeks, everyone has been thought of anticipating what israel had said was going to be an offensive into gaza. it feels like, from what you have described, that they are going in in stages. do we have any insight into their strategy, their military thinking in

terms of that approach rather than going all in all of the same time? i think probably the key thing here is diplomacy, as strange as it sounds, because that ground offensive, background operation they have been talking about, one of the really big concerns was how that would be received elsewhere in the region, because i forget hamas is backed by iran and there are strong running and proxies in other parts of the middle east as well, particularly in the northern lebanon where you have hezbollah who are like hamas, like hamas a terra organisation in many parts of the world, and the concern is the full invasion would be a problem. they could launch certificate attacks on other fronts here in israel for the one thing that has happened has been a lot of people radical behind the scenes, particularly with us and perhaps a suggestion is of course it is impossible to know for sure what is

happening in those behind closed doors talks, but i think israel probably been told that what it is doing is important, many countries, many governments including the uk government has backed israel's right to defend itself and to destroy hamas, but i think the concerns about what that could lead to have fed into the israeli military strategy and may be fed into the israeli military strategy and may he meant they are doing this gradually in stages rather than a full scale trigger round operation, and what that could cause as a result. qm. round operation, and what that could cause as a result.— cause as a result. 0k, thank you very much _ cause as a result. 0k, thank you very much for— cause as a result. 0k, thank you very much for the _ cause as a result. 0k, thank you very much for the update. - cause as a result. 0k, thank you very much for the update. we i cause as a result. 0k, thank you | very much for the update. we will cause as a result. 0k, thank you - very much for the update. we will be returning to anna within the next hour for an update from there. protests in support of palestinians, calling for an end to israeli air strikes, have taken place in towns and cities across the world. more than 100,000 people gathered in london, while rallies also took place in manchester, cardiff, glasgow and belfast. these protests took place as israel intensified its strikes on gaza. in westminster, there are growing calls for a humanitarian pause

in the israeli bombardment of gaza from all parties. our political correspondent peter saull is in the london newsroom. peter, where is the pressure coming from, and will it make any difference? all of the main part is pretty much agree there should be this humanitarian pause to the hostilities, they don't agree on that it should be a ceasefire. the snp says it should be one but both labour and the conservatives say thatis labour and the conservatives say that is definitely not what should be happening quite yet. there are differences of opinion between both of those two main parties, particularly within labour ranks, there have been somejunior ministers who have called for a ceasefire in recent days and also had dozens of mps signing alimentary motions and reiterating the un secretary general antonio guterres who has also called for a ceasefire, also had calls from the scottish labour leader, the mayor of london,

the mayor of greater manchester as well. there is some pressure on sir keir starmer particularly on that issue. the shadow international trade secretary has been setting out what his party's position is. we re eat what his party's position is. we repeat our— what his party's position is. we repeat our call for a humanitarian pause. _ repeat our call for a humanitarian pause, it— repeat our call for a humanitarian pause, it is— repeat our call for a humanitarian pause, it is absolutely vital that aid gets— pause, it is absolutely vital that aid gets into gaza, we want to see that food, — aid gets into gaza, we want to see that food, water, electricity and fuel get— that food, water, electricity and fuel get into gaza. it is important to remember that hamas are not the palestinian _ to remember that hamas are not the palestinian people and the palestinian people and the palestinian people and the palestinian people are suffering terribly — palestinian people are suffering terribly. so that humanitarian pause is really _ terribly. so that humanitarian pause is really urgent. sir terribly. so that humanitarian pause is really urgent-— is really urgent. sir keir starmer -- sir keir _ is really urgent. sir keir starmer -- sir keir starmer _ is really urgent. sir keir starmer -- sir keir starmer adamant - is really urgent. sir keir starmer. -- sir keir starmer adamant really —— sir keir starmer adamant really that israel must have the right to defend itself against hamas attacks, the position aligning with the uk government as i have said, analytes of the united states and the european union, and sir keir starmer wants to be seen as a prime minister in waiting, so these differences of

opinion within his own party a little bit uncomfortable for him and no doubt there will be more as his conflict continues —— this conflict continues to unfold. conflict continues -- this conflict continues to unfold.— continues to unfold. that is our correspondent _ continues to unfold. that is our correspondent in _ continues to unfold. that is our correspondent in london - continues to unfold. that is our- correspondent in london newsroom. before eight o'clock, we will hear from the defence analyst to give us more insight into the conflict. here's louise with a look at the weather. it is that time of year when it is sunshine and showers. they went for a walk in the park yesterday, bright sunshine, within an hour we changed and i was drenched. you sunshine, within an hour we changed and i was drenched.— and i was drenched. you should have watched the — and i was drenched. you should have watched the forecast _ and i was drenched. you should have watched the forecast then, _ and i was drenched. you should have watched the forecast then, shouldn'tj watched the forecast then, shouldn't you! watched the forecast then, shouldn't ou! ., i did watched the forecast then, shouldn't you!_ i did tell- watched the forecast then, shouldn't you!_ i did tell you. - you! you tell him! i did tell you. want to come _ you! you tell him! i did tell you. want to come as _ you! you tell him! i did tell you. want to come as well _ you! you tell him! i did tell you. want to come as well as - you! you tell him! i did tell you. want to come as well as we - you! you tell him! i did tell you. want to come as well as we go i want to come as well as we go through the weekend or the remainder of the week and, we see some very heavy rain overnight and the winds are going to be quite a feature today as the rain continued to drift its way steadily northwards. let's take a look atjust its way steadily northwards. let's take a look at just what's its way steadily northwards. let's take a look atjust what's causing it, no once again that low pressure, starting to weaken a little. here winds will ease tomorrow and there

will be fewer showers around. for the moment, heavy overnight rain does pushing its way steadily north and east and will grind to a halt across northeast england, southern scotland, and a feed still ran into eastern scotland. sunny spells and scattered showers behind. some could be quite heavy and gundary. the most persistent widespread rain today across eastern england and southern scotland here it is going to link all day. gale force gusts of winds at times, rough seas as well, slightly cooler conditions into the northern isles. a lot going on for scotland and northern england, scattered showers and northern ireland, showers most frequent along west facing coasts and channel coasts. a little bit of a window final weather across england in particular through the midlands and east anglia. wind is a feature today, widely gusts in excess of 30 mph at times, particularly on exposed coasts. top temperatures generally between ten and 15 degrees. as we go through the night tonight, that rain is going to think

its way steadily southwards. it will weaken eventually. it will take its time in doing so. that means a slightly dry spell the weather for eastern scotland in comparison with what we were thinking essay. still some showers continuing along southern was raising goes. an amount of cloud around in places, temperatures between seven and 11. as we go into tomorrow, as i say, slightly quite today, here winds will fall a little later, some showers but not as many as we've had in recent days. hopefully, a little more chance of seeing sunshine coming through or certainly a longer, lengthier dry spell. 10—16 the high on monday, tuesday similar story, sunny spells and scattered showers. they want to look at the middle part of the week. the beginning of november, looks likely to be pretty unsettled. one area of low pressure moves through on wednesday, this one on thursday, a cause for concern, could be quite a deep area of low pressure. you can

or severe gales that time. you will need to keep a close eye on the forecast for that, i suspect, because the position of that low is going to be quite important because it may well just feed in going to be quite important because it may welljust feed in a lot of heavy rain across eastern scotland. a little more detail, rain pushing in, bumping into gold and, yes to higher ground there could be some snow stop a trail of showers following on behind. by wednesday afternoon and looks likely we will see temperatures picking between nine and 40 degrees. back to you two. ., .. nine and 40 degrees. back to you two. ., ~' , ., nine and 40 degrees. back to you two. ., ,, , ., ., nine and 40 degrees. back to you two. ., ,, i. ., , nine and 40 degrees. back to you two. ., ,, ., , ., nine and 40 degrees. back to you two. ., ., ., two. thank you. that is a message to ben that two. thank you. that is a message to then that you — two. thank you. that is a message to ben that you ignore _ two. thank you. that is a message to ben that you ignore louise _ at your peril. exactly. listen to the wisdom. _ at your peril. exactly. listen to the wisdom. we _ at your peril. exactly. listen to the wisdom. we will _ at your peril. exactly. listen to the wisdom. we will see - at your peril. exactly. listen to the wisdom. we will see you i at your peril. exactly. listen to i the wisdom. we will see you later for more pearls of wisdom. the time is cominu for more pearls of wisdom. the time is coming up — for more pearls of wisdom. the time is coming up to _ for more pearls of wisdom. the time is coming up to 7:18am. _ for more pearls of wisdom. the time is coming up to 7:18am. you - for more pearls of wisdom. the time is coming up to 7:18am. you are - is coming up to 7:18am. you are watchin: is coming up to 7:18am. you are watching breakfast. _ tributes are being paid to the friends actor matthew perry who has died aged 54. the star, who played chandler bing in the globally successful sitcom, which was one of the biggest shows

of the “90s and “00s, was found dead in his los angeles home with us media reports saying he was found in the hot tub. our reporter louisa pilbeam reports. as chandler in the “90s sitcom friends, matthew perry was catapulted to worldwide fame, along with his co—stars. he became one of the most watched tv shows of all time, running for ten seasons, and chandler bing was known for his sarcastic humour. then why would he say it? because he is cra . then why would he say it? because he is crazy- he — then why would he say it? because he is crazy- he came _ then why would he say it? because he is crazy. he came up _ then why would he say it? because he is crazy. he came up to _ then why would he say it? because he is crazy. he came up to be _ then why would he say it? because he is crazy. he came up to be earlier - is crazy. he came up to be earlier than _ is crazy. he came up to be earlier than me — is crazy. he came up to be earlier than me for— is crazy. he came up to be earlier than me for my very moving performance in titanic. but in the early hours of today, us media reported that the actor was found dead in his hot tub. the los angeles police department confirmed to the bbc that a man in his 50s was unresponsive in a water emergency at the actor's home. warner brothers tv, which produced friends,

say they are devastated by the actor's passing, saying "he was a true gift to us all," and that "our heart goes out to his family, loved ones and all of his fans." ijust came to say hi. hi! his co—star maggie wheeler, who played his girlfriend janice, said he broughtjoy to so many in his too—short lifetime. despite his success, he was, by his own admission, a tormented man, writing in his autobiography about battling drink and drug addictions throughout his decades filming friends. when perry reunited with his co—stars for the reunion two years ago, he spoke about his troubles. i felt like i was going to die if they didn't laugh. and it's not healthy for sure. but i would sometimes say a line and they wouldn't laugh and i would let and just, like, go into convulsions if i didn't get the laugh i was supposed to get. i would freak out.

it would take you down. you didn't tell us that. i don't remember you ever saying that. yeah. i felt that every single night. we've got some time. 0k. shall we get some coffee? sure. where? he went on to star in a string of successful hollywood films, but it is friends that brought him international fame and chandler bing who made so many people laugh around the world. earlier, we spoke to our correspondent david willis in washington. we asked him what more he could tell us about the circumstances of matthew perry's death. well, matthew perry's death had been reported by a multitude of us media outlets before warner brothers, the company which of course made friends issued a statement saying that it was devastated to learn of matthew perry's passing and describing him as a true gift to us all. reports here suggest that police responded to a 911 call that they received at 4:07pm local time and they found matthew perry dead in a hot tub at his home in the pacific palisades

area of los angeles. now, they are at pains to point out there are no signs of foul play, they haven't, however, reveal because of matthew perry's death. but, as you can imagine, an investigation is under way. indeed. matthew perry struggled with addiction for many years, and he was very open about those difficulties, wasn't he? he was indeed. he fought a long battle with prescription drugs and with alcohol. he became addicted to vicodin, the painkiller, after an accident involving a jet ski. at one point he said in his book he was taking up to 55 vicodin tablets a day, with the corresponding impact on his health.

he suffered a burst colon about four years ago which nearly killed him and was blamed on opioid abuse. friends, of course, made the cast — made them incredibly famous, it also made them incredibly wealthy. from a starting salary of about $20,000 an episode, by the end they were each receiving about $1 million an episode. but fame was ultimately to prove matthew perry's undoing. he said he enjoyed being famous for about eight months and thereafter it became something of a curse. david willis are speaking to me a little earlier this morning. tributes are being paid on social media, many of them from actors who starred alongside matthew perry in friends. selma blair played wendy, one of chandler's co—workers with whom he nearly cheated on his wife monica. she wrote:

and morgan fairchild, who played chandler's mum, said: in terms of the character he played. matthew perry, the loss of such a brilliant young act as a shock. the canadian prime minister, justin trudeau, went to primary school with matthew perry. he described the actor's death as "shocking and saddening." sean mandell is an entertainment journalist in los angeles. hejoins us now. what kind of reaction has there been there? ,, ~' ~' what kind of reaction has there been there? ,, ,, ,, , what kind of reaction has there been

his mannerisms and things he says on the show. and if you look them up. “'could either be wearing any more close?" it is a line thatjoey actually said but is inspired by a mannerism that chandler would use. so his impact will be felt for many years to come and people are devastated and completely caught off guard. devastated and completely caught off uuard. ., ., , .. ,, ., guard. you mentioned the success of friends and the _ guard. you mentioned the success of friends and the huge _ guard. you mentioned the success of friends and the huge numbers - guard. you mentioned the success of friends and the huge numbers that i friends and the huge numbers that watched, it reaches a whole new generation of fans once it appeared on streaming service netflix. it is impossible to say how much did matthew perry contribute to the success of that? he matthew perry contribute to the success of that?— matthew perry contribute to the success of that? he played a really interral success of that? he played a really integral part. _ success of that? he played a really integral part, because _ success of that? he played a really integral part, because he - success of that? he played a really integral part, because he had, - success of that? he played a really integral part, because he had, his| integral part, because he had, his character and his performance had the perfect combination of words, but also true heart and it was

grounded, you know, there is a wonderful scene where monica, the character, proposes to him and it is a scene that is full of comedy that you could also see how genuinely felt it is. it was one of those first sitcoms that really blended the idea of this sort of topical comedy, comedy that is light—hearted, but actually was rooted in character and they found their characters through the years and matthew perry and the material he was given, and some of the material as well, the writers will admit, he wrote it, he contributed to it, they would come to him for punch ups, as they called it, changing some jokes punch ups, as they called it, changing somejokes or punch ups, as they called it, changing some jokes or trying to figure out how chandler would respond to something. i think that he wasjust us respond to something. i think that he was just us of course it was an ensemble show, but i think he was an integral part of that success that really was, the hub of the wheel of

those incredible characters and brought something that made him really unique and helps the show stand out among other sort of comedies and sitcoms that was starting in the early 1990s. sean, thank ou starting in the early 1990s. sean, thank you for— starting in the early 1990s. sean, thank you for your _ starting in the early 1990s. sean, thank you for your insights. - starting in the early 1990s. sean, thank you for your insights. sean | thank you for your insights. sean mandell then entertainment journalist joining mandell then entertainment journalistjoining us. it is just past 7:28am. sunday morning with laura kuennsberg is on bbc one at 9:00 this morning. victoria derbyshire is presenting and can tell us what's in store. good morning to both of you. we will be bringing the latest on israel and gaza and we will hear from two fathers, a palestinian and an israeli who have both lost daughters in recent years and who now works together to campaign for peace and understanding. and because it is the prime minister's ai summit next week here in the uk we will be talking to aytek early in our company science and technology select committee l donnellan and her labour shadow, peter kyle, hope you canjoin

hello. this is breakfast with ben boulos and luxmy gopal. let's return to our top story: israel's prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, said his country has entered the "second stage" of what he says will be a "long and difficult" war with hamas. he said ground forces are now deployed "all over the gaza strip." he urged residents to flee south to avoid the fighting. translation: the war - inside the gaza strip will be difficult and long and we are prepared for it. this is the second phase of the war whose goals are clear. the destruction of the military and governmental capabilities of hamas and the return of the hostages home. at every stage until now and at every stage from now on,

we will exhaust every possibility to return our abducted brothers and sisters to their families. after the war, all of us, we will all have to answer difficult questions. that includes me. a communication blackout over the weekend meant gaza was mostly cut off from the outside world, making it difficult to get a picture of what was happening on the ground. phone and internet connections are now being restored, but the hamas—run health ministry in gaza says the death toll has now risen to more than 8,000. israel's defense force has said more aid will be allowed into gaza today, but the un has warned of a humanitarian crisis. i am raising alarm about the possibly catastrophic consequences of large—scale ground operations in gaza and the potential for thousands more civilians to die. continued violence is not the answer.

hamas, which is regarded as a terrorist organisation by many governments, including the uk, has offered to release all hostages being held in gaza in return for the release of its prisoners in israeli jails. yesterday, the israeli prime minister met the families of hostages. many of them are campaigning for a pause in hostilities. no—one for a pause in hostilities. is talking to us. we want a nswe i’s. no—one is talking to us. we want answers. we want ask questions from the government. we are afraid for our hostages, ourfamily. we want the government. we are afraid for our hostages, our family. we want to bring them home alive. joining us now is defence analystjustin crump. good morning, justin. thank you for joining us. the invasion, the ground invasion is said to be falling short of a full—scale one. do you think thatis of a full—scale one. do you think that is to do with the hostage negotiations, the international reaction or is there a specific military strategy behind that? some

of all of the above, _ military strategy behind that? some of all of the above, i _ military strategy behind that? some of all of the above, i think _ military strategy behind that? some of all of the above, i think it - military strategy behind that? some of all of the above, i think it is - of all of the above, i think it is fair to say. but certainly on the military side, if you consider how difficult gaza is, it is very densely populated with some open areas around the edges, very complex, let works from hamas underlying the infrastructure of the cities, and of course the human environment, it is very densely packed in as we have seen in the population is already suffering from food and water shortages for years before the current conflict. you can just see how difficult it is as an objective and that isn't something that any army, let alone the forces, the israeli defense forces have gathered around the cell. it will go rushing in as an objective. the nearest recent parallel is the battle from rosalinda riek and a small number of defenders and we have seen and very much smaller number of civilians who were trapped in mosul as well, fought against the

iraqis and americans for nine months and there is a slow and steady increase in military forces and slow advances with great caution that keep israeli casualties down, do a thoroughjob. you can't rushing is the point. i'm not surprised to see the point. i'm not surprised to see the small in italy building better positions. the small in italy building better ositions. , ., the small in italy building better ositions. , . ., ., , positions. israeli authorities say the are positions. israeli authorities say they are targeting _ positions. israeli authorities say they are targeting hamas - positions. israeli authorities say they are targeting hamas and l positions. israeli authorities say - they are targeting hamas and hamas infrastructure. how feasible is it for them to do this while also analysing civilian deaths and keeping within international law? it is extraordinarily hard overall. i will say unfortunately that international law on conflict is an attempt to mitigate the horrors of war that are very real. it is not a perfect tool and there is no way completely to mitigate the damage the casualties caused by even the most carefully planned military campaign with the best weapon

systems, clearest objectives and easiest to rain. and of course this is almost none of those. i think in its complexity. so certainly the civilian toll is a huge factor. and if you argue the international that look at things like law of armed conflict and so on, it is actually the court of public opinion if you like around this israel has to be most wary of. hamas wanted to drag them into gaza, hamas wanted to have much of the people of gaza against the idf, and they are achieving that at the moment, and actually the suffering of people on the ground ultimately helps hamas potentially achieve its objectives which are falling short of them. israel has to be very careful of that, and it requires a lot more focus on these life—support for the civilians in gaza. by capturing terrain in gaza, they will have somewhere to take civilians to where they can be saved from the fighting, and there are some hints that will be what happened that israel starts to take grounding gaza and tries create genuine safe areas rather than at

the moment the area to the south is still under some bombardment. but i think we might start to see that change and israel knows they must is right in the eyes of the world in order to be able to achieve the military objectives. it is order to be able to achieve the military objectives.— military ob'ectives. it is worth -aointin military objectives. it is worth pointing out _ military objectives. it is worth pointing out that _ military objectives. it is worth pointing out that many - military objectives. it is worth - pointing out that many international organisations have said that they are concerned that they are seeing evidence that international law is being breached. in terms of this call for a pause in hostilities, is there anything that might persuade there anything that might persuade the israeli authorities to bring that about? i the israeli authorities to bring that about?— the israeli authorities to bring that about? .. , ., that about? i think very little at this stage- _ that about? i think very little at this stage- it — that about? i think very little at this stage. it is _ that about? i think very little at this stage. it is a _ that about? i think very little at this stage. it is a bit _ that about? i think very little at this stage. it is a bit like - that about? i think very little at this stage. it is a bit like some | that about? i think very little at i this stage. it is a bit like some of the negotiations between russia and the negotiations between russia and the ukraine at this stage. hamas arguably gains from supplies being brought into gaza, it can replenish stockpiles to allow to its fight against israel so israel doesn't want that. a ceasefire doesn't benefit israel really in any way unless it is linked to the release of which is a high priority. whether

or not that whatever happened or how that would happen or mechanism would allow for that obviously remains unclear. but, really, there is no point in israel militarily accepting a ceasefire at this stage. they are not willing to tolerate that or even pauses but i think there will be humanitarian aspect which we have sort of thing from israel ready by saying these are the clear routes to the south that you can take, this is the south that you can take, this is the area we will operate in on the ground. obviously they are still lodging some air bombardment in the south of the gaza strip. they have made some concessions to move people away from the fighting, they didn't go very far in the scale of the task i think you will see israel focus more in things like that as time goes on. i don't see the ceasefire against hamas, there is nothing to be going to israel by that, and everything to lose. i think the way this campaign stalls and the pressure might amount to such an extent that they can't resume the campaign which would be a problem for them. , , ., ~ campaign which would be a problem

firing on gaza. he said it has not stopped since he woke up. he said he counted six deep rumbles within the space of a minute, and that sort of intensification of operations, very much in line with what was coming out of the press conference by the israeli promise to benjamin netanyahu has said israel's ground operation has marked the second stage of what will be a long and difficult war in his words with hamas. you can get more news and analysis on the ongoing situation with a new bbc podcast. the conflict: israel—gaza is presented by our chief international correspondent lyse doucet, and is available now on the bbc sounds app or wherever you get your podcasts. it is well worth a listen. the first episode gives you a lot of background and history to understanding the deep roots of the long—running tensions and conflict there in the region. it is well

worth having a listen. bind there in the region. it is well worth having a listen.- worth having a listen. and it does answer some _ worth having a listen. and it does answer some very _ worth having a listen. and it does| answer some very straightforward basic questions that you might have, questions you might be afraid to ask about the background, even right from back to basics. idale about the background, even right from back to basics.— from back to basics. we will have len from back to basics. we will have plenty more _ from back to basics. we will have plenty more on — from back to basics. we will have plenty more on the _ from back to basics. we will have plenty more on the situation - plenty more on the situation later in the morning. for now, let's catch up in the morning. for now, let's catch up with all the sport. a nail—biting rug world cup final and south africa have done it again! idale rug world cup final and south africa have done it again!— have done it again! we are wearing south african _ have done it again! we are wearing south african colours. _ have done it again! we are wearing south african colours. it _ have done it again! we are wearing south african colours. it is - have done it again! we are wearing south african colours. it is like - have done it again! we are wearing south african colours. it is like wel south african colours. it is like we knew. ~ ., south african colours. it is like we knew. ~ . ., ., ., ., knew. we have given a nod. i am glad ou aot knew. we have given a nod. i am glad you got the — knew. we have given a nod. i am glad you got the memo- — knew. we have given a nod. i am glad you got the memo. look at _ knew. we have given a nod. i am glad you got the memo. look at that, - you got the memo. look at that, holding the trophy. this is back—to—back world cup wins for them, a record fourth world cup win. afterwards they said let's not forget this win represents more than rugby for south africa. i guess nothing embodies a rainbow nation more than what that team has achieved an they will be partying for days, weeks probably back there. it is a huge achievement for south africa. the all blacks tried everything they could to stop it

from happening. there wasjust everything they could to stop it from happening. there was just one point in it, like against france and against england, south africa edging this one to 12—11, eight finished in paris as andy swiss now reports. commentator: lifting south african gold! - for south africa, a night of glory and history. the reigning champions reigning once more in the most dramatic fashion. the springboks were up against one of rugby's ultimate challenges, the might of new zealand. so, who would grab the glory? well, south africa soon led through the boot of handre pollard. and then...just watch this — a high tackle from the new zealand“s captain, sam cane, and his initial yellow card was upgraded to a red. cane the first man to be sent off in a world cup final. had his team's hopes gone with him? well, in fact, the drama had barely began. after the break, a bad challenge from south africa's

captain and he was yellow carded. in a flash, new zealand were right back in it. beauden barrett diving over and suddenly they were just one point behind. barrett gets it down! could they pull off a remarkable comeback? well, with just a few minutes left, a chance to take the lead, but jordie barrett missed, and amid unbearable tension, south africa clung on. the first team to win the world cup four times, and while their delight was mirrored by new zealand“s despair, they prove once again they are the best in the business. andy swiss, bbc news. talking about what it might be like in south africa... these were the scenes back injohannesburg as that world cup was won again. the south africans can expect a huge welcome home again after retaining the trophy. it was on our terms. it was to just go all out, give it your all and don't hold back

anything, and i think that is what everyone did today. each campaign obviously has its unique identity. the one—point games and all the play—offs was tough, but i think that makes it just that much more special. for this group of people. 12 weeks ago i was preparing for a game, it is great. - but i think that has hit me. it has happened so fast and it is so intense, - you don't really think too much. an incredible achievement for south africa. a newsline from back here. an ice hockey match between sheffield steelers and nottingham panthers was abandoned last night following a "major medical emergency" when a player suffered a serious cut to his neck from a skate. the challenge cup match at sheffield arena was stopped in the 35th minute and the player received emergency treatment from paramedics on the ice, while the other players formed a ring around him. the 8,000 spectators there were asked to leave and the player was taken to sheffield“s northern general

hospital. there's been no official update since. tyson fury was knocked down and according to many outboxed by ufc fighter francis ngannou, but was still given the win byjudges in their clash of codes in saudi arabia. the wbc heavyweight champion did not have his belt on the line. he went down in the third after a left hook and struggled to land any big blows himself. ngannou had never boxed professionally before this fight, and despite many having him as the winner, lost on a split decision with two of the three judges in riyadh giving the fight to fury. fury was happy that he won. ngannou was surprisingly generous in his acceptance of the decision but plenty had more to say, questioning the result. british middleweight chris eubankjunior said: “'fury deserved to lose after having so much trouble against a man who has never boxed before. "too much time filming netflix specials "not enough time in the gym."

youtuber ksi: "congrats, ngannou, you're the people's champ." and nba star lebronjames: “'exactly why i don't watch boxing! “'c“mon man!" in spain, jude bellingham“s had his greatest night in a real madrid shirt as he inspired them to come from behind to beat barcelona in el clasico. trailing to a first half ilkay gundogan goal, bellingham smashed madrid level in the 68th minute, his fifth goal scored from outside the box since joining in the summer in just 13 appearances. he then popped up with the winner in the second minute of injury time. he now has 13 goals for the club in all competitions. another english player thriving abroad is harry kane. he scored a hat—trick as bayern munich won 8—0 against darmstadt in the german bundesliga. and take a look at his second goal, lobbing the keeper from inside his own half.

i turned on the ball and i saw the keeper out of the corner of my eye. i think we were up at the time, so i thought why not have a shot and as it was in the area, i was playing it to dip below the bar and thankfully it did. match of the day is coming up shortly, so we won't spoil that for you. there are five more games today. it's the manchester derby this afternoon with both sides heading into the match on the back of champions league wins in midweek. this is the fourth time united boss erik ten hag has faced his city rivals, and with a six—point gap to them in the table, he's in no doubt to the magnitude of the occasion. it isa it is a mess. above many other derbies. it is huge. it is manchester internal but i think it is also about world football and all the eyes will be on this game, a global one. i was in munich and i travelled

to england to play against them, it was a special scenario, a special place in the course he is special for our fans for all of us, but in the end, it is a football game. officials in colombia say the parents of luis diaz were kidnapped yesterday with his mother now rescued by police. the liverpool player has been preparing to play nottingham forest today. his parents were reportedly kidnapped as they drove to their home in the city of barrancas in la guajira, the town where diaz grew up. his father remains missing with the search continuing. neither diaz, nor liverpool have commented. in cricket. england face hosts india this morning, hoping for a morale—boosting win after a bitterly disappointing tournament to date. australia, however, are coming to the boil atjust the right time. they beat neighbours new zealand in one of the games of the tournament so far. travis head was in fine form,

scoring a quickfire century. new zealand came so close to reaching the sizeable target of 389, but fell just short, australia winning by five runs. and in the other game of the day, the netherlands beat bangladesh in kolkata by 87 runs, their second victory of the tournament. that result actually puts england bottom of the group stage table ahead of their game against india later. and that is all your support. thank you. breakfast is on the bbc news channel and bbc two until 9:00 this morning. still to come on today's programme: we'll bring you the latest developments from the israel—gaza war, and we'll be speaking to the british son of a 74—year—old israeli woman who was taken hostage by hamas. we'll bring you more reaction to the death of the friends actor matthew perry. all that to come on the bbc news channel and bbc two. but this is where we say goodbye to viewers on bbc one.

good morning, all. built of heavy overnight rain continues to push deadly north and east. it will lingerfor much of deadly north and east. it will linger for much of the day of southern and eastern scotland accompanied by gale force costs of wind. elsewhere, a blustery sunday afternoon. the bills and scattered showers. but some of those will be heavyin showers. but some of those will be heavy in hungary. all the details coming up shortly.

we are so happy to see you here! we have the weather forecast in a few minutes, but before that... before we go to the weather, we've seen lots of flooding overnight in areas including cornwall. these pictures are from looe, in the southeast of the county, at high tide. fire and rescue crews are there this morning dealing with the ongoing flooding in the town centre. there are almost 70 flood warnings in place today, mostly covering the south coast but also further north including some areas in lincolnshire and east yorkshire. those pictures from louise in cornwall. we get the full picture of the forecast with louise. i haven't been paying attention. i was caught out without umbrella yesterday. if

you win, with an accumulative effect because we have had the southwesterly wind and low pressure driving in showers across the southwest coast for some days. there was some heavy rain. as you can see, this was 24 hours ago. that rain really swept its way steadily overnight, a salivary wet weather for a time moving its way steadily northwards and now it has ground to a halt across northeast england and the scottish borders where it will tend to sit for much of the day with more showers to come down on the southwest. let's focus our attention on where the brain will be through the database, bright green is denoting the intensity of the rainfall. showery rain into eastern scotland accompanied by gale force winds, rough seas. take care if you are walking on those exposed coastal roots. furthersouth, it is are walking on those exposed coastal roots. further south, it is a case of sunny spells and scattered showers. the showers more frequent the further south and west you are. we may well see a little window a

finer weather across the midlands, east anglia in particular, but it will be a blustery afternoon, gus the wins while in excess of 30 miles an hour, 40 to 50 on exposed coasts. across the north of scotland, with further south it is business as usual, temperate is between 13 and 15. they have been either for over a week now. the rain will continue to think further south overnight, weakening a little so a quieter story for scotland, quieter further south, still keeping a view scattered showers around, but those temperatures probably sitting at around seven to 11 degrees are not too cold a start. but it is worth stressing that monday and tuesday will be slightly lighter and the wins lighter, low pressure weakening, there will be some showers around and once again these chiefly out of the coast. but not as many showers as we have seen just recently. temperatures between ten and 16 degrees. we will be a very

similar story on wednesday as well. sunny spells and scattered showers. those temperatures tend 15 celsius. i want to focus on the middle part of the week. beginning of november, low pressure set to return. one low moving away on wednesday and then another move in on thursday. this could be quite a significant stormy speu could be quite a significant stormy spell of weather on thursday, so we will need to keep a close eye on it and the position of this low with the wind circulating around in an anticlockwise direction, once again feeds in a lotto persistent rain across eastern scotland. we could see some severe gales at times as well. it is a long way off, a lot to play for and the position of this low could be subject to change so you will need to keep watching the weather forecast for the development of this story on thursday, but there is a potential for further flooding i am afraid. let's take a look at wednesday in a little more detail for the wednesday, yes, some snow to higher ground as we bump into some

colder airfor a time. transient colder air for a time. transient snow. colder airfor a time. transient snow. the wins feature on wednesday again and sunny spells of scattered showers follow—on behind it. you can see that storm potentially moving in on thursday. certainly it is worth keeping abreast of the forecast as we go through the week ahead. there is more rain to come for the start of november, gales at times and it is thursday the be a real issue, possible stormy conditions on thursday. keep watching the forecast. we will of course update you. forecast. we will of course update ou. ., , , you. louise will be back a little bit later in _ you. louise will be back a little bit later in the _ you. louise will be back a little bit later in the morning - you. louise will be back a little bit later in the morning on - bit later in the morning on breakfast as well, which is critically important if you are one of the places that had the overnight flooding and the flood warnings in place. orkney is well known for its rich archaeology, but the latest find is causing quite a stir. this it's an incredibly rare, 5,000—year—old tomb complete with well—preserved skeletons. aileen clarke has been to speak to the team excavating the site.

it is incredible, isn't it? in the east mainland of orkney this summer gradually and carefully this farmland was coaxed into giving up its secrets. the low the turf three weeks of digging reveal the remains of a 5000 year old neolithic tomb. inside, skeletons are still placed as they were all those thousands of years ago. as they were all those thousands of ears a . o. , as they were all those thousands of earsauo. , ., , . years ago. these skeletons include men, years ago. these skeletons include men. women _ years ago. these skeletons include men, women and _ years ago. these skeletons include men, women and children, - years ago. these skeletons include men, women and children, and - years ago. these skeletons include i men, women and children, and they are all set out very carefully in relation to one another. this is what in the future when we analyse their dna and their isotopes, we will be able to tell how they are related and where these were from and that will tell us a lot about the local population in orkney. fining the local population in orkney. only a small portion _ the local population in orkney. only a small portion of _ the local population in orkney. only a small portion of the tomb was uncovered as more than 200 years ago it was rated for stone for local building work. but in its day it would have rivalled maze how in the west mainland of orkney with its passengers and regarded as a brilliant piece of neolithic

as a kid i was obsessed with archaeology. i don't have the patience but i wanted to find some perfect on the beach but i didn't want to put in all the time digging around for it. you join a team where around for it. you join a team where a date on all the work and gliding. i think patience is a requirement to being an archaeologist. not for me and for you! it is the time of year when millions of people start wearing poppies ahead of remembrance day as a gesture of respect and gratitude to fallen servicemen and women, but the little paper flowers are more than just a symbol. the process of making and selling them also provides employment and is actually a form of therapy. for military veterans like steve who has been telling us what the role needs to him. hi, my name is steve pleasants, i have worked for the poppy factory for around eight years now. i was in the raf for six years. my role was a steward.

so i was working in officers“ and sergeants“ messes. i'm gay and it was very hard — you had to hide at that time, at that point, the ban was still there, so you would be thrown out, sometimes worse, put into prison and things like that. it was tough. it was very tough. i mean, it was probably tougher then than it was now. i was allowed to leave normally because i was already leaving anyway. but if i hadn't been leaving, they would have thrown me out. when i came out, i was dodging between jobs, i thought if i could have rejoined, i would have rejoined at that time, but i couldn't, really could you — you are living a secret, you are living a lie almost and that plays a lot on your mind. i had a major breakdown in 2013 and wasn't working and then i contacted the poppy factory and asked if they were looking for people to volunteer. i knew i needed something to do, i knew it was a supported place. they took me on as a tour assistant.

it gave me a purpose in my life every day. so a reason to get out of bed. as i say, not all the days are good, you can't always do it because mental health is struggling. but this is what is so lovely about this place is they embrace that. it's not a problem to say you're feeling well. —— you're not feeling well. we keep doing that today. we're still giving people — veterans with disabilities, getting them back into work, into what they want to do. that happens all around the country, as well as in the london area as well. also, you are doing something meaningfulfor people. these three is that we make. —— wreaths. around 150,000 a year, go around the world. do stay with us here on breakfast.

good morning. welcome to breakfast with ben boulos and luxmy ghopal. our headlines today. a warning from israel that it's preparing for a long and difficult war as its troops carry out ground operations in gaza. transmit the war inside the gaza strip will be difficult and long. this is our second war of independence. residents are told to flee south

as the israeli army declares parts of gaza a battlefield. the friends star matthew perry who played chandler has died at the age of 54 — he was found dead at his home in los angeles. south africa make history in paris. the springboks are rugby world champions for a record fourth time after beating new zealand in a dramatic final good morning. heavy overnight rain continues to push steadily north and east, lingering for much of the day across southern and eastern scotland accompanied by gale force winds. elsewhere a blustery sunday afternoon, sunny spells and scattered showers but some of those could be heavy and thundering. the details coming up shortly. it“s sunday the 29th of october. our main story. the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has warned that the war with hamas will be "long and difficult" after his ground troops entered gaza, supported by heavy air strikes.

israel has told residents of gaza city to leave what it calls "the battlefield" — claiming more humanitarian aid will be available further south. israel says it is targeting hamas — which is designated as a terrorist organisation by the uk government — following the attacks of october 7th that killed 1,400 people and saw more than 200 taken hostage. the hamas—run health ministry in gaza says the number of people killed by israeli bombing has now passed 8,000. our middle east correspondent yolande knell has the latest. with the war raging on, the death toll is rising. health officials in gaza now say more than 8,000 people have been killed. but palestinian rocket fire hasn't stopped. and as it strikes by air, israel says it is also widening its ground offensive.

translation: the war - inside the gaza strip will be difficult and long, and we are prepared for it. this is the second phase of the war whose goals are clear — the destruction of the military and governmental capabilities of hamas and the return of the hostages home. although a telecommunications blackout now appears to be easing, it has been hard to get news from inside gaza. but there have been more international calls to stop the fighting and protect the civilians who are suffering. i am raising alarm about the possibly catastrophic consequences of large—scale ground operations in gaza and the potential continued violence is not the answer. away from gaza, young palestinians in ramallah in the west bank were holding a visual, while nearby, officials that the president, a political rival of hamas. translation: i call on the brothers, the leaders of the arab states -

to hold an emergency summit to stop this brutal aggression— against our palestinian people and our cause, | ito face the regional and globall challenges and to do everything possible to enable our people to stay in their land. - these pictures were released by the israeli military as it sends more troops and tanks into gaza. but its invasion has been more limited than some had expected. israel is pledging to eradicate hamas after its attacks this month led to the country's deadliest ever day, killing more than 1,400 people. with hugs and reassurances, the prime minister is trying to allay the fears of israelis whose relatives are being held hostage in gaza. there is more talk of a possible swap for palestinians jailed in israel. take them, we don't need them here, yeah. i want my family and all the hostages back home. already, this three—week—old war has been the most intense and deadliest in the decades—old israel—palestinian conflict. both sides are bracing themselves for more tough days that are yet to come.

in the northern isles but you will have some sunshine, and that's strong north—easterly wind continues. overnight that rain will kick in and it slips its weight steadily north again out of scotland into the north of england. still some scattered showers and east of but drying up stuff quite a lot of cloud generally, temperatures between 7—11 but tomorrow with a weakened low pressure we start to see the wind is falling lighter and the showers fewer and further between some top temperatures likely with sunshine coming through and generally once again, 10—16. the temperature of not altering that more as is the story as we move into tuesday, sunny spells and some scattered showers but i want to get the middle part of the week because thatis the middle part of the week because that is the beginning of november and could be more as is the story as we move into tuesday, sunny spells and some scattered showers but i want to get onto the middle part of the week because that is the beginning of november and could

bring about significant weather. heavy rain pushing steadily north on wednesday, to be replaced by another low pressure, tightly packed isobars, the wind really a feature and we could see severe gale force winds and this could be a significant stormy spell of weather and feeding in a lot of moisture across eastern scotland, the ground is pretty saturated and he did not need to see any further heavy rain. keep watching the forecast wednesday into thursday, things could turn quite tricky once again. back to you. quite tricky once again. back to ou. ~ quite tricky once again. back to ou. . . , quite tricky once again. back to ou.. . ~' , quite tricky once again. back to ou. . ~ , .,. you. we always keep watching the forecast and _ you. we always keep watching the forecast and ben _ you. we always keep watching the forecast and ben was _ you. we always keep watching the forecast and ben was taking - you. we always keep watching the | forecast and ben was taking notes. you are testing him later? never do that next saturday. i will be terrified of louise if she was my teacher! it terrified of louise if she was my teacher! , ' �* ~ ., ., teacher! it is eight 15 am, good mornin: teacher! it is eight 15 am, good morning and — teacher! it is eight 15 am, good morning and thank— teacher! it is eight 15 am, good morning and thank you - teacher! it is eight 15 am, good morning and thank you for - teacher! it is eight 15 am, good l morning and thank you forjoining us! tributes are being paid to the friends actor matthew perry,

were sold in station kiosks, but that number has fallen to just over 10% on average, with passengers now buying online or using machines. we are nowjoined by anna—jane hunter, who is a rail consultant and a former director at network rail. this has provoked a lot of reaction and people feel very strongly about it so what do you think we are likely to see this week in terms of developments?— likely to see this week in terms of developments? there will be a lot of feedback mainly _ developments? there will be a lot of feedback mainly in _ developments? there will be a lot of feedback mainly in three _ developments? there will be a lot of feedback mainly in three areas - feedback mainly in three areas people — feedback mainly in three areas people are concerned, accessibility concerns _ people are concerned, accessibility concerns which are genuine, we need to ensure _ concerns which are genuine, we need to ensure tickets are there to help people. _ to ensure tickets are there to help people, stations are there to help people _ people, stations are there to help people who need additional help. people _ people who need additional help. people are concerned about safety, the presence of staff on stations is important — the presence of staff on stations is important and the staff who work in the booking offices are rightly concerned about what it means for them _ concerned about what it means for them in _ concerned about what it means for them in the — concerned about what it means for them in the future so i think we will see — them in the future so i think we will see feedback in those areas and

victoria derbyshire is presenting sunday with laura kuenssberg today. it's on bbc one at nine o'clock — let's hear what she has lined up. good morning. yes. we'll be bringing you the latest on israel and gaza. and hearing from two fathers, a palestinian and an israeli, who've both lost daughters in recent years and who now work together to campaign for peace and understanding. and because it's the prime minister's ai summit next week here in the uk, we'll be talking to tech billionaire alex karp, the science and technology secretary michelle donelan, and her labour shadow, peter kyle. i hope you canjoin us at 9 on bbc one. stay with us, headlines coming up.

hello, this is breakfast with ben boulos and luxmy gopal. let's return to our top story. israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu said his country has entered the "second stage" of what he says will be a "long and difficult" war with hamas. he said ground forces are now deployed "all over the gaza strip." footage taken this morning shows israeli tanks entering dancer as ground operations intensify. the war inside the gaza _ ground operations intensify. the war inside the gaza strip _ ground operations intensify. the war inside the gaza strip will _ ground operations intensify. the war inside the gaza strip will be - inside the gaza strip will be difficult and long. but we are prepared for it. we wish to see

which hostages return home. at every stage now and for every stage now on we will exhaust no opportunity to get our brothers and sisters return to theirfamilies. get our brothers and sisters return to their families. after the war, we will all have to answer difficult questions. that includes me. a communication blackout over the weekend meant gaza was mostly cut off from the outside world, making it difficult to get a picture of what was happening on the ground. but the hamas—run health ministry in gaza says the death toll has now risen to more than 8,000. israel's defence force has said more aid will be allowed into gaza today but the un has warned of a humanitarian crisis. lam raising i am raising alarm about the possibly— i am raising alarm about the possibly catastrophic consequences of a large—scale ground operation in

gaza and _ of a large—scale ground operation in gaza and the potential for thousands more _ gaza and the potential for thousands more civilians to dive. continued violence — more civilians to dive. continued violence is — more civilians to dive. continued violence is not the answer. —— civiiians — violence is not the answer. —— civiiians to _ violence is not the answer. —— civilians to die. hamas, which is regarded as a terrorist organisation by many governments including the uk, has offered to release all hostages being held in gaza in return for the release of its prisoners in israeli jails. yesterday, the israeli prime minister met the families of hostages — many of them are campaigning joining us now is noam sagi, whose mother ada is missing from her home in kibbutz nir oz. thank you forjoining us. have you had any updates on trying to free your mother? i don't have any updates about the efforts. i can tell you that what i hear is what

you hear, it's coming from the news, different resources but if something is happening then it's happening behind closed doors.— is happening then it's happening behind closed doors. when you see the intensification _ behind closed doors. when you see the intensification of _ behind closed doors. when you see the intensification of the _ behind closed doors. when you see the intensification of the operation | the intensification of the operation with ground troops going into gaza, do you feel that makes it more likely that your mother will be rescued and freed? you likely that your mother will be rescued and freed? you know, it's three weeks. _ rescued and freed? you know, it's three weeks, 22 _ rescued and freed? you know, it's three weeks, 22 days _ rescued and freed? you know, it's three weeks, 22 days now- rescued and freed? you know, it's three weeks, 22 days now since i rescued and freed? you know, it's. three weeks, 22 days now since the 7th of october when my mother was abducted and taken from her home. every day is difficult. it“s abducted and taken from her home. every day is difficult. it's a psychological nightmare and torture and there are different resources of what is going on and where are we, where are we rolling with this? of course, trying to focus on everything i'm trying to do in the

last three weeks is make sure it is the priority to bring my mother back home. i i can't sit here and telling you that this escalation, that i can see how this is going to help. i believe that if the qataris should come in and this will de—escalate everything that is happening. there's been the suggestion that some kind of deal could be done for the release of hostages, including a mother. if israel was to release all the palestinian prisoners that it has. what are your thoughts on that as a possible strategy? t has. what are your thoughts on that as a possible strategy?— as a possible strategy? i didn't hear that there _

as a possible strategy? i didn't hear that there is _ as a possible strategy? i didn't hear that there is an _ as a possible strategy? i didn't hear that there is an incredible offer on the table. at least this is from my resources. however, if that offer that you just described will be on the table, i think it must be taken. we've lost so many lives and there is so much suffering and the more every day we go, there will be more every day we go, there will be more suffering on the other side, as well. and there is only one way to start to rebuild families, reconnect parents with their grandchildren and this is by releasing the hostages so i don't think we need to talk about the price. we need to talk about the deal and do whatever deal it takes to bring them back home. it is the thing these people were betrayed. the emotional impact of

developments, day by day. when you see that four hostages were released, i mean that must stir up a whole swathes of emotions for you, a mixture of hope and then disappointment that your mother is not among them. could you tell me the emotional impact on you? thank ou for the emotional impact on you? thank you for asking- _ the emotional impact on you? thank you for asking. many _ the emotional impact on you? thank you for asking. many people - the emotional impact on you? thank you for asking. many people are - you for asking. many people are focusing on the practicalities but for us, we realise this is a situation every day, it's getting harder and harder. there's very little sleep and so much to do but nothing really happens at the same time. it's a psychological torture and it's very, very tricky, and the best way for me to deal with the situation is to keep my eyes on the

target, sit here and speak to you, do everything to promote and put pressure on the right places so that people will be released because if i let myself drift towards the whole palette of emotions, it is very, very painful. of course, i assume that my mum is alive and i hope she is fine and in no harm but it's the unknown, it's the void, it's the ideas that can come into anyone“s head. i'm trying to stay very, very positive. she is a very positive person and she would encourage me to be very positive about the situation. she's an arabic teacher. she speaks language and in my fantasist head and thinking she is probably sitting there, looking into her cap to“s eyes, —— capped a“s

eyes, and speaking something, something that politician couldn't do. each one of them, i believe that we need to create a mechanism of trust, that we can make a deal when we know how to do it now. all in all, that is positive but, i agree with you, it's very, very difficult emotionally. qt with you, it's very, very difficult emotionally-— with you, it's very, very difficult emotionally. with you, it's very, very difficult emotionall . .., , ~ emotionally. of course. indeed. and with that in — emotionally. of course. indeed. and with that in mind, _ emotionally. of course. indeed. and with that in mind, we _ emotionally. of course. indeed. and with that in mind, we are _ emotionally. of course. indeed. and with that in mind, we are very - with that in mind, we are very grateful to you for speaking to us this morning. from north london. it's this morning. from north london. it“s unimaginable hearing what he is going through and the families of

the hostages. 200 taken hostage by hamas are going through three weeks on. this is the view outside khan younis hospital in gaza this morning. i want to tell you what a correspondence there has told us. he says return of communications was a relief to some because the phone and internet communications were cut out overnight and have started to come back. he said it was a relief to some but also a shock to others. he said his friend called him crying. he said he wished the connection had been cut off, i found out my mother—in—law and herfamily been cut off, i found out my mother—in—law and her family were killed in an israeli raid and were found under the rubble. some

distressing messages coming through from a correspondence there, and from a correspondence there, and from people affected by the bombing their in southern gaza. we have correspondence all over israel and lebanon and other parts of the region. you can get more news and analysis on the ongoing situation with a new bbc podcast.

the rugby world cup has gone on for ever. after seven gruelling weeks, south africa have made history as they became the first team to win the rugby world cup four times. holding that trophy aloft there. the country buzz first black captain. the rainbow nation, this is much more thanjust a the rainbow nation, this is much more than just a rugby result. we will show you the rugby reaction backin will show you the rugby reaction back injohannesburg shortly but many tipped the all blacks to win. the springboks edged old foes new zealand12 points to 11 in a titantic clash at the stade de france as andy swiss reports. for south africa, a night of glory

and history, the reigning champions raining once more in dramatic fashion. the springboks were up against rugby“s ultimate challenge, the might of new zealand. so he would grab the glory? well, south africa soon led. then, just watch this. a high tackle from new zealand“s captain and his initial yellow card was upgraded to a read. he became the first man to be sent off in the world cup final and his teams hopes went with him. in fact, the drama had barely begun. after the drama had barely begun. after the break, a bad challenge from south africa's captain and he was yellow carded. in a flash, new zealand right back in it. suddenly, they werejust one zealand right back in it. suddenly, they were just one point behind. could they pull off a remarkable comeback? withjust could they pull off a remarkable comeback? with just a few minutes left, a chance to take the lead. but

this mess and south africa clung on. the first team to win the world cup four times. while their delight was mirroring new zealand“s despair, they prove they were the best in the business. these were the scenes back injohannesburg as the world cup was won. euphoria for the south africa fans. all ready to welcome those victorious players back home. it was on our terms. it was to just go all out, give it your all and don't hold back anything, and i think that is what everyone did today. each campaign obviously has its unique identity. the one point games and all the play—offs was tough, but i think that makes itjust that much more special. for this group of people.

5 weeks ago i was preparing for a game, it is great. but i think that has hit me. it has happened so fast and it is so intense, you don't really think too much. an ice hockey match between sheffield steelers and nottingham panthers was abandoned last night following a "major medical emergency" when a player suffered a serious cut to his neck from a skate. the challenge cup match at sheffield arena was stopped in the 35th minute and the player received emergency treatment from paramedics on the ice, while the other players formed a ring around him. the 8,000 spectators there were asked to leave and the player was taken to sheffield“s northern general hospital. there's been no offical update since. tyson fury was knocked down and according to many outboxed by ufc fighter francis ngannou, but was still given the win

byjudges in their clash of codes in saudia arabia. the wbc heavyweight champion did not have his belt on the line. he went down in the third after a left hook and struggled to land any big blows himself. ngannou, had never boxed professionally before this fight, and despite many having him as the winner lost on a split decision with two of the three judges in riyadh giving the fight to fury. in spain —jude bellingham“s had his greaterst night in a real madrid shirt as he inspired them to come from behind to beat barcelona in el clasico. trailing to a first half ilkay gundogan goal, bellingham smashed madrid level in the 68th minute — his fifth goal scored from outside the box since joining in the summer injust13 appearances. he then popped up with the winner in the second minute of injury time. he now has 13 goals for the club in all competitions another english player thriving
