hello and welcome. live from london. this is bbc news. health workers report shelling near to the al quds hospital in gaza — hours after israel gives an order to evacuate. the palestinian red crescent says it's requested urgent clarification. this decision affects the lives of 1a,000 people plus our patients and they are really putting us in a corner, we don't really know what to do. israel is continuing with its military operation — moving more tanks and infantry into gaza. jordan's foreign minister warns the world must act now. if we allow this war to continue, then not only have we failed our international standards, but we've failed the right of all our peoples to live in peace, and i think all of us need to take a deep pause and say that we all have failed the palestinian people, the israeli people. the un warns civil order may be breaking down in gaza — as thousands of residents break in to warehouses for food and other basic items.
5:31 pm
people are getting frustrated. they're getting hungry as the siege, the three—week—long siege, continues. our other main story — matthew perry — one of the stars of the hit tv show friends — is found dead at his home in los angeles. hello and welcome. i'm maryam moshiri. more now from the gaza strip, where clashes have been reported between hamas fighters and israeli troops. israeli media say the country's forces engaged several hamas gunmen who emerged from a tunnel, killing some of them. hamas�* armed wing said it had attacked israeli armoured vehicles, killing their occupants. there are thousands of people displaced and living in tents in gaza. our special correspondent fergal keane is injerusalem and he has been speaking to some of those trapped in gaza — a warning his
5:32 pm
piece contains distressing images. in the bombed districts of gaza, it seems as if the world is broken. a trauma shared across generations. "my daughter, my daughter," a voice calls out. screaming and shouting. children caught in an escalating war. the israelis say they are targeting hamas, the killers of their citizens. in these densely packed areas, civilian casualties are mounting.
5:33 pm
"i was about to do my afternoon prayers," he says, "and suddenly the missile fell on our house." they've known for before, but nothing like this. who lives, who dies — a matter of chance. and their stories only reach us through the courage of a few. hello, mahmood, how are you? this is one of the journalists inside girls are reporting the tragedy for the bbc. his images, a daily record of a people's agony. he said that as hard as he saw, he has tried to deliver sometimes from behind the camera, he would stand and cry and the only thing he would do is just be silent.
5:34 pm
more than 1.4 million people have fled their homes. such shelter as they can find is rudimentary. access to the basic essentials of life, severely restricted. translation: we have reached a state where we wished we had died under - the rubble. just to find some rest. our life is torture, we wait in line for three hours to use a toilet. can a child like this wait for three hours for a turn to go to the toilet? can a child wait for bread? it is catastrophic. the questions accumulate. the war offers only pain in reply. fergal keane, bbc news, jerusalem.
5:35 pm
we have been covering quite extensively here on the bbc the international reaction not only from the us, europe and other countries but also from regional players because of course this plays out regionally and there is a fear that it could end up leaking into other arab countries in terms of problems and issues. my colleague interviewed thejordanian foreign minister, she asked him whether he agrees with the queen ofjordan that in her words, there is a glaring double standard by the west and failing to condemn the deaths of palestinian civilians.
5:36 pm
cnet a resolution that resolution was supported by the majority people if you count the numbers. it is a step in the right direction, we need, all of us to come and say international law has to apply equally and fairly, no life is of lesser value than the other. we valuejewish lives, we value is really like, we value palestinian lives and we hope everyone will come from the moral ground and everyone will say that life matters no matter what the nationality, race, religion is and make sure that the statute applies to all. �* , ., , , make sure that the statute applies toall. _ to all. are you deeply disappointed b our to all. are you deeply disappointed by your key — to all. are you deeply disappointed by your key allies _ to all. are you deeply disappointed by your key allies including - to all. are you deeply disappointed by your key allies including the - by your key allies including the united states, britain, other western states who very publicly came to israel and said that they are on the israeli side in this work
5:37 pm
was mac what we told everybody is support israel, but we will not supporting israel by supporting this war. ., , ,, war. you support israel by suworting _ war. you support israel by supporting peace - war. you support israel by supporting peace because | war. you support israel by - supporting peace because only war. you support israel by _ supporting peace because only peace will bring the security and safety to every palestinian and israeli. supporting this war is only going to push this region deeper into the abyss will stop. how many little wars have we had before, how many violent occupations have they had before, who to defeat the narrative of violence we have to offer a narrative that convinces people that you have your right to arrive free from occupation within you and what is standing between you and that is violence. unfortunately, we have not seen that, we have seen the palestinian issue of creating a job here, a job there'd thinking you can jump here, a job there'd thinking you can jump over the palestinian issue to make peace in the region which is a fallacy as events have sadly and
5:38 pm
terribly shown us will stop that is lesson for all. what we want in jordan, but we went in the role is for palestinians to live in peace. that war is not helping only peace would do that. again prevent us from being. and again, prevent us from creating peace again. president erdogan of turkey has said that hamas is not a terrorist organisation. do you agree? look, i think nobody�*s going to benefit from characterisations. everybody stands where they are right now. everybody is navigating different... do you agree with israel's war aims to destroy hamas? aims this time to destroy hamas? jordan has had its own problems with hamas. lyse, we have to ask the question what are the conditions that produce hamas? unless we change those conditions, the same conditions, the same misery will produce hamas and what's other than hamas. what we're trying to say, let us all convince all people on both sides that the adoption of violence
5:39 pm
as a strategy, as a means to get the peace is the wrong way. let us offer people an alternative. and then people themselves, palestinians and israelis, will come and say, "we don't want violence, because peace negotiations "are getting us what we want, which is a life of decency, a life "of safety, a life of promise." but we need to anchor things in realities. and again, let me be very clear, if i may, here. putting things in context is not in any way justification. we're notjustifying what happened on october seventh, no human being will. but at the same token, no human being willjustify what's happening in gaza now. so let's be clear. let's put things in context. learn from why we are facing this terrible moment in our very sad and tragic history in this part of the world, and all work together and say, "enough, enough, enough," and move forward to a stage and follow an approach that is peaceful, that will bring peace to all.

world cup where defending champions england have been beaten again — this time by hosts india who are flying at the high top of the table with 6 wins from 6. it could have been very different in lucknow though, after england restricted india to a modest 229 for 9 in their 50 overs. captain rohit sharma top scoring on 87 runs while his predecessor kohli was out for a duck. but in reply, england's batting was another huge disappointment, neither root or stokes got a run between them, and they were bowled out forjust 129 with a third of their overs left to play. so india have all but secured a semifinal place, while bottom side england need a miracle. me as measa me as a bowler probably thought we had to pick an early wicket to be in the game and certainly, after they fell down for a0 runs we just drag the ball in perfect areas and made them make mistakes. that was the whole plan as a bowler, as a spinner, definitely when you lose
5:51 pm
early wicket you are always behind the game. we knew it was going to be hard work today— we knew it was going to be hard work today india _ we knew it was going to be hard work today india in the home patch and to be honest_ today india in the home patch and to be honest i_ today india in the home patch and to be honest i was really pleased at the halfway mark and i definitely thought— the halfway mark and i definitely thought it was our best bowling and fielding _ thought it was our best bowling and fielding effort and we went out to bat with — fielding effort and we went out to bat with a — fielding effort and we went out to bat with a lot of positivity about being _ bat with a lot of positivity about being a — bat with a lot of positivity about being a very achievable title. there was a _ being a very achievable title. there was a lot— being a very achievable title. there was a lot of— being a very achievable title. there was a lot of due out there as well so i thought particularly after the start we — so i thought particularly after the start we got we were in a well—placed but any time you start we got we were in a well— placed but any time you lose 4-10 _ well— placed but any time you lose 4-10 you — well— placed but any time you lose a—io you put yourself into your pressure — a—io you put yourself into your pressure and it unraveled from there — 0nto football and it's been a difficult afternoon for the red half of manchester after manchester city comfortably beat their united rivals in their premier league derby. erling haaland scored twice for city at old trafford, his first — a penalty then his second a header just after the break. phil foden scored their third. before the game, there were poignant scenes as supporters from both sides of the city paid tribute to the late sir bobby charlton.
5:52 pm
meanwhile at anfield, liverpool's players showed their support for their team mate luis diaz whose parents had been kidnapped in colombia. diaz clealy didn't play but liverpool were dominant against nottingham forest, beating them 3—0. goals from diogojota, darwin nunez and mo salah. he was in the hotel and then he just went home. i think it is a very hard situation. i don't know if anyone knows how we react if it happens to us. it is hard to think about it. he was going to play, i played instead of him and then i remembered that if i scored, to hold his shirt. hopefully things work out well in the end. dominic calvert—lewin scored the only goal in everton's victory over west ham — their first game since the club's chairman bill kenwright passed away. calvert—lewin had described kenwright, who died last monday, as a "great man". thoughts echoed by the everton manager sean dyche.
5:53 pm
a very tough week for different reasons. very sad week in many ways for many people. it would be fitting today to get results for the chairman, who sadly passed away. is the feeling amongst the camp that that was for bill kenwright? we didn't make a big deal about it but yes, i think the underlying thing is that a lot of players spent a bit of time here and know him and they are sad as well as i am. when you play thursday to sunday it is never an easy schedule. we are pleased we have got it. we have won some and lost some after coming back on a thursday. today was really tight and in the main we have been pretty good at that stadium. a difficult one to take. in the day's other matches, there was another good win from aston villa who beat luton. while brighton and fulham drew on the south coast.

the sport for now. hello, the week ahead promises to bring yet more wet and very windy weather. in fact, we now have a named storm from the met office, storm ciaran, set to arrive through wednesday night and into thursday. so we could see a very blustery spell of weather indeed. as we end sunday afternoon, still some pretty heavy rain falling across parts of southern scotland and northern england with lots of showers elsewhere. as we head through the night, this area of weather will pull out into the north sea, but we will keep showers going, particulary around southern and western coasts. some of those could still be on the heavy side. 0vernight temperatures between five and 11 degrees. it may get a bit chillier than that in some spots in northern scotland. low pressure with us to start monday. but this area of low pressure tending to weaken a little, so it won't be as windy on monday, and actually, for scotland, it should be a predominantly dry day. we will see some pretty heavy showers across parts of northern ireland,
5:57 pm
wales, the south of england. the midlands and east anglia probably not seeing too much in the way of wet weather. it will stay quite cloudy across of northern england. temperatures north to south between eight and 15 degrees. into tuesday, we will see further showers, particulary across northern ireland, england and wales. some could be on the heavy side, with a band of heavy, thundery rain pushing into south—west england and south—west wales by the end of the day. much of scotland will be dry — highs of 9—15 degrees. through tuesday night and into wednesday, this frontal system will push its way northwards and eastwards. this will bring some pretty heavy rain, perhaps some snow on its leading edge over high ground in scotland, at least for a time. some of the rain could contain some flashes of lightning, some rumbles of thunder and it will be particularly windy for wales, the south—west of england and the north of scotland. temperatures again generally between eight and 15 degrees. but it's as we move through wednesday night and into thursday that this deep area of low pressure approaches our shores, and it has been named
5:58 pm
storm ciaran by the met office, and it looks likely that it will bring some very heavy rain. there could be enough rain for some flooding, but also some really strong winds. the exact positioning of this low still open to question, but it looks like southern parts of england and the channel islands at risk, particularly along the coast, of seeing gusts of 80, possibly 90 mph.
