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 it's really, they are putting us in a corner. we don't really know what to do. the un warns civil order may be breaking down in gaza, as thousands of residents break into warehouses for food and other basic items. our other main story: matthew perry, one of the stars of the hit tv show friends, has died. he was 5a. hello. i'm lewis vaughan jones. international agencies have expressed concern about reports

of an israeli evacuation order for a key hospital in northern gaza. they've warned that evacuating the site is impossible. it's treating hundreds of people, some of whom are chronically ill. around 1a,000 gazans are also reported to be sheltering there. both the world health organization and international federation of the red cross have raised deep alarm over the evacuation order, saying hospitals must be protected. there are unconfirmed reports of air strikes about 20 metres from the al-quds facility. these images show smoke billowing from what appears to be a strike nearby. and this footage shows staff and patients struggling to breathe because of smoke inside the hospital. it also shows damage to windows, after what the palestinian red crescent described as a "very intense bombardment around the hospital", with one rocket falling "only metres away". the al-quds hospital is in northern gaza — the focus of the israeli military�*s

operation against hamas. israel's military has reiterated its call for civilians in northern gaza to evacuate to the south. marwanjilani is the director general of the palestine red crescent society and he told us his fears about a strike on the al-quds hospital. the area around the hospital has been bombed from the air, intensively. as i said, the bombardment has been ongoing until about half an hour ago. and of course, we are worried, you know. that these rockets will destroy the hospital and will kill. with14,000 people inside the hospital, it's going to be a massacre. so we are afraid. we are horrified by the potential that this could really happen. and we don't know what to do. we are calling upon the international community to put pressure on israel to rescind this order and to respect the medical mission of the palestine red crescent society.

a little earlier, the israeli army spokesperson gave a news conference calling on people in the north of gaza to evacuate. translation: they are continuing to assess the situation _ and expanding things gradually, based on our plans, in order to achieve the objectives of this war. the ground force is... the ground campaign is extremely complex. we will do everything possible — from the sea, air and from the ground — in order to ensure that our troops will be safe. we are calling upon the northern gazans to evacuate temporarily to the south, for your own safety. and we are stressing that. we are calling upon you urgently to do so. just below the gazan river, the conditions will be so much better. there is water, food

and medication there. now this report — from our correspondent lucy williamson — contains images you may find distressing. explosion with so much in gaza broken, the rules governing daily life are starting to crack. israel says there are no food shortages there. at a un aid warehouse in the centre of gaza, palestinians displaced from their homes further north broke in yesterday to grab whatever food was there. translation: we have no flour,| no aid, no water, not even toilets. our houses were destroyed, no—one cares about us. we appeal to the people of the world, all international powers are against us. we needed aid, we wouldn't have done this if we weren't in need. israel says it sent more troops into gaza overnight. its long—expected ground offensive gradually expanding.

it says its forces were fighting hamas gunmen in the north. hamas rockets continue to target towns in israel. gazans describe israel's continued bombardment of their territory as the most intense they've ever seen. israel's leaders and army have a lot to prove, and there's growing pressure over the fate of more than 200 hostages in gaza, too. isreal�*s prime minister says this will help get the hostages out. many of the families need convincing. hamas demands for a prisoner swap with palestinians in israeli jails is difficult political territory, but the hostages are a powerful symbol of israel's failure to protect. tal shoham was taken hostage, along with six other members of his family, including his wife, adi, and children — eight—year—old naveh

and three—year—old yahel. a neighbour in kibbutz be'eri, close to the gaza border, said he saw tal being put in the boot of a car by hamas gunmen — alive, fully clothed, his hands tied behind his back. the house where the family were staying — gutted, but empty. no sign of their bodies. tal�*s father, gilad, says hope is a dangerous feeling. maybe they don't come back. maybe they come back dead. maybe one come back dead, maybe... i don't know. he says now isn't the time to set limits on what israel can do. we can pay everything, and i want they pay everything. if hamas need, i don't know. i think we need to take out whatever it takes, i don't know, i don't care.

i want my family back and i want everybody, the civilians, the children, the wife — out. these attacks united israel, but there are growing divisions over whether hamas or the hostages should determine israel's response. the government insist there's no conflict in its priorities and that the destruction in gaza will help bring the hostages home. lucy williamson, bbc news, southern israel. our gaza correspondent rusdhi abualouf sent us this update on what he knows about the situation in gaza city. yeah, it's quieter in khan younis compared with previous days, but in gaza, al-quds hospital — run by the palestinian icrc — is making the headlines night. as israel is pushing hard to the hospital, hundreds of air strikes in the last couple of days but, today, they are very close, damaging some of the hospital properties. we received a video from one of the people trapped inside the hospital, showing huge smoke inside and dust

inside the hospital. the medical team are distributing masks to the people as about 1,400 people... 14,000 people, according to the director of the hospital, are taking the hospital as refuge. because earlier, footage showed the scale of destruction around the hospital is huge, but now they are pushing hard to the hospital, damaging some of their properties, but it's still not direct hit on al-quds hospital, only very close to it. live now to david deptula — a retired lieutenant general and dean of the mitchell institute for aerospace studies. thank you very much coming on the programme. thank you very much coming on the programme-— 50 i thank you very much coming on the programme._ so it programme. great to be here. so it is the end of— programme. great to be here. so it is the end of the _ programme. great to be here. so it is the end of the day _ programme. great to be here. so it is the end of the day of— programme. great to be here. so it is the end of the day of phase - programme. great to be here. so it is the end of the day of phase two, | is the end of the day of phase two, the end of the first or second day depending how you count it of phase two of this military operation, what does phase two mean and what is your

assessment of what you have seen so far? ~ ~ �* , assessment of what you have seen so far? ~ ~ �*, ., ., far? well, i think it's important to realise that _ far? well, i think it's important to realise that israel's _ far? well, i think it's important to realise that israel's military - realise that israel's military operations are being integrated across all wolfberry domains, air, sea, space, cyber, as well as information, so it is a multi—domain effort. and what people are calling phase two or same ground operations, i would tell you is ground operations may become more prominent, but air operations are going to continue throughout this campaign. and infact, a primary role of ground operations will be to gather intelligence about hamas's tunnels, their rockets, their commanding control and other keynotes. and then those will be destroyed from the air. so in this sense, ground operations are supporting the air campaign. in terms of the strategy, the planning,

how much intelligence will they have on the exact locations of the hamas leadership that they want to take out? ~ , ., . out? well, it is an excellent question — out? well, it is an excellent question and _ out? well, it is an excellent question and that _ out? well, it is an excellent question and that is - out? well, it is an excellent question and that is one - out? well, it is an excellent question and that is one of. out? well, it is an excellent i question and that is one of the reasons that you see probing ground operations. because it is difficult to ascertain just exactly where hamas leadership is located unless you can get inside those urban areas and identify where the entrances to the tunnels are and use other means to identify specifically where they are at. and that's why they are going in on the ground.- are at. and that's why they are going in on the ground. well, let's talk about those _ going in on the ground. well, let's talk about those tunnels, - going in on the ground. well, let's talk about those tunnels, they - going in on the ground. well, let'sl talk about those tunnels, they have taken a lot of focus. what exactly are these ground forces doing when they locate them? are they going to go into them and all the risks that go into them and all the risks that go with that or is it a case of destroying the entrances to them? well, those exact details are answers to questions that the israeli defence force will keep very

close hold. but you identified one of the reasons that you have got to go in there on the ground because many of these entrances are located inside other buildings. for example, ijust inside other buildings. for example, i just listened inside other buildings. for example, ijust listened to your prior peace that talked about the largest hospital in gaza. hamas's major command and control centre is located directly underneath that hospital, so to find out exactly where the entrances and exits are located, the israeli defense forces will have to go there and then point them out. what they do with that information is the question you are asking and, quite frankly, that depends on the exact military objective for that particular tunnel entrance and what it leads to. i see. when it comes to protecting civilians, we have heard again the calls for civilians to move from the north to the self from the idf. what else will be part of the discussions

and the decision and the strategy making? and the decision and the strategy makin: ? ~ ~ , making? well, i think it is unfortunate _ making? well, i think it is unfortunate that - making? well, i think it is unfortunate that there - making? well, i think it isj unfortunate that there are making? well, i think it is. unfortunate that there are so making? well, i think it is- unfortunate that there are so many people out there that tempt —— attempt to equivocate hamas with the israeli defence. under the laws of international humanitarian law, they obligate hamas to avoid locating military objectives within densely populated areas and also to protect the civilian population under their control. right now, they are in gross violation of these laws, so that's why you hear israel warning the civilian population to get away from locations where hamas is located. and i think it is also important to recognise that hamas intentionally aims to kill civilians. to include palestinians, thatis civilians. to include palestinians, that is part of their strategy. israel does not attack civilians. so there is no moral or any other kind

of equivalency because the use of presence of civilians to render areas or combatant forces immune from attack is a war crime.- from attack is a war crime. thank ou ve from attack is a war crime. thank you very much — from attack is a war crime. thank you very much for _ from attack is a war crime. thank you very much for coming - from attack is a war crime. thank you very much for coming on - from attack is a war crime. thank you very much for coming on the | you very much for coming on the programme, thank you. let's get more now from our diplomatic correspondent paul adams, who's injerusalem. we were talking about the military detail, but if we just step back a bit wider, what is your assessment of where we are tonight? i bit wider, what is your assessment of where we are tonight?— bit wider, what is your assessment of where we are tonight? i think we are where we _ of where we are tonight? i think we are where we have _ of where we are tonight? i think we are where we have been _ of where we are tonight? i think we are where we have been for - of where we are tonight? i think we are where we have been for the - of where we are tonight? i think we | are where we have been for the last couple of days, which is in the early stages of a ground operation that may be sustained. it is really only confined to a very small area of the north—western tip of the gaza strip, but it is inevitably going to expand. as the israeli army feels that it expand. as the israeli army feels thatitis expand. as the israeli army feels that it is able to move forward and tackle some of the targets that it is clearly setting for itself from

the beginning of this campaign. the air campaign will continue, they clearly feel that they have a great deal that they can still do from the air. we are not privy to any of this planning, we don't know for example what was being hit near the al-quds hospital in gaza today that caused such panic, but that is part of an ongoing israeli aerial effort up and down the gaza strip which is maintaining the pressure obviously on hamas, but also continuing to make life intolerable for more than 2 million civilians. find make life intolerable for more than 2 million civilians.— 2 million civilians. and on the issue of aid, _ 2 million civilians. and on the issue of aid, just _ 2 million civilians. and on the issue of aid, just ten - 2 million civilians. and on the issue of aid, just ten trucks . issue of aid, just ten trucks believed to have gone in today. aid agencies saying it is still nowhere near enough. agencies saying it is still nowhere near enough-— agencies saying it is still nowhere near enou:h. ., ., , , ., near enough. no, absolutely. i mean, normall , near enough. no, absolutely. i mean, normally. they — near enough. no, absolutely. i mean, normally, they would _ near enough. no, absolutely. i mean, normally, they would expect - near enough. no, absolutely. i mean, | normally, they would expect hundreds of trucks to pass every day. and since the start of this, first, we had a couple of weeks with no aid going in at all and since then, ten,

15, 20 trucks a day, not much more than 100 in total so far. so an absolutely tiny proportion of what is needed. this evening, following a conversation betweenjoe biden and benjamin netanyahu, american officials are saying that the us president has urged israel's leader to increase the amount of aid it permits to enter the gaza strip, possibly to the region of around 100 trucks. that would have received be an improvement, but it is still not enough to address what has become a really mounting and serious humanitarian crisis. where we have seen people breaking into un warehouse is trying to find what food they can, in a kind of breaking down of law and order.— down of law and order. thanks so much for that. _ israel has urged the russian authorities to protect israelis and jews in the country after pro—palestinian

protesters stormed an airport in the regional capital of the majority—muslim republic of dagestan. the crowd was seen in videos circulated on social media, running through the terminal building, allegedly searching for israelis who had arrived on a flight from tel aviv. the russian national guard is reported to have arrived on the scene. let me show you the latest pictures — from the israel defense forces — of their ongoing ground offensive in gaza. what they describe as the "second stage" of the war. the idf say they've hit a50 military targets belonging to hamas — designated a terrorist organisation by many western governments. it's in retaliation for the 1,400 israelis killed in hamas raids on southern israel on october 7th. the idf spokesman

has put the number of people held hostage in gaza at 239, higher than previously thought. the united nations�* relief agency for palestinians, unwra, is warning that civil order is starting to collapse in gaza, after three weeks of israeli bombardment. warehouses containing flour and other basic supplies have been ransacked by thousands of people. this is the scene live in gaza. coming into the bbc building that we have been monitoring for the last few weeks. a quick pause of our coverage now and we are going to the sport. hello. the football match between lyon and marseille in the french ligue un this evening has been postponed. after their team bus was attacked with rocks as it entered the stade velodrome. lyon's manager fabio grosso was injured during the incident.

the match was scheduled for 7.45 gmt. lyon are bottom of the table. the two clubs are arch—rivals in french football. in the premier league, it's been a difficult afternoon for the red half of manchester, after manchester city comfortably beat their rivals, united. before the game, there were poignant scenes, as supporters from both sides of the city paid tribute to the late sir bobby charlton. erling haaland scored twice for city at old trafford. his first, a penalty, then his second, a headerjust after the break. phil foden scored their third. it was a game against a rival at old trafford, but i had a feeling that in this part of the season, we are playing better than last season, in this part of the season. so, yes, we are here. so coming to old trafford and all the time we are here, we perform well. last season, we lost. today, this season, we won, so good. 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—nil. goals from diogojota, darwin nunez and mo salah. he was with us in the hotel and then he just went home. i think it's a very harsh situation. i don't know if anyone knows how we react if it happens to us. it's just hard to think about it. and, yeah, ge was going to play and i played instead of him, and ijust remembered if we scored, to hold his shirt, to show that we are all, i am with him. and hopefully, things work out well in the end. in the day's other matches, everton beat west ham 1—nil. there was another good win from aston villa, who beat luton. while brighton and fulham drew on the south coast. now to the cricket 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 six wins from six. 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 semi—final place, while bottom—side england need a miracle. 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 on their home patch. and to _ today, india on their home patch. and to he — today, india on their home patch. and to be honest, i was really pleased — and to be honest, i was really pleased at the halfway mark, it was definitely _ pleased at the halfway mark, it was definitely our best bowling and fielding — definitely 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 total. there was a _ being a very achievable total. there was a lot _ being a very achievable total. there was a lot of— being a very achievable total. there was a lot of you out there as well so that— was a lot of you out there as well so that after the start we got, 0—30. _ so that after the start we got, 0-30, i— so that after the start we got, 0—30, i thought we were well placed. but anytime _ 0—30, i thought we were well placed. but anytime you lose 4—10, you yourself— but anytime you lose 4—10, you yourself under pressure in the chase and it— yourself under pressure in the chase and it all— yourself under pressure in the chase and it all unravelled from there, unfortunately. and that's all the sport for now.

thanks for that. tributes have poured in for the actor matthew perry, who's died at the age of 5a. he became famous around the world for playing chandler bing in friends, one of the biggest tv shows of the �*90s and noughties. he was found dead at his home in los angeles yesterday. our entertainment correspondent lizo mzimba reports. each of friends�* six stars brought unique characteristics to the show. matthew perry's chandler — he was the funny one. someone at work ate my sandwich. well, what did the police say? i'm sorry, we don't have your sheep. i went to that tanning place your wife suggested. was that place...the sun? supremely talented at delivering sometimes self—aware one—liners. i'm chandler, i makejokes when i'm uncomfortable. i'm not great at the advice. can i interest you in a sarcastic comment? but during his time on the comedy hit, he was struggling with addiction.

between the end of one season and the start of the next, losing more than 20 kilos, something he often spoke candidly about. it became a very public issue which, in hindsight, was quite good. i mean, i'm happy that it was because it ultimately helped me in the long run because i had to go through those struggles publicly, i get to help a lot more people. in the early hours of this morning, us media reported that the actor had been 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 perry's home. we go way back, before monica made an honest man out of... among those paying tribute have been maggie wheeler, who played janice, a previous girlfriend of chandler's. she said... "what a loss, the world will miss you, matthew perry, the joy you brought to so many in your too short lifetime will live on.

i feel so very blessed by every creative moment we shared." i got her machine. her answering machine? no, interestingly enough, her leaf—blower picked up. laughter with roles spanning tv and film, matthew perry's career was more than just friends, but chandler bing is the role that will define him for millions. the friends actor matthew perry, who's died at the age of 5a. here in the uk, a player with the ice hockey team the nottingham panthers has died after suffering a serious cut to his neck during a game yesterday. adam johnson was injured during his team's fixture against the sheffield steelers. philip norton reports. a city in mourning for one of its young sports stars. adam johnson was a forward for the nottingham panthers ice hockey team. commentator: he scores. he has previously played in north america's national hockey league, playing 13 games for the pittsburgh penguins.

last night, he was involved in a challenge cup match against sheffield steelers, when he suffered a serious cut to his neck from a skate, in a freak accident on the ice. i managed to meet him on friday, i sponsored one of the players. and just overall, he was a really, really nice guy. sombre, tragic. such a freak accident. fans of both teams have been paying their respects. around 8,000 witnessed the incident at sheffield arena. once it became obvious he was receiving cpr, the sheffield steelers captain, robert dowd, got all the players around adam while he was being attended to, formed a kind of circle around him, and then the arena were able to put screens in place while he received medical attention. but as we now know, sadly, he's passed away. this afternoon, adam's team—mates joined fans to lay flowers and promised supporters they'd all get through the tragedy together.

as a mark of respect, all elite ice hockey league games across the country have been postponed today and, in a statement, nottingham panthers ice hockey club said... it would "dearly miss adam and neverforget him." it said that... their thoughts are with "all of adam's family, friends, fans and his partner." philip norton, bbc news, nottingham. back to our gaza coverage. this is the dark skyline over gaza, with a view down from southern israel into gaza. this is a live feed coming into the bbc that we have been monitoring continuously. plenty more coverage to come as, in the last few hours, and idf spokesperson, israeli defense forces spokesperson, has again asked people in northern gaza to move south. plenty more to come. this is bbc news.

hello. rain has dominated the weather story over the last couple of weeks and there is more unwanted rain to come through the week ahead. but also of concern, the risk of damaging winds, particularly through wednesday night and thursday, as i'll show you in a moment. in the shorter term, still some outbreaks of rain, certainly some showers as we go through tonight, some clear spells as well. temperatures maybe dropping to three degrees in the highlands, 11 there in the south—west of england, but low pressure still very much in charge of our weather as we head into monday morning. this low will be weakening somewhat, so it won't be as windy on monday, but there will still be some showers. some really hefty showers actually across parts of northern ireland, the isle of man and some scattered showers across england and wales. some of these still heavy, thundery, still with the potential to bring some localised flooding and disruption, some sunny spells in—between. scotland having a much drier day, just the odd shower, but most places will be fine, and temperatures north to south, 8 to 15 degrees. into tuesday, more showers in the forecast.

a band of showers likely to be pushing northwards and eastwards across northern ireland, parts of england and wales. scotland, again, largely dry. south—west england later in the day will see a band of heavy thundery rain, our next frontal system, and that will drive its way northwards and eastwards during tuesday night and into wednesday. very heavy rain for the middle part of the week. some snow for a time over high ground in northern scotland, also turning quite windy for coasts of wales, south—west england and in the north of scotland. those temperatures, again, 8—15 degrees. and then we have a deep area of low pressure that is expected to approach our shores on thursday. this has been named storm ciaran by the met office. the exact track of this low may change a little bit between now and then, so it is worth staying in touch with the forecast as we firm up on the details. certainly, though, it looks like many of us will see some very heavy rain. and down towards the south of england and south wales,

there's the chance for inland spots to see gusts of up to 60mph. but if this forecast comes off as is currently expected, we could see gusts of 80—90mph for exposed coasts in the south. that would bring damage and significant disruption, there will also be a lot of rain.

the deadliest assault in israel's history. shouting and gunfire so many people are dead and are kidnapped and are hurt that i think israel will never be the same. loud explosion and the brutal response to hamas and its murderous attack. explosion israel is stunned

by its security failure. this was a mass attack, well—planned, well—equipped. and we failed. we failed to protect our people. siren in gaza, a growing humanitarian crisis. we are talking about a very disaster situation. if the fuel is out, the hospital will turn to mortuary. loud explosions the loss of life is fuelling anger on both sides. this attack on october 7 is a proper before—and—after moment. it opens a new chapter in the palestinian—israeli conflict _ with israel on the verge of a ground invasion of gaza, could this crisis engulf the whole middle east? explosion you could hear, tack—tack—tack—tack.
