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 it's really, they are putting us in a corner. 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. our other main story — matthew perry — one of the stars

of the hit tv show friends — has died. he was 5a. now on bbc news — our world: lady of the hills: the thai wife killing. thai women are sold a dream online. the message is, marry a foreign man and you will have a good life. many couples of course remain happy, but the dark reality of others isn't talked about in my community.

in this isolated part of england, the body of a thai woman was found. 20 years on, her family is still seeking answers and justice. she died not long after i moved to the uk. her death has always haunted me. why didn't her british husband report her missing? i tracked him down to question him. mr armitage! yeah? did you kill your wife? mr armitage. .. i replied to your email, 0k? this is the first time buathong is visiting the place

where her cousin was found. in 2004, walkers came across her half—naked body here in this remote place. it was buathong who recognised a police drawing of her in a bbc

story, finally identifying the body as 36—year—old lamduan armitage seekany. for 15 years, she was just known as the lady of the hills. no—one in the uk had reported her missing. at first, police didn't believe her death was suspicious. it wasn't until 2016, more than a decade after she was found, that the case was reopened after a police review. they now believed she was killed. the lack of any form of identification, with a body taken away from the local habitation would suggest that somebody is trying to hide her, to conceal the fact that she's dead,

at least for a while. in a quest for answers, i have come back to the village where lamduan grew up in rural north—east thailand to meet her family.

that foreign boyfriend was a british man, david armitage. they went on to marry and move to the uk together in 1991. she reported her daughter missing to the local authorities. joomsri even travelled to bangkok asking for help from the foreign office. it was years before she learned she was dead.

she reported her daughter missing to the local authorities. joomsri even travelled to bangkok asking for help from the foreign office. it was years before she learned she was dead.

joomsri says david told her grandchildren their mother had remarried and gone home, and that, years later, her grandson turned up asking for his mother. david armitage has always denied any involvement in the death of his wife. david armitage has always denied any involvement in the death of his wife. he's now living back in thailand and in 2019, when asked, he said, "i didn't kill my wife. absolutely not."

the thai department of special investigation are now working with the uk police on the case. in february this year, uk police travelled for the first time to thailand to investigate the case, and together with the thai authorities, interviewed lamduan�*s parents. the team also requested an interview with her husband, david armitage, as a witness. they also wanted him to do a dna test, but he refused to meet them, saying he was unwell. the team also requested

here, in lamduan�*s region, there are many thai women married to foreigners. at the hotel i'm staying at, i met malinee and dirk faude, her german husband. they chat cheerfully she take — care of me very good. if i want massage, she do that. with her hands.

if my fingernails too long, she cut them. i i don't have to ask. she come to me and say, "hey, your fingernails- are long, i have to cut." german never do. my german ex—wife never do, for example, like that. - i tell malinee that i'm here to investigate what happened to lamduan. 0n thai social media, there are lots of videos telling you to try your luck and try and get a foreign husband.

in some videos, the presenter gives tips to women in rural areas. they pray 75% of the thai community in the uk is female. it's one of the most unequal gender ratios in a migrant group. the thai women network was set up seven years ago. it is a support group that aims to educate women about their rights. on average, every week, they receive a new call for help.

this woman was helped by the network. we are calling her nok. so naive. but after moving to the uk, she says her husband became abusive. two months after arriving, she told him she wanted to go home.

when we contacted the police involved, they said they questioned nok and her husband and... they added that...

one day when he was out, she packed her bags and headed to the airport with her child. nok�*s child now lives with her ex—husband. she sees them a few times a month. the system's failed these women and i think that's quite alarming in itself. criminologist angela wilcock researches the lives of thai women in the uk. and i've been quite alarmed by the isolation for the women that i have spoken to. they fear they may be deported. they understand their role — their husband's partner sends money back to thailand for their family, and that would be cut off. that is a key issue in terms of coercive controlling behaviour. they need to have an understanding of their rights when they come, that they're not predominantly under the control of their husband.

dao met her british husband online. she was 28 when they started talking. but when they moved to the uk, her husband changed. she sobs

when their child was just six months old, dao reached her lowest point. dao tried to leave many times. she went back after husband promised to change, but she says he never did. with help from friends and several organisations, she finally left him.

the uk government told us they are committed to supporting all victims of domestic abuse, regardless of their immigration status. the thai embassy did not respond to our interview requests. man prays what lamduan�*s mother wants is for her daughter's body to be brought home to rest.

but authorities say her husband david hasn't given his approval for his wife's body to be returned. i have so many questions for mr armitage, and i have been calling him and writing to him but he hasn't responded.

so i have come to the university where he works, and here to meet him after class. mr armitage? yeah. i'm from the bbc. did you receive my letter? i'm still reviewing it, actually. yeah? yeah. we would like to talk to you about the death of your wife. yeah, 0k. can we talk about it, please? not at the moment. i'll get back to you. can we talk about it at your place, please? no, i can't. sorry. why didn't you report her missing to the police? i'll reply to your email, 0k? 0k. have you ever looked for her, sir? why didn't you talk to the uk police when they were here to investigate about the death, sir? mr armitage? yeah? did you kill your wife? mr armitage? i'll reply to your email. thank you. but why didn't you have her remains sent back?

what did you tell the children about their mum? excuse me. obstruction there. 0k. thank you. so now i'm going to wait and see if he can answer my letter. we did not receive any response. the uk police force on the case told us in a statement that... they also said that... ..to her parents. for now, it's buathong that visits her cousin's unnamed grave every year.

hello there. it's going to stay very unsettled across the uk as we head through this week with low pressure still very much in charge. so long spells of rain, heavy thundery, downpours, the winds are likely to pick up at times. and we'll also see on wednesday night into thursday, our third named storm of the season storm ciaran named by the met office on sunday. and those rainfall totals are really going to start to stack up again as we head through the next five days. you can see all the blues on our rainfall accumulation chart here. more wet weather for flood stricken areas such as eastern parts of scotland. now low pressure is centred out towards the west of ireland, just sending bands of showers swirling around. it should be a largely dry start to the day across scotland, but it is quite a chilly one and it's still quite breezy for many, particularly towards the channel coast. but the winds are certainly lightning as we head

throughout the day. now, the heaviest of the showers on monday will tend to be across northern ireland. we could start to see some localised flooding, maybe as those rainfall totals stack up. also we'll see some more heavy showers across west and wales, the south—west of england towards channel coast, just drifting further northwards and eastwards further east, largely dry. and for scotland, the lion's share of the sunshine north of the central belt, but here the air is going to feel chillier. now, on tuesday, again, scotland still a welcome respite from all of that rain. it should stay largely dry and sunny, a few isolated showers in the north. elsewhere out towards the west, we will see some showers and brighter spells and a warm front starts to creep into south—west wales and south—west england by the end of the day on tuesday, temperatures again 9 to 15 degrees celsius. now that warm front will track further north, west and eastwards as we head through tuesday night and into wednesday, bringing with it widespread heavy rain and some strong gusty winds as well. and some of that rain in the chillier air across the highlands

will be turning to snow. just take a look at that easterly wind piling, all of that rain onshore into aberdeenshire yet again. it's windy out towards the west here. further south, we're expecting some showers, temperatures again, 9 to 15 degrees. but of more concern than the weather on wednesday is going to be the weather on thursday. now, this is storm ciaran. it's a very deep area of low pressure. you can see the tight squeeze on the isobars here. gusts of wind towards channel coast on wednesday night and into thursday could get as high as perhaps 80 to 90 miles an hour, even inland 50 to 60 mile an hour gusts. there'll also be widespread heavy rain along with those damaging winds. so do keep an eye on the forecast. bye—bye for now.
