i'm mariko oi. the headlines — health workers report shelling near the al quds hospital in gaza hours after israel gives an order to evacuate. the palestine red crescent says it's requested urgent clarification. this decision affects the lives of 40,000 people and our patients. they are putting us in a corner. we do not know what to do. 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 — tributes continue to pour in for the actor matthew perry,

who has died at the age of 54. hi there, thank you for being with us. we begin with the latest on the israel—gaza war because a key hospital in gaza city has been told by israel to evacuate, according to the palestine red crescent, which warned that 400 patients and 14,000 displaced people were sheltering there. israel hasn't confirmed the order but a military spokesperson said that they had killed what he called "dozens "of terrorists" during bombing of the territory, including senior commanders of hamas — which is designated a terrorist organisation by the uk, us and other governments. the red crescent director says

the area around the al quds hospital has been under attack, causing panic. 0ur reporter has given us an update on the situation. it's quieter in khan yunis compared with previous days but in gaza, al-quds hospital, run by the palestinian icrc, is making headlines night as isrtael is pushing hard to the hospital. hundreds of air strikes in the last couple of days but today they are very close, shops were destroyed, israel is pushing hard towards the hospital, huge smoke and dust affecting the people, 14,000 people trapped inside the hospital. they are taking the hospital. they are taking the hospital as a refuge fleeing from the shelling around that place. the director of the hospital said they have

received four calls, the last one was tonight from the israeli army asking the people inside the hospital to leave, 14,000 people and 100 patients, eight of them in the intensive care unit, they said it is almost impossible to leave the hospital. i almost impossible to leave the hos - ital. almost impossible to leave the hosital. , , ., ~ ., hospital. i will speak to the director-general— hospital. i will speak to the director-general of - hospital. i will speak to the director-general of the - hospital. i will speak to the director-general of the red | director—general of the red crescent society. he told us there had been a series of strikes in the area. {131 there had been a series of strikes in the area. of course we are worried, _ strikes in the area. of course we are worried, the - strikes in the area. of course we are worried, the rockets l we are worried, the rockets will destroy the hospital and will destroy the hospital and will kill with 14,000 people inside the hospital it will be a massacre we are afraid, we are horrified by the potential that this could really happen and we do not know what to do. we are calling upon the international community to put pressure on israel to rescind this order and respect the medical mission of the palestine red cross and

society. palestine red cross and society-— society. further south thousands _ society. further south thousands of - society. further south thousands of people | society. further south - thousands of people broke into in a depot taking flower and basic supplies after an israeli blockade severely limited amounts into gaza. jeremy bowen is in southern israel and sent this report. people are living in the ruins in gaza. the israelis insist that they hit hamas targets, who use civilians as human shields. america said it has sent israel another reminder that hamas are legitimate military targets, and civilians are not. in gaza, the un fears civil order is breaking down. its food warehouses in the south were looted. the desperation comes from israel's siege, which the un says violates the laws of war because it's a collective punishment of civilians. thousands of people ransacked the warehouses.

israel says there is no food shortage in gaza. he is saying, "we have no flour, no water, not even toilets. 0ur houses were destroyed, no—one cares about us. we appeal to the people of the world, the big powers are against us. we need aid. we wouldn't have done this if we weren't in need." translation: we need fresh water. we need food. we are starving. this is totally unfair. our children can't sleep. further north in gaza city, after patients and staff refused israel's order to evacuate al-quds hospital, the wards filled with smoke as buildings nearby were hit. only a few miles away, in sderot, the closest israeli town to gaza, a sense of grim determination has replaced the panic of the first few days after the hamas attacks. eyal hajbi, sderot�*s head

of security, said his nephew and some of his team were killed by hamas. a visiting general, nimrod aloni, was greeted like a man back from the dead. 0n the 7th of october, hamas made the false claim that they had captured aloni and taken him into gaza. hajbi said they were all still trying to process the horror of what happened. the security chief took me on a tour of sderot�*s defences. hamas, he said, had hit them hard. the equation had to change, and if palestinian civilians suffered, it was not israel's fault. translation: we allowed them to come and work in israel, and we thought this would help the ordinary people of gaza. we thought a good economy would bring some peace. but now we know that only security brings peace. after 20 rounds of war with hamas and islamichhad, this needs to be

a story that ends here. 0ur eyes were closed, he said, and we lost everything. israel's dead are still being identified. hajbi says he can't face any more funerals. night and day, israel's ground war to destroy hamas gathers pace. it is reverberating around the region. the risks of a wider middle east war remain. jeremy bowen, bbc news in southern israel. besides the thousands of people sheltering in the al quds hospital hospital there are many more displays and living in tents in the territory of gaza. as we heard they are struggling to find water, food and bathrooms and there is very little medication for those who need it. our special correspondent has been speaking to some of those trapped in gaza. a warning his report contains some distressing

images. in the bombed districts of gaza... shouting and screaming ..it seems as if the world is broken. a trauma shared across generations. women cries "my daughter, my daughter," a voice calls out. children caught in an escalating war. the israelis say they're targeting hamas, the killers of their citizens. explosion in these densely packed areas, civilian casualties are mounting. "i was about to do my afternoon prayers," he says, "and suddenly the missile

fell on our house." men shout they've known war 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, mahmoud, how are you? hello. mahmoud bassam is one of the journalists inside gaza reporting the tragedy for the bbc. his images, a daily record of a people's agony. he said that as hard as things are and as much as he tried to deliver the message he's trying to deliver, sometimes from behind the camera he would stand and cry and the only thing that he would do isjust being silent. 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've reached a state where we wish we'd died under the rubble, just to find some rest. our life is torture. we wait in line for three hours to use the 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's catastrophic. the questions accumulate. the war offers only pain in reply. fergal keane, bbc news, jerusalem. paul adams is also injerusalem and has this assessment of

today's developments. 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's 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 is able to move forward and tackle some of the targets that it has clearly set 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're 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. this evening following a conversation betweenjoe biden conversation between joe biden and conversation betweenjoe biden and benjamin netanyahu american jewels are saying the american president has urged the israeli leader to permit the amount of aid permitted to enter the gaza strip possibly to the region of 100 trucks, that would 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 you in warehouses, trying to find what food they can in a kind of breaking down of law and order. paul adams reporting there. let's speak now tojean—loup samaan, from the middle east institute of the national university of singapore. he told me of the danger of regional escalation.- he told me of the danger of regional escalation. what we have seen —

regional escalation. what we have seen in _ regional escalation. what we have seen in the _ regional escalation. what we have seen in the last - regional escalation. what we have seen in the last three i have seen in the last three days a shift with limited ground incursion of the israeli defence forces and at the same time intensification of the airstrike. the problem is mentioned in your coverage, is this creates, this exacerbates the humanitarian crisis, the key question is how long do we see that strategy sustainable because the key aspect is how much the us can support israel against the increasing recrimination from the international community. it's very hard to see how that military strategy at the moment can achieve its end goal, which is to destroy hamas, which is extremely maximalist to goal while supporting the amount of casualties we have seen over the last three weeks. we have also seen _ the last three weeks. we have also seen clashes _ the last three weeks. we have also seen clashes between - also seen clashes between hezbollah and israeli forces on

the 11 on board how do you assess the possible danger of regional escalation here? it is a big risk- _ regional escalation here? it is a big risk. for— regional escalation here? it is a big risk. for the _ regional escalation here? it 3 a big risk. forthe past regional escalation here? it 3 a big risk. for the past three years, if we want to be realistic and optimistic, there has been mostly tit—for—tat actions, skirmishes at the border between hezbollah and israel, we are talking about exchange of fire, some very limited on the ground action, but so far, it seems that both sides do not want to escalate into a full—scale conflict. it does not mean that we cannot see in coming days, either a change if hezbollah considers that it cannot stand cannot, cannotjust that it cannot stand cannot, cannot just stand that it cannot stand cannot, cannotjust stand by that it cannot stand cannot, cannot just stand by from the attack on hamas or escalation by accident stop there is a big risk of having action that leads unintentionally to further escalation between both

sides. as i see the risk is high but let us hope that as we have seen over the last three weeks, there is some element of i would not say restraint, but careful intention not to escalate too much. calls for a ceasefire _ escalate too much. calls for a ceasefire have _ escalate too much. calls for a ceasefire have been - escalate too much. calls for a ceasefire have been growing. escalate too much. calls for a l ceasefire have been growing in an emergency meeting of the un security council called, and the previous meeting they did not vote for it, is there a chance of deescalation, let alone a ceasefire? i chance of deescalation, let alone a ceasefire?- chance of deescalation, let alone a ceasefire? i would say not at the _ alone a ceasefire? i would say not at the moment, _ not at the moment, unfortunately if you look at the speech benjamin netanyahu gave, clearly what he is conveying is that strategy for the moment is emphasising security, military objectives. again, the key will be how much the us can sustain its own support to the operation because in coming days, if we

see the ground invasion, ground intervention from the israeli defence forces intensifying, very likely this will lead also to an increase of human casualties, civilian casualties. so, at the moment, today we do not see at least in the case of the un in breakthrough, may be something that could change if we see some changes, some progress on theissue some changes, some progress on the issue of the hostages. again over the last three days there has not been what we expected, as much on that front, we were talking last week about a potential wave of release of hostages but that did not materialise over the weekend, so again, unfortunately we do not have at the moment apart from potential us pressures on the israel, we do not have any element that would lead to a deescalation.

lizo mzimba has more details. 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. laughter. well, what did the police say? i'm sorry, we don't have your sheep. no, homo habilis was erect. australopithecus was never fully erect. well, maybe he was nervous. 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. oh, we go way back before monica made an honest man out of him... among those paying tribute have been maggie wheeler, who played janice, a previous girlfriend of chandler's. she said: 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 thanjust friends, but chandler bing

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, too. 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 lightening 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, some more heavy showers across western wales, the southwest of england towards channel coast, too, 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, some brighter spells and a warm front starts to creep into southwest wales and south—west england by the end of the day on tuesday. temperatures again 9—15 degrees celsius. now, that warm front will track further northwards 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—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 coasts on wednesday night and into thursday could get as high as perhaps 80—90 miles an hour, even inland 50—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.
