staff in a hospital in gaza city say it is impossible to evacuate, despite claims by the palestinian red crescent that they have been told by israel to do so. israel says it has expanded attacks in the gaza strip, hitting a further 600 hamas targets and claiming to have killed dozens of fighters. around 60 people have been arrested after a large mob, some shouting antisemitic slogans, stormed an airport in dagestan in russia. and tributes continue for matthew perry, one of the stars of the hit tv show friends, who's died at the age of 5a. hello and welcome. israel says its expanded ground and air operation has hit a further 600 hamas targets in gaza. the israeli defence forces say dozens of hamas fighters barricaded

in buildings and tunnels had been killed overnight. air strikes have included the area near the al-quds hospital in gaza city. medics say it's impossible to carry out the israeli order to evacuate. 0ur international editor 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's no food shortage in gaza. he's 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 patiently and staff ignored israel order to evacuate al-quds hospital, there was smoke as areas nearby were hit. a sense of grim

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 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. but 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. live now to dr 0mar abdel—mannan, paediatric neurologist who has worked in gaza and the west bank since 2011 as part of medical delegations carrying out training and surgery. he's also co—founder of gaza medic voices and has been in close contact with doctors in gaza since the fighting broke out three weeks ago. thank you so much forjoining us. what are you hearing from your

and completely devastated. they are working with an unthinkable burden on improper surgical conditions, and the who stipulates that if you want to perform surgery, you need to follow a very specific checklist. they are unable to do that. they are treating patients on the floor, they are amputating limbs without anaesthetic. they have said this is horrifying and inhumane, in their words, and the lack of medical supplies and the continual bombing of health care facilities or threats to health care facilities is essentially for then hell on earth as they have described it. you are describin: as they have described it. you are describing an _ as they have described it. you are describing an absolutely - as they have described it. you are| describing an absolutely harrowing picture of what patients are having to go through, but this is obviously taking its toll on the doctors as well. �* , ,., , taking its toll on the doctors as well. �* ,,., , ., taking its toll on the doctors as well. �* , ,., , ., ., taking its toll on the doctors as well. �* , , ., ., ., well. absolutely, and we have to remember _ well. absolutely, and we have to remember first _ well. absolutely, and we have to remember first of _ well. absolutely, and we have to remember first of all _ well. absolutely, and we have to remember first of all save - well. absolutely, and we have to remember first of all save the i remember first of all save the children came out today with a statement saying children have died in droves. in the last three weeks, more children have died in gaza are

in conflict than in any other conflict around the world in every year since 2019, and this is save the children quoting that. on top of that, health professionals are being targeted, and we have seen the deaths of over 35 health care professionals, medicalstudents, colleagues and friends of mine, people i have worked with and we have worked with, who have been targeted and their families have been wiped out. this is happening. you talk about targeted bombing of hamas terrorists. this is essentially targeted bombing of health care professionals and health care facilities. in any international court of law, there is a very clear guidance on warfare, which means you cannot target health care facilities. this is completely unacceptable. this is a new level thatis unacceptable. this is a new level that is unprecedented, and the israeli government has a lot to speakfor israeli government has a lot to speak for itself. find israeli government has a lot to speak for itself.— israeli government has a lot to speak for itself. and what is your reaction to _ speak for itself. and what is your reaction to what _ speak for itself. and what is your reaction to what some _ speak for itself. and what is your reaction to what some israeli - reaction to what some israeli officials have said, which is that hamas uses hospitals as a base? figs

hamas uses hospitals as a base? as far hamas uses hospitals as a base? is far as i'm concerned, i have never heard of this. i visited gaza on four or five separate occasions over the last 12 years. i have been into every one of those hospitals, the european hospital, the indonesian hospital, and in any of these hospitals, i have never heard or spoken to anyone who mentioned tunnels. we have been allowed access around the hospital, through every door, every operating theatre and we have never seen anything that amounts to this. i can't tell you for sure, amounts to this. i can't tell you forsure, i'm nota military specialist or a strategist, i cannot tell you for sure whether there are not tunnels, but what i can tell you as there a 70,000 patients and people sheltering in our hospital, these people are humans who are at risk of being bombed, they are told they need to evacuate which is frankly ludicrous when you have an ongoing war surrounding you, and we cannot in good conscience as the

western leaders, as the western governments, allow this excuse, this continual excuse of targeting of hospitals, of health care facilities. the israeli government has a track record of attacking schools, hospital buildings... we've not a tin schools, hospital buildings... we've got a tiny amount _ schools, hospital buildings... we've got a tiny amount of _ schools, hospital buildings... we've got a tiny amount of time, - schools, hospital buildings... we've got a tiny amount of time, and - schools, hospital buildings... we've got a tiny amount of time, and i - got a tiny amount of time, and i just want to ask you about the specific case of al-quds hospital, where doctors say israel is telling staff to evacuate. they say it is impossible, so ijust want staff to evacuate. they say it is impossible, so i just want to staff to evacuate. they say it is impossible, so ijust want to get your view on the logistics of being able to do that. it is your view on the logistics of being able to do that.— able to do that. it is nigh on impossible. _ able to do that. it is nigh on impossible, that _ able to do that. it is nigh on impossible, that is - able to do that. it is nigh on impossible, that is what - able to do that. it is nigh on impossible, that is what i i able to do that. it is nigh on. impossible, that is what i can able to do that. it is nigh on - impossible, that is what i can tell you from speaking to them on the ground. if they have any willpower to evacuate, they still wouldn't because they have hundreds of patients that are either ventilated or on haemodialysis or immobile. these doctors have taken the hippocratic oath to look after their patients to the best of their ability. in the eyes of many medical

professionals i know, that means you stick with their patients. they have said that they would rather die next to their patients then flee and leave them to die by themselves in complete silence whilst the world watches and doesn't do anything. a ceasefire is absolutely a must right now. humanitarian aid needs to enter. this must stop. how many more hospitals and how many more children does the west want to see die before we call an end to this?— we call an end to this? thank you so much for your— we call an end to this? thank you so much for your time _ we call an end to this? thank you so much for your time and _ we call an end to this? thank you so much for your time and for - we call an end to this? thank you so much for your time and forjoining . much for your time and forjoining us. meanwhile israel has urged russia to protect "all its citizens and alljews" after a large mob, some shouting antisemitic slogans, stormed a dagestan airport. video footage on social media showed an angry crowd running

through the airport in macatch—kala, reportedly looking for people arriving from tel aviv. live now to bbc monitoring's russia editor, vitaliy shevchenko. what can we confirm in terms of the details surrounding this? irate what can we confirm in terms of the details surrounding this?— details surrounding this? we are talkin: details surrounding this? we are talking about — details surrounding this? we are talking about hundreds - details surrounding this? we are talking about hundreds of- details surrounding this? we are. talking about hundreds of people, some of whom were shouting anti—semitic slogans. they stormed the main airport of this muslim dominated region of dagestan in russia last night amid rumours that refugees from israel were being repatriated and settled in russia. first they started checking people's passports, looking for israeli passports, looking for israeli passports and things got out of hand. they invaded the runway. there was a riot basically with people being blocked on board those arriving planes. the authorities in

russia say they have arrested about 60 people. 20 people suffered injuries and two people are said to be in hospital in a grave condition. and obviously what happened was triggered by the hamas israel war, and it's not an isolated incident. the day before, in another town in the same region, there was another rally that got out of hand, with people basically invading hotel amid rumours that there were jewish refugees there, and they were not there. and also, the the same region, there was a rally demanding

thatjews are being expelled from the region. so all this shows that anti—semitism is widespread in that part of russia. find anti-semitism is widespread in that part of russia-— part of russia. and what are the russian authorities _ part of russia. and what are the russian authorities doing - part of russia. and what are the russian authorities doing about| part of russia. and what are the i russian authorities doing about it? as we say, what we saw at the airport there is not an isolated incident. , ., ., , incident. they are doing very little, incident. they are doing very little. and — incident. they are doing very little, and there _ incident. they are doing very little, and there are - incident. they are doing very little, and there are forces . little, and there are forces criticising them for that. the local governor in dagestan, he called it a stab in the back of patriots, an outrageous act, but what has been happening in russia's north caucasus, i think it tells us something important about vladimir putin's russia. even though the russian president has in the past spoken out against xenophobia, and he never encouraged anti—semitism, the fact is that his rule is to a

large extent based on nationalism, dislike of outsiders and distrust of outsiders and foreigners such as ukrainians and the west who, according to kremlin —controlled media, are keen to destroy and dismember russia, and as these events in north caucasus have shown us, these feelings are not that different from anti—semitism, and so far, the kremlin has not commented on the riot, but the local ombudsman in dagestan, he condemned the riot as an illegal act, but he said the feelings of rioters are understandable, that is a quote, because as he said, they are

affected by the suffering in gaza, so it is a very tense, complex situation in russia's muslim dominated north caucasus region, where feelings are running high. vitaliy shevchenko from bbc monitoring, thank you. corporal punishment in kenyan schools was banned over 20 years ago. but a bbc investigation has found that school teachers are beating their students on a daily basis. and the consequences can be deadly. africa eye's tom 0dula reports, and a warning his report contains some distressing scenes from the start. reports of teachers beating their students in kenyan schools are on the rise. in some cases, children have died. this is a sport certificate. she was an athlete.

the autopsy report revealed that she had severe head injury. blunt force trauma. so somebody hit her to cause that kind of an injury leading to her death. martha's daughter ebbie died in 2019. her boarding school said she died in her sleep. but witnesses say she was beaten by the deputy principal. even with the autopsy results, it took several years to get the case properly investigated. they were trying to force me to believe that my child fell from a bed and that's why she died. in kenya, corporal punishment is an offence punishable under the prevention of torture act. yet according to media reports, more than 20 children have died at the hands of their teachers in the last five years alone. this i spoke to two other families whose children were severely beaten at school.

this is 16—year—old safin? do you remember what happened the day you got injured? we sat exams and i failed. that's why he beat us. he beat me on my waist and i got injured. safin had to be taken to hospital. the teacher, who denies the accusations, was transferred to another school. safin's family say they turned to the independent body responsible for teachers, the teachers service commission, but there was no support. 0n condition of anonymity, a source from the commission told me reports of the most severe school beatings have quadrupled in the last three years from seven to 29. it is becoming a crisis because we feel it's l going out of hand now. cases of children being injured and maimed, even death. i the tsc source told me rogue

teachers are protected at every level of kenyan society, with cases swept under the carpet. by the time the case reaches us, it is already totally diluted. - so much evidence has been corrupted. we put these claims to the tsc, but they did not respond. after four years of tireless campaigning by martha, in spring this year what could be the first ever prosecution of its kind. the school official accused of killing ebbie facing trialfor murder. she denies the charge, saying she wasn't at school when the incident happened. in the meantime, martha has vowed to keep fighting untiljustice is served for her daughter. tom 0dula, bbc news. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news.

you're live with bbc news. the israeli military says it has hit targets in syria and lebanon in response to rocket fire from those countries. these pictures are from northern israel and you can see the smoke rising from beyond the hill which is on the border with southern lebanon. israel says it has been striking targets belonging to the hezbollah group. concerns are growing about the regional fallout from israel's war on hamas in gaza. we spoke to our correspondent hugo bachega who is in tyre in southern lebanon and he told us more about what's been happening. iam here i am here in tyre in southern

the last few hours, there have been more positions that were hit by those israeli air strikes, and i think over the last few days we have seen that some positions deep inside lebanese territory have also been hit. at special church services, palestinians in the occupied west bank have been praying for peace in the gaza strip. many christians in the west bank have relatives and friends who are directly affected by the fighting. some were among the 18 killed just over a week ago when an israeli air strike hit an historic church where people had been sheltering. as our middle east correspondent yolande knell reports, there are now growing fears for the future of gaza's christian community. singing. a prayerfor peace... ..that isn't being answered so far. palestinian christians at bethlehem's nativity church say they feel solidarity with everyone suffering in gaza. all people are equal for us.

we live like brothers here, sisters here. we have to pray. we have to be one hand, one...one country with each other. not their problem, it's our problem — all of us. in gaza, it's over a week since an israeli air strike hit the compound of saint porphyrius — the site of one of the oldest churches in the world. israel says it was targeting a hamas command centre nearby. many of the 1,000 christians living in gaza were sheltering here. they were left feeling nowhere was safe. there was despair at a mass funeral outside the church. four of the 18 killed were small children. they were deeply mourned here, but also by relatives living in the west bank.

shireen lost her aunt. she says her family had stayed in gaza through successive wars. every time we ask them, "do you want to leave?" they would say, "no, this is our route, this is where we were born," and all these kinds of, you know, commitment to the land. but this time, they don't know if they want to stay — that is if they actually survive. just months ago in gaza, during the orthodox easter, saint porphyrius was packed with worshippers. christians here are deeply connected to their church. gaza is one of the oldest christian communities in the entire world. and of course we're concerned about every human lives, but after all is done, one of our biggest concerns and fears is that this long, long tradition of christian presence in gaza might come to an end. since the war, foreign pilgrims have deserted bethlehem, and decades of violence and occupation have already seen many christians leaving the holy land. now, on top of all the other human tragedies of the past three weeks,

some locals here are worried that there could be yet another loss — the last remaining christian community in gaza. yolande knell, bbc news, bethlehem. i will have your headlines on the top of the hour. i will leave you with live pictures looking into northern gaza from israel. stay with us here on bbc news. hello. no end in sight to the turbulent conditions we have been experiencing for the last few weeks and this week we have got another named storm with us, rattling in wednesday night into thursday, widespread heavy rainfall unwelcome, and it all comes courtesy of this deepening area of low pressure, interacting with a very strong jetstream overhead, so the exact position could change, and it will dictate where the strongest of the winds will be. but at this stage it looks like it is southern parts of england

and wales where we could see 50—60mph gusts inland, up to 90mph around coastal areas, even stronger over the open waters towards north—west france. and the rainfall totals totting up throughout the week, but especially for midweek onwards, the brightest colours, an indication that we could see over 100mm in northern ireland together with the risk of flooding. today, though, it is as you were in terms of quieter. sunshine and showers, some of the showers could be heavy, some flooding could be possible especially in northern ireland, cloudy here, southern scotland, northern england, to the north of that a bright day with some sunshine, isolated showers, to the south of that, a scattering of heavy, thundery showers in the afternoon with longer spells of thundery rain this evening in the south—east corner. tonight showers will be mainly focused towards the west of england, wales and especially eastern parts of northern ireland. dryer elsewhere and with clearer skies, northern half of scotland, cooler conditions, chance of some

frost to take us into tuesday morning. tuesday, another sunny day with isolated showers in northern scotland. southern scotland, northern ireland, northern england, occasional rain. drier further south but in the south—west we will see some longer spells of heavy, thundery rain coming into end the day. temperatures similar to today. and here is that area of rain pushing in which will sweep across all parts tuesday night into wednesday. on wednesday some of the most relentless rain will be across scotland, piling in across eastern scotland. some snow on the mountains. south of that, the showers will be moving through quite smartly on the breeze, some of them heavy thundery ahead of those stormy conditions we expect to see on wednesday night and into thursday.
