it comes as israel's military says its jets carried out an attack near a refugee camp in northern gaza. ukrainian children forced to leave their homes near the front line begin to arrive in safer parts of the country. and, as the uk hosts the world's first ai safety summit, researchers say artificial intelligence is nearly twice as accurate at detecting a rare form of cancer. hello, i'm sally bundock. a very warm welcome. we start with news of growing reports that the rafah border crossing in southern gaza may open soon to allow wounded palestinians to get treatment in egypt. the uk's foreign office said the reports were credible and had informed the estimated 200 britons who are trapped in gaza.

the us state department said real progress had also been made in negotiations to open the border to foreign nationals. we are also hearing reports from gaza's largest telecommunications provider saying that all communications and internet services have again been cut off. that news comes as israel confirmed that it carried out an air strike near the jabalia refugee camp in northern gaza. the hamas—run health ministry and a hospital director say at least 50 people were killed israel says its strike killed a senior hamas commander and caused the collapse of hamas underground infrastructure. bbc verify have located the exact position of the blast which you can see here — and you can see how built up it is. more now from our international editor jeremy bowen. and a warning, his report contains images some

may find distressing. israel says the destruction came from air strikes that killed a senior hamas commander and some of his men. it said hamas was using these civilians as human shields in a cruel and brutal manner and that the air strikes caused the collapse of underground hamas bunkers. israel ordered civilians to leave this area. many did. many others did not. the un said some people even returned to their homes because conditions further south were so desperate. an unknown number of people are buried under the rubble. they were pulling out children. he says, "oh, god, my three children are gone. "three kids. "i hope i can find one of them alive. "i didn't bid them farewell."

jabalia camp coversjust over half a square mile. 116,000 refugees were registered here with the un before the war. he says, "it's a massacre. "30 to a0 homes blown to pieces, bodies everywhere. "everyone's looking for their beloved ones." the local hospital was overwhelmed with casualties. the surgical director sent the bbc this video. he said they'd done 15 to 20 amputations. patients, he said, arrived packed into ambulances with the wounded alongside the dead. dr elron told me around 120 dead from this afternoon's

attack are at the hospital. they ran out of space inside the building. hamas released these pictures of their men emerging from part of their extensive tunnel network. it's hard to work out with any precision what's happening in the ground war. both sides claim to have killed their enemies. hamas will try to use hit—and—run guerrilla tactics against a much more powerful army. israel released these pictures. it seems clear they're pressing forward. some reports say they're closer to gaza city without entering it yet. moving through relatively open villages is much less of a military challenge than advancing into a city. on their side of the gaza border, israel has plenty of force in reserve and, it says, a long fight ahead. we don't have much detail about what the israelis are doing inside gaza.

they are working very hard to control the information battlefield, which is a big part of modern war. they are releasing some video and some generalized communiques about success, but they are minimising access. jabalia will fuel the controversy about killing palestinian civilians — unintentional casualties, israel says, in a just war. america warned israel not to be blinded by rage. and palestinians believe israel is inflicting another catastrophe on them. jeremy bowen, bbc news, southern israel. lets bring you some breaking news — we're getting reports that the israeli military has said nine soldiers had died in gaza fighting, without immediately providing details on where or when.

that is just being reported now, quoting the israeli military saying that nine soldiers have died. with me in the studio my colleague said shehata from bbc arabic. if we start with this news that today the rafah crossing could be opened to let the seriously injured in. this would be the first time since it has started that people would be able to get out? that people would be able to net out? , ., ., , get out? the first time to open today since _ get out? the first time to open today since the _ get out? the first time to open today since the seventh - get out? the first time to open today since the seventh of- today since the seventh of october. it was confirmed 0ctober. it was confirmed yesterday on a channel in egypt, which is close to the state, and confirmed two other sources in egypt that it was open to admit or receive

severely injured palestinians and a ready preparation close to the border as the prime minister visited there and preparation there to receive them. this could be the first of more severely injured palestinians to come to asia because the pressure is too much. there are more than 21,000 injured and the hospital in gaza face problems. the stash the hospitals. they are running out of fuel, the medical team, so what is egypt doing with co—ordination with their israel and the united states, is to put less pressure on the palestinian because of the killing, children and women, so it is a breakthrough. it will help and i think it is

to make it clear that this does not mean... to make it clear that this does not mean- - -— to make it clear that this does not mean... there is a limit to this. absolutely. _ not mean... there is a limit to this. absolutely. there - not mean. .. there is a limit to this. absolutely. there is- not mean... there is a limit to | this. absolutely. there is much -ressure this. absolutely. there is much pressure but — this. absolutely. there is much pressure but egypt _ this. absolutely. there is much pressure but egypt is _ this. absolutely. there is much pressure but egypt is firm... i pressure but egypt is firm... this is not about palestinians leaving gaza.— this is not about palestinians leaving gaza. absolutely. it is only about — leaving gaza. absolutely. it is only about injured. _ leaving gaza. absolutely. it is only about injured. and - leaving gaza. absolutely. it is. only about injured. and foreign only about in'ured. and foreign nationals of— only about injured. and foreign nationals of which _ only about injured. and foreign nationals of which there - only about injured. and foreign nationals of which there are - nationals of which there are many, the could be an opening for them possibly?— for them possibly? there are some negotiations _ for them possibly? there are some negotiations going - for them possibly? there are some negotiations going on. for them possibly? there are i some negotiations going on on the british, american side with egyptian authorities and with hamas. it is not in the interest of hamas to keep them especially as hamas have announced they are willing to release the foreign hostages they got on the seventh of october. they are willing to do 0ctober. they are willing to do that so i think they're to do

that so i think they're to do that to win support with whatever they want to achieve. all mobile internet communications are down in gaza again. this has severe consequences for everyone operating in gaza but also all the international aid organisations trying to co—ordinate and communicate with the people on the ground. it has happened before. there was a blackout and the international organisations working to help politicians who are suffering could not communicate, ambulances cannot be reached. they could not receive phone calls. even the food programmes, even delivering food for people so people were looting because people were looting because people were looting because people were starving. they would do anything to have food. many consequences on people. what is the reaction been in the arab world, in the social

media and arab present to the huge strike onjabalia? huge strike on jabalia? condemnation huge strike onjabalia? condemnation all over the board. the secretary general of is inaudible that it should be stopped. king abdullah received a call from president biden. the king repeated that a two state solution and a palestinian state with jerusalem as a capital is the only solution for the conflict and to avoid a repeat of this conflict happening.- and to avoid a repeat of this conflict happening. thank you aaain for conflict happening. thank you again for keeping _ conflict happening. thank you again for keeping us - conflict happening. thank you i again for keeping us up-to-date again for keeping us up—to—date with what has been going on in the last few hours. the israeli president isaac herzog has strongly defended israel's military operations in gaza, insisting it was doing its best to limit

civilian casualties. he said israel had to target hamas infrastructure, including homes, because hamas was using them to launch rockets into israel. israel is coming under mounting international criticism because of the rising number of civilian deaths in gaza and a growing humanitarian crisis. president herzog was speaking to our chief international correspondent lyse doucet injerusalem. i find my role first and foremost as strengthening my nation. my nation is in deep agony. the people of israel is in deep agony and expected agony, unprecedented agony. we're mourning. we're bereaved. we're mind boggled. we're a different nation in many respects, at least at this given moment. these atrocities disseminated also to the national psyche.

how can anybody accept these atrocities? where many of those who are killed, tortured, abducted and burned, literally burnt as families burned with barbed wires and guns around them, were the biggest supporters of peace ever in this country? two weeks ago, you said that there were no innocent civilians in gaza. you said an entire nation out there is responsible. do you still say that? because that was quoted, of course, did not complete the entire statement of mine. and i also clarified it in other channels. i said the following — i said that, of course, there are civilians who are innocent in gaza. but on the other hand, let's just look at the exact picture. if you had in your living room or in your kitchen or in your basement, in your shop missiles but huge missiles, missiles that can fly 200 kilometres,

missiles that fly on us to kill us, what am i supposed to do? i have to eradicate the infrastructure that launches the missiles. that's your home. i have to ask you to move out. we're operating according to the rules of international law to ask people to move out to a safe zone. we gave them a lot. we're helping them to move out and we've arranged a lot of humanitarian aid. we are cooperating with the united states, with the authorities, we are supplying humanitarian aid, we are doing our best to move civilians to move south. than the army goes in, fights and cleans up the place from hamas and then they will be able to go back and perhaps there will be a future for the palestinian people without this atrocious regime in the saga. without this atrocious regime in the saga-— without this atrocious regime inthesaua. _ , in the saga. the news yesterday that a soldier _

than 30 towns and villages last week as shelling and fighting intensified in parts of the donetsk and kherson regions. jenny hill went to meet some of the families who've fled from the east of the country where russia has launched renewed offensives in recent weeks. the full weight of russian aggression continues to bear down on this country. the conflict are seemingly endless, more victims every day. more refugees as well. these families whether homes near the front line after the government ordered them to get their children to safety. no—one knows when, if they will ever return. lives packed into bags, remotely, for the most precious of belongings. safe now, but look at the shop on their faces. they are here with their mum who told us their dad had

ct scan to check she is still cancer free. she was diagnosed with a sarcoma, a soft tissue cancer of the back of her abdomen last year. it was successfully removed. now a team at the marleston and institute of cancer research have developed an ai algorithm which is nearly twice as accurate as tissue biopsies but assessing these rare cancers. ai has already shown itself to be as good as the best doctors individually reading patient images like mammograms, but this goes much further. producing data which can't be distinguished by the human eye. the artificial intelligence algorithm was used to assess sarcomas from 89 patients in hospitals in europe and the us. ai accurately created the aggressiveness of tumours 80% of the time, compared with 44% per biopsies. of the time, compared with 4496 per biopsies-—

particularly through wednesday night into thursday thanks to storm ciaran — this storm named by the met office. it will bring widespread heavy rain, but in the south of the uk and the channel islands, there is the threat of damaging winds. on our earlier satellite image, you can see that storm just beginning to develop, this hook appearing in the cloud. that's an area of low pressure that is deepening, and will continue to deepen as it pushes in our direction. in the short term, this frontal system pushing its way north—eastwards through wednesday. that's going to bring some outbreaks of pretty heavy rain, some squally, gusty winds across the south—east corner first thing as this band of showers works its way eastwards. a band of heavy rain pushing out of northern ireland and northern england and then up across scotland, briefly some snow over high ground in northern scotland, then turning back to rain, windy in the north and in the west of scotland. sunshine and showers developing for northern ireland, england and wales. temperatures of 7—14 degrees in most places. and then, as we head into the evening and overnight, this is where storm ciaran starts

to make its move. very heavy rain swinging its way across the south of the uk and some really strong winds. see the isobars here on our pressure chart really squeezing together. there a met office amber warnings that have been issued for parts of southwest wales, more especially south west england, and then along the english channel coast and up into parts of east anglia. inland gusts of around 70 mph. coastal parts likely to see gusts of 70—80 mph. and not covered by met office weather warnings, but the channel islands could see the worst of the weather — gusts here could well touch 90 mph. with those strong winds, some very heavy rain across many parts of england, wales, southern and eastern scotland, perhaps fringing into northern ireland as we go through the day on thursday, and temperature—wise, ten, 11, 12 degrees. so that rain could cause some issues with flooding, those strong winds bring the risk of damage and disruption. and our area of low pressure will still be with us

as we move on into friday, weakening as it goes, so the winds should ease just a little. but it does remain very unsettled with more rain as we head into the weekend.
