8:35 pm
you thank you. i want to bring you some breaking news because what were talking we were getting some details about our murder investigation launched. some breaking news from here in the uk — a murder investigation has been launched after a 15—year—old boy was stabbed near a school in leeds, west yorkshire. emergency services were called to town street in horsforth, near st margaret's primary school, just before three o'clcok this afternoon. the boy, a former student at nearby horsforth school, later died in hospital. police say two teenage boys have been arrested over the incident. we will keep across that and bring you details that come to us. sport and for a full round—up, from the bbc sport centre, here's gavin. it's a huge night of champions league action across europe, with qualification for the knockout phase, at stake for some. barcelona missed out on becoming the first side to make the last 16 — they were beaten 1—0 by shakhtar donetsk. that was one of the earlier kick offs — another of those saw dortmund again get the better of newcastle.
8:36 pm
in the same group, psg can put themselves in an even stronger position — they're 1—1 with milan. about half an hour gone there. manchester city the holders, can seal their spot later if they beat young boys. erling haaland started for them, and scored a penalty — 1—0 at the etihad. celtic are 1—0 down to atletico madrid. to an absolute thriller at the cricket world cup now — where a spectacular double century from glenn maxwell saw australia clinch their spot in the semifinals. they beat afghanistan, but it really was the maxwell show in mumbai, his flurry of sixes sealing an incredible fightback for the aussies. it all began brightly for afghanistan, setting their opponents 292 to win. ibrahim zadran with a slice of history of his own, his hundred their first in a world cup. they were cruising in their hunt for australian wickets. naveen ul—haq getting the better of travis head and mitchell marsh, which had australia five wickets down and floundering, but maxwell had other ideas — arriving at the crease after australia slumped to 91—7.
8:37 pm
he inspired australia with his 201 not out as australia chased down the target to win by three wickets. his team—mates in awe of his performance. i think that's the greatest odi innings i've ever seen. it's probably the greatest odi innings ever. we were just chatting about it, we all said it's one of those days where you say, "i was there in the stadium that day maxwell chased down that total by himself". yeah, i'm sure he will be fine. i think you saw out there how much he loves playing for australia and he will do anything to play so i am sure he will be fine. and that's all the sport for now. thank you. if you are listening to our discussion with the three mothers in the studio, you know we were talking about what happens after the conflict, and interview
8:38 pm
benjamin netanyahu gave to abc news and went he said israeli troops would probably need to be in gaza indefinitely to ensure israel's security. some reaction from the white house let's bring in our correspondent and colleague. barb put pressure. what is the white house saying about what mr netanyahu told abc news and do they supported? the white house and state department say the us does not support reoccupation of gaza, that palestinians should be the one who determined what it looks like the day after. the issue here is that israelis have been telling americans they don't want to reoccupy gaza and as i said the us strongly supports that so they are trying to figure out what history netanyahu means by an indefinite period of being in
8:39 pm
charge of overall security. it is not the first time they have spoken about a new security regime but permission is scarce stop what you haveis permission is scarce stop what you have is repeating the us policy, you've that from secretary of state antony blinken, in testimony to the senate he said the day after, or if israel manages to oust, ask for power in gaza, there should not be a long—term israeli occupation of gaza nor any return to hamas governing gaza, in between there are permutations, it would make more sense for it revitalise palestinian authority to take control. that is completed because the palestinian president said he would not go into gaza on the back of an israeli tanks, and the fact that she's not very popular right now because he's weakened, in effect, and the fact that the palestinian authority has
8:40 pm
recognised israel to try to work toward a two state solution for years, so it's quite completed. antony blinken said maybe other countries in the region or international agencies could step into the gap, again that would be an issueif into the gap, again that would be an issue if israel feels it addresses the security, also, other countries in the region, arab countries, are not speaking about as it currently and what they are calling for a cease—fire in the current conflict, but not what will come at the day after. so, it's a matter of state the parameters of what the us would like to see, and being conscious of other factors in between like to see, and being conscious of otherfactors in between determining how this will play out. we other factors in between determining how this will play out.— how this will play out. we might ick how this will play out. we might -ick that how this will play out. we might pick that up _ how this will play out. we might pick that up with _ how this will play out. we might pick that up with mark _ how this will play out. we might l pick that up with mark regev who how this will play out. we might - pick that up with mark regev who is standing by, just on the humanitarian pause thatjoe biden is pushing for, it seems to me that john kirby or the white house doesn't think there is not enough aid going in despite the lack of a
8:41 pm
humanitarian crisis that the israeli government seems to be talking about. . . . , government seems to be talking about. . .. , ., government seems to be talking about. . , . . about. the americans have also been ve clear about. the americans have also been very clear about _ about. the americans have also been very clear about this, _ about. the americans have also been very clear about this, they _ about. the americans have also been very clear about this, they have - very clear about this, they have worked hard to get that stream of eight in to gaza as it exists, but they also say and agree with you and a few shows that the humanitarian aid is not enough, hence the idea of aid is not enough, hence the idea of a humanitarian pause, to which mr netanyahu responded somewhat, and said they could have an hour here or there to make it more efficient. the americans have never spelled out what they mean by a pause, humanitarian officials want something long enough to make a significant difference in terms of aid but the us agrees with israel in terms of not calling for a cease—fire, saying that would only benefit hamas, but officials at the un are calling for a cease—fire. thank you barbara for the update, we would speak to mark regev who is
8:42 pm
waiting for us but a quick break before that. around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news. bringing you different stories from across the uk. villagers who gathered to meet their mp in a pub car park in nottinghamshire havejust found out about the latest proposal for a solar park. the great north road scheme plans battery storage for the grid and a chain of what is called solar islands linked by underground cables serving the village. the majority of the community is not against solar but i think the dimension of this project is so huge and vast. the proposals cover dozens of villages, thousands of acres and will have a profound impact on landscape and quality of life of people living in this area. the company behind the plan says if it goes ahead they will pay £1 million a year to projects suggested by the community. this is just the start of a consultation which really gets going next year, and a nationally significant infrastructure projects with the final decision made by the secretary of state for energy.
8:43 pm
for more stories across the uk, head to the bbc news website. you're live with bbc news. live now to mark regev, senior adviser to israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu. good to see you and thank you for coming on the programme will stop you would've heard barbara speaking from washington and the reaction from washington and the reaction from the white house to what is really by minister benjamin netanyahu said on the abc interview, that israelis would need an indefinite occupation to secure gaza to stop what do you have in mind question went you have to listen carefully to what the prime minister actually said. he carefully to what the prime minister actually said-— actually said. he spoke about his security present, _ actually said. he spoke about his security present, and _ actually said. he spoke about his security present, and ongoing i security present, and ongoing security present, and ongoing security present, and ongoing security present, he didn't say occupation, or political control. it is important to distinguish between
8:44 pm
political control and security. from our perspective, we want to see guys that governs itself when it is over, and we want to see a post hamas demilitarised gaza and the only thing is we want to vent it resurgent hamas coming back. controlled by who? you heard mahmoud abbas said he's not going to write into gaza on the back of an israeli tank. ~ . into gaza on the back of an israeli tank. . . , . . tank. we are in the stand are familiar with _ tank. we are in the stand are familiar with his _ tank. we are in the stand are familiar with his perspective, j tank. we are in the stand arel familiar with his perspective, i won't go into specifics about who would be in charge, i'm only thing is really is not interested in ruling over positivist indians in gaza, wejust ruling over positivist indians in gaza, we just want to ensure we don't have another october and seventh massacre, we have to protect our people, and for the time being there has to be some sort of israeli security present manatt permanent underground, fluid, forces going out
8:45 pm
and in when needed. the goal is that this is when it's over, once again, a demilitarised post — hamas gaza, and effort from those in the region to reestablish a society there, we want to see gaza succeeds and i gaza that lives in peace with israel. the palestinian — that lives in peace with israel. the palestinian authority said the israeli government is exploiting the preoccupation with the war in gaza to take new church is underground. by to take new church is underground. by the sins of been displaced in areas since october seven. are you doing enough to rein in extremist elements in the west bank? anyone who takes the _ elements in the west bank? anyone who takes the law _ elements in the west bank? anyone who takes the law into _ elements in the west bank? anyone who takes the law into their - elements in the west bank? anyone who takes the law into their hands, l who takes the law into their hands, and a vigilante, we condemn it. share and a vigilante, we condemn it. are ou and a vigilante, we condemn it. are you stopping it? the _ and a vigilante, we condemn it. are you stopping it? the police - and a vigilante, we condemn it. are you stopping it? the police are - you stopping it? the police are auoin to you stopping it? the police are going to arrest _ you stopping it? the police are going to arrest such _ you stopping it? the police are
8:46 pm
going to arrest such people. it| you stopping it? the police are i going to arrest such people. it is you stopping it? the police are . going to arrest such people. it is a month since the october seven horrific massacre of our people and in that month the palestinian authority has consistently refused until today to condemn the brutal slaughter of israeli civilians. i think they have lost credibility in israel across the political spectrum, the palestinian authority needs to think carefully about its credibility among the israeli public. it has not condemned the hamas slaughter. what sort of peace partner are you? i get hamas slaughter. what sort of peace partner are you?— partner are you? i get that mark but the question — partner are you? i get that mark but the question i— partner are you? i get that mark but the question i asked _ partner are you? i get that mark but the question i asked you _ partner are you? i get that mark but the question i asked you is - partner are you? i get that mark but the question i asked you is what - partner are you? i get that mark but the question i asked you is what is l the question i asked you is what is the question i asked you is what is the israeli government doing to raining settlers who were raining fire on palestinians in the west bank was marked i will repeat what i said, we condemn any such violence and we calling the people to the
8:47 pm
police to arrest those people, if they break the law they should be punished appropriately. sb clear here, if one talks about violence on the west bank, it's notjust the extremist, and is not all the settlers, most are law—abiding citizens, but the extremist we oppose them, what does the palestinian authority do to stop violence on its side coming towards us? theirfailure to condemn violence on its side coming towards us? their failure to condemn the hamas actions is deafening. the prime minister _ hamas actions is deafening. the prime minister is sent out a tweet naming the intelligence evidences for what happened on october seven, then deleted the message and apologised, that suggests that he takes sponsor boutique for what happened? in takes sponsor boutique for what ha--ened? “ takes sponsor boutique for what happened?— takes sponsor boutique for what ha--ened? “ happened? in the abc interview when he talked about _ happened? in the abc interview when he talked about a _ happened? in the abc interview when he talked about a residual _ happened? in the abc interview when he talked about a residual security - he talked about a residual security presence, he addressed that issue
8:48 pm
directly, he says he knows he is number one in the system, he is the prime minister and is where the buck stops, and he says that when it is over, everyone with the asking questions and held accountable, including himself will stop it is clear, there was a terrible failure, they took us by surprise, no warning, feel or number two, how did it cross the fence in massive numbers and massacre our people? and feeler number three, why did it take us so long to eliminate the threat and neutralise the terrorists are the border?— and neutralise the terrorists are the border? 76% of israelis, in a playwright _ the border? 76% of israelis, in a playwright today. _ the border? 7696 of israelis, in a playwright today, wanting - the border? 7696 of israelis, in a playwright today, wanting to - the border? 7696 of israelis, in a playwright today, wanting to go | playwright today, wanting to go before i let you go, we had a heart—wrenching testimony from three mothers in the studio tonight, why are you not in constant competition with these families question mark they have no eyed liaison, why? we
8:49 pm
have a they have no eyed liaison, why? a have a special official established to deal with that and that is very important, we wanted feel their pain and suffering, and were making a maximum effort to get out their loved ones will stop and it has to be said hamas is holding 240 people, 30 of them children all of those children, a baby of nine months old, children, a baby of nine months old, children under the age of three, what sort of barbarians can kidnap babies and infants westmark it should be clear what israel is dealing with. the hamas people were fighting, oh the post was all, and when is russ we will defeat and destroy and dismantle hamas, we are not only doing ourselves a failure in this threat to the israeli public and families who won't have to worry about terrorists coming across and butchering their children, but it
8:50 pm
should also be good for the people of gaza who certainly deserve better. hamas have been in charge fori6 better. hamas have been in charge for 16 years and what have they brought? only pain, suffering and punishment, and when hamas go will be betterfor israel, the palestinians and everyone. we be better for israel, the palestinians and everyone. we will aet more palestinians and everyone. we will get more reactions _ palestinians and everyone. we will get more reactions that _ palestinians and everyone. we will get more reactions that coming . palestinians and everyone. we will get more reactions that coming upj get more reactions that coming up thank you for coming on the programme, mark. joining us in ramallah is nour odeh, a palestinian political analyst and activist. she was first ever female government spokesperson to the palestinian authority. maybe to get your reaction to that and what marcus said regarding to hamas in gaza to buy the sins deserve better?— hamas in gaza to buy the sins deserve better? hard to follow his lo . ic but it deserve better? hard to follow his logic but it is _ deserve better? hard to follow his logic but it is difficult _ deserve better? hard to follow his logic but it is difficult to _ deserve better? hard to follow his logic but it is difficult to listen - logic but it is difficult to listen to an israeli official saying we
8:51 pm
need to kill more than 10,000 of you because that would be better for you. that's how it comes across to a palestinian air, which is objectionable. there other avenues and ways were israel to make peace, and ways were israel to make peace, and the palestinians it has been holding captive for 56 years. this government has refused that, the government has refused that, the government mark regev represents, came together on a programme that rejects the notion of palestinian statehood. so, again, is as difficult to find any logical reasoning acceptable for what is going on right now. this industrial scale slaughter of civilians in gaza. . , ., , gaza. he did deflect, your rights, on the issues _ gaza. he did deflect, your rights, on the issues in _ gaza. he did deflect, your rights, on the issues in the _ gaza. he did deflect, your rights, on the issues in the west - gaza. he did deflect, your rights, on the issues in the west bank, | gaza. he did deflect, your rights, i on the issues in the west bank, and onceit on the issues in the west bank, and once it is those, there has been a

rise in secular violence and the white house has spoken about it and are concerned, what has it been like in the west bank since october at seven? b. in the west bank since october at seven? �* . in the west bank since october at seven? . . , .. , seven? a nightmare because the israeli army _ seven? a nightmare because the israeli army has _ seven? a nightmare because the israeli army has fragmented - seven? a nightmare because the israeli army has fragmented the | seven? a nightmare because the - israeli army has fragmented the west bank movement has been difficult, it disrupts education, work, it disrupts education, work, it disrupts every aspect of life including the movement of goods from one palestinian city to another, which has to go through israeli checkpoints, israeli commercial checkpoints. another thing that is a nightmare, really, and a deadly 1am are the israeli settlers, they are not fringe and extremist, they are in government and few in power and emboldened and are attacking palestinian communities, shooting at will knowing there'll be no accountability. the lack of an indictment for these settlers is
8:53 pm
well documented by human rights organisations, so i won't get into it, but i will tell you right now if you can avoid its if you are up palestinian, you don't leave the place where you live, even if it means it might cost you yourjob. university students have gone online because it is simply too dangerous to move around between cities and get to the universities. that is how real this increased tension is. it is a real these dangers are. a good percentage of all casualties in the west bank happened in the past month 60%. the west bank happened in the past month 6096. , ., ., . , 6096. the israeli finance minister said today he _ 6096. the israeli finance minister said today he wanted _ 6096. the israeli finance minister said today he wanted security - 6096. the israeli finance minister. said today he wanted security zones establish around the illegal israeli settlements, and the norwegian consul said it would prevent listings from freely moving and
8:54 pm
increased the risk of force this placement. can i get your thoughts on what benjamin netanyahu said to abc, that there would have to be israelis indefinitely in control in gaza, and control of the security situation, what would fill the political vacuum if that came to pass? political vacuum if that came to ass? ., ., �* “ pass? nothing, i don't think the olitical pass? nothing, i don't think the political vacuum _ pass? nothing, i don't think the political vacuum is _ pass? nothing, i don't think the political vacuum is of— pass? nothing, i don't think the political vacuum is of concern i pass? nothing, i don't think the political vacuum is of concern to netanyahu, and i'm not sure he has a clear ending, to be honest with you. i think all of us have been following the reports and leaks here and there, especially in american media about very concerned us administration officials trying to push netanyahu to tell them, at least, what's he intends to do. the only thing he is clear about is that he wants to stay in power for as long as possible, avoid accountability for as long as

political reaction today to the benjamin netanyahu interview, the white house today in piru as well, sent representatives to speak to the lebanese side. also, speaking about ukraine and what is happening there, and a set of the war there and the kings speech here in the uk, important day for the prime minister rishi sunak. all that to come, stay with us. hello there. we've had good spells of sunshine today, a few rainbows close to the scattered showers which are now tending to ease away ahead of this mass of cloud. our next weather fronts and the attendant low pressure, which will bring all parts some wetter weather through tonight and into tomorrow and for a time, for a couple of hours, some strong winds, possibly gales in places. so the showers should continue to ease through the rest of this evening. temperatures fall away. touch of frost developing across the glens of scotland, and then the rain arrives in northern ireland before midnight crossing to scotland, wales and western england as we go

through the small hours of wednesday morning, finally reaching southern and eastern areas towards dawn. so, eventually, temperatures rise again after that early dip. so, some quite miserable conditions for the morning rush across scotland, england and wales in particular. as well as the heavy rain, there'll be a spell of strong winds, hill fog as well. behind it, brighter skies follow quite quickly in northern ireland and then to scotland, much of england and wales through the afternoon, the rainjust drags its heels in southern and eastern areas. now, some showers will follow and they will be heavy. could be the odd rumble of thunder, wintry over the hills. it will feel a bit cooler with some blustery winds as well. but of course, the concern is with another 20—30 millimetres of rain or an inch thereabouts, we could see the current flood warning levels starting to rise once again. now, as we go through thursday, that weather front moves out the way and then this area of low pressure moves lots of showers across our shores. so, it looks as if in southern parts with the strong winds, they'll move through quite briskly, but they'll still be heavy. that could become slow moving
