thank you forjoining us. israel says its forces are operating deep inside gaza city as his military operation against hamas by ground and air continues. this despite calls from the us president for a humanitarian pause to allow aid to reach civilians in gaza whether death has soared past 10,300, according to the hamas run health ministry. it has been one month since the attack that killed 11100 people. israelis lit candles and remembered those still in captivity and who died and more than 200 and thought to be held hostage inside gaza. earlier, benjamin netanyahu doubled down on his position that there will be no ceasefire until all hostages are released.

about what the post— conflict would look like and governance in gaza would look like. hamas cannot be part of that equation.— cannot be part of that euuation. a ,, , ., ., . equation. as us diplomatic efforts continue, _ equation. as us diplomatic efforts continue, the - equation. as us diplomatic. efforts continue, the fighting inside gaza rages, the israel defence force as chief spokesperson says 111,000 terror targets and 100 tunnel shafts have been destroyed in the past month but it does not mean that gaza city is on the verge of collapse. the city is considered one of the biggest strongholds for hamas, full of tunnels and bunkers and the israeli army will be finding in densely populated areas. we have more and some images in this report are disturbing. hamas released video of their men fighting on the streets of gaza. they know they can't win a pitched battle, so they're using hit and run tactics. that will intensify as israel's tanks and troops move deeper into gaza city. after an israeli strike in khan younis, southern gaza, they were digging

for survivors. the town is in the area israel has told palestinians to go to stay safe. but nowhere's safe. israel says this is self—defence. palestinians call it genocide. ahmed had 27 members of his family inside the house when it was hit. this is the bravery of the so—called israel. they show their might and power against civilians. babies inside, kids inside! and the elderly! it is the mighty vengeance promised by israel's prime minister when hamas attacked a month ago. in tel aviv, at the empty table set for the hostages in gaza, friends and families are mounting a 24—hour vigil. the national trauma israel suffered a month ago is not lessening. in fact, they're reassessing everything, notjust relations with the palestinians, but also with arab countries they thought they were getting closer to, and who are now condemning everything they're doing in gaza.

and there's the issue of the safety ofjews in places around the world where the palestinians get a lot of support. so even though israel is more secure than a month ago — many more people are out and about — a real sense of threat, notjust from gaza, remains. israel insists that force, not negotiations, will bring the hostages back. shani louk�*s family hoped she was a hostage until she was confirmed dead a week ago. friends filled her family home with her portraits. she was at the music festival that was attacked. we got this horrible video that was shown all over. a friend of ours sent it to us and he said, "i recognise shani. "this is shani on the pick—up truck." this is where she was face down? yes, she was in a weird position, looks unconscious,

blood on the head and people were — and the pick—up was driving inside the gaza strip and people were shouting and celebrating and spitting on her, and it was terrible, and we were just in shock. do you think israel's doing the right thing now? i don't know what in the end will be, because there are really many innocent civilians also there in gaza and they shouldn't suffer, but there needs to be something radical with the terrorists to be done, because if not, we will be back in this in the next few years. they will get the weapons again and they will train again. israel's pounding of gaza has not stopped. neither has its rage diminished. jeremy bowen, bbc news, in southern israel. all of this comes as diplomatic efforts to slow and stop the fighting continue. the white house released a statement saying that president biden told benjamin netanyahu a three day in writing could help

secure the release of some hostages. earlier, ispoke secure the release of some hostages. earlier, i spoke with a diplomatic correspondent. joe biden and antony blinken have spoken about the importance of getting american hostages out as one of their top priorities. clearly, a major part of american diplomacy over the past weeks have very much had that in mind. so far, the israeli position has been that the best way to put pressure on hamas, with regard to getting hostages out, is the application of military pressure, brute force. if this report is true, that suggests that washington does not necessarily share that view, that that is the best way to secure freedom for the hostages. indeed, there are people here, relatives, who had voiced the fear all along that as israeli troops go into gaza and into some of these built—up

areas, actually, it is placing their loved ones in greater danger, not less. speaking of the military pressure, the prime minister and the defence minister have been speaking about the state of israel's operation and circling gaza city. what more they set about the state are fighting right now? , ., ., ~ the state are fighting right now? , . . ~' , ., now? they are making some quite bold claims _ now? they are making some quite bold claims now, _ now? they are making some quite bold claims now, backed - now? they are making some quite bold claims now, backed up - now? they are making some quite bold claims now, backed up by - bold claims now, backed up by what we are seeing in terms of video evidence of israeli tanks and other armoured vehicles moving right down along the coast, by the edge of the centre of gaza city. we can say with absolute certainty that gazais with absolute certainty that gaza is surrounded. it is completely cut off from the south. what we think the israelis are doing is launching operations into, closer to the centre of the city, going after targets they regard as key hamas locations, they regard the whole city of gaza as a

major hamas stronghold. i think we will see these kinds of operations probably for some time to come, possibly even weeks because it's worth remembering, we're talking about gaza and a couple of associated or neighbouring refugee camps and other outlying areas. it could take quite a long time for the israelis to pacify that whole area. what they will have taken some heart from today is a site of hundreds, possibly even thousands of civilians, obeying their demand and moving along their demand and moving along the road, on footer sometimes with donkey carts, moving south away from gaza city.— away from gaza city. three quarters — away from gaza city. three quarters of _ away from gaza city. three quarters of gazans, - away from gaza city. three quarters of gazans, over i away from gaza city. three quarters of gazans, over 1| quarters of gazans, over1 million people, have now moved to the south after being warned from the military to leave homes in the north but earlier dozens were reportedly killed by airstrikes in southern cars and cities. the humanitarian situation is growing more

urgent by the hour. the international committee of the red cross says a humanitarian convoy delivering life—saving supplies of come under fire and gaza city. on tuesday, the who says doctors are performing amputations without anaesthesia with some hospitals out of fuel. all of these areas in the south, it is the area that israel has asked people to flee. today we are having more people coming from gaza city into the southern parts. in fact they were walking about five kilometres because the road leads to gaza city was damaged. i have met some people who were walking very long way to make it because there was no access to the road. 0ne to make it because there was no access to the road. one month

on, still hamas are able to fire rockets and firing at different fronts in the north—west and southwest of gaza where ground operations by israel have been expanding and areas around gaza city are tightening and humanitarian is catastrophic. i was talking to a father of nine people and the communication is very hard and we caught someone there and he said he had no food, money or water. there is no clean water because all of the eight coming from egypt, which is very little, according to the un, is not reaching those half a million people living in gaza city and in the north. in the south, the situation is not better. it is quieter, less airstrikes but they are struggling to find food and water and struggling for the hospital to find supplies. this is also continuing. in the us commerce intelligence chiefs

are saying there are increases in terror threat. i spoke to an expert at the house intelligence committee. chairman, you are raising the alarm about hamas inspired terror attacks on americans, why? terror attacks on americans, wh ? ., , ~ terror attacks on americans, wh ? . , ~' . why? last week, during the raid b an fbi why? last week, during the raid by an fbi in _ why? last week, during the raid by an fbi in front _ why? last week, during the raid by an fbi in front of— why? last week, during the raid by an fbi in front of the - by an fbi in front of the senate, it indicated the terror threat or the threat to the united states international terrorist groups organisations within the united states was higher than it has been for a decade. we received a briefing from the director today following up on comments, and it was very clear that the threat is imminent, emanating from individuals with affiliations with terror groups in the united states, some of which have come across the open border. in the fact that hezbollah, hamas and even isis have called for attacks, he is raising the alarm from not only with in the united states but

also americans abroad and they are also targets and the increased threat also. we know that iran backed _ increased threat also. we know that iran backed groups - increased threat also. we know that iran backed groups in - that iran backed groups in syria and iraq have attacked us troop positions but hamas itself has not stated an aim to attack in us. is there intelligence linking hamas to the threat you are mentioning? hamas has indicated they believe people should undertake attacks and identified by the united states and israel and european interests that support israel. those types of calls are certainly of concern but there is also, the director has raised this, of individuals who are followers of the groups or organisations, hamas, hezbollah, isis, who are either finding inspiration in the attacks they have undertaken, looking to them specifically for directions and or may be in touch with these organisations.

you mentioned the border, and last week the director did not specifically mention the border so is there intelligence on this as well?— so is there intelligence on this as well? ~ , ,., , ., this as well? absolutely and we asked him _ this as well? absolutely and we asked him specifically - this as well? absolutely and we asked him specifically about. asked him specifically about that today in an un— classified session and he said that individuals have been taking advantage of the open border and there is a crisis clearly entering into the united states, posing a threat to, and increased threat, in part because of their belief ties to terrorist groups or organisations. i think that was important for him to make the connection because it gives us some understanding that these are individuals, we don't know where they are, we have no information about them entering the united states and they pose an ongoing and current risk. what should be done about this? we spoke to the director about that and he certainly is being more diligent, looking for these individuals, trying to find their ties and communications with outside groups to work their ability to undertake terrorist attacks.

since 9/11, the fbi has been doing an excellentjob of tracking individuals down and trying to thwart what they may perpetrate. from the border itself, it certainly, we have to look too, close the border? get control over who was coming across it? but as a director said, working cooperatively between the fbi and homeland security on locating individuals and homeland security on locating individuals importing attempts to undertake access is very important. to undertake access is very important-— to undertake access is very imortant. ~ ., ., ., ., important. want to ask about the strength _ important. want to ask about the strength of— important. want to ask about the strength of hamas - important. want to ask about the strength of hamas itself, | the strength of hamas itself, we spoke to senator chris murphy about israel's operations in gaza to uproot hamas and he says he is worried about the way that israel is bumming gaza at the moment could lead to militancy. this is what he said. it could lead to militancy. this is what he said.— is what he said. it is very difficult _ is what he said. it is very difficult to _ is what he said. it is very difficult to eliminate - is what he said. it is very difficult to eliminate the | difficult to eliminate the terrorist group through military means, only if this violence _ military means, only if this violence inside gaza ends up with— violence inside gaza ends up with young men inside gaza that are on_ with young men inside gaza that are on the — with young men inside gaza that are on the sidelines previously joining — are on the sidelines previously

joining the militancy, that could _ joining the militancy, that could be a lasting problem for whatever government replaces hamas — whatever government replaces hamas. ~ ., , ., whatever government replaces hamas. . , ., hamas. what is a response to that? it is certainly a concern that you can have this circular process, that others could be emboldened by that but at the same time when you have a situation where hamas is bent on the destruction of israel where they have killed over 1000 innocent israelis by going into israel and viciously murdering them, you have to go in and take over the structure of hamas or terra structure. we saw it with isis when they occupied iraq was not with al-qaeda when they were occupying afghanistan. so even though it doesn't change the environment completely, their ability to undertake terrorist attacks and to effectuate the terror can be diminished. share terror can be diminished. are ou terror can be diminished. are you concerned _ terror can be diminished. are you concerned that israel's operations at the moment could inspire more who were angered

by israel's actions. the thousands _ by israel's actions. the thousands of _ by israel's actions. the thousands of rockets i by israel's actions. the i thousands of rockets they by israel's actions. tie: thousands of rockets they have been shooting into israel, israel has used iron dome to respond, to make sure those missiles don't actually kill their intended targets. they remain and continue throughout, i think israel does have to rise to the opportunity to diminish hamas's ability, to threaten israel, or we're never going to get to the point where we have a negotiated peace. always reaches big with you, thank you so much. —— always great to speak with you, thank you so much. let's take a look at some other stories now. britain's king charles has delivered his first king speech to parliament. the traditional address is traditionally of great pomp and ceremony but also political. it outlines the government's priorities for the year ahead and is drafted by the government. they put the economy and law at the centre of a dress and here is what the

whether the right to bear arms which prohibits... the magic of users —— the us versus brahimi comes 17 months after the... inaudible. the historical precedents test has caused confusion where some have invalidated widely accepted gun restrictions. us versus raheem e gives the court its first opportunity to clarify how lower courts should apply that reasoning and it could have wide reaching implications beyond domestic abuse cases. 0utside beyond domestic abuse cases. outside the court, about 250 people rallied for gun safety and domestic violence prevention. the court case comes as the us continues to grapple with the rise in mass shootings, including the most recent in lewiston, maine. a ruling in the gun restrictions case is not expected untiljune of next year but let's talk about the implications with amy howe, a reporter at scotus mac.

scotus. we talked a little bit about how what this is about but can you explain? this about how what this is about but can you explain? this was a chance but can you explain? this was a change when — but can you explain? this was a change when the _ but can you explain? this was a change when the justices - change when the justices enshrined this in the decision in a case called new york state rifle and pistol association versus bruin back in 2022 and the justice versus bruin back in 2022 and thejustice said in versus bruin back in 2022 and the justice said in that case that courts should only uphold gun restrictions if you can point to a history or tradition of similar gun regulations in early us history and of course in early us history there were very few gun restrictions and so the question that the lower courts have struggled with is how do you know whether a current gun restriction is sufficiently similar to something that might�*ve in early us history to pass constitutional lustre and that is what led to the case that was before the supreme court

today, the us court of appeals for the fifth circuit which sits in louisiana said that the federal government in defending this law which prohibits someone who is the subject of a domestic violence restraining orderfrom having a gun couldn't point two an analogous restriction in early us history and therefore the law could not stand and the biden administration said well of course, you can't look at something that specific a level because in early us history, domestic violence wasn't regarded as a problem, certainly you have to look at a higher level of generality, you have to look at whether or not they were laws which designed people that were considered dangerous and they were at the time. ., ., , ., ,, time. that does make it extremely _ time. that does make it extremely complex, - time. that does make it | extremely complex, what time. that does make it - extremely complex, what you just explain. looking at the oral arguments doesn't look like the justices oral arguments doesn't look like thejustices are oral arguments doesn't look like the justices are living one way or the other? it did seem from _ one way or the other? it did seem from the _ one way or the other? it did seem from the oral - one way or the other? it did i

seem from the oral arguments that there was a majority that was willing to uphold the law. the majority was warily of the implications of up holding the fifth circuit�*s ruling because not only striking down this law which is obvious the very important for protecting victims of domestic violence what it would mean for other gun restrictions stop it is not entirely clear what else they are going to say that is going to help lower courts apply this test... , , test... let me 'ust “ump in there because h test... let mejust “ump in there because you b test... let mejustjump in there because you said - test... let mejustjump in j there because you said the president... this is in portent. what precedent with this ruling set?— portent. what precedent with this ruling set? what we don't know and _ this ruling set? what we don't know and may _ this ruling set? what we don't know and may not _ this ruling set? what we don't know and may not know- this ruling set? what we don't know and may not know until| this ruling set? what we don't i know and may not know until we see the opinion is if they can uphold this law and say that in early us history there was a tradition of disarming people who were considered dangerous and so therefore, under this law, people who are considered to be dangerous or subject to these domestic violence restraining orders can be disarmed but the question is what does this mean for other

laws? people charged with felonies, for example, drug addictions, that would also have implications for them. this could come back to the supreme court and the question is will the justices be able to agree among themselves to say anything else beyond what they said in 2022 in the ruin case, to further eliminate this question, that is really the $64,000 question. extremely com - lex $64,000 question. extremely complex and _ $64,000 question. extremely complex and very _ $64,000 question. extremely complex and very important . $64,000 question. extremelyj complex and very important in the precedent it could set. what else could you say to look out for in this?— out for in this? certainly we are watching _ out for in this? certainly we are watching questions - are watching questions involving social media. a couple of challenges to the constitutionality of laws in florida and texas that seek to regulate how larger social media companies can regulate the content on their sites and there is another case involving there is another case involving the biden administration and its efforts to communicate with

and some strong, gusty winds as that front clears through as well. so this is how we're starting off wednesday morning. it's a chilly, possibly frosty start for eastern scotland, rain for western scotland down through north west england, much of wales and the south west of england. but starting to clear away from northern ireland and as the cold front on that very well defined back edge clears through, there'll be some strong gusty winds on this rain, particularly towards the south coast. the rain lingering on for parts of south east england and east anglia until possibly after dark and also turning very wet across shetland towards the end of the day as well. some sunshine behind our weather fronts and also some blustery showers possibly turning a little wintry over at the tops of the hills. so that area of low pressure, the weather fronts clear away to be followed by another one that's again, pushing in from the west. it will be moving further eastwards throughout the day. again, giving rise to some blustery showers through the day on thursday. it won't be raining all the time. there will be a brisk southwesterly wind pushing some of those showers across england and wales. also for scotland, some blustery showers, but lots of dry weather here, too.

temperatures starting to feel a little cooler, 8 to 11 degrees celsius. now that low clears away and behind it will draw in more of a northerly to northwesterly wind. so by the time we get to friday, it's going to be feeling significantly colder for most of us. again, some showers, but fewer of them mostly concentrated again out towards the north and the west. so parts of north west scotland down through western wales, the further south and east you are generally the drier your day is going to be. temperatures again only peaking between 8—12 celsius. now, as we head into the weekend, fog and frost could become little more of a problem. the winds will be lighter, the air masses colder as well. but there'll also be some sunshine, particularly on saturday. so for armistice day on saturday, then it does look largely dry across the uk. it will be feeling really quite cool. there'll be some sunshine and light winds, but there could be some rain arriving in the south and the west for remembrance sunday. bye— bye.
