as well, and that again, we don't see a reoccupation. and the fury of what is happening in gaza as well as his roast crackdown on militants here... it's a dangerous moment. meanwhile, ivanka trump — daughter of the former us president donald trump — has been testifying at her father's civil fraud trial. hello, — welcome to verified live, three hours of breaking stories, and checking out the truth behind them. the israeli military says its forces

have reached the centre of gaza city and have destroyed more than a hundred entrances to a vast network of hamas tunnels. a spokesman said israel had also captured about 4,000 weapons — including rockets hidden in civilian infrastructure — and killed a major hamas arms manufacturer. hamas health officials say more than 10,500 people have been killed since the conflict began in gaza, nearly half of them children. israel has repeatedly warned palestinians to head south to greater safety, despite also bombarding that region. thousands of palestinian residents of gaza city are fleeing as israeli troops tighten their grip on the area. the israeli army released video showing a long line of people on foot, many of them waving white flags, some holding their hands in the air. explosions can be heard in the background. the us secretary of state has outlined what should happen when the fighting stops. antony blinken said gaza and the west bank should both be

governed by the palestinian authority. he told a meeting of g7 foreign ministers that there should be no israeli occupation of gaza. the deputy leader of lebanon's hezbollah group, which is backed by iran, has praised last month's attack by hamas which sparked the fighting. hezbollah�*s deputy chief told the bbc the killings were an act of resistance. 1,400 people were killed, most of them civilians. we begin our coverage this hour with this report from our middle east correspondent yolande knell. for the first time, israeli forces are giving some journalists a glimpse of how gaza now looks. this footage is from the bbc�*s us partner, cbs. in the very north of the strip, it's hard to believe these were palestinian homes just a month ago. i know that the military objective is to destroy hamas... mm—hm. ..but you destroyed everything.

yeah, because, look, hamas is using infrastructure. i mean, just ten minutes ago, we had a serious battle with a group of hamas inside a school. missiles are said to have been fired from here, and these pictures show how far israeli forces are advancing in their mission to destroy hamas. this tank appears to be deep in gaza city. nearby, many thousands of civilians are continuing to shelter at the shifa hospital. doctors here deny israel's claim that the building's secretly used by hamas. but as israeli forces move in, there's been a new exodus from northern gaza to the south. although it's been declared a safe route, many carry white flags. we are civilian people. we want to live in our land, with peace, but nobody in the world let us to leave. in lebanon, where events in gaza are being closely

watched, there was more cross—border fighting overnight. here, israel says it's attacking its powerful enemy, hezbollah, and its leaders tell the bbc the war could yet spread. translation: the danger is real, because israel is increasing - its aggression against civilians and killing more women and children. is it possible for this to continue and increase, without bringing real danger to the region? i think not. such threats worry the international community. today, g7 foreign ministers backed a pause in fighting to get aid into gaza. and the us has been giving assurances about the post—war future. the united states believes key element should include no forcible displacement of palestinians from gaza. not now, not after the war. no use of gaza as a platform for

terrorism or other violent attacks. no reoccupation of gaza after the conflict ends. but for now, the fierce battles go on. israel pledges to annihilate hamas, hamas says that no force on earth can do that. many more difficult days lie ahead. yolande knell, bbc news, jerusalem. 0ur correspondent in gaza rushdi abulaouf has this update on the bombing campaign. yeah, let's start from here, as like 10—12 minutes ago, there was a huge air strike here in khan yunis, close to close to the hospitals. shrapnels were flying to the courtyard of this nasser hospital. this is the second—largest medical centre in gaza — now it's the biggest medical centre that's serving almost half of the population. in khan yunis, we noticed today for the last 4—5 hours at least, air strikes in khan yunis — but in gaza city and the north, where israel is fighting

in eight different battles, we understand the biggest one is northwest and southwest. fighting will continue — not as intense as yesterday, but fighting will continue there. we have seen footage of air strikes and exchange of fire in some of the blazes overnight. we have about a0 people at least killed, some say 50 — still no official figure from the palestinian health ministry here in gaza about the number of people killed overnight. but, yes, we have air strikes in central gaza, in the city, in the area that israel asked 1.2 million people to flee. in khan yunis, here in rafah, we have air strikes and also intense air strikes in gaza city. today, it was an eastern part of gaza city, in a neighbourhood where people are talking about many people are trapped under their houses. as you know, getting information is really hard, and verifying information is really hard, given the communication difficulties.

but the situation in gaza city, where about half million people, we believe, there they are struggling to find food, they are struggling to find clean water. and here, it's the same. but here, some of the aid that's come from egypt in the last ten days is reaching this area. it's considered a drop in the ocean, but it is reaching some of the people here in khan yunis. but in gaza city, the situation is really at the edge of catastrophic, as the local authority here and the un talks about shortage of fuel, shortage of water, and shortage of food. live now tojon donnison, injenin,

in the occupied west bank. i have been covering the west bank for a few years and i've never seen detention like it is now. there is a real fear of the war could spread. the united nations say that in the last month, 150 palestinians have been killed in the west bank, the majority of them civilians, 44 children, three israelis also killed. we have raids on the camp behind me injanine while we have been staying here and while i've been staying here and while i've been travelling across the west bank to assess the mood and i should warn you my report contained some distressing images. gunfire. this war is not only being fought in gaza. gunfire continues. this funeral, in the west bank town of tulkarem, forfour gunmen killed by israel this week.

there's anger and defiance. but also grief... ..and fear of what's to come. even before the war, the west bank was at boiling point. and the fury of what's happening in gaza, as well as israel's cracked down on militants here, as well as civilians has seen the temperature rise to a whole new level. gunfire. it's a dangerous moment. "we have been refugees in this camp for 75 years," says this 82—year—old. "everyone hasjust been laughing at us." there's stress on the people. they cut the streets, cut the cities, kill people, kill children. everything is stress. does it feel like war here, as well? maybe. maybe in two months, they'll have to withstand war over here in the west bank, with gaza.

it's connected. there is no gaza in the west bank. and in parts of the west bank over the last month, it's already looked like war. israel, it says, targeting terrorists, including from hamas, who are fighting back. and israel has been using bulldozers to rip up the streets, it says, as punishment for palestinian attacks. "they came and destroyed the camp, and then, they came "again with bulldozers," he tells us. "it's always like this." israeli raids of palestinian towns and villages are happening night and day. this boy was just 15 when he was shot dead

by an israeli soldier, as his sister looked on in horror. the un says the majority of palestinians being killed in the west bank are civilians, including children. and they are suffering notjust at the hands of the israeli army, but also armed jewish settlers — in attacks like this last month, which left the victim still in intensive care. in the background, an israeli soldier looks on. palestinians say israel allows settlers to act like a militia with impunity. in this case, the army says it's investigating what happened. and for some, it's become too much. mohammed khaled's family has farmed this land in the occupied west bank for generations. but this week, they were packing up to leave. translation: we have lost our land | because we couldn't confront them. | we escaped out of fear. no one was there to protect us. land has always been at the heart of this decades—long conflict. and palestinians are losing.

jon donnison, bbc news, in the west bank. so, you get a sense they are of the frustration, the anger, and the fair that people are feeling here in the west bank. ,., that people are feeling here in the west bank-— west bank. report in there, what are --eole west bank. report in there, what are peeple where — west bank. report in there, what are peeple where you _ west bank. report in there, what are people where you are _ west bank. report in there, what are people where you are in _ west bank. report in there, what are people where you are in the - west bank. report in there, what are people where you are in the west - people where you are in the west bank saying about the attacks on the 7th of october was to mark is interesting because over the years the fight or run palestinian authority and i must have been divided in power, but on this the factions are very united. they don't want to talk too much about hamas attack on october seven they want to talk about the suffering and loss of lives in gaza. i asked a few people

were there they agreed with what hamas had done on october seven, and frankly, lots of them were in denial, refusing to accept despite the evidence israel has presented that hamas was prepared to murder women and children, civilians, among the 1400 people killed on that day. jon donnison live injenin, thank you for the report. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. let's look at some other stories making news. a 15—year—old old boy who died after being stabbing near a school in leeds has been publicly named as alfie lewis. emergency services were called to the incident in horsforth on tuesday. alfie, a former student at horsforth school, later died in hospital and police opened a murder investigation. a teenage boy has been arrested. possession of nitrous oxide has become a criminal offence in the uk. now categorised as a class c drug, possession of nitrous oxide —

which is also known as laughing gas for its "psychoactive effects" — will carry a sentence of up to two years in prison. the government says the ban will combat anti—social behaviour and reduce damage to users' health. fans of the caramel bar caramac have been left "devastated" after nestle confirmed it is discontinuing the sweet. nestle said it was "a difficult decision," but pointed to slower sales in recent years. caramac was launched more than 60 years ago, quickly gaining popularity thanks to its distinctive red and yellow wrapper and caramel flavour. you're live with bbc news. as we've been reporting, palestinians are continuing to flee from northern gaza — but are they getting out? bbc verify has been looking at the latest video and satellite images from the area to get a clearer picture. merlyn thomas from the team is in the verify hub with more.

israel has been ordering civilians in northern gaza to move south for their safety as they continue their offensive in the north. but what does that mean for the civilians of gaza? it's one of the most densely populated areas in the world. there were over1 million people in the northern part before this conflict started. and the israeli military have been telling people to move south down this road, salahadin road, it's one of the two main arteries connecting the north to the south. and we've seen them doing this. these are people who are moving down that road, as you can see, carrying white flags. these are children, men, women walking down this road, fleeing from the north, carrying all the possessions that they have. now, this footage was filmed by the afp news agency on monday. they spoke to one of the gazans on the road about her experience. translation: it was so scary. we saw tanks from both sides. we didn't see soldiers, just tanks. we held our hands up and we kept walking. there were so many of us. we were holding white flags.

it's true that we were scared, but finally we made it through. so how has the israeli military been telling people to move to the south? these are pictures of one of the mass drops of leaflets over northern gaza. now, these white specks here, you can see those leaflets dropping to the ground. these have messages urging people to move to the south for their own safety. they've also been posting on x. for example, today the israeli military posted in arabic that the main road here we've just been talking about would be open between 10am and 3pm local time. yesterday, the israeli military posted a video on x showing civilians walking down salah al—din road. and we've just paused a frame here so you can see an israeli tank in the foreground. now, using the shape of the buildings and the composition of the road, we've managed to verify this location is approximately three kilometres north of wadi gaza. the israelis consider this to be

the boundary between the north and the south of gaza. we've also found this satellite imagery taken yesterday showing the exact same stretch of road. and if you look closely here, you can see the outlines of people on the road moving down the road. and if you look elsewhere in this picture, you can see signs of damage to the buildings and the debris that spilt out onto the road. this is what those people would have had to cross. and finally, you can see here, if you look closely, right next to the road, this is an israeli tank here too, which these people will have had to walk past. we've also been analysing satellite imagery. now, these satellite images are captures on 31st october and 3rd november. now, using both of these, we've assessed the amount of damage to the road and to the buildings around it. so every single drop here you can see represents damage of some kind to the road. so, craters on the tarmac of the road or building damage close to the road. but we can't tell exactly

when this damage occurred. but let's take a closer look at two of these. so we're going to take a closer look at those two points. this is one of them. if you look here, you can see a crater on the main road itself. and i'm going to show you the second point here. these are buildings which have been destroyed and some of the debris has scattered onto the road itself. we don't know how many people have used this road to move to safety. the un suggested that thousands have moved on a single day. but the question remains as the fighting continues in the north, how many more desperate people will make this choice? some breaking news on a related story, we were talking about concerns from the government over a planned protest, a pro—palestinian march set to take place this

weekend, and we had been reporting the metropolitan police commissioner said it would go ahead, and that is despite concerns from the prime minister, and we have now heard that rishi sunak has had a meeting with sir mark rowley, i need statement has been issued to stop the statement from downing street said" this week and people are on the uk will come together in quiet reflection to remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice for the country, because that sacrifice is so immense that saturday's planned protest, and the work of downing street, is notjust disrespectful to the heartfelt gratitude for the memory of those who give so much so we can live in freedom and peace today to stop it's as part of that freedom is the right to peacefully protest, and that test to freedom is whether we can survive the discomfort of those even if we disagree with them. it says a lot

this afternoon, rishi sunak met with sir mark rowley, the met office police commissioner, in downing street, and the prime minister ask them to provide reassurances that them to provide reassurances that the police are taking every step necessary to safeguard services, provide reassurances to those who wish to pay respects across the country, and keep the public safe from disorder. the statement continues to say it's welcome that the police have confirmed the march will be away from certain areas and will be away from certain areas and will not conflict with any remembrance events, there it remained those who seek to divide society and use this week and as a platform to do so, and it was discussed in the meeting with the police commissioner, this would be under constant review given that latest intelligence regarding the nature of the process. what michael is statement there and what we would

take away from it is that the march, the pro—palestinian march set for november 11, the pro—palestinian march set for november11, on the pro—palestinian march set for november 11, on remembrance day, will go ahead, and the meeting between the prime minister and the metropolitan police commissioner confirms that is the case. we would have more on that story later in the programme. back to the humanitarian station situation in gaza. i spoke to hannah bond — deputy director of advocacy at international charity, actionaid uk, which works in the gaza strip on the temporary safe corridor. aid is absolutely essential in gaza at the moment. as you said, 569 trucks have gone in so far. there, prior to the 7th of october, were 500 a day. so we've kind of seen in a month what we previously were seeing per day. so it's absolutely essential that that gets in. people need food, they need fuel, they need water in order to survive, and, of course, medicalsupplies,

because the bombardment has been so significant that all of those things are absolutely necessary and they need not only to get in, but to be able to get across the gaza strip. and hannah, what are your colleagues on the ground saying to you and how are they doing as well? yeah. so we have both colleagues and partner organisations in gaza. communication is really difficult. some days, you know, it is very much about their safety, of course. people's survival is absolutely essential at the moment. so those supplies that i already mentioned around water and fuel and food are in really, really desperate supply now. we're seeing dehydration. we're seeing malnutrition. and, you know, you imagine if that was your children or your family in desperate need for water, in desperate need for food, and thatjust not coming in and not coming in at the sufficient levels. and of course, there's so many needs that you have

described there, hannah. what are the priorities in terms of what you would load onto a truck that is waiting to get in from the rafah crossing into gaza ? fuel is absolutely essential. so no fuel has gone in yet whatsoever on any of those trucks that we've already spoken about. fuel is important, of course, for bakeries, bakeries are a cornerstone of palestinian life. they need to be able to run, and they need fuel to run, you need fuel to cook from, but also you need fuel to run hospitals. hospitals, 16 hospitals have already closed and other hospitals are on the brink of closure, warning that that could happen at any minute. you know, you need that for incubators for example. imagine if you have a small baby who needs critical care and the fuel just isn't there. you know, doctors are literally operating under the light of a phone in order to do really, really well, really, really needed operations. and that fuel is absolutely essential. but it has to go alongside water,

it has to go alongside food, and it needs to go alongside medical supplies. the latest on the aid concerns in gaza. and some news coming into us from the reuters news agencies mark within what it describes as the palestinian interior ministry said in 19 people killed in an israeli air strike near in 19 people killed in an israeli airstrike neara in 19 people killed in an israeli air strike near a hospital in gaza is in your body at refugee camp. that is from the reuters new news agency quoting the palestinian interior ministry. we will bring you more on that story as and when we get it. quickly moving to a story coming out of new york. ivanka trump, daughter of the former us president donald trump, is testifying at her father's civil fraud trial. here she is, arriving at the court in new york.

mr trump is accused of inflating the value of his assets by more than $2 billion. ivanka trump is the final family member and witness to testify before the prosecution rests its case. ifi if i could from is not a test witness in the case which the trial focuses on charges of falsification of business records, of business records, insurance fraud and conspiracy. hello. today brought us a more scenes that we've become very familiar with. lots of cloud, outbreaks of rain, some big puddles around. but the rain did clear to a mix of sunshine and showers. there were some brighter conditions to be had. sunshine and showers continuing to be the story as we move through the next couple of days. lots of showers out there through tonight, all driven around an area of low pressure. this band of showers moving south eastwards across england and wales, then lots more showers blowing in towards the west. some of these could be heavy with some hail and some thunder. mostly, it will be too breezy for a frost. we mayjust get down to freezing across some parts

of northern scotland. so into tomorrow, the showers focusing in on those areas exposed to the westerly wind. so western england, wales, northern ireland, south west scotland, whereas for eastern parts of england and for northern scotland there'll be fewer showers, more dry weather and some spells of sunshine. but it is going to be really quite windy around some southern and western coasts of wales, southern england, the channel islands, gusts of 40—50 miles per hour and temperatures a couple of degrees down on where they have been for many of us, 8—to 11 degrees. now through thursday night and into friday, this area of low pressure wobbles its way eastwards. we'll see this little weather system here diving down across wales and southern england that will bring some rain to start the day on friday. some strong winds, too, through south west england and the channel islands. but generally, as the winds go more northerly in direction, well, that will bring more showers into northern parts of northern ireland, northern and eastern scotland, eastern england and fewer showers across the west and the southwest of the uk. temperatures again 7—12 degrees.

0ur area of low pressure continues its journey eastward, so much so that on saturday morning we should be in a gap between where the systems. between weather systems. could be some frost and fog around to start armistice day. some of that fog could be slow to lift across parts of scotland especially. but then we will see a lot of dry weather and some spells of sunshine. for many, this is likely to be the drier day of the weekend, 7—12 degrees. but you can see a frontal system trying to push in towards the southwest. by sunday, it does look like frontal systems will make some progress northwards and eastwards. just a bit of uncertainty about how far those weather fronts will get. the best chance of staying dry across the north of the uk, and it will be turning milder towards the south and the west.

this is bbc news, the headlines. israeli troops fighting hamas reach the heart of gaza city. the idf say they've destroyed more than 100 entrances to tunnels and captured thousands of weapons. thousands more palestinians flee gaza city, as israel temporarily opens — what it says — is a safe corridor. the us secretary of state antony blinken says gaza and the west bank should be united under the palestinian authority, and warns israel against any occupation of gaza.

the former head of the civil service apologises to the covert inquiry to suggest that people holding parties to try and catch the party. sport and for a full round—up, here's the bbc sport centre. ben stokes came to england's rescue again — with a superb century at the cricket world cup — as england ending up comfortably beating the netherlands. their hopes of a top fourfinish long gone — but the win does improve their chances of a qualification for the champions trophy. england, the holders had stokes, and dawid malan to thank. malan�*s 87 gave them a platform — but stokes' 108 helped to mask a batting collapse — putting england on 339 for 9. england's bowling showed much improvement — spinners moeen ali and adil rashid with three wickets each. it's just their second win in eight games, lifting them off the bottom —

with pakistan to come on saturday.
