welcome to the programme. the israeli prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, has again vowed to eradicate hamas. speaking in the last couple of hours, he said israeli would not stop until it won the war and brought back the hostages. mr netanyahu said israeli forces had killed thousands of hamas terrorists near the al—shifa hospital and they had lost their stronghold in that area. he also warned the lebanese group hezbollah not to make a mistake and start a war. translation: we're also prepared on the northern front _ and we're working there very strongly from the air and on the ground. it has one objective— to win. there is nothing — it has one objective— to win. there is nothing other than a victory. we will eradicate hamas and we will bring _ will eradicate hamas and we will bring back our hostages.

translation: we're also prepared on the northern front _ and we're working there very strongly from the air and on the ground. and i warn hezbollah, do not make that mistake and start a war, because it'll be the mistake of your lives. the moment you start a war, this will decide on the destiny of lebanon. we're working and fighting on additional fronts against terror, against the proxy, against its terrorists in syria, the red sea, lebanon — wherever needed. and vis—a—vis our hostages. benjamin netanyahu mentioned gaza's largest hospital, al—shifa. in the past couple of hours, the israeli military has said that it will assist in the evacuation of babies. the idf�*s chief spokesman, rear admiral daniel hagari, said the decision was taken following a request from the hospital administration. a surgeon had earlier sent the bbc a voice note saying they had run out of water, food and electricity. (00v map)israel food and electricity. israel has repeatedly accused hamas

of operating from tunnels underneath the hospital — hamas denies that. lucy williamson sent this report from jerusalem. gaza's main hospital is now the eye of this military storm. staff here say they've been under constant fire for the past 2a hours. the dead trapped here, along with the living. we would like to bury their bodies. we tried yesterday to make a big grave in shifa hospital, a mass grave, but the israelis attacked all the caterpillar who arrived to shifa hospital. we don't want to have any outbreaks due to these dead bodies who are outside the main refrigerator. one doctor there said patients were so frightened, some left with serious injuries untreated. the hospital lost power yesterday. doctors without borders has accused the israeli military of signing the death warrant of civilians trapped in al—shifa. shooting and bombardment everywhere. you hear it at every second

here around the shifa hospital. and no—one can get out from the shifa hospital, and the people who tried this morning to evacuate from the hospital, they have been shooted. elsewhere, doctors report carrying out surgery by the light of mobile phones. they say the lack of electricity is threatening the lives of newborn babies and those in intensive care. some, they say, have already died. loud blast israel says its ground offensive has so far captured ii hamas bases. it says its enemy hides behind hospitals like al—shifa, but that it's not targeting the complex. translation: there is no shooting at the hospital i and there is no siege. the east side of the hospital remains open. additionally, we coordinate with anyone who wants to leave the hospital safely. a few miles from gaza, soldiers reconnect with parents who themselves fought here in similar wars. some of the soldiers gathering for a weekend break here

lost friends and comrades in the hamas attack. they're now under growing pressure from israel's public and politicians to finish their mission. israel's leaders are facing questions over the plan for gaza once the military operation ends. this family has sent three generations to fight in israel's army. the shabbat family picnic, snatched on the roadside, has become a tradition of its own. the father, yaron, said israelis didn't want to fight, but that they and their neighbours were like fire and water. the talk here in israel is often a call for peace, backlit by the sounds of war. lucy williamson, bbc news, southern israel. books get more on the state of the operation. for more on this, we go to behnam ben teleblu, a senior fellow at the foundation for defence of democracies whojoins me from washington, dc. thank you very much for being with us, and we heard from the israeli

prime minister, very defiant and one of his regular appearances. his troops will continue until this is complete, he says. how do you evaluate the current state? quote leasure evaluate the current state? quote pleasure to _ evaluate the current state? quote pleasure to be _ evaluate the current state? quote pleasure to be with _ evaluate the current state? quote pleasure to be with you. - evaluate the current state? quote pleasure to be with you. it's - evaluate the current state? quote pleasure to be with you. it's clear| pleasure to be with you. it's clear that both the ground operation is designed to get as many bases as possible, as well as detect as many strike capabilities — the rockets, the drones and even some close range capabilities like anti—tank weapons. i've seen multiple reports confirming what your earlier reports that about the lebanon and hamas bases. i assume that numbers going to grow if israel successful. much

left in the hamas arsenal as both refugees as well as fighters. to the north, a message _ refugees as well as fighters. to the north, a message from _ refugees as well as fighters. to the north, a message from mr- refugees as well as fighters. to the i north, a message from mr netanyahu, warning hezbollah against increasing its involvement, saying beirut could face up the same risk. how much of a risk is there?— risk is there? israel's been in a very difficult — risk is there? israel's been in a very difficult balancing - risk is there? israel's been in a very difficult balancing act - very difficult balancing act bolstered by washington, which creates both positive and negative issues. and they're trying to respond to the attacks that hezbollah has engaged with the eye drones and rocket fire. and exactly how skilled it is really on the other side... they don'tjust want to absorb, they want to push back so hezbollah knows it doesn't have a

free hand to join the fight. interestingly, both israel and iran face a catch—22. iran's prosody is not created to bailout palestinians. it was created to put of perna minute shiv. —— permanent. never understand why hezbollah is an acting yet, and that has to deal with the calculations.— with the calculations. you're “oininu with the calculations. you're joining us — with the calculations. you're joining us from _ with the calculations. you're joining us from washington, j with the calculations. you're l joining us from washington, is with the calculations. you're - joining us from washington, is there a risk of israel losing its vital support in the form of its us ally? no, not necessarily. some lead into some of the messages too much. antony blinken has talked about the need to actually continue the operation and amend the language about the operational causes. while israeli troops face fire in gaza. by

the gets a bit of a tight rope for washington, but it's one certainly that the united states understands. lest we forget perhaps it's wise to broaden the picture here. iran backed proxies in iraq and syria. as long as its operation in gaza has gone on. long as its operation in gaza has one on. �* ., �* , long as its operation in gaza has one on. �* . �* , ., ~ gone on. behnam ben teleblue, thank ou ve gone on. behnam ben teleblue, thank you very much — gone on. behnam ben teleblue, thank you very much for _ gone on. behnam ben teleblue, thank you very much for being _ gone on. behnam ben teleblue, thank you very much for being with - gone on. behnam ben teleblue, thank you very much for being with us. - let's ta ke let's take a look at the life picture over the skyline. this is the view from israel towards gaza. it's just gone ten past 11 at night there. we'll keep an eye on that skyline over the coming hours and let you know if we see any military activity.

police in the uk say 300,000 pro—palestinian protestors have marched through central london calling for a ceasefire in gaza. most of those arrested were white ring, processors for them please describe them as intoxicated and clearly looking for confrontation. this was the biggest rally of its kind since the start of the israel hamas war. it follows date of controversy about the march taking place on what is armistice day and comments from the home secretary who described the police as biased in favour of reposting groups. here's our home editor, mark easton. despite, or perhaps because, government ministers were encouraging people to stay away, this afternoon's pro—palestinian march brought more than 300,000 people onto the streets of central london — easily the largest protest since the current israel—gaza conflict began.

it's 11. "it's 11," says one demonstrator, as groups marked the armistice with a two—minute silence. quite a number of protesters were wearing poppies. it's an important day to remember those who died, but amongst them were 10,000 palestinians who joined the british army. the atmosphere as the rally began was relaxed and good—natured, but from early in the day, police have been concerned about what they categorised as a right—wing counter protest. there were scuffles a short distance from the cenotaph. 1,000, maybe more. the met commissioner sir mark rowley paid a visit to his command team as riot squads in the field worked to keep the two protest groups apart. here in the met police's operations centre, officers are monitoring every aspect of the protest and they've got fixed cameras. the met commissioner sir mark rowley paid a visit to his command team as riot squads in the field worked to keep the two protest groups apart. here in the met police's operations centre, officers are monitoring every aspect of the protest

and they've got fixed cameras. and also, they've got evidence gatherers, officers on the ground, who are taking pictures they can beam back live from the scene so the commanders here can decide where to deploy and when to arrest. we watched as the senior commanders instructed their teams in the field to arrest some of the counter—protesters. from what we can see, they came intent on confrontation, intent on violence and intent on causing trouble. we've made a number of arrests within the counter protests, including for possession of a knife, possession of a baton, possession of class a drugs and assault on an emergency worker. siren wails as police were rounding up the far right demonstrators, the mayor of london, sadiq khan, claimed the home secretary suella braverman's criticism of the met had emboldened the far right groups. across the whole footprint, we're monitoring very closely if anyone is committing offences, either within the main march or within the counter protest. police have arrested around a dozen

pro—palestinian demonstrators, allegedly for making anti—semitic chants or showing support for hamas — a proscribed terrorist group. the main march is now dispersing, but officers are keeping a close eye on smaller breakaway groups with darkness having fallen across the capital. mark easton, bbc news, central london. it ended at the us embassy. our news correspondent frances reid has been at the american embassy, where the protest finished. mostly everyone has now dispersed. i can see behind me at the moment we've got quite a big police presence at the moment. so, we did just see a big group of police actually come down the road here in front of the embassy. they were wearing helmets and protective gear and they've now gone back up the route where the demonstrators came from in the first place. the vast majority of demonstrators, i have to say, have now dispersed. there are still a few people here who police are speaking

to at the side of the road. there's a big there's a far larger police presence now, i think, than there was earlier. frances, 300,000 people, more than 100 arrests. more than 100 arrests, much of those arrests have been concentrated in particular areas. have there been many scuffles where you are at the israeli embassy, at the us embassy? no, there have not been many scuffles. they've just been people peacefully protesting. there are still some people around here. i've not seen any scuffles personally here. it has been more of a family feel throughout the day. obviously, it's been daylight, now it's getting into night—time. there are more people here now that i think police will be moving on relatively soon. but so far, no scuffles. and frances, talk to us about what some of the people who you've been talking to have been saying there today. why have they felt it's necessary to come out today? we've seen a slogan that said "peace for palestine, peace for israel, peace for the world."

and i think that's what people here wanted to do. they wanted to mark armistice day as well. some people were wearing poppies as well as carrying palestinian flags as well. so, i think that was what they wanted to get across, that they wanted it to be a peaceful demonstration. and largely, there are people, as you can see behind me, who are still protesting, still holding up slogans and things like that. but it has been largely peaceful. francis read outside the us embassy. the protest in london sparked a tense week at the height of government. home secretary suella braverman is facing calls to be sacked after an article she wrote in which she accused the police of bias and playing favourites by treating pro—palestinian marches differently to demonstrations by right—wing groups. the prime minister, rishi sunak, has just issued this statement.

he goes on to say... earlier, i spoke to our political correspondent, helen catt. she talked me through what the prime minister had to say about the protests. he's put out a statement condemning what he says are the "violent, wholly unacceptable scenes that we've seen today from the edl and associated groups".

that's the english defence league and then the far right protesters. they were talking about and the scenes that we saw near the cenotaph. but also, he said he condemns those he refers to as "hamas sympathisers" who attended the national march for palestine. and he talks about remembrance weekend and how this is a time but also, he said he condemns those he refers to as "hamas sympathisers" who attended the national march for palestine. and he talks about remembrance weekend and how this is a time for us all to come together as a nation and remember those who fought and died for our freedoms. he says, "the actions that we've seen utterly disrespects the honour of our armed forces". but he is absolutely clear that he is equally and evenhandedly criticising those who he calls the edl thugs who were attacking police officers and trespassing on the cenotaph, but also those who were singing anti—semitic chants and brandishing pro—hamas signs and clothing on today's pro—palestine march. so, he is addressing both of those equally. as you've said, others have been talking about, in particular, the far right disturbances and the sort of violent scenes that we saw there and pointing the finger at the home secretary

and her rhetoric from earlier in the week and saying that they believe that she is responsible for that. they were already, of course, before she published her article, plans for far right protests. but it's certainly true that what we've seen today have been far bigger in scale than previous far right counter—protests. as the march itself, the pro—palestinian march was much bigger, and those have been, whereas before those sort of demonstrations, counter—demonstrations were static. counter—demonstrations were static, today, they've been moving around. so, rishi sunak goes on to say that he will be meeting the metropolitan police commissioner in the coming days, "that all criminality must be met with the full and swift force of the law". he says that's what he told the met police commissioner when he met him on wednesday. "and that," he says, "is what they are accountable for and what i expect". muss anticipated mark has taken place. how is the week ahead looking for the home secretary? think place. how is the week ahead looking for the home secretary?— for the home secretary? think it miaht be for the home secretary? think it might be a _ for the home secretary? think it might be a nervous _ for the home secretary? think it might be a nervous week - for the home secretary? think it might be a nervous week for - for the home secretary? think it| might be a nervous week for her.

firstly, this article that i've been talking about that she published in the newspaper earlier this week, an opinion piece where she talked about this margin referred to the pro—palestinian marches as hate marchers. she drew comparisons with northern ireland, she accused the police of playing favourites in the way that they tackle different protests. so, that is why people are pointing the finger at her today and saying she has planned the flames —— the prime minister had asked her to make some changes. those changes were not made. outing street has been looking into that for the next few days. there is a question mark over what her future could be depending on what the prime minister decides. next week, we get the ruling from the supreme court on whether the government's flagship

plan is awful like let's go to salford for a look at today's sport with go to salford for a look at today's sort with we're starting with football, and news of tottenham and arsenal to come, but first, an incredible result for bournemouth. third from bottom in the premier league after a dreadful run of form. today, bournemouth beat newcastle 2—0 in the late kick—off — dominic solanke scoring both second half goals as they convincingly beat their former manager eddie howe's team to move out of the relegation zone. at the other end of the table, tottenham missed the chance to go back to the top of the table as they suffered a shock late defeat at wolves. spurs looked to be heading for victory — leading 1—0 until the 91st minute, when they then conceded two goals in stoppage time, and wolves snatched a 2—1win. their manager gary o'neil admits its a result he'll remember for a long time. may be the most proud i've been of a group since i've coached. i thought we were the better side of apart

from the first five minutes. i was proud of the group for the understood dual what we're trying to do. to keep going was incredible and fully deserved. and spurs' defeat allowed local rivals arsenal to move above them into second in the table, after they beat burnley. there were also wins for manchester united and everton. elsewhere in europe, paris saint germain have gone top of french ligue un, thanks to kylian mbappe. their star striker scored a hat—trick as they beat reims 3—0. and to another star striker in germany — harry kane, who became the first player to score 17 goals after only 11 bundesliga matches, as he helped bayern munich beat heidenheim to also go top of the table. in spain, girona's remarkable season goes on. they're five points clear at the top of la liga after beating rayo vallecano. second—placed real madrid can cut that gap to two points if they can beat valencia. the latest from the bernabeu

is real are leading 2—0. —— 4—0. and in italy, ac milan missed the chance to close the gap on leaders inter in serie a, drawing 2—2 with lecce. juventus have gone top after beating cagliari — daniele rugani with what proved to be the winner. onto cricket, and england captainjos buttler admits their world cup campaign has been a big disappointment, but insists there won't be drastic changes to the team. england finished the tournament seventh out of ten after a final consolation victory over pakistan today. ben stokes top scoring in their total of 337. and pakistan didn't get close. they were bowled out for 244 runs, including three wickets for man of the match david willey, in his final international before retiring. meanwhile, australia's excellent tournament goes on. they made it seven wins in a row, beating bangladesh, thanks to a stunning innings from mitch marsh. he hit an unbeaten 177 as they chased down their target of 307, with eight wickets in hand and more

than five overs to spare. australia will play south africa in the semi—finals. it's been a good day for french tennis. ugo humbert won the men's singles title in metz in front of his home crowd, beating alexander shevchenko in straight sets. and adrian mannarino is the new sofia open champion after beating great britain's jack draper in three sets. disappointment for draper, who was playing in his first final on the atp tour. italy have booked their place in the final of the billiejean king cup after beating slovenia 2—0. they'll face either the czech republic or canada next. they're into a deciding doubles match. meanwhile, in the play—offs, katie boulter spared great britain's blushes against sweden. she beat caijsa hennemann 6—2, 6—1 to draw the tie level at 1—1, after debutantjodie burrage lost the first singles match, beaten by kajsa rinaldo persson, who is ranked 279 places below her.

and that's all the sport for now. lizzie, thank you very much. a reminder of our top story — benjamin netanyahu has again vowed to eradicate hamas, saying israel would not stop until it won the war and brought back the hostages taken by hamas. the situations in hospitals is becoming increasingly desperate. because of�*s biggest hospital, doctors awards that patients are at a risk of dying. leaders have met in saudi arabia to discuss israel's actions in gaza, jointly demanding a binding resolution to end israel's aggression in gaza and rejecting the description as self—defense. much more on that story of the bbc news website. stick with us.

hello. a pretty good chance of observing the northern lights tonight, particularly across northern parts of the uk, where the skies will be clear. but in the south, it's a different story. an advancing weather front means thick cloud and outbreaks of rain, and indeed, tomorrow, it's a wet one for many of us, but not everywhere — in the north, i think, the best of the weather. let's have a look at the satellite picture. here's the weather front approaching the british isles, thick cloud already in place across many western and south—western areas. a wet evening here, and the skies will remain clearest for the longest clearest for the longest the further north and east you are. so, the forecast, then — this evening shows clear skies in the north, but thickening cloud across ireland, outbreaks of rain, rain reaching wales,

the southwest, central, southern england, too. where the skies that have been clear over night and with light winds, a touch of frost and also some mist and fog forming here as well through the lowlands, the vale of york as well. but to the south of that, where we have the stronger winds, and that weather front is, then, further west and south, it's a cloudy picture with rain at times. you can see it's not a coherent area of rain — farfrom it. you can see pulses of rain here, one in the north and another one here approaching wales in the south—west. if anything, actually, towards the end of the afternoon, we might see a return of some bright, if not sunny weather to south—western parts of england and wales, just in time, and before sunset. so, let's have a look at the forecast for monday.

a large area of low pressure across the north atlantic, a weather front crossing the uk. look at all of that rain, strengthening winds as well, risk of gale force winds around some of these western coasts. it really could be very windy for a time, say, in the irish sea. but i think the wettest of the weather second half of the day will be in the north there. anywhere from northern ireland to scotland, i think, a fair amount of rain to come. indeed, the outlook for the week ahead is a very unsettled one. most places most days are in for some rain. perhaps towards the end of the week, something a little bit drier and brighter. bye— bye.

this is bbc news — the headlines... israel's prime minister — benjamin netanyahu — has given an address — in which he said his government's objective is still to eradicate hamas. speaking on israeli television — mr netanyahu also warned the lebanese group — hezbollah — not to make a mistake and start a war. the situation in hospitals in gaza is becoming increasingly desperate — as israeli forces continue their offensive against hamas. at gaza's biggest hospital — al—shifa — doctors have warned that patients are at risk of dying. the israeli military now says it'll evacuate babies to a �*safer hospital�* on sunday. an estimated 300,000 people have marched through central london calling for a ceasefire in gaza. it's believed to be the biggest such demonstration in britain

since the israel—hamas war broke out. around 2000 officers were deployed — and police say they've arrested more than 120 people they describe as counter—protesters. the israeli prime minister, benjamin netanyahu has again vowed to eradicate hamas. he said israeli forces had killed thousands of hamas militants near the al—shifa hospital. a surgeon at that hospital had earlier sent the bbc a voicenote saying they had run out of water, food and electricity. israel has repeatedly accused hamas of operating from tunnels underneath the hospital. hamas denies that. i spoke to our correspondent rushdi abualouf in khan younis in gaza's south, who gave me the latest on the fighting there.

the situation remain the same, very tense situation around the al—shifa hospital. this is the biggest medical centre for the entire of gaza strip. and the fighting was intensified around the hospital with thousands of people still trapped inside, people who are fleeing from nearby refugee camps, taking the hospital as shelter, there were about 50,000 people. but now, the number i think is down to less than 10,000, according to some people who are inside the hospital. most of them left when the corridor was opened. today, the situation was very dangerous throughout the day, so leaving the hospital was quite risky, but very few people who made it out of the hospital here in khan younis, thousands of people continue to take this journey through salah al—din road into the southern area, the area that israel asked

1.2 million people to go south. very few of them were from shifa hospital. i met someone here who spent the night last night in the hospital, who described the situation to me that it was really tense, there was a lot of shooting, a lot of bombing, air strikes around the hospital, and also the people who are trapped inside are suffering from the lack of food, medicine and water. there was excitement when humanitarian aid was allowed into gaza a few weeks ago, even though it trickled through slowly, he said people are hundreds of food and water and hospital power, how much in terms of supplies on the ground for people travelling to the south? look, most of the 500 or 600 trucks allowed from egypt through this humanitarian corridor were focused on the south, because now, more than 85% of the population are in the south of wadi gaza. but the people who are really suffering the most, those

who are still in gaza city and the north, about 200,000 people, they estimated, of people who are still in the area, the focus of the israeli ground operation in the north and in gaza city, those are not getting any of the aid coming from egypt. most of the aid is helping the people who are in the south, who are also struggling. we have seen people here in the hospital, hundreds of people, thousands of people, sleeping on the ground, begging water, begging food and waiting for more aid to come in. what is allowed is considered from the point of palestinian view as a drop in the ocean, and they need a sustainable humanitarian corridor that allows hundreds of trucks every day to be able to help. hundreds and thousands of people who are taking the south a shelter now. as we look to the week ahead, we see

arab and muslim leaders gathering in the middle east, process markers across the uk, is there any hope in gaza, the people of gaza, that meetings held by arab leaders would make any difference over the next several days? to make any difference over the next several days?— make any difference over the next several da 5? ., , ., , ., several days? to be honest, most of the --eole several days? to be honest, most of the people that _ several days? to be honest, most of the people that i _ several days? to be honest, most of the people that i was _ several days? to be honest, most of the people that i was talking - several days? to be honest, most of the people that i was talking to - the people that i was talking to yesterday, on the salah—al din road waiting for people to come from north to south, there were criticising the arab, the muslim for direction, they were angry of everybody and their leadership, angry of the world, they were screaming, shouting" where is the arab" the need to help us, they have lost hope of their old leadership, and the arabs who were after 36 days holding a meeting. someone in the tens who came from gaza told me

today that after 36 days, they are making the summit, we are almost like 11,000 people died, hundreds, thousands of housing units destroyed, the aid coming from our neighbouring egypt is very little concerning what is needed, very few people care about this summit today. i was trying to get the sense of if people were co—operates in or follow region the summit, most of the people here in the camp are in the survival mode, they want food and water and medicine, and they want more from the arabs as they all the time complaining about the lack of help from arabs and muslims.

earlier i spoke to ibrahim assalia — a british national who recently made it throught the rafah crossing from gaza into egypt. he told me what it was like being trapped in the conflict zone. it's nightmare for everyone, for every child. british national or palestinian national. the situation is very hard, very tough. it's not like a normal war. i can describe it as a science fiction film, which turned to be real. it's reality. that's what my own words were, what i can i can say. when you and your family got to the rafah crossing, how touch and go was it as to whether you would actually get out of gaza? actually, i'm from the north jabalya, which is the city north of gaza. and my main issue, my main problem was how to move south, according to requests by the israeli military to move to south. upon the request of the foreign office and the israeli army, they asked foreign nationals to leave couple of times through a safe corridor, called safe corridor through salahi.

actually me, my family and other british nationals, we made our way through to to the south three times on three occasions. first one, the border was closed. second one closed, we returned back. third one, we were shelled, actually, by israeli tanks. the convoy of the british nationals was shelled and they fired bullets. and i left my car with the family, i escaped miraculously. it was a miracle. and, actually, my car was hit. the luggage, my laptops, my children laptops burned. i left my laptop in the car. my car, all gone. the fourth time i was successful, actually, me and my family, and i took this decision to go with thousands of people who evacuated the north to the south. that was two days ago. sorry. that was, yes, before yesterday. yes. and yeah, i mean, iwent through a very difficult

time, me and my family. but we made it finally to the south, and after that through rafah crossing. drassalia, how are your children now? actually today. i mean, i've been i've been seen with my family by a doctor from the british embassy. i mean, because to be honest with one of my children, my daughter, my eldest daughter, she was exposed to this, the prohibited weapon, which was used by the israelis in the air. so she got a rash on her neck, like the skin around the neck and the back. and they seen that. and i was shocked when the medic here told me that they can't do anything because they don't know how to deal with this type of weapons or, you know.

so theyjust said, "ok, we're going to just see it. "we overlook it i mean, a couple of days and we will write you something like ointment cream, but we can't do anything". my wife as well, you know, she had the medication. she got the epilepsy condition and high blood pressure. she hasn't got her medication since ten days simply because no medicine in the pharmacies in gaza and no one can get out to get the medication. so she's been out of medication for ten days. i mean, today they brought us the medication. yeah. so, yeah. and we've been referred to all of us. i think they referred to a psychologist because they need all the children to see us psychologist. simply because, you know, we did not sleep for for a couple of days, the children were crying

after the sounds of the bombs. the israeli defence minister has warned the lebanese armed movement hezbollah that what israel is doing in gaza it can do in beirut. it comes as the leader of the hezbollah hassan nasrallah gave a speech in which he said his group had used new types of weapons and struck new targets in israel in recent days. hezbollah is, like hamas, listed as a terrorist organisation by many governments including the us and uk. more now on the israel—gaza war summit in saudi arabia the final statement from the emergency summit called for an immediate ceasefire in gaza as well as for humanitarian aid to be allowed into the territory and for a freeze on arms exports to israel. during the summit, the palestinian president, mahmoud abbas, demanded that the us should act to stop what he called israeli aggression against gaza.

translation: we hold - the united states of america, which has the greatest influence on israel, responsible for the absence of a political solution. we call on them to halt the israeli aggression, and work on ending the israeli occupation of our land and people and sanctities. and here's what saudi arabia's crown prince mohammed bin salman had to say. translation: the kingdom | affirms its categorical rejection of the continued aggression and forced displacement of the people of gaza. we are witnessing a humanitarian catastrophe which demonstrates the failure of the security council and the international community. earlier, i spoke to the bbc�*s security correspondent frank gardner. i began by asking him just who was at this summit. pretty much everybody from 57 islamic nations, including all the arab league

countries, and that includes some pretty strange bedfellows. this is saudi arabia, and yet its historic rival in this region, iran, sent its president, ebrahim rais, and, really, this was a tale of two halves. you had countries such as iran, syria, algeria, pushing for concrete punitive measures to not so much to punish israel but to punish israel's backers, primarily the united states. some were the closure of american bases in the region. some were calling for the closure of american bases in the region. for an end to the overflight rights of israel over arab countries. for a severing of diplomatic relations with israel, and places like bahrain, the uae, all of that was refused. what we have had, and i have been listening to the communques and talking to ministers, is a really resounding condemnation not only of israel's actions in gaza but those who support it, those who give it the green light, in their words.

i would say this summit isn't so much aimed at israel, it's aimed at the united states. there have been a lot of accusations of double standard saying, "look, "the west is a very quick to condemn russia for its killing "of civilians in ukraine, but has been pretty muted about what's going on in gaza," and the saudi foreign minister, for example, he, who is after all the us ally, and saudi arabia is a close strategic and defence partner in the united states, he said, "maybe it's time actually for a complete review of security "of the way the un does its business, because "the un security council, he said, had failed in its responsibility to hold israel to account. frank, briefly, is the us likely to pay attention to what these islamic leaders are saying?

i think it will, because the white house and us state department are already really uncomfortable at the way this war has been conducted, far deeper and further in more damaging than they expected. yes, i think this is united message. 0k, there might not be any concrete punitive measures against the us, but this is a measure, this is a communique and a strong message coming from a quarter of the un's members. they probably will take notice of that. will it change anything? who knows? it could just be long on words, short on action. the french president, emmanuel macron, has told the bbc that israel must stop killing babies, women and the elderly in gaza. in an interview at the elysee palace, he said israel had the right to respond to hamas's attack, but warned that the country could not fight terrorism by killing innocent civilians. he spoke to our europe editor katya adler we clearly condemn this terrorist attack and terrorist group and recognise the right of israel to protect itself and react.

but, day one, we say that this reaction and the fight against terrorism, because it is led by a democracy, should be compliant with international rules, rule of war and humanitarian international law. and day after day, what we saw is a permanent bombing of civilians in gaza. we worked very hard to try to protect people, our people there, because unhappily we lost more than a0 french nationals and we still have hostages. and when i speak about it first, i think about our families. but what happened during the past weeks is that we clearly saw that a lot of civilians were killed. and there is no justification for that. and the clear conclusion of everybody yesterday during the humanitarian conference,

from united nations to ngos to all the governments being present, is that there is no other solution than first a humanitarian pause going to a ceasefire which will allow to protect these people, to take care of people being in hospitals and to protect babies, ladies, old people, all the civilians having nothing to deal with these terrorists. and i think it's very important to say the whole story. but i think this is the only solution we have. this ceasefire. because it's impossible to explain, we want to fight against terrorism by killing innocent people. as you say, president macron, you've been very clear right from the beginning about israel's right to defend itself. you've talked about the fight against terrorism needing to be merciless is the word you used,

but not without rules. and you've just referred that to the high loss of civilian life in gaza. you've got the united nations secretary general saying gaza is turning into a graveyard for children. do you think israel is respecting those rules, the international rules that you're referring to? look, in the very first days, it's clear that the emotion, the compassion created a situation where everybody was just close to israel and backing them and sharing the pain. and we do share the pain, and we do share the willingness to get rid of terrorism. we know what terrorism means in france. but i think there is no justification precisely to attack civilians. there is no justification to make a distinction between the different lives —

palestinian lives do matter. and very clearly today these humanitarian rules are not properly respected. in other news, police in spain say they've arrested 121 people in a nationwide operation targeting child sexual abuse. they say it's one of the most important such operations they've carried out. officers have seized 500 terabytes of images of minors being sexually abused, many of an extreme and violent nature. ukraine's president has marked the first anniversary of the liberation of kherson from russian occupiers by praising the city's residents. volodomyr zelensky said they had inspiring the world with their resistance. he also thanked those who'd fought to make it possible. it comes amid fears expressed by some in ukraine that the conflict against russian forces has reached a stalemate, a description

score —— it's top story the israelite premise benjamin it's in your home said it would not stop until it won the war and bring back hostages will stop the situation in gazais hostages will stop the situation in gaza is becoming increasingly desperate as israeli forces continue their actions against hamas. at geysers biggest hospital, doctors have warned patients, including babies are in danger of dying. our nations havejoined for a unity statement to and is or is our aggression in gaza and rejecting its suggestion of idf activities as self—defense. this as over 3000 people have taken to the streets in london to call for a cease—fire in gaza. police have said some more

than 120 condor protesters have been arrested. much more on the bc news website. to stay with us. hello. a pretty good chance of observing the northern lights tonight, particularly across northern parts of the uk, where the skies will be clear. but in the south, it's a different story. an advancing weather front means thick cloud and outbreaks of rain, and indeed, tomorrow, it's a wet one for many of us, but not everywhere — in the north, i think, the best of the weather. let's have a look at the satellite picture. here's the weather front approaching the british isles, thick cloud already in place across many western and south—western areas. so, a wet evening here, and the skies will remain clearest for the longest the further north and east you are. so, the forecast, then — this evening shows clear skies in the north, but thickening cloud across ireland, outbreaks of rain, rain reaching wales, the southwest, central, southern england, too.

where the skies that have been clear over night and with light winds, a touch of frost and also some mist and fog forming here as well through the lowlands, the vale of york as well. but to the south of that, where we have the stronger winds, and that weather front is, it's a wet story here, really murky and drizzly. let's have a look at the picture around late morning. we can see sunshine and clear skies across much of scotland, sunshine for edinburgh, fine weather for newcastle, most of the north sea coast. then, further west and south, it's a cloudy picture with rain at times. you can see it's not a coherent area of rain — farfrom it. you can see pulses of rain here, one in the north and another one here approaching wales in the south—west. if anything, actually, towards the end of the afternoon, we might see a return of some bright, if not sunny weather to south—western parts of england and wales, just in time, and before sunset. so, let's have a look at the forecast for monday. a large area of low pressure

across the north atlantic, a weather front crossing the uk. look at all of that rain, strengthening winds as well, risk of gale force winds around some of these western coasts. it really could be very windy for a time, say, in the irish sea. but i think the wettest of the weather second half of the day will be in the north there. anywhere from northern ireland to scotland, i think, a fair amount of rain to come. indeed, the outlook for the week ahead is a very unsettled one. most places most days are in for some rain. perhaps towards the end of the week, something a little bit drier and brighter. bye— bye.
