live from london. this is bbc news. gaza's two main hospitals say they are suspending operations due to bombing, and a lack of fuel and medicine. israeli air strikes in southern gaza — our correspondent says there've been eight airstrikes around khan younis — with 23 people killed. seven people are charged after violence during armistice day protests in london. the home secretary thanks the police for their professionalism and in france, thousands of people gather in paris to march against antisemitism. hello i'm samantha simmonds. the ability of hospitals in gaza to function appears increasingly compromised this hour.

the two largest, al shifa and al-quds, have said they are suspending operations. staff claim israeli bombardment plus lack of fuel and medicine, mean patients including babies could die. israel's military said it has offered to evacuate newborn babies, and claims hamas has command centres close to the hospitals. our first report is from lucy williamson. the new map of gaza can't be trusted. safe places becoming empty spaces overnight. this was bani suhella near khan younis this morning in the south of gaza. our correspondent there heard people screaming for help under the rubble. israel has told people to move south, to avoid the fighting in the north. but the search for shelter here is still a deadly gamble of daily life. samira fled south from the bombardment at al—shifa hospital in gaza city. translation: we thought the hospital was a safe place, but it wasn't. - if we had stayed there

another five minutes, we would have been killed. my son got injured, so i left him behind. doctors have been sending desperate messages, describing the constant bombardment and working without food, water, or electricity. the hamas—run health ministry says three hospitals have shut down. in al—shifa, premature babies have been moved to a surgical unit, after their incubators failed. yesterday, israel's army said it would help move them somewhere safer. we will help the babies in the paediatric department to get to a safer hospital. today, we exchanged messages with a doctor inside al—shifa, who said he was afraid all the babies in the unit would die. unfortunately, today, we lost another baby yesterday in this neonatal icu, which does not look like a neonatal icu. it is one big open space for these babies. israel says hamas uses tunnels under hospitals like al—shifa, to plan and launch attacks.

but the clock is ticking louder on its military operation as the toll on gaza's civilian grows. civilians grow. and negotiations continue over whether to pause the fighting to secure the release of hostages held by hamas. before the war, yael helped transport sick gazan children to hospitals in israel. her team has continued to ferry sick palestinians in from the west bank, despite growing calls here to pick a side. it's tricky, because my sister's. sons are there now and my best friend's sons are there now i and i'm afraid of the soldier... the soldiers are like my kids, you know? so, i'm praying for the soldier- to come back safe and i'm praying for the gazan kids to be safe. and i think this war should stop as fast as it can. -

gaza is locked in a daily spiral. international concern over gazans' struggle to survive is turning israel's military campaign into a race against time. lucy williamson, bbc news, israel. the israeli military have given an update on the war in the past few hours. our correspondent in jerusalem paul adams was listening. they are saying that they have tried to relieve the humanitarian situation in shifa hospital. they tried to leave 300 litres of fuel at a nearby road junction last night. they say that that fuel was not collected. they believe that hamas is getting in the way. hamas, of course, they say, are in control in the hospital and have a main command centre underneath shifa hospital. so the israelis are clearly aware of a worsening humanitarian situation inside the hospital. we've all been hearing about the babies who've been taken

out of incubators who may be being waiting to be evacuated. the israelis have said for the last 2a hours we're willing to assist in that evacuation. it still hasn't happened. again, the israelis are saying this is because hamas is meddling. so there's a real battle of wills going on around shifa hospital. and all the while you get a really mounting sense of international pressure on israel to try and do something to scale back the humanitarian, the human consequences of its operation. you've got a desperately worded statement from the international committee of the red cross talking about what it calls an unbearable human tragedy unfolding in gaza with the completely inadequate provision of aid in the south. you've got the eu's foreign policy chief, josep borrell calling for longer humanitarian pauses, for much greater efforts to increase the provision of humanitarian aid, and also comments reflecting some disquiet in washington also about the way israel's campaign is going.

so i think we are reaching a critical moment when israel still determined to press ahead with its goals. and shifa hospital is definitely one of them because of what what it thinks is underneath, now coming under pressure to try to stop soon. paul, the reuters news agency is just reporting that the us secretary of state, antony blinken, who is heavily involved in all of the diplomacy going on, has been speaking with qatar's prime minister, discussing efforts to evacuate the critically wounded, increase the flow of humanitarian aid, and also discussing the hostage situation. just tell us a bit more about qatar's role in all of this and how it could help alleviate all those three situations. well, qatar is trying very hard to emerge out of this as an honest broker, almost certainly because it's acutely conscious that it's spent the last several years hosting senior members

of hamas, providing money to hamas in gaza, somewhat, actually at the behest at the request of the israeli government. but that's a whole other story. but it now feels the need to try and rehabilitate its image. and it sees itself as a conduit for conversations between people like the americans and others about aid and that crucial issue of hostages. because that is the other thing that's hanging over this whole situation, is the fate of 239 hostages still being held somewhere in the gaza strip. the israeli government has argued all along that keeping up military pressure on hamas is the best way to secure the release of hostages. but that is an argument which i think many outside israel and indeed some israelis, regard as questionable. and again, we're getting these calls for longer periods of calm, longer ceasefires to enable negotiations, which we keep hearing about, negotiations about hostages to bear fruit, because at the moment,

they're just not. this week, the world health organization warned that half of gaza's 36 hospitals were not functioning. meghan owen has this update on what we know about some of them. it's becoming increasingly difficult for hospitals in gaza to operate in the war. now many of the main ones are clustered in the north of the strip. we see some of them pictured here amidst the purple areas, which show the israeli ground operations. now, let's just start with the al—shifa hospital, which is the largest in gaza. this footage was taken on tuesday and shows crowded hospital corridors. now the world health organization has expressed deep concern for the patients and the staff members at the hospital because it's lost communication with its contacts there. the bbc also received this photo, which shows babies being held in a surgical room instead of in incubators. they reportedly need oxygen. now, the israeli military denies attacking the hospital, but it does say that it is fighting hamas near the facility.

israel's president, isaac herzog, also told the bbc that hamas' headquarters lay beneath the hospital. let's move on to the al-quds hospital, just below al—shifa. now, this footage here was released by the palestinian red crescent society and shows displaced children huddling together inside the hospital watching tv. the society also says that the hospital has run out of fuel and that medical staff are having to operate without electricity. moving on to the indonesian hospital. now, there's been lots of footage that's emerged and that's been verified by the bbc, of explosions near the hospital. let's just take a look at this one, which was recorded earlier this week. doctors operating at this hospital also say that they've run out of electricity and oxygen

supplies and they're having to use manual resuscitations. manual resuscitators. and finally, the antique hospital, now, this is one of the children's hospitals in the strip. and they released this footage which appears to show tanks just outside the hospital. now, the israeli military says that apart from a handful of staff members and bedridden patients, most people have been evacuated from these two children's hospitals. there are fears the war in gaza could spill over into a regional war. there have already been clashes between israel, lebanon and syria. there have been intense diplomatic talks since the hamas attack on october 7 to quell tensions in the region. live now to tel aviv where we'rejoined byjotam confino, foreign editor ofjewish news. welcome to you. tell is a little bit more about what you're feeling is there in israel, the assessment of how this conflict is going, five

weeks on?— how this conflict is going, five weeks on? , ., ., ., ~ ., weeks on? first of all we talk about gaza, it is under _ weeks on? first of all we talk about gaza, it is under immense - weeks on? first of all we talk about gaza, it is under immense pressurej gaza, it is under immense pressure from the international system to impose a ceasefire. the only actor really that can force to do that is the united states, and it hasn't done so far. it is continuing to do everything it can to dismantle hamas in strip structure in gaza. at the same time, why i think we should be looking closely at is north of the border. forfive weeks now looking closely at is north of the border. for five weeks now it has beenin border. for five weeks now it has been in a warlike situation, only they would already be fully engaged in a war, but because of the war in gazait in a war, but because of the war in gaza it is more tolerant with these attacks coming from hezbollah. everyday we are moving closer to a full on war with hezbollah. today was really another step in that direction. 21 israelis were wounded

in anti—tank missile attacks and rocket attacks. the air strikes a0 kilometres into lebanon and today it was also warned once again that to change the situation in the northern border. i think this is really what caused the whole situation to explode. this is what everyone is obviously worried about. we have seen a huge _ obviously worried about. we have seen a huge amount _ obviously worried about. we have seen a huge amount of— obviously worried about. we have seen a huge amount of diplomacy around that from the us secretary of state and other world leaders, also do a lot of diplomacy in arab countries surrounding israel, to try to ensure that doesn't happen. is your assessment that the situation is escalating between lebanon and israel? ~ , , ~' is escalating between lebanon and israel? ~ , , ~ ., israel? absolutely. i think we are literally one _ israel? absolutely. i think we are literally one step _ israel? absolutely. i think we are literally one step away, _ israel? absolutely. i think we are literally one step away, one - literally one step away, one miscalculation away from a full on war. we also hear politicians calling for a full on war with hezbollah. they might be the opposition but nevertheless, the former defence minister said that

this should actually, we should actually get rid of hezbollah now. we might as welljust go full on. for every anti—tank missile that is fired and either kill somebody or injure someone, this isjust really pushing into... is going to have to retaliate then we heard the defence minister morning lebanon saying beirut could turn into gaza if this doesn't stop. just beirut could turn into gaza if this doesn't step-— beirut could turn into gaza if this doesn't stop. just explained to our viewers who _ doesn't stop. just explained to our viewers who hezbollah _ doesn't stop. just explained to our viewers who hezbollah are - doesn't stop. just explained to our viewers who hezbollah are and - doesn't stop. just explained to our| viewers who hezbollah are and how much of a threat they are to israel, and how they could drag in countries surrounding israel as well? first and how they could drag in countries surrounding israel as well?— surrounding israel as well? first of all it is a proxy _ surrounding israel as well? first of all it is a proxy of, _ surrounding israel as well? first of all it is a proxy of, funding - surrounding israel as well? first of all it is a proxy of, funding with - all it is a proxy of, funding with hundreds of dollars every year. for some it is a terrorist organisation, for others it is seen as the... it

has become a massive player in the region. it has between 100 and 150,000 rockets and missiles, precision guided missiles, that can reach all across israel and it is something that israel is not ready, really, to contain. if hezbollah starts firing these rockets all across israel it would not mean tens or hundreds of people killed, it could be thousands of people killed. it is a completely different player, it is by far one of israel's most dangerous enemies and of course, if iran enters the picture we are seeing a complete regional war, given its military might. b, seeing a complete regional war, given its military might.- given its military might. a stark warninus given its military might. a stark warnings indeed, _ given its military might. a stark warnings indeed, thank - given its military might. a stark warnings indeed, thank you - given its military might. a stark| warnings indeed, thank you very given its military might. a stark - warnings indeed, thank you very much forjoining us from tel aviv. the world health organization is warning that the hospitals aren't

see you departments, given the lack of fuel and supplies, and being able isolated completely. unfortunately no one can go in or out of that hospital, no supplies can go in there, no ambulances can reach the hospital and all the medical teams have been appealing for... evacuate the patients to egypt's ought to provide necessary fuel to run the hospital and save the lives of these critically ill patients, including newborns. three of the newborn babies have died from yesterday. it is believed that one of two of the seriously injured people have lost their lives also nicu department.— people have lost their lives also nicu department. vicky at his filly a desperate _ nicu department. vicky at his filly a desperate situation _ nicu department. vicky at his filly a desperate situation and - nicu department. vicky at his filly

hospital is not now operating and given the lack of fuel, they cannot receive any patients into these hospitals. in addition to the ongoing bombardments surrounding the hospitals, and the lack of ability to move any ambulances from the al—shifa hospital to other hospitals. the situation is really bad on the ground. nobody can move, no ambulances can go and there is no capacity within any hospital to receive additional patients. the only solution for these people, to manage to survive,...— only solution for these people, to manage to survive,... fikr, i want to ask you — manage to survive,... fikr, i want to ask you about _ manage to survive,... fikr, i want to ask you about al-shifa, - manage to survive,... fikr, i want to ask you about al-shifa, which i to ask you about al—shifa, which israel says underneath it is the command centre a1. you are gaza director of programmes at medical

many people who aren'tjewish who say they've turned up to express their solidarity with thejewish community and to make it clear that, from their point of view, the kind of targeting ofjews as a people, as a religion in france, is not something which they as good republicans, can support. among jews you speak to here, there's a very sombre feeling, a feeling that things have changed in the last few weeks. a lot of people were saying to me that, yes, it's always been pretty bad. they've lived on their nerves at these moments of crisis in the middle east. but it's far worse now than in the past. a lot of people saying that they've done things like removing their mezuzah from the front of their doors. they wear hats instead of kippahs when they go to the synagogue for shabbat. there is a real sense of anxiety among thejewish community here and therefore a satisfaction that there's been a big turnout here. another big topic on everyone's minds is the presence of the far right here or the hard right, the nationalist right, marine le pen. all thejews i have spoken to here today say, we've

had our problems with her party. but anyone who lends their voice to the fight against anti—semitism, is, as far as we're concerned, welcome. seven people are charged after violence during armistice day protests in london. 1a5 people have been arrested, the vast majority from right—wing groups. the home secretary thanks the police for their professionalism.

here's our political correspondent helen catt. the home secretary mrs braverman has been accused of inflaming tensions before the march after she branded pro—palestinian protesters "hate marchers". our political correspondent helen catt talked us through the latest. this is interesting, it's a weekend when we've heard suella braverman be talked about a lot, but we hadn't, up until this evening, heard from her since the article on thursday that you've talked about their where she talked about the police having double standards and talking about pro—palestinian mobs.

we then had a source close to her on friday night rolling back a little bit, suggesting the police had herfull backing. but this is the first time we've heard from her since. and it's quite interesting that she does think the police, saying it was an outrage that multiple officers had been injured doing their duties, it is notable i think that most of her words were reserved still for the pro—palestinian marches, and some of the language she uses about that, she's clearly not stepping back from that, this urging of further action. very little in there by way of condemnation be on that first original tweet for the far right protesters who, as you said, formed the majority of those who were arrested in connection with the violence that we saw yesterday in london. so interesting that she does seem to be doubling down on that language, certainly not stepping back from the language she's used, she does want further action to be taken against those who have been suspected of hate crimes or intimidation. so quite an interesting set of comments from her, i think. helen, since she wrote the article in the times on thursday, there's been a lot of speculation about whether or not she may stay in her role, especially given that article wasn't authorised by number ten — in fact, they asked for edits which didn't go into the published article. what's your assessment three days on as to whether or not she'll hang

on to herjob as home secretary? to be honest, i think it's still wide open at this stage. the defence secretary was sent out to the tv studios to speak on the government's behalf, and what he said really left it wide open for rishi sunak as to what decision he will make. grant shapps, the defence secretary, said he wouldn't have used the words that suella braverman had used, but he did defend her right to make those comments, saying he denied that she'd stirred things up, that she was discussing the protests. so he left it pretty open as to what rishi sunak will do. and there's two issues here, really, there's the language and the impact of her words — this isn't the first time she's said something that's turned out to be pretty controversial, but there is also that issue around the fact that it went to print without changes that downing street had made. downing street said it would look

into how that happened. stay with us here on bbc news. thanks for watching. hello. a damp, if not wet picture across many parts of the country this evening. and tomorrow, the met office warns a spell of stormy weather brought by storm debi, a fast—developing weather system. it still hasn't fully formed yet. and in fact, keep track of the weather forecasts because weather warnings across parts of the country may be upgraded over the coming hours. now, this is the satellite picture. you can see the rain—bearing cloud here across the uk, and then to the southwest, that's developing storm debi moving across ireland, and then into the irish sea, and across northern britain through the course of monday morning and into the afternoon. and the rain will reach ireland through the early hours. it'll sweep into many parts of western britain here. by the end of the night, i think it's still dry in scotland, around 7—8 celsius, but that milder air and strengthening winds in place

across many western and south western parts of the uk. so it's a really nasty area of low pressure, a lot of isobars there. so very big pressure gradient and strong winds blowing around it. now in scotland, it will be windy, but i think the worst of the weather will be a little bit further south. so heavy rain, strong winds, gales inland, 60, maybe even 70mph, but particularly around the irish sea, could approach 80mph, and places like lancashire could bear the brunt of that stormy weather. and very windy inland as well, 60—70mph gusts, damaging, disruptive, dangerous for a time. as i say, keep track of the weather forecasts. this storm could really bring a punch across northern parts of the uk. to the south of that, it won't be quite as blustery, but windy enough. and in fact, there'll be some sunshine during the day across, say, the midlands and southern parts of england. so after a stormy monday, here's a look at tuesday's weather map. as one area of low pressure pulls away, another weather front takes its place. and it will be a very

showery picture on tuesday, so there will be some sunny spells around as well. temperatures will be in the range of around 10—13 celsius on tuesday. now, i want to pick up on the rainfall — it is going to be a wet week. where you see the darker blues, you get more rainfall, typically 20—a0 millimetres of rain. in some spots, quite a bit more than that. but i think in the short term, it's storm debi that you have to bear in mind, that it's going to bring some very nasty weather across many parts of northern britain first thing in the morning and indeed through the afternoon on monday as well. bye— bye.

this is bbc news, the headlines israeli air strikes has continued across gaza, our correspondent witnessed one of the eight air strikes around khan younis on sunday. in total, 23 people were killed on sunday with 200 more injured . the world health organization says it lost all contact at gaza's main hospital, and has grave concerns for staff and patients. another major health centre, the al quds hospital, has stopped accepting any more patients. seven people are charged after violence during armistice day protests in london. 1a5 people have been arrested, the vast majority from right—wing groups. the home secretary thanks the police for their professionalism. iceland's government has declared a state of emergency, and evacuated thousands of people from towns in the west of the country. experts say the chance

tried to win the game, the three points, yes, i see him being brought out. yes, i think it was an amazing afternoon and evening. well, it was an entertaining game for the premier league. both teams want to win so i couldn't expect differently. the game was difficult to control. they were aggressive. but we did have our momentum and moments. you had to three transitions won against one, they could not finish because it was over. at that game was in the moments, it was a tight game, i would say a fair result. meanwhile liverpool are up to second after beating brentford 3—0. it was an easy win for jurgen klopp's side who've won every home game this season. two goals from mohamed salah and anotherfrom diogojota move them above arsenal and tottenham.

are dominating in the t20 format. of course in 50—over game you have got plenty of time to come back in your spell and definitely if you get a couple of wickets you are on top of the game. northern ireland's rory mcilroy will win a fifth race to dubai title at next week's season finale after max homa won the nedbank golf challenge. homa cruised to a four—stroke victory in south africa. homa had a few wobbles midway through his final round, but finished strongly with a six—under—par 66. he's won six events on the pga tour, but this is his first victory outside the united states. canada have won the billiejean king cup for the first time in their history. leylah fernandez sealed the 2—0 win over italy in seville, beating jasmine paolini in straight sets, following on from a shock victory in the first match when teenager marina stakusic — ranked 258th beat italy's top 50 player martina trevisan. stakusic said it had been

is being directly targeted. you've got to remember that the head of the hospital was appointed by hamas. and if hamas is still controlling the hospital, so people are restricted in what they can say, they can only follow the hamas line. that is, unfortunately, the reality. i just want clarity on that. you said you don't think so. so is that a no? that hospital is not being directly targeted by israeli missiles? we don't directly target hospitals. we target hamas and we target hamas positions. that is our policy. but if they are operating, as you contend, from that hospital, then would you say you are directly targeting hamas within that hospital? i don't believe that's correct. i haven't been updated of exactly what's going on on the ground. but from previous experience, i know we don't target hospitals. we target hamas positions. now, hamas has, of course, turned the area of the hospital into a war zone by establishing their military headquarters directly underneath the hospital. that's been proven. everyone in gaza knows that to be true.

so how do you target hamas if they operate, as you say, from underneath that hospital? how do you target them directly without indirectly impacting other people, patients, doctors, medical staff, in that hospital? so you send in your ground forces and you're as surgical as you can be, in a difficult combat situation. at the same time, there is an exit available to people who want to leave. israel has not surrounded the hospital in a way that no one can leave. they can leave. i believe it's through the east and they have a safe corridor there. and people who are patients, we've also said we're willing to take people in ambulances, help them to leave. it's a very difficult situation because, as you know, hamas has deliberately built its military infrastructure, and at the hospital, in its desire to use the patients there and the whole medical structure is as a civilian shield, as a human shield for its military machine. so as far as you know, as far as you know, have people been able to make use of that offer to leave that hospital safely, to be evacuated via ambulance that's

put on by the israeli defense forces ? correct. we've had people leave and we've had, i think it was yesterday, we had 70,000 people or 50,000 people the day before with 70,000 people. what we've discovered is, as we are taking apart hamas's control of that part of the gaza strip, people who were kept there by force, who couldn't leave, are now more than happy to leave and they're moving out of our corridor. the civilian population, we've asked them to leave, as you know, for over three weeks now. we've suggested that they leave and most of them voted with their feet and left. they wanted to get out of a combat zone. and hamas had the opposite policy, though, hamas wanted to keep them there as human shields, forced at gunpoint, people to stay. and now as their rule there in that part of the gaza strip is falling apart. people are free to move. i want to speak with you about this hospital. many people within that hospital are saying that babies in incubators are not being able to be kept alive

because they don't have enough fuel to keep those incubators going. nearly 2a hours ago, the israeli government told the bbc that they would help the movement of babies, they would help facilitate it from that hospital to keep them alive. has that happened ? can you confirm, and if so, how many babies and where are they going? i cannot confirm, but i do know there was talk and no ambulances there was talk and ambulances to be provided for moving babies. we want to do everything we can to keep babies alive. isn't that ultimately the real story here? that though israel is perceived as being the enemy of the palestinians, we are making every effort to safeguard palestinian civilians while hamas is doing the exact opposite? they are using babies as human shields. we shouldn't be surprised they are taking babies from israel as well as hostages.

you can confirm that the israeli government, the idf, i doing everything they can to help evacuate those babies and keep them alive? exactly. you don't know how many? i don't have the details because the operation is ongoing. we will only announce something once it is completed. we wouldn't talk about it for fear that hamas would try to obstruct it. as in the past they have shot at humanitarian can corridors. hamas want gazans to die to protect their military machine. in normal countries you commemorate it with remembrance day. the job of the military is to protect the civilians. hamas use there civilians to protect the military.

five weeks on the mission to destroy hamas, militarily what have you achieved? its still a work in progress. we have achieved a lot. the mere fact that we are the very centre the hamas military machine is a sign we're making progress. we are taking apart that machine and the fact that the civilian population of gaza, of that part of gaza, is now free from hamas rule and is free to flee out of the combat zone where hamas was keeping them, i think that shows we are making progress. it won't be over tomorrow, it will take time, but we will destroy the hamas military machine and their political control over gaza in gaza. it is good for the people of gaza who deserve better than this radical regime that does not care about the people of gaza. israel has allowed for pauses in their military operations to allow palestinian civilians

to flee areas of fighting. but humanitarian organisations say this doesn't go far enough, calling for a ceasfire agreed to by both israel and gaza. live now to tjada mckenna, ceo of the humanitarian and aid organisation mercy corps. welcome, thank you for being with us, tell us what you think needs to happen now? trio us, tell us what you think needs to happen now?— us, tell us what you think needs to ha en now? ., ., ., i. .. happen now? no matter what you call it, cease happen now? no matter what you call it. cease fire — happen now? no matter what you call it, cease fire or _ happen now? no matter what you call it, cease fire or pause, _ happen now? no matter what you call it, cease fire or pause, none - happen now? no matter what you call it, cease fire or pause, none of - happen now? no matter what you call it, cease fire or pause, none of it - it, cease fire or pause, none of it is so safe unless it's united terribly agreed to come up proper planning is in place, you cannot operate these without the basic necessities like fuel, water, running water, guaranteed safety of aid workers, and civilians need the ability to return to where they came from after receiving this. so, these things that have been unilaterally announced by israel, whatever they choose to call them, these are not sufficient to provide the humanitarian access that the people of gaza, and the humanitarian it

the streets of london were being polluted by hate, violence and anti—semitism. she said it could not go on, and that further action was necessary. earlier i spoke to bethany dawson, uk politics reporter at politico and asked her for her reaction to both ms braverman's tweet and the prime minister's statement earlier in the week. sunak and bravermen, with this statement, have given their support to the police, and they have made, you know, they have given their thanks to the efforts of police officers, some of whom were injured this weekend. but it doesn't answer the question that many people are asking about the policing and the management by politicians of these far right protesters. and these are the people that assistant commissioner matt twist described as being extremely violent and looking for confrontation during the marches. so whilst it maybe kind of closes one door or at least puts a full stop on one sentence, many questions still are going unanswered. yeah, a big question is what now for the home secretary? and questions raised, certainly over the past few days, about whether or not she's

going to hang on to herjob, given that on thursday, we also learnt from downing street that they didn't authorise the article that was published and, in fact, asked for edits that didn't go in. yeah, it's it's been an incredibly tumultuous week for rishi sunak and suella braverman, both for very different reasons. people were questioning whether the home secretary would be in post this weekend. of course, she still is. again, that might be a question that's asked tomorrow, but it doesn't feel like an issue that's going away. she's continuing to make statements. and this, of course, is creating a whole host of reactions, notjust from the opposition, but from people within her own party. and we're seeing people saying that many members, that many mps, conservative mps, are really unhappy with the home secretary. and so the pressure that sunak is facing right now doesn'tjust come from people that you may assume would be opposed to the home secretary for

maybe political reasons. but these are coming, the calls are kind of coming from inside the house now. so he's got a really difficult issue on his hands. yeah. and is it a case of damned if he does, damned if he doesn't? i mean, there's the whole issue ofjust how how weak or not he's looking over this issue. yeah. so the conservative party is of course as well a really broad church of of political views. and suella braverman represents the sort of more right—wing of the party. and that is important for politicians, for conservative politicians, that align themselves there to have that representation on the front bench. so it's a difficult one for sunak if he moves her away from that post. but it's also, you know, if he keeps her in post, it's seen as sort of a confirmation that he approves of what she's doing. and that might not be something that is going to please many people. so he's in a really difficult position. and tomorrow, as i said, may answer some questions, but we may be here tomorrow night still asking, "what's going on?"

the king has led the remembrance day service at the cenotaph in central london. thousands of members of the armed forces marched past the monument to remember those who died in the two world wars, and other conflicts. around the uk, a two minute silence was held at 11am with numerous services to remember the fallen. our royal correspondent, nick witchell reports. at a time of turmoil and division, a pause for reflection and remembrance. at 10.59am, the king led senior members of the royal family to their positions, in readiness for the national two minutes' silence, for those who lost their lives in the world wars and other conflicts are remembered. big ben chimes the hour.

in whitehall, after the sounding of the last post, the king laid his wreath on behalf of the nation to stand upright against the

cenotaph's northern face. the political leaders laid their wreaths, followed by the high commissioners and the military chiefs. and then the veterans, some 10,000 men and women and among them a 98—year—old who landed on d—day. all with their own memories of service and many with memories of loss. nicolas witchell, bbc news. the chance of a volcanic eruption in iceland is now rising, posing a threat to the town of grindavik — which has been evacuated. iceland has declared a state of emergency after a series of earthquakes — and the country's meteorological office says there is a considerable risk of an eruption. rachel mcadam has more this is grindavik, the small town in iceland which has been evacuated over fears of a volcanic eruption. thousands of tremors have rocked the region in the last few days,

like this one. the impact can be seen already, with cracks in the road like this one, and damage like this that has happened at a golf course. now in terms of its location, grindavik is a very small town in the southwest of iceland, and it's around a0 km from the capital, reykjavik, to the southwest. now if i zoom back in, the volcano that everyone's worried about is located just here, so not far from grindavik at all. something else that isn't far from grindavik is the blue lagoon — the world famous tourist attraction is a thermal spa and was closed earlier this week as a precaution. last night, thousands of residents of grindavik spent a second night in temporary accommodation after they were evacuated because of the fears of a volcanic eruption. here's what some of them had to say. translation: this is| a very strange feeling.

i've been tearful, it's been a long 2a hours. even though it's been a very difficult time, it's heart—warming to see the solidarity in times like this. iceland is one of the most geographically volcanic regions in the world. it has over 30 active volcanoes — and this one in the recognised region was dormant for 800 years, until this eruption in 2021. now, although seismic activity in grindavik has decreased overnight, experts are warning that there is still a river of magma flowing beneath the peninsula that could burst through the earth's crust any day. demonstrators have gathered in parts of spain for the latest protests... ...against a plan to grant amnesties to leading catalan separatists in exchange for supporting a new term for the socialist— led government. the protests have been called by the centre—right people's party, which won elections injuly but couldn't form a government,

and the far—right vox party. they've denounced the deal as a betrayal of spain's national interest. people living near rome had a surprise last night, when a large male lion was spotted wandering past their homes, along residential streets. the animal had escaped from a nearby circus as sophia bettiza reports. last night, panic and astonishment in this italian town as a lion escaped from a local circus. the animal, known as kimba, was spotted by several people casually wandering the streets. the seaside town of ladispoli, north of rome, was placed on lockdown alert. the mayor warning its a0,000 residents to stay at home. the search was not easy. this footage taken from a police helicopter shows how tricky it was to spot the lion at nightfall. he was able to get away multiple

times, but after seven hours on saturday night, the authorities finally captured and sedated kimba. an investigation has been opened into how exactly this adult lion was able to escape from his cage. but the good news is that kimba didn't hurt anybody and he's doing well. sophia bettiza, bbc news. a dinner menu for first class passengers on board the titanic has sold at auction for £83,000 pounds. it's believed to be the only one in existence from the 11th of april 1912 — three days before the ship hit an iceberg and sank. the menu shows signs of water damage and reveals that passengers dined on shellfish, salmon and victoria pudding. stay with us here on bbc news.

hello. a damp, if not wet picture across many parts of the country this evening. and tomorrow, the met office warns a spell of stormy weather brought by storm debi, a fast developing weather system. it still hasn't fully formed yet. and in fact, keep track of the weather forecasts because weather warnings across parts of the country may be upgraded over the coming hours. now, this is the satellite picture. you can see the rain—bearing cloud here across the uk, and then to the southwest, that's developing storm debi moving across ireland, and then into the irish sea, and across northern britain through the course of monday morning and into the afternoon. and the rain will reach ireland through the early hours. it'll sweep into many parts of western britain here. by the end of the night, i think it's still dry in scotland, around 7—8 celsius, but that milder air and strengthening winds in place

across many western and south western parts of the uk. so it's a really nasty area of low pressure, a lot of isobars there. so very big pressure gradient and strong winds blowing around it. now in scotland, it will be windy, but i think the worst of the weather will be a little bit further south. so heavy rain, strong winds, gales inland, 60, maybe even 70mph, but particularly around the irish sea, could approach 80mph, and places like lancashire could bear the brunt of that stormy weather. and very windy inland as well, 60—70mph gusts, damaging, disruptive, dangerous for a time. as i say, keep track of the weather forecasts. this storm could really bring a punch across northern parts of the uk. to the south of that, it won't be quite as blustery, but windy enough. and in fact, there'll be some sunshine during the day across, say, the midlands and southern parts of england. so after a stormy monday, here's a look at tuesday's weather map. as one area of low pressure pulls away, another weather front takes its place. and it will be a very showery picture on tuesday, so there will be some sunny spells around as well.

temperatures will be in the range of around 10—13 celsius on tuesday. now, i want to pick up on the rainfall — it is going to be a wet week. where you see the darker blues, you get more rainfall, typically 20—a0 millimetres of rain. in some spots, quite a bit more than that. but i think in the short term, it's storm debi that you have to bear in mind that it's going to bring some very nasty weather across many parts of northern britain first thing in the morning and indeed through the afternoon on monday as well. bye— bye.

live from london. this is bbc news. israeli air strikes in southern gaza — our correspondent says there've been eight airstrikes around khan younis — with 23 people killed. the world health organization says it lost all contact with gaza's main hospital — hamas says it is suspending hostage negotiations because of the fighting there. seven people are charged after violence during armistice day protests in london. the home secretary thanks the police for their professionalism. and in france, thousands of people gather in paris to march against anti—semitism. hello, i'm samantha simmonds. the ability of hospitals in gaza to function appears increasingly

compromised this hour.
