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. 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. we'll have more detail in a moment. first this report from lucy williamson. the new map of gaza can't be trusted. safe places becoming empty spaces overnight. this was bani suheila 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 civilians grows. 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 bbc has managed to reach a surgeon inside al—shifa hospital in gaza. here's some of what marwan abu saada had to say about conditions there. 0k, we cannot say it can't be total darkness, really, without electricity, without fuel, without water, even without food. and still we are having more than 600 injured people and we are suffering now with our babies who are moved from our neonatal icu. we are talking about now about 36. it was 39. three of them lost their lives. two of them lost their life due to a lack of oxygen at the end of the night. it was a bombardment two days ago

to the main oxygen generator, and there were, a lack of oxygen. and today we lost another one baby, because of this atmosphere environment. i am afraid that we are going to lose all of these babies. we would like to move these babies to the outside gaza, to egypt, to keep them alive. because if we leave them like in this situation here in gaza, i think we will lose them all. we are besieged. we are under pressure from above, from the sky, by air of the israeli and shooting from the sea. we are like hostages. all of us are like in a big prison. and the israeli controlling the movement. 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 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 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. all 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 0wen 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 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.

they are also bombarded. tonight they are also bombarded. tonight they have bombarded the south several times and killed so many other people. it is a huge, unjustified war and attack on the civilian population of gaza, claiming it as an attack on hamas only. just minutes ago we received information from al—shifa hospital, that five infants had died, and incidence of other people in intensive care dying also because of lack of fuel and electricity and oxygen. figs lack of fuel and electricity and ox uen. �* , lack of fuel and electricity and ox ien, m 4' ., lack of fuel and electricity and ox uen. a ~ ., ,., oxygen. as you know, israel says that hamas _ oxygen. as you know, israel says that hamas has _ oxygen. as you know, israel says that hamas has a _ oxygen. as you know, israel says that hamas has a command - oxygen. as you know, israel says. that hamas has a command centre oxygen. as you know, israel says - that hamas has a command centre that operates under al—shifa hospital. they say they do all they can to try to minimise civilian casualties. they have also said that they left fuel outside, 300 litres of fuel outside, or nearby the al—shifa hospital, but it wasn't access. they say hamas are preventing that from happening. what do you understand

killing of civilians on one side does notjustify the killing 5000 children. this issue about 300 litres, let's correct the information. the israelis say they left 300 litres of fuel for the hospital and the hospital took it up in a certain area at two in the morning at night, and the 300 litres would not be enough for the generators for more than 15 minutes. the people did not refuse to take it, but they couldn't take them under the circumstances because it was very risky. it was a fighting area. they asked the red cross to intervene and bring them but the hospital needs 8000 litres every day. what is 300 litres do? the question is why israel does not allow fuel into gaza? this is the collective punishment. this is an act of collective punishment and they will justify it. act of collective punishment and they willjustify it. i will tell you the life. i5

still along way from that and they are still pushing through in northern gaza and they are going to have to do that in the area as well. hamas has the ability to surrender here and spare the suffering of the palestinian people. hamas brought this on the palestinian people, they could surrender their political leadership, the military leadership, and theirfighters can leadership, the military leadership, and their fighters can lay down arms. they declare war on israel by attacking israel in a most gruesome manner and no civilised country on this planet would accept that, except the israelis are expected to accept that. the israelis had a very long war ahead of them and the international community is beginning to put restrictions on them. if the israelis want to survive, both internally and externally, they need to continue to do the operation as they see fit, until hamas is either destroyed or surrenders. hosp they see fit, until hamas is either destroyed or surrenders.- they see fit, until hamas is either destroyed or surrenders. how do they mana . e destroyed or surrenders. how do they manage that. — destroyed or surrenders. how do they

the home secretary mrs braverman has been accused of inflaming tensions before the march after she branded pro—palestinian protesters "hate marchers". 0ur 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 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

while she does thank 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 beyond 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. 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. diwali celebrations have been taking place in india and across the world. this was the scene in mumbai with fireworks to mark the hindu festival of lights. more than one billion people are celebrating worldwide — it's also widely celebrated in nepal, malaysia, fiji and many other countries. that is it from me for the moment.

stay with us here on bbc news. plenty more coming up and you can reach me on social media. hello there. after a quiet couple of days things are looking a lot more unsettled now, suddenly the next 24 hours some of us could see stormy weather associated with storm debi. the met office have a number of warnings issued and some amber warnings issued and some amber warnings for severe girls across northern ireland which could be extended across the irish she and internal parts north—west england and scotland. storm debi is likely to affect most of the western side of the country through the night and certainly into monday morning, damaging winds and heavy rain, which was spread northwards. head online to check out all the latest weather warnings. here it is, secondary, small area of low pressure. the parent low moving northwards, but the impacts are being felt across the impacts are being felt across the republic of ireland during monday morning. heavy rain will spread northwards across all areas, and i'll start across the south, quite chilly in the north. a

blustery start all areas, that band of heavy rain will continue to spread northwards, eventually pushing into scotland as we head through the morning, particularly eastern scotland. the wind is really ramping up from around 60 onwards. gusts in excess of 60, 70 miles an hour. northern ireland, across coastal parts of north wales, north—west england, may even be higher than that. further south it will be blustery through the morning, but not quite as windy as further north. into the afternoon skies will brighten up for large parts of england and wales, with sunny spells and a few scattered showers. it will be noticeably mild, highs of 13 to 16 degrees in the south, 1911 further north. storm debi continues to pull away during monday evening into the north sea. then we are left with blustery conditions through monday night, scattered showers and clear spells. most of the shows in the north and west. again most places will be frost free. temperatures of five to 11 celsius. it stays quite unsettled as we had to tuesday. this area of low pressure sitting to the

north—west of the country will bring showers or longer spells of rain, maybe to northern ireland, certainly to western scotland. elsewhere, sunny spells, scattered blustery showers, most of the shower is pushing into western areas. a few eastern areas could see lengthier sunny spells will stop again it will feel quite mild, temperate as of around ten to 14 degrees. as we move through the week it looks like it will stay fairly unsettled. there is a chance of another spell of wet and windy weather perhaps across southern britain on thursday. certainly one to watch. to keep up—to—date with all the weather warnings

up-to-date with all the weather warnin: .., , can see 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. 145 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 of a volcanic eruption is rising iceland's president has said that no casualities have been recorded so far let's return to our top story . president biden's national security adviser has said the us does not want to see fighting in hospitals in gaza, after several of them, in the north, become a focus of the israeli offensive against hamas. the united nations says only 20 out gaza's 36 hospitals are still working. the largest of them, al—shifa, is without electricity while heavy fighting is raging around it. i've been speaking to mark regev, senior adviser to the israeli prime minister and former israeli ambassador to the uk — he responded to allegations the al shifa hospital in gaza 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 24 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 there were 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, yes, 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. who takes people? what sort of barbarians take babies hostage, abduct them and take them back to some dungeon in gaza? and uses their own babies, palestinian babies, as sheilds for their war machine. you can confirm that the israeli government, the idf, are doing everything they can to help evacuate those babies and keep them alive? exactly. you don't know how many and if it has happened? i don't have the details because the operation is ongoing. we will only announce

something once it is has been succesfully completed. we wouldn't talk about it for fear that hamas would try to obstruct it. as they have in past they have shot at humanitarian corridors to try to prevent people leaving. isn't it absurd hamas want gazans to die to protect their military machine? it really is an inversion. in normal countries like britain, you just commemorated remembrance day. in normal countries, the job of the military is to protect the civilians. hamas turns that upside down, they use their civilians to protect the military. it really is disgusting. let me ask you about the military operation. five weeks on the mission to destroy hamas, militarily what have you achieved? it's still a work in progress. we have achieved a lot. the mere fact that we are the very centre 0 fthe hamas military machine in gaza city 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. and in doing so, it won't be good just for us. it is notjust good for israel that we don't have to live in fear of this terrorist enclave on our southern border. it is good for the people of gaza who deserve better than this radical extreme, terrorist regime that does not care about the people of gaza. some breaking news now, we were talking earlier about concerns of this conflict spreading, we are hearing on the reuters news agency that the us secretary of defence has suggested the us has carried out air strikes on the israel line revolutionary guard and iran affiliated groups in response to

attacks against us personnel in iraq and syria. attacks against us personnel in iraq and s ria. .,, attacks against us personnel in iraq ands ria. . and syria. those were conducted auainst and syria. those were conducted against training _ and syria. those were conducted against training facilities - and syria. those were conducted against training facilities and - against training facilities and seahorses near the cities of i will come out and made an, they said their priority is the safety of us personnel and that today's action was directed to make sure that the united states will defend itself, its personnel, and its interests. that is coming from the reuters news agency, concerning us strikes against iran linked sites, this is actually in syria" from the us defence secretary lloyd austin. no doubt we would have more analysis on that throughout the programme. i spoke earlier with fikr shalltoot who is the gaza director of programmes at medical aid for palestinians who gave us the latest update on the hospitals in the conflict zone. the situation is really catastrophic at the moment. most of the hospital is actually

in gaza and the north of gaza are not operating right now, except for one hospital that is still working. the al—shifa hospital, which is the main compound that receive the vast majority of trauma patients in all gaza, right now is not able. the medical team is stuck and are unable to provide the minimum care needed for newborn babies and the critically ill patients in icu departments, given the lack of fuel and supplies, and being 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 or to provide necessary fuel to run the hospital and save the lives of these critically ill patients, including newborns. so far, actually, 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. fikr, it is cleary a desperate situation and we have spoken from representatives from the israeli government. they say they are doing all they can to try to get those babies out to try to get them to safety, to get them to other incubators. do you know anything about that? honestly, there is no safe place. there is no place to take these babies to. as you know, the gaza hospitals

are overwhelmed with the number of patients they already have. the hospitals in khan younis and in the south of gaza already have enough numbers and they don't have enough beds to accommodate the critically ill and the newborn babies. most of the other hospitals in gaza city, including these two hospitals have neonatal units, but unfortunately the 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 difficult 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, for these patients, to manage to survive,... fikr, i want to ask you about situation surrounding al—shifa, which israel says underneath it is the command centre hamas. you are gaza director of programmes at medical aid for palestinians. is it possible to tell us anything about that, given that i imagine you have been there, and what can you tell us about those claims? we have been working in al—shifa hospitals and other hospitals for the last 15 years. we have been bringing medical teams from the uk. we have been working on all the different departments

in al—shifa hospital, including neuro and neonatal departments, the physiotherapy unit, the surgical department. in all these units we have never witnessed anything unusual. we have been working with all professional medicalteams, doctors, nurses, physios, lab technicians. this is what we have been able to see all these years. i also spoke to jada mckenna, ceo of the humanitarian and aid organisation mercy corps. i started by asking her what she would like to see happen in gaza now no matter what you call it, cease fire or pause, none of it is effective or safe unless these things are unilaterally agreed to, there has been proper planning put 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 that humanitarian aid workers need. the difficulty is, israel argues, that hamas would also have to agree to a cease—fire. it needs to be unilaterally agreed to with all parties, including coordination of aid organisations to help in the planning so we can do the delivery those services. do you feel they are at a stage where that can happen, given that israel says there won't be a cease—fire until the 240 hostages taken into gaza by hamas are freed, they're released? there are 2.3 million people

in imminent danger in gaza. they have already lost so many children, women have been lost in this conflict. we urge the cease—fire, and no comment on other preconditions that need to be put on that cease—fire, but we are trying to save lives, and get people desperately needed fuel and water. if you think about things, you can't heat up dry food for water. lactating and pregnant women need three times the average daily amount of water that's required. water is a basic necessity to survive. what is your assessment of the aid that has been allowed in so far? very insufficient. prior to the conflict, we had 500 trucks a day going into gaza. i think in the week and a half that the trucks have been allowed in there have been 800 total. so it is very insufficient. in addition, a lot of things that

are normally provided on those aid convoys, such as dried goods, or hospital goods, aren't operational without food and water, they can't be used. more importantly, there has been no zone of safety for aid workers to do their work, and for people to get that aid. so while the supplies that come out have been able to been distributed, is not enough. you are speaking to us from washington and the us government is israel's closest ally. do you feel they are doing enough to try and bring this about? we have been advocating on all levels in the us and internationally for the required conditions for us to do our work, which include a cease—fire, a resumption of basic things like fuel and electricity, and a dramatic step up in safety considerations for aid workers, and the ability for people to return. that is our consistent message to everyone,

and we have been clear that what has been happening to date is not enough. tjada mckenna from joining us from washington. tens of thousands of people have marched through central paris in a demonstration against anti—semitism. the speakers of the two houses of parliament called for a display of solidarity after a steep rise in anti—semitic actions following the october 7 attacks by hamas and the israeli response. for the first time a march attended by representatives of the major parties also included the far—right�*s marine le pen. 0ur correspondent hugh schofield has the details. difficult to put a number on how many people have turned out here at the invalide in central paris for this march against anti—semitism. let's just say that the invalide, which is a big space, is chock—a—block, and they're moving off behind me now in the direction of the river and along to the senate building on the other side of town. i spoke to many people here. it's a diverse mix. there are, of course, many, manyjews here, but many, 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. let's go back to our main story here in the uk. the home secretary, suella braverman, has stepped up her condemnation of pro—palestinian marches, in spite of mounting questions about her political future. ms braverman said that week by week, 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. ( sor tx) 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 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. 0ur 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. before we go let us bring you these amazing pictures of an unusual ice skating experience in an ice lake in alaska.

this footage showed people skating on the frozen and translucent lake, revealing huge rocks in the bottom. the weather conditions allowed the rabbit lake, in the alpine area near anchorage, to freeze in a way that maintained the ice thickness suitable for skating on it. and i've been skating for about 12 years up here, and this is...i've never seen it like that. so this was a very unusual, sort of unusual environmental conditions. the combination of being able to look down three or four metres and see what's on the bottom, i've never experienced that in the 12 years that i've been doing this. i think what was so special about this ice is that, because it's up in the alpine, it's up in the mountains, the lake bottom doesn't have any vegetation and it's rock instead of soil. and so the water is really clear.

that's it for me, thank you for watching. hello there. after a quiet couple of days, things are looking a lot more unsettled now. certainly for the next 24 hours, some of us could see a stormy spell of weather associated with storm debi. met office have a number of warnings issued and some amber warnings for severe gales across northern ireland, which could be extended across the irish sea into parts of north west england and southwest scotland. now, storm debi is likely to affect much of the western side of the country through the night and certainly into monday morning. damaging winds and heavy rain, which will spread northwards. head online to check out all the latest weather warnings. here it is, a secondary small area of low pressure, close to the parent low, moving northwards. but the biggest impacts will be felt across the republic of ireland during monday morning. but heavy rain will spread northwards across all areas. and a mild start across the south, quite chilly in the north. a blustery start to all areas, that band of heavy rain will continue to spread northwards,

eventually pushing into scotland as we move through the morning, particularly eastern scotland. but the winds really ramping up from around 6am onwards, gusts in excess of 60—70mph. northern ireland, across coastal parts of north wales, northwest england, maybe even higher than that, 70—80mph exposure. further south, it will be blustery through the morning, but not quite as windy as it will be further north. and into the afternoon, skies will brighten up for large parts of england and wales, with sunny spells and a few scattered showers. and it will be noticeably mild, highs of 13—16 celsius in the south, 9—11 celsius further north. storm debi continues to pull away during monday evening into the north sea. then we're left with blustery conditions through monday night, scattered showers and clear spells. most of the showers in the north and the west. and, again, most places will be frost—free, temperatures of 5—11 celsius. it stays quite unsettled as we head into tuesday, this area of low pressure sitting to the northwest of the country will bring showers or longer spells of rain maybe to northern ireland,

certainly to western scotland. elsewhere, it's sunny spells, scattered, blustery showers. most of the showers pushing into western areas. a few eastern areas could see lengthier, sunny spells. and again, it'll feel quite mild — temperatures of around 10—14 celsius. as we move through the week, it looks like it'll stay fairly unsettled. there is a chance of another spell of wet and windy weather perhaps across southern britain on thursday. certainly one to watch. but keep up to date with all the weather warnings with regards to storm debi.

welcome to newsday. reporting live from singapore, i'm monica miller. the headlines... gaza's hospital crisis — officials say they've been forced to move premature babies from incubators into ordinary beds. but israel says this shows it is supplying fuel for gaza's biggest hospital. we'll have a special report on where all this is leading. perhaps the biggest question is, what happens in gaza the day after? who is going to be in charge? israeli occupiers? an internationalforce? palestinians — if so, which palestinians? the uk's home secretary, suella braverman, says some chanting at saturday's pro—palestinian march was "sick and clearly criminal". iceland's government declares a state of emergency

and orders evacuations, with the chance of a
