israel says it's coordinating the transfer of incubators to gaza, but it's unclear whether hospitals will have enough power for the extra equipment. lam i am live overlooking gaza where israel's military says its troops are inside the parliament in gaza and have seized hamas institutions. a secret met police report uncovered by the bbc claims that a senior officer involved in the stephen lawrence murder case was corrupt. the bbc says it's received two further complaints about the comedian russell brand since it launched an investigation into his time at the corporation. iceland evacuates thousands of residents after warning of a considerable risk of volcanic eruption. and a royal gun salute to mark the 75th birthday of king charles.

hello, i'm lucy hockings. welcome to bbc news now. the head of gaza's biggest hospital says nearly 180 people are being buried in a mass grave there after it ran out of fuel. fighting between the israeli military and hamas continues around the al—shifa hospital. that's prompted growing international concern, with president biden saying he wants "less intrusive action". medical staff at al—shifa say the lives of 36 premature babies are hanging in the balance. this is an image of some — made public by the hospital on sunday. it said they had been placed on a bed after the fuel ran out to power the generators to keep their incubators going. their current condition is not known, although a hospital spokesperson on monday said three of the original 39 babies had died. israel insists it is only targeting hamas, and that their command centre is in tunnels beneath the hospital. it has also released these images, which it

says are of incubators which it is offering to supply to al—shifa hospital. but there is no indication yet that the medical equipment has been delivered. and in another development, israel's army has confirmed the death of a 19—year—old female soldier who was being held hostage by hamas in gaza. live now to southern israel and my colleague mark lowen. thanks very much. the israeli military has now released a photograph of its soldiers inside the parliament in gaza and it says it has taken control of parliament and has control of some other hamas institutions. that gives you a sense ofjust how deep now israeli control is inside gaza city and in the last few hours or so the un has confirmed that 200,000 more civilians have fled south in gaza since november the 5th. there is this tide of humanity as the fighting continues over gaza. we have heard a lot of it

today with intense israeli air strikes over gaza and artillery as well from the israeli side and we heard bursts of machine—gun fire as well. in the south of gaza, around khan younis, is our correspondence whojoined as a khan younis, is our correspondence who joined as a little earlier to give us the situation on the ground. at the al—shifa hospital the situation is still very tense and remains the same with access in and out of the hospital, it has been shut completely. people inside were trying to escape yesterday. we were getting word from the remaining journalists inside, four of them were shot in their legs and were unable to leave. inside the hospital today, like a mass grave of 170 people were buried, 70 were in the morgue but there is no electricity to keep the morgue in a suitable situation for the bodies. 100 were evacuated from a nearby school three days ago and today they have decided to bury them

inside the hospital, the hamas—run health ministry is saying they have dug a mass grave and they have put them in the grave. the last call i made to our contact inside the hospital, he said movement within buildings of the hospital is dangerous. what about having to evacuate thousands of people? he said it used to be in that hospital about 115,000 people sheltering, but before the israelis are surrounding the hospital many of them left, but there will still be a few thousand people inside. also the patients are inside, about 400 patients. some of them need to be connected to the ventilator, to the life—saving machines in the hospital. no electricity, no water and very few medical kits to save lives are left in the hospital. the situation is very tense and very dangerous around the largest medical centre in the entire gaza strip.

rushdi abualouf in southern gaza. the un says gaza's health system is in "total collapse", with 22 of the 36 hospitals in the territory now unable to function due to what it says is a lack of fuel, damage, attacks and insecurity. whilst that is happening, it's estimated 160 children are being born every day. that is despite the fact expectant mothers do not have the care and delivery supplies they need in hospitals. working with freelance journalist majdi fathi in gaza, our correspondent yogita limaye reports from jerusalem on what it's like to give birth in gaza. baby crying born in a precarious world, this little boy is one day old, still to be named. his parents fled bombings in gaza city. under the stress of war, he has been born prematurely and needs help to breathe.

in the next bed, a four—day—old girl, who's critical. there's been no time to name her either, and they're running out of medicines which could treat her. incubators are still on at the al—aqsa hospital in central gaza, but the fighting is drawing closer. this is hassan, named by hospital staff. both his parents were killed in bombings. he was found cradled in his mother's arms. it's a painful time in gaza. it's excruciating for new mothers. four days ago, keifeia's baby girl was born. she was heavily pregnant when she was forced to flee her home. translation: i've had to run more than once, j walking under the constant threat

of being bombed. i saw people's bodies being ripped apart. i faced extreme exhaustion and was scared for my baby's life. at hospital, i got no painkillers while giving birth. asma has walked with her three children for more than 15 miles. she's pregnant. this is refuge, in a hospital compound. "my children sleep on the sheet, i sleep on the ground," she says. "so many women suffered miscarriages due to the terrifying sound of the explosions. i was scared i'd lose my baby. sometimes, ifelt like i couldn't feel my baby move," she says. "i had to carry my child and our bags. my children have been exposed to such horrors. dead bodies, cars bombed, with people inside."

this is what she now faces, along with hundreds of thousands. people who had homes and jobs, boys and girls who had a childhood, struggling for a few drops of water. yogita limaye, bbc news, jerusalem. the desperate situation of being born into gaza today. meanwhile concern is growing ever more for the plight of the more than 30 premature babies inside al—shifa hospital who are now without an incubator. the israeli military says it has offered incubator to be hospital but the issue from the hospital point of view is the supply of fuel and how to transport those babies with one route only going out of gaza into egypt. 0ur reporter abdelbassir hassan has been monitoring the situation from cairo.

i have been told by the spokesman of the health ministry here in cairo that the egyptian hospitals — whether here in cairo or el—arish, in northern sinai, close to rafah — are fully prepared and ready to receive any kind of patients coming from the enclave, and they have already received dozens of them over the last ten days. as for the babies issue, he told me that there could be, like, a need for a special mechanism, a special arrangement to be reached in advance, which is out of his jurisprudence, as he said, between the concerned parts here in cairo or in gaza — the united nations organisations or the palestinian red crescent, or even in israel — to settle this mechanism and to know how the babies will be moved to the crossing. once they are at the crossing, he said there are ambulances

which is on alert, ready to take them to the nearest hospitals in el—arish. a manager with the egyptian red crescent society — which is responsible for the transfer of assistance and aid and dealing with the issue of the wounded coming from gaza — told the bbc that there were no talks or discussions over the issue of the babies over the last 2a hours with any parts. however, he assured also that his society and the hospitals on the egyptian side are ready to take any babies coming from the gaza side. over the last ten days, egypt has already received, like, 20 children from gaza diagnosed with cancer, as the spokesman of the health ministry told the bbc.

of course, the trauma is deep on both sides of this conflict, both on the ground in gaza but also among israelis who are desperately waiting for news of their loved ones, around 1200 people of course murdered by hamas on the 7th of october and almost 240 is still held hostage. let's get the latest now from our correspondent injerusalem, nick beake. there have been some rallies and marches today regarding the release of hostages by the families, tell us what has been going on. yes. of hostages by the families, tell us what has been going on.— of hostages by the families, tell us what has been going on. yes, for the families, they _ what has been going on. yes, for the families, they are _ what has been going on. yes, for the families, they are trying _ what has been going on. yes, for the families, they are trying to _ what has been going on. yes, for the families, they are trying to keep - what has been going on. yes, for the families, they are trying to keep up l families, they are trying to keep up the pressure on the israeli government. a lot of the families we have been hearing from it so they do not think the strategy is right, in other words they think the priority should be trying to secure the release of the hostages rather than pursuing and consolidating the ground offensive that the israeli troops are carrying out. of course benjamin netanyahu, the prime minister, says the way they will get hostages back quicker is through

israel really governing down on its military offensive and through showing strength and making progress and taking out more hamas fighters, that will increase the likelihood of achieving hostages, but as i say, a lot of families simply think that is not the right strategy. find lot of families simply think that is not the right strategy.— not the right strategy. and what about reports — not the right strategy. and what about reports of— not the right strategy. and what about reports of this _ not the right strategy. and what about reports of this hostage i about reports of this hostage release deal, talks are still ongoing of course, we have been here before in recent days when we think hostage release deal for both sides is in the offing and then nothing comes to fruition, what are we hearing about the shape of a potential hostage release deal on both sides?— both sides? yes, you are right, rumours have _ both sides? yes, you are right, rumours have been _ both sides? yes, you are right, rumours have been swelling . both sides? yes, you are right, - rumours have been swelling around now for weeks. you might remember thatjust before the ground invasion took place, when israel really sent all those troops into gaza, there were reports of a deal was imminent. 0bviously that did not come to fruition. the latest we are hearing, and remember these talks are being mediated or certainly qatar, the

gulf state, is involved heavily in them, the latest we are hearing is from the hamas political side and basically the suggestion would be that maybe 50 to 70 of the hostages could be released. what is this dependent on? it is harder to speak with real certainty on this, but certainly some within hamas have been suggesting that israel would have to release at say 200 children, 75 women, as part of this, but i think the figures can be misleading because dependent on this would be a ceasefire and the problem is benjamin netanyahu has said hostages won't be, for the hostages to be released, when it comes to a ceasefire, there needs to be the hostages released first. that comes first and then israel will drawback or there may be a lull in the fighting. as it stands, there is not a clear path to these hostages are being released. hick

a clear path to these hostages are being released.— a clear path to these hostages are being released. nick keeping an eye on everything _ being released. nick keeping an eye on everything from _ being released. nick keeping an eye on everything from jerusalem, - being released. nick keeping an eye| on everything from jerusalem, thank on everything from jerusalem, thank you very much indeed for your latest thoughts. benjamin netanyahu is increasingly being pulled in different directions as you heard there by the families of hostages to do more but also from the international community to try to pause fighting. the israeli foreign minister spokesman has said the country and his words has two to three weeks until the international pressure really steps up, and acknowledgement their on the growing pressure on israel to do something to give some relief at least to the people on the ground in gaza. we will continue to bring you all the latest across this region but for now i hand you back to lucy in london. ., ~ now i hand you back to lucy in london. ., ,, , ., around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. let's look at some other stories making news. scientists advising the uk government have recommended that two doses of the chickenpox vaccine should be given to all children — at 12 and 18 months of age.

thejoint committee on vaccination and immunisation says data from other countries suggests the vaccine would dramatically reduce the circulation of chickenpox, and prevent the most severe cases in children. new figures show uk wages outstripped inflation by the largest margin in two years, but the rate at which they're growing is starting to slow. average earnings rose by 7.7% in the three months to september, compared with the same period a year ago. unemployment stood at 4.2%. a bbc investigation has found a black market trade in delivery app accounts that's allowing under—age teenagers to sign up as riders. the home office has urged deliveroo, just eat and uber eats, to reform policies that let riders lend their accounts to others without any identity checks. you're live with bbc news. here in the uk, a secret metropolitan police report from the year 2000 has been

uncovered by the bbc, claiming that a senior officer involved in the stephen lawrence murder case was corrupt. the document says ray adams was cleared by a corruption probe which relied on false testimony from a man linked to the family of one of stephen's killers. the revelation contradicts years of police denial about the role of corrupt officers in the case. daniel de simone reports. the spectre of police corruption has long haunted the stephen lawrence murder. for three decades, scotland yard kept the secret we now expose. the met knew about it, that's what's so shocking. today we reveal a met police report concluded that a senior officer involved in the case, ray adams, was corrupt. the early failure to bring stephen's killers to justice has led to suspicion that corruption infected the investigation. the father of one killer was clifford norris, a gangsterfrom a criminalfamily known for suspicious contact with police. the public inquiry into the murder probed the issue.

it didn't find corruption. somebody contacted us this morning... ray adams, a former commander, appeared as a witness. but i've now seen a secret scotland yard report into the stephen lawrence case that concludes ray adams was corrupt. it says ray adams was cleared by a flawed corruption probe which relied on lies from an informant linked to the family headed by the father of one of stephen's killers. it says a totally fictitious account by the informant was used to discredit a witness against ray adams. the informant must have been coached by ray adams or another officer, and this amounted to flagrant acts of attempting to pervert the course of justice. the public inquiry into the murder didn't hear about this evidence from the informant. the barrister who represented stephen's family says the information would have been key. the met seem to have covered up the true nature of adams,

so they must have known what he was really like, so that his reputation was protected. it would have made, in my view, a very substantial difference. the witness discredited by the informant was criminal james malone, who'd made comments apparently suggesting he'd paid ray adams. i was on trial at the london sessions... the informant said that he'd heard malone boast of making false corruption claims about adams. but the secret report says this was a lie, there was no link between the informant and malone. i tracked down the other man said by the informant to have heard malone admit to making false claims about ray adams. the man told me he'd never seen or met malone and the met police have never even asked him about the informant�*s account. the secret report says there was no evidence ray adams influenced the murder inquiry. stephen's family now want further investigation by the met.

the bbc is doing itsjob, investigating what happened in stephen's case. so there is a real need to look at this. and if there is a tiny scintilla of that happening, the met should take it up with open arms. ray adams says he's asked the met to appoint a senior officer to investigate the serious allegations against him. the met didn't answer my questions. the force says it will review the material before deciding whether any further action is required. stephen's family want justice and the full truth. daniel de simone, bbc news. the bbc has issued an update on its review into the conduct of comedian and broadcaster russell brand, while he was working at the bbc. the allegations include inappropriate behaviour in the workplace, and innapropriate use of bbc cars. mr brand denies any wrongdoing. with me is our media correspondent david sillito. what have we learnt from this

the dispatches programme there was an allegation by one moment his head an allegation by one moment his head a relationship began when she was 16 and she had been ferried around by car is backed by the bbc system. the bbc says it has looked at this, there are no records that can confirm or deny so they cannot make any further comment about the veracity of those particular claims. however, this is an interim report, the bbc are still asking people to come forward if they have any information about the matter. now — a story that reads like a novel, but which has resolved a mystery more than three decades old. it all started with a british woman who went missing and it ended when herfamily were able to indentify her remains from a photograph of her tattoo, placed on the interpol website. rita roberts had not been heard from since 1992. it's now emerged that it was her body which was found in antwerp in belgium, just a month later. sadly, she had been murdered.

the crime has never been solved. let's talk now to stephen kavanagh, the interpol�*s head of police services, who isjoining me live in lyon, france. good to see you. this is quite a case, tell us a bit about the background to it.— case, tell us a bit about the back round to it. , ., ., , background to it. yes, unfortunately one of many — background to it. yes, unfortunately one of many cases. _ background to it. yes, unfortunately one of many cases. we _ background to it. yes, unfortunately one of many cases. we listened - background to it. yes, unfortunately one of many cases. we listened to l one of many cases. we listened to some of our member countries, belgian colleagues, the netherlands, germany, and what we realised was that global scourge of violence against women has gone on for so many years that there were 22 unidentified women who had come to harm in often tragic and awful circumstances between 1976 to 2019 and we were determined to try and help support those member countries and of course those poor women who had come to such awful ends to try and identify them and bring closure to theirfamilies. interpol and identify them and bring closure to their families. interpol was able to their families. interpol was able to launch together with those three countries the initiative identify at me, putting out key information, clothing, jewellery and in this case at her to, to try and help bring

notices but we also had black notices and they identify people who have come to harm, bodies, so we can try and make those links globally and this is an exciting opportunity for us, we have done it with three countries but we want identify those other 21 individuals who have come to untimely deaths and bring some closure to their families too. do ou closure to their families too. do you think this is a case that will ever be solved? are you asking for people to come forward if they have more information? what happens now? yes, interpol is here to connect member countries, 195 across the world, but we do so notjust bring closure to the family, we send our condolences to the family and our thoughts and wishes to thank you to the bbc for bringing it to the nation because micro—attention, but we also commit to trying to find out who would commit such an awful murder and i know the belgian authorities are committed to find out what happened to rita and we will do we can to support them in doing so. will do we can to support them in doini so. ., ~ will do we can to support them in doini so. ., ,, i. , will do we can to support them in doini so. ., ~ ,, , . will do we can to support them in doini so. ., ~ , . ., doing so. thank you very much for “oinini doing so. thank you very much for joining us. — doing so. thank you very much for joining us, interesting _ doing so. thank you very much for joining us, interesting to - doing so. thank you very much for joining us, interesting to hear- doing so. thank you very much for joining us, interesting to hear and| joining us, interesting to hear and good there is some closure if rita's family this time.

more than 500 earthquakes were recorded in south—west iceland on monday — shaking houses, damaging roads, and leading to hundreds of evacuations. the tremors indicate a volcanic eruption may happen in the next few days. a nearby town has already been evacuated. an eruption of another volcano in 2010 led to the cancellation of tens of thousands of flights. we are seeing pictures of this evacuation taking place along that road there and you can see from the cracks the magma underneath the surface damaging these roads already bit back in 2010 there were tens of thousands of flights cancelled but experts at the moment do not believe a repeat of that disruption is likely this time. but none the less, very concerning and very worrying of course by people who are there and have had to be moved. do stay with us here on bbc news.

hello there. good afternoon. it's very mild at the moment for this point in november. you can see the mild air marked in yellow on our air mass chart here, but that mild air clears away to be replaced by something cooler as we head through the next couple of days. then the mild air makes another return, with some very unsettled conditions as we head into the weekend. into the start of next week we draw in more of a northerly wind, so again the map likely to turn bluer. this is the pressure chart for today. you can see those heavy, thundery showers clearing away gradually from the south coast of england. it's been a very wet start to the day here, but still possibly some more showers lingering on for a time through the afternoon. scattered showers, sunny spells developing from the west across much of england and wales, it does stay quite blustery here, particularly towards the south coast. scattered showers, sunny spells for northern ireland. more cloud, outbreaks of rain across much of scotland but perhaps some brighter skies towards the far north. temperatures a little lower for most than they were yesterday.

through this evening and overnight, again the cloud, the rain continues across much of scotland. some clear skies perhaps to the far north here, maybe a touch of frost in sheltered glens for tomorrow morning. largely dry further south across much of england and wales. you can see on tuesday night into wednesday the area of low pressure clears away into the north sea once again. so these weather fronts starting to slip a little further southwards and weakening, perhaps some showery outbreaks of rain across parts of northern ireland, stretching down into lincolnshire as we head through the afternoon, but a ridge of high pressure building in from the south and the west, so much of england and wales should stay dry, feeling a little cooler, there will be quite a lot of sunshine around with lighter winds. so maybe a more widespread frost on wednesday night into thursday for certainly a few spots, and then weather fronts pushing from the south and west as we head through thursday morning. there is still a lot of uncertainty particularly regarding this rain towards the south, but it's quite likely that we're all going to be seeing some wet

and some windy weather as the day wears on. temperatures are lower than they have been, high single figures in scotland, 11 to 13 celsius further south, but we are going to start to draw in that milder air again as we see this deep area of low pressure approach from the south—west, so turning wetter and windier with perhaps coastal gales by the end of the day on friday. bye—bye for now.

us prices hold steady in october, but does it mean the fed can ease off on raising interest rates? and we examine the loophole in delivery app accounts that have sparked a black market for users. welcome to world business report. we've been keeping a close eye on rising prices around the world as the scourge of inflation dents consumer spending and confidence. it's also forced central banks to make successive rate rises to tame prices. but, within the hour, we've learned that us consumer prices held steady in the month

of october, bringing annualised inflation down sharply to 3.2% % over the past 12 months.
