in the attack on the were killed in the attack on the jabalia refugee camp. people continue to leave northern gaza on foot even as tanks mobilise around them. the idf denies it ordered an evacuation of the hospital, saying it was asked to provide a �*secure route' out. the families of israeli hostages held in gaza continue their march from tel aviv to jerusalem. they want to put pressure on the israeli government to secure the release of their loved ones. four, three, two, one... and lift off... sort of. space x's starship rocket takes off from boca chica in texas, but says it has lost contact with the booster during the second stage of the flight and is �*presuming rocket failure'. hello, iam hello, i am christian fraser. a un—run school in northern gaza has been hit. it is believed to have been used

as a shelter for displaced people. the hamas—run health ministry says at least 50 people were killed. it says at least 80 people were killed in the two blasts. the second blast the health ministry said 32 people from one family, including 19 children, were killed. we of course cannot confirm those figures, but we will shortly put those claims to a spokesman from the israeli defence forces. hundreds of people have been leaving gaza city's al—shifa hospital on foot, with doctors saying israeli forces had issued by loudspeaker an order to evacuate. the israeli military has denied this. it said it had agreed to expand and assist an evacuation, following a request by the hospital's director. we've just had these pictures in from central gaza. newsagency afp says they show palestinians evacuated from al—shifa hospital, heading south.

you will see there in the background there tanks. we don't know how far this was recorded from the hospital. the israeli military says her hamas has a command centre in the tunnels below al—shifa. something that hamas has consistently denied. as well as patients had medical staff, large numbers of displaced people were sheltering in that hospital. 0ur middle east correspondent, tom bateman, has more from jerusalem. gaza's biggest hospital, al—shifa. a report from the scene said an evacuation of many remaining staff and patients was instructed this morning. the israeli military denies it's ordered people out, calling it a request from the hospital, but saying there is an expanded evacuation. israeli tanks surround the compound. the army claims it is a hamas command centre. it has yet to show evidence of this, but has shown pictures of some weapons it says it found this week.

many inside, badly wounded, will not be able to move. a british surgeon who has worked frequently in gaza has had contact with doctors at al—shifa over recent weeks. they are working under the most appallingly hostile conditions. the patients that are being evacuated, it is almost inconceivable to me that they will survive. this notion that they will be evacuated to a safe area is a ludicrous notion, if you ask me. the roads are almost impassable, there are no functioning hospitals in gaza at the moment. near another hospital in northern gaza, bodies were gathered from what residents say was heavy israeli bombardment overnight. and in the south, supposedly safer, more scenes of destruction. at least 32 people were killed here in the city of khan younis, say doctors. now israel is warning parts of the city will become a new focus

of its war with hamas, telling some of the displaced from the north to move again. people fear more devastation like that of last night. translation: their bodies are in pieces. three missiles hit the building. they had nothing to do with the militants and no militants were there. they were all children and girls. aid groups are worried about disease spreading now, with gaza's humanitarian crisis deepening. people desperate for bread. the un says they face the immediate possibility of starvation in gaza after the supply chain for aid collapsed. now, to get it moving again, two tankers of fuel a day will enter after us pressure on israel. but relief groups say it is still not enough. meanwhile, there are growing worries about the potential for a security collapse in gaza, with few signs of a plan

after the fighting. the americans do not want israeli boots on the ground in the long term. there may have to be a transitional period where security is provided for gaza. that's something we have to look at. but when it comes to the future of gaza, in ourjudgment, it has to be under palestinian governance. an israeli leaflet drop took place over southern gaza. they offer incentives and protection for information about the hostages held by hamas. in israel, marchers reached jerusalem, demanding the return of nearly 240 captives, including children and the elderly. their destination is the office of prime minister benjamin netanyahu, who is under growing pressure. six weeks after the hamas attacks that sparked this war, the bloodshed and uncertainty

only intensifies. i should stress again that we always put some caution around the numbers that we are reporting on here because we don't have independent eyesin because we don't have independent eyes in jabal because we don't have independent eyes injabal you. we are piecing together reports from various news agencies that are in gaza and reporting. 0ur correspondent tom bateman has been looking at the same report and gave us this update. remember that those un facilities had early on in the war become designated shelters for palestinians. they are not reinforced buildings, they are schools, but they are the designated shelters and supposed to be so—called the d conflicted. civilians were inside. what has happened over the past weeks is as the un has had to focus its operations on the south of the gaza

strip because they know has become the operational focus of the fighting, and is effectively being split from the south of the gaza strip. the un had to abandon formerly its operations in the north of the strip. so it said it wasn't formally able to offer any services to those many tens of thousands of people sheltering in schools. this is one of those schools. it has had people sheltering in it and what appears to have happened is, as you say, we see images that are still being verified by the bbc that appear to show many casualties in one of those schools in the refugee camp. we were in contact this morning with a doctor at the indonesian hospital, which is very close by, he ate described in his words are hard attack by israeli forces in the area. they had many bodies coming in, so it seems that if this is the same event that there

are many casualties, potentially, in the strike there. plenty of news lines coming in from gaza today. we will try to get a response from the israeli side on what we are hearing. live now to lt col peter lerner, a spokesman for the israel defense forces. thank you for coming in to talk to us. are reporting that we are looking at is that there were two strikes on schools in the area of the refugee camp. the figures are coming from the hamas run health ministry in gaza and they say that “p ministry in gaza and they say that up to 80 people have been killed. we are still trying to verify the videos that are being sent on social media. what can you tell us about the idf operation in those areas? thank you, christian. i cannot confirm this incident as the idf but we are seeing images like you are seeing images on social media and we are looking into it. i cannot confirm at this stage that faces idf, but we are looking into it. fair enough. let's talk about the

al—shifa hospital. there conflicting reports today the director of the hospital says they were ordered by loudspeaker to evacuate, i have seen your statement that says you were responding to an evacuation request. how can you interpret those two contradictory statements? i how can you interpret those two contradictory statements? i think we need to listen _ contradictory statements? i think we need to listen to _ contradictory statements? i think we need to listen to what _ contradictory statements? i think we need to listen to what the _ need to listen to what the administrator was speaking. and i were statement we issued a recording of the conversation between our officer and the administration of the hospital that actually says very clearly we are asking to leave. so from our perspective, there is no question. we have been encouraging people to leave, the hospital premises for many weeks now. precisely to get them out of hands way. we have seen last night again when they said they would like to leave because of the military presence in the compound, we said we would coordinated for the morning and that is what we have been doing since this morning. it is important to get people out of hands way. that is what the idf has been trying to do since the beginning of this

conflict. it is a huge challenge for any professional military operating in such a hostile environment where terrorists utilise tunnels to come out and launch rpg is and they do it from places like hospitals, like schools, like mosques. wherever they can take advantage of the humanitarian and civilian arena. clearly some patients cannot be moved. so serious are their injuries. we are told around 120 remain including premature babies. there are five medical staff. we have spoken to the world health organization in the last hour who said they have no details that the israel defense forces are providing support and medical care to those who are left behind. what can you tell us be cost effectively now, given that there has been this evacuation, you are responsible for those patients, are you not? the medical staff. — those patients, are you not? tue: medical staff, some those patients, are you not? tte: medical staff, some medical those patients, are you not? tt2 medical staff, some medical staff, have remained in the hospital to care for patients. i can say that of the last few days and including over last night we have maintained a flow of supplies and food supplies,

being very cautious in order not to jeopardise ourforces being very cautious in order not to jeopardise our forces security. we don't want to rush into a tunnel that could be booby—trapped. we are revealing more and more of this infrastructure every day that goes by. we are seeing how deep into the belly of this war machine it goes. 0nce belly of this war machine it goes. once we have a safe access, once we have more visuals, we will of course reveal those to the world. i understand the need and the pressure and the understanding that the media want to see it now, immediately, but the matters of war and operational security sometimes aren't necessarily in sync with the need of the media battle space. this is a challenge that we face. the the media battle space. this is a challenge that we face.— the media battle space. this is a challenge that we face. the un w r communication _ challenge that we face. the un w r communication director _ challenge that we face. the un w r communication director said - challenge that we face. the un w r communication director said she - challenge that we face. the un w r | communication director said she has beenin communication director said she has been in touch with her staff inside gaza today when communications were restored and said they have no fuel this week to is redistribute the eight coming across. there is barely enough to pump the water and sewage. who is going to feed the 1.5 million

there's a dramatic risk that the pressure will build up to such an extent that people will simply break through the border with egypt, and we may see a mass forced displacement into egypt in the coming days or weeks. and with the changing weather, temperatures dropping, heavy rainfall, the situation will become truly, truly catastrophic. there are others who wonder if that is the strategy, to make things so miserable that the people leave, enabling you to finish the job. t enabling you to finish the job. i can tell you that in my early military cumbria as a young junior officer i was actually a humanitarian officer coordinating and liaising with organisations like the international committee of the red cross. the idf is operating on the ground in order to alleviate the humanitarian situation. we are doing it together with organisations like the red cross and the un w ra and we

understand... i would say the humanitarian mission goes hand—in—hand with the operational mission, that it is important to understand the most important component of this war, that hamas never have the power ever again to govern the gaza strip as a staging ground for terrorism. it is then that brought this tragedy, the human tragedy, and precisely the tragedy that your interviewee yesterday pointed out. it is because of hamas and their actions that we are where we are today. the 7th of october can never be allowed to happen ever again. this is a reality. israel is determined to dismantle and destroy hamas as a terrorist organisation, and i would actually say that un and unrwa have to be part of the solution not part of the problem. fin solution not part of the problem. on that issue we are hugely concerned about the hostages. we spoke yesterday to a member of one family and you will be aware that the match is descending on a premise to netanyahu's office and will arrive tomorrow. the other royal theme of

what they are saying is that they are not getting enough information and secondly that they don't believe that the military operation is going to bring back their loved ones. they think it is through negotiation. what would you say to those families who want a response from the idf and government?— government? families of 240 people in israel government? families of 240 people in israel have — government? families of 240 people in israel have been _ government? families of 240 people in israel have been torn _ government? families of 240 people in israel have been torn to _ government? families of 240 people in israel have been torn to pieces - in israel have been torn to pieces in israel have been torn to pieces in the last six weeks. i can't imagine what they are going through. i can't imagine that anybody could even relate to the pain of that they are feeling today in the reality of the realm of unknowing, of disbelief, of a constant sense of fear where family members were separated in their houses and one was left and one was taken. this is the pain that they are feeling under the pain that they are feeling under the idf is focused in the first of all of the families, the government

has established its own authorities but we are also utilising the idf�*s means in order to embrace the families, but we are also utilising all of our other tools, including operational and intelligence capabilities in order to try to bring the hostages home safe and sound. at the end of the day, we need to understand that hamas decided to abduct people. hamas decided to abduct people. hamas decided to abduct people. hamas decided to hold them hostage. hamas must be held accountable for this action. we have demanded that the international committee of the red cross have access and can assess their well—being. that is something that hamas have not been willing to do. so while we are... the level of solidarity in israeli society for the families of the people who are really living in a state of confusion and unknowing and pain, we are conducting our operations in order to try to remedy that the best that we can. of course there is the operational actions that the idf is conducting come of it at the same

time there is the diplomatic efforts that are ongoing as well. i am hopeful that we can bring them home. it is a top priority for the idf and one of our goals of this war effort. we will go to every length in order to do so. ., ., we will go to every length in order to do so. ., ., ., ., ~ to do so. peter lerner, good to talk to do so. peter lerner, good to talk to ou. to do so. peter lerner, good to talk to yon thank— to do so. peter lerner, good to talk to you. thank you _ to do so. peter lerner, good to talk to you. thank you for _ to do so. peter lerner, good to talk to you. thank you for coming - to do so. peter lerner, good to talk to you. thank you for coming in. . i'm nowjoined by dahlia scheindlin who is an israeli political analyst in tel aviv. and lord peter ricketts in london, who is a former nato ambassador. thank you both very much for being with us. dalia, let me start with you. on that issue of the hostages, because it is an important point in terms of the political commentary in israel at the moment, do you think they are getting enough information and where does it leave prime minister benjamin netanyahu? weill. minister ben'amin netanyahu? well, it hardl minister benjamin netanyahu? well, it hardly matters _ minister benjamin netanyahu? well, it hardly matters if _ minister benjamin netanyahu? well, it hardly matters if i _ minister benjamin netanyahu? well, it hardly matters if i think— minister benjamin netanyahu? -ii it hardly matters if i think they are getting enough information. they don't think they are getting enough information and if they did think they were getting enough information there wouldn't have been such an

incredible protest with mass numbers of people, and of course it is all of people, and of course it is all of the supporters who are joining this match as well. they have been having these complaints since the very beginning. the person who is in charge, that the prior minister has put in charge of this task, this committee to deal with them from the government perspective, is considered somebody who is not communicative enough and doesn't really know thejob. communicative enough and doesn't really know the job. there is a lot of discontent. it is also feeding the discontent in general of israeli society which, as we are seeing from a survey after survey, there have been about 15 different surveys since october the 7th, we are seeing record low levels of trust in the government. as low as 18%. benjamin netanyahu's party has lost about half of its parliamentary support and service. we don't know what that means for the future of politics, but we do know that it reflects very deep cut discontent within israeli society right now. i think a lot of thatis society right now. i think a lot of that is driven by the sense that the government is not coping as people feel it should. specifically on the

crisis of the hostages. the last point is that of course there is a very deep concern, i think, amongst the public that is matching that israel's operation is not necessarily... these are not left—wingers calling for a ceasefire but there is great concern that the ongoing hostilities right now could be endangering the lives of their hostages. hamas has already claimed that as many of 50 of them have been killed, or even more. that is all part of the discontent and distrust that we are seeing in broader israeli society. notjust among the hostage families. israeli society. not “ust among the hostage families._ hostage families. lord ricketts, if centre for with _ hostage families. lord ricketts, if centre for with the _ hostage families. lord ricketts, if centre for with the government i hostage families. lord ricketts, ifl centre for with the government has drifted away in recent weeks, it is certainly in question outside of israel at the moment given the gravity of the situation and the number of civilian casualties. we had a senator on the bbc this week ooh of course is very close to president biden and he communicated

to mr netanyahu that they needed to think very carefully about the humanitarian pauses. at the moment it seems to be falling on deaf ears. how much of a concern do you think that will be in washington? i how much of a concern do you think that will be in washington?- that will be in washington? i think it is a concern _ that will be in washington? i think it is a concern in _ that will be in washington? i think it is a concern in washington, - that will be in washington? i think it is a concern in washington, in i it is a concern in washington, in london and all around the world, including countries that are instinctively supportive of israel after the terrible events of the 7th of october. you can feel, in public opinion in all of our countries, a growing demand for this terrible fighting, the terrible civilian casualties, to end. antony blinken has been saying that in public for weeks. rishi sunak said it to the other day. of course i think people are aware that a ceasefire requires both sides to be prepared to undertake it and there is no sign at the moment that i side is. but some sort of pause to allow food, fuel, water into the gaza strip, humanitarian supplies, i think the demand for that around the world is

becoming almost unstoppable. dalia. becoming almost unstoppable. dalia, on that issue. — becoming almost unstoppable. dalia, on that issue, if _ becoming almost unstoppable. dalia, on that issue, if the _ becoming almost unstoppable. dalia, on that issue, if the window - becoming almost unstoppable. dalia, on that issue, if the window is - on that issue, if the window is shrinking and there are some diplomat saying there are two to three weeks of this left, the reality is that they are not going to entirely dismantle hamas and there is an enormous psychological wound that has now been imparted on the palestinian people. so we are bound to ask what comes next and who controls gaza. who controls gaza if a ceasefire comes to pass.- controls gaza. who controls gaza if a ceasefire comes to pass. there are many kinds — a ceasefire comes to pass. there are many kinds of _ a ceasefire comes to pass. there are many kinds of ceasefires. _ a ceasefire comes to pass. there are many kinds of ceasefires. if- a ceasefire comes to pass. there are many kinds of ceasefires. if there . many kinds of ceasefires. if there is a negotiation, as we have been seen over the last couple of weeks, when the sites have theoretically been close to few times which has not come to pass, we are talking about anywhere between three and ten days. in return for some level of hostage release and various other conditions. the two sides haven't been agreeable to agree on that. let remember that a ceasefire doesn't mean the kind of ceasefire that goes goes on indefinitely. then we have to start thinking about the day

after. it may very well be a pause before fighting is resumed. having said that, i and i think many other analysts are very much hoping that one day there will be a long—term ceasefire and that it cannot go on for ever, of course. the question is what happens after that. certainly hamas will not be allowed to govern gaza again. israel is placed as it very first aim is demanding hamas military capacities and the capacity to govern. there is, as far as we know, no coherent israeli plan for what comes after. every person, including alan lists and citizens are left guessing. i think the israeli government has given indications. the premise to have said more than once that he plans to have indefinite security control of a gaza, which is essentially reminding me of two things. it is what we see in the west bank of definitely an area where 60% of the west bank, but effectively all of the west bank. and it reminds me of the west bank. and it reminds me of the beginning of the lebanon war in 1982 which began with a full out war and then was reduced to a military

occupation in the southern part for the next 18 years. all of those are possible scenarios. they are bad scenarios because they are inherently unstable. the idea that this can be reduced to a security problem is the same kind of thinking that israel has implemented over the last 16 years with the effective closure policy. i think that if i had to look at what should happen, there needs to be some sort of massive reconstruction of gaza in society and a massive rehabilitation of palestinian politics and self—governance which begins with the reintegration of gaza into the west bank. but even that, i think, will be very hard to do without some sort of international intervention. ideally, i think, sort of international intervention. ideally, ithink, with sort of international intervention. ideally, i think, with two prongs to hold back security and help re—establish institutions and rebuild institutions. looking at them holistically, you cannot continue in a political horizon by trying to isolate gaza. that is another one of the major mistakes of

the last several decades. it another one of the major mistakes of the last several decades.— the last several decades. if you look back _ the last several decades. if you look back in — the last several decades. if you look back in history _ the last several decades. if you look back in history there - the last several decades. if you look back in history there are i the last several decades. if you - look back in history there are some fairly salient messes. dalia talked about 1982 and b operations in lebanon to clear out the plo and what came out of that was hezbollah. if you look at the more recent history, then thing that stands in do we have the two state solution is to settle a problem in the west bank which has been especially acute in the last 18 months. do you think after everything that has happened in the last few weeks that we are in a completely different position internationally as to what we expect out of the back of this? there is no returning, is there, to the status quo? returning, is there, to the status uuo? , returning, is there, to the status i uo? , ., , returning, is there, to the status tuo? , ., , . ., returning, is there, to the status uuo? , ., , . ., ., returning, is there, to the status tuo? , ., , . ., ., , quo? everything has changed and yet nothin: has quo? everything has changed and yet nothing has changed _ quo? everything has changed and yet nothing has changed i _ quo? everything has changed and yet nothing has changed i think - quo? everything has changed and yet nothing has changed i think as - quo? everything has changed and yet nothing has changed i think as a - nothing has changed i think as a result of recent weeks. of course we are now left with deeply traumatised societies, both in israel and perhaps even more so in the gaza strip. we have also found from the 7th of october that security only solutions to the palestinian problem do not work. benjamin netanyahu's

approach over many years in trying to airbrush out to the palestinian issue while israel cope with improving relations with its arab countries has failed. i agree that the endgame would be messy and there won't be a day after, there will be a gradual reduction in the intensity of fighting. then and humanitarian effort. beyond that, there are all kinds of possibilities. 0ne effort. beyond that, there are all kinds of possibilities. one from the israeli right is a terrifying idea that somehow there will be an expulsion of palestinians into northern egypt. a kind of exodus of biblical proportions. that would be disastrous. i think long—term israeli military occupation would be disastrous. it makes me think of the us uk occupation of iraq. the kind of halfway house that we have with is overall security and palestinian local self—government as in the west bank, that has failed as well. that is what drives me back to what the international community have

favoured for many decades which is a two state solution. all kinds of problems, the cupboards of foreign ministers in western capitals are full of possible solutions, but it is the only solution that addresses the underlying palestinian need to have their rights respected if there is to be long—term israeli security. we have to get back to that, i think. ., ~ , ., , we have to get back to that, i think. ., ~ i. , . think. thank you very much indeed for our think. thank you very much indeed foryourtime- _ think. thank you very much indeed for your time. we _ think. thank you very much indeed for your time. we will _ think. thank you very much indeed for your time. we will go _ think. thank you very much indeed for your time. we will go to - think. thank you very much indeed for your time. we will go to a - think. thank you very much indeed | for your time. we will go to a short break. you are watching bbc news. hello. for many parts of the country looks like we've seen the worst of the rain but with got a lot of cloud heading our way in the brisk winds and we have seen some breaks in the cloud with some shelter from the winds but the stronger winds are wrapped around the area of low pressure and along the weather fronts, we are driving in the thick cloud and still producing some drizzly showers as well. we might find some wetter weather returning this evening into northern ireland and continuing on the far north of scotland but temperatures in the south—east and even this evening

are at 14 degrees and it's very mild. we might find some breaks in the cloud for the first part of the night for england and wales but the showers and longer spells of rain in scotland and northern ireland will push back south—east towards england and wales later in the night and it will be a mild night, milder than of late in the north—east of scotland, and no frost likely here. the same area of low pressure will be closer to the uk on sunday, squeezing the isobars to the base of the area of low pressure so it might be windier than today across the south with gales on some of the coastal areas and we are likely to find showers or longer spells of rain affecting northern ireland moving across england and wales. not quite so wet in scotland, particularly in the east and perhaps the north—east of england and it should be a milder day in north—east scotland than today and elsewhere temperatures typically 13 or 14 degrees.

as we head into the beginning of next week, that the same area of low pressure drifts down across the uk on monday and we have a tangle of weather fronts so really quite messy and it looks like there will be a lot of cloud around on monday and we have got what looks like being mostly light rain or drizzle now and again. temperature wise we are sitting at around 12 degrees typically but there might be a colder, stronger winds picking up in northern ireland around some of the western coasts of the uk and it will be a northerly wind, so that will start to drop the temperatures as we head into tuesday but after that we get the atlantic winds coming in. so some stronger westerly winds by wednesday coming around the top of this area of high pressure, so after monday there might not be a great deal of rain over the week ahead and most of it in the far north—west of the uk but it looks like the sunshine will be limited and there will be a lot of cloud in the westerly wind.
