described al—shifa hospital in gaza as a "death zone" after a visit by a un team. international doctors spent an hour at the site and reported evidence of shelling and gunfire. they say there is a mass grave at the entrance. the palestinian red crescent has evacuated 31 premature babies by ambulance from the hospital, in coordination with un agencies. the head of the world health organization posted this picture of one of the babies on x. he said they were "very sick". the israeli military remain inside the complex. last week, benjamin netanyahu said they had found a hamas "command and control" centre underneath the hospital. hamas, which is designated a terrorist organisation by many western governments, deny they have a base at al—shifa. on saturday, hundreds of people — including some patients — left the hospital on foot. but 20 health workers and about 300 critically—ill patients remain at al—shifa. meanwhile, the prime minister of qatar has said only "minor obstacles remain" in the way of reaching a deal

on releasing some of the hostages taken by hamas in its attack on israel on october 7th. his comments came after the washington post said that israel, hamas and the united states were close to an agreement on the release of women and children. also at this hour, we have an update on the health of the premature babies who were evacuated from the al—shifa hospital — and the first images which israel says are from inside a tunnel built by hamas underneath that same hospital. 0ur senior international correspondent 0rla guerin reports from jerusalem — and a warning, her report contains distressing images from the start. every day, more bodies. more palestinians killed in israel's assault. some who barely started living. this footage was filmed for the bbc today in khan yunis in the south. israel told people to flee here, to be safer. the bereaved get one last look.

and a father, one last embrace. the agony of samirjamil aga. cradling his five—year—old son, mohammed. then, his other son is brought to him. six—year—old samir. he can't bear to let him go. parted for ever. palestinians say the boys were among 30 people killed when israel bombed several houses in khan younis. but finally, some hope for around 30 premature babies. seen here today being checked by doctors in rafah in southern gaza. the world health organization got

them out of al—shifa hospital, which it says is a death zone. they are due to be moved to egypt. and in israel, many are still enveloped by grief, still saying goodbye. here they honour a passionate campaignerfor peace. vivian silver was a canadian—israeli activist. if palestinians were allowed into israel for medical treatment, she drove them to hospital. when hamas attacked her kibbutz near the gaza border, she was burned to death inside her home. her son, jonathan, said her peace movement had been orphaned by her death. her clear voice had been silenced, her clear voice had been silenced. but fellow campaigners told us they will keep going. it's very hard to us,

but the way of vivian give us the hope for all of us here, to see all of these people, that we must work in the way of the peace. do you think that is still possible now, with israel and the palestinians...? we must, we must believe in this way, because this is the solution. but israel's peace camp has been dwindling for years. since october the 7th, it is reeling. another war is under way in gaza, something vivian silver hoped would not be repeated. the grief here is for a beloved mother and grandmother, but also for a vision of a different future. 0rla guerin, bbc news, jerusalem. we just want to bring you some

new footage which has been released by the israel defense forces in the last hour or so. verify these videos. the bbc has not been able to independently verify these videos. what you're seeing here are pictures the israel defense forces says show an entrance to a tunnel under the al—shifa hospital complex. the idf says based on its intelligence, troops have exposed a tunnel 55 metres in lengths, ten metres the complex. it says the tunnel shaft was uncovered in the area of the hospital underneath a shed alongside a vehicle containing numerous weapons including rpgs, explosives, and kalashnikov rifles. the idf says that the entrance of the tunnel shaft includes a blast—proof door and �*firing hole'. it reports that its forces are continuing to uncover the route of the tunnel. as we've said, these are pictures that's been released by the israel defence forces which the bbc has not been able to verify. we'll have more on this story as it develops.

israel a few days ago it released videos of what it said were tunnels underneath the different hospital elsewhere in gaza which, again, the bbc had not at the time been able to independently verify. israeli spokespeople have previously said there are miles and miles of tunnels underneath this hospital, the al—shifa hospital in gaza. let's go to our correspondent nick beake injerusalem. what do we need to know about this footage? what do we need to know about this foota . e? , ., what do we need to know about this footae? , . . . , what do we need to know about this footaue? , . . ., , footage? israel certainly thinks it's slowly building _ footage? israel certainly thinks it's slowly building up - footage? israel certainly thinks it's slowly building up a - footage? israel certainly thinks - it's slowly building up a compelling case to justify its operation in the al—shifa hospital. it said hamas has this large headquarters right underneath the medical centre and that this was the justification for the huge military operation, even though lots of patients remained inside and lots of other people who

live in this part of northern gaza who'd sought shelter. as you described, the footage that the idf have released tonight does come with some information from the israeli military. they talk about a 55 metre long tunnel, ten metres deep. they say the first three metres of that is a ladder and another seven metres of a spiral staircase. they also say at some point at the tunnel, there is a blast door which would have been used by hamas. in the words of the military, in numerous buildings, used by hamas as a cover for terrorist infrastructure and activity. as i say, the israelis are keen to show what they've been uncovering, and i think it's important to make that point, as you did a short time ago. we have not been able to independently verify this. this is misery it —— material, out this evening. this. this is misery it -- material,

come, more video put forward by the israelis saying that this is building up the picture that there was a hamas headquarters underneath the hospital. hamas have always denied this. some of the doctors we've been talking to who've been at the hospital have said they're not aware of a complex. this is a very contested claim.— aware of a complex. this is a very contested claim. nick beake, thank ou ve contested claim. nick beake, thank you very much- _ i spoke to mark regev in tel aviv. he's a senior advisor to the israeli prime minister. this is what he had to say about the tunnels under al shifa hospital. 0ne doesn't go into tunnels on carefully. _ 0ne doesn't go into tunnels on carefully, one must be very relicence _ carefully, one must be very reticence. it's only a matter of lime — reticence. it's only a matter of time it's_ reticence. it's only a matter of time. it's notjust israel that says there _ time. it's notjust israel that says there is_ time. it's notjust israel that says there is an — time. it's notjust israel that says there is an underground military complex— there is an underground military complex immediately beat the

some of them had sepsis and severe inflammation. we began a quick resuscitation process for them as soon translation: they also had low temperatures. i they hadn't been kept warm. we usually assign one nurse to every two or three babies, but the medical staff was greatly reduced due to the siege around the al—shifa hospital and the staff's inability to change shifts. there were severe shortages in medicine, like antibiotics, other solutions and food, and that was banned by the occupying powers from reaching the al—shifa medical complex. translation: it took hours of work and coordination. i the medical staff — that's one doctor and the four nurses who were with — them finally arrived. the final number who came to us was 31 babies. there had originally been 39, but eight babies died, the final two of which died in the al—shifa medical complex. some of the babies are in critical condition.

one of them is on ventilator. there are some who are in critical, others in medium conditions, some who are stable, whose health condition allows them to be fed directly with baby formula or through tubes. earlier today, qatar's prime minister spoke to reporters in doha and said only �*minor obstacles remain' in the way of reaching a deal on releasing some of the hostages taken by hamas. his comments came after the washington post said israel, hamas and the united states were close to an agreement on the release of women and children. live now to giorgio cafiero, who's the ceo and founder of gulf state analytics, a middle east geopolitical risk consultancy. hejoins us from la. thank he joins us from la. thank you very much for being with us. why r, why is it playing such a pivotal role here? ., ., ,, ,, is it playing such a pivotal role here? ., ., , , , , ., , here? no-one is surprised that it is -la in: here? no-one is surprised that it is playing this — here? no-one is surprised that it is playing this role- — here? no-one is surprised that it is playing this role. it _ here? no-one is surprised that it is playing this role. it has _ here? no-one is surprised that it is playing this role. it has on - here? no-one is surprised that it is playing this role. it has on so - here? no-one is surprised that it is playing this role. it has on so many| playing this role. it has on so many occasions helped out with this kind of difficult mediation. i'm sure your viewers remember it was only in

september when qatar, along with switzerland, played this critical role that led to the prisoner swap between the us and iran. when it comes to gaza, qatar is an arab state that has some very unique cards to play. this really has to do with the fact that qatar is on very good terms with hamas, hamas's exiled leadership has been based in doha since 2012. and western governments often engage hamas via the doha channel. haifa governments often engage hamas via the doha channel.— the doha channel. how hopeful are ou that a the doha channel. how hopeful are you that a deal _ the doha channel. how hopeful are you that a deal will _ the doha channel. how hopeful are you that a deal will be _ you that a deal will be forthcoming sooner rather than later?— you that a deal will be forthcoming sooner rather than later? well, i'm cautiously optimistic. _ sooner rather than later? well, i'm cautiously optimistic. of— sooner rather than later? well, i'm cautiously optimistic. of course, i cautiously optimistic. of course, there are things that can go wrong that can totally do rail it —— derail. a successful deal is definitely not inevitable. but i think in gaza, there is real hope

the al—shifa hospital, because of�*s biggest hospital, has been used as a centre by hamas, which it considers a terrorist organisation. it's released this footage which it says is based on intelligence and exposes a tunnel 55 metres in length, ten metres under the complex. it's is the tunnel shaft was uncovered in an area of the hospital underneath a shed alongside a vehicle containing numerous weapons, including rpg �*s and explosives. it is important to point out that the bbc has not been able to independently verify this footage. it's been released by the israeli military. much more on that still to come here on bbc news. hello there. we've had some more rain around today, but after today and perhaps tomorrow, the rest of the week is looking pretty dry. at the moment, we've got the rain because we've got low pressure

sitting very close to the uk. sitting very close to the uk, and that's brought some heavy rain earlier on in wales and across northern england. that rain moving away from wales, but we'll keep the rain going into the night across northern england, perhaps southern scotland. some rain comes back into northern ireland, and then we get this curl of rain sweeping eastwards of rain sweeping eastwards across southern parts of england and wales, so a bit of a messy night. we will find some clearer spells developing through the midlands and lowest temperatures will be around 5—6 degrees, so a little bit chillier than it was last night. that rain in the south—east soon moves away, and then, broadly speaking, it's going to be quite cloudy. there will be some showers around, maybe some sunshine, though, for a good part of the day across east anglia and the south—east. it will get windy, though, across northern ireland and across these western coastal areas. it will be a chillier wind as well, and on the whole, temperatures will be a little bit lower than we've seen over the weekend. but after monday, then, there may not be a great deal of sunshine, but there probably won't be an awful lot of rain through the rest of the week, either. we're going to find this area of high pressure tending to build towards the uk.

a northerly wind, though, is bringing in some chillier air as we head into tuesday. and it may well bring in more cloud again and a few showers across england and wales — those should tend to move away. before it clouds over here, a little rain in the far north of scotland. those temperatures continuing to just slip away a little bit, so typically around 9—10 degrees and it could be quite chilly, overnight across england and wales. it may be the coldest night over the week ahead. things start to turn milder though across scotland and northern ireland, because the wind direction changes. there's that colder air, but this is the air we're going to get into through the rest of the week. it's a milder air coming around the top of an area of high pressure and it's broadly a westerly wind. it will bring in a lot of cloud across northern parts of the uk and some rain into northern and western areas of scotland. further south, a lot of dry weather. a bit of sunshine coming through now and again, but as you can see, there will be a lot of cloud around. you can see how the temperatures are changing, back up to 1a degrees across many parts of scotland. that's wednesday. into thursday, still the high pressure to the south, still that westerly wind and most of the rain will be

in the far north of the uk.

australia put india into bat, india never really got going — virat kohli entered the fray when they were three wickets down and steadied things with a half century before being bowled by pat cummins. mitchell starc was the pick of the australian bowlers with three for 55 including the wicket of rahul, india's top scorer with 66. chasing 241 to win, australia lost three early wickets but travis head then took the match away from the hosts — his brilliant 137 came off 120 balls. formula 0ne's return to las vegas prodeuced one to las vegas produced one of the seasons great races — with the lead changing hands seven times, before champion max verstappen took the honours in sunday's grand prix ferrari's charles leclerc started from pole, but there was chaos at the first corner as verstappen pushed him wide taking the lead and earning him a five second penalty... two drivers failed to finish, the most dramatic exit was that of britain's lando norris, he was taken to hospital as a precaution.

been a long and draining season but a good one. can't wait to get to the off—season and put in some work so we can be in a stronger and better come 202a. and that's all the sport for now. let's start with the new footage which has been released by the israel defense forces in the last hour or so. the bbc has not been able to independently verify these videos. the israelis say this is the entrance to a tunnel under the al—shifa hospital complex. the idf says based on its intelligence, troops have exposed a tunnel 55 metres in length, 10 metres under the complex. it says "the tunnel shaft was uncovered in the area of the hospital underneath a shed alongside a vehicle containing numerous weapons including rpgs, explosives, and kalashnikov rifles". the idf says the entrance of the tunnel shaft includes a blast—proof door and "firing hole". it reports that its forces

are continuing to uncover the route of the tunnel. as we've said, these are pictures that have been released by the israel defence forces which the bbc has not been able to verify. israel has previously released footage and still images of what it says are tunnels under another hospital in gaza but there are questions for a time around the al shifa hospital which israel maintains has been used by hamas as a command centre. i spoke to mark regev in tel aviv. he's a senior adviser to the israeli prime minister. and obviously one doesn't go into tunnels uncarefully, one must be very reticent because there are issues with booby traps and with other things that hamas will have left for our forces. but it's only a matter of time. and i'd remind you, it's notjust israel that says there's

an underground military complex immediately beneath the hospital. there is, of course, the americans, their intelligence has said so in parallel to ours. and it's been said both by the pentagon and the white house. and i think if one wants to speak really honestly, the people of the area who worked in the hospital know full well that there is a hamas military, a fortification and structure underneath the hospital. they just can't say so to western press because they know they will face violent retribution for hamas from hamas. that doesn't appreciate people speaking out of turn. well, i appreciate the point you're saying that about other intelligence agencies supporting israel's claim on the point of medics that you mentioned. and again, i accept your point when it comes to people talking within gaza, which is controlled by hamas. i interviewed a british medic about this time yesterday who has spent a considerable amount of time in gaza. he said he's never seen any evidence of the hospital being run by hamas militia. he said this contention by the idf

is, and i use his words here, "utterly fanciful" from his perspective. he did concede he has no idea what's going on underneath the hospital, but he said he has walked every inch of that hospital and he sees no evidence that he believes that it's being used by hamas. how would you respond to that? i would respond by saying the following. i mean, the fact that the hospital is governed by hamas is the director of the hospital, was chosen by hamas. he's a hamas appointee. and the fact that we've already found inside the hospital ammunition vests, explosives and so forth, he obviously didn't see that. maybe he didn't want to see that or they were hidden from him. but that's a sideshow. the most important thing is the military structure underneath the hospital. he, of course, said he has not been down there, so he can't see it. but i believe, as i say, in the next hours or in the next days, we will be showing conclusive evidence. and once again, if the idea that there's an underground military complex underneath the hospital is somehow a secret, it's one of the worst kept

secrets in gaza city. it's common knowledge to the people of gaza. israel has previously encouraged civilians to move to the south for their safety, civilians to move to the south for theirsafety, it civilians to move to the south for their safety, it is now encouraging people to move further west, we are talking about 1.5 million people being encouraged to go into an area which is around 1a km2, for their safety. is that a reasonable request? why is it not possible to guarantee their safety in the south as a whole are owned areas like khan younis? i as a whole are owned areas like khan younis? , ., , as a whole are owned areas like khan younis? , .,, ,.,,, , , younis? i wish it was possible but unfortunately in _ younis? i wish it was possible but unfortunately in khan _ younis? i wish it was possible but unfortunately in khan younis i younis? i wish it was possible but i unfortunately in khan younis late in gaza city, you have important hamas fortifications, rockets fired into israel in the hundreds from that area and we can't dismantle the name or —— i know it's difficult for people to once again move, i understand that, i father was a refugee, i know what it's understand that, i father was a refugee, i know what its is to move in war, it's not easy my eye harriet

first hand over the dinner table. it's better to move than to be caught up in the bottom line. we don't want to see in the crossfire, that's the bottom line. we don't want to see the innocent people hurt in the fighting between israel and hamas so we are urging people to leave israel. we know is not easy, but it's better to move and i believe as people moved to the suggested area to the west of khan younis, you would see it in agencies getting their act together, provide intense, and medicine and feel hospital and the facilities will be there only a matter of time, move out of the combat zone, i don't want these people hurt. you out of the combat zone, i don't want these people hurt.— these people hurt. you said it would be enabling — these people hurt. you said it would be enabling aid _ these people hurt. you said it would be enabling aid agencies _ these people hurt. you said it would be enabling aid agencies to - these people hurt. you said it would be enabling aid agencies to get i be enabling aid agencies to get their act together, they said they are try to get their act together but they are not getting the support they need from israel, whether it's communications being shut down, fuel and food and medicines and other supplies facing difficulties getting in, is israel doing enough to support these humanitarian organisations in their efforts? this

area is in organisations in their efforts? try 3 area is in proximity to the ref are crossing which is open, which means that it crossing which is open, which means thatitis crossing which is open, which means that it is coming and can go immediately to the area of safety, and israel has not placed any restrictions on water, food, medicine, and in, we have got up to no 100 trucks a day and we hope to double that sometime soon stop we are ready for a major effort to support these people now we know that this is the safe area, this is the place where people can be and we have to make a maximum effort. we are willing to do our part and we hope that eight agencies and others will make an effort as well. we have to safeguard these people until the conflict is over. the to safeguard these people until the conflict is over.— conflict is over. the goal of israel in this conflict _ conflict is over. the goal of israel in this conflict is _ conflict is over. the goal of israel in this conflict is twofold, - conflict is over. the goal of israel in this conflict is twofold, to i in this conflict is twofold, to secure the reasons of hostages and also eradicate how mass, now how mass has existed since the late 19805 mass has existed since the late 1980s and pretty much since day one it's going has been to see the end of the state of israel. do you

think, after decades of conflict with hamas, this is a reasonable and realistic possibility that you will achieve your goal at this time? i think it's unrealistic to think we can and hamas as an idea but what we can and hamas as an idea but what we can do is and their political and military control over the gaza strip. that is possible and feasible. i will give an example, when german chancellor was here he talked about hamas be that new nazis, are there still nazis in germany? there are of course in germany? there are of course in germany in 2023 but they don't control the government, they are out of power. that is the model we have for gaza, hamas would be demilitarised and depoliticize it. and people in gaza will not have to live in fear of —— and israel will not have to be live in fear of terrorist coming across a night in between their children but it will between their children but it will be also good for the people of gaza

who have been audited this terrorist regime for six in years, which is on the blood suffering and tears. the international _ the blood suffering and tears. the international committee, france, germany, the uk and united states have voiced concern over some of the military activity and i mentioned the statement from the un general secretary earlier on, are you concerned israel is losing some of the support of its key allies in this conflict? i the support of its key allies in this conflict?— the support of its key allies in this conflict? i think if you read the iece this conflict? i think if you read the piece that _ this conflict? i think if you read the piece that the _ this conflict? i think if you read the piece that the president i this conflict? i think if you read the piece that the president of| the piece that the president of the united states but in the washington post today, you would see that he is committed that we are to israel's right to act in self—defense and eliminate this terrible terrorist organisation, and if shows because of the new nazis, the president called them share evil and we can go back to square one, we can have some stopgap solution to leaves hamas in power, we have to eliminate them and in so doing we are committed to the rules of war, the miniature in

support among to the civilian population of gaza, and we do believe we can do so hand in hand. in parallel to our relentless campaign against hamas was michael military machine, where doing with the international community to do the international community to do the best rate possible to safeguard the best rate possible to safeguard the people of gaza. that the best rate possible to safeguard the people of gaza.— the people of gaza. that was mark bran of the people of gaza. that was mark bragg of ace _ the people of gaza. that was mark bragg of ace books _ the people of gaza. that was mark bragg of ace books person - the people of gaza. that was mark bragg of ace books person for i the people of gaza. that was mark bragg of ace books person for the | bragg of ace books person for the israeli government. anti—war protestors walked quietly through the streets of paris today with a white banner, marching for peace. this follows yesterday's demonstrations across france calling for a ceasefire in gaza. french president emmanuel macron has called for a ceasefire in the conflict between israel and hamas, saying �*we do urge them to stop this bombing'. live now to david chazan, paris correspondent for the times who was at the demonstration earlier. good afternoon, talk to us about the atmosphere today and how it compared to that atmosphere yesterday. it was different today. _

to that atmosphere yesterday. it was different today, yesterday _ to that atmosphere yesterday. it was different today, yesterday we - to that atmosphere yesterday. it a.w3 different today, yesterday we were here in slogans like quit or stop the massacres cool and others, and left—wingers political parties and trade unions played a prominent part in the rallies that took place both in the rallies that took place both in paris and across france in various towns and cities, the peace march in paris today contrasted with that. there are no banners with slogans, just plain white legs and one man holding a multicolorflag inscribed with a single word" piece. i spoke to demonstrators and a displayed none of the anger that you could see in yesterday's rallies in paris, if anything the mood was one of sadness of the continuing loss of life. marge has tried to send out an inclusive message by beginning this march at the are aware that any

tutus and going past the holocaust memorial bill and ending up at one of thejewish museums in parish. irate of the jewish museums in parish. we have seen different marches across france, this peace march that it have seen pro—palestinian marches and also marches against anti—semitism, how have different sectors of french society been reacting to the conflict in gaza was to mark? ., .., . , ., to mark? that conflict between gaza and israel to mark? that conflict between gaza and israel is — to mark? that conflict between gaza and israel is a _ to mark? that conflict between gaza and israel is a highly _ to mark? that conflict between gaza and israel is a highly publicised i to mark? that conflict between gaza and israel is a highly publicised in i and israel is a highly publicised in situ in france, france has some of the largestjewish ministry after israel and the us and it is also in the western world the home to some of the biggest muslim operations, emotions are running high because so many french people are caught up in the hostilities. a0 french nationals were killed in the hamas attack on israel last month and each of the

hostages being held by hamas are french. president macron is him and under pressure from all sides because the left wanting to be more pro—palestinian and the right are angry with him because he did not take part in a march last weekend against anti—semitism. there's been against anti—semitism. there's been a surge in what the french government because anti—semitic acts since the conflict broke out, they say there been more than 1200 since october seven. that is nearly three 0ctober seven. that is nearly three times as many as for the whole of last year, so very tense in the. david chazan, paris correspondent for the times, thank you. qatar's prime minister has spoken to reporters in doha about the prospect of a deal to release some hostages.

it's not really about a specific thing that i can comment yes or no about it. the challenges that remain in the negotiations are very minor compared to the bigger challenges. they are more logistical, they are more practical, and i believe that with the willingness of both parties to engage and to have this deal moving, we can reach a deal. we have been focused in the past four or five weeks now in these negotiations, we have tried every way, all possible ways, in order to ensure that civilians are released. and we treat all human beings all the same. civilians are civilians, whether they are from the israeli side or the palestinian side. as we mentioned in several occasions, ourfocus is to make sure

that the release is happening safely and there are also the humanitarian issues of the gaza strip to be addressed in that deal. sebastian usher who is our middle east analyst summarised what's known about the potential hostage deal. what we heard there was more upbeat of what we've heard over recent days. the challenges that remain or try to get this deal done, this is only a partial deal, not a dealfor the full number of hostages to be released, but that they are now, logistical and practical details are very minor. in such a sensitive deal as this, even logistical and practical details i would suggest could still be a major block. what she is saying, i think, the timing is interesting, we had a washington

post article in the past 2a hours suggesting that it deal is almost done. that essentially the way that it would be managed will be 50 hostages, this is women and children, will be released, and in return israel it would provide a five—day cease—fire. in previous leaks that we've had about what a deal might be with the qatari mediations had been for a lesser amount of time for the cease—fire, three days, i think, was the previous and also hamas had been demanded there would be an exchange of prisoners that israel had as well of prisoners that israel had as well of palestinian women and children. that does not seem to be the case at the moment, he did say not say it was imminent, he didn't say expect news in a day or two, this all looks for choreography, even after a white house denial that there was no deal done yet but they're working towards

it, and the is really prime minister netanyahu, also innocence talking it down, i think we are moving towards this, inevitably. everything is merging to make this the likeliest option with the next days or weeks. the british chancellorjeremy hunt says any tax cuts in this week's autumn statement to parliament will be done in a �*responsible way�* that won't risk fuelling inflation. mr hunt wouldn't comment on speculation he may cut inheritance tax but said there would be changes to the benefits system — with extra support for those with health issues who are looking for work, but tougher sanctions for those who turn down jobs. with inflation now falling, our political correspondent, damian grammaticus, assesses the chancellor's options. the biggest fall in half a century in the value of the pound against the dollar. that was just over a year ago. chancellor, what are you going to do about the turmoil in the markets this morning, sir?

a tax—cutting mini budget caused chaos. i won't make any comment now. the government's budget watchdog worried about inflation. it warned of a big drop in living standards over the next two years, the sharpest since records began. last month the chancellor said it wasn't time for tax cuts. we must grow the economy, be more efficient in how we spend money, then we can start to bring down taxes. now, though, jeremy hunt thinks things are changing. price rises are slowing. the bank of england's interest rate hikes have seen to that, and we are year, perhaps less, from an election so his priorities are shifting, he is now considering tax reductions. i will only do so in a responsible way. i'm not going to sacrifice the progress we've made bringing down inflation. if you're saying today, "i'm not going to do anything that will fuel inflation," our viewers can hear you pretty clearly hinting that means no income tax cut. what i can tell you is the approach i will take on tax, which means we will be responsible... another thing he is considering limiting, the amount that benefits rise in the coming year. usually, september's inflation,

6.7%, would dictate how much they go up but he may use a lowerfigure and toughen the rules for some. let me tell you what i've been saying about the welfare system. we will give support to more thani million people to help them get well enough to work and yes, there will be people who are not sick, don't have a disability, been out of work for a long time. we say if you are not engaging with the process, if you don't engage for six months, then we are going to close your case and stop your benefits. labour say that limiting benefit rises is the wrong approach. in government i willl use the inflation rate that is traditional, i september inflation, to increase the rates. so whatever happens you would always commit to that? it's the right thing to do. if you pick and choose _ from year—to—year what inflation number is the cheapest thing to do, then you see the gradual erosion i of people's incomes.

the chancellor knows his party remains far behind in the polls, without too much time to turn things around. damian grammaticus, bbc news two people have died in bulgaria after storms swept through the country. a red weather alert was also issued in neighbouring romania. 0ur reporter nicky schiller is in the newsroom with more. a state of emergency was declared in bulgaria's black sea region of varna after heavy rains and winds hit the region. this was the scene where a a3—year—old woman lost her life when a tree fell on her. police say that falling branches also injured two ambulance crew that had been sent to the area. separately, a 65—year—old man was killed when a tree fell on his car in sofia. his wife, who was a passenger, was also injured. the local mayor urged people to remain indoors. indeed, an alert has remained in force on sunday for wind gusts of up to 125 kilometres an hour.

there are reports of waves of over five metres along it wasn'tjust rain and heavy winds causing problems. this was the scene in the north—east of bulgaria, where snow drifts closed a number of key roads. police said they had dozens of calls from stranded motorists. as these images behind me show, the storm also hit bulgaria's neighbour, romania. a red alert for heavy rain and strong winds was issued in the south—east of the country. indeed, winds hit 150 kilometres an hour, uprooting trees and damaging the roofs of houses. the torrential rain flooded many streets in constanta, with emergency teams deployed to try to clear blocked roads. emergency alerts were sent to people's mobiles telling them to stay indoors. a number of areas were also left with no power. finally, in russia, hurricane—strength winds have hit parts of siberia. two people were killed. again, a tree hit the car that they were in.

that rain moving away from wales but we'll keep the rain going into the night across northern england, perhaps southern scotland. some rain comes back into northern ireland and then we get this curl of rain sweeping eastwards across southern parts of england and wales. so a bit of a messy night. we will find some clearer spells developing through the midlands and lowest temperatures will be around 5—6 degrees, so a little bit chillier than it was last night. that rain in the south—east soon moves away and then, broadly speaking, it's going to be quite cloudy. there will be some showers around, maybe some sunshine, though, for a good part of the day across east anglia and the south—east. it will get windy, though, across northern ireland and across these western coastal areas. it will be a chillier wind as well, and on the whole, temperatures will bit lower than we've seen over the weekend. but after monday, then, there may not be a great deal of sunshine but there probably won't be an awful lot of rain through the rest of the week, either. we're going to find this area of high pressure tending to build towards the uk. a northerly wind, though, is bringing in some chillier air as we head into tuesday. it may well bring in more cloud again and a few showers

across england and wales — those should tend to move away. some sunshine for a while for scotland and northern ireland before it clouds over here, a little rain in the far north of scotland. those temperatures continuing to just slip away a little bit. so typically around 9 or 10 degrees and it could be quite chilly overnight across england and wales. it may be the coldest night over the week ahead. things start to turn milder though across scotland and northern ireland, because the wind direction changes. there's that colder air, but this is the air we're going to get into through the rest of the week. it's a milder air coming around the top of an area of high pressure and it's broadly a westerly wind. it will bring in a lot of cloud across northern parts of the uk and some rain into northern and western areas of scotland. further south, a lot of dry weather. a bit of sunshine coming through now and again but as you can see, there will be a lot of cloud around. you can see how the temperatures are changing, back up to 1a degrees across many parts of scotland. that's wednesday. into thursday, still the high pressure to the south, still that westerly wind and most

of the rain will be in the far north of the uk.
