"some had blood poisoning the tech companies say and severe infections." their claims are unfounded and they'll robustly defend themselves. back at al—shifa, israel but across the us, more and more people has issued this video, as it comes under pressure to justify its raid on the hospital. it says this tunnel leads to a blast—proof door, of the kind used by hamas for its command centres. and more video, this time cctv, which israel says shows two hostages being bundled into al—shifa on october the 7th, one of them wounded. at this stage, we can't verify any of the army video. in israel, many are still enveloped by grief, still mourning those killed by hamas. among the dead, a passionate peace campaigner.
1:05 am
vivian silver was a canadian—israeli activist. if palestinians were allowed into israel for medical treatment, she drove them to hospital. after hamas attacked her kibbutz near the gaza border, there was little of her left to bury. her son, jonathan, said her peace movement had been orphaned by her death. 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 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.
1:06 am
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. orla guerin, bbc news, jerusalem. let's have more now on that news conference from the israel defence forces, in which they outlined details of what they said they found at the al—shifa hospital. the israeli military spokesman daniel hagari says hamas had killed one hostage there and detained two others after the attack on october the 7th. this is 7th of october,
1:07 am
10:55am. the evidence i will share was sent by israel to diplomatic channels to the countries of those civilians. here you can see hamas taking a hostage inside the vicinity. he even doesn't look need to need a treatment, but they're taking him inside the hospital. i will now share this video that shows the same hostage entering into the hospital with the gunmen, terrorists inside the hospital. this is the main entrance of the hospital. we have not yet located both of these hostages and rescued them. we have not yet located them. we do not know where they are. there's still hostages we need to rescue. our correspondent injerusalem, nick beake, gave us this analysis of what the idf statements
1:08 am
might mean in the overall context of the war. israel is slowly, methodically, it would say, building a case, presenting evidence which, it claims, justifies the operation at the al—shifa hospital. just to put this in context, this was a really big military operation the israelis have been carrying out at gaza's biggest hospital. and the reason they said they did this, they brought in tanks, there was such a fierce battle, even though thousands of civilians had gone to the hospital to seek shelter, to seek safety, the justification for this was that hamas had transformed it from a hospital into a active war zone, into a legitimate military target. so that's why you hear the idf chief spokesman talking about hamas bringing military jeeps, which he says had taken from the israelis, why he showed cctv footage which he said shows
1:09 am
hamas fighters armed, why he also says that hostages have been kept at the hospital, and also why he says that hostages were actually murdered there within the grounds of the al—shifa hospital. this is evidence which, bit by bit, israel says it's collected and is now putting forward, both in video form and other material as well. worth stressing this has just come out tonight, there's no way that we can immediately verify this. but, certainly, israel is saying this is the evidence it has been talking about for a long time now, that the hospital is being used as a place where hamas have been taking hostages and also using it for human shield purposes. let's go to argentina. right—wing political outsider javier milei has won argentina's presidential elections. his rival sergio massa called mr milei to concede defeat and said it was important to respect the votes of the people.
1:10 am
it was a closely fought contest beween the two, who have sharply different views on how to tackle argentina's economic crisis — an issue that's dominated the vote. milei's proposals which included detonating the central bank won support amid voters desperate for change. let's get more on this from luis fajardo from bbc monitoring. great to talk to you. we just saw that javier milei finished talking. any insight into what he said?— finished talking. any insight into what he said? javier milei is of course — into what he said? javier milei is of course announcing - into what he said? javier milei is of course announcing the i is of course announcing the beginning of a new era for argentinian politics. he said he has repeatedly promised a complete break with the past, with what he refers to as a corrupt group of argentinian politicians. he has also promised to return argentina to greatness and, of course, right

1:12 am
it is also a change with relations to the uk in particular over the fork in ireland's issues. argentina is insisted on sovereignty of the islands. javier milei said he was an admirer of margaret thatcher and he said in solution should take into consideration the wishes of the islanders. a very unusual move for an argentinian leader. sergio massa, he was obviously minister in the government already, is there any criticism that javier already, is there any criticism thatjavier milei does not have the experience, the work experience, to take on this role? ., , ., experience, to take on this role? . , . . experience, to take on this role? . , ., ., , role? that is that what his opponents _ role? that is that what his opponents are _ role? that is that what his opponents are many - role? that is that what his i opponents are many people role? that is that what his - opponents are many people in argentina thought. javier milei made his career as a commentator on tv. he has not really held many offices in the government. he does not have any real experience in the government and, of course, his critics said that would be a
1:13 am
major problem but of course he presents it as an advantage and says he alone is able to fight what he sees as extended corruption in the argentinian political system because he had nothing to do with it. and of course, people are going to see how he tries to make these promises of truth and the next few weeks. that was luis fajardo, from bbc monitoring. the former first lady of the us rosalynn carter has died — she was 96. rosalynn was married to jimmy carter, who was president in the 1970s, for 77 years. her family say she died peacefully at her home in plains, georgia. president carter said that rosalynn was his equal partner in everything he accomplished. he said that as long as rosalynn was in the world, i always knew somebody loved and supported me. rosalynn, who championed mental health and women's rights, is survived by her husband, and her three children, 11 grandchildren, and 1a

11:40 am
quite a lot of cloud. the winds coming in from a northwesterly direction and they'll be bringing some showers into wales and southwest england with more persistent outbreaks of rain across the northeast of scotland. in between, it does stay quite cloudy, but some breaks in the cloud every now and then. a bit of sunshine, particularly for east anglia, southeast england, and probably brightening up in northern ireland through the afternoon as well. temperatures still on the mild side at 12 or 13. for wednesday, we start to see a ridge of high pressure build in from the north. and with that comes the prospect of some bigger breaks in the cloud, particularly across southern and central scotland, northern ireland, northwest england, northwest wales as well. wednesday, we've got some warmer air coming around the top side of our area of high pressure behind this warm front, and with fronts crossing scotland, it's here where we'll have the thickest cloud outbreaks of rain. it's going to be quite windy as well. the heaviest rain for
11:41 am
western scotland, the rain probably not amounting to too much across eastern scotland. drier further south for southern eastern wales, the midlands, east anglia, southern counties of england. that's probably where we'll see the best in the breaks in the cloud in the cloud, the best of the day's sunshine. temperatures around 11—1a degrees, so again, it's mild. now towards the end of the week, we are going to see some more significant changes as a cold front dives southwards and starts to introduce some much colder air. question marks how far south this cold air gets and exactly how cold it will be when it arrives. however, it does look like we'll all see a significant drop in temperatures and it could get cold enough to see some snowfall over the mountains of northern scotland, so one to watch. bye for now.
