welcome to the bbc news at six. thirteen hostages kidnapped in the 7th october attacks in israel are to be released tomorrow. the group, all women and children, are just a fraction of the nearly 240 people abducted by hamas, which is designated a terrorist organisation by the uk government. they're due to be freed from gaza tomorrow afternoon, with a four—day ceasefire scheduled to begin in the morning. there were hopes they would be released today. a number of palestinian prisoners will also be released from prisons in israel. our senior international correspondent orla guerin is in tel aviv this evening. orla. israel has received a list of names of those who are due to be freed tomorrow, and theirfamilies have been informed. they don't know what condition their loved ones will be in. when they are brought back eight israel, they will be brought directly to hospital for medical checks. six hospitals are on

standby, with specialist teams and social workers. standby, with specialist teams and socialworkers. forthe standby, with specialist teams and social workers. for the other families, who have women and children being held in gaza, they will have to wait day by day to see if their loved ones are included in the lists of those to be released during the ceasefire, which initially is due to last for four days. their faces haunt israel. 239 hostages who were taken to gaza. it was hoped a first group would come home today, but the hostage deal was delayed last night at the 11th hour. relatives like gil dickman heard the news on tv, not from the government. his cousin carmel is a hostage. she is 39 and loves to travel. her sister—in—law is also being held. her three—year—old daughter is waiting at home. was there a lot of shock last night?

yeah, there was. there was a lot of shock. we are afraid this delay is not the last delay and it might mean that there is a problem with the deal, a bigger problem than we thought before. either way, we try to stay optimistic. and tonight, welcome news for the families. a dozen or so women and children are now expected to be freed tomorrow afternoon. in gaza, one more day of death and wrenching loss. this is rafah in the far south, where israeli air strikes flattened the neighbourhood.

this boy says, they brought the building down on top of us. he is asked if he was at home. yes, he says. i put my hands over my head and fell to the floor. if hamas was the target here... ..civilians seem to have paid. israel says it is striking hamas wherever it is hiding. this was an intelligence headquarters, the army says. many palestinians are hoping that at least for the coming four days, israel's crushing assault will be on pause. orla guerin, bbc news, tel aviv. well, the foreign secretary lord cameron has travelled to israel on an official visit. he met prime minister benjamin netanyahu this afternoon and urged the need for humanitarian aid to get into gaza.

our diplomatic correspondent james landale is travelling with david cameron and joins me from jerusalem. james, for all the news about hostages potentially being released soon, the diplomatic pressure on israel continues? yes, that is right. david cameron was just the latest western politician passing through israel, and yes, of course he came here to show support and solidarity with israel. he went down to a kibbutz near gaza where about 100 people were slaughtered by hamas on october the 7th. mr cameron said that what he had seen and heard, he would never forget. he had seen and heard, he would neverforget. but he he had seen and heard, he would never forget. but he also came here to deliver some pretty tough messages to israel about the need to do more to protect civilians, to tackle settler violence in the west bank, and also to use any potential humanitarian pause notjust to get

aid into gaza, but also potentially change the dynamic of this conflict. so, some of his discussions today were about the future, about who one day may govern gaza, about what more support could be given to the palestinian authority. the foreign office also said even a long—term political solution that could bring justice and security to israel and the palestinians. the mood music back from the israelis was pretty robust. i minister netanyahu said evenif robust. i minister netanyahu said even if all the hostages were released, israel would continue to achieve its war aims, namely the eradication of hamas. so amid all the diplomatic pressure, above all from the west, it is not clear how much impact it is having on decision—making here in israel. thank you, james. net migration to the uk hit a record level last year, nearly three quarters of a million people, more than originally thought. net migration is the difference between the number of people coming to live here and those leaving. the latest figures from the office for national statistics also show, though, that the rate may now be slowing. the government said migration was putting unsustainable

pressure on communities and that there was more work to do. labour said the figures showed a failure of asylum and of the econony. here's our home editor mark easton. the number of people in england and has increased in one year by the equivalent of the population of sheffield, and a bit more. official estimates suggest the total last year was 60.2 million, an extra 578,000 people. they bounced and bounced until they could bounce no more. that means the population is increasing at its fastest rate since the baby boom of the early �*60s, when births far outstripped deaths. now the difference between the two is negligible. the main driver today is immigration. today we got updated figures for long—term migration to the uk and the number that raised eyebrows is the revised net migration figure for 2022, a record 745,000 more people came to the uk than left,

far higher than previously thought. now, the equivalent figure for the year tojune this year is 672,000, suggesting that net migration may now be on a downward trajectory. let's look in a bit more detail at who the immigrants are. the figures suggest 1.2 million people came into britain for more than 12 months. roughly a third were higher skilled workers and their families. one in three of those were coming to work in the nhs and social care. the countries providing the most workers were india, nigeria and zimbabwe. the uk also welcomed 410,000 students. another third, the remainder, a range of people, dependents, humanitarian visas and so on. we also got another set of immigration figures from the home office today, with numbers on small boat arrivals, asylum, etc. they show that in the year to september, 115,000 came to the uk by irregular means,

most in small boats, down a little. the asylum backlog remains high, slightly down, but the number of asylum seekers and hotels has reached a record high, 56,000 people, costing the taxpayer around £3 million a year. the government focus may be on the small boats, but the figures today show they make up a tiny fraction of all arrivals. 97% of immigrants coming to britain arrive legally. it's the difference between a channel ferry and a tiny inflatable. mark eastern, bbc news. since 2010, it has been conservative governments in power, setting targets for migration and delivering brexit. our political editor chris mason has spent the day in windsor in berkshire talking to a group of conservative activists about their party's record on the issue. coffee and a chat.

i'm with a collection of conservative party members, and one big topic. let's talk about legal migration. is it too high? i think potentially it probably is a touch too high, although these people have been vetted, they've come in through the front door. and dealing with the local businesses in maidenhead and windsor, there is definitely a gap, and definitely a need for people in hospitality and other businesses. i personally would love to see - the number to come down altogether. even though you're a recent migrant yourself? yes. i think the point—based system, if reformed successfully, - we can truly use that i towards our advantage. what would you say as a conservative to a brexit voter who says, "i voted for brexit and look at these migration members. they are just through the sky"? my idea of brexit is to stick a cork in the channel tunnel and be done with it, but... and has that happened? no, it hasn't happened. the problem is, parliament are very

good at talking about stuff and not very good at doing stuff. let's talk about illegal migration, and in particular, those crossing in small boats. is that out—of—control? all: yes. we have to provide genuine - asylum seekers a legal pathway and have their case fairly heard. this is all about being fair, - and being fair is what this country and people are known for. - well, i think it's the culture as well. we in this country, we queue. but what these people are doing is, they're jumping that queue. would it be worth, to make the rwanda scheme work, ripping up the uk's current obligations to the european convention on human rights, to the refugee convention? is that something worth doing? that's a big decision, isn't it? i mean, we'd join some of the despot regimes around the world. how has the conservative party, do you think, handled the whole question of migration over the last decade and a bit? i think we could have done better. i mean, it's only really been able to be tackled since brexit. we haven't done enough. . we should have done better. do you think migration

will eventually come down, or is it destined to remain high? i think if you show them a system and a set of rules, the world will settle. chris mason, bbc news, in windsor. five people, including three children, have been taken to hospital after what police called a "serious public order incident" in dublin. one of the children and a woman sustained serious injuries in the incident, believed to be a multiple stabbing. the police say they don't believe the incident to be terrorism. let's go to our correspondent chris page. what more do we know? there were chaotic and distressing scenes in dublin city centre this afternoon, and police have given an update in the last hour. children were lining up at their school in parnell square east getting ready for after—school activities when a man attacked some of them with a knife. a five—year—old girl is now having emergency care in hospital.

two other children, a boy and girl aged five and six, were less seriously injured. a woman went to protect the children and she too was stabbed and seriously injured, and eyewitnesses have recounted how other people wrestled the man to the ground and took the knife from him. the police moved at an early stage to say that this attack was not terrorism —related. they are still keeping an open mind about the motive, but they say also in hospital is a man in his 50s. he is a person of interest to them, and they are not looking for anybody else at this time. they are following a definite line of inquiry. the irish prime minister leiva radtke said he is being kept updated, and what he says is a very deeply shocking incident on the streets of ireland's capital city. —— leo varadkar. streets of ireland's capital city. -- leo varadkar.— millions of homes in england, scotland and wales will see their gas and electricity bills go up from january. the energy regulator ofgem says a typical household will pay £1,928 a year, up about £91; a year, or 5%.

ofgem has raised its price cap, the maximum amount suppliers can charge per unit of gas and electricity. here's our cost of living correspondent colletta smith. another energy bill's landed, so roy's off to the post office to pay what he can, because his family are already in arrears. probably about £1,000 in debt on the gas, about £400—£500 in debt on the electric. the last payment i made on the gas was about... i think it was about £800. it was every penny i had left in my savings. roy's been out of work for a year. with two teenagers at home, higher bills injanuary won't be easy. struggling to get work, struggling to pay bills, struggling to live. you feel vulnerable. and he's not the only one struggling. junaid's made a big life change to stay on top of his energy bills. i work full—time for my mainjob, and i've got a second job now just to top up my bills, because i was using too much

of my credit card and paying bills and everything for my credit card. it came to a point where i have used most of my limit, so i had to do something, and i feel like, you know, i can't be doing this for the rest of my life, you know? it's tiring, it's draining. there was a slight reduction in energy prices for households from last month, but this increase from january of £91; a year to a typical bill takes prices back up to the point they were at this summer. i've learnt over the last two or three years that the worst thing you can do is make a prediction about how gas prices are going to change. therefore, what i say to customers, what i say to everyone is, we need to prepare for prices to be roughly at this level, and for the market to respond to those unexpected events in different ways. but despite this new normal for customers, there is no new help from the government. last year, they gave £400 extra to each household to help cover those bills. but that's not happening this year. charities, campaigners and customers

had been holding out a last hope that the chancellor might announce some extra energy help and yesterday's autumn statement. but he didn't. so a typical household is already now paying more this winter compared to last, and that pressure's only going to increase as prices nudge up again injanuary. no matter how much you scream and shout, hey, we're struggling, the people are struggling, they don't listen to us anyway, so... we don't have all the tvs on, we don't have the heating on for so long. everything'sjust horrible! that's the only way i can put it. the new year now means putting even more aside for those energy bills. colletta smith, bbc news, in gorton in manchester. to find out how much more you'll be paying for your energy next year, visit our online calculator — that's at bbc.co.uk/news — or you can use the bbc news app. the think tank the institute for fiscal studies says the tax cuts

announced in the autumn statement will need to be paid for by reducing public spending. the chancellor says lowering national insurance will put more money in people's pockets. but the ifs says billions will be needed to fund the change. here's our chief economics correspondent, dharshini david. it is tempting to just bask in the glow of £20 billion worth of autumn statement tax cuts, but it is becoming clear how the chancellor's traitors are falling. from universities to housing and roads, over £500 million is spent on public services and investment, but even as providers grapple with higher costs, they are set to feel a chill. mr hunt, touring an airbus factory in north wales today is keeping a tight grip on department's budgets, part of a plan which he claims will ultimately boost growth. what i want to do is to make _

of the seychelles. our science correspondent victoria gill reports. the biggest animals on earth. blue whales have returned to inhabit tropical waters where just a few decades ago they were wiped out. on two recent expeditions, researchers and documentary film—makers came to the seychelles in search of the giant marine mammals. this is really cool. i've never seen so many different species, so many of so many different species. we've got hundreds of animals here. it's... it's pretty remarkable. this is now an ecological paradise teeming with life. but back in the 1960s, soviet whaling vessels captured and killed hundreds of blue whales in these waters. all right, here you go. 0k. to find out if the animals had returned scientists listened.

underwater microphones are able to pick up the very low frequency sounds that blue whales use to communicate over distances of hundreds of miles through the ocean. but the researchers weren't actually able to hear the blue whales calling directly. it took a year of recording from the sea bed and painstaking analysis of all those months of sound to identify the telltale, very low frequency, deep calls. the signature of these marine giants. we do know that blue whales worldwide were decimated by commercial whaling. we listened for over a year and we heard them in many months of the year. that suggests that the seychelles is really important for blue whales. and so understanding when and where blue whales may have recovered and are coming back, its a really good conservation win. long after the end of commercial whaling here, the seychelles has committed to officially protecting almost a third of its national waters for wildlife.

turns out if you stop killing animals on mass scales and you give them a chance to rebound, they can recover. the scientists hope to return to find out more about how the world's largest whales are using this area and if they're breeding here. they'll be looking and listening for more clues about how to protect these waters now that the ocean's largest inhabitants have returned. victoria gill, bbc news. a crane has been used to rescue a man from a rooftop after a huge fire broke out at a building site in reading. this video shows the construction worker being lifted away in a metal cage. berkshire fire and rescue said more than 50 firefighters had attended the scene, with the fire now extinguished. two people have been taken to hospitalfor smoke inhalation. the arch over london's wembley stadium will be lit only

for football and entertainment events under a new policy from the football association. there had been criticism, including from the government, that the stadium wasn't lit in the colours of the israeli flag after last month's attacks by hamas. the far right leader geert wilders has won a dramatic victory in the general election in the netherlands. his freedom party campaigned to stop all immigration in to the country. mr wilders is now looking for partners to form a coalition government — because the dutch have proportional representation, and while his party got the largest vote it can't form a government alone. anna holligan sent this report. a radicalfar right populist propelled into the spotlight. geert wilder's win was unexpected and unprecedented. after last night's cheers

it was champagne and cake for breakfast. inside the freedom party parliamentary headquarters, geert wilders made a toast to the 2.3 million people who voted for him. mr wilders has promised to close the borders and stop what he's called a tsunami of migration. this is a politician who has spent more than two decades on the fringes of dutch politics. now the voters have decided he can no longer be kept out in the cold. i think it's good. yeah, the netherlands need a change. many people are very focused on one particular problem, which immigration and this party has had that as a theme for for many, many years. he is one of europe's most recognisable far right leaders. he was convicted of insulting a racial group after calling for fewer moroccans in the netherlands.

before the vote, the three other big parties ruled out playing any part in a wilders—led government because of his far right rhetoric. brussels wants to inundate us with third world immigrants. but there are already indications that could change. nationalist leaders around the continent have praised his achievement. translation: i welcome this victory | because geert wilders demonstrates| that more and more countries within the european union are contesting its functioning, and rightly so, and hope that we can once again control immigration. the question is to what extent all sides will be prepared to compromise. the complicated process of forming a coalition is likely to go on for months. anna holligan, bbc news in the hague. it is exactly 60 years today since tv viewers were introduced to this — the tardis, and the the time

ground in northern scotland overnight
