in other news, rescue work to save 41 workers trapped in a tunnel in india is delayed because of a damage to the rescue machinery. hello, i'm lewis vaughan—jones. hamas has freed another 13 israelis who were taken hostage during the attacks on october 7th. they are all women, teenagers and young children. four thai nationals were also released. 39 palestinians have been freed from israeli jails in return. the handover was delayed for hours by a dispute over whether israel was abiding by the terms of the deal reached with hamas. among the hostages released was the irish—israeli girl, emily hand, who's nine years old. emily was initially thought to have been among those killed

in the attack on kibbutz be eri. this is the moment she was reunited with herfather, tom. emily was at a sleepover at a friend s house in the kibbutz when she was abducted, without any family with her. other children freed include hila rotem, aged 12. she was taken captive with her mother, raya rotem, who was not released with her daughter, and remains a hostage in gaza. this is accountant, shiri weiss, aged 53, a hostage released to israel along with her 18—year—old daughter, noga weiss. 21—year—old maya regev was also freed. also among the women and children released on saturday was shoshan haran, 67, was taken from her home in kibbutz be eri on october 7. shoshan haran s daughter, adi shoham, 38, her children, eight—year—old son, nave and her three—year—old daughter gani yahel shoham, were also released on saturday. the hostages were freed in exchange for a group of palestinian prisoners from israeli jails — also all women and children.

here they are being welcomed back in the west bank. this report is from our middle east correspondent, hugo bachega. reunited at last, nine—year—old irish—israeli emily hand and herfather, thomas, seen here alongside herfriend hila, who was also released late last night. their agonising wait is finally over. in a statement to the bbc, thomas said, we can't find the words to describe our emotions after 50 challenging and complicated days. we're happy to hug emily again. he also paid tribute to hila's mother, raya, and all the other hostages who are yet to come home. thomas initially thought emily had been killed and days after the attack gave

an emotional interview, saying he was pleased she wasn't in pain, at least. the weirdest thing for a parent to hear that their child is dead and you're relieved. i knew she wasn't in gaza. i knew she wasn't terrified out of her life. when he found out his daughter was, in fact, alive, he campaigned around the world for her to be freed. now the wish has come true. emily was among 13 israeli hostages and four thai nationals freed by hamas yesterday. the release was delayed for hours after hamas accused israel of breaching terms of the temporary ceasefire deal, which israel denied. this footage released by the israel defense forces show the moment they crossed back onto israeli soil. dr shoshan haran was also freed, along with her daughter, adi, and grandchildren, eight—year—old nave and three—year—old

yahel. as for many families, though, their release is bittersweet. brother and sister noam, or who's i7 and alma, 13, have also returned to israel. but their father is another who remains captive. they are among the second group of israeli hostages to be released after this fragile truce. on friday nine—year—old ohad, seen here racing into his father's arms, was one of the first to be reunited with his family, followed by his mother and grandmother. under the deal, 39 palestinian prisoners were also released in the occupied west bank. crowds came out to celebrate as a bus carrying some of them drove through the streets. among those freed was six women. all the others were teenagers.

some of those in the crowd were seen carrying the green flags of hamas. one of those released was marah bakeer, a prominent palestinian prisoner. she had been imprisoned in israel since 2015 after a gas cylinder exploded in her car at a police checkpoint. she was sentenced to 11 years injail. her son, who was eight at the time, is now 15. meanwhile, 17—year—old mohammed darwish, who was jailed this summer following a conviction for throwing molotov cocktails at israeli soldiers, was one of the first to be released on friday. he was told he was being taken out ofjailfor a court appearance and 2a hours later, he was back with his family near ramallah. in gaza more aid trucks arrived on saturday amid a pause in hostilities, but the humanitarian crisis continues. this was the scene in northern gaza, a sign of the desperation that has gripped so many palestinians. back in israel, families are celebrating the return of their loved ones and more hostages are expected to be released today.

these are live pictures of the skyline in gaza and you can see the remnants of the destroyed buildings. reuters as saying a palestinian farmer was killed and another injured on sunday after our drone attack by israeli forces at a refugee camp in the centre of gaza. reuters reporting a palestinian farmer and another injured at the refugee camp.

i want to show you these pictures of a medical centre in israel and we are expecting an update on the condition of hostages released. the process is clearly after that long being held hostages are taken to medical facilities for checks before being released on what we expect there, you can see the microphones, an update on the condition of the latest patients. we will cut to that straightaway if you see someone come up straightaway if you see someone come up to the microphone. no live to hugo. what do we expect today? this is the third

hugo. what do we expect today? ti 3 is the third day of hugo. what do we expect today? t1151 is the third day of this hugo. what do we expect today? ti 1 is the third day of this four—day truce between israel and hamas and this is a fragile deal in any obstacle could delay the process. what is going to happen today in terms of who will be released, we expect them to be women and children and we know the israeli government has received a list with names of hostages who will be freed and the families have been informed that we don't have details about the identities of those who are going to be released. on friday, the first of the truce, the process began at four o'clock local time, so we are expecting the process today to start around that time today but yesterday it took hours for the 30 israeli nationals and also for thai nationals and also for thai nationals after hamas accused israel of breaching the terms of the

ceasefire, with israel rejected and mediators from qatar had to mediate and finally the hostages were released so today is the third day of the four—day truce and we expect 50 israeli hostages to be released and in turn this really authorities will free 150 palestinian hostages in israeli jails. —— prisoners in israeli jails. there were scenes of celebration in the west bank as the bus carrying prisoners was welcomed by a number of palestinians. i think families of those hostages are waiting to see their loved ones finally later today. we

waiting to see their loved ones finally later today.— waiting to see their loved ones finally later today. we are taking ou back finally later today. we are taking you back to _ finally later today. we are taking you back to israel _ finally later today. we are taking you back to israel to _ finally later today. we are taking you back to israel to get - finally later today. we are taking you back to israel to get an - finally later today. we are taking l you back to israel to get an update on the condition of the hostages. good morning. we meet here today after a very long and emotional night for us where we as an organisation have had the amazing privilege of being able to treat our brothers and sisters, our children, they have been kept captive by hamas. in the last few weeks the children's hospital and the whole sheba medical centre has been preparing for this opportunity. we have gathered the best professionals

and train them. we learned a lot and consulted with our peers and the israeli ministry of health and tried to prepare to be able to give those kept captive any care and attention they might need when this fortunate event when they are released happens. and last night after a very confusing and stressful period, at around 3:30am, we received these 12 captives, children and women, that came back they underwent a medical and psychological evaluation and i'm

happy to say that despite the fact of the harsh conditions they have been under and experience of captivity, they did not require any urgent medical intervention. we will keep them here at the children's hospitalfor as long as keep them here at the children's hospital for as long as they need and care for them, help them in their preparation of coming back to their preparation of coming back to their communities, some of them have no homes to come back to but they have a very significant and supporting community that will embrace them as a whole nation embraces them when they come back. on a personal note, this is a paediatric hospital, we have a lot of emotional and significant dacia

getting for children from all over. i have been doing this for many years. —— significant task of caring for children. ifeel years. —— significant task of caring for children. i feel privileged to have gotten the opportunity to be here for these children and their families. i think i share this with the other members of the team have been here for many hours, and i think no team member has left, they all stay trying to care for these people, for these children. they are only a very small part of the people kept captive by hamas. we create

together with the whole nation and i think the world, we pray i think with whole nation and the world the early release of the rest of the captives. there are children they are, there are women there, there are, there are women there, there are elderly people there, women and men, and we are ready to treat them as they come back, hopefully very soon. i want to thank the israeli ministry of health that supported us and our collaborators in the other organisations it all came together in order to bring these people home and provide some hope to them and to the israeli nation. thank you very much.

i sense they are of that update, an emotional night. he started by saying after that confusing and stressful time, referring presumably to the delay in the release of hostages, it was 3:30am on sunday, very late, 12 people arrived in the sheba medical centre and they underwent medical and psychological evaluation and he said that despite the experience of captivity no urgent medical intervention was required. despite the expense of captivity for 50 or so days. they said they would care for them as long as they need and some have no homes to go back to. an update there that the 12 women and children have

undergone medical and psychological evaluations and no urgent medical interventions were required overnight. plenty more coverage coming up. some breaking news from sierra leone where authorities have declared a nationwide curfew with immediate effect after reports of gunshots. residents in the capital freetown say they heard gunfire from at least two military barracks. the country's ministry of information said unidentified individuals attempted to break into an armoury in local barracks in the neighbourhood of wilberforce and were stopped. live now to our west africa correspondent, mayenijones, in lagos in nigeria. the situation is still very fluid with lots of details emerging and

they are keen to send a message they have everything under control and the president released a statement from his residence allegedly written this morning saying the situation was calm and they have launched a manhunt to find the remaining gunmen who tried to storm the military barracks this morning. it started around five or six this morning started to get reports from residents saying they had gunshot particularly at the barracks in wilberforce near the presidential residence. shortly after the coup curfew was announced by authorities urging everyone to stay at home. we are still getting reports of a heavy military presence in freetown and it is not clear whether they are for or

against the government and one witness said he heard someone chanting they wanted to free sierra leone. this has risen fears there may be yet another coup in this region which is seen coups many in recent years. do region which is seen coups many in recent yew-— region which is seen coups many in recent veere— recent years. do we expect any formal update _ recent years. do we expect any formal update in _ recent years. do we expect any formal update in the _ recent years. do we expect any formal update in the hours - recent years. do we expect any . formal update in the hours ahead? the authority sent in a short statement about the gunfire heard this morning, explaining the gunmen were trying to get access to weapons in the wilberforce armoury. this comes at a time a number of countries in the region have faced

coups and guinea right next to sierra leone under military control. these are said to be dangerous for countries and their economies and also because they are contagious and if one is successful in one country in the region it is more likely to happen elsewhere. there will be nervousness this morning because early morning gunfire, prison is being targeted and armouries being targeted at things we have seen in other coups in the region and the united states has issued a statement criticising the coup and emphasising

support for that sierra leone government. the russian defence ministry says its forces have destroyed several ukrainian drones overnight. the mayor of moscow said the uavs were brought down over the moscow, bryansk, tula and kaluga regions, south—west of the capital. he said there were no casualties or serious damage. friday night saw the biggest drone atttack on ukraine since the start of russia's full—scale invasion. a six—year—old girl who sustained head injuries during a knife attack outside a school in dublin on thursday has been discharged from hospital. three children and a school assistant were injured in the incident, which led to hours of rioting in the city centre. a five—year—old girl remains in a critical condition in hospital along with the teaching assistant. a five—year—old boy was also released from hospital on friday. sir keir starmer has said he would not oppose any loan deal that would involve the elgin marbles

being returned to athens if labour wins the next election. greece has long demanded the return of the ancient sculptures, which were removed from the country in the early 19th century. the indian military says it has flown in specialised equipment as part of the stepped—up efforts to free 41 construction workers from a collapsed road tunnel in the himalayan state of uttarakhand. an attempt to rescue them has been delayed by at least another four days after the machine used to drill through the rubble broke down. the workers have been stuck inside the tunnel for two weeks. our correspondent samira hussain is at the scene, well, you can see that there's like a lot of construction work that's happening behind me, a lot of activity, rather. now, the issue right now is that the cars, rather, sorry, i was distracted by that car. there's a lot of debris that still remains inside the tunnel.

there's about eight to ten metres that divides where the rescue operators are and where the where the trapped individuals are in the tunnel. however, before any of the digging can resume, they have to take out this drilling machine that is completely broken down. and in order to do that, they have to break it into several different pieces to pull it out. once that happens, officials say that they're actually going to go in and manually dig out the remaining eight to ten metres of debris. and just remind us, how did this happen? how did the collapse happen originally? what was going on and when was it? right. so take a look behind me. you can see the mouth of the tunnel and then you can see that it's being carved inside a mountainside. they were building a roadway going through this mountainside, and there was a nearby landslide. and that landslide sort of collapsed onto the partially built tunnel and it crushed people inside. now, what makes this rescue operation so challenging is that not only are they dealing with various debris, but they're also contending with broken construction

materials that have been caught in with all of the debris. and that's why so many of the machines end up breaking and what's the latest on the men, the workers trapped themselves, and of course, the families waiting? so the workers inside are being provided with regular meals, cooked foods, daal, raw vegetables, fresh fruit. they're also being provided with walkie—talkies so they can speak to those family members that have come here to be near where they are for if and when they are rescued. and so the family members can actually go inside to the mouth of the tunnel and speak to their relatives. and that really does quite a bit for both those that are on the outside and those on the inside. you can imagine that if you have

a loved one that is trapped now for 15 days and it looks like it's going to be several days longer, there's quite a lot of anxiety. and so at least to be able to speak with them does give some people some level of comfort. this is the rafah crossing on the border with gaza and 61 trucks of aid were delivered to northern gaza today, the largest number since seventh october and the included food and water and supplies and deliver to al—shifa hospital.

187 trucks entered gaza and feel crossed into —— feel crossed into gaza ——fuel. hello. a chilly spell of late autumn weather is going to continue through the rest of today and for much of the week ahead as well. with temperatures below average, we have seen some early brightness around across northern and eastern areas. but through the rest of today, it is going to be clouding over for most of us with rain edging its way in all courtesy of this area of low pressure, you can see coming in from the atlantic,

bumping into higher pressure towards the southeast. bumping into higher pressure so any rainfall tending to peter out. best of the dry and bright weather will be across parts of highland scotland. blue skies and sunshine here, colder air moving into the northern isles with some showers. and then we've got some rain across northern ireland, wales, the south west of england, to much of eastern england as well as scotland stays dry with some brightness around. but temperatures not doing great, only about four to six degrees for most of us here. but we're getting into double figures towards the west now through this evening and tonight, that area of rain continues its progress eastwards. so some wet weather for parts of east anglia, for instance, also northern england, parts of northern ireland seeing some rain overnight, colderairworking into the north of that. so another cold, frosty nights come across parts of scotland, but milder further south where you've got the cloud and the outbreaks of rain. so through tomorrow morning we start with that rain across parts of england and wales. it'll slowly clear towards the south east. to the north of that cold northerly wind. blustery conditions around coastal parts of eastern scotland, northeast england with a few showers, a touch wintry over the highest ground, but rain at low levels further south and west.

some brighter weather developing later in the day. heading on into tuesday. and we're going to be between weather systems. it's that area of low pressure clears away towards the east. so we've got the breeze coming in from a northerly direction, again, bringing a few showers across the north east of scotland, around the east coast of england, and perhaps a few around some of these irish sea coasts as well. but for the bulk of the uk it's looking like a predominantly dry day on tuesday with some sunshine, although not feeling particularly warm. top temperatures between about 4 to nine degrees on tuesday into the middle of the week. then we've still generally got the cold air mass with us, but we'll see areas of low pressure that for a time we'll introduce something a little bit milder and wetter too. but generally the outlook through the rest of the week into next weekend, as well as temperatures to remain below average, between about four to 6 degrees for most of us. some wet weather, mostly falling as rain, i think for most of us. but there could be a little bit of sleet and snow over the highest ground, largely in

the north of the uk. bye— bye.

this is bbc news. the headlines... israel and hamas have completed a second hostage and prisoner exchange as part of a temporary truce agreement. 13 israelis and four thai nationals held hostage in gaza were transferred to israeli territory. israel says it has received the list of a third group of hostages, to be released on sunday. the father of a nine year—old irish—israeli girl, emily hand, released from captivity in gaza, says he has no words to describe his emotions. thomas hand initially thought his daughter was killed in the october 7th attacks by hamas,

but after hearing she'd been abducted, campaigned tirelessly for her release. 39 palestinians were later freed from israeli detention. six of them are women and the remainder children. some had been detained for years. the releases came after a delay of several hours and tense negotiations qatar says 13 women and children will be freed along with seven foreigners, 39 palestinian prisoners are due to be rereleased. the bbc has been speaking with omer lubaton granot. four of his family members were kidnapped during hamas' attack on israel on october 7th. he was asked about his reaction to the hostages that have been released so far. we are thrilled, of course. it's a very happy,

happy day and i think it's the good news that all of our nation needed it after six very long weeks to see the smiles of those kids, to see the hugs and there reuniting with their parents that were waiting here. it's amazing. it's a great feeling. we really hope to see more of them coming. we want to see this deal getting complete and to see how we get other deals to bring all of the hostages home. the people that are on the list are mostly women and children. my cousin, she was kidnapped with her three children, they are 17, 11 and nine. and on the same day she suffered so much loss, husband was murdered, her eldest daughter was murdered, the house was burned. so we really hope to get some good news, be really help to understand that they will be

among the list in the next days and we're just waiting, hopefully, among the list in the next days and we'rejust waiting, hopefully, and trying to understand if it is going to happen. if it is going to happen. earlier i spoke to amichai chikli, israeli minister of diaspora affairs and social equality. he said the truce with hamas was only temporary and there will be no ceasefire. for most it is very important to understand that this is just a humanitarian pause. there is no ceasefire and there will be no ceasefire with the terror organisation of hamas, and we are committed to destroying this organisation, notjust for the sake of israel, but also for the sake of humanity. that is first. we know that we cannot trust this organisation and we see how they are playing, and they already break the agreement that we had with them.

we have a 13—year—old that was released, there was an agreement that the hostages will not be separated separated from the parents, but the vicious hamas terrorists decided to keep her mother in prison. and so... just to be clear, it is your understanding the part of the deal was that mothers and children would not be split up and you think they have and hamas has broken its side of the deal? yeah. when we voted, including me, in the government, when we voted for the deal we knew that there is a concrete decision that families will not be separate, mothers and children. i appreciate that. hamas yesterday accused israel of not abiding by the terms of the deal. for example, aid trucks

getting to the north. were hamas right? no, it is false, it is false. israel committed everything that she has signed and agreed and you can see the reaction of both egypt and qatar toward hamas, saying to them, "enough with these games, fulfil your part in the agreement". and the other side of this is palestinians being released. are you happy with that? yes, it is not the other side. there is no other side. when you take little children like a four—year—old or 9—months—old, taking them

barbarically out of their homes, and you compare it with 17—years—old or 18—years—old, youngsters that participated in stabbing, in making explosives, some of them were formal members of islamichhad or hamas. so there is no parallel. obviously, no one is happy to release terrorists, even if they are young terrorists or female terrorists that wanted to stab or commit suicide attack. we are not happy about it but we will do everything to bring back our people and we have entire families that are still in the junctions of hamas and unlike the prisoners that we have here in israel that had a process, there was a trial, they had all the humanitarian surrounding... but of course many of those people detained were pre—trial detainees. they haven't gone through the process of trial yet. as you know, many of them are... yeah. i am saying even the most basic thing like a humanitarian

visit of the red cross. the red cross is very disappointing. we have seen nothing from the red cross beside driving... basically, functioning like a bus, taking the hostages to the border. nothing. can i go back to the very first thing you said, which was this is not ceasefire? there are many hoping that after this four day pause, it will be extended. do you hope it be extended? no, i hope we will eliminate hamas... but to get more israeli hostages out, it would need to be extended. so do you hope it will be extended? i hope we will eliminate hamas, destroy hamas, and this is the hope that i think...

we saw the huge demonstrations of hundreds of thousands of people all across the world, including a major pro—hamas march in the streets of london. the ideology of hamas, which is the ideology of the muslim brotherhood, this ideology is extremely dangerous and we can see how it inspired the atrocities of october the 7th, the massacre, the rape, the barbarism, inspired the partners of hamas all across the world. people have been out marching in support of the palestinians in gaza, which is, as you know, different from hamas. when you shout "from the river to the sea," you cannot hide the intention, and we know the intention. and we think it is really important to look straight into the eyes of reality and understand the danger for the free world, the danger for britain that is coming from the muslim brotherhood and hamas.

it is not a game, this is very, very serious. people want, many people around the world want an extension to this four days because many want more israeli hostages out and many want the cessation of the fighting. do you want that four—day extension? you haven't said you have yet. we want every one of them, of our children, our women, our men, we want every one of them back home. that is sure. no question about it. we will do everything to bring them back. but just like the free world united to destroy nazi germany or to destroy other evil forces like isis or al-qaeda, the same here, to destroy hamas, to defeat hamas is notjust the fight of the state of israel, but it is the fight of humanity, western civilisation and all the people who believe in the most basic humane values.

wa nt to want to bring you breaking news from our agency. this is afp agency that reported that hamas's military wing confirmed its northern brigade commander, and three other leaders are dead. that is just from afp. we haven't independently verified confirmed that. they say the hamas military wing confirming the northern brigade commander and three other leaders are dead. palestinian prisoners have been freed from israeli prisons. earlier we heard from gerard horton — a lawyer with military court watch injerusalem which monitors the treatment of children

in israeli military detention. these children who have been released make up just a fraction of about 700 palestinian children who are detained in the occupied west bank by israeli military forces. and their cases share a number of common features which i think are worth highlighting. the first feature i will mention is simply, where did these children live? our evidence shows that the overwhelming majority of these children that are detained, and i'm talking about around 90%, live within several kilometres of an illegal israeli settlement in the west bank or a road used by settlers in the west bank. and that is not a coincidence. if you place 500,000 israeli civilians into occupied territory, not including eastjerusalem, you will need a heavy military presence in that area, which has an enormous impact on palestinian communities living nearby.

it leads to friction, clashes and arrests. the second point i would make it just to highlight how most of these children are actually arrested. our evidence shows that the majority of children who get detained in the west bank are arrested in military raids on their homes in the middle of the night. a recent un report suggested that, prior to october the 7th, the israeli military was conducting 3,000 night—time operations in the west bank every year. among the palestinian released with a 17—year—old joe this summer, convicted for throwing molotov cocktails at israeli soldiers. yesterday israeli prison guards told mohammed he was being taken out of jailfor a court appearance. 2041 slater jailfor a court appearance. 204i slater is back with his family, one

of the first prisoners to be released under its real�*s deal with hamas. mohammed was arrested in april and convicted by a military court of throwing molotov cocktails at israeli soldiers. his father said last night was the first time he had seen or spoken to his son in seven months. the reunion was indescribable, he said. his first word to his son as he met him off the bus, my love. mohammed told me he was dizzy with happiness as he stepped off the bus to me to family. you spent seven months of your life... since the attacks on october the 7th, the only source of information in the jail was new arrivals, who sometimes arrived with broken teeth and large cuts to the head which were left untreated. the next da

head which were left untreated. tue: next day they head which were left untreated. tte: next day they took head which were left untreated. tt2 next day they took out the cookers, the tv and radio. we were totally isolated. they only gave us one portion of food between seven. we were always hungry. after the 30th of october, they removed our blankets. it was freezing cold. israel couldn't do anything to gaza, so they punished us.— so they punished us. israeli prison service says _ so they punished us. israeli prison service says all _ so they punished us. israeli prison service says all prisoners - so they punished us. israeli prison service says all prisoners were - service says all prisoners were detained according to the law and had a right to file a complaint. you won't release because hamas took hostages, women and children that were released yesterday in exchange for palestinian prisoners. how do you feel towards those hostages? they were guests of hamas living in heaven. we were in prison being tortured, living in hell.— tortured, living in hell. tonight, crowds gathered _ tortured, living in hell. tonight, crowds gathered at _ tortured, living in hell. tonight, crowds gathered at the - tortured, living in hell. tonight, i crowds gathered at the checkpoint again to wait for the next group of

released prisoners to arrive. the green tags up hamas have multiplied here since yesterday. keen to burnish its brand as the palestinian group that will do whatever it takes to force israel's hand. that report overnight. melanie ward is the chief executive of military aid for palestinians. she told us about the supplies it entered gaza. a huge diplomatic effort to make sure the fighting, the killing, the carnage is not allowed to resume again in a couple of days. on the eight front, it is true that much more aid has been allowed in since israel began imposing the siege on

gaza seven or so weeks ago. yesterday around 200 trucks were allowed to go across the rafah crossing. however, that is still only 40% of what is needed in gaza only 40% of what is needed in gaza on any one normal day, never mind in the middle of such a horrific war when there is such destruction, so many people killed and injured. there were some trucks that were able to reach the north of gaza yesterday and we have been particularly concerned about the north since in israeli tanks went in because they remained there, hundreds of thousands of civilians, some of the most vulnerable, sickest, oldest people in gaza who have been unable to the south was not many of them are still patients in hospitals that are barely functioning. some trucks got him but not nearly enough. there are thousands of people still in shelters who are urgently in need of food, water, hygiene supplies, medicine. one of the hospitals, the

indonesian hospital in the north of gaza reported yesterday that they received two trucks, one containing coffins and one beds. what they really need, they said, and medical supplies, items for operating theatres, emergency rooms to try to sustain the life of the patients who are still in those hospital. thanks to melanie ward. in the last hour we had an update on that medical condition of the hostages released in the early hours of sunday morning, late saturday night. we heard from a representative from a medical centre in tel aviv. we meet here today after _ medical centre in tel aviv. we meet here today after a _ medical centre in tel aviv. we meet here today after a very _ medical centre in tel aviv. we meet here today after a very long - medical centre in tel aviv. we meet here today after a very long and - here today after a very long and emotional— here today after a very long and emotional night for us where we as an organisation had the amazing privilege — an organisation had the amazing privilege of being able to treat our

has turned wind power into one of the cheapest ways to generate electricity. but when these huge blades start turning in bedfordshire, this will be just the second onshore turbine to be completed in england this year. it's tough. it's very tough. onshore wind is being left behind in the uk's renewable revolution. planning regulations make it almost impossible to build a turbine on english soil. why do you think politicians are making it so hard? we're actually completely baffled, to be honest. they're cheap, they're safe, we produce home—grown energy — what's not to like? offshore, it's very different. huge wind farms — this one is the size of greater london — are being built in the north sea. increasing amounts of solar mean that in the last year renewables in the uk generated more

power than burning fossil fuels. the uk has a well—earned reputation as a leader on climate change — a country that's notjust talking about transitioning away from fossil fuels towards renewable energy, but actually doing it, at some speed. but under rishi sunak, the tone has changed. the talk is now not so much about the opportunities of a cleaner, greener, economy, but of new oil and gas exploration, softening net zero targets and keeping costs down. the last few months, i think the uk has looked flaky. lord stern has advised both labour and conservative governments on climate change. he says the uk's backsliding has been noticed around the world. i travel a lot to work with india, to work with china, working with the eu, the united states,

and i'm constantly now, over these last months, asked the question — "what is going on in the uk?" "aren't they so committed any more?" hearing no objections, it is so decided. the tone was very different two years ago, as the uk chaired cop26, the global climate change negotiations, in glasgow. with the new round of talks starting in dubai this week, the government says jobs and energy security justified drilling for new oil and gas, and that since 1990 no other major economy has cut emissions faster. camilla born was part of the uk's negotiating team in glasgow. the fact that we've chosen to say — we're going change things up, we need to take a different kind of tact — is very confusing and not consistent with the leadership we have shown and that will make it more difficult for us in the negotiations. reputations aren't lost overnight but the uk's language on climate

and energy has changed, and the world has noticed. jonah fisher, bbc news. plenty more at the top of the hour. this is bbc news. goodbye. hello. our chilly spell of late autumn weather is going to continue through the rest of today and for much of the week ahead as well with temperatures below average. we have seen some early brightness around across northern and eastern areas, but through the rest of today, it is going to be clouding over for most of us, with rain edging its way in all courtesy of this area of low pressure, you can see coming in from the atlantic, bumping into higher pressure towards the south east, so any rainfall tending to peter out. best of the dry and bright weather will be across parts of highland scotland. blue skies and sunshine here, colder air moving into the northern isles with some showers. and then we've got some rain across northern ireland, wales,

the south west of england, too. much of eastern england as well as scotland stays dry with some brightness around. but temperatures not doing great, only about four to six degrees for most of us here. but we're getting into double figures towards the west. now, through this evening and tonight, that area of rain continues its progress eastwards. so some wet weather for parts of east anglia, for instance, also northern england, parts of northern ireland seeing some rain overnight, colderairworking into the north of that. so another cold, frosty night to come across parts of scotland, but milder further south where you've got the cloud and the outbreaks of rain. so through tomorrow morning we start with that rain across parts of england and wales. it'll slowly clear towards the south east. to the north of that cold northerly wind, blustery conditions around coastal parts of eastern scotland, northeast england with a few showers, a touch wintry over the highest ground, but rain at low levels further south and west. some brighter weather developing later in the day. heading on into tuesday, and we're going to be between weather systems as that area of low pressure clears away towards the east. so we've got the breeze coming in from a northerly direction, again, bringing a few showers across the north east of scotland, around the east coast of england,

and perhaps a few around some of these irish sea coasts as well. but for the bulk of the uk it's looking like a predominantly dry day on tuesday with some sunshine, although not feeling particularly warm. top temperatures between about four to nine degrees on tuesday into the middle of the week. we've still generally got the cold air mass with us, but we'll see areas of low pressure that for a time we'll introduce but we'll see areas of low pressure that for a time will introduce something a little bit milder and wetter too. but generally the outlook through the rest of the week into next weekend, as well as temperatures to remain below average, between about four to six degrees for most of us. some wet weather, mostly falling as rain, i think for most of us. but there could be a little bit of sleet and snow over the highest ground, largely in the north of the uk. bye— bye.

live from london, this is bbc news. after an agonising delay, late—night hostage and prisoner exchanges takes place between israel and hamas. a second group of hostages leave hamas captivity — 13 israelis and four thai nationals are freed. celebrations in the west bank as 39 more palestinians were released from israeli prisons — some have been in detention for years. this is the scene in gaza, where a temporary truce seems to be holding — a further exchange of hostages and prisoners are expected today.

in other news, rescue work to save 41 workers trapped in a tunnel in india is delayed because of a damage to the rescue machinery. hello, i'm lewis vaughan—jones. welcome to the programme. hamas has freed another 13 israelis who were taken hostage during the attacks on october 7th. they are all women, teenagers and young children. four thai nationals were also released. 39 palestinians have been freed from israeli jails in return. the handover was delayed for hours in a dispute over whether israel was abiding by the terms of the deal reached with hamas. among the hostages released was the irish—israeli girl, emily hand, who's nine years old. emily was initially thought to have been among those killed in the attack on kibbutz be'eri. this is the moment she was reunited with herfather, tom.
