the bodies of eleven hikers are recovered in indonesia, a day after a volcano erupted, spewing ash three kilometres into the air. the cop28 climate summit continues in dubai — leaders look at how climate action and disaster support is funded. the uk s only two giant pandas return to china after 12 years in edinburgh zoo. hello. israel urges people to move south. a spokesman for the un children's charity unicef says that there is nowhere safe for people to go. there are reports dozens of israeli tanks have been seen near

the city of khan younis. israel says hamas fighters are hiding in the south. hamas is a terrorist organisation according and the american governments. attacks on khan younis and rafah are continuing. in the north, there have been further strikes in the jabaliya refugee camp. israel insists it is making maximum effort to avoid killing civilians. hospitals inside gaza are struggling to take in the casualities, with un officials describing a "degree of panic" in medical facilities that hasn't been seen before. the un says palestinians who are being told to leave areas which were previously seen as safe, are being pushed into a narrow corner of gaza. our middle east correspondent, yolande knell, reports. ominous warnings — the israeli flares that hang in the night sky over gaza are followed by the thuds of explosions. rumbling explosion. and on the ground, israel's military says its offensive has now expanded to every part

of the palestinian territory. it said its operations here will be of no less strength than those that have devastated the north. explosions, shouting. israel's already ordered more evacuations in the south of gaza, crowded with displaced people who were told to move here for their safety. a un official on the spot told the bbc that palestinians are running out of places to go. hundreds of thousands of people on the move, probably for the third orfourth time. some cannot because there's not enough transport to move them. many are well aware that they are moving to a place with no water, no shelter. it's cold, starting to rain. no... no sanitation. memories of a truce have faded fast, with a return to these all—too—familiar scenes of frantic searches in the rubble left by israeli air strikes. in khan younis, civilian casualties are overwhelming

the local hospitals. israel says it will now carry on fighting here until its goals are met. one is to remove hamas from power. while hamas says it will only talk about releasing further israeli hostages it holds if that's tied to a permanent ceasefire. meanwhile, this war — now nearly two months old — continues to take a terrible toll. i spoke to our middle east correspondent yolande knell who told us more about the latest on the israeli military expansion in the south of gaza. i mean, it's clear that the operations also continue in the north of gaza, but in the south, there has been this widening of israel's ground offensive. the israeli military said in its latest briefing that it was now present in every part of the gaza strip, certainly advancing on some of these areas around khan younis, one of the main cities in the south. we know that there were these evacuation orders that were given for areas.

the un says they account for about one fifth of khan younis. and the people who are affected, it's about 170,000 of them. some 50,000 of those, according to the un, are people who are already internally displaced within gaza because of course in the early stages of the war, people from the north of the strip were told to relocate to the south for their own safety. so that has been causing quite a lot of panic and confusion, particularly with this map being put up online. and of course, communications and the internet is so patchy across gaza, it's been difficult for people to access that information. the un has also been warning that the areas that they're being told they should now evacuate to are places that are already extremely overcrowded with other displaced people. and what's the feeling there in israel about the continuation of these air strikes, this military action, given the number of hostages still being held? and i'm just reading that the death toll from the october the seventh

attacks by hamas continues to go up even today. well, of course, the warning that came out in advance of all this from the prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, and others was that the war would resume once that seven day truce had really broken down. and the worries for many israelis will be about what happens to those 136 hostages that we're told remain inside the gaza strip. it looks like at the moment the heavy bombardment that's happening, particularly around khan younis, is kind of a precursor to a ground operation. looking in the israeli media, many of the military analysts this morning are talking about how this is going to be a tough period of urban warfare. it is believed by israel that top leaders of hamas, including the leader of hamas in gaza, yahya sinwar, the head of the military wing of hamas, mohammed deif,

are hiding out in khan younis, that there are many hamas fighters who remain in that area. but also complicating this, of course, all the palestinians who have been displaced there and indeed it's believed also by israel that some of the israeli hostages that remain in gaza could be in that khan younis area. rescuers have found the bodies of ii climbers after the mount marapi volcano erupted in west sumatra on sunday. three climbers were found alive. but, 12 more are still missing. dozens of other climbers were evacuated from the area. the volcano threw ash nearly 10,000 feet or 3,000 metres into the air. mount marapi is one of the most active volcanos in the region and is one of 130 active volcanoes in indonesia, which sits on the pacific ring of fire. i spoke to our correspondent shaimaa khalil who told us more about those killed and injured. we know that the three people rescued were near the top of the,

close to the volcano. they have suffered multiple burns. the volcano erupted on sunday, dozens of climbers had been on the mountain slopes since saturday. we know 49 have been evacuated from the area, we also know the rescuers have been taking turns and taking people from the top of the mountain all the way down to ambulances for safety. many of those who were evacuated have also suffered burns. you know, you could see how dramatic it all is, these huge plumes of volcanic smoke going all the way up as high as three kilometres. we saw footage from within an ambulance driving to the scene, driving through streets are covered with white dust. even social media pictures that have been released and shares offer some of the survivors with their faces covered in ash. we know that the

evacuation... there were 12 people missing, and the searches have continued... smaller eruptions. the risk of lava damage. mount marapi is one of the most active volcanoes in the region. one of the most active volcanoes in the region-— one of the most active volcanoes in the region. what does this eruption and the sad — the region. what does this eruption and the sad deaths _ the region. what does this eruption and the sad deaths and _ the region. what does this eruption and the sad deaths and injuries - the region. what does this eruption i and the sad deaths and injuries mean for those who are going to be allowed to access the other volcanoes? it allowed to access the other volcanoes?— allowed to access the other volcanoes? , ., ., ., ., volcanoes? it is going to mean that the are volcanoes? it is going to mean that they are going _ volcanoes? it is going to mean that they are going to — volcanoes? it is going to mean that they are going to have _ volcanoes? it is going to mean that they are going to have to _ volcanoes? it is going to mean that they are going to have to be - they are going to have to be extremely careful, but also, that the authorities are going to issue a lot of warnings. this area right now, the second—highest alert has been issued. we know to climbing routes have already enclosed. the fact that this particular volcano, mount marapi, it has been active since february, there was a small eruption in the start of the year.

1400 eruption in the start of the year. 11100 people live on the slopes of the mountain and have been prohibited from coming within three kilometres of the scene. seeing how unstable the terrain is and how unstable the terrain is and how unstable the terrain is and how unstable the area is, it is going to make the rescue and search mission is quite complicated for the authorities.— is quite complicated for the authorities. ~ . , , ., ., authorities. what is its meaning for the --eole authorities. what is its meaning for the peeple in _ authorities. what is its meaning for the people in the _ authorities. what is its meaning for the people in the local _ authorities. what is its meaning for the people in the local area? - authorities. what is its meaning for the people in the local area? that i the people in the local area? that is the thing. _ the people in the local area? that is the thing, we _ the people in the local area? twat is the thing, we understand there is still... that they are still in place in terms of where they live. they have not been evacuated. we also know that they have been warned not to get closer to this area because of lava damage. we are not expecting an eruption as big as this one, but the authorities are saying they are experiencing smaller eruptions, which means it could be very unstable for the people in the area. so far, those who live on the terrain, those who live near the areas, they have not been told to

evacuate. they've been told not to get within two kilometres... three kilometres, sorry, of that area. shaimaa khalil there. around the world and across uk, this is bbc news. the prime minister says the bbc should be "realistic about what it can expect people to pay" for the tv licence during times of high inflation. the licence fee — which is the main source of funding for the bbc — has been frozen for the past two years at £159 but is due to rise in april in line with inflation. hopes that the next commonwealth games could be held in australia have been dashed as the gold coast withdraws its bid to host the event. organisers have said they may have to postpone or even cancel the next instalment of the games as federal and state governments have repeatedly ruled out supporting the event. british lawyers could be stationed in rwandan courts as part of a treaty to allow asylum seekers to be sent there.

last month, the uk supreme court ruled the plans unlawful, and downing street said it would publish a treaty with kigali to address the court's concerns about the rwandan justice system. you're live with bbc news. a video has emerged showing the president of the cop28 summit in the uae casting doubt on the world's ability to phase out fossil fuels , without, as he put it, going back to living in caves. the guardian newspaper published video of sultan aljaber, video of sultan al—jaber, telling an online event last month that there is no science to say phasing out fossil fuels achieves the climate goal of limiting global temperature rise to 1.5 degrees above pre—industrial levels. speaking today at the cop28 summit, sultan al—jaber said that we need to

limit to 1.5 degrees. we emphasise that they are focused and that he believes in a science. let that they are focused and that he believes in a science.— believes in a science. let me say from the outset _ believes in a science. let me say from the outset that _ believes in a science. let me say from the outset that everything i believes in a science. let me say i from the outset that everything this presidency has been working on continues to work on is focused and centred around the science. and, i have been crystal clear on that point in every opportunity i had with many around the world and all of my public engagements. i have always been very clear on the fact that we are making sure that everything we do is centred around the science. everything we do is centred around the science-— the science. radio four presenter soke to the science. radio four presenter spoke to the _ the science. radio four presenter spoke to the united _ the science. radio four presenter spoke to the united states - the science. radio four presenter| spoke to the united states special envoy for climate and asked what he wants from this climate conference.

we are behind on cutting emissions. i hope that we break new ground on finance because we need much larger sums of money deployed and invested in order to effect this transition. i am very hopeful the global stock—take, this is the first measurement of where we are since paris. that needs to be an honest, open, transparent, forceful, candid document which really lays out the gaps, where they exist, and what we need to do to get where we need to go. i think that if we give all of that, it would be great. tt go. i think that if we give all of that, it would be great.- go. i think that if we give all of that, it would be great. if the key thin is that, it would be great. if the key thing is limiting _ that, it would be great. if the key thing is limiting temperature - that, it would be great. if the key thing is limiting temperature rise| thing is limiting temperature rise to 1.5 degrees from preindustrial levels, we are currently on track for at least 2.5 degrees? that levels, we are currently on track for at least 2.5 degrees?- for at least 2.5 degrees? that is correct. when _ for at least 2.5 degrees? that is correct. when we _ for at least 2.5 degrees? that is correct. when we did _ for at least 2.5 degrees? that is correct. when we did paris - for at least 2.5 degrees? that is correct. when we did paris we l for at least 2.5 degrees? that is . correct. when we did paris we were on track for 3.7 — 4 degrees. we

have in fact reduced that into these new numbers. we know that if all of the promises of glasgow and sharm el—sheikh were actually being implemented, we are told we could be at 1.7 celsius. that means... it does not mean it is over, we can go home, it means that we know if we do the things we say we are going to do, we could actually keep it at 1.5 degrees. that means taking dramatic action here in dubai which is being talked about, how do we accelerate this? wejust talked about, how do we accelerate this? we just set a huge talked about, how do we accelerate this? wejust set a huge meeting the other day, a summit on methane. methane was not talked about in paris. it has slowly come into focus were people realise methane is 80-100 were people realise methane is 80—100 times more destructive than c02 but 80—100 times more destructive than co2 but only gets about 1% of the

funding effort of climate relating expenditure. so, that is going to change now. even oil and gas companies came to the table and said that they are going to put money on the table to help to reduce the leaks, the flaring, the venting, and that will make a huge contribution to getting on track. i am hoping much more of those kinds of initiatives will come to life here initiatives will come to life here in the by. live now to dr bharratjagdeo, the vice president of guyana. welcome to you. thank you for being with us. guyana has a low carbon development strategy, just explain how it works, the significance of it, how important it is your country. it, how important it is your country-— it, how important it is your count . ., country. our low carbon development strateuies country. our low carbon development strategies are — country. our low carbon development strategies are a _ country. our low carbon development strategies are a solution _ country. our low carbon development strategies are a solution to _ strategies are a solution to preserve the forest without torching the legitimate aspirations of our people for development. we have launched this over ten years ago and

we are hoping that the right incentives will be created, truly, lcd s, the incentives will be created, truly, lcd 5, the ultimate use of our forest. here are a few things: our forests are the size of england and scotland combined. secondly, they remove from the atmosphere the equivalent of it the emissions of four scandinavian countries together. our forest four scandinavian countries together. ourforest isjust four scandinavian countries together. our forest is just about 1% of global forest. we have been able, through a market—based mechanism recently launched,... if we sold 30% of our forest carbon which was internationally certified for $750 million at a minimum, which was internationally certified for $750 million ata minimum, if which was internationally certified for $750 million at a minimum, if we used the same pricing, we will raise about 2.5 billion us dollars in the next ten years. considering we are

just 1% of tropical forests, for the remaining 99% of tropical forests, they have had less than 2.5 billion us dollars pledged for conservation for the 99% of the remaining forests. so, we believe that only the market... there is a paucity of public funds given the inability of the world to capitalise their gcf and put money into the loss and damage found at an adequate level, that you are not going to find adequate public money to outcompete the ultimate use of the forest, that is why the market is so important. we believe that if the right incentives are given, then all of the forests, given the major role, as i explained, without preserving forest, there is no net zero. we believe the market is the right

or sexual relationship that is not considered to be formal or established, and swiftie — an enthusiastic fan of a certain american pop star. live now to dr stephen penn, lecturer for english studies at university of stirling. welcome, good to have you on the programme. i only knew a couple of these words, as i admitted there. i am guessing you knew them all? t am guessing you knew them all? i have to say i was more familiar with some of them than others. {lita have to say i was more familiar with some of them than others.- have to say i was more familiar with some of them than others. ok, so you did not? to — some of them than others. ok, so you did not? to be — some of them than others. ok, so you did not? to be honest, _ some of them than others. ok, so you did not? to be honest, i— some of them than others. ok, so you did not? to be honest, i didn't - some of them than others. ok, so you did not? to be honest, i didn't know. did not? to be honest, i didn't know all of them, — did not? to be honest, i didn't know all of them, no. _ did not? to be honest, i didn't know all of them, no. take _ did not? to be honest, i didn't know all of them, no. take us _ did not? to be honest, i didn't know all of them, no. take us through - did not? to be honest, i didn't know| all of them, no. take us through why we do these lists.— we do these lists. what do they tell us about the _ we do these lists. what do they tell us about the english _ we do these lists. what do they tell us about the english language? - we do these lists. what do they tell us about the english language? i i us about the english language? i think that they are really telling us about how the english language is changing and the important thing, and i think what is quite telling about the facts that neither of us really had heard of all of these words is that these words are used in a range of different contexts,

some of which are going to be contexts in which younger users will use them, so things like �*rizz�*. but, i think also that, if you look elsewhere on the list, we have things like influencing, swiftie... we all know swiftie. d — influencing is something that is arguably going to be more familiar to younger people, but probably also people that use the internet a lot. i think it is good this service taking into account all english, notjust printed english, it is looking at printing english, spoken english as well. ~ l, l, , ,, well. when we look at words like 'rizz', it makes _ well. when we look at words like 'rizz', it makes me _ well. when we look at words like 'rizz', it makes me feel - well. when we look at words like 'rizz', it makes me feel old. - well. when we look at words like 'rizz', it makes me feel old. i - 'rizz', it makes me feel old. i haven't even had my teenage kids use

we start on a cold note but as we head through the mid week period it is going to become wetter and windier, but also milder as the weather comes back in from the atlantic. what is happening at the moment is low pressure is driving our weather and it today will be slowly moving northwards. there is a lot of cloud and rain associated with this, some hill snow, but even some of the snow getting too lower levels at times and it will be cold today and also blustery. the strongest winds will be with exposure in west wales, the southwest and channel islands where we could have gusts to gale force. we have the cloud, the rain and hill snow across england and also wales. some of that getting down to lower levels at times. some snow showers across eastern and northern parts of scotland and on the hills of northern ireland. but we do have that cold feel, especially if you are exposed to the wind. through this evening and overnight the centre of the low pressure pulls away to the near continent but we are still dragging in this north—easterly wind.

so there will still be a lot of cloud and also some patchy light rain and showers and still some hill snow across the southern uplands, northern england on the hills and also the hills of wales. under clear skies for the rest of scotland and northern ireland it is going to be cold, frosty and the risk of ice on untreated surfaces. we could start the day with —8 in parts of the highlands. but here it will be brighter. meanwhile in the south for england and for wales the low pressure continuing to drift towards the near continent taking the showers with it and the showers across eastern parts of scotland are likely to be wintry in nature. through the course of tomorrow, our temperature range, three in the north, to about ten as we push towards the south. overnight tuesday into wednesday it's going to be cold and during the day on wednesday you can see the milder air starting to pull in from the west pushing across us during the course of thursday. wednesday will start on a cold note with a widespread frost. it could be —10 in parts of the highlands with some freezing fog.

but a lot of dry weather until we see the change in the weather from the west, as some wetter and windier conditions come in. but with that, so do milder conditions.
