so we will continue to stand up for israel's bedrock right to defend itself, and we will also continue to urge the protection of civilians during conflict and to increase the flow of humanitarian aid into gaza. israel will not control gaza in any civilian way. we will conduct any needed operation, military effort in order to secure our future. israel's troops were reminded by their boss yesterday- of the rules of war — - when to fire, when to stop. orders for soldiers, - questions for politicians. the un security council was scheduled to hold a key vote

tonight on whether to demand a humanitarian pause in fighting between israel and hamas, but with representatives trying to come to an agreement on the exact wording of the resolution, it's been postponed at the very last minute to tomorrow. we'll talk to a spokesperson from the israeli government. could that pause in voting have something to do with the us defense secretary's visit to israel today? also tonight, the british oil giant bp and a number of key shipping companies have halted all shipments through the red sea after a rise in attacks on cargo ships by houthi militants in yemen. and stick around, later in the show we will take a close look at this yea r�*s forgotten conflict, the sudanese civil war. we will hear from our analysis editor ros atkins and the un's top expert on the conflict. good evening. a vote within the un security council which was supposed to take place tonight has been postponed. the negotiation will continue into tomorrow over a draught resolution which calls for a humanitarian pause in gaza.

ten days ago, the us vetoed a call for a cease—fire. this time, there is hope that an amended draught can be agreed, and that's because the text was changed this afternoon by the us. the language proposed by arab states called for "an urgent and sustainable cessation of hostilities to allow safe and unhindered humanitarian access". that was replaced with a "call for the urgent suspension of hostilities to allow safe and unhindered humanitarian access and for urgent steps towards a sustainable cessation of hostilities". would that be enough for it to pass? we don't know, but the decision to pause the vote coincides with the visit of the us defense secretary today to jerusalem. lloyd austin told reporters he advised his israeli counterpart how to make the war in gaza more "surgical", but the timing of any new phase in the fighting, he said,

remains a decision for the israelis. we will continue to stand up for israel's bedrock right to defend itself, and we will also continue to urge the protection of civilians during conflict and to increase the flow of humanitarian aid into gaza. and i'm not here to dictate timelines or terms. our support to israel's right to defend itself is ironclad, as you've heard me say a number of times, and that's not going to change. so what does all that mean? let's first go to new york, where the security council is sitting. our correspondent nada tawfik is watching. talk tawfik is watching. to me first about the pores. why talk to me first about the pores. why was the decision taken to postpone the vote?— why was the decision taken to postpone the vote? yes, while the uae decided _ postpone the vote? yes, while the uae decided to — postpone the vote? yes, while the uae decided to postpone - postpone the vote? yes, while the uae decided to postpone the - postpone the vote? yes, while the uae decided to postpone the vote | uae decided to postpone the vote because i'm told by diplomats that they are very close to an agreement that would avoid a us veto on this draft resolution. but theyjust need

more time to make sure that this is absolutely the case before moving to absolutely the case before moving to a vote. just to give themselves that bit of a safety net, they have decided to postpone the vote until tomorrow morning. but what we have seen is that the draught has changed, christian, to avoid a us veto rather than the draught calling for a sustained cessation of hostilities, instead we have a language that kind of gets to it in a different way. it talks about a suspension of hostilities that would take urgent steps towards a sustainable cessation of hostilities. so you can see a bit of word gymnastics year at the un to try to certainly get stronger language out of the security council in response to that overwhelming vote in the general assembly, that non—binding resolution where 153 nations demanded a non—binding resolution where153 nations demanded a ceasefire but ultimately getting something that the united states can get behind.

you wouldn't imagine that that negotiation within the security council would be separated from lloyd or sten�*s visit to jerusalem, there must be some differential between the two parties. do you think the change in language was down to what lloyd austin was doing injerusalem? i down to what lloyd austin was doing in jerusalem?— in jerusalem? i think the language is very much _ in jerusalem? i think the language is very much was _ in jerusalem? i think the language is very much was looking - in jerusalem? i think the language is very much was looking at - in jerusalem? i think the language is very much was looking at where | is very much was looking at where the united states feels they can push israel without looking like they are abandoning or not completely getting behind their ally. i think what they have seen is certainly an increase step up in pressure in closed circles in private conversations with the united states and israel. but at the un, it has been as lloyd austin talked about an unshakeable commitment to its ally. it is always a delicate balance. that is why we are seeing such careful attention

paid to the exact wording because there is really an acknowledgement and we saw that with president biden�*s statement last week that the united states is facing growing isolation diplomatically at the un over its decisions not to be tougher on israel. and so, i think the united states is carefully trying to figure out its response her. there has been a video published tonight by hamas, prisoners of war and hostages are protected under humanitarian law so that the bbc doesn't broadcast videos filmed under duress. this doesn't broadcast videos filmed under duress.— doesn't broadcast videos filmed under duress. this is a still of the three men _ under duress. this is a still of the three men in _ under duress. this is a still of the three men in the _ under duress. this is a still of the three men in the video, - under duress. this is a still of the three men in the video, they - under duress. this is a still of the three men in the video, they are | under duress. this is a still of the l three men in the video, they are all elderly gentlemen this was taken from a kibbutz. on release of that video, hamas said that they reiterate there will be no negotiations on hostage exchange until the zionist aggression completely stops. that pertains to

what we're talking about here, they were talking about what the united states and israel might do but clearly there is not much point in calling for a humanitarian pause within the security council if hamas is not interested in that pause. well, yes, it's worth pointing out that really, every resolution we have seen in the general assembly and certainly the ones that have passed the security council have been proposed to the security council called for immediate release of hostages, the unconditional release for all hostages and any resolution that does get past also has very clear language about international law and the obligations on all parties to this conflict that are bound by those obligations international law. that would certainly apply to hamas and not just to the release would certainly apply to hamas and notjust to the release of hostages it would apply to rockets fired from the territory. again, the security

council and general assembly are trying to find a way forward. i think why we have seen so much emphasis on a ceasefire is because we have seen from the un secretary—general and others this emphasis on the fact that they think that piece is only achievable by getting hostages release, even talking about a two state solution, all of that is only possible with a ceasefire, that is with a broad consensus. certainly, all of these resolutions do underscore all party's obligations under pa rty�*s obligations under international law. party's obligations under international law.- party's obligations under international law. ., ~ , ., , international law. thank you very much. international law. thank you very much- let's _ international law. thank you very much. let's get _ international law. thank you very much. let's get some _ international law. thank you very much. let's get some reaction i international law. thank you very much. let's get some reaction to that. joining us from tel aviv this evening is tal heinrich. she is the spokesperson for the office of the israeli prime minister. thank you very much a being with us on the programme. the americans have amended the text that will go before the un security council, if that is adopted what would israel's response to be? fix. adopted what would israel's response to be? �* , .,

hostages. what happened then? hamas failed to deliver another group of hostages to be released on the new day and not only that, they also started firing at our forces. this is how we got here and we continued fighting against them because we will not rest until this terrorist regime is completely eliminated and until gaza no longer poses terrace threats to the state of israel. —— terrorist threats to the state of israel. ., . . , terrorist threats to the state of israel. ., ., ., , ., israel. you are a member of the un and as you — israel. you are a member of the un and as you know— israel. you are a member of the un and as you know this _ israel. you are a member of the un and as you know this is _ israel. you are a member of the un and as you know this is legally - and as you know this is legally binding on all members in the un. how would this be received in jerusalem? aha, how would this be received in jerusalem?— how would this be received in jerusalem? �* . . ., , ., jerusalem? a general ceasefire, of course, jerusalem? a general ceasefire, of course. israel— jerusalem? a general ceasefire, of course. israel is — jerusalem? a general ceasefire, of course, israel is in _ jerusalem? a general ceasefire, of course, israel is in abiding - jerusalem? a general ceasefire, of course, israel is in abiding by - course, israel is in abiding by international law. 50 course, israel is in abiding by international law.— course, israel is in abiding by international law. so if it was a doctor you _ international law. so if it was a doctor you will _ international law. so if it was a doctor you will consider - international law. so if it was a doctor you will consider a - international law. so if it was a i doctor you will consider a pause?

washington, they also are aware of the maximum efforts that israel has taken in this regard. just over the past days, we opened another border crossing a border crossing between israel and gaza. this is forfurther inspections of trucks, we have had 201 a trucks coming in. the inspections of trucks, we have had 201 a trucks coming in.— 201 a trucks coming in. the state department _ 201 a trucks coming in. the state department welcomed _ 201 a trucks coming in. the state department welcomed that - 201 a trucks coming in. the state i department welcomed that tonight 201 a trucks coming in. the state - department welcomed that tonight but they said it's not enough and there needs to be more.— they said it's not enough and there needs to be more. well, we have the abili to needs to be more. well, we have the ability to inspect _ needs to be more. well, we have the ability to inspect even _ needs to be more. well, we have the ability to inspect even more - needs to be more. well, we have the ability to inspect even more trucks i ability to inspect even more trucks and we said that we place no restriction on water and food supplies coming into the gaza strip will stop it is international aid groups and un agencies have to keep up groups and un agencies have to keep up with the pace when they distribute the aid. she up with the pace when they distribute the aid.— up with the pace when they distribute the aid. she was saying thou . h distribute the aid. she was saying though that _ distribute the aid. she was saying though that the _ distribute the aid. she was saying though that the broad _ distribute the aid. she was saying though that the broad consensusl distribute the aid. she was saying l though that the broad consensus is the way to get the hostages out is through a humanitarian pause. i take what you said about whether that ceasefire or pause was observed by the other side. but the simple truth

is and it's an absolute tragedy, hostages are coming home in body bags. the pause that was maintained for many days brought hostages home. do you think what happened with the three hostages who were shot by the idf, do you think that has changed the dynamics here? you idf, do you think that has changed the dynamics here?— idf, do you think that has changed the dynamics here? you see, that was very unfortunate _ the dynamics here? you see, that was very unfortunate tragic _ the dynamics here? you see, that was very unfortunate tragic event - the dynamics here? you see, that was very unfortunate tragic event and - the dynamics here? you see, that was very unfortunate tragic event and it. very unfortunate tragic event and it is a very difficult time for our nation. it was the worst nightmare that we could have imagined and somehow it came true. we investigated it and we are still investigating it because this can never, ever happen again. the force isn't working. _ never, ever happen again. the force isn't working, that _ never, ever happen again. the force isn't working, that is _ never, ever happen again. the force isn't working, that is the _ never, ever happen again. the force isn't working, that is the point - isn't working, that is the point that i am making. ijust wonder whether in fact that it has change the dynamics of the conversation within israel such that, he has to go to warsaw and talk about humanitarian pause however much the price tag might have gone up. we will price tag might have gone up. - will pursue every possible avenue, of course, to bring about the

release of more hostages. you have to remember that the only reason as to remember that the only reason as to why we have seen the release of many hostages until now was because of the military pressure that we exerted on hamas. we are hitting them hard and we were hitting them hard before that framework that brought the release of hostages and they wanted a breather. so this is what created the conditions to bring about the release of more hostages, of course, we will not rest until we get everyone back home.— of course, we will not rest until we get everyone back home. grateful for our time get everyone back home. grateful for your time this — get everyone back home. grateful for your time this evening. _ get everyone back home. grateful for your time this evening. thank - get everyone back home. grateful for your time this evening. thank you - your time this evening. thank you for coming on. your time this evening. thank you for coming on— around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. let's look at some other stories making news. the bbc understands that russell brand has been questioned for a second time by police investigating allegations of sexual offences. the 48—year—old comedian is believed to have been interviewed by detectives from the metropolitan police under caution over six non—recent sexual offences. in september, brand was accused of rape, assault and emotional abuse,

which he has strongly denied. a new type of non—hormonal menopause treatment for hot flushes and night sweats has been approved in the uk. the daily pill veoza, orfezolinetant, works on the brain's temperature control centre to alleviate symptoms which affect more than a million women in the uk. the drug has not yet been recommended for the nhs to prescribe. thousands of xl bully owners have been told they will not need to put down their dogs when a ban on the breed comes into force in two weeks. from december 31st, the dogs will have to be muzzled in public, and it will be illegal to breed, sell or abandon them. you're live with bbc news. the energy giant bp has suspended its shipping operations through the red sea because cargo vessels are being attacked by another iranian proxy, the houthi rebels in yemen. the british—owned ship the galaxy leader was seized by militants last month.

around 12% of world shipping goes through the red sea and the suez canal. several major freight companies are diverting ships around africa and the cape of good hope. here's james landale. the threat to shipping in the red sea is very real. this was an attack by iranian—backed houthi fighters last month, storming a cargo ship registered in britain. the militia from yemen claiming that any vessels owned by allies of israel were legitimate targets. so intense have the attacks become, two vessels were hit by drones today, that some of the big shipping companies are pulling out of the red sea, sending their huge vessels around southern africa instead. today, the oil giant bp announced that it too would not send its tankers through the sea way that links asia with europe. the united states, britain and other western allies do have warships in the region and have shot down some houthi drones and missiles. but lloyd austin, the us secretary

of defence, visiting israel, said he wanted other nations to do more to protect shipping. these attacks are reckless, dangerous, and they violate international law. so we are taking action to build an international coalition to address this threat. i would remind you that this is notjust a us issue, this is an international problem, and it deserves an international response. and he is right. the seaway between the suez canal in the north and the straight in the south is crucial for world trade. and the consumer goods we order blithely online. it is about protecting the supply chains because so much global trade goes through the suez canal, about 12% of the total global trade volume. that is a huge amount. the impact of this work is now being held outside its borders, the impact of this war is now

being held outside its borders, diverting ships, damaging trade. the risks of escalation still very much present. james landale, bbc news. back on the programme with us tonight... mikey kay, former uk military strategic planner who spent 20 years as an raf assault helicopter pilot. good of you to join us. good of you tojoin us. you good of you to join us. you were a strategic military planner in the british army, what is required do you think to protect shipping through this body of water? h you think to protect shipping through this body of water? i mean, ou have through this body of water? i mean, you have seen _ through this body of water? i mean, you have seen examples _ through this body of water? i mean, you have seen examples with - through this body of water? i mean, you have seen examples with this i you have seen examples with this through the piracy problem of the coast of somalia. and these huge tankers that take forever to change direction and travel at a relatively slow pace are effectively sitting ducks. especially when it comes to the straight, it is 18 miles wide and the tankers pass each other within two nautical miles. if you know that the territorial waters of any country extend out to 12 nautical miles. you get a real sense

ofjust how much of a choke point straight is and the choke point basically separates the red sea and to the north is still worth canal where the vast amount of shipping from the persian nations come through as your previous report rightly explain saving a lot of time which would otherwise have to send shipping round the southern cape of africa which adds a tremendous amount of money and logistical planning and a tremendous amount of more planning to go into getting the cargo where it needs to go. so the protection systems that you see on warships, they are the weapon system that for example have been partnering with and escorting the vulnerable shipping when it comes to the piracy problem. and on the modern warships you have something called sci ws which is a close

weapon system. that essentially is a rotating cannon which gets a significant amount of bullets per second per minute. it's directed by radar and computers and can slew onto an incoming target within around two nautical miles pretty quickly and pretty effectively. one thing that is interesting here is that it thing that is interesting here is thatitis thing that is interesting here is that it is notjust ballistic missiles that have been firing on the yemeni coast, it's things like drones as well. drones are much harder to pick up, first because they are plastic they are more nimble and they are much harder to see, quite frankly. but they are being shot down from what we hear in some of these attacks. the combination of ballistic missile and drone without something like a closed weapon system makes one of these tankers or cargo ships a bit of a sitting duck. 50. these tankers or cargo ships a bit of a sitting duck.— these tankers or cargo ships a bit of a sitting duck. so, there will be --eole of a sitting duck. so, there will be people like _

of a sitting duck. so, there will be people like you — of a sitting duck. so, there will be people like you currently - of a sitting duck. so, there will be people like you currently sitting i of a sitting duck. so, there will be people like you currently sitting in the pentagon deciding what the best policy is from here. is it better to bring nato ships into the area or is it from a military planners perspective better to take the fight directly to them. the perspective better to take the fight directly to them.— perspective better to take the fight directly to them. the fight has been taken directly _ directly to them. the fight has been taken directly to _ directly to them. the fight has been taken directly to them _ directly to them. the fight has been taken directly to them in _ directly to them. the fight has been taken directly to them in the - directly to them. the fight has been taken directly to them in the past i taken directly to them in the past in 20 15 the youthis were targeting us naval warships and as a response to the us launch missiles onto radar sites inside yemen which will being controlled by the youthis. that is quite a significant act of warfare. the other piece that you could do in terms of the graduate and proportionate response which is what effectively the rules of engagement are based on is that you can be using as a reactive measure these close weapon systems on warships that are escorting some of the major transporters are patrolling, 6.2

million barrels a day in 2018 came through that straight in 2018, which is about 10% of the shipping that goes out into the world economy in terms of patrolling products. it significant and definitely worth while looking at that graduated proportionate response with various measures from missiles if you have the identification of where these rockets and ballistic missiles are coming from all the way down to a close weapon system which is very effective to two kilometres out. well, given the disruption to the economy, you would think that all options are currently on the table. stay with us, mikey. i want to get your thoughts on the fighting in gaza and in particular the intervention sunday of the chief of staff. the israeli chief of staff. he was addressing the troops following that news that somehow the idf had shot dead three israeli hostages who were stripped to the waist and waving a white flag. in his speech to the troops that was broadcast live on israeli tv, lt col herzi halevi said... "when you see two people who do not threaten you,

who don't have weapons, who have their hands up and are not wearing shirts, take two seconds." and he added, "if these are two gazans with a white flag who want to surrender, will we shoot them? absolutely not. that is not the idf." it should go without saying that the rules of armed conflict mean that you can't shoot someone waving a white flag who is surrendering. can you talk to us about the rules of engagement because the israeli don't really tell us what their rules of engagement are, i guess that is not unusual in itself.— unusual in itself. usually there are uuidelines unusual in itself. usually there are guidelines for _ unusual in itself. usually there are guidelines for troops. _ unusual in itself. usually there are guidelines for troops. there - unusual in itself. usually there are guidelines for troops. there are i guidelines for troops. there are absolutely guidelines for troops, the rules of engagement are what direct a soldier to be able to open fire legitimately and lawfully. i think what's important to say is that in the uk military, when we are operating in iraq or afghanistan or

northern ireland, all of those tours that i did. it was that if you get it wrong as a soldier, you are susceptible and held accountable to the law. now the way the rules of engagement are an rules of engagement are an rules of engagement aren't spoken about because they are classified but the basic rules of engagement is that if whatever you are looking at is a potential target is imposing an immediate threat to life or infrastructure in that target is a legitimate target. what makes a soldier perceive that there is a threat, so, for example, if someone has an ak—47 pointed out that that is immediate threat. that soldier will have authority through the rules of engagement to neutralise that threat. if a target is looking at someone, as you pointed out, i believe there were three young men actually that were part of this, three k out of the building and two

were shot immediately, a third one went back into the building screaming hebrew and was subsequently shot which makes the scenario even worse. because there was time to have a pause and have a think. i would assume that the idf soldiers have very good systems of being able to look through binoculars and thermal imaging that would be out to give them more information on the level of the threat. but from all of the report including the white flag, including the fact that there was nothing on the fact that there was nothing on the torso. from everything that i have read and heard and everyone that i have spoken to and from my own experience, this is in a scenario where three men should have been opened up on. the scenario where three men should have been opened up on.— been opened up on. the white flag. .. we 'ust been opened up on. the white flag. .. we just coming _ been opened up on. the white flag. .. we just coming up — been opened up on. the white flag. .. we just coming up to _ been opened up on. the white flag. .. we just coming up to a _ been opened up on. the white flag. .. we just coming up to a break. - been opened up on. the white flag. .. we just coming up to a break. but i wejust coming up to a break. but i take your point that it was clearly a mistake that was made. we will be right back.

good evening. monday was a pretty cloudy day for many, with some splashes of rain, but northern areas of the uk did get to see a little bit of brightness. that was the scene for a weather watcher in the highlands earlier on. now, as we look through the rest of this week, we will see further rain at times, and it will become very windy. there is the chance that some of us will see a little bit of snow in the run—up to the christmas period. now, this is the earlier satellite picture. you can see this pipeline of cloud streaming in from the atlantic. this is our next weathersystem, really. that will bring some quite heavy rain across parts of wales and england as we head through this evening and tonight, turning really wet particularly through the second half of the night. northern england staying a little bit drier, and certainly for northern ireland and scotland, we'll see some clear skies. a few showers blowing into the north—west of scotland, some of those wintry over higher ground. cold enough here for frost and some ice. mild further south, where we start tuesday with clouds and outbreaks of heavy rain. that rain will trundle its way south—eastwards through the day, so brighter skies will follow. a scattering of showers blowing in, particularly across the western side

of scotland and into northern ireland. some of those showers wintry over high ground in scotland. it will be windy here. temperatures a little bit lower than they have been today. five degrees in lerwick and ten degrees in london by the middle part of the afternoon. but into wednesday, we see another frontal system pushing in from the atlantic. this one is a warm front, and so it will reintroduce some milder conditions. but with extensive cloud cover, it will be quite misty and murky in places, i suspect. bits and pieces of rain, it will be windy, but temperatures in many spots back up into double digits. and then we look ahead to thursday with a deep area of low pressure passing to the north of the uk. lots of isobars on this chart. it is going to be a very windy day indeed. and behind this cold front, we'll see some colder air returning. real see—saw conditions this week in terms of the feel of the weather. in the cold air, i think we'll see some snow showers across parts of scotland, even to relatively low levels in the north, where gales will combine with those snow showers to give blizzard conditions. further south, it stays mild, and so what falls from the sky

will be rain, but it is going to be a windy day wherever you are. and then, looking towards christmas itself, it stays pretty unsettled. there will be rain at times, and it may be cold enough, particularly in the north of the uk, for some snow here and there. bye— bye.

hello, i'm christian fraser. you're watching the context on bbc news. with reports from sudan suggesting the paramilitary rapid support forces have attacked a hospital and taken control of an army base just south of the capital. we will take a look at the state of the year's forgotten war. first, time for a round—up from the sports centre. hello from the bbc sport centre. we start with football and the fifa club world cup, where brazilian side fluminense have made the final after a 2—0 win over african champions al ahly. the deadlock wasn't broken until the 71st minute, jhon arias putting the south american champions ahead from the penalty spot before john kennedy sealed fluminense's place in the final, where they'll face european champions manchester city or asian champions urawa red diamonds, they play in the other

semifinal on tuesday.
