the letter was sent to the israeli government on sunday. it says the us has deep concern about the deteriorating humanitarian situation in gaza, warning that 1.7 million civilians are at high risk of lethal contagion, having been forced into a narrow coastal area by israel's evacuation orders. the letter demands urgent and sustained actions this month to reverse this trajectory, saying israel must, starting now and within 30 days, act to boost aid supplies. it warns that failure may have implications for us policy. and it quotes american law, which prohibits military assistance to countries that impede the delivery of aid. critics have long accused the us of failing to leverage its weapons supply to israel to get what it wants on the protection of civilians in gaza. it has always rejected that, but now it is issuing its starkest warning

yet to the israelis to do more to get aid in and to do it now. at the state department, officials say the letter is a matter of us law. good afternoon, everyone. there will be those who say you've had a year to write this letter to issue such a stark warning to the israelis. why has it taken so long? shouldn't assume that the letter is our first intervention with the government of israel about the situation. just over the past few months, we have been making it clear to them that we needed to see results, and we haven't seen the results. president biden�*s pressure on its government is increasing near the end of his term, but the war in gaza may yet last a lot longer. tom bateman, bbc news, washington. the israeli military says lebanon fired 50 rockets overnight and lebanese state media reports two air strikes in the southern suburbs of beirut. the first attack on the city

in six days. it comes after the deputy leader of hezbollah said his group is prepared to keep fighting and suggested the only solution is a ceasefire. the un human rights office called for an investigation into an israeli air strike that killed at least 22 in the northern lebanese village. with many women and children among the dead. israel said it is targeting hezbollah that hides among civilians. death tolls don't tell life stories. this is zhanna kassem, a young mother. she fled israel's attacks in the south, only to be killed with baby eileen in an air strike in the north. they died with relatives and neighbours from a shia border village. all had sought refuge in a christian district. typically, these areas are not targeted. "0h, mother mary," says this man seeing the destruction that came without warning.

israel says it struck a hezbollah target and is investigating the claim that civilians were killed. it's more than a claim here and elsewhere. in recent weeks, we've travelled around lebanon reporting on half a dozen air strikes that killed only civilians — 53 in total. that's according to relatives, rescue workers, neighbours and, in some cases, officials. this was september 27th in the sunni border village of shabaa. an israeli air strike killed nine civilians, including four children — all members of an extended family. nasri hamdan can now kiss his son yusuf only on the screen.

and now the rest of today's news. more than 200 doctors and specialists are calling for an urgent review to ensure people in england can get weight loss injections on the nhs. it comes a day after the prime minister said they could boost britain's economy by getting unemployed people back into work. 0ur health reporter michelle roberts has more. the nhs can prescribe weight loss injections, but access is limited. there have been reports of global stock shortages and, currently in the uk, the treatment can only be offered by specialist weight management services. some patients go private, but many others miss out. top experts are warning the health secretary. they say government must fix the fundamentals — chronic underfunding, workforce challenges and unequal access to nhs obesity services. their letter comes as a new report by the obesity health alliance, which represents health charities and medical royal colleges, says

some patients can wait up to five years for specialist support. according to the 0ha, around four million people in england are eligible for an injection called wegovy, but nhs projections estimate that, by 2028, fewer than 50,000 people a year would get the treatment. the upcoming approvalfor the nhs to use another injection called mounjaro is expected to place even more demand on the system, the experts warn. sarah le brocq, a member of 0ha and the founder of the charity all about 0besity, says there's more than enough medication, but the nhs is struggling to make sure it gets to the right people. the supply of drugs is not the issue at all. it's about delivery and how the nhs is set up in order for people to get access to the medication. the infrastructure is not there. people have to access these medications through a specialist weight management service. only 44% of the country have access to these services.

so, already, there's kind of an inequity going on and people just having a bit of a postcode lottery. the government says it's backing the new medicines, as well as taking action to prevent obesity problems in the first place — through measures such as restricting junk food advertising on tv and online. michelle roberts, bbc news. the archbishop of canterburyjustin welby has warned of a "slippery slope" ahead of an assisted dying bill being officially introduced to parliament. the law change, would give people who are terminally ill in england and wales, the right to end their life, as our religion editor aleem maqbool reports we want choice! should the terminally ill be allowed to choose when to die? it's a question that, after years of debate, is back in sharp focus. when it comes to the idea of an assisted dying bill of the kind that's about to be introduced in parliament, the archbishop of

canterbury is unequivocal. i think this approach is both dangerous and sets us in a direction which is even more dangerous. and in every other place where it's been done has led to a slippery slope. and in the institution he heads, he's not alone. well, the last time the church of england voted on the subject of assisted dying, which was only a couple of years ago, only 7% of its general assembly, the synod voted in favour of a change in the law. that is massively out of kilter when it comes to opinion polls that have been conducted in wider society. there are members of the clergy who feel their faith, and their experience guides them differently to the archbishop. reverend val plumb�*s world and her views on assisted death

were turned upside down when her mother was dying of pancreatic cancer. i remember this moment of looking in my mother's eyes andjust being herand me, and she said to me, "i'm not afraid to die, val, but please, i'm terrified of suffering. please don't let me suffer." and i couldn't stick to that. reverend val is now a passionate advocate for allowing the terminally ill to choose. she sometimes feels the very institution she belongs to makes her feel bad for that. but the man who leads it says he comes from a place of compassion, too. i've sat with people at the bedside and people have said, i want mum, i want my daughter, i want my brother to go because this is so horrible. i haven't said that's the wrong thing to do. what i'm saying is something completely different. for him, this is about opening the door to more and more

people feeling like they should opt for an assisted death, but the church may find itself left behind in a fast evolving discourse. aleem maqbool, bbc news, in canterbury. the former head of the army, general sir mike jackson, has died at the age of 80. he led the army during the allied invasion of iraq in 2003, after serving in northern ireland and bosnia. in 1999, he famously refused an order to intercept russian forces when they entered kosovo without nato�*s agreement. "i'm not going to start the third world war for you" he told a us commander. job coaches will visit seriously ill patients on mental health wards to try to get them back to work, the government has said. trials of employment advisers giving cv and interview advice in hospitals produced dramatic results, according to the work and pensions secretary liz kendall. however, disability rights uk has raised some

concerns with the proposal. researchers say there's no evidence that nut particles can travel through the air in a plane and cause allergic reactions. airlines often ask passengers not to eat nuts on board to keep those with allergies safe. however, in a review published by the british medicaljournal, experts said the real danger was from nut residue left on seats. this morning, we'll get an update on the state of the economy as the latest inflation figures are released by the office for national statistics. it's expected to show that the rate at which prices are rising has slowed down, though many are still feeling the impact of high costs over the last two years. our business correspondent marc ashdown reports. 96. it's sue's turn to top up on her shopping. that's the idea of the food pantry at st andrew's community network. once a week, this church becomes a food hub where people pay £3.50 to bag around £25

worth of essentials. the fridge and the freezer is full today. even for people like sue, who isn't on benefits, it can prove a big help. when you're on a pension, things are a bit tight, so it does help coming along here. they have a fair bit of choice, especially with... i try to make everything from scratch. um, pot noodles. there are eight of these pop—up pantries across the city. volunteers are keen to stress they're not free food banks, but can help people in various challenging circumstances. like carol, who's also a member because her husband is diabetic and needs lots of fresh fruit and veg. we're spending £120 a week for three adults. we can't have the cheap stuff that's full of sugar from the supermarket. and without the pantry, that's all i'd be able to afford. inflation easing just means prices aren't rising as fast

as they have been. and since 2021, food prices have gone up by 30% overall and energy bills by 40%. more and more people have come to rely on these services as a vital safety net. we've seen more families needing to use our services, needing to use food banks, needing to access pantries, coming to have support from debt advisers and benefits advisers, and then a particular increase in working families, as well. today's inflation figure is conventionally used by the government as a benchmark for a range of benefit rises next april. around 50 people attend each session here and, for now, organisers expect that number to keep rising, too. mark ashdown, bbc news. we get the official figure at seven o'clock. ben's here to tell us more. as we heard from marcjust now,

september's inflation figures are important as they are a benchmark for benefit rises next april. some benefits, by law, should rise at least in line with prices. they include all the main disability benefits such as personal independence payments, attendance allowance and disability living allowance, as well as carer's allowance. the most important benefit is universal credit, which is claimed by seven million people. it's also expected to rise with the september inflation figure but that's a decision for ministers. we should get confirmation at the budget in two weeks. the work and pensions secretary says overall reform of the benefits system is needed. i want to see those costs coming down because i want to have people able to work to get on in their work, which is good for them and good for companies. that requires fundamental reform of the current system of employment support. many economists are expecting inflation to have slowed — perhaps even below the bank of

england's target of 2%. that would mean price rise pressures on households and businesses are easing, but would also signal lower rises in benefits next april. in any case, we'll get the figure at seven this morning. yesterday we told you about the plight of salford lads club, which needs to raise 250—thousand pounds by the end of november to secure its future. the venue rose to fame after it featured on a smiths album cover. now musician graham nash has donated £10,000 to help save it from closure. the singer spent his childhood and teenage years in salford and the club was a place where he and and his hollies band mate, allan clarke, would often rehearse. not a bad chunk of the 250,000. still need a little bit more. have

you noticed isn't not as cold today. so when you said yesterday was getting warmer, you were spot on. good morning. you are right. it is a mild start. 0n the south coast at the moment temperatures around 16-17. it will be the moment temperatures around 16—17. it will be a mild day across the board. we have heavy rain. you can see what has happened overnight with a lot of rain pushing northwards and there will be surface water on the roads particularly in wales and the south—west. the rain continues northwards and eastwards. low cloud around it and some coastal fog, some of which will linger in the west but as it clears in the likes of western scotland and northern ireland, we could see showers but brighter. ahead of it, before the rain arrives in the far

south—east, in the sunshine we could reach 21 possibly 22. 0vernight, the rain advances northwards and eastwards. windy in shetland. we have a second weather front bringing more rain. also it pushes eastwards. behind it clear skies. the wind will turn to a south—westerly and once again another mild night. the overnight low 10—15. through thursday, we have the dregs of the cloud and rain in the north and east to clear and then a lot of sunshine around. in the west, showers. fairly hit and miss. around. in the west, showers. fairly hitand miss. a around. in the west, showers. fairly hit and miss. a breezy day for most. 0nce hit and miss. a breezy day for most. once again, another mild one. 13—18 north to south. it makes a change. it is helping today. we heard details yesterday about the uk's growing reliance on incinerators as our main means of dealing with household rubbish.

well, today we can reveal details of a £1 million pay offer made to residents living near the uk's biggest incinerator. 0ur environment correspondent matt mcgrath has more. this giant incinerator burns massive amounts of our black—bag waste and turns it into electricity. and this is what it's like for the people living next door. around 180 residents living nearby launched a legal claim against the operator viridor complaining about the noise, the smells and the steam. the bbc can reveal that a settlement figure of around £1 million was paid — worth some £4,500 perfamily. you must be george. i'm here. nice to meet you, how are you doing? i'm fine, thank you. but not everyone was happy with the deal and its conditions. if you wanted the money, you had to sign a non—disclosure agreement, which everybody did. i didn't. so why didn't you?

well, i think they've been unfair in what they're paying and completely unfair in what they're doing. they're damaging the environment notjust for me and notjust this area. if they're paying £1 million out and getting everybody to sign this order — in other words, £1 million hush fund and a gagging order. we've investigated the issues raised by george and others impacted by the incinerator and put the response of the operator viridor under the spotlight. we've managed to get hold of copies of the agreement that have been sent to residents of runcorn, and it's quite clear that they face strong penalties if they speak about it. it says here that under no circumstances should you discuss the contents of any of these documents with any third party or member of the press outside your own immediate household. and signatories were told that if they broke those terms, they'd have to pay the money back and they'd also be potentially liable for legal costs. viridor said it won't make any

comment in relation to the payout and the non—disclosure agreement. in most incinerator towns like runcorn, money is tight. our research shows that waste is ten times more likely to be burned in the most deprived areas of the uk compared to the best—off neighbourhoods. eddie thompson runs seven food banks here in the town. so that's seven public—facing distribution centres open every single day and they're used every single day. the incinerator has been here nearly a decade now. how has that impacted the community? i do feel as though, because it is looked at as a dumping ground, mentally, people feel as though, in some cases, they're worthless. our investigation in runcorn has unveiled details of the biggest settlement to date involving local residents and incinerator operators. but with concerns growing over both the number and the environmental

impacts of energy from waste sites in the uk, it's unlikely to be the last. unfortunately, we've got big business here involved. bully—boy businesses. and that's what they are. unfortunately, they're the bully and that's what they're proving to be. all they think now — we'll pay this undisclosed or this million—pound payout and the problem will go away. the problem is still here, the problem is still here. matt mcgrath, bbc news, runcorn. there is more on the story on bbc iplayer right now. a film that captures the early life of donald trump before he became a reality tv star and then us president is about to be released in the uk. trump has threatened to take legal action against producers, describing the movie as "fake and classless". 0ur entertainment correspondent lizo mzimba has been speaking to the cast

about the challenges of making it. hello. this is donald trump for mr cohn. thank you so much. donald who? set in the 1970s and 1980s, the apprentice follows the rise of donald trump as a businessman in new york. there's always a level of responsibility when you're playing a real—life character, but with somebody like donald trump, that must be even more challenging. yep, yes. because i think you're fighting upstream in a way, because everyone�*s got very strong feelings about the person, and there's already baggage and projections that audiences are going to come to the theatre with. so it was about clearing all that and trying to get to the truth and have them believe it. the film focuses on his relationship with ruthless lawyer roy cohn. guilty as charged. a man who teaches the ambitious trump everything he knows. no matter what happens, you claim victory and never admit defeat. i think every great film

is about a relationship. every great film has a relationship at its core. and, you know, this is, in a way, a frankenstein story. the crux of it being roy cohn's dogma and his sort of malign influence over donald trump. well, i intend to acquire the commodore, and i'm planning on making it the best and the finest building in the city. maybe the country. in the world, judy — in the world, it's going to be the finest building in the world. it's going to be spectacular. he is one of the most divisive figures that we have at the moment. a hero to millions, the opposite to millions. did you have any hesitation about taking on this role? i think it would be, yeah, absent—minded to not factor in every everything that could come with it. but i think, for me,

the importance of the film was far surpassed any fear or any doubt or anything like that. another pivotal relationship in the film is between donald trump and his first wife, ivana. the wedding is in two days. $100,000 in my account before the wedding. i feel like the relationship| between ivana and donald has been crucial in his, like, - development as a human being, because i think. he fell in love, fell for her because she's been - so outspoken, so bold and daring to demand her position and her equality, - which, in the beginning l at least, he was missing. he was under the shadow of his father, and seeing i her demanding to be treated equally and having her voice heard - has been important for him. the film has been criticised by donald trump and his team since it premiered in cannes, with the former president calling the movie a cheap, defamatory and politically disgusting hatchet job.

how challenging was it getting this movie released, particularly in the united states? when we were in cannes and we got like a standing ovation and everyone was so happy and, you know, flattering and all that, i was thinking, "0h, it's going to be a bidding war." you know, do i want to go warner? do i want to go netflix? who do i want to pick? and then that was not how it turned out. so it's been quite a ride. with the american election in early november, it's likely to be one of the most talked about films over the coming weeks. we have a brand new campaign slogan, let's make america great again. mm. — well, i like the again part. lizo mzimba, bbc news. gosh, he looks so much like him there. we could get the news where you are.

a very good morning, welcome to bbc london, i'm thomas magill. there are calls for the mayor to do more to chase up drivers who fail to pay their ultra low emission zone fines. latest figures show that more than £370 million is owed in unpaid ulez penalty charge notices. in a letter to sadiq khan, the london assembly called for the collection of unpaid notices to be ramped up so investment in transport services does not suffer. city hall says more than £25 million has been re—couped in the last year and more investigators are being taken on. a woman living in sheltered housing in north london says she is afraid her council is waiting for her to die before carrying out repairs to her property. sharon lawson says the floors in her bounds green flat are crumbling. haringey council has apologised and vowed to get the work done as soon as possible. potentially it could go through the ceiling, yes. it could go through potentially.

because it's collapsing here. this is what i said, you're waiting for me to die. that's my wording to haringey council. i want a decent quality of life in the years i've got and somewhere else. a 16—year—old boy has been cleared by a judge of endangering life after starting a fire at a catholic school in west london. a major incident was declared after smoke and flames broke out in the atrium of the london 0ratory school in fulham in december last year. the youth, who cannot be named because of his age, was arrested by police on the same day and initially denied a charge of arson before later pleading guilty to the offence. the stirling prize for architecture will be announced tonight 0ut of the six finalists, four are in london ranging from the king's cross redevelopment, and the elizabeth line to a small social housing development designed

by a fledgling architectural firm. let's take a look at the tubes now. there's a good service on the tubes this morning. now onto the weather with kat. hello there, good morning to you. it's a mild start to the day. misty in places this morning, mostly cloudy skies at first, and a few showers. but as the day progresses that cloud will break up to allow for some sunny spells. i think this afternoon most of the rain particularly the heavier bursts should stay out to the west, and that southerly airflow temperatures rise to about 21 degrees which is well above average for this time of year. but it's really through this evening that rain will start to fill in from the west. you can see the green indicating the heavier bursts. and you might even hear a few rumbles of thunder. but most of that rain should clear through quite quickly. by the end of the night it's looking much drier for us. there is going to be a lot of cloud lingering. 0ur temperatures will fall away

to around 14 to 15 degrees, another very mild start to thursday morning.
