live from london, this is bbc news. the who says an israeli raid has shut down the last major health facility in northern gaza. the white house says russia may be responsible for the azerbaijan airlines plane crash on christmas day. indians gather to pay their respects to former prime minister. thick fog is causing

travel disruption around israel says the hospital was being used by hamas as a command centre, but has not provided any evidence to support this.

our correspondent emir nader is injerusalem and i asked what the health picture in gaza now looks like. much worse, it has now been put out of service, we have just heard from the deputy minister of health in gaza this morning and told us that the staff at the hospital was forcibly evacuated yesterday around a 100 of the staff are taken to a place to be interrogated. some of them have been released and it was a hard night of interrogation. others are understood to be detained including the director of the hospital, now, those who have been released have had a chance to go to a nearby hospital which was itself evacuated by the israeli military earlier in the israeli military earlier in the week. it has been, it has been proposed as a place where the staff could continue their

work. they said the staff has said that there is no hospital to speak of, there are the indonesian hospital. they see there is no sort of running water and electricity. the world health organization said that they are very concerned for the patients had acute needs including ventilation. it does not appear to be equipped in order to take care of their needs. now, the israeli military have cleared the hospital yesterday and said it was being used by hamas as a stronghold. it's something that hamas have denied. but, the medical picture in the north of gaza in the northernmost area is looking extremely dire. now with the last major hospital put out of action. here's the spokesperson for the world health organization tarikjasarevic who told us what healthcare options people in gaza now have left.

really there is almost nothing left in the north of gaza. people who are still there will simply have no option to receive any medical care. the people who are injured, that's close to a death sentence. what we have been doing in our previous visit was to try and get the patients to al—shifa hospital, that is in the area for the south. but really we need those hospitals to function. amir avivi, is a retired idf brigadier general, and ceo of israel's defence & security forum. i asked him what his response was to claims that israel is targeting civilians.

i think it's a wrong and terrible thing to say. israel never, ever targets civilians intentionally. but you do see hamas terrorists disguising as workers. we have seen that unwra has become a terror organisation. unwra here is referred like a un, you know, entity, but it's a terror organisation full of terrorists. so it's very difficult to, in gaza to differentiate between the civil side and the terrorist side, because the terrorists disguised as civilians, they shoot, they fight. and it's very, very challenging for the israeli army to really a pinpoint and see exactly who is the terrorist. the head of the world health organisation has told the bbc that it was public knowledge he was in yemen on thursday when israel launched air strikes at houthi targets. this is footage from the incident. dr tedros adhanom ghebreyesus, who's now injordan,

said the main target, the international airport in sanaa, was a civilian facility and should not have been hit. at least six people were killed. israel says it was targeting military infrastructure but dr tedors says he only survived through good fortune. it was very chaotic, you know, people were in disarray and running everywhere. there was no shelter. we were completely exposed. it's a matter of luck otherwise if the missile deviated slightly it could have been on ahead. so, my colleague, after all that, we escaped death narrowly. it's a civilian airport. i think there are rules to engagement and that has to be respected and that's why we have

international laws. what we're saying is law should be respected. yemen is 2000 kilometres from israel. yes, they kept shooting ballistic missiles. trying to target and thousands of israelis. in the last few days, every night, a training in the morning, little kids, families, wake up to the sound of sirens and run to shelters because they thought they would be shot again. again, the difference between killing israeli citizens and the reality we experience is that there is a good defence that israel enjoys. israel is obviously

retaliating. attacking, centres of gravity, mainly the capability to get iranian weapons and capabilities from the seaport or from the airport. so, idf is targeting infrastructure. they are also operating against them, they are undermining the whole globe. are undermining the whole lobe. ,, ., , ., seen indications the united states indications says it's seen �*early indications�* that suggest an azerbaijani airlines plane which crashed in kazakhstan this week was possibly brought down by russian air defence systems. russia has so far refused to comment on the allegations. the airline says preliminary results of an investigation into the incident found there was �*external physical and technical interference�*. but the report stopped short of accusing any group or country of being responsible. the azerbaijan transport minister said all of the 29 survivors of the crash �*without exception�* said they heard three blast sounds when

the plane was flying above grozny in southern russia. the head of russia�*s aviation authority says the plane was unable land at grozny airport because of a ukrainian drone attack. 38 people died when the plane came down, two miles short of the runway, at aktau airport, in kazakhstan. this report from jon donnison. u nfortu nately we unfortunately we don�*t have that report. let�*s speak to anthony venetz who used to be an airline pilot — and is also — a former air crash investigator. talk us through what comes next. we�*ve had the recovered, where do we go from here? this is the case _ where do we go from here? this is the case with _ where do we go from here? this is the case with all— is the case with all investigations of this nature, the first thing is gathering the first thing is gathering the factual information. so, of course we have a tendency to come up with some preliminary

theories on what might�*ve happened. but, really, the basis of it is on gathering factual information first. there�*ll be a lot of different sources of that information so details about plane flights, even background on the aircraft itself, it maiden records, things like the flight crew and their qualifications, let urological information, all that background information and then we�*ll be looking for information to do with what�*s going on roads and in the flight path of the time. there be satellite or radar data available, of course, data available, of course, data available from the aircraft itself. then, investigators are going to be looking at the wreckage itself very closely of course, so, doing physical examination of the wreckage on the site. potentially some,

there might be some traces of there might be some traces of the aircraft were it had its problems are close to grozny it seems to see if there are pieces of their craft on the ground as well. at pieces of their craft on the ground as well.— pieces of their craft on the ground as well. at the heart of this investigation, _ ground as well. at the heart of this investigation, is _ ground as well. at the heart of this investigation, is this - ground as well. at the heart of this investigation, is this raw l this investigation, is this raw information. now, if there is a crash in america or france or britain, one would hope all the organisations involved would be forthcoming but that raw information but we are talking about russia. you talk about azerbaijan, kazakhstan, that may prove challenging. talk is through some of difficulties. well, the purpose of the safety investigation is to find the root of what happened in the first place and working back from the accident and why the aircraft crashed so for example, one scenario might be that the hydraulics all the controls were damaged due to an

external attack. controls were damaged due to an externalattack. if controls were damaged due to an external attack. if you�*re following that information back to the root cause, well, how much access are investigators going to have to the people that might have been involved? so, that is pretty questionable. but what kind of access they will have. thank you very much. thank you. the state funeral of the former indian prime minister, manmohan singh has been taking place in the capital delhi. india�*s first sikh prime minister died on thursday at the age of 92. our correspondent, arunoday mukharji, was at the funeral. this is where he was cremated with full state honours a short while back, people are slowly starting to disperse. the heavy

police presence because they were leaders from the political parties right from the prime minister to several politicians of opposition parties as well. that is testament to who the former prime minister was, serving as the leader of the country from 2040 2014. but prior to that, known primarily for being the finance minister 1991 and changing the economic policy opening it up to foreign investment. that was the time when the economic growth story began and that�*s what he is known for. that is why you see the kind of condolence messages that have been pouring in right from various political parties, including the prime minister said india today is morning one of the countries most distinguished leaders. they pour in, we have seen dignitaries, we have seen

politicians we also seen ordinary citizens and various congress party supporters who have come into pay their respects. airline passengers are being warned they could face further travel disruption today as thick fog — which led to dozens of cancellations and delays across uk airports yesterday — continues. simonjones has this report. as the fog descended at heathrow airport, so did the gloom for the passengers caught up in the delays and cancellations it has been causing. hundreds of flights at several airports, including gatwick and glasgow, have been affected at one of the busiest times for travel during the festive break. at manchester, those returning to the uk after christmas abroad were relieved finally to touch down, even if it was much later than expected. we were an hour late boarding, then when we got on the plane, they said it was going to be another hour and a half, because they were queueing up at this end because of the fog.

so otherwise we would have been flying around with no fuel. i think it was delayed by two hours or something like that, due to the fog and stuff. i'm glad to be back home. this was the murk at cardiff. the uk�*s main air traffic control provider nats put in place temporary air traffic restrictions due to the widespread fog. in a statement, it said... but there are warnings that this might not be quick to resolve. the airlines, despite all their best efforts last night, will be faced with a big problem this morning, that their planes and their pilots aren�*t necessarily in the right place to start getting people where they need to be. so i�*m afraid disruption could continue all day, and if fog remains, then that is going to be very disruptive for tens

of thousands of passengers. drivers are being urged to take care on the roads too, as many make the journeys home from family and friends. the tricky conditions have been created by persistent low cloud, mist and fog being trapped in place by a slow—moving area of high pressure. the moist air has created a lot of cloud, which has got lower and lower, so lots of misty and murky conditions, particularly on friday, which had a few impacts for some roads and airports. the good news is, through saturday, winds will pick up, so will see the cloud start to break up in the north, still a pretty misty and murky day for much of england and wales. the fog has created some stunning scenes, but those hoping to travel today will certainly be glad to see the back of these wintry wonders. simon jones, bbc news. a 49—year—old man is to appear in court charged with two counts of murder after two women died following a suspected

stabbing in milton keynes on christmas day. jazwell brown is accused of killing joanne pearson and teohna grant and is also charged with the attempted murders of another man and a teenage boy. he�*ll appear at high wycombe magistrates�* court. now it�*s time for a look at today�*s sport with chetan. we are going to start with cricket australia remaining in charge of the full test in melbourne, they have help thanks to a superb first from playing only his fourth test. the 21—year—old is unbeaten, 105 to 190 146, a special moment for his dad. 116 months behind going into today, they have hope that at least a draw
