miro tabanelli lands a 2340 trick in a competition. hello, i'm rajini vaidyanthan. we start in the middle east, and comments by president trump on gaza. he's said he'd like to see a million and a half of its residents taken in by other arab nations — including jordan and egypt. he told journalists the strip was "literally a demolition site" and suggested it be "cleaned out". israeli bombardments have reduced much of gaza to rubble. hamas says it would oppose any plan to relocate palestinians, while another militant group, islamichhad, described the plans as "deplorable". but the us president's comments are already being welcomed by far—right israeli politicians, some of whom want to restore jewish settlements there. let's take a listen to what president trump told reporters on air force one. i'm looking at the whole gaza strip right now- and it's a mess. you would like jordan

to house people? i'd like egypt to take people. i'm talking to the general- tomorrow sometime, i believe. and i'd like egypt to take people i and i'd like jordan to take| people, because, i mean, you're talking about probably a million and a half people, i and we just clean - out that whole thing. over the centuries, - it's many, many conflicts on that site. and i don't know, - something has to happen, but it's literally a demolition site right now, almost- everything is demolished . and people are dying there. so i'd rather get involved - with some of the arab nations and build housing - at a different location where they can maybe live in peace for a change. - it could be temporarily. it could be long term. i

the president's comments come as thousands of displaced palestinians are gathering in central gaza — waiting for the israeli military to allow them to return to their homes in the north of the strip. on saturday, israel said it wouldn't allow palestinians to return to their north as expected — accusing hamas of breaching the terms of the ceasefire deal. here's our middle east correspondent, nick beake. this is central gaza today. thousands of palestinians who'd been told they'd be able to head north to what remains of their homes. but israel is blocking their way, accusing hamas of breaking the terms of this fragile ceasefire deal. so they wait with all they still possess. another moment of uncertainty in 15 months of war. among them, this woman, desperate to find her husband's body still buried in the rubble.

translation: the checkpoint is still closed. _ only god knows how much time it will take for the checkpoint to open. when we cross, we will still see the destruction that took place. and we will retrieve those who are buried under the rubble. this is israeli civilian hostage arbel yehud, who's being held in gaza. israel says it won't open the checkpoint until her release is arranged. hamas says she will be freed next weekend. president trump has now described gaza as a "demolition site" and talked about "cleaning out" the territory. it's brought accusations he was suggesting ethnic cleansing. the president said he'd like to see neighbouring egypt and jordan taking in more palestinians. here in israel, prominent far—right politicians have been delighted by president trump's comments. they want to see jewish settlers move into gaza eventually. hamas say they will continue to block any plan to force gazans from their homeland, and that palestinians must be the ones rebuilding the strip.

this weekend has seen four more israeli hostages released by hamas and then reunited with their families. 200 palestinian prisoners, many serving life sentences, have been freed from jail as part of this deal. a week in and this precarious truce is holding. but it's under increasing strain, and the next stages look even more fraught. nick beake, bbc news, jerusalem. and nickjoins us from jerusalem. nick, kevin what he just put in your report, do we have any indication of when these palestinian families will be able to return to their homes in the north of gaza is was part of the ceasefire agreement?- part of the ceasefire agreement? part of the ceasefire aureement? ~ ., ., ., agreement? we do not, and i thinkthat _ agreement? we do not, and i think that is _ agreement? we do not, and i think that is a _ agreement? we do not, and i think that is a source - agreement? we do not, and i think that is a source of - think that is a source of tension. we saw that at the end of the report, peoplejust

tension. we saw that at the end of the report, people just do not know. they were told that this weekend they would be able to make that trip back towards the communities, which i know are destroyed to varying degrees, so that weight continues. i think it goes to what the israelis are saying no, i think it boils down to this, they have said they will not let all those palestinian families move into the arrangements have been made for the release of the civilian hostage, who hamas say will be released next saturday, so it seems the ball is in the court of the israelis, what exactly will happen next. but it feels like this is a precarious moment, the ceasefire has been in operation for a week but it is very fragile by its nature. what reaction has been where you are under wide year —— and in the wider region to what we heard from president trump? for heard from president trump? far ritht heard from president trump? ie: right politicians in israel are delighted by what he's had to say. you got the finance

minister saying that this is a really good thing, and other prominent politicians saying it's excellent news president trump is effectively speaking their language, because a lot of the far right here have this dream, as they put it, to see jewish settlers moved into gaza and set up home stair. for the palestinian families, hundreds of thousands of families, they, i guess, like all of us, we'll be interpreting president trump's comments because just a few days ago he was talking about gaza in terms of being prime real estate, he said it had fantastic weather, it was a superb location by the sea. his latest comments have had him describe it as a wasteland, saying it is over, it needs to be cleaned out and as we've been hearing, that has prompted accusations that this suggestion he has come up with without saying whether it is temporary or permanent is tantamount to giving a green light to ethnic cleansing. the

president since he wants peace in the middle east, he wants to do deals, it may well be that people who are concerned about this sort of language would look to others who saw the mr trump may want to make a deal that involves bettering relationships and normalisation of relationships between israel and saudi arabia. it is worth stressing that the saudis surely would not stand for any sort of deal which would involve in some way millions of palestinians being forced out of gaza. . ~ palestinians being forced out of gaza. w' . ~ palestinians being forced out of gaza. ., ~ i. palestinians being forced out of gaza. ., ~ ., of gaza. nick, thank you for brinttin of gaza. nick, thank you for bringing us _ of gaza. nick, thank you for bringing us up-to-date - of gaza. nick, thank you for bringing us up-to-date on | bringing us up—to—date on developments. let's turn out to lebanon. the health ministry has accused the israeli army of farragut residents who were trying to return to the the south of the country. israel's military missed today's deadline to leave the area, as a 60—day ceasefire deal expired. it has not said how long its forces will stay in lebanon. both israeli troops and hezbollah fighters were supposed to have completed their respective withdrawals.

let's cross live to beirut and join our correspondent there, hugo bachega. just bring us up to date with what we've heard about these deaths. 50 what we've heard about these deaths. , ., deaths. so this morning right after this deadline _ deaths. so this morning right after this deadline expired, l deaths. so this morning right. after this deadline expired, we saw some dramatic images of thousands of residents trying to go back to those towns and villages along the lebanese israeli border, and in recent days, his brother —— hezbollah's tv has encouraged residents to go back home. there are still enjoying significant support here despite one is for the lebanese military and israeli military that it was not safe to do so. so some places in the south, the israeli military still has a presence and we've seen those

shootings happening, the israeli military confirming that it had opened fire, it also said that some people had been detained for interrogation, so it shows a very tense situation where is the israelis say that this withdrawal is going to continue gradually, it hasn't said how long these troops will remain in the country, but obviously, this is a country that has memories of israeli occupation is in the idea that israeli soldiers are going to continue here in lebanon inside the country, beyond this deadline, is seen as unacceptable and a reason for concern.— reason for concern. bring us up-to-date _ reason for concern. bring us up-to-date on _ reason for concern. bring us up-to-date on the - reason for concern. bring us - up-to-date on the humanitarian up—to—date on the humanitarian situation there as well. 50. situation there as well. so, 1.2 million _ situation there as well. so, 1.2 million residents- situation there as well. srr, 1.2 million residents were displaced because the conflict, the conflict between israel and that intensified in september with a huge air campaign

targeting hezbollah positions across the country. many residents returned to their homes at the beginning of the ceasefire, so today the end of this 60 day timeline that would see the withdrawal of israeli troops from the south of the country and also the removal of hezbollah fighters and weapons from the south was seen as an opportunity for many of those residents in towns and villages near the border, which is an area that has been completely, heavily destroyed, heavily damaged because of the conflict. so many saw this day as an opportunity to return to their homes. but we are talking about billions of dollars in economic damage, destruction, especially in south, but also in another part of the country that has very strong hezbollah presence, and here in the city's southern suburbs. i don't think this will be the resumption of the conflict

between israel and hezbollah, because this is a country that has been under a lot of pressure, has been exhausted really after years of economic crisis, also the suffering and destruction caused by the war here. to any kind of violent response from hezbollah would face opposition not only from critics of hezbollah but some of its own supporters, given the very bad situation in many parts of this country.- parts of this country. hugo, thank you — parts of this country. hugo, thank you very _ parts of this country. hugo, thank you very much. - here in the uk — a third runway at london's heathrow could be given government support this week after the chancellor hinted that she would approve expansion as part of plans to grow the economy. addressing concerns about increased pollution, rachel reeves said a third runway at heathrow — which is already the world's busiest two—runway airport — would mean that instead of circling london, flights could land more quickly, as simon browning reports. after a week of speculation, the chancellor inched closer

this morning to backing a third runway at heathrow. rachel reeves told the bbc that sustainable aviation and growth can go together, and that she will reveal more in her speech on wednesday. a third runway will mean that instead of circling london, flights can land at heathrow. a lot has changed in aviation and sustainable aviation and economic growth go hand in hand. we're an open trading economy, we need to bring investment in. demand to travel is growing and heathrow is almost at capacity. but opposition to heathrow�*s expansion is well established, with recent objections reaching the courts. it's a long time since we last had a proper economic analysis of what heathrow expansion would deliver, and even when that was last done, it was marginal at best. and i don't think that picture is going to have improved. so there is no economic case for expanding heathrow, and we know how damaging it will be to the environment and to the noise impact on people living all across west and south west london.

in the last fortnight, rachel reeves has promoted the uk's aims for growth in china and davos to politicians and business leaders. on wednesday, we'll hear more about those plans, including reforms to the planning and infrastructure bill to axe red tape that slows down approvals for major building projects. building homes near transport hubs to enable better connections for workers to towns and cities. and a regeneration project in old trafford, greater manchester, to develop housing, commercial and public spaces. but a decision on heathrow is expected on wednesday. there are no live and current planning processes for it, unlike other airport expansion schemes, and they will take a long time to achieve — that alongside conflicts with environmental and climate targets. simon browning, bbc news. rachel reeves has also been speaking about the role of social media companies in the wake of the conviction of the southport murderer axel rudakubana. the chancellor said social media sites have a moral duty to take down harmful

and illegal violent content. she was commenting on a letter the home secretary, yvette cooper, has written to x, meta — which owns facebook — tiktok, google and youtube, calling on them to act. here's our political correspondent damian grammaticas. the shocking deaths of bebe king, elsie dot stancombe and alice da silva aguiar — violent and extreme material had been accessed online by axel rudakubana before he committed his crimes. videos, terror training manuals. the biggest tech companies have been asked to take the material down, but it's still available, so the government has written to them saying... it's totally unacceptable the fact that the killer, before he went on to commit those

horrific crimes, was able to access — really easily, on some of the online platforms — such hateful material. and those companies have got a moral responsibility to take that content down and make it harder for people to access it. the mistakes that meant police and others didn't stop rudakubana in time will be the subject of a public inquiry. he was born and raised in the uk. today, the conservative leader, kemi badenoch, repeated her view his crimes represent a failure of integration. he had materials about, you know, white genocide and so on. if you are being inculcated in hate, you are not integrating well. what's your evidence that a lack of integration was part of the reason that he went on to commit these absolutely heinous crimes? i have seen what has come out of the court case. i have made an observation. i think that these are things that need to be looked at.

but every single time a politician wants to talk about these issues, there's often a pushback, "well, what's the evidence?" "well, we're not really sure." "should we use this sort of language?" and the minute we start going down that track, i think we start to lose our way. police found rudakubana, aged 17, had bought knives online. today, the government said online retailers will have to see photo id, with proof of age, before selling. delivery companies will have to hand packages over in person and demand proof of age as well. damian grammaticas, bbc news. to belarus now, where voting is taking place in a presidential election that's all but certain to hand alexandar lukashenko a seventh term in power. lukashenko is a close ally of russia's president putin, and a supporter of his war on ukraine. most of his fiercest critics — and serious rivals —

are either in prison or in exile. the election has been described by eu officials as "a farce". now it's time for a look at today's sport. we start with football and the premier league. four fixtures on sunday, two of which are under way. tottenham are hosting leicester, with both teams in desperate need for three points. spurs are without a league win in six, leicester have lost their seven. there is currently goalless. crystal palace are also taking on brentford right now. that is also goalless. in a couple of hours' time, aston villa host west ham in a repeat of graham potter's first game in charge, while in the later kick off, ruben amorim takes his manchester united side to face fulham. plenty of interesting games happening across europe on sunday too. earlier in scotland, rangers beat dundee united. they trail celtic by 10 points. in serie a, ac milan's hopes of a top fur finish were boosted thanks to a dramatic home win against parma, while city rivals inter can close the gap on napoli to three points with a win at lecce. in spain's la liga, barcelona are looking for a first league win in five matches when they host relegation threatened valencia, while marseille will hope to cut psg's lead to seven points when they face nice.

top seed jannik sinner has retained his australian open title beating alexander zverev in straight sets. the italian top seed delivered in the decisive moments to win 6—3, 7—6, 6—3 against the second seed, asjoe lynskey reports. for this sport and for his nation, jannik sinner is the new force. at this australian opener mackie has defended his title and for the last 12 months he has blocked out the noise. —— this australian open. last march he tested positive for low levels of a banned substance and was cleared of any blame but the case has been appealed. on the court, jannik sinnerfinds ways to appealed. on the court, jannik sinner finds ways to get on top. zverev here in his third grand slam final saw crucial points for out of reach. the world number two faced the yellow brick wall. sinner�*s mindset was forged to the mountains of northern italy. at

23, he has reached another summit. the first man from his country to win three grand slam titles and all parts of history remain controversial, on the court, jannik sinner could spend a long time at the top. madison keys has been outand about in melbourne with her new australian open trophy as the women's champion. the american said she hadn't had much sleep since defeating two—time defending champion aryna sabalenka in a three—set thriller. her first grand slam title in her second final — that came more than seven years after her first. and after the snowboarding, we've also had a first in ski—ing. at least in competition. italy's miro tabanelli pulled off a 2340 in aspen on saturday night. that's six and a half 360 degree rotations. enough for a score of 98.00 to win the big air event on the third and final day of the x games at aspen's buttermilk mountain. and that's all

the sport for now. more later as we update you throughout the day. let 5 get some of the day's other news now. prosecutors in south korea have formally charged the suspended president — yoon suk yeol — with insurrection, over his brief implementation of martial law in december last year. on saturday — a court in seoul rejected a request to extend mr yoon's detention — forcing prosecutors to indict him or set him free, ahead of the end of his custody period on monday. at least 18 people have been killed in a fuel tanker explosion in nigeria's southeastern enugu state. the authorities say ten others have sustained burn injuries. the national road safety agency said the truck suffered a brake failure, which caused the driver to lose control and crash into vehicles on an expressway. the us intelligence agency, the cia, says it now believes it's more likely covid—i9 appeared by leaking from a chinese lab, and not from animals. the cia previously said there wasn't enough evidence to say how the disease started, but officials say they have reassessed existing intelligence.

us president donald trump has told a rally of his supporters in las vegas that he might re—join the world health organization — just days after he signed an executive order to pull the us out of the un global health agency. mr trump has criticised the who for its handling of the covid pandemic and complained that washington pays too much into its budget. he said it would have to be — as he put it — cleaned up. the us is scheduled to leave the who in january next year. let's speak to hans kluge in copenhagen. he is the europe regional director at the world health organization. welcome to the programme. a possible change of heart from the president, but at the moment, i have it in my hand here, there are still an executive order for monday which plans to withdraw your organisation from, oramerica organisation from, or america from organisation from, oramerica from your organisation. how dire would that be if it does indeed go ahead? the united

states is a — indeed go ahead? the united states is a founding - indeed go ahead? the united states is a founding member| indeed go ahead? the united l states is a founding member of the who since i9lt8. it contributes about 20% of the global budget, so of course it is a very, very serious situation, because the united states would no longer be around the table for example for an exchange of biological samples to make them important vaccines, also american institutions have benefited, so it would make the world but as america much more unsafe and insecure. in america much more unsafe and insecure. . insecure. in the executive order, insecure. in the executive order. the _ insecure. in the executive order, the president - insecure. in the executive order, the president wasl insecure. in the executive - order, the president was very clear that he feels that, quote, the who continues to demand unfairly onerous payments from the united states, far out of proportion with what other countries pay. in particular he mentioned china. does he not have a point that the us does now pay a lot

more than other countries that use it, for example china? it is important to realise, there are two important sources of income for the who. through the so—called core contributions, and frankly speaking, the us gives 260 million, china almost 200, so not a big difference, but the big difference is in what we call voluntary contributions, and there, the us traditionally goes through the who while china for global health goes bilateral. we have a 96 member states and the us pays 20%, it is true that before they are number one but again they are a founding member, very important both for america, and the rest of the world. one of the doctors have just come back from tanzania where they are fighting an outbreak of a virus subsidy

exchange of information for pandemics is very for anyone. do you think there's a palatine the president is having a change of heart? do you think it is time to relook at each country gives? and i havejust asked but does he not have a point given we have just said that maybe america could reduce its contributions and other countries like china could be implored to give more? it is definitely — implored to give more? it is definitely a _ implored to give more? it is definitely a catharsis - implored to give more? it 3 definitely a catharsis but i think each crisis, you speak of china, the crisis in chinese use also come so opportunity, so what we have to do? stop the bleeding now, because containment measures and particularly avoid a domino effect because that would be a catastrophe, we count on the uk and the eu to help us. number two, who has to reinvent itself. it is a good moment to be more going back to basics.

the number three, to negotiate and see what are the concerns and see what are the concerns and how can we jointly address those, especially for the most vulnerable people, like the people in ukraine...- vulnerable people, like the people in ukraine... sorry, i will have _ people in ukraine... sorry, i will have to _ people in ukraine... sorry, i will have to stop _ people in ukraine... sorry, i will have to stop you - people in ukraine... sorry, i will have to stop you there, | people in ukraine... sorry, i. will have to stop you there, we have run out of time but we really appreciate you coming on the programme. hans kluge from the programme. hans kluge from the world health organization. stay with us. hello. this turbulent spell of weather continues. we have another deep area of low pressure in charge of the scene today. this is another named storm, but this one named by the spanish weather service, for impact it is going to have in spain, storm herminia. but here in the uk, the met office has issued a range of yellow warnings for wind and rain. the satellite picture very clearly shows the centre of our storm,

the centre of our area of low pressure. but i also want to draw your attention to what is happening down here along the line of this weather front. we can see this hook of cloud developing, and it may be that we see another very small scale area of low pressure forming, and that could bring a swathe of very strong winds for some of us overnight tonight. but it is windy out there through the afternoon, a band of rain pushing its way northwards, some very heavy thundery showers following on behind, this as we get into the evening, there is still, even at this short range, some uncertainty in our forecast. the centre of the area of low pressure will be out to the west of us, but some computer weather models allow this separate very small scale area of low pressure to develop, bringing a big lump of heavy rain and maybe some flooding. butjust on the southern flank of that, there is the chance that we could see a swathe of very, very strong winds. short lived gusts of 60, 70, 80mph. but there's uncertainty about exactly where that feature may track its way northwards across england and wales. in fact, it may even be that we see some wet

and blustery weather into eastern scotland tomorrow morning. and if that feature comes a little bit further west, that could give some significant snow over high ground. tomorrow, we will see this band of heavy rain driving northwards that could have some snow mixed in over higher ground. turning a little bit calmer for the end the week. lots of showers further south and another very windy day. those strong winds continue. gusts of 50, 60, 70mph for exposed coasts in the south and the west of the uk. temperatures probably the least of our worries at 6 to 9 degrees. now that area of low pressure will track its way eastwards as we move on into tuesday. that low weakening and filling somewhat, so tuesday won't be as windy, but there will still be some showers or some longer spells of rain. could see some very wet weather for a time in the south on wednesday. it does turn a little bit calmer for the end of the week.

this is bbc news, the headlines: president trump says he'd like arab nations to take in 1.5 million gazans — calling for a "clean out" of the strip which he described as "a demolition site". lebanon accuses the israeli army of firing at residents trying to return to their homes in the country's south, killing at least 15 people and injuring several others. belarus is voting in a presidential election — with alexander lukashenko all but certain to secure a seventh term. lukashenko has dismissed speculation that he might hand over to one of his three sons. he said a new generation should emerge to lead belarus by 2030. a third runway at london's heathrow could be given government support after the chancellor hinted that she would approve expansion as part of plans to grow the economy.

now on bbc news, panorama: should we still be working from home? the way we work has changed for ever. the impact of work from home post—pandemic is probably the biggest change to hit society since maybe world war ii. it's just impacted everything. now, many businesses across the uk want their workers to come into the office more. if in six months time, we were looking for a member of staff and someone was to say, "three days a week in the office "doesn't suit me," well, then we'd have to probably say, "maybe this isn't the right role for you." are you angry?! crowd roars but some staff are fighting back. we will never see this opportunity again. we have to fight for workers' rights, and i'm proud to do that. people who drive trains have to go to work. people who work in operating theatres have to go to work. they have children.

they have problems. they have issues. you deal with it.
