going to see a pick—up. the pace of climate change. and in movies we have from the and bafta from the oscar and bafta director of the nominated director of the substance. nominate welcome of the nominate welcome to the nominate welcome to bbc news. president trump has doubled down — on his plan for the us to take control of gaza — remarks that hamas have said
4:01 pm
on social media, saying the fighting there had ended. he also said, the us would work with teams from around the world to rebuild gaza, in what of the greatest and most spectacular developments of its kind'. our north america correspondent — nomia iqbal — gave me the latest on what the president has been saying — and the reaction coming in. by israel at the end of the war, he said that israel palestinians would be resettled
4:02 pm
elsewhere. is what they love about him, someone who doesn't believe difficult for americans to solve for decades. coming up with lots of different ways of saying this the other question is, what are you going to do about hamas? how will you dislodge hamas from gaza? an answer to that question. we know the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has said that he wants the war to end only when hamas but defence experts say that
4:03 pm
4:04 pm
the damage has already been done in some ways what mr trump's proposal is. about what happens to gaza post—war has not really been but it is of course a hugely controversial one and one that is probably not going to get any backing from members of his own party. let's bring in rushdi abualouf. tell me more about what people in gaza have been saying and reacting from what donald trump has said. and that call for an urgent
4:05 pm
arab summit, tell me more the official palestinian authority issued a statement and hamas issued a statement saying we rejected that and call on the arabs to hold an urgent summit. but on the ground, in practice, people are continuing they are in practice refusing the idea by returning back to gaza city, even though they all know gaza is almost destroyed, especially the northern part operation, to force people out. many people, yes, they left, but those who remain, palestinians call them heroes,
4:06 pm
because they fought many of them said, yes, we are happy to leave gaza happened back in 1948 when grandfathers and their family to have the right to return. that was the latest from our and gamal that was the latest from our is and gamal that was the latest from our is former|d gamal that was the latest from our is former egyptian “$5?

because we all hope think that what they need to do now is just to refuse, against all those proposals. on that point, the last few minutes the afp news agency is reporting that egypt has that israeli backing month was the hottest has said that israeli backing of that trump plan threatens january that cord. month was the hottest january that israeli backing has said that israeli backing of that trump plan threatens the gaza negotiations. of the gaza negotiations. of course egypt and qatar are key course egypt and qatar are key in ithhose j players in those negotiations players in those negotiations that are supposed to be that are supposed to be pgggressing ceasefire and progressing the ceasefire and deal january on record. hostage deal to the second 6 deal to the second so 77 so that is a warning phase, so that is a warning phase, so that is a warning from egypt saying israeli egypt saying israeli from egypt saying israeli backing of the trump plan. , , backing of the trump plan those gaza threatens those gaza negotiations. if there is more, threatens those gaza negotiations. if there is more, {will 7 vigwillobviouslyri ’ 7 fwill obviously bring 7 we will obviously bring that to fwill obviously bring that 7 fwill obviously bring that to we will obviously bring that to you. you. scientists from the scientists from the european union say last european union say last

the underlying case, the underlying pattern iam. and these are sort of one off factors? wejudge it and read it. you know, it's up to people like yourself some confidence back. a pick—up in growth. so we're going through this period of, say, quite flat but i do think we're going to see a pick—up. there's more uncertainty in the world as well as domestically, by the way, all of which gets factored in. but we are still seeing positive growth in and that's obviously good. our agents around the country say it's, for instance, but obviously we have to follow that very closely. the governor of the bank of england. emily fry is a senior economist
4:19 pm
4:20 pm

4:22 pm
out, what are the implications as you say, the big, big question is how these tariffs move forward to what we saw in 2018—19. but as you say, if things escalate, if there continues if they actually get implemented, then the big question is whether countries respond and how much they respond. you areaole to consume things, a much wider variety of goods.
4:23 pm
mean that for countries that are particularly intertwined with the us might see that weighing on their growth. forward, to what extent those tariffs are implemented. that you get less trade and that's going to be a damage to growth. emily fry. the uk government desperately needing growth, of course. that's the big sir keir starmer says the government is changing planning rules to make it easier to build nuclear reactors in england and wales. the prime minister said he wants to end what he called in delayed and over—budget projects. up developments.

let's to police in sweden have described the scene of tuesday's mass 11 people died in the attack, including the gunman, who local media have named as rickard andersson. the authorities have confirmed there were "multiple the attack happened. in sweden's history. with smoke rising. this was confirmed to me by the lead investigator.
4:25 pm
yeah. and just in terms of the victims who he shot, do we have a range of their ages? can say about them? have their families been notified? we have a connection with all the families. yes, yes. how are they? and of course, it's, uh, it's very tough. police also confirming that the perpetrator had a licence but the national broadcaster, svt, have been quoting
4:26 pm
police sources, and they say that it is 35—year—old rickard andersson. we ourselves haven't been able to verify this. the perpetrator until at least a few days' time, given the intensity of the investigation. but what we do know is that if it is rickard andersson, he was a loner. that a number of syrians were killed in this mass shooting. but again, police officers not confirming madera. just a quick word the kash madera. just a quick wo
