i have you guys on the royal united services institute, and i want to thank you for your time. now the united nations h e says the past week has been a test for humanity and that humanity is failing. wanting griffith will be heading to the, the lease on tuesday to try to help negotiate access to the guys a strip. international red cross says the medical system is on its needs, at least 70 percent of palestinians in the north. don't have access to health care after the you any vacuum it. it is. clinics, hospitals across the gaza strip are receiving hundreds of severe injuries every day, but only have enough field to run their generators for another 2 days. they're not just running out of batch, but also water and basic medicine. displace palestinians are sheltering in some of the largest hospitals in the hope that they won't be bombed over was health care work as a in overwhelmed hospitals are choosing to stay behind rather than risk moving critically ill patients? let's speak to dr. nick may not about this. he's a consultant surgeon who regularly visits the gaza strip. and as i

oh, so we spoke to a major, i'll be case, i'm a director of the united service institution who told us that the global south is taking the lead in an ever changing well. and that, that 5 i office, a collaborative platform for discussions. it seems to be what it has restricted mitten inflection point. there is a degree of tiredness which has seeped into the minds of words, but this good bought going to come to station and then 0 sum game kind up an approach. so to day, particularly global soft reaches and majority is looking for new dawn and new opportunities. and i'm very happy that the teams which have been put together by the conference. they're not really device unique judge, the more good novelty to in nature and everybody will have a say in that to that extent, i think the difficulties from this conference will be far more important than any of the conferences because the video team and the video agenda is very, very constructive and it has a niche. the vast majority of the global pump, which is level phobia, is a global concern not limited only to the key. this was become a made

now , satellite images analyzed by the royal united services institute in london have shown that thesels have made at least five round trips since mid-august. washington said russia has transported about a thousand containers that could potentially contain hundreds of thousands of weapons that could be used in the war in ukraine. no, these containers contain rice, true, dmitry gobevich, i doubt that from the dprk, which now has some combination with agriculture, rice will be exported in containers in containers , rice will not be accepted in dry cargo ships at all, but the question is different, that of course, apparently we are talking as if, including about high-precision artillery, which no one had deployed at one time, so the question seems to be what production components will still be deployed here, a very important aspect of what is happening, as for what is, i remind you that the search-path initiative is one of the largest economic initiatives in general, it includes approximately 130 members, as such, they will be represented to one degree or another at this forum, just the

professor michael clarke is a former director—general of the royal united services institute.or of defence studies at king's college london. i asked for his broader assessment of israel's strategy and what he thought might happen next. the invasion was ready a week ago, pretty well. but they've been forestalled, first of all, by some bad weather, then by the round of diplomacy. so tony blinken was in israel, so you can't launch an invasion when the secretary of state is there. thenjoe biden was in israel at short notice. you certainly can't launch an invasion when the president is there. and then rishi sunak was there. that's not a good idea either. so the diplomatic round has finished. and now we've had the release of two hostages, which is hamas�*s attempt, i think, to drip—feed foreign hostages out of gaza, so as to put pressure on israel, get america to put pressure on israel, to hold off a bit longer in case we can get some more hostages out. but with 212 hostages and a good handful of apparently british, is it nine british individuals missing and american hostages, then

former director general at the royal united service institute. stay with us on bbc news. hello. make the point that the weather won't be bad all the time as this storm spreads from the south. we're also expecting the skies to clear in a few places. sunny spells and mild weather can be expected, too. but let's focus on the rain, the biggest problem from this storm. a rare red warning in force thursday into friday for specifically angus and southern parts of aberdeenshire and the met office warns of even danger to life. but let's look at the rainfall first across the whole of the uk. so, this is the rainfall accumulation as the days go by — widely 30—110 millimetres of rain, but you can see around eastern scotland and the northeast of england here potentially well in excess of 100 millimetres of rain. so, here's the forecast then through the night, the weather fronts, the rain front associated with storm babette makes its journey towards the north. after a soaking evening across southern parts of the uk, actually, the skies may clear for a time through the early hours before furth

live now to tobias bork, the middle east security senior research fellow at the royal united services institute with israel vowing to eradicate hamas, what is your assessment of when this ground offensive will take place and what form it could take place in? to offensive will take place and what form it could take place in?- form it could take place in? to be honest, i don't _ form it could take place in? to be honest, i don't know. _ form it could take place in? to be honest, i don't know. i'm - form it could take place in? to be honest, i don't know. i'm not i form it could take place in? to be| honest, i don't know. i'm not sure anyone else, either the israeli security establishment or those close to it, that is foreign leaders coming to visit. i don't think they actually have a proper insight on when this ground offensive will take place. i think there is still a strong expectation that it will indeed take place. but many had expected it to start a week ago. 0r certainly the last few days. so i think at this point we can do is continue to speculate.- think at this point we can do is continu

helia, senior associate fellow with the carnegie endowment for international peace and world united services institute>> good morning. >> so peace in the middle east seems more elusive than ever as israel seems poised to launch a land and sea incursion on gaza to take out hamas. what are your concerns as this war seems likely to escalate? >> so your last clip mentioned naftali bennett saying that it's not israel's problem, the civilians of gaza. actually, that's entirely the opposite of what is the case. israel is responsible for gaza as the occupying power since it took gaza in 1967. and continues a blockade for the past 15 years. it is responsible, actually. so as we see the impending ground, sea, and air invasion of gaza and we see calls for 1.1 million palestinians, most of whom have absolutely nothing to do with hamas, move from one part of this incredibly densely populated area, one of the most densely populated areas in the world down south, it's quite extraordinary. the u.n., the eu, international rights groups, israeli rights groups, have all expressed tremendous concern for the civilian casu

london is michael stevens, an associate fellow from middle eastern studies at the royal united services institute. it's good to have you with us. i know that you have been warning us as much as anybody else about the potential for serious unrest here over the past months, we've seen real sort of unrest in the west bank. perhaps nobody could have expect to have seen what happened in gaza. michael, this has made an already high stakes visit, this hospital blast. this has made an already high stakes visit even more important. what are -- what are president biden's objectives here, and how can we turn the temperature down at this point? >> well, i think some of those objectives probably changed while he was in the air, frankly, because the situation has dramatically deteriorated. since the eight hours in which he left the united states, and we've gone from a point in which president biden may well have had a good, solid set of meetings with arab leaders where there was the potential for de-escalation, where there was a pathway to perhaps see some light at the end of the tunnel to emergency firefighti

joining me now michael stevens, an associate fellow at royal united service institute. it is comments like those coming from the u.n. which are clearly going to underscore just how difficult now this trip for president biden will be. how do you see the framing for this trip and how do you think it may have changed in the hours since the hospital blast in gaza? >> clearly there is still looming over the back of all of this the potential for an i re israeli ground incursion in gaza to free the hostages or destroy hamas, whatever the mission statement is. i think president biden has to talk to the israelis how the window has gone from here to here. possibility of an escalation militarily is shrinking by the senc second. and it is not just because of what happened with the hospital strike. it is the fact that regional tectonic plates are shifting so fast right now that the narrative is swinging away from the israelis and they are losing a bit of control over their ability to manage this escalation. so president biden is going to need to speak to benjamin netanyahu and say l

sam cranny—evans is an associate fellow of the royal united services institute, the defence think—tankrfare. sam told us more about israel's capabilities ahead of the expected ground incursion. a really important part of the context is the hamas side of the equation and what level of resistance hamas decides to put up. we have seen an evolution to the past conflicts from 2008 through two now of hamas capabilities where they were fairly ineffective against the israeli forces initially and have become more resilient and determined as time has gone on. the israeli capabilities in that regard are sort of... conventional combined capabilities. they will use a lot of armoured vehicles, tanks, and infantry fighting vehicles, as well as fixed wing and rotary wing aircraft, so, helicopters and that kind of thing. in close coordination with each other in the cities, once they get in. the nature of the fighting, the length of the fighting, the length of the fighting, will really depend on that first element, the hamas resolve to fight and its determination to make a stand. urban warfare in partic

earlier, i wasjoined by professor michael clarke, a former director—general of the royal united services institute pretty well, but they have been the stalled festival by some bad weather, then by the round of diplomacy. tony blinken was in israel so you can't launch an invasion when the secretary of state is there, thenjoe biden was there at short notice. you certainly can't launch an invasion when the president is there. and then rishi sunak was there, that is not a good idea either. so the diplomatic round has finished and now we've had the release of two hostages, which is two's attempt i think to drip feed hot —— foreign hostages out of gaza so as to put pressure on israel, get america to put pressure on israel to hold off a bit longer in case we can get some more hostages out. but with 212 hostages and a good handful of apparently british, nine british individuals missing and american hostages, then they could go on drip feeding for two or three more weeks. the israelis won't play that game. they won't let hamas control the agenda. and so they are very clear that although the hostage crisis

. >> he is an associate fellow for the royal united services inst institute. he joins me now from brisbane, australia. good to have you with us. people are still very mystified by the unpreparedness of the intelligence and security services of israel. so what i wonder, is this a case of people overestimating security services or did israel underestimate hamas? >> i think the letter, israel holds hamas in fairly poor regard. this is a tactical surprise. not a strategic surprise. bear in mind, israel has a strategy called mowing the launch means regular wars, or small wars against hamas. there has been seven since 2008. it was just a matter of time before there was another one. it's a tactical surprise as far as the scale of the attack and the timing of it. that has clearly shocked the israelis. >> how long can hamas keep this up now? the israeli prime minister has basically declared war, not basically. he has declared war on hamas. and the potential of the israeli ground offensive. are they prepared to confront that? >> so i think that hamas has been chasing a

, armored or armored fist, instead, for example, from a military expert from the royal institute of united services, here in london, in his latest report, it is said that during the winter, it is probably important for ukraine to focus on preventing the russians from settling down again for the winter and expanding their defensive fortifications even more, so the most important thing, according to jack watling, the author of this study , is to extract, to extract the occupiers from their fortifications, and not to give them the opportunity to strengthen further in the captured territories. during the winter of 2022-23 , fierce clashes took place on a large area of ​​the front, but ukrainian attempts to change the lane controls were limited. the absence of the threat of an offensive by the armed forces allowed russia to build three wide defensive strips with mines, trenches and obstacles, which this summer complicated the offensive operations of ukraine. if ukraine does not continue to put pressure on russian positions this winter, there is a risk that those defensive lines will be expanded, so kyiv
