against hamas position. a relentless barrage from the air and according to hamas it was fighting israeli troops on the ground as well. israel says these are targeted attacks against specific hamas positions and its network of tunnels below gaza city. bombing that is undoubtedly causing widespread damage on the ground. but which israel says is a necessary part of its ultimate goal to eradicate hamas as a fighting force. translation: ., , ., , translation: over the last hours we have intensified _ translation: over the last hours we have intensified our _ translation: over the last hours we have intensified our bombing - translation: over the last hours we have intensified our bombing over - have intensified our bombing over gaza. the ground forces are also extending their operations this evening. extending their operations this evenina. ., ., ., ., evening. from gaza to hamas continues — evening. from gaza to hamas continues to _ evening. from gaza to hamas continues to fire _ evening. from gaza to hamas continues to fire rockets - evening. from gaza to hamas i continues to fire rockets towards israeli cities including tel aviv and ashkelon. mr intercepted by the iron dome missile defence system, but some still get through. the intensifying israeli offensive is making a dire humanitarian situation on the ground in gaza even worse.

south, towards where israel had encouraged more than1 million palestinians to flee. as i said in my report, the united nations and other agencies say that nowhere in gaza savoured the minute but israel says it will continue its campaign to bring an end to hamas. yes. israel is saying _ to bring an end to hamas. yes. israel is saying what _ to bring an end to hamas. yes. israel is saying what this - to bring an end to hamas. yes. israel is saying what this is - to bring an end to hamas. yes. israel is saying what this is is i to bring an end to hamas. yes. israel is saying what this is is an extension of those ground operations and one of the problems obviously with the reporting of this and knowing the impact within gaza itself is, as you say, power issues and now no communications. indeed. the situation — and now no communications. indeed. the situation is _ and now no communications. indeed. the situation is absolutely _ and now no communications. indeed. the situation is absolutely dire - and now no communications. indeed. the situation is absolutely dire and i the situation is absolutely dire and there is increasing international pressure on israel to do something about it, to allow more aid in and perhaps have a pause or a lull in the fighting to open a humanitarian corridorfull the fighting to open a humanitarian corridor full of the fighting to open a humanitarian corridorfull of the the fighting to open a humanitarian corridor full of the problem for israel is that it wants to remind the world why it's doing this. as three weeks since those dreadful scenes of 7 october when 11100 people, israelis and internationals, were killed in the south, were murdered in cold blood when hamas

gunmen stormed across the border. israel wants the world to know this is why what is happening now is happening and it has to bring an end to hamas's military operation in order that this can't happen again and israel has failed to teach hamas and israel has failed to teach hamas a bloody lesson in gaza. for and israel has failed to teach hamas a bloody lesson in gaza.— a bloody lesson in gaza. for the moment. _ a bloody lesson in gaza. for the moment, thank _ a bloody lesson in gaza. for the moment, thank you. _ the un general assembly has voted overwhelmingly to adopt a resolution put forward by arab countries calling for a humanitarian truce in gaza. it calling for a humanitarian truce in gaza. . calling for a humanitarian truce in gaza. , ., , , calling for a humanitarian truce in gaza. , , , ,, gaza. it is not binding, but steps ofthe gaza. it is not binding, but steps of the pressure _ gaza. it is not binding, but steps of the pressure for _ gaza. it is not binding, but steps of the pressure for a _ gaza. it is not binding, but steps of the pressure for a solution - gaza. it is not binding, but steps of the pressure for a solution to | gaza. it is not binding, but steps l of the pressure for a solution to be bound to the conflict. though been angrily criticised by israel's ambassador to the un. nada tawfik has this report. 120 nations from every corner of the globe adding their way to the increasingly desperate pleas of the un and palestinians after the un security council failed to act. and only 1a countries voting against it. while the resolution is not binding, the palestinian ambassador

killed as obrigado. the idf says this is the man who commanded the fighters who infiltrated on paragliders in 7 october and was also responsible for drone attacks on israeli military post. we have seen huge explosions in the territory, israeli warplanes carrying out heavy strikes. fist territory, israeli warplanes carrying out heavy strikes. at this state, in carrying out heavy strikes. at this stage. in terms — carrying out heavy strikes. at this stage, in terms of— carrying out heavy strikes. at this stage, in terms of the _ carrying out heavy strikes. at this stage, in terms of the images i carrying out heavy strikes. at this i stage, in terms of the images coming out from the area, this ground forces, extending the operations, as he no images showing the forces on the ground, the aerial images as they mentioned overnight show a number of major explosions as the aerial bombardment continues, but we will keep an eye on events this morning and speak to our correspondence throughout the morning. it correspondence throughout the mornini. . correspondence throughout the mornini. , , correspondence throughout the mornin:. , , morning. it is ten minutes past six. louise will — morning. it is ten minutes past six. louise will keep _ morning. it is ten minutes past six. louise will keep us _ morning. it is ten minutes past six. louise will keep us up-to-date i morning. it is ten minutes past six. j louise will keep us up-to-date with louise will keep us up—to—date with the weather throughout the morning. good morning to you. a mixed picture. quite a bit of rain around.

yes, i know, it is very dull, very boring, this weather story, persistent rain once again. many of us seeing record—breaking rainfalls over this month and ourfinal weekend, well, we're still stuck in repeat, i'm afraid. once again it will a case of sunshine and showers and the wind is quite a feature particular cross—channel close as we go through the latter stages of the day today. just take a look at what a mess the next few days is going to be come with low pressure sitting out to the west and spiralling around the globe, we have heard the story before as these weather fronts set up some fairly persistent rain once again across northern ireland and eastern scotland. if we take a look at rainfall accumulation over the next few days, the brad green suggest we could see another 50— 100 millimetres, mostly to higher ground, but falling on saturated areas and those flood areas as well. we are concerned about that as we see the easterly winds drying in a feeder persistent showery ran into scotland. some sharp showers, fairly persistent through the night in

northern ireland. elsewhere, sunny spells and scattered showers until the end of the day. some heavy persistent rain but damaging, squally winds as well along channel coasts developing. top temperatures generally between and 16 degrees. that heavy rain will drift steadily north overnight, it will weaken a little as it does so. a feed of showers across and west facing coasts. frontal rain will be sitting northern england towards the english border, a feed of showery ran into eastern scotland. it is a messy story with the cloud and rain around those temperatures once again holding up at around 8— 10 degrees. we will get an extra hour in bed, so the clocks go back as we move into the clocks go back as we move into the early hours of sunday. sunday will continue to stay pretty wet across southern and eastern scotland. some showers through northern ireland and north—west england, slightly drier, brighter weather conditions perhaps through central and eastern england, but a rash of showers will continue to

plague those southwest facing coasts of england as well. highs, similar story to the last few days, 10— 15 degrees. as we move out of sunday into monday we will start to see the weather story whitening down just a touch. don't get too excited, as we move into the beginning of november more wet and windy weather is on its way. monday will be a case of sunny spells and scattered showers, deeply out to the coast, top temperatures again around 11— 15 degrees. but showers along dispose of rain continue as we out the month of october and into the early half of november. october and into the early half of november-— october and into the early half of november. ., ., ,, november. back to you too. thank ou. see november. back to you too. thank you- see you _ november. back to you too. thank you. see you later. _ november. back to you too. thank you. see you later. it _ november. back to you too. thank you. see you later. it is _ november. back to you too. thank you. see you later. it is 6:13. i november. back to you too. thank you. see you later. it is 6:13. herej you. see you later. it is 6:13. here suspected — you. see you later. it is 6:13. here suspected of— you. see you later. it is 6:13. here suspected of killing _ you. see you later. it is 6:13. here suspected of killing 18 _ you. see you later. it is 6:13. here suspected of killing 18 people i you. see you later. it is 6:13. here suspected of killing 18 people in i you. see you later. it is 6:13. here suspected of killing 18 people in a| suspected of killing 18 people in a shooting in the us state of maine has been found that after a three—day manhunt. has been found that after a three-day manhunt.- has been found that after a three-day manhunt. has been found that after a three-da manhunt. ., . three-day manhunt. police say robert cloud, who three-day manhunt. police say robert cloud. who was _ three-day manhunt. police say robert cloud, who was 40, _ three-day manhunt. police say robert cloud, who was 40, was _ three-day manhunt. police say robert cloud, who was 40, was found - three-day manhunt. police say robert cloud, who was 40, was found damp l cloud, who was 40, was found damp from an apparently self inflicted gunshot wound. nominee dale reports from maine. four days, the killer of 18 people

life here, and there is a high gun ownership, but also there had been low crime, so i think people now are rethinking what that means going forward, president biden issued a statement, he had also been briefed before that announcement was made and he renewed the call for tighter gun—control, but he has a tough fight ahead and he has often called for a federal ban on assault type rifles, rifles like the one used in this case, but there has been a lot of resistance for the republicans in congress, saying it is not guns that kill but people who kill, and so as this community now looks to moving forward, there are a lot of questions about just what gun—control measures should be enacted in this state. gun-control measures should be enacted in this state.— enacted in this state. thank you very much _ enacted in this state. thank you very much for— enacted in this state. thank you very much for the _

quite the prize they came for at this world cup but for england it was a bronze medal and it was richly deserved. remember, they beat argentina in the group stage and lead them at the break, courtesy of ben earle's barnstorming tribe but after read, argentina head back and how. the brilliance of santiago cabrera briefly putting them ahead, but then theo charged down a cake and restored england cosmetically before a dramatic finish, a penalty from owen farrell made him the tournament's top point scorer but with minutes left a chance for argentina to draw level, nicholas sanchez missed and england clung on for a 26—23 victory and third place, some reward for a gutsy campaign. today though the focus turns to the final with defending champion south africa ready to take on new zealand, the two most successful sides this tournament has ever seen. this

628 is the time, let's bring you right up to date with our story this morning in the middle east, a number of developments overnight, is well saying it is expanding its ground operations against hamas as it intensifies our strikes. some of the images overnight... we some of the images overnight... , understand huge explosions have been seen over the territory, which has been the target of weeks of bombing. in the last hour, the israeli government has confirmed it has killed a hamas military leader who was instrumental in leading the attacks on israel three weeks ago. however, the israeli government has so far refused to say whether the increase infighting marks the start of a full—scale ground offensive. i'm not going to speculate on operational matters, but israel is going _ operational matters, but israel is going to — operational matters, but israel is going to continue with its defensive efforts _ going to continue with its defensive efforts to _ going to continue with its defensive efforts to destroy hamas in response to the _ efforts to destroy hamas in response to the 7 _ efforts to destroy hamas in response to the 7 october massacre and the

something would happen but it wouldn't be what we were expecting, but it would be pretty significant and pretty heavy and that stephanie wood has been reported on the ground. we lost communication with gaza, there has been must blackouts of mobile phones and internet coverage, so we don't know exactly was going on in the ground. from the outside we can see very, very heavy bombardment, the sky was [it up all night with aerial rays and what we understand happening on the ground is that there is tank movement and forces inside gaza at the moment was not hamas has been saying on the telegram channels is taking place in the northeast of gaza and in the centre, nearthe the northeast of gaza and in the centre, near the gaza border. so we'll have to see exactly this plays out, but it is certainly a massive escalation of what we have seen the last few weeks. in escalation of what we have seen the last few weeks-— escalation of what we have seen the last few weeks. in your mind, as you said, last few weeks. in your mind, as you said. contact — last few weeks. in your mind, as you said, contact with _ last few weeks. in your mind, as you said, contact with gaza _ last few weeks. in your mind, as you said, contact with gaza lost, - last few weeks. in your mind, as you said, contact with gaza lost, what. said, contact with gaza lost, what do you think, now, will happen in terms of regarding this matter regaining that contact and the next steps is in the intention of these expanded operations?—

steps is in the intention of these expanded operations? welcome i think this as a million-dollar— expanded operations? welcome i think this as a million-dollar question - this as a million—dollar question and the israelis have been asked so many times was going to happen the day after and they have repeatedly said that will be up to the international community and the kept it quite a closely guarded secret. certainly from the ground i'm deeply concerned about the humanitarian crisis in gaza. i was x respeaking to british citizen is in gaza just before we lost contact, before this was lost, they were telling me they were displaced. one man from manchester told me he was displaced four times, manchester told me he was displaced fourtimes, had manchester told me he was displaced four times, had lost 37 members of his extended family, and they were running out of drinkable water. this has been echoed by un officials who say the enclave was running out of fuel to power hospitals, there was already a massive lack of supplies, medical supplies, that hospitals were overwhelmed, they couldn't evacuate the wounded, there were tens of thousands of displaced people hiding in hospitals. so if there is an incredibly heavy bombardment we think is happening now and some form of round—trip movement within gaza, my concern is that humanitarian crisis is going to

reach catastrophic levels today. hence as we saw the un general assembly calling for that immediate humanitarian truce yesterday. thank you so much. well true, the international editor of the independent.— international editor of the independent. international editor of the inde endent. ., , ., international editor of the indeendent. ., , ., ., independent. now it is time for an sun independent. now it is time for an spun world — independent. now it is time for an spun world with _ independent. now it is time for an spun world with john _ independent. now it is time for an spun world with john simpson - independent. now it is time for an j spun world with john simpson who independent. now it is time for an - spun world with john simpson who was spun world withjohn simpson who was looking at the operations israel is taking place in gaza. hello and thanks forjoining me for unspun world, the expected invasion of gaza has been held up by the hope that more israeli hostages will be released. living conditions inside gaza itself are unthinkable the dreadful. and hezbollah on israel's

officers who took part in operations in densely packed towns and cities in densely packed towns and cities in iraqi 2003 are often highly dubious that civilian casualties can be avoided, although israel insists it can and will avoid them. others have questioned whether netanyahu will be able to get rid of hamas in gaza, root and branch, as he promises to do. the danger for israel, they say, is that hamas, which has planned all this out with a great deal of care, will simply find ways of going deep underground and emerge again if international pressure obliges the israeli forces to pull out, however long that takes. we have seen this pattern time and again over the past 56 years, eversince time and again over the past 56 years, ever since the west bank and gaza were captured by israel in the 1967 six day war. tom bateman is the

bbc correspondent injerusalem. there are 360,000 reservists who have been called up, a huge number, because you have a conscript and professional army of around 150,000— 160,000. professional army of around 150,000— i60,000. there are half a million 160,000. there are half a million troops now and, remember, the border between lebanon and israel is extremely important as well, so there is a very big military deployment that. as for what's happening around gaza, we see this huge movement of troops, hardware, tanks, artillery, and a large number of troops now must around the gaza perimeter. there is a sense in the country of potential hesitancy, how you might read it. ithink country of potential hesitancy, how you might read it. i think the israeli government will put it very differently, that they are ready to 90, differently, that they are ready to go, they are getting their plan is finalised and prepared and they are going to go in. but i think the big issue here is around the hostages. there are more than 220 being held by hamas. i think that is the

biggest political and military part of the calculation at the moment. you've had president biden saying theissue you've had president biden saying the issue of releasing hostages, and there are american citizens involved as well, he said there is no bigger priority for him. i think once we began to see captives being released with the mediation of qatar, which has ties to hamas, is clear there is a line of communication and hamas has deliberately calculated this with themselves and a strong position, they are trying to ward off an israeli ground invasion. there is no reason why the idea shouldn't be held up permanently from going in, is there? this is going to be an extremely challenging military operation for the israelis. benjamin netanyahu historically is not a big risk taker. sol benjamin netanyahu historically is not a big risk taker. so i think things may become a loss more complicated. today was in the room when resident biden came and said "don't be consumed by race, don't make the same mistakes we made after

9/11." look at what the west did in iraq matt, look at how the iraqi state was dismantled. there is a sensible warning here about has this been thought through, what is going to involve, what are the military objectives and that is something the americans really want to know, it is probably another reason for the delay. probably another reason for the dela . �* ., , ., delay. and it does look to me, readina delay. and it does look to me, reading some _ delay. and it does look to me, reading some of _ delay. and it does look to me, reading some of the _ delay. and it does look to me, reading some of the israeli - delay. and it does look to me, i reading some of the israeli press, as though netanyahu's in a bit of a problem, isn't he? imilli as though netanyahu's in a bit of a problem, isn't he?— problem, isn't he? will be a huge enaui problem, isn't he? will be a huge enquiry into _ problem, isn't he? will be a huge enquiry into everything _ problem, isn't he? will be a huge enquiry into everything went i problem, isn't he? will be a huge i enquiry into everything went wrong, why were 3000 hamas gunmen able to get across that fence, overwhelmed the israeli military at the gaza perimeter there and cause the mayhem and destruction and the things they did. that is already starting to emerge. remember, israel is in an unprecedented military crisis on the eve of all of this happening ——

unprecedented crisis. maybe one reason hamas chose the grace of they did. angela netanyahu has been in real trouble. this country was more divided than it has been in the generation, perhaps since the foundation of the state, very much focused around netanyahu's focused around neta nyahu's leadership focused around netanyahu's leadership and the hardline fire rate ultra—nationalist nature of the government that he had effectively relied on in order to get back into power. people were concerned that israel was basically shifting its identity from a jewish democratic state, in their view, to a potentially theocratic dictatorship. do you think benjamin netanyahu is finished? what mr netanyahu has tried to do is galvanise a government around him.

he's brought in an emergency war cabinet, includes benny gantz and others, of former leaders of the idf, chiefs of staff, opposition figures. so we have this emergency government. so at the moment, things are stuck together. he's trying to sideline the ultra—right—wingers that were so unpopular among many. but the question is, how long can that last? and i think, by the end of this, it is very, very hard to see a situation in which he emerges intact. the arab world erupted in support of hamas after its brutal incursions into southern israel, but these are very different times from the days when the countries bordering on israel posed a major threat to its very existence. what do the surrounding countries feel and plan to do now? egypt, for instance. why has it been so unwilling to open the crossing from gaza into its own territory? to get the wider view on all this, i turned to sebastian usher, bbc world service middle east editor. i think the egypt government's position is, obviously it's in a terrible bind.

its aim in that is to ensure that as much as possible humanitarian aid goes into gaza, but that it is enough to prevent people in gaza from coming out, but very, very strongly, and for a variety of reasons, making clear that they are not going to accept a large number of palestinians to come across. that's not because they don't want to protect them. it's because they don't want to facilitate to one extent what they see as a kind of return of what happened in 1948. as far as the palestinians are concerned, there's a mass exodus of people and they're never able to return. so they would be responsible, essentially, they would feel, for doing israel's work. they also, economically, are in a terrible state. so having a big influx of people to look after. a huge, huge issue. there's an election that's coming up. it's been moved forward to december. politically, egypt has been much more stable in one way under abdel fattah al—sisi.

i mean, rememberthe turmoil after 2011, the muslim brotherhood came to power and so on. but the price of that has been far more repression, essentially, of free speech of the people. and part of that was a sense that this issue of the palestinians has been at the forefront of how arab states and arab people defined themselves, had faded to an extent. let's turn to israel's northern border, to lebanon. what's your feeling about what hezbollah is going to do? are they — is there going to be a war there? i mean, my feeling is that hezbollah doesn't want it. obviously, israel doesn't want it, and i don't think iran quite wants it. but that's a feeling that circumstances might... ..override. the way that things have been playing out so far, over the past two weeks, is every day, we've seen a very slight intensification of these skirmishes between hezbollah and otherfactions, palestinian factions that are based in the south of lebanon, too, with israel. but they've stayed within what are called the rules of engagement, which means you fire, we fire back.

i think at the moment, hezbollah, iran are probably relatively satisfied with that, that they're making their point. essentially, the lebanese government, the lebanese state has no real say in this. they're spectators, just like we are, which is an extraordinary situation to be in. and we know that lebanon is in a very bad economic state, terrible economic collapse, for the past three or four years. and politically, too, there's no government there. there's a caretaker government. there's no president there. they haven't been able to elect one. and hezbollah tells them what to do. hezbollah, to a degree, tells them what to do. this is the other point of it. i mean, hezbollah is far more a weapon of iran than hamas is. so i think unless things spiral in an absolutely desperate way down in gaza, possibly in the occupied west bank as well, i think hezbollah and lebanon would be the next thing after that. i don't think they happen before that. what do you think about the almost, you might say, conspiracy theory that this is all because iran wanted

to stop saudi arabia getting too close to israel? i mean, the generalfeeling is that this was something that was in the planning for years, probably, at least months by hamas, predating the real momentum that was beginning to take place in the move towards normalisation between saudi arabia and israel. so it's definitely in iran's interests that this has happened, because i think there's no way that saudi arabia, in the short term, can now do any deal with israel, but it gives saudi arabia potentially, just as iran may be thinking it has this too, a chance to play a more active diplomatic role in what might come after, in terms of what the palestinians might get. this having been leftjust to rot, this situation, no momentum in the peace process for years. the two—state solution, under president trump, virtually disappeared in israel and in parts of the palestinian territories. it's no longer something people talk about. there's generations growing up

in both countries who've never really had that as a genuine option that it might happen. you know, it's almost like a myth that this could happen. so the optimistic side is that, having seen the abyss, having seen what doing nothing creates, that there'll be a move like we haven't seen for a very long time to try and get somewhere on that, and that saudi arabia will be able to play a very big role in that. is there going to be a much wider war, or is it going to be restricted to what happens between the border — southern border of israel and gaza? there isn't any appetite in the arab world amongst its governments to get actively involved in this, in any kind of military terms, obviously. but there is an appetite on the streets. we're not going to see a 1967. we're not going to see a yom kippur war, i don't think. you're not going to see arab countries sending their armies. that isn't going to happen.

president volodymyr zelensky of ukraine has always been worried that right—wing pressures in the united states would make it harder to get the american money and weapons, which alone can help him win his war against the russian invaders. now, though, an entirely new crisis in the middle east has put the ukrainian war out of the minds of every american politician for the foreseeable future. president biden, with a mixture of high statesmanship and political street fighter�*s cunning, has managed to bind up aid for ukraine and for israel into a single parcel, so that should sort the problem out for a bit. still, ukraine knows perfectly well that the only real solution is for it to start visibly winning the war. is that happening, though? it doesn't seem to be.

i've been speaking to vitaly shevchenko, of bbc monitoring. ukrainians know perfectly well, if western allies stop or tone down assistance to ukraine, that's probably the end of the road for ukraine. it will not be able to keep on fighting for much longer. the time pressure is on ukraine to deliver something, in terms of victories, advances, achievements by the time a presidential election happens in the united states next year. and that's why there's a lot of concern within ukraine about the counter—offensive, which has entered its fifth month. to keep on receiving that aid, ukraine needs to show something for it. but there have been small victories, small successes, haven't there? on the farther bank

of the river dnieper, at the moment, for instance. we've seen reports of the ukrainians crossing the river and establishing a presence on the russian—controlled bank of the dnieper. but we don't know how many ukrainians we're talking about. the other three hot spots are further north, in the zaporizhzhia region, because if they're successful there, it would mean that ukrainian forces would potentially be able to cut through russian defences all the way to the coast of the sea of azov, and therefore disrupting russian logistics and cutting the so—called land bridge, going through from occupied crimea, all the way to the russian city of rostov. so far, i don't think ukraine has achieved much, in terms of advances,

but the hope is there. further north, this is where the russians are trying, as far as we can tell, to mount a counter—offensive of their own. they've had a lot of losses, haven't they? i've been reading about this. i mean, lots of tanks destroyed and so on in the attack. that's right. and it probably tells us how little russian forces have learned from their experiences. but the thing is, john, russia is much bigger than ukraine. it has more people, more tanks than ukraine. and it seems that both russia and ukraine are trying to mount counter—offensives of their own, before winter sets in, before it becomes cold and dark and wet. the one area that you haven't mentioned is, of course, the naval situation both in crimea and in the sea around it.

i mean, that's been a remarkable success for ukraine. for a country that doesn't really have a fleet to speak of, it's been able to achieve impressive successes there by striking the headquarters of the russian black sea fleet. russia's pride and joy, if you like. another sign of ukraine being very successful in the black sea is the fact, that despite russia pulling out of the grain deal, ukraine has apparently been able to establish a safe corridor of its own, which grain exporters can use to take grain out of ports such as odesa.

so even though we're not seeing much movement on the ground, we are seeing some movement on the sea. ok, now, this is where i put you horribly on the spot. is ukraine going to win? ukraine is facing an extraordinarily difficult uphill struggle. it's facing a huge neighbour which had spent decades preparing for something like this. some people ask, you know, define ukraine's victory. what's it going to look like? does that mean restoring its borders to the way there were, back in 1991, which is what volodymyr zelensky says, including crimea? that's going to be difficult. but i think for ukraine, long—term survival is victory in itself. but for russia, survival in its present form is also not going to be easy, given how fragile such regimes are, longer term.

argentina is the most complex country in latin america, and i personally would say one of the most delightful. it's not for nothing that it's said to have the highest proportion of psychiatrists to general population on earth. its politics have always been a shambles, and its economy is an example of how not to do it. in 1900, argentina was richer than australia or sweden. by 2000, it had sunk far, far below them. with inflation at 140%, you might expect the economy minister, sergio massa, to get a drubbing from the electorate. instead, in last sunday's first round of the presidential election, he came top. and the bookies' favourite javier milei, the anarcho—capitalist who out trumps donald trump by campaigning with a chainsaw, promising to chop down the central bank and abolish the national currency,

could only come second. so what on earth will happen in the deciding round of this argentinean roller—coaster, when milei and massa face—off next month? got the clapper? no worries. there we are. i asked veronica smink, of bbc mundo in buenos aires. milei divided the centre—right and right vote. and these would, it would seem logical for them to group together and make him the winner in the second round. but, as we have proved with the primaries, and now with the first round of elections, logic doesn't apply necessarily in argentine elections. but milei is such a divisive character, isn't he? i mean, it's such an extreme thing to vote for him. surely a lot of centre—right people will think, "whoa,

that's just too far for us." more than half of the electorate will vote for a change, who voted for a change both in the primaries and in the first round. and if milei plays his cards right, and maybe tones down some of the rhetoric, he might — it would be likely for him to attract them. because you have to remember that since peronism was created almost eight decades ago, mostly politics has been about peronism and anti—peronism, and anti—peronism today is milei. can you just explain to me why a country as rich, as full of educated, intelligent people should have gone just so badly wrong in the last 60 years? governments spend more than what they have, and this is the main problem that argentina has had, which has tried to solve either by borrowing too much money,

and now it's in a debt crisis, or by financing it by printing out more money, and now this is why argentina has 140% inflation, and has had many hyperinflation problems in the past. having said that, another big issue that argentina has had is that it's basically being like going to and fro between democracy and military governments, and this has wrecked institutions. it's really hard to pinpoint it on one political party or on one presidency. they have all overspent, mainly because the institutions aren't strong enough to have checks and balances. so it's been a problem shared by all. and the economy? i mean, does anybody know really what to do to get that 140% inflation figure down? well, this is the main reason that explains milei's surprising success. he's proposing something

completely different. he's proposing dollarizing the economy, just looking at it in a different way. what he's saying is, "look, basically, "the people who have governed argentina so far "have not found a solution to this. "what i am proposing is something completely different, "completely radical, but that will solve the problem." so the issue is how many people will believe him,, and if what he's proposing can actually be done, which is the other issue. some people say it sounds great on paper, but it's impossible to do. what is it, i mean, to dollarize the economy, and what, to base it all on the us dollar? that's right. so he wants to do the equivalent to what ecuador did back in 2000, and basically saying, look, argentines don't use the peso to buy houses, to buy cars, to estimate the price of things. let's be honest, argentines use a dollar, which is a fact. but many other people say, well, using the us dollar will leave, and especially milei's proposal

to completely abolish the central bank, would leave argentina without any control over its monetary destiny, and it will be a complete failure. it will only make things worse. so that's what he's proposing. and what he's saying is, "look, everything that has been done "till now has not worked. "we should try something different." and the most important thing he's saying is, with different people. i was in argentina, in buenos aires at christmas and on new year last — this last year. it's more depressing than i think i've ever seen it. no, it's terrible. 40% of people live below the, below poverty. but in children under 14, it's actually 54%. so, you know, these are the future of argentina. so the situation could not be more dire. and i think that's why many, especially the younger voters, think that something very radical

has to be done to change this. well, that's it from unspun world for another week. next week, i hope the programme will come from lebanon. so pleasejoin me and the unspun team, if you can. and until we meet again, goodbye. good morning. welcome to breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. our headlines today: huge explosions in gaza. israel says it's hit 150 hamas targets and expanded its ground operations. the un votes in favour

of a resolution calling for an immediate humanitarian truce. the man suspected of killing 18 people in a shooting in the us state of maine has been found dead. good morning. a third place finish for england at the rugby world cup. they held on in paris to beat argentina and take the bronze medal for the first time at the tournament. morning all. no surprise with the weather story as we move through the weekend. low pressure still dominance. there are going to be showers or longer spells of rain for most of us. i will have all of the details, if you want them, coming up shortly. good morning. it's saturday 28 october. our main story: israel says it's hit 150 underground hamas targets in gaza overnight as it increased airstrikes and expanded its ground forces operations. hamas, which is regarded as a terrorist organisation by the uk government, says that its fighters are involved in clashes with israeli forces who have crossed into gaza.

our correspondent wyre davies has this report. the night sky over gaza lit up by what israel says is an intensification of air strikes against hamas positions. a relentless barrage from the air and according to hamas it was fighting israeli troops on the ground as well. israel says these are targeted attacks against specific hamas positions and its network of tunnels below gaza city. bombing that is undoubtedly causing widespread damage on the ground. but which israel says is a necessary part of its ultimate goal to eradicate hamas as a fighting force. translation: over the last few hours we have intensified our bombing i over gaza. the ground forces are also extending their operations this evening. from gaza, too, hamas continues to fire rockets towards israeli

cities including tel aviv and ashkelon. most are intercepted by the iron dome missile defence system, but some still get through. the intensifying israeli offensive is making a dire humanitarian situation on the ground in gaza even worse. thousands of gazans are, in effect, trapped with nowhere to go. according to aid agencies on the ground who say that nowhere in gaza is safe. in conditions like this it's hard to get even the most basic humanitarian aid to those who are in desperate need. there should be consideration made right now for humanitarian pauses. these are localised, temporary, specific pauses on the battlefield so that humanitarian assistance can get into people that need it or they, the people, can get out of that area in relative safety. that's what a humanitarian pause is and we think it is and idea worth exploring.

in recent days, israel has publicly acknowledged several ground incursions into gaza by land and the sea, hitting specific hamas targets and preparing the ground for what may be to come next. there are more than 220 hostages still being held by hamas inside gaza — israelis and many foreign nationals. some relatives are worried that a full—scale israeli invasion may jeopardise their safety and want israel to negotiate their release. others are support the government's actions. we can't wait any more. if we want them back safe and sound we have to get in and make sure that hamas will be demolished and make sure that they will go down on their knees and beg us to stop. israel continues to enact its revenge and its avowed aim of crushing hamas three weeks of the deadly attacks of 7 october, when 1400 people were killed by hamas gunmen streaming across the border fence. more than 7000 palestinians are reported to have since been

killed in gaza, many of them children. international calls for a ceasefire or a humanitarian pause are being drowned out by the intensity of the bombing. wyre davies, bbc news, jerusalem. our correspondent wyre davies joins us now from jerusalem. good morning to you. we are trying to get a sense this morning ofjust what this latest action involves. the israelis said this is extending operations and is in the last half hour or so they have given some indication ofjust hour or so they have given some indication of just what the targets are. indication of 'ust what the targets are. ., indication of 'ust what the targets are, ., ., ., " indication of 'ust what the targets are. . , , ., ., are. yeah, look, this is one of the most intensive _ are. yeah, look, this is one of the most intensive nights _ are. yeah, look, this is one of the most intensive nights of— are. yeah, look, this is one of the most intensive nights of bombing | are. yeah, look, this is one of the i most intensive nights of bombing so far, the pictures werejust incredible, as i said in my piece there, the whole night sky in gaza was [it up by the repeated flashes of bombs and shells hitting the ground and lord knows what it was like for the people on the ground in gaza, many people have been unable

to leave northern gaza and they will certainly have been affected in a dramatic way by that bombing last night. nonetheless, israel says these are targeted attacks against specific hamas targets. they say, for example, they managed to identify, locate, and kill a senior hamas commander last night, he was the commander responsible for the aerial division, apparently, some of the drones and paragliders that were used in those attacks of 7 october in 1400 people were killed inside israel by hamas operatives going across the fence, often by air, sometimes in the paragliders. the amount apparently responsible for that was assassinated, killed by israel, and they have made similar claims about senior hamas commanders in recent days. they're going up to hamas targets. the problem is, as we know, gaza is a densely populated area, 2—.1 million people. nowhere in the gaza strip is safe, say the

united nations. they know the aid agencies, and according to the health ministry of gaza, which is run by hamas, more than 7000 people have been killed, more than half of those children.— those children. specifically the israeli army — those children. specifically the israeli army this _ those children. specifically the israeli army this morning i those children. specifically the l israeli army this morning saying those children. specifically the i israeli army this morning saying it has hit 150 underground targets. what would that mean?- has hit 150 underground targets. what would that mean? yeah, that is really interesting. _ what would that mean? yeah, that is really interesting. obviously - what would that mean? yeah, that is really interesting. obviously we i really interesting. obviously we know from history, from the way things have developed in recent years and, indeed, from the testimony of some of the hostages that have been released, that hamas has this considerable network of underground tunnels underneath gaza city are perhaps other parts of the gaza strip. israel says they are command and control centres, some of them, and that is why israel not only wants to bomb from the air but also go in on the ground because it will take that level of destruction and that level of military force to crush hamas once and for all, which is israel's avowed aim. for crush hamas once and for all, which is israel's avowed aim.— is israel's avowed aim. for the moment. _ is israel's avowed aim. for the moment, thank _ is israel's avowed aim. for the

moment, thank you. _ the un general assembly has voted overwhelmingly to adopt a resolution — put forward by arab countries — calling for a humanitarian truce in gaza. it's not binding, but steps up the pressure for a solution to be found to the conflict. the vote has been angrily criticised by israel's ambassador to the un. our correspondent nada tawfik has this report. 120 nations from every corner of the globe adding their weight to the increasingly desperate pleas of the un and palestinians after the un security council failed to act. and only 14 countries voting against it. while the resolution is not binding, the palestinian ambassador, riyad mansour, celebrated the outcome. today, the general assembly declared that a call — stop the war and stop it now, send humanitarian assistance now, and also stop the ethnic cleansing and the killing and protect the palestinian, protect the civilians.

the resolution has divided western nations. us, israel's staunchest ally, voted against it and canada, the uk, and several european nations abstained, wanting a direct condemnation of hamas in the text. but other europeans supported it, such as ireland, spain, france, and belgium. the israeli ambassador claimed in the chamber after the vote that there was no humanitarian crisis in gaza and attacked the un's legitimacy. this organisation was founded in the wake of the holocaust for the purpose of preventing atrocities. yet the spectacle we just saw proves beyond a doubt that the un is committed, sadly, tragically, not to preventing but ensuring further atrocities. whether action here any general assembly changes anything is debatable. still, just blocks away from the un, hundreds of protesters wanting

a ceasefire shutdown grand central terminal, another indication that calls for an answer to the war are growing, as are fears that it could spread further into the region. nada tawfik, bbc news, at the united nations in new york. we were just hearing a short while ago from our corresponded wyre davies injerusalem about ago from our corresponded wyre davies in jerusalem about the underground network that has been hit by the israeli army in north gaza tonight. this is the city view of the gaza skyline, from gaza city. and what we understand is 150 underground targets have been hit. these underground targets are because of the underground network that hamas, the group, uses to communicate and to travel around and to have operations from. we also understand that a commander of

hamas, who infiltrated israel and paragliders on 7 october and responsible for drone attack on israeli military posts was also killed, according to israel's military. our political correspondent shelley phelps joins us now. we have been getting up—to—date with what has been happening on the ground in the middle east, in gaza, and the latest operations that have been expanded. what about the uk government's response? itinfoil. been expanded. what about the uk government's response? well, naga, here in the uk — government's response? well, naga, here in the uk politicians _ government's response? well, naga, here in the uk politicians are - here in the uk politicians are waking up and adjusting this news about the events that have taken place overnight, working out what that means and, particular, this question of whether this does mark the beginning of a full ground invasion. we did have some reaction last night from the lawrence okolie, james cleverly, who put a post on social media and in that he said he recognised israel was expanding their military campaign. he reiterated the government's position, saying that they support

israel's right to self defence in line with international humanitarian law and they said there would be doing what they can to push for the protection of palestinian civilians. now, james cleverly also said that the government's top priority was keeping the safety of british nationals in gaza and the region say. we understand that around 200 british nationals are trapped there and the government has sent border force staff members to egypt, who are set up there, should the rafah crossing open so that people are able to start to get out, those foreign nationals. we also had reaction overnights from scotland's first officer, humza yousaf, who has a very personal connection to this in that his in—laws are trapped in gaza at the moment, they were there visiting family when the conflict broke out and he said last night on social media how he hadn't been able to make contact with them and he was praying there would survive the

but we haven't seen any of those resignations take place yet. but what those around keir starmer are saying is that they understand why people are calling for a ceasefire and the humanitarian situation, but they are holding firm on their position on this.— they are holding firm on their osition on this. . , . position on this. thanks very much. shelley phelps _ position on this. thanks very much. shelley phelps there _ position on this. thanks very much. shelley phelps there for _ position on this. thanks very much. shelley phelps there for us. - saturday morning, just coming up to 715. here's louise with this morning's weather. you have it all covered there, a bit of sun, a bit of cloud, a bit of rain, a bit of everything. well, that is what — rain, a bit of everything. well, that is what we're _ rain, a bit of everything. well, that is what we're going i rain, a bit of everything. well, that is what we're going to i rain, a bit of everything. well, j that is what we're going to go, rain, a bit of everything. well, i that is what we're going to go, a little bit of everything. we had it for the last couple of weeks. we're sick to the back rain at the moment unfortunately. but there is more to come and it looks likely into the beginning of november as well we will see some very heavy rain. here is the detail if you wanted. low pressure still with us out to the west and this frontal system will bring some very persistent, heavy

rain across southwest england later on today. this has been the story so far. we have saori outbreaks of rain fitting into eastern scotland, they will link all day, some showers into northern ireland and a few scattered showers across england and wales. but here is where we will see, perhaps, some brightness from time to time today. maybe through the middle part of the morning we will have a slightly quieter story. it is not going to last. we will see rain, some heavy, possibly thundering, putting into the south west accompanied by some squally, gusty winds, gales on exposed channel close in the rain will be putting into south wales, southern midlands, and to the southeast of london by the end of the afternoon. further north it stays blustery. we still keep that easterly wind feeding and plenty of showers as well across scotland. pretty messy story. in terms of the feel of things, the temperatures have been pretty consistent in recent days, 10—16 the high, that will be the story as well for the rest of the weekend. rammell swifts dudley north overnight, a

blanket of cloud, temperatures not falling too far. it will pretty much grind to a halt across northern england and the scottish borders. we keep that rain coming into eastern scotland as well. overnight temperatures generally between nine and 10 degrees, but on sunday the main emphasis of the rain then in areas where we are not likely to need it. but across parts of eastern scotland we are going to see some fairly persistent rain throughout the day. now, this is where we had the day. now, this is where we had the significant flooding last weekend and that is just going to exacerbate the issue here, the rain falling on pretty saturated ground. plenty of showers along the south and was raising coast as we go through the day on sunday afternoon, 10- 15 through the day on sunday afternoon, 10— 15 degrees the overall high. looking further ahead, we do get a little window of slightly wider weather monday and tuesday, but through the middle part of the week most significant wet and windy weather is better to return, some of that rain really could be quite heavy as well for a time. so a relatively quiet start, but the

beginning of november looks pretty miserable as well stop back to you two. thanks very much, we will speak to you later. a man suspected of killing 18 people in a shooting in the us state of maine has been found dead after a three—day man—hunt. police say robert card, who was 40, was found dead from an apparently self—inflicted gunshot wound. nomia iqbal reports from maine. for days, the killer of 18 people gunned down while on a night out was untraceable. forty—year—old army reservist robert card was being hunted by police. they searched by air, land, and sea for the man described as armed and dangerous. last night his fate was confirmed. like many people, i'm breathing a sigh of relief knowing that robert card is no longer a threat to anyone. i know there are some people, many people who share that sentiment, but i also know

that his death may not bring solace to many. but now is a time to heal. he's said to have died from a self—inflicted gun wound. our work again is not done here. i was very elated tonight when i got the word from commissioner sauschuck advising me of the revelation of what took place and that mr card is deceased and no longer a threat to our community or any other community. this city and the towns around it have been in lockdown since wednesday nights. when news came through that the suspected gunman had been found that one man here shouted "finally" and you could see this as a relief on his face. he said the community could now rest easy. but card's actions leave behind a city destroyed and families with never—ending grief. arthur strout was murdered while playing pool in a bar. his wife is struggling to explain what happened

to their 13—year—old daughter. maine has loose gun—control laws. she wants that changed. we're not doing better if things like this keep happening. we need, as a community, to think about these things and think about how we needed to change them so the families that are going through this — nobody else has to go through it again. another shooting now scars america and in a state that was considered one of the safer places in the country. president biden has once again called on congress to get tougher and stricter on guns. nomia iqbal, bbc news, maine. the issue of dangerous dogs is firmly in the spotlight at the moment after a series of horrific attacks, but how exactly do police deal with out—of—control animals? our reporterjoan cummins has been to meet officers in the west midlands to find out how the force's specialist handlers, and their own dogs, are trained.

with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. was when you write up they would development from the middle east. —— let's bring you right up to date with developments. israel has said it's hit 150 underground targets in gaza overnight after a series of heavy air strikes. huge explosions have been seen over the territory, which has already been the target of weeks of bombing. this morning the israeli government also confirmed it has killed a hamas military commander, who was instrumental in leading the attacks on israel three weeks ago. however, it refused to say whether the increase in fighting marks the start of a full scale ground offensive. hamas, which is regarded as a terrorist organisation by many governments including the uk, has also fired rockets into israel and confirmed its fighters are facing israeli troops -- i'm —— i'm not going to speculate, israel will not stop with its efforts with the barrage of rockets, the indiscriminate firing of rockets against our citizens. hamas, which is regarded as a terrorist organisation by many

governments including the uk, has also fired rockets into israel and confirmed its fighters are facing israeli troops in the gaza strip. the un general assembly has called for an immediate humanitarian truce, with 120 states voting for a resolution put forward byjordan. israel strongly criticised the decision, but it was welcomed by palestinian officials. the general assembly prevailed and sent the appropriate message, not only to the palestinian people, that there is justice and fairness and internationally humanitarian law upheld by the general assembly, but also it sent the message to everyone enough is enough, this war has to stop, the carnage against our people has to stop and humanitarian assistance should begin to enter the gaza strip, with at least 100 truckloads of humanitarian assistance.— truckloads of humanitarian assistance. ., assistance. we can show you now the scenes outside _ assistance. we can show you now the scenes outside a _ assistance. we can show you now the scenes outside a hospital _ assistance. we can show you now the scenes outside a hospital in -

this is being called an intensified operation, as though just inevitably make the idea of bringing more humanitarian aid in or some kind of a truce, does that make that less and less possible or likely?- and less possible or likely? well, now we know _ and less possible or likely? well, now we know the _ and less possible or likely? well, now we know the israeli - and less possible or likely? -ii now we know the israeli response to the general assembly's non—binding resolution, it is important to remember it is non—binding and there were quite a large number of countries, including our own, to abstain from that vote, it would indicate very clearly that the israelis are not interested at all in a truce at this stage. 24 hours ago, one could help put the possibility forward that if there was a resolution for a ceasefire, because netanyahu could make up his mind what to do about the hostages the israelis might have been prepared to accept a truce for a time being and let some kind of negotiation go forward to get those hostages out, but it would seem that a decision has been made by the israeli government that going on, getting on with the operation, they are ignoring the non—binding general

assembly requirement for a ceasefire, and i think the actions now indicating what the decisions are in a tel aviv and it would seem to me, and through the blackout into theissue to me, and through the blackout into the issue as well, that the israelis are going for it, this is probably the major incursion now developing. lord dannatt, we appreciate your time this morning. lord richard dannatt, former head of the british army. it is 22 minutes to eight. good morning to you. it is difficult when you lose what you think is the big match to get into the final. but there is always prided to play for, particularly in england's case. absolutely. that place is not england set out to do at the start of this welcome, but this is a team in transition, ex—players are retiring from the squad, it is the head coach's first world cup in charge and, as you say, they had to come back from the very narrow defeat to south africa, one point in it, so that can be demoralising but

they pick themselves up and got the win over argentina. they held on for it. six wins from seven matches when there was just one point in that, it is not a disgrace at all. england ended their rugby world cup campaign with a victory, but it was a narrow one — scraping past argentina 26—23 in the third—place play—off in paris. the final between new zealand and south africa will be played later. our correspondent andy swiss reports. it wasn't quite the prize they came for at this welcome, but for england was a bronze medal and it was richly deserved stop remember, they had beaten argentina in the group stage and they lead them at the break, courtesy of an earls�*s barnstorming try. but after it, argentina hit back and how. the brilliance of santiago carreras briefly putting them ahead. but then theo dan charge—down a kick and restored england's leave before dramatic finish. a penalty from owen farrell

made him the tournament's top points scorer, but with minutes left argentina to draw level. nicolas sanchez missed, though, and england clung on for a 26/23 victory and third place. some reward for a gutsy campaign. today, though, the focus turned to the final with defending champion south africa ready to take on new zealand. the two most successful sides this tournament has ever seen. in successful sides this tournament has ever seen. , , , , ever seen. in my eyes it is the bi est ever seen. in my eyes it is the biggest in _ ever seen. in my eyes it is the biggest in rugby _ ever seen. in my eyes it is the biggest in rugby history - ever seen. in my eyes it is the biggest in rugby history and i ever seen. in my eyes it is the l biggest in rugby history and i'm always fortunate and honoured to be part of a game like this and, to be honest, your country of this game, playing in the world cup final, touring the world, it is used. aha, lat touring the world, it is used. a lot of people. — touring the world, it is used. a lot of people. a _ touring the world, it is used. a lot of people. a lot — touring the world, it is used. a lot of people, a lot of _ touring the world, it is used. a lot of people, a lot of kiwis _ touring the world, it is used. a lot of people, a lot of kiwis have made the last— of people, a lot of kiwis have made the last second dust to come over, defending — the last second dust to come over, defending world champs, so we obviously — defending world champs, so we obviously out there to win the cup and do _ obviously out there to win the cup and do ourselves proud. and whoever wins will become _ and do ourselves proud. and whoever wins will become the _ and do ourselves proud. and whoever wins will become the first _ and do ourselves proud. and whoever wins will become the first team - and do ourselves proud. and whoever wins will become the first team to - wins will become the first team to lift the trophy four times after new

the day, 40 millimetres of rain over the last five hours into northern ireland and showers down to the south. misty, murky but dry, and make the most of it if you have a window of fine, sunny weather, particularly during the latter stages of this morning because it's not going to last. here is a wet and ready — wendy the weather putting in from the southwest, gusty winds on exposed coasts as well, up to the south midlands and the london area by the end of the afternoon. that will push its way steadily north, a windy day generally across the country, gusts of winds 30 to 40 mph, and in terms of the fear of the weather, fairly academic, if you are caught in the rain or the sharps hours, 10—16 degrees are still not bad for this time of year. through the night tonight that wet weather down to the south will drift its way steadily northwards, a lot of cloud around preventing temperatures from falling too far but it means more persistent rain moving into northern

england, southern scotland and gradually lingering across scotland tomorrow, a real cause for concern, yellow weather warnings issued from the office because already the ground is very saturated across east and scotland. sun sound and blustery for the rest of the showers, maybe even the odd rumble of thunder, in terms of the wind gust, once again another blustery day, particularly further north, 40 to 50 miles an hour gust of winds, temperatures again 10— 15 degrees. are we going to get a chance for a rest? monday, tuesday, possibly showers view and further between but it's not going to last because into next week more wet and windy weather by the middle part of the week and we could see some very heavy rain and damaging gusts of wind, so we're going to close out november as we have seen for the last couple of weeks, back to you. for the last couple of weeks, back to ou. ., ., , for the last couple of weeks, back to ou. . ., ., for the last couple of weeks, back to ou. . .,, ,

libel. a viewer called rebecca wandered... an article on the bbc news website contained the phrase palestinian officials say the blast was caused by an israeli air strike but that reference to the source of the claim produced this withering response from journalist and presenter andrew neill about his former employer. it thinks that attribution gets it off the hook, but it doesn't, the palestinian officials are of course hamas enforcers and liars, the blast almost certainly caused by a malfunctioning missile fired from gaza and israel. ibm;r malfunctioning missile fired from gaza and israel.— malfunctioning missile fired from gaza and israel. by the time the bbc made a reluctance _ gaza and israel. by the time the bbcj made a reluctance acknowledgement that perhaps events were not quite as it had reported, broadcasts, much

this recent demonstration accused the bbc a manufacturing consent for israel's war crimes and having palestinian blood on its hands, and it ended up at the broadcast house protesters through red paint over the front door and some viewers say they detect a pro— israeli bias. most people in the uk don't even understand this conflict, they listen to your narrative and think palestine bad, is well good. i've had dozens of personal stories from israeli people regarding these terrible militant attacks, no little —— little to no mention of palestinian children and families killed in the bombing raids, where are their personal stories?

lets discuss the challenges the bbc is facing in covering this conflict. the director of the digital and channel for bbc news, thank you for coming here. let's start about how you source claims in this conflict, you source claims in this conflict, you use the palestinian authorities, and we know sometimes they prove unreliable with the rocket explosion for example, should the bbc be more careful about putting our claims before you can verify them? that is what we have _ before you can verify them? that is what we have learned _ before you can verify them? that is what we have learned and - before you can verify them? that is what we have learned and that i before you can verify them? that is what we have learned and that is i what we have learned and that is what we have learned and that is what we have discussed and decided that we need to be even clearer, it is such a fundamental principle fast that we always are transparent about what we know and what we don't know, who our sources are and what the context of anything we do is, but we need to realise that we are living in a time where a simple headline or moment from a news channel can be lifted out of context by people who

have strong opinions about this conflict and that means that even in the short headline, we need to make it absolutely crystal clear, whether this is facts or whether it is coming from a source, and to that source is, and when you think about that tuesday evening with a blast at the hospital, everything was attributed, it got the element of the palestinian authorities, being run by hamas was not part of the headline and this is why we have made some i would say not changes, but evolving of how we report and where we report the stuff. that on our speculation _ where we report the stuff. that on our speculation has _ where we report the stuff. that on our speculation has caused - our speculation has caused considerable anger and had real—life consequences. do you accepted has the political situation? t consequences. do you accepted has the political situation?— the political situation? i think it is not for us _ the political situation? i think it is not for us to _ the political situation? i think it is not for us to judge _ the political situation? i think it is not for us to judge what i the political situation? i think it is not for us to judge what the i is not for us to judge what the consequences are of reporting, you could also talk about not reporting

also having consequences and we know that many people, millions come to the bbc to learn what is going on, so we are waiting until we are absolutely sure about what happened last tuesday, that's not an option for any reputable news organisation, there is still discussions on verification going on although it seems more and more clear that it was a missile that was misfired and what we have to do is to be very transparent and do our best to report what we see and also to be clear about how we try to verify the information we get. just clear about how we try to verify the information we get.— information we get. just to go back to this issue _ information we get. just to go back to this issue you _ information we get. just to go back to this issue you mentioned - information we get. just to go back| to this issue you mentioned earlier, headlines and news alerts, you should start with the source of the claim, an organisation or claim says an organisation reports that hundreds have been killed can you explain that? hate hundreds have been killed can you explain that?— hundreds have been killed can you explain that? we do not have direct access necessarily _ explain that? we do not have direct access necessarily to _ explain that? we do not have direct

extremely dangerous circumstances, both them and their families, that we are doing our very best to make sure that when we cover this war, we make the human toll, the human side of the coverage very clear to everyone, so we are absolutely using a of resources to get to the gaza people and their suffering, and everyone looking at our output have been able to see that in the last few days, the same is true for the victims on the israeli side because we know it's a combination of updates and facts and analysis, and then the human stories that are going to bring the story home to us. ijust wonder how going to bring the story home to us. i just wonder how far the issue going to bring the story home to us. ijust wonder how far the issue of lack of access in gaza, there are very few journalists now lack of access in gaza, there are very fewjournalists now in gaza from outside aren't there? it's a very big challenge for us and other news organisations, we are a little better place than other organisations because we have actual teams inside gaza and of course, we

are very proud of that, and very proud of the work our colleagues are doing under very dangerous circumstances but the access is not very easy, which is why we also have to use other ways, via social media, communities in britain that are in contact with family members, but thatis contact with family members, but that is also true on the israeli side, we have seen how this war is spilling right into communities and families that are directly affected, which is one of the reasons why this is also a very sad and terrible news story. thank you very much. thank you for all your comments this week. if you want to share your opinions about what you see or hear, on tv, radio online and social media, e—mail us on the website below, or find us on acts, formerly known as

been reported to have been killed in gaza, many of them children. there a humanitarian ceasefire calls but they have been drowned out by the bombing. so we can bring you some information from parts of gaza and we can take you outside of the hospital. we've been getting information from our colleague. he is a resident of gaza, he's been witnessing first—hand what has been happening and he'sjust witnessing first—hand what has been happening and he's just updated us with this latest, these latest... the latest expanding operation it's been described by israel. saying there's been a huge bombardment on there's been a huge bombardment on the strip like we've never seen before. he describes huge flames which can be seen rising into the

sky. and it says he they seem to be using different types of bonds.. of bonds. there's been panic everywhere, even here in this city where the bombing was less. people have been trying to reach family members and other areas to see if they are safe. phones have been cut off. it's total chaos according to our correspondence. the reason we are reading his words today is because the communication is effectively down. we can take you to our correspondent injerusalem. just reacting to what we've heard from

our colleague, we know that communications are down. it's very difficult to know and get a sense of what these latest expanding operations are. it's hard to know what effect they're having? figs operations are. it's hard to know what effect they're having? as you sa , our what effect they're having? as you say, your correspondent _ what effect they're having? as you say, your correspondent is - what effect they're having? as you | say, your correspondent is working on a most appalling conditions. it's good to find out that he and other colleagues are safe but he is talking about what's happening in southern gaza. it's meant to be an area that is relatively safe. these area that is relatively safe. these are areas which a million plus palestinian citizens have been told to flee. it's pretty obvious what happened last night. this intense bombing in the north and south. the un are saying that there is no where in gaza that is safe. we have been

getting some more details from the israelis this morning about their specific targets. this looks like an intense blanket bombing campaign from a distance and certainly, the night sky in gaza was lit up last night sky in gaza was lit up last night and huge swathes of the gaza strip have been demolished. the israelis say they are targeting specific hamas positions. they allegedly targeted tunnel networks which are believed to house hamas positions. we know they exist because one of the hostages released last week talked about being taken to a network of tunnels. it possibly with some of the hostages are being kept. it's also where israelis have been able to identify a senior hamas

commander area division using drones. so israel's position is that these are targeted attacks, but more ground operations could possibly take place. there has even been in operation from the sea, a land operation. operation from the sea, a land operation-— operation from the sea, a land oeration. �* , ., ., ., operation. let's turn our attention to diplomacy _ operation. let's turn our attention to diplomacy and _ operation. let's turn our attention to diplomacy and we _ operation. let's turn our attention to diplomacy and we know- operation. let's turn our attention to diplomacy and we know there l operation. let's turn our attention l to diplomacy and we know there has been calls for humanitarian truce.

good morning. welcome to breakfast. let's take a moment to bring you up—to—date and a number of significant developments it says 150

underground targets of heavy air israel is going to continue and the barrage of rockets, the industry minute fire of rockets against cities and zillions. the un general assembly, there's been a call for immediate true voted

for a resolution. the uk abstain from that foot. james cleverly is now said he does not believe hamas would honour the ceasefire. brute now said he does not believe hamas would honour the ceasefire. we want to see this resolved, _ would honour the ceasefire. we want to see this resolved, we _ would honour the ceasefire. we want to see this resolved, we want - would honour the ceasefire. we want to see this resolved, we want to - would honour the ceasefire. we want to see this resolved, we want to see| to see this resolved, we want to see israel safe, peaceful and secure but as yet, i have seen or heard nothing from hamas that gives me any confidence that they either desire or would abide by calls for ac four. we've been talking about a hospital which has been taking people from the north of the country we have had reports that as can occasions are down in south gaza when bombs and missiles were being hit, the ambulances, because they had no communications, were heading straightjust for the explosions, straight just for the explosions, just straightjust for the explosions, just try to help anyone who may be injured and we understand that

hospitals doing the best it can in that region. we have had an update from our correspondence who is in the town who did say there was a huge bombardment in the north of gaza strip on a scale never seen before and described huge flames which could have been seen rising into the sky and he said it seemed as though they were using different types of bombs. we are trying to give you an idea of what has been happening in gaza. whilst all this is happening, we can talk now to sharon whose mother was released from being held hostage in gaza earlier this week. sharon, from being held hostage in gaza earlierthis week. sharon, good morning to. i cannot imagine how you are feeling at this moment in time seeing the news this morning. i don't know how to feel at the moment. we are in the middle of the

situation where we have 220 coke, so the number is still rising, hostages. it seems there is a lot of media attention towards the story of my mum and the story of the place, but really, we are not ready to do anything else, we cannot even properly mourn our dead or start believing that we can go to the next stage when there are 228 people held hostage. my mum is back, she knew about 25 she now knows there are 228. she knows that the condition there were not as atrocious as we had imagined but they are very, very tough. she does not believe many of them would last very long. this morning i asked her what to say and she said that she is here but her heart is there with the rest of the people and we have to break to her the news that more and more people

that she knows are held hostage. this is where we are, we are in the midst of this horrible situation. and your father is being held hostage as well. do you have any information about him and his condition? we information about him and his condition?— information about him and his condition? ~ ., :, , :, , condition? we have no news of my father whatsoever, _ condition? we have no news of my father whatsoever, no _ condition? we have no news of my father whatsoever, no news. - condition? we have no news of my father whatsoever, no news. we . condition? we have no news of my - father whatsoever, no news. we knew from my mum that he was injured. we know that his body was not found. we know that his body was not found. we know that his body was not found. we know that he is elderly and frail, as many other people, he is a civilian, caught in this horrendous situation. many other members there are babies and children and very elderly people. they have now been underground in a really, really difficult situation for a long, long time. this is getting more and more desperate everyday.—

desperate everyday. when you see what is happening _ desperate everyday. when you see what is happening this _ desperate everyday. when you see what is happening this morning, i what is happening this morning, which is being described as expanded operations by israel, and you know and you think about how hamas may react, knowing there are hostages being held, what do you think? i think that the quicker they are back, the easier it will be to negotiate any resolution for this horrific situation. in terms of citizens on the ground, we have lost so much, so many of us have lost so much that i don't feel, i am not gaining personally from the suffering of others, in any way, shape orform. i want this suffering of others, in any way, shape or form. i want this to suffering of others, in any way, shape orform. i want this to be resolved, i want these people to come back. we have lost enough and once they come back, it would be

easier to find a resolution for all sides. so this is what all national bodies, all governments must immediately. we must not wait, we must not do there, we must not concentrate on stories about this and that on the other. there are people being held there. the real stories are underground and they are not being heard. what stories are underground and they are not being heard.— stories are underground and they are not being heard. what do you know of which authorities, _ not being heard. what do you know of which authorities, which _ not being heard. what do you know of which authorities, which governmentsj which authorities, which governments are partaking in the negotiations for hostage releases and what is that telling you in terms of the likelihood or perhaps not, of them being released? what hope is that giving you in terms of international diplomacy? i giving you in terms of international diloma ? ~' :, giving you in terms of international diloma ? ,, :, ., ., diplomacy? i know that there are many people _ diplomacy? i know that there are many people working _ diplomacy? i know that there are many people working towards . diplomacy? i know that there are l many people working towards this. diplomacy? i know that there are i many people working towards this. i know there are many people on all sides that are working towards this. in the international community, britain, israel, buti in the international community, britain, israel, but i hearthe

your reaction and indeed, wejust showed the very first pictures we have seen of what has been described as an expanded is really a military operation. give me your reaction to what we understand so far of what is happening today? it what we understand so far of what is happening today?— what we understand so far of what is happening today? it does not seem as israel has as — happening today? it does not seem as israel has as yet _ happening today? it does not seem as israel has as yet announced _ happening today? it does not seem as israel has as yet announced a - happening today? it does not seem as israel has as yet announced a formal l israel has as yet announced a formal launch of their full ground invasion but we have seen a significant uptick in air strikes of a night. i believe that is that highest number of air strikes that have taken place as yet. this is the opposite of what the un general assembly voted for yesterday and obviously what we don't know is the full impact because telecom occasions have been disrupted so there is now, the un are saying they cannot contact the people on the ground. that also means that palestinians on the ground cannot call for ambulances or for help. in ground cannot call for ambulances or for hel. , :, ground cannot call for ambulances or forhel. , :, , :, for help. in terms of the diplomacy, ou for help. in terms of the diplomacy, you mentioned _ for help. in terms of the diplomacy, you mentioned that _ for help. in terms of the diplomacy, you mentioned that vote _ for help. in terms of the diplomacy, you mentioned that vote in - for help. in terms of the diplomacy, you mentioned that vote in the i for help. in terms of the diplomacy, you mentioned that vote in the un i you mentioned that vote in the un last night, this is not legally binding but it was a call for human at aryan truths, which went through.

but the uk along with some other countries abstained from that vote, was that the correct thing to do? i think it is enormously difficult. 120 different countries voted for a truce. personally, ido 120 different countries voted for a truce. personally, i do support a truce. personally, i do support a truce. the reason being that we need to alleviate the suffering, we need to alleviate the suffering, we need to get more aid in. people are starting to die because they do not have access to basic goods and for my part, i don'tjust want to see aid going into the rafah crossing, i want to see a going in to the west bank so that it can get into gaza to help people. we need to get hostages out, i don't see how an uptick in violence does that, and we also still have british nationals on the ground in gaza who we now have lost contact with. again, humanitarian troops would give us the opportunity to get them out. it's important we use the word, troops. that does not mean a long—term cessation of histology is, it means a temporary white flag which does not even a move necessarily tape a lyrical

solution, just means a pause to get that aid in. ultimately, solution, just means a pause to get thataid in. ultimately, i solution, just means a pause to get that aid in. ultimately, i returned from a jordan only yesterday in the way we end this is a political solution. we need to make sure that no one can pop up after hamas who becomes a terrorist organisation fighting for a two state solution. we have to enter the risk of terrorism to israel and make sure that both is released and palestinians can live in peace and thatis palestinians can live in peace and that is only through a prodigal solution. :, , ., ., ., solution. you will be aware that the forei . n solution. you will be aware that the foreign secretary _ solution. you will be aware that the foreign secretary james _ solution. you will be aware that the foreign secretary james cleverly i solution. you will be aware that the | foreign secretary james cleverly has this morning responded to events this morning responded to events this morning responded to events this morning but also to that vote at the un, saying that he doesn't believe you can trust hamas to stick to any arrangement. given what you just said, what you think should happen and how what could be done if there were some kind of truce for a period of time, it is position, do you think, correct position as mike hamas is a terrorist organisation. of hamas is a terrorist organisation. of course you cannot trust what they

of course you cannot trust what they say but there are partners who have been working incredibly hard through well—established channels who can help us to restrain hamas. we do need to get aid in, we do need to get siblings out and we must get hostages home. there has to be ambition to try and make that happen so i do think we need to look at how we secure a truce because otherwise, we secure a truce because otherwise, we will see the 2.4 million people inside gaza suffer more and more and we will see continuation of the rockets towards israel. this is not about picking a side, we need to support israel to strengthen its aaron dome to make sure that rockets from hamas are not killing israelis. we need to make sure we get the aid in so we stop the human cherry and suffering. 1.2 million children bear no guilt for the actions of a terrorist group that does not represent them and does not represent them and does not represent them and does not represent the palestinian people, and then we need to look at what we can do more generally to make sure this does not spread. we have seen

the highest levels of violence in the highest levels of violence in the west bank for many, many years. we have air strikes against his brother who said they will move in as a ground attack. in syria, the air strikes and all the popular mobilisation courses which are essentially iranian militia waiting to join essentially iranian militia waiting tojoin in on this, the suffering of this point only looks like it is going in one direction and that is worse. we need a humanitarian truce so we can get aid info is we appreciate your time this morning. our correspondence throughout the morning will bring us more information as it comes into us. when you have lost something that is so important to you, angled in the semifinals, you then have to come after the battering and bruises, you have to get yourself back up and tackle again. someone you have

at the break. afterwards, argentina hit back and how? the billions briefly putting them ahead. but then theo dan charged down a kick and restored england's lead before a dramatic finish. a penalty from eoin farrell made him of the treatment�*s top points scorer but with minutes left, a chance for argentina to draw level. sanchez missed and england long on for a 26—23 victory and third place. some reward for a gutsy campaign. today though, the focus turns to the final with defending champions south africa ready to take on new zealand. the two most successful sides this tournament has ever seen. , , , , ever seen. this is the biggest rival in ever seen. this is the biggest rivalry in rugby _ ever seen. this is the biggest rivalry in rugby history - ever seen. this is the biggest rivalry in rugby history and i l ever seen. this is the biggest l rivalry in rugby history and i am always honoured to be part of a game like this and to be honest, you cannot dream of this game, playing the all blacks in a rugby world cup

were not at full strength for this one, they are currently missing key midfielders through injury. this puts the dutch top on goal difference they will be at home for the reverse fixture on tuesday. wales were thrashed 5—1 by two—time world champions germany. the defeat leads wales bottom of their group with no points after three games. northern ireland also beaten in hungary. in the premier league, tottenham are five points clear at the top of the table after they beat crystal palace 2-1. all the table after they beat crystal palace 2—1. all the goals came in the second half with this strike proving to be the winner at selhurst park. spurs have now won eight and drawn two of their opening ten games. their north london rivals arsenal play later on today and they could close the gap on tottenham and also, it is the manchester derby tomorrow

as well. that is your sport. the weather is next. showery, showery is the story for the next three days. but we get an extra hour in bed which, unless you're a night shift worker, is great news. i'm starting with the positives because the rest of the story is a pretty familiar picture. low pressure out to the west, lots of showers today and more persistent rain from this weather front that will start to push on from the south—west so by the middle part of the afternoon, across cornwall, into devon, we will see some wet and windy weather. that will nudge its way slowly north wales across dorset towards the south midlands and eventually into the capital by the end of the afternoon. elsewhere, some persistent showers into

northern ireland and the east of scotland once again. not the heavy persistent rain but nonetheless, showers expected here through the afternoon. the winds a future as well. gusts in excess of 30 malls on our end may be more in places. temperatures through the afternoon was set at around nine to 16 degrees. all ice down to the south with rain as we go through the evening hours. it will push its way steadily northwards to drive a lot of cloud across the country. the temperatures will hold up overnight. heavy rain moving into northern ireland, northern england and gradually drifting its way into scotland through the day on sunday so the next concern will be this persistent rain that will continue to move into scotland. not as heavy as we head last week with storm babet but nevertheless, the ground is very saturated and that could cause some issues. the potentialfor another 100 metres of rain to higher ground for that system eases through. sunny spells in blustery

showers elsewhere. once again, the wind is a feature perhaps even stronger tomorrow afternoon. top temperatures again a summer story to the last few days, ten to 15 degrees. we all get a slightly quieter but there will still be showers around on monday and into tuesday before wednesday, we see another front pushing tuesday before wednesday, we see anotherfront pushing in tuesday before wednesday, we see another front pushing in and then another front pushing in and then another area of low pressure with this front waiting in the wings as well. so, you've guessed it, we will close down october on a quieter note but some heavy rain and strong winds return for early november. alan partridge is back with his third memoir. iamjust looking alan partridge is back with his third memoir. i am just looking at the picture over your shoulder stop he knows how to strike a pose! that is a good suit for television as mac what is that? north's finest
