latest contact he has had with foreign office officials. yesterday ni . ht at foreign office officials. yesterday night at midnight, _ foreign office officials. yesterday night at midnight, 24 _ foreign office officials. yesterday night at midnight, 24 hours - foreign office officials. yesterday night at midnight, 24 hours ago l foreign office officials. yesterday l night at midnight, 24 hours ago the british foreign ministry contacted me as i am the contact person for my family in gaza. they said your brother and his family are on the list to leave gaza. i explained to them that my brother is in gaza city and i cannot leave because israel doesn't leave let anyone go from gaza city to the border. i told them every second means my family could lose their lives. the british foreign ministry have said that we can do nothing for your family. foreign ministry have said that we can do nothing for yourfamily. so they are stuck? my brother is the only plastic surgeon in gaza. he was working here in london then decided to go back to gaza to set up a

plastic surgery department in gaza. he says he doesn't want to leave but he wants his pregnant wife, his two daughters and one son to leave gaza so he can work in the hospital without having to stress that his family might be killed at any time. to contact the british foreign ministry that he wanted his family to leave but he said if i am not in gaza right now i will be coming to help people as i am a doctor and doing humanitarian work. the issue we have is that at meds and his family are inside a hospital for 47 days because it is not safe in gaza. he decided to take them with him to the hospital, so you can imagine a 27 days, young children and a pregnant woman staying in the hospital, looking at the dead people, saying the people crying and saying the horrible scene in the

hospital, they did not have a meal, they did not have any meat, any chicken, any fish, any hot food, they were just taking cans and you could imagine they have not had as shower for 27 days. they are saying that people are using the hospital as a shelter. over 50,000 people are sheltering in the hospital. just half—an—hour ago israel has bombed is the entrance of the hospital. we did not have any communication with my brother since yesterday night. i don't know if he is still alive or if any bad news happened to him or his family. i have spoken to the british foreign ministry that my brother is inside the hospital and the hospital has been bombed. they say we can do nothing for you. i'm so surprised that the british

foreign ministry have done a lot for the british nationals in sudan, and you came, in afghanistan, they have sent aeroplanes, ships to evacuate these people, but with gaza they say we cant do anything and we will do nothing. i am surprised and i don't know what to do. this is why i hope that the british prime ministers can reply to this, what are they going to do for the people inside gaza right now?— to do for the people inside gaza riaht now? . , , ., i. right now? that is the question you want answering. _ right now? that is the question you want answering. in _ right now? that is the question you want answering. in terms _ right now? that is the question you want answering. in terms of- right now? that is the question you want answering. in terms of what l want answering. in terms of what you're describing at the hospital, we have seen reports of strikes close to the hospital rather than the hospital itself, but we are waiting for verification to find out more details. he spoke of your brother's children, two, six and eight. what is he saying to you about the impact on them of seeing all of this? the about the impact on them of seeing all of this? . , about the impact on them of seeing all of this? _,. , , about the impact on them of seeing all of this? w , , ., all of this? the impact is they are

let's return to the news breaking in the last few minutes. police saying that a 29—year—olds and a 26—year—old had been charged under the terrorism act in connection with displaying images of a paraglider. the crown prosecution has said that in the last couple of minutes following an incident at a protest in london on the 14th of october. so two people charged under the terrorism act in connection with displaying certain images. that coming from the crown prosecution service following a protest in london on the 14th of october. when we know more we will return to that. prime minister rishi sunak has asked the home secretary to do "everything necessary to protect the sanctity of armistice day and remembrance sunday". there are concerns about a pro palestinian protest planned for next weekend.

mr sunak was worried about the risk of damage to the cenotaph and other war memorials. large protests against israel's military action in gaza have already taken place in london. the palestine solidarity campaign said they will not walk anywhere near the cenotaph. let's hear what the security minister, tom tugendhat, had to say on bbc breakfast about the demonstration planned for next weekend. i know that many of my fellow veterans will be looking forward to that day, not a day ofjoy but a day of grey. it is a day when many of us remember those who are not standing with us, who are not there to lay a wreath, are out there with their friends to have a beer afterwards and talk about the old days. it is a moment to remember those who we have lost. forthe moment to remember those who we have lost. for the whole country at the cenotaph are sacred grounds and the idea that on a day like remembrance day you have a protest gone past that, i don't think that is

acceptable. that is why i wrote to the mayor of london, the council and the mayor of london, the council and the metropolitan police to look very carefully at the powers they have to consider what options they have available because personally i don't think this is an appropriate moment for a protest. the prison sentence for a man who sexually assaulted and murdered a trainee solicitor in east london has been reduced on appeal. zara aleena was killed byjordan mcsweeney as she walked home from a night out last year. jordan mcsweeney was originally sentenced to 38 years in jail. that's now been reduced at the court of appeal by five years. our home affairs correspondent daniel sandford explained the why the judges made their decision. jordan mcsweeney�*s sentences a life sentence. he was originally told he would serve 38 years in prison before being considered for parole. thejudge made that before being considered for parole. the judge made that decision saying because it was a crime of high

seriousness it would start at 30 years minimum term and then increase that by 13 years because of some particularly nasty aspects of the crime. including what she described as zara aleena suffering inordinately, then she took five years of that minimum term because he had pleaded guilty. the appeal courtjudges have decided that by adding that 13 years to the 30 the judge had perhaps gone too far, because she had already set the minimum term so high they said it was difficult to be sure that zara aleena had suffered inordinately because she had probably gone unconscious about 30 seconds into the attack. they reduced that 13 year increase down to eight, there with the five years for a guilty plea that reduces the minimum term to 33 years before he will be considered for parole. even so, he will be 63 before there is even a chance of somebody considering

whether he will be allowed to come out of prison. zara aleena's adds that she did understand the sentencing framework and understand that this is within the sentencing framework. she agreed that the appeal courtjudges had made a decision that was within the framework but said it was disappointing and the family are saying that they hope thatjordan mcsweeney will never be released, essentially meaning that they hope that the parole board when they come to any consideration that they will decide thatjordan mcsweeney is too dangerous to be allowed out of prison, he is too much of a race to the public and should remain in prison. court documents show that an australian woman who's charged with murdering three people at a family lunch is also accused of trying to kill her ex husband four times. erin patterson denies putting lethal deathcap mushrooms into a dish of beef wellington. simon atkinson reports.

a lead attacker with fair hair was never identified, but this year, a bbc investigation named matthew white, who died two years ago, as a sixth suspect and exposed the met�*s repeated failure to properly investigate him. i've now found new evidence which poses serious questions for the force. i told him to stop, then he used — i don't want to say — n word. bethel ikpeze was racially abused and almost stabbed with a dirty syringe by matthew white. the security officer prevented white from stealing from an eltham supermarket. next thing i saw was his hand up with a needle. he wasjust coming. and if he had hit you, what do you think the result would have been? he would kill me. i pulled him down, iasked him, "do you want to kill me?" he said, "yes, i will kill you." he said white then made an alarming admission. he said, "ok, can i rememberthat

they've done it in the bus stop there to a fellow like me, in the past?" that nothing happened, he's still here. i said, "ok, if you've done it before, i don't "know who you did it to." that was when the word, i remember it now, "stephen". when the police turned up here, bethel ikpeze says he told them everything. he included that matthew white had said about killing before and mentioned the name stephen. he says he never heard from the met again. white pleaded guilty to using threatening words and having a syringe in public. he wasn't charged with trying to stab his victim or with racial abuse. the crown prosecution service says the police's evidence contains no mention of racial abuse. the met says it apologises if the case wasn't investigated as it should have been. matthew white was jailed for four months. he shared a cell with this man,

who says he spoke of his link to the stephen lawrence case. what he said was that if i could see the papers about the whole case, if i ever did, that he is referred to quite a lot in the paperwork, that he was the blond—haired figure that is referred to throughout the paperwork, and that he was involved in the incident. we previously revealed matthew white looks like the unidentified suspect sometimes known as the blonde attacker. he said that yeah, that they completely mishandled it, and failed, really, to properly investigate him. the met says it's satisfied all relevant inquiries related to white were considered prior to his death. the other remaining suspects for stephen's murder remain free. his parents want fulljustice but have no confidence in the met. daniel de simone, bbc news, eltham.

the number of jellyfish has increased the number ofjellyfish has increased in british waters. a heatwave back injune salt water temperatures rise by three to four celsius. no brain, no bones, no heart and no eyes. jellyfish are amongst the most mysterious creatures on earth. there's been a big rise in the number ofjellyfish spotted over the past 12 months in uk and irish waters — an increase of almost a third on the previous year. the barreljellyfish, the uk's largest, was the most frequently cited in the marine conservation society's survey.

we might be just seeing a 20—year boom cycle for barrel jellyfish in uk waters. but, at the same time, we know that our oceans are changing. we know our seas are getting warmer, and our warmer winters are probably making our oceans much better for barreljellyfish. the lion's mane jellyfish was the second most frequently spotted. like manyjellyfish species, its sting can be painful to humans, as can that of the portuguese man o' war. it's not technically a jellyfish, but is also often spotted around our coastline and washed up on beaches. we always say look but don't touch. the increases in the number of portuguese man o' war strandings in the uk could be related to the increased frequency and intensity of these late autumn

and winter storms that we're seeing. not everyone will welcome the thought of more jellyfish around our coastline, but these fascinating creatures have become a more common sight. tim muffett, bbc news. king charles and queen camilla have left kenya after a four—day state visit. before departing the pair met with faith leaders in the coastal city of mombassa. this was the king's first visit to a commonwealth country since ascending to the throne last year and saw him express regret for the violence suffered by kenyans at the hands of british forces during the country's independence movement in the 1950s, but stopped short of issuing an official apology. let's return to the middle east and give you the latest details. let me tell you what we heard from emmanuel
