but we are not showing the worst of it. you can see damage thereto an ambulance outside the al shifa hospital, one of the main hospitals in gaza. the hamas... the hamas run health ministry says it was air strike by israel. idf confirms that there was a strike on an ambulance. they say it was being used by hamas and they say a number of hamas operatives were killed. the leader of hezbollah, prescribed terror group by many countries, praised the attacks by hamas on the 7th of october. in response, israel said it is on high alert there at its northern border.

the former ambassador for lebanon tracy chamoun gave me her reaction to nasrallah's speech. well, i think it was pretty much what every lebanese expected to hearfrom him. we didn't expect at all to hear a declaration of war. they've been engaged in fighting since the beginning. but i think that there's a reluctance to escalate. and that's because really, lebanon cannot withstand any war at this stage. the country is devastated. the government has tried to put together an emergency plan. we don't have any funding even to do that. and our health care system is completely collapsed. so it's going to be a disaster if the war escalates and reaches lebanon. and i think everybody is conscious of that. even hezbollah, despite their bravado. and just remind us, what's the relationship between the state of lebanon and hezbollah? well, it's an ambiguous relationship because, on one hand you have the military operation of hezbollah, which is run

by iran pretty much. and then you have the political arm of hezbollah and they're members of parliament, and they share in the power process, you know, in the institutions in lebanon. so it's kind of a strange schizophrenic relationship. and what's your understanding, we have the the conflict on the border between israeli forces and hezbollah right now, israel's northern border. is it your belief, expectation that that will be contained and that it won't escalate? it can go both ways. right now, there's a 50—50 chance, and hezbollah has exercised quite a bit of rigour in terms of like keeping to the rules of engagement, firing at military targets about five to ten kilometers inland. but it could change overnight. it depends on several factors. one is the escalation of the gaza incursions. and then the other thing is also whether israel wants to escalate

with hezbollah and take on hezbollah at the same time as taking on hamas. and if there are a lot of civilian casualties in lebanon, there have been some and the use of phosphorous bombs and things like that, that will also could also accelerate the situation. but i can tell you that the lebanese do not want war. the majority of the population does not want war. we are victims of our geography and of this decades long struggle between the palestinians and the israelis. and hezbollah knows knows this. and i don't think that they're going to escalate very rapidly. and given clearly your priority is lebanon and the people in lebanon who you just said don't want a war, if it does escalate in that direction, though, does that mean people rally round and it increases the support for hezbollah or it does the opposite? i don't think this time it will.

in 2006 it did. but i think this time people really don't want war because they understand the gravity of the situation. and this is not a battle that we are ready to fight. i think most of the people are quite terrified. a lot of them have left. those who can't leave are just kind of walking around in a in a dazed state, unable to understand really what's going to happen to them next. we've suffered terrible ordeals lately, what with the explosion of the port and everything else. so this just adds to the terror and the trauma of the lebanese people. and we're certainly not equipped to deal with the war. we will go to gas and specifically theissue we will go to gas and specifically the issue of drones flying over gaza. we have had a line from the

pentagon talking about these drones. they say in support of hostage recovery efforts, the us is conducting unarmed uav flights, that is on crude aerial vehicles, commonly known as —— known as drones come over gaza to provide advice and assistance to support our israeli partner as they work on their hostage recovery efforts. these flights began after the october the 7th attacked by hamas on israel. so confirmation that in support of hostage recovery efforts, the us is conducting unarmed drone flights over gaza. conducting unarmed drone flights over gaza. the situation for those inside gaza remains dire. based injerusalem, has been working with journalists filming for the bbc inside gaza.. to report the impact of the war on civilians there.

a warning his piece contains distressing images from the start. sometimes, a face can tell all there is to know. of war, in the lives of the young. the brothers came to al—aqsa hospital in central gaza after a bomb hit their home. further north, in beit lahiya, another hospital. more of war�*s wounded.

a crowded floor. who can be saved, who is beyond help? the process of checks that's become all too familiar. this woman's life, fading fast. and then gone. there are stories of miraculous escape, told to our bbc cameraman. of five—year—old, tuleen abu alros, at al—nusrat hospital, pulled from the rubble of her bombed out home. she's physically recovering, but she is unlikely to forget. "with injured children, the psychological trauma stays with them for years," says dr al—hams. "and the children who witness or watch what's going on have ptsd for months."

there are now more than 1.5 million displaced in gaza. creating, says the un, a vast humanitarian crisis. here, at gaza beach, they collect salt water for washing. the children, as children do, find comfort in each other. because, when they leave here, there is only the war. fergal keane, bbc news, jerusalem. dozens of foreign nationals left gaza today through the rafa crossing into egypt. progress at the border has been slow and chaotic, but emilee rauschenburger made it out. emilee is american and was in gaza with her british husband and five

children visiting family when the war broke out. they were trapped until yesterday and are now in cairo. she told me her story. i got out my five children and my husband. originally, all of us were on the british list to leave and on the american list. but the american list came on thursday. but only only myself and my kids who are dual american british citizens were on it. so initially it looked like we were going to have to leave my husband behind and wait for him in another tranche, another day to evacuate. so it was it was very heartbreaking. and we were very worried about how to get through and how to get ourselves beyond the border once you got to sinai.

justjust give us an idea of what life is like in gaza strip. what were you living through. a horror movie from the bombing and the drones at night to the the the seeking out food and water during the day to thejust, you know, the hearing about family members who have been caught in the in the bombings. we have a close cousin who was injured. the bomb bomb hit next to the place they were sheltering with his three kids. we know extended family members who have lost a whole family of parents and kids in khan younis. and of course, we hear that there's just horror stories out of the north. but it's very hard to get information in gaza. those phones have been off and on, like the actual mobile phone system works partially in the last week. and when this carnage would end, it's you know, you're very stressed inside that, you know, nowhere is safe. i mean, there's there's been rockets

that are in the apartment complex that we were staying at. and and i know most of the fighting at this point is around gaza city. but the last night i was there, i was up all night and i listened to the bombing and it was every five to ten seconds i heard a boom in the distance. in one minute, i counted like 17 booms in the distance. and it'sjust, you know, it's very it's very bleak picture inside gaza. and each day it's getting so much harder again, as water runs out, as fuel as cooking gas is all running out. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. bbc news, bringing you different stories from across the uk. this is dawn, named to mark a new era of uk technology. it's the country's fastest ai supercomputer, and it's housed in a high security data centre at the university of cambridge. you can barely hear yourself thinking here. this is 95 decibels of noise. you have to wear earplugs for safety.

but that's the sound of the system which cools this computer. we have 7,000 processors in here performing 19 million million calculations per second. now, that generates a lot of heat. this place is air and water, food for energy efficiency. but why do we need it? without the ai capability, science is held back. look at cancer research. cancer has been driven by genomics, huge amounts of data. we just can't process it. with machines like this, researchers can process 100 times more data. so one of the biggest challenges facing us right now is climate change and we're been struggling in the uk to try to come up with the computing capacity we need to tackle this challenge. you're live with bbc news. the former cryptocurrency tycoon sam bankman fried is facing decades in prison after being found guilty of fraud and money laundering. our new york business correspondent

erin delmore reports. from a $30 million caribbean penthouse to a federal prison. sam bankman—fried's fall has been as swift as his rise. until last year, he was the most prominent mogul of the crypto world. he ran the world's second largest crypto exchange. as cryptocurrencies like bitcoin soared in value, so did his personalfortune, which at one point totalled $26 billion. but as their values slumped and financial markets shifted, his companies collapsed, leading to bankruptcy, arrest and extradition. now a jury in new york has found him guilty of seven counts of fraud and money laundering. prosecutors convinced them the crypto king was, in fact, a crook. the cryptocurrency industry might be new. the players, like sam bankman—fried, might be new. but this kind of fraud, this kind of corruption is as old as time, and we have no patience for it. while bankman—fried was using his great wealth to buy and trade

to political and celebrity elites, he was in fact stealing customer funds to shore up his other company, an investment fund. prosecutors used the testimony of his friends and ex—girlfriend to convince this court that bankman—fried directed a huge scheme to defraud customers, investors and lenders. he heads to prison still proclaiming his innocence. we are very disappointed in the result. my client, mr bankman—fried, maintains his innocence, and we are going to continue to vigorously fight the charges against him. but this case took two weeks shorter than expected to try, and jurors reached a verdict in a highly complex case with stunning speed. the man who was once the poster child for the brave lucrative new world of crypto is now one of america's most notorious financial criminals. erin delmore, bbc news, new york.

earlier i spoke with kate baucherel, cryptocurrency expert and author of several bookings, including blockchain hurricane. i think that the verdict today is actually very positive because it shows very clearly that this was a this was a case of fraud and money laundering. the fact that they were tempting people to invest their crypto assets, their cryptocurrencies for returns that were too good to be true in a business that the fca, the financial conduct authority, had already warned against a year before it collapsed is not you know, it's it's been a stain for the last year. and we're so glad that the right verdict has been reached. interesting. what do you make of the fact that there he was in washington and all those world leaders and celebrities, what does that say about due diligence or aboutjust what was going on? there's been a huge failure of due diligence, of corporate governance or of any real oversight from investors, from investees people taking money. and there's a some sort of credulous

aspect sometimes to the the young the sort of, forbes 30, under 30. and there is there is a there is hype around cryptocurrency. you can't deny it that will have seduced people into thinking that he was something special and he wasn't. and will that hype return, do you think, now or not? i hope that we're starting to go beyond the hype and understand that we've got a really useful technology and some really interesting financial instruments, and that we're becoming educated on exactly what we can do with crypto. we will see peaks and troughs of hype, but i think the more people understand about it, the better we're going to be. king charles and queen camilla

have left kenya after a four—day state visit. before departing, the pair met 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 he stopped short of offering an official apology. the wrongdoings of the past are a cause of the greatest sorrow and the deepest regrets. there were apparent and unjustifiable acts of violence committed against kenyans and for that there can be no excuse. live now to nairobi where i'm joined by our deputy africa editor, anne soy. what has the reaction bring to to visit? it

what has the reaction bring to to visit? ., , , what has the reaction bring to to visit? . , , , visit? it has been mixed. many speakers. _ visit? it has been mixed. many speakers, including _ visit? it has been mixed. many speakers, including survivors l visit? it has been mixed. many| speakers, including survivors of visit? it has been mixed. many - speakers, including survivors of the atrocity, welcomed that acknowledgement. it is the first time that a reigning monarch publicly acknowledged that atrocities were committed and the kind of language that are used, very strong language, expressing deep sorrow and regret, saying that those acts were apparent and unjustifiable. however, they had hoped they would hear the king actually amounts an apology and they hope to continue to push for that apology from the monarchy or the british government because it is not something entirely up to the king to do this, he can only apologise on the advice of government ministers. thank you so much for that. i'm going to take your life to the skyline of cancer. the blackness in the evening. we have learnt a little bit more about what is happening in

the skies there are over gaza. confirmation from the us defence department that in support of hostage recovery efforts the us is conducting unarmed uav flights over gaza, more commonly known as drone flights. we are doing this to support our israeli partner as they work in their hostage recovery efforts. these uav flights began after the 7th of october attacks by hamas on israel. so confirmation that the us is flying drones over gaza. this is bbc news. here in the uk, dozens of flood warnings remain in place after a storm battered the south coast of england and the channel islands. the storm knocked out power to thousands

of homes, closed schools and damage property. those who found themselves in the eye of this storm are convinced it was a tornado that whipped off the sea, and ripped the through these homes. raising roofs, smashing windows and terrifying residents. the enormous clear up job is only reallyjust beginning. it come through the window and into the cupboard door. that hit that? yes, straight through. and some are onlyjust realising what they lived through. the water's starting to leak through the bedrooms, so we're prepared for the ceilings to come down in next couple of days. and, yeah, we don't really have a plan at the moment. you are going to need a new house. everyone's going to need a new house. this is a top floor flat, torn up by 100mph winds, carrying huge destructive hailstones.

some of the debris is hard to conceive, and difficult to move. kind of passed just outside the front door, and all of a sudden all the windows got ripped open, and it was like a snow globe, leaves and sand. certainly weird. frightening? yes, definitely. whatever it was, it wasn't nice. this really intense damage is along quite a short narrow strip of the island, but across jersey, more than 140 people are now out of their homes. this island community's working hard, but there is still a lot to do here. more bad weather is forecast over the next few days, but it is not expected to do this sort of damage — they hope — never again. dan johnson, bbc news, jersey. there has been a 30% rise in jellyfish sightings around the uk over the last year and tim muffett has been trying to find out why.

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. 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. ijust want i just want to bring you ijust want to bring you right up to date with the two bits of developing news over the last hour. i want to show you these pictures of gaza of an ambulance being hit. they are distressing but we are not showing the most distressing part. the hamas run health ministry said several people have been killed and that israel carried out the strike. we heard from the israeli military said one of its aircraft hit an ambulance identified as being used by a hamas

unit and a number of hamas military operatives were killed. we are keeping our eye on that particular incident and trying to dig for details. the second bit of developing news as we show you the live pictures over gaza, the black and skyline there. we learnt a little bit more about what has been happening in those dark skies. the us confirming that it is flying uav, or drone, missions in the search for hostages. plenty more coverage to come. stay with us. this is bbc news. hello there. good evening. it's been a much quieter day of weather today following storm ciaran yesterday. we've seen some sunny spells around. still plenty of showers too, falling on saturated ground in many cases, but the number of flood warnings reducing throughout the day. as of friday, the center of that

deep area of low pressure associated with the storm is still in the north sea, but our second deep low is approaching from the south—west here. this has been named storm domingos by the spanish met service. for us across the uk it won't be as bad as storm ciaran, as bad as storm ciaran, but still wet and windy and turning ever more snow across the south—west of england and western wales. by the time we get to the end of the night there will be some heavy, persistent rain here. further north across scotland and northern ireland, lighter winds. there will be some mist and fog developing into tomorrow morning. slow to lift and clear. a chilly start to the day away from this low to the south and the west, which is dragging with it some milderfeeling air. that's set to move further northwards and eastwards through the day on saturday. a tight squeeze in the isobars, towards the southern flank, so again some gales expected across the channel islands. gusts towards channel coasts of around a0 to 45mph. that heavy rain is pushing further northwards through the afternoon. the band of rain is weakening, but there will be some heavy, thundery showers following on behind, particularly for southern coastal counties where, again, the ground is

saturated for many. further north, across northern ireland, northern england and much of scotland away from the east, it should be largely dry. again, for eastern scotland the ground saturated here and there will be some more showers. once more that deep area of low pressure moves away into the north sea as we head through saturday night and into sunday. we draw in a more of a north—westerly wind, so the focus of the showers will change out towards the western isles, north—west scotland, western parts of northern ireland, western wales and the south—west of england. still quite blustery through the channel. further east it does look largely dry, but there could be quite a bit of cloud here, again with that low pressure close by. temperatures once more around about the average for the time of year. of course, there will be lots of bonfire night celebrations happening over the weekend, particularly on sunday, which is looking dry again, especially in the east. some showers in the west and there will be some long spells around in those and it will feel rather chilly. but the ground is soggy. it's pretty saturated in places, so very wet underfoot. it will stay quite changeable as we head through next week. here's the outlook for our capital cities. temperatures more or less

the seasonal average. bye— bye.

hello, i'm lucy grey. you're watching the context on bbc news. translation:, we will not bow to the pressures of the americans or the

zionists, the killing, mass killing of those people. we are absolutely focused on getting hostages back, and getting them back to their families in safety, and we believe that among other things, a humanitarian pause could help that effort. it's a huge relief to be out. i mean. — it's a huge relief to be out. i mean. my— it's a huge relief to be out. i mean, my kids _ it's a huge relief to be out. i mean, my kids were - it's a huge relief to be out. i mean, my kids were so, - it's a huge relief to be out. i mean, my kids were so, sol it's a huge relief to be out. i- mean, my kids were so, so much happier— mean, my kids were so, so much happier to — mean, my kids were so, so much happier to have _ mean, my kids were so, so much happier to have a _ mean, my kids were so, so much happier to have a meal, - mean, my kids were so, so much happier to have a meal, a - mean, my kids were so, so much happier to have a meal, a hot - happier to have a meal, a hot shower. — happier to have a meal, a hot shower. and _ happier to have a meal, a hot shower, and a _ happier to have a meal, a hot shower, and a good _ happier to have a meal, a hot shower, and a good sleep. i happier to have a meal, a hot. shower, and a good sleep. you happier to have a meal, a hot shower, and a good sleep. you can't kill an idea, — shower, and a good sleep. you can't kill an idea, hamas _ shower, and a good sleep. you can't kill an idea, hamas is _ shower, and a good sleep. you can't kill an idea, hamas is an _ shower, and a good sleep. you can't kill an idea, hamas is an idea - kill an idea, hamas is an idea as much as it is a movement, with the palestinian people need is something new, something to give them hope.
