we start with the latest diplomatic efforts from the israel—gaza conflict. the us secretary of state, antony blinken has met the palestinian authority president mahmoud abbas in the occupied west bank city of ramallah for talks on the gaza conflict. the spokesman for the palestinian president has said mr abbas told mr blinken there must be an immediate ceasefire and an allowing of humanitarian aid to the gaza strip. according to us spokesperson matthew miller, the secretary reaffirmed the united states�* commitment to the delivery of life—saving humanitarian assistance and resumption of essential services in gaza and made clear that palestinians must not be forcibly displaced. secretary blinken and president abbas discussed efforts to restore calm and stability in the west bank, including the need to stop extremist violence against palestinians and hold those accountable responsible. secretary blinken reiterated

that the united states remains committed to advancing equal measures of dignity and security for palestinians and israelis alike. the secretary also expressed the commitment of the united states to working toward the realisation of the palestinians�* legitimate aspirations for the establishment of a palestinian state. inside gaza, the gaza health ministry says more than 30 people were killed in a bombardment. it was a refugee camp at maghazi, in the central gaza strip. israel said it was investigating. mohammed alaloul is a photographer for the turkish news agency, anadolu, who lost several members of his family in the attack. he spoke to reporters after identifying his family in the camp's makeshift morgue.

translation: i'm like any other i citizen, like any other citizen. l i have already taken pictures of the situation before. you saw them, children. they have no weapons, they are not fighters, they are children. today, i have lost all my children. i have only got one left. my only daughter. i wanted to have another daughter so she has a sister, i have lost her. 0ur gaza correspondent rushdi abualouf sent this update from the scene at the al—maghazi refugee camp. they are still looking under the rubble of about three or four buildings which were destroyed overnight. this is al—maghazi refugee camp. it's in the safe area where israel advised 1.2 million in gaza city and the north to flee south.

this is safer, but this destruction is in the safe area, where about 50 bodies have been recovered from this air strike. many, many others are missing. this is the biggest air strike, it is in a crowded refugee camp in the middle of the gaza strip. the people are fleeing south because the fighting is in and around gaza city and in the north where israel is part of the ground operation. five different battles are going on there. 0vernight, israel issued another warning for the people, asking them to leave gaza city and the north and to come here. that was our correspondent in gaza. we have had some breaking news in the last few minutes. his parents and laws are back in scotland and they have been reunited and they were trapped in gaza for more than three weeks. the family have been reunited after they managed to cross

into egypt on friday. elizabeth and her husband, the parents of mr use of�*s... live now to our diplomatic correspondent paul adams, who joins me from jerusalem. paul, lots to take in today. a rather eventful day. firstly, we had that meeting between antony blinken and ella titian mac. what was your interpretation of that exchange? —— president mahmoud abbas. this interpretation of that exchange? -- president mahmoud abbas. this was an attem -t to president mahmoud abbas. this was an attempt to persuade _ president mahmoud abbas. this was an attempt to persuade the _ president mahmoud abbas. this was an attempt to persuade the palestinians i attempt to persuade the palestinians that they are part of the dialogue, that they are part of the dialogue, that they are a necessary party to the ongoing discussions about the future of gaza. it is a courtesy call. it is the third time that antony blinken has met president mahmoud abbas since this crisis began. no one is under illusions about the extent to which the

palestinian authority has much influence on the offence in gaza. it really does not. this is not something the pa can influence in any significant way. what antony blinken wanted to do, to persuade him is that the us is doing everything in their power we are —— in their power to improve the humanitarian aid in gaza and to move forward the peace process. even though this is an early—stage and overshadowed by events on the ground. ithink overshadowed by events on the ground. i think this isjust overshadowed by events on the ground. i think this is just trying to tell president mahmoud abbas, you are in the loop and part of the discussion. but everyone knows that at the moment, the palestinian authority is really a bystander in this whole affair.— this whole affair. another event toda . this whole affair. another event today- we _ this whole affair. another event today. we heard _ this whole affair. another event today. we heard from _ this whole affair. another event today. we heard from the - today. we heard from the spokesperson of benjamin netanyahu. he talked about israel opening the

possibility of the so—called humanitarian pause. is that significant? it humanitarian pause. is that significant?— humanitarian pause. is that siunificant? , , significant? it will be significant when it happens. _ significant? it will be significant when it happens. not _ significant? it will be significant when it happens. notjust - significant? it will be significant when it happens. notjust whenj significant? it will be significant - when it happens. notjust when were getting vague hints about it happening. the americans are pushing very hard for such a pause. we do not quite know exactly what that would look like. i think it would only apply to the southern part of the gaza strip, it would be brief and probably limited in geographical scope mack it is all about trying to get the aid, the humanitarian relief going on a more sustainable basis in the south. there is clearly an ongoing debate about it. antony blinken told president mahmoud abbas that they were pushing for it. for some reason the israelis are not quite ready to introduce such a measure. probably because at the moment, they are focusing on a

relentless campaign against hamas. and they do not really welcome any suggestion that at any point they should be put on hold. they believe that hamas will exploit any pauses. this is something that the americans want, but it has not yet happen. qm. want, but it has not yet happen. 0k, paul want, but it has not yet happen. 0k, paul, thank— want, but it has not yet happen. 0k, paul. thank you _ want, but it has not yet happen. 0k, paul, thank you so _ want, but it has not yet happen. 0k, paul, thank you so much for that update. that was paul adams in jerusalem. the ministry of health in gaza says the number of palestinans killed in the israeli bombing of gaza has risen to 9,770, including 4,800 children. next, let's get this report from mark lowen. gaza is staring into the abyss. buildings now shells, life hollowed out. this was a refugee camp. the term seems a paradox when no place is safe. palestinians say dozens were killed in an israeli strike. israel says it's looking

into whether its forces were here. translation: we were sleeping peacefully when the bombs hit all night, have been removing bodies, martyred children. we were pulling people out with our bare hands. localjournalist mohammed al aloul is no longer chronicling the grief of others, but enduring it himself. his family killed in the strike. the emotion too much to bear. translation: today, i've lost my children. i only have one left. my only daughter. i wanted her to have a sister, but i've lost her. i don't know what else to say. israel pushing on with its offensive, insists it targets hamas cells, often hidden, it says, among civilians. explosion. its troops are advancing on gaza city.

closing in on what they believe are hamas command centres. they're urging gazans left in the north to move south, dropping leaflets with warnings and opening a key road to evacuate. the un says one and a half million gazans are now displaced with the need for aid acute. the civilian plight is top of the diplomatic agenda, as the us secretary of state landed in the west bank, the other palestinian territory ruled by hamas opponent. he's resisting arab calls for a ceasefire, arguing hamas could regroup but is pushing israel for short term pauses in the fighting. but as it grinds on, the injured keep coming. the hospitals that haven't closed overwhelmed. each scene, a microcosm of gaza's nightmare, repeated over and over. mark lowen, bbc news, jerusalem. as we've been discussing — the us secretary of state, antony blinken, is now en route to turkey where he'll continue his diplomatic tour of the region. there will be a number of topics

on the table while he is there. earlier we spoke to berza simsek, from the bbc turkish servce for some insight into what will be on the agenda. she was speaking to our chief international correspondent lyse doucet. one of the topics will be the israeli hostages held by hamas. and although qatar and egypt are seen as the main countries that might be, you know, providing their release, turkey's also seen that might be playing a part, just because of turkey's good relationship with the political wing of hamas. and on the other hand, turkey will be pressuring for more aid for gazans, for civilians in gaza. and also, they will be calling for a ceasefire, rather than a humanitarian pause. and the other thing that turkey was offering was a guarantorship system for both israelis and palestinians when

the peace is agreed. and turkey which, at the start of this war, condemned the attacks by hamas because before this happened, turkey and israel, as you know, had been trying to improve relations, but we have seen a lot more criticism from president erdogan of israeli positions and, in particular, of prime minister netanyahu. that's correct. turkey's president erdogan said that on friday, basically, turkey will be no longer talking to netanyahu, but that doesn't mean that turkey has smeared its relationship with israel. erdogan also said that turkey's intelligence head is in talks with his counterparts and also, you know, erdogan said that they can't stop all diplomatic relationships. it doesn't happen in the international arena. that's what he said.

so on one hand, we understand that turkey is, or erdogan is no longer in desire of talking to netanyahu, but turkey will be talking to, keeping the channel of diplomacy through other means — with intelligence, with foreign ministry. the world food programme has told the bbc that the humanitarian situation in gaza is nothing less than catastrophic. its executive director, cindy mccain, spoke to us earlier from egypt. it's catastrophic inside gaza. we cannot get the kind of amount of food in as we would like to have so that we can feed more people. so far, we've reached 660,000 people, in that range, and we'd like to be able to hit more than 1.2 million. it's a disaster and people are starving to death. and it's very important that we are given the opportunity and the access to go in and take food in and do it in a safe and regular manner.

and we've seen the us secretary of state, antony blinken, on a visit in the region, first to israel and then on tojordan, again, speaking to leaders in the region to try and get humanitarian assistance into gaza. he says he has assurances from israel that this is going to happen. can you see that movement on the ground now? well, i'm, as you know, on the egyptian side right now, and i have seen from the egyptian government, i have seen those kind of movements, yes. there are more trucks going in. we anticipate getting 1a of our trucks in today. and we got we got close to ten in yesterday. the numbers are gradually increasing, but we'd like this to notjust increase but increased exponentially so we can get the kind of food in that we need to do. right now, people don't have anything. and the kinds of things we send in are emergency rations that can get them through a couple of weeks until we can do more

sustainable feeding. it is desperate. it's dire in there, and we really do need to get our trucks in. so i'm hoping down the road here that we can find some solution so that we can get our trucks in. right now, we're working with the egyptian red crescent, and we hope to do more of that, including putting in a logistics hub in our reach. but those things are not in place yet, but we're very hopeful that very soon we can do that. you know, the scale of human suffering is something that's very hard to believe, and that is why the humanitarian community really does need to get in there and get in there quickly. nothing can ever prepare you for what you see in situations like this. and this is not my first time seeing things like this, but it doesn't make it does make any difference. we need to get in with the humanitarian community, needs to get things in. we need to get our trucks in. these people are starving to death and they're desperate. and the longer we wait, they the less ability we're going to have to control what goes

on inside. that was cindy mccain speaking to my colleague. fuel deficit remains one of the major obstacles slowing down the humanitarian effort into gaza. my colleagues lyse deucet have spoken to tommaso della longa in geneva, the spokesperson for the international federation of red cross and red crescent societies. progress has been made. enough progress? i don't think so. the reality is that humanitarian needs inside the gaza strip are so enormous that till now, i think less than 500 trucks entered in the in the in the gaza strip. and this is not the the right answer. and, again, we need to not underestimate all the progress made and also the fact that the rafah border is still open and some humanitarian aid is trickling in. but we need a different scale of aid and also a safe humanitarian space where to operate inside gaza strip.

how difficult and indeed dangerous has it been for your own aid workers to operate even in the south, which israel has said is this is a place of refuge for gazans? extremely dangerous indeed. i mean, we have been repeating this since the beginning of these of these hostilities, the call on all the parties on respecting and protecting aid workers and, of course, civilians. what we what we are here for, what we're reading from the palestine press and colleagues, it's a very challenging situation even. i mean, i was looking at it on social media platform a few minutes before this interview, and they were saying that heavy shelling around the al-quds hospital in gaza city is hindering the entrance or going out with ambulances from the hospital. and also, we saw images of icu unit damaged by shelling nearby the hospital. well, we can call them collateral damages, but still for the people

who are in the intensive care unit of the people are panicking inside the hospital, are not collateral damage, but there are very difficult daily life. there have been comments from us officials, some of them denied by israel, but there have been comments saying that they are working on a mechanism for fuel to get into the south and that when the hospitals do run out of fuel and they've been warning about that for some time, that there will be fuel will be allowed to enter. what are you hearing? well, sincerely speaking, i didn't hear anything about that. i do hope that we'll find a way to get fuel inside gaza for hospital, but also for other lifesaving activities like this anticipation of water or water sanitation. reality is that till now, what i can say is that the different health care facilities already closed because they lack fuel and medicine and others are really risking the same. so here the goal is to get fuel as soon as possible inside the gaza strip, because fuel at the moment

is really a life saving item. that was the spokesperson of the international red cross speaking to my colleague. speaking to my colleague. in his weekly address in st peter's square, pope francis repeated his call for a ceasefire in gaza and urged all international players to find a solution to the conflict. translation: please stop in the name of god. i translation: please stop in the name of god- i urge — translation: please stop in the name of god. i urge that _ translation: please stop in the name of god. i urge that all _ translation: please stop in the name of god. i urge that all avenues - translation: please stop in the name of god. i urge that all avenues will - of god. i urge that all avenues will be used to absolutely prevent a broadening of the conflict to assess the wounded and to make aid reach people in gaza with the humanitarian situation is very serious. let the hostages be released. among them, there are many children. may they go back to theirfamilies.

the exit via the rafah crossing has been stalled due to the evacuating of injured patients. hundreds of foreign nationals and injured patients have left in the past few days via that crossing. we are seeing images here of people successfully doing that and reaching the crossing. 0n successfully doing that and reaching the crossing. on saturday, palestinian sources said nobody was let through. yesterday the uk foreign officers —— the foreign office confirmed that they have been 0ffice confirmed that they have been unable to get anyone out yesterday. 0ur bbc correspondent is in cairo and has been following the latest. 0ur expectation is that 20 injured people might come to egypt today. they might be joined with the foreign passport holders. i

contacted the other side just now, the other side of the border and i have got reports from there that so far until this moment, there has been no significant change at the gate from the palestinian side. it is still not open for any foreign nationals or having to —— or have not received any injured. so far, the reason, according to a source on the reason, according to a source on the palestinian side, is that they are fearful that israel is still targeting the ambulances and therefore they are afraid that they are not able to move. but they say they are still in the middle of the day and there are still long hours and things might change on the ground. therefore we are still staying for any confirmation from the palestinian side or any other familiar sources on will more

injured and foreign passport holders be able to pass into egypt today. this is what we are waiting for. that was my colleague in cairo. referring to our live page now with more information on the reunited family in scotland. are scottish first minister reuniting with his in—laws. his wife's parents who were trapped in gaza for about four weeks and they cross into egypt. they managed to get to the rafah crossing and cross into egypt and travelled to the uk and has been reunited with their family to the uk and has been reunited with theirfamily in to the uk and has been reunited with their family in scotland. they posted a photo on social media. they confirmed that the family of scotland's first minister has arrived home after being trapped in gaza for more than three weeks. the israeli government can consider allowing fuel supplies to gaza only following that the few will not be

used by hamas. it told the bbc that the senior adviser to the prime minister netanyahu spoke to my colleague about this. we minister netanyahu spoke to my colleague about this.— minister netanyahu spoke to my colleague about this. we have agreed to a limited access _ colleague about this. we have agreed to a limited access for _ colleague about this. we have agreed to a limited access for food, - to a limited access for food, medicine and water into the gaza strip. no restrictions whatsoever. the issue of fuel was raised and thatis the issue of fuel was raised and that is much more sensitive because fuel can power a hospital generator which is a good thing, but it could also power hamas' military machine specifically it empowers their ability to shoot rockets into israel and as you know they continued to do that. fuel can also allow the underground network of fortifications. the tunnels, the places where they store their equipment, theirfortresses, they are all subterranean. with the fuel —— without fuel there is no oxygen there, there is no light there. it

has been reported that hamas has stockpiled fuel for its own military machine. and we say the following, aid that is given to the people of gaza must be given to the people of gaza. but the only people in gaza with guns who can take whatever they want is hamas. and rightly, if people want to talk to us about fuel, they have to explain to us how that few will be prevented from getting to hamas.— that few will be prevented from getting to hamas. there is more on our bbc news _ getting to hamas. there is more on our bbc news page. _ getting to hamas. there is more on our bbc news page. stay _ getting to hamas. there is more on our bbc news page. stay more -- i getting to hamas. there is more on i our bbc news page. stay more -- stay our bbc news page. stay more —— stay with us for more bbc news. hello there. a little while ago, there were still over 30 flood warnings in england, mainly focused on the far south through the week ahead it doesn't look as wet as it has been. it's not really looking stormy either. it's going to be a case for the most part, the week ahead of sunshine and showers. and that's what we've seen today. and if you are heading out to see the fireworks this evening, the showers will mainly still be

across western areas. it will be turning chilly, though, underneath those clearer skies. there's the showers that we've got as we head into this evening. one or two heavy ones. 0vernight some of them will drift their way into eastern parts of england. we could see some heavy showers clipping kent and sussex where we've got those flood warnings. clearer skies, though, in scotland, temperatures could be just dipping below freezing in aberdeenshire. and here we saw the northern lights last night. we've got a good chance of seeing them tonight in northern scotland with clearer skies than we had last night. and we could start quite sunny across eastern scotland, many eastern parts of england in the morning. and most of these areas will stay dry as well. we've got those showers out towards the west. they will get blown further inland through the midlands and onto the pennines in the afternoon. temperatures similar to what we had today. so around about 11 to 13 degrees. we've still got low pressure bringing in the showers at the moment. that low pressure there, what's left of old storm ciaran from a few days ago. much, much weaker now, of course, and continuing to just fade away. the winds easing down through the day, the showers that

will see moving into england and wales tending to fade away as well during the afternoon, leaving quite a bit of sunshine around. and those temperatures, 11, 12 degrees are near normal really for this time of the year. turns chilly during the evening before we see this rain and cloud coming in from the atlantic in time for wednesday, it will be accompanied by some stronger winds, particularly through the irish sea and the heaviest of the rain likely to be in western scotland and northwest england. about an inch of rain or so. good news is it does move through fairly quickly and there shouldn't be as much rain in the south east of england. and then following that rain, we're going to find some sunshine and a few showers coming into the west, mainly for northern ireland and over the irish sea. temperatures could be a little bit lower in scotland, only eight or nine degrees because of that rain. there's also some cooler air coming our way. that low pressure will get a bit closer on thursday, bringing in the cooler air. and in that cooler air, there could be some heavy showers with some hail.
