hello. we begin here in london where a pro—palestinian march is under way. where a pro—palestinian these are pictures of the march, which began a couple of hours ago at hyde park and is heading towards the us embassy. the metropolitan police says there has been a very large turnout and they have a significant ongoing police operation. but there have been no incidents related to this match so far. it's deployed nearly 2,000 officers across central london. it comes on the same day as armistice day commemorations. we know two arrests have been made. earlier group tried to push through to get to the cenotaph and threw objects at officers. police say the two minutes�* silence

was marked respectfully and without incident on whitehall. we are creeping across that much and will keep you updated on any developments. —— we are keeping a cross that march. the prosests in london come as the director of the al—shifa hospital in gaza city says patients, especially those in intensive care, have started to die. the hospital was forced to suspend operations because it's run out of fuel. doctors say one baby has died at the hospital — and more than 30 more are at risk — as electricity has been cut amid a major israeli offensive. there have been reports of intensified fighting close to a number of hospitals in the territory overnight. the bbc has heard from a doctor at al—shifa, who says its intensive care unit had been hit. according to the world health organization, there are currently 130 babies on incubators in gaza. 45 of them are believed to be at the al—shifa hospital. the gaza health ministry say 39 of them are now at serious risk of death, given the lack of fuel and power. israel's military has been closing

in on northern gaza. these purple areas show the approximate location of soldiers, as fighting ramps up in gaza city. the international charity msf says unless there's a ceasefire, al—shifa and other hospitals will turn into graveyards. israel has repeatedly accused hamas of using al—shifa to conceal an underground command centre but hospital staff have denied this. nick beake reports. israel's latest attack on gaza overnight, an unrelenting barrage, like most nights over the last few weeks. israeli forces have now surrounded gaza city's major hospitals, some palestinians waving white flags, desperate to reach safety. israel claims hamas have built a control centre under gaza's biggest hospital, making it a legitimate military target. inside the wards of the al—shifa hospital, chaos.

patients fill the beds, and the floors. many cannot be saved. 0ne surgeon told the bbc this morning it was becoming impossible to operate. translation: you hear- the bombardment everywhere, every second around the al—shifa hospital, and no one can get out from the al—shifa hospital. no one can come to the al—shifa hospital. the situation is very, very dangerous. there is no water, even in the main building, no electricity, no food even, and no fuel. the israeli defence forces released this footage of what it said were its latest assaults on hamas positions. israel maintains it's doing all it can to avoid civilian casualties. translation: hundreds of thousands of gaza's residents have _ already moved south, and hamas is doing everything in its power to prevent them from doing so. hamas uses civilians as human shields. it is ready to endanger the lives of children of gaza to protect itself.

it has no limits. hamas, isis, hides in hospitals. it hides in humanitarian facilities. it hides in schools. it does all these actions that are a war crime and against international law. israel says over the past few days, more than 150,000 palestinians have followed its order to leave northern gaza. but many families cannotjoin the evacuation and remain trapped on the front line. nick beake, bbc news, jerusalem. earlier we got the latest from our correspondent in gaza, rushdi aboualouf. in khan younis today, more than 2000, 3000 people have already fled from the north and they arrived here in khan younis. people are still going, moving, evacuating the gaza city in the north and coming to khan younis. very few of them, two or three people, they were coming from al—shifa hospital. they said the situation remained very tense around the hospital,

with the tanks getting closer and closer to the gate of the hospital and the access in and out of the hospital is almost impossible. now, very few people, like, five or six people, they managed to escape under fire from the hospital this morning. but they told me about 10,000 people remain in the courtyard of the hospital. no electricity there. most of the operations are suspended, including the intensive care unit in the hospital. communication with those who are in the hospital are extremely difficult. i managed to call a journalist who may be the last one who was there and he said he is unable to do any sending any picture or talking to anybody in the hospital but he described what is going on around the hospital as a real war. we have to understand that this is notjust the hospital. this is the biggest medical centre, like the biggest kidney dialysis department is in this hospital. the biggest surgery is in this hospital. this is notjust a symbol, this is very complicated. the story with those thousands

of people are still trapped civilians inside the hospital. last thing i want to say about al—shifa hospital is that today, about 100 dead bodies were buried in the car park of the hospital because they said they were unable to move them to the cemetery and they have no space in the morgue. they have to bury about 100 people. they say they were killed from an air strike on a school yesterday, nearby, shot a refugee camp close to the hospital so they were buried in a mass grave in the car park of the hospital. joining me live is our diplomatic correspondent paul adams who's injerusalem. it is not just it is notjust al—shifa hospital, three other major hospitals in the gaza strip are now also on the front of israel's ground invasion. what is it the idf say they are doing there? the idf argues, and we have heard this a lot, that hamas are using

these facilities as cover for their activities. this morning, there was activities. this morning, there was a briefing about another hospital which is further into the city than al—shifa hospital, which is a bit closer to the coast, and they're essentially the israeli military has forced the almost complete evacuation of that hospital in the last few days. i was told just now that about 18 to 20 patients and a handful of staff remained there. what the israeli military did was after days and days of trying to persuade people to leave, they basically moved so close that the people inside probably felt that it was wiser to leave than to stay. the scenes that you briefly saw in nick's package people leaving a gate and running back in, that the israelis say was because people did start to leave waving white flags, following israeli instructions and

then gunfire rang out and they say that was hamas gunfire trying to force people to stay inside. that's narrative the israelis are presenting is one where people are huddled in these hospitals and are now being compelled in some cases by hamas to stay there as human shields for the hamas people who are inside. it is a much smaller hospital than al—shifa hospital but it is exactly what the israelis want to do with all these hospitals and i think they will continue to keep up the military pressure on al—shifa hospital because that is the real prize for them, that is where they say hamas had a command and control centre where their bank is below, hamas had a significant presence, so at the moment they will try and persuade those people in the courtyard to leave, they will make life as difficult as they possibly can, we saw that night time bombardment nearby only hope that people ultimately decide it is much

better to go than stay. fin people ultimately decide it is much better to go than stay.— better to go than stay. on that, is there a tactical _ better to go than stay. on that, is there a tactical pause _ better to go than stay. on that, is there a tactical pause in _ better to go than stay. on that, is there a tactical pause in the - there a tactical pause in the fighting at the moment to allow people to leave through this main road? , , ., , , ., road? yes, the israelis say they are continuin: road? yes, the israelis say they are continuing to _ road? yes, the israelis say they are continuing to do _ road? yes, the israelis say they are continuing to do that _ road? yes, the israelis say they are continuing to do that and _ road? yes, the israelis say they are continuing to do that and today - road? yes, the israelis say they are | continuing to do that and today they talked about a pause that would allow people injabalia, north of gaza city, a short distance to move south, so that would involve, as far as i can make out, some kind of route through gaza city to the main road going south towards the southern gaza strip. i don't know exactly how it works, where that route is. clearly it is a very volatile situation. we hear amid all the sounds of bombardment, you also hit gun battles going on, so take keep those routes open must be quite challenging, but the overriding principle here is the israelis want a city devoid of civilians so they can concentrate their efforts on destroying hamas. there are still a

lot of civilians left, the israelis say as many as 150, 170,000 may have left the last few days and that is certainly a big reduction on the number who were there at the start of the week, but it is still a lot of the week, but it is still a lot of civilians in the various parts of the city. figs of civilians in the various parts of the ci . �* , ., , of civilians in the various parts of theci .n ., , ,, the city. as we have been speaking, i have 'ust the city. as we have been speaking, i have just seen _ the city. as we have been speaking, i have just seen a _ the city. as we have been speaking, i have just seen a tweet _ the city. as we have been speaking, i have just seen a tweet from - the city. as we have been speaking, i have just seen a tweet from the i i have just seen a tweet from the palestinian red cross, red crescent, saying israeli tanks are now 20 metres away from a hospital... that has just come in from the palestinian red cross. as you are in jerusalem, can you give us a sense of how what is happening in gaza is being covered by the israeli media, what israelis are saying they're about what is happening in gaza? i think overwhelmingly israelis still supports what their army is doing. they are still in a state of shock over what happens more than a month

ago in those communities bordering the gaza strip when hamas fighters broke out and those massacres were committed and most israelis believe that the only way to avoid that happening again is to go and destroy hamas. they are pretty much behind the military, support for the military and some of the recent polling has been extremely high. that is not the same as saying they support their government and the prime minister, both of those remain pretty unpopular, but i think israelis feel this is a job that has to be done. they are less perhaps concerned that the international community about the human cost because they think that this is something that simply has to be done regardless of how destructive the processes. regardless of how destructive the rocesses. . ~' regardless of how destructive the rocesses. ., ~ , ., arab and muslim leaders are gathered in saudi arabia to discuss the israel—gaza war. scheduled summits of the arab league

and the organisation of islamic cooperation have been merged in response to the situation in gaza. in the last few minutes, palestinian president mahmoud abbas has said his people are facing a "genocidal war". 0ur security correspondent frank gardner is in riyadh and has more on what the summit can achieve. the one thing they can all agree on is they wanted to stop immediately. i don't think there is anyone in this lavish conference here in riyadh who is not calling for a ceasefire. where there are differences below the surface is what action if any should be taken. you have the iranian president on a big iranian delegation here, i saw him a short time ago, and it is unusual in itself for the president of iran to be here in saudi arabia, these are the two big heavyweights

with totally different agendas in this region so i think they will have to go for the lowest common denominator in terms of what they can all agree on which is an end to the fighting, the condemnation of israel's actions and more humanitarian aid and ultimately an end to israeli occupation of palestinian territories. where they will disagree is whether any concrete action should be taken, because algeria two days ago during a meeting of foreign ministers post fair essentially and end to the abraham accords and wanted countries like the uae to sever their relations with israel. there has been pushed back on that, those countries don't want to do that, they want to keep channels open, even though they don't approve of what israel has been doing. iran has made it clear that it says this is not a time for words in gaza, it is a time for action and that is making people a bit nervous here, what do

they mean by that? we have already seen the houthis firing missiles towards israel. there are others firing missiles and that is concerning the more conservative arab rulers here. beneath the surface they are not united but they will come up with a united stand. this man was an absolute riot in the arab world and was essentially kicked out of the arab league and has only been rehabilitated a few months ago but he is here, you have the turkish president who for a while was not on good terms with the saudi hosts here at all at the time of the jamal khashoggi murder a few years ago and you have leaders from all over the world, some african

leaders as well. one of the things arab ministers have been saying to be privately, and i think this should make the west worried, they are saying they view western attitudes to this as being one of double standards, hypocrisy. why? because they said the west was very quick to condemn russia for its slaughter of civilians in ukraine, the terrible deaths there from missile attacks, and yet the numbers killed there are dwarfed by the numbers killed in gaza and they are saying western countries, particularly the united states, and the uk, have been muted at best when it comes to that. i just want to update comes to that. i 'ust want to update ou on comes to that. i 'ust want to update you on some — comes to that. i just want to update you on some new— comes to that. i just want to update you on some new signs _ comes to that. i just want to update you on some new signs we - comes to that. i just want to update you on some new signs we are - comes to that. i just want to update i you on some new signs we are getting from the demonstrations that are happening here in london at the moment. you will know tens of thousands are on the streets in

central london marching in support of palestine but we have also seen some counter demonstrations as well and the met police has just said a large group of counter demonstrators are now being arrested, this is in a central london. so far they say around 50 people have been arrested at the white swan pub in london and say there are more counter demonstrations around that area and inside the pub as well is that there is a heavy police presents their and we hit around 50 people so far have been arrested. that is the latest in what is happening in the streets of london. if we cannot return to gaza and one of the key things that is happening at the moment is around the hospitals. —— if we cannot return to gaza. we can show you this tweet from the palestinian red crescent saying the... and to remind

you, we have been very much focusing on al—shifa hospital and that is a facility we are hearing has now run out of water, food and crucially it has run out of electricity. so all those vital machines that are often used to keep people alive and in some cases babies, there are babies in the hospital we are hearing that are at risk and one has now died. live now to dr rebecca inglis, who is an intensive care doctor who has travelled to gaza every year to teach medical students about trauma management. thank you very much forjoining us. on what must be in incredibly difficult time for you as well watching this from afar. what do you imagine or know that those doctors

are going through, particularly at al—shifa hospital? are going through, particularly at al-shifa hospital?— al-shifa hospital? thank you for havin: al-shifa hospital? thank you for having me- _ al-shifa hospital? thank you for having me. over— al-shifa hospital? thank you for having me. over the _ al-shifa hospital? thank you for having me. over the past - al-shifa hospital? thank you for having me. over the past few. al-shifa hospital? thank you for- having me. over the past few weeks we have been getting increasingly desperate updates and these are from colleagues that we know well, i go back as you say every year and these are people we know very well, very confident medics. they are telling us that what is currently happening is apparently beyond belief, beyond words. the updates we have been having in the past 48 hours from al—shifa hospital, which as you say is the main hospital dealing with huge numbers of people who are being injured in the current bombardment and things that have been happening there in the past 48 hours are really beyond belief. the there in the past 48 hours are really beyond belief. the thing we have been hearing _ really beyond belief. the thing we have been hearing the _ really beyond belief. the thing we have been hearing the most - really beyond belief. the thing we have been hearing the most in - really beyond belief. the thing we | have been hearing the most in the last three hours is about the lack of electricity and i wonder if your aim in life as a doctor is to save

lives, how difficult it must be to be a doctor at al—shifa hospital, standing over and integrator that does not have a literacy when there is a baby inside and it needs electricity to stay alive. exactly. -- it does _ electricity to stay alive. exactly. -- it does not — electricity to stay alive. exactly. -- it does not have _ electricity to stay alive. exactly. -- it does not have electricity. i electricity to stay alive. exactly. | -- it does not have electricity. it —— it does not have electricity. it is unthinkable to have the equipment at yourfingertips but is unthinkable to have the equipment at your fingertips but it is not working. they do not even have power to get the suction, so the suction to get the suction, so the suction to clear a newborn baby's airway, they cannot do anything. adults on ventilators, children on ventilators, children on ventilators, babies we have been hearing a lot about, all of them this amounts to a death sentence and thatis this amounts to a death sentence and that is something that would happen within minutes. so the ventilated patients in icu, once the back—up batteries for the ventilators run out, there will be no longer the machines they need to breeze. i cannot describe how that would feel to my fellow medical professionals

and these are people who are dying of completely treatable problems and they will be feeling completely and utterly broken.— utterly broken. there will still be eo - le utterly broken. there will still be peeple arriving — utterly broken. there will still be people arriving at _ utterly broken. there will still be people arriving at these - utterly broken. there will still be | people arriving at these hospitals needing care at the moment. what resources do they actually have, what can they provide, if someone comes to their doors urgently he has just been in an attack of some sort or urgently needs medical care? indie or urgently needs medical care? we have or urgently needs medical care? - have heard at the moment all of the fighting going on around al—shifa hospital, and we are told it is encircled with snipers at the moment, it means people cannot actually access that hospital, that is the hospital you really need if you have had a severe injury. cannot get in or out at the moment, even to bury the dead as was mentioned earlier. we have had an update from another hospital nearby, the only hospital that is currently working in gaza city, and this is a close

colleague of mine who says the health system has collapsed. the only functioning hospital in gaza city... we are working as a field hospital. unfortunately, we can do nothing for them, only first and stabilisation. some life—saving surgeries. i have seen footage coming out of this hospital and another and it is indescribable. it is row on row of patients with horrendous life—threatening injuries and from the footage taken, you can see the small number of staff there are a totally overwhelmed. they are lying there without the health care they need, without the urgent interventions they need, and the messages that we are getting from the staff in those situations are

heartbreaking.— the staff in those situations are heartbreaking. the staff in those situations are heartbreakinu. . ~ , ., , , heartbreaking. thank you, it must be so difficult for _ heartbreaking. thank you, it must be so difficult for you _ heartbreaking. thank you, it must be so difficult for you to _ heartbreaking. thank you, it must be so difficult for you to be _ heartbreaking. thank you, it must be so difficult for you to be so _ heartbreaking. thank you, it must be so difficult for you to be so far- so difficult for you to be so far away in the safety of oxford hearing from colleagues and friends there and we do appreciate you sharing your time and what you are hearing. thank you. we are keeping across gaza and what happens in london. now it's time for a look at today's sport. hello from the bbc sport centre. let's start at the cricket world cup. england are looking good for a top eight finish, and with a place in the champions trophy in 2025 to take something off what's been a dismal defence of their trophy. they're in action against pakistan. england chose to bat and set a target of 338 for pakistan to win. ben stokes top scored for england with 84, with joe root and jonny bairstow adding nearly 120 runs between them. in response, pakistan are 89—3.

but they are now out of the running for a semifinal place, after failing to chase total in a0 balls — meaning new zealand complete the semifinal line—up. elsewhere, australia comfortably beat bangladesh by eight wickets. the aussies have already qualified for the semis, where they'll face south africa. bangladesh have qualified for the champions trophy too despite this loss. they had set australia a target of 307 to win, which australia achieved with 32 balls to spare. that means it will likely be new zealand for india next who play the netherlands tomorrow in what is a formality for the hosts. india will be looking to complete their league phase with a ninth straight win. plenty of action in the premier league. spurs are currently in action against wolves and could go top for the time being at least. they're1—0 up at molineux. brennanjohnson the scorer in the latter stages of the second half there. wolves have just got an equaliser. elsewhere in the premier league, arsenal can go level on points

with manchester city with a win over burnley, while crystal palace host everton. later, newcastle have another trip on their hands, with the journey south to strugglers bournemouth. you can follow all those scores on the bbc sport website. manchester united will look to put their midweek champions league defeat behind them when they host luton in the premier league in the next hour. united have already lost nine games this season, just three short of their total 12 defeats through all of their last campaign, and their boss erik ten hag was asked if this was acceptable. we have to win every game so we are very disappointed when we lose any game but finally it is about the end result, it is always about being a process, thinking about a process, and then it is about managing the process and it is only where i focus on. in the nba, domantas sabonis has sole possesion of second place, in the sacramento kings' career list for triple—doubles. he led them to a 105—98 victory over the oklahoma city thunder,

in an in—season tournament game on friday night. it was sabonis' first triple—double of the season, and 15th with the kings, breaking a tie with chris webber. hall of famer 0scar robertson holds the franchise record with 176. sabonis now has 33 career triple—doubles. sacramento led the entire game and recorded their seventh consecutive win over the thunder. and that's all the sport for now. you can keep up—to—date with all the football and cricket as well on the bbc sport website. thank you. stay with us here on bbc news. hello. after that misty and frosty start, it's actually turning out to be a very nice day across most of the uk — crisp with sunshine. it's not going to last, though. tomorrow we are expecting thicker cloud and outbreaks of rain,

at least across some parts of the country. you can see the weather front approaching our neck of the woods here. the weather map showing that weather front later on today nudging into south—western parts of the uk, but ahead of it, as i say, a lot of fine weather. this is what it looks like for the rest of today. clear conditions across the bulk of the country, temperatures of around ten degrees, but come the evening we are expecting that rain to reach cornwall, devon. it will nudge into wales as well late in the evening, then overnight possibly reaching northern ireland and also the midlands, as well as southern england. to the north of that, clearskies, light winds, a touch of frost widely across scotland and northern england. with that, also some mist and fog through the lowlands, maybe the vale of york. 0ut towards the west and the south—west, a different picture. we're stuck underneath that weather front, so it's going to be a grey and rainy story. let's have a look at the forecast at 11.00am on remembrance sunday. sunshine for inverness

and for aberdeen, newcastle too, but then here's that weather front and it's raining from belfast through liverpool, manchester, birmingham, possibly in london. now notice that the rain isn't heavy at all. in fact, some drier slots there in the south of the country before another sort of clump of showers arrives later on in the afternoon. i think the rain will come and go in the south, perhaps being more persistent a little bit further north. but in the north of scotland, sunshine all through the day on sunday. monday onwards, it's a big low pressure parked in the north atlantic. the weather fronts zipping our way. a really wet picture and also very, very windy. gale force winds are possible, particularly around these western coasts, but blustery inland too. again, it won't be raining all the time. i think later in the day on monday that rain will transfer northwards. relatively mild at 13 to 15 degrees celsius. looking at the outlook for the week ahead, a lot of these rain icons. perhaps a glimmer of hope of something brighter towards the end of the week,

but that's still a long way off. wherever you are, have a good day.

this is bbc news — the headlines. thousands of people are marching through central london in support of palestinians. it's expected to be the biggest such demonstration in britain since war broke out.

almost 2000 officers have been deployed — and the police say they have arrested around 50 people that they describe as counter—protesters. doctors inside the biggest hospital in gaza say one baby has died and more than 30 are at risk — as electricity has been cut amid a major israeli offensive. the director of al—shifa hospital says patients — especially those in intensive care — have started to die. the french president has said israel must stop killing babies, women, and the elderly in gaza. speaking to the bbc — emmanuel macron said that while he condemned hamas and recognised israel's right to defend itself — there was "no legitimacy" or "justification" for israel's killing of civilians. we begin here in london where a pro—palestinian march is under way. it began at hyde park and the march is now slowly making

it's way towards the us embassy. the metropolitan police says there has been a very large turnout and there have been no incidents related to this march so far. 2000 police officers are currently on duty. also in london, near westminster, there have been scuffles between members of a counter—march and police. that's been ongoing for the last couple of hours. arrests have been made. earlier, a group tried to push through to get to the cenotaph and threw objects at officers. it comes on the same day as armistice day commemorations. police say while the two minutes silence was marked respectfully and without incident on whitehall. live pictures now of pro—palestinian marchers. we are hearing from the

met police so far that this has been peaceful, that no arrests have been made. this is expected to be the biggest rally since the conflict between hamas and israel began, they have been happening every weekend. police have arrested around 50 counter protesters on or near the white swan pub in central london. we will keep across that situation for you. a two minute silence has been held across the uk to mark armistice day — including at the cenotaph in london. hundreds of military veterans formed a square around the memorial to the war dead. but there's also a huge police presence in whitehall today. the metropolitan police says it's braced for a challenging situation, with far right counter protestors causing low level scuffles at the cenotaph. helena wilkinson reports on this morning's ceremony.

bagpipes and drums play. at the cenotaph in london, the focus of the nation's remembrance, they gathered to remember those who have served and sacrificed, marking the end of the first world war on the 11th hour, on the 11th day of the 11th month. big ben strikes the hour.

after the two—minute silence, wreaths were carefully placed at the foot of the monument. then, the poem perhaps by vera brittain, who was a nurse in the first world war, was read. perhaps some day the sun will shine again, and i shall see that still the skies are blue and feel once more i do not live in vain, although i feel bereft of you and autumn harvest fields a rich delight, although you are not there. as the service was taking place, close by, far—right protesters were involved in scuffles with the police.

later, the king and queen will attend the festival of remembrance at the royal albert hall, ahead of tomorrow's remembrance sunday service. helena wilkinson, bbc news. the met have an ongoing operation around the white swan pop. around 50 arrests have been made. we now understand around 80 people have been arrested at the white swan, counter protesters they are, also being held inside the white swan pub by police. 80 counter protesters have been arrested. our correspondent graham satchell. we have been following the marchers all the from hyde park. we have gone one road parallel. you may be able

to see a significant number of metropolitan police officers who are standing outside another pub, the pride of pimlico. we understand that a significant number of arrests have also been made here, of what i loosely called far right groups, they are just a bunch of men, frankly, who seem to be out for trouble. you have been causing a bit of trouble all day. they started their day near the cenotaph, this morning, and have made their way closer and closer to the root of the march, which isjust one closer and closer to the root of the march, which is just one street away from here. we have taken a few shots of people who have been arrested here outside the pride of pimlico. met police are now seeing a total of 80 counter demonstrators have now been arrested. i should say the march itself, from what we have seen

so far, has been entirely peaceful. what sort of thing to have people been telling you on that march? you will be aware that it is a particularly sensitive day today, because it is armistice day, 11th of november, and there was considerable debate in britain about whether this march should go ahead at all. the people on the march are entirely cognizance of that, very aware of the sensitivities and concerns there have been for what, for some people, is a sacred day. it shows the strength of feeling on the palestinian side of this argument that there are so many people on this march today, hundreds and hundreds of thousands, it could potentially be one of the biggest matches that this country has seen in its recent history. they have been seen to me that they do not want to do anything that causes any kind of interference with armistice, which is why they changed their one

of the march, in previous weeks they have marched down downing street, today they have changed the route. they say they are calling for a ceasefire in gaza and there is no better day to do that than armistice day. the organisers change their one, but what have the police done, what have their tactics been to keep these demonstrators and counter protesters apart? the first thing they have done is significantly at their numbers. in previous weeks we have had something in the order of 1000 police officers. today there are more like 1800. they have said they will be robust and protecting peoples safety. that means there are stop and search orders in place, it means that without reasonable grounds the police can stop anybody and search them, demand that they remove any

face coverings for identity premises. but the key strategy has been to try and keep the two separate groups apart. it has been known for quite some time that the was going to be this absolutely huge protest march, and at the same time some counter demonstrations by far right groups. the police have said that one group can stay in one part of london, another group can stay in another part of london, never the twain shall meet, that has been there hope, their strategy. they displayed the area around the cenotaph as an exclusion zone for this protest march. as you can see from the operation going on behind me they are doing their utmost to stop the far right protesters getting anywhere near the protest. that is the strategy. it is still early days, we will have to see exactly how it goes. thank you. the french president, emmanuel macron, has told the bbc that israel must stop killing babies, women and the elderly in gaza.

in an interview at the elysee palace, he said israel had the right to respond to hamas's attack, but warned that the country could not fight terrorism by killing innocent civilians. he spoke to our europe editor katya adler we condemn this terrorist attack, we defend the right of israel to react. but because this is led by a democracy it should be compliant with international rules of war, and humanitarian international rules. day after day what we saw it as a permanent bombing of civilians. we worked very hard to try to protect people, our people, they are. we lost more than a0 french nationals, and there are still hostages. but

what happened during the past weeks is that we clearly saw that a lot of civilians were killed, and there is no justification for that. and the clear conclusion of everybody yesterday at the humanitarian conference, from united nations, to ngos, to all the governments present, is that there is no other solution than first going to a ceasefire which will allow to protect these people, to take care of people being in hospitals, and protect babies, ladies, older people, all the civilians having nothing to do with these terrorists. it is important to see the entire story, but i think this is the only

solution we have, the ceasefire. because it is impossible to explain, we want to fight against terrorism ijy we want to fight against terrorism by killing innocent people. you have been clearfrom by killing innocent people. you have been clear from the beginning about israel's right to defend itself. you have talked about the fight against terrorism needing to be merciless, is the word you use, but not without rules, and you just referred there to the high loss of civilian life in gaza, united nations secretary—general has said gazais nations secretary—general has said gaza is turning into a graveyard for children, do you think israel is respecting those international rules you are referring to? in the very first days it is clear that the emotion created a situation where everybody was close to israel and backing them and sharing the pain, and we do share the pain, and

we share their willingness to get rid of terrorism. we know what terrorism means in france. but i think there is nojustification precisely to attack civilians, there is no justification to precisely to attack civilians, there is nojustification to make precisely to attack civilians, there is no justification to make a distinction between the different lives. and very clearly today, humanitarian rules are not properly respected. we will bring you a full version of that interview injust we will bring you a full version of that interview in just under one hour on bbc news. i want to take you now to poland, to warsaw. we are seeing a very large march under way there. it is independence day. this is a large march, it happens every

year, celebrating their 105th anniversary of poland regaining its independence in 1918, it is organised by far right and anti—immigrant groups. these are fringed nationalist groups who are attending this, as well as others, also. there are of course a mixture in the crowd, we are heeding there are march as who are patriotic. do not identify as part right. but here they are carrying the red and white flag of poland, people wearing historical costumes, holding placards, and some of the placards, we understand, that are being held up, support far right messages. and there are also protesting against ukrainian refugees. there are many ukrainian refugees. there are many ukrainian refugees. there are many ukrainian refugees who have made their home in poland since the war with russia began, and anti—migrant

placards being held up as well. we also heard from the president of poland, earlier at a event he said russian imperialism would not stop at ukraine and poland must continue to modernise its military. but this is a very large polish independence day march under way in poland. irish nationalist party sinn fein, which is now the largest group in the northern ireland assembly, is holding its annual conference in the republic of ireland. party president, mary lou mcdonald, is today expected to call for a restoration of the devolved government in belfast, after its absence of more than a year and a half. a warning — there is flash photography in this report from our ireland correspondent chris page.

sinn fein has climbed to new heights on both sides of the irish border. in may, it became the biggest party in councils in northern ireland, the latest in a series of its best ever election results. the success in the council election came a year after sinn fein won the most seats here in the northern ireland assembly for the first time, but the party hasn't been able to take over in the first minister's office yet. there's been no fully—functioning devolved government in belfast for 20 months now. the democratic unionist party is vetoing the formation of a power—sharing coalition in protest against brexit trading arrangements. the dup's in talks with the westminster government over its concerns. the sinn fein vice—president, michelle o'neill, on the right, is in line to lead the stormont executive if it is restored. her party says that should happen immediately. michelle is ready, as she said many times, to lead from the front as a first minister, but i have to say, quite frankly, like, this has run out of road and people now need to roll up their sleeves and get back to work. mary lou mcdonald is also contending to be the taoiseach, the irish prime minister.

sinn fein is ahead in the polls in dublin, with a general election likely next autumn. in her conference speech, the sinn fein president is expected to pitch for power across the island of ireland, which the party ultimately wants to unite. chris page, bbc news, belfast. a state of emergency has been declared in icleland, after a series of earthquakes prompted fears of a volcanic eruption. the increased alert level came after several tremors on friday. emergency shelters are being opened in a village close to the crater, which is home to around a,000 people. an icelandic patrol vessel is being sent to the region, as the met office continues to monitor the movement of magma under the volcano. an important bridge over the river nile has been destroyed in the ongoing conflict between the sudanese army and rival

paramiilitaries. the bridge over the nile river in sudan's capital has been destroyed in the latest round of fighting, the army and rival paramilitaries said in separate statements saturday. witnesses reported "clear signs of destruction on the shambat bridge" which crosses the white nile and connecting khartoum's sister cities of khartoum north and omdurman. images posted online, which afp was unable to immediately verify, showed a section of the bridge about halfway across the river had disappeared. vehicles, apparently damaged, lay on the part of the bridge still standing. the children's commissioner for england says she's "deeply shocked" by news of children collapsing after using vapes containing illegal drugs. dame rachel de souza was responding to a bbc report on cases of young people needing hospital treatment after using e—cigarettes. our health editor hugh

pym has the story. it's about getting there now to try and get hold of this craze... on patrol in oldham, lee is a school engagement officer with greater manchester police. he says working with staff and pupils to tackle vaping is now one of the main priorities. you can see there's a trend and it is rising, so it will become no doubt at some point one priority for the police to be involved, not necessarily for things like being in possession of a vape, but it's where these young people are getting them from, who's supplying these vapes, who's supplying the liquids for the reusable ones that are potentially containing the thc and the spice and things like that. so necessarily the vape itself might not be the issue, but it's the... where are they getting from and who's supplying that? a stark warning has come from glyn potts, a head teacher in oldham. a 12—year—old pupil collapsed

outside the school and needed hospital treatment after using a vape with spice. i pray that we don't have a fatality in these kind of instances, but i do fear that that is likely to happen if we don't address these matters. we know of young people that are being hospitalised as a consequence of using vape pens. how long will it be until someone has used one and it goes too far? we've got to do everything we can to avoid that. in response to the bbc report, the children's commissioner for england, dame rachel de souza, said... "it's deeply shocking to hear reports of children collapsing from spice contained in vapes. as children's commissioner, i want all children to grow up healthy and well, which is why i've previously called for disposable vapes to be banned. we need to be moving faster on this issue or we risk it spiralling out of control. it's a fairly new phenomenon that has really escalated... in recent days ministers have set out plans to crack down on underage vaping, with the health secretary, steve barclay, covering england meeting trading standards

offices in salford. he saw two shipping containers filled with illegal vapes which had been seized. ministers in scotland, wales and northern ireland are also consulting on measures to restrict availability. but the message from local communities is that coordinated action is urgently needed. hugh pym, bbc news. many veterans will put on their service medals over the coming days — as they gather to remember the fallen — and keith eema will be wearing his with extra pride. keith's falklands medals were stolen a0 years ago — but he's been recently reunited with them — just in time for this year's commemorations. our reporter, steve knibbs has the story. one from the wedding. so that was the last time you saw this? that was the last day that

i ever wore the medals. when paratrooper keith got married in berkeley in 198a, he proudly wore his uniform and medals earned for service in northern ireland and during the falklands conflict. but that was the last time he saw them. went to the ceremonies after the wedding. put them in the boot of my car and the next morning they'd gone. what did you think? devastated, really. shocked. and it didn't go down very well with the regiment because i actually got seven days restriction of privileges. keith had given up hope of ever seeing them again and had bought replicas to replace them. but a couple of weeks ago he had a text from a friend who he'd served with. nick taylor sent me a message asking if i was ok, and he said, well, why are you selling your medals? so he thought you were selling them, effectively? he thought i was selling them. so that's why he was asking me, you know, was i ok? keith, of course, knew nothing about it. he didn't know where the medals were. but when he checked it out, he found that a military antique dealer in herefordshire was advertising them, and he knew they were his because his name was engraved on the side. they were on sale for over £3,000. emotion.

pure, utter emotion that i was getting them back, really. it's been on my mind all my life since those days. the team at war and son in leominster was selling the medals after the collector who'd had them for 30 years without any knowledge they'd been stolen, passed away. when they found out they were keith's, they had no hesitation in handing them back. just plainly delighted. i think that each time we put these out, even if they're very early british campaign medals dating back to early 19th century, eventually family might pick these up and it could happen generations later. for them to go directly back to the recipient is magnificent and just in time for this weekend. so that's what we'd be thinking about a lot this weekend. so the big moment. after last seeing them in 198a, keith was reunited with his medals from the police officer who'd collected them. what does that mean? the world, really. it's the best christmas present i've ever had. thank you. you're so welcome.

it's been a pleasure to meet you and an absolute honourl to get his medals back for him, | especially before remembrance sunday, so that he can wear his actual medals and not some replicas. police have looked back, but the trail into where the medals have been for a0 years has gone cold. keith, though, isjust pleased to get them back. and just in time for remembrance sunday this weekend when he'll be wearing his medals with pride once again. i haven't seen them in, what, a0 years. steve knibbs, bbc news, gloucester. latest pictures from central london, huge crowds of pro—palestinian protesters. pictures of the us embassy, which is south of the thames, where protesters have been making their way, calling for a gaza ceasefire. they started off in hyde park in central london. we believe this is the biggest rally since the

israel— hamas war began. an update on the counter protests taking place, and the arrests, we understand from the met police, 80 counter demonstrators have been arrested, and we have been told, 82, we have just been told, this arrested, and we have been told, 82, we havejust been told, this is arrested, and we have been told, 82, we have just been told, this is to prevent a breach of the piece, they are part of a large group of counter protesters we have been monitoring, the police statement says. we will continue to take action to avoid the disorder that would likely take place if that happened. these pictures are of peaceful pro—palestinian protesters calling for a gaza ceasefire, they have marched from hyde park to the us embassy. now it is time for the weather. hello. after that misty and frosty start, it's actually turning out to be a very nice day across most of the uk — crisp with sunshine.

it's not going to last, though. tomorrow we are expecting thicker cloud and outbreaks of rain, at least across some parts of the country. you can see the weather front approaching our neck of the woods here. the weather map showing that weather front later on today nudging into south—western parts of the uk, but ahead of it, as i say, a lot of fine weather. this is what it looks like for the rest of today. clear conditions across the bulk of the country, temperatures of around ten degrees, but come the evening we are expecting that rain to reach cornwall, devon. it will nudge into wales as well late in the evening, then overnight possibly reaching northern ireland and also the midlands, as well as southern england. to the north of that, clearskies, light winds, a touch of frost widely across scotland and northern england. with that, also some mist and fog through the lowlands, maybe the vale of york. out towards the west and the south—west, a different picture. we're stuck underneath that weather front, so it's going to be a grey and rainy story. let's have a look at the forecast at 11.00am on remembrance sunday. sunshine for inverness

and for aberdeen, newcastle too, but then here's that weather front and it's raining from belfast through liverpool, manchester, birmingham, possibly in london. now notice that the rain isn't heavy at all. in fact, some drier slots there in the south of the country before another sort of clump of showers arrives later on in the afternoon. i think the rain will come and go in the south, perhaps being more persistent a little bit further north. but in the north of scotland, sunshine all through the day on sunday. monday onwards, it's a big low pressure parked in the north atlantic. the weather fronts zipping our way. a really wet picture and also very, very windy. gale force winds are possible, particularly around these western coasts, but blustery inland too. again, it won't be raining all the time. i think later in the day on monday that rain will transfer northwards. relatively mild at 13 to 15 degrees celsius. looking at the outlook for the week ahead, a lot of these rain icons. perhaps a glimmer of hope

of something brighter towards the end of the week, but that's still a long way off. wherever you are, have a good day.

live from london, this is bbc news. thousands take to the streets of the british capital in the largest pro—palestinian rally of its kind since the war in gaza began. police confirm officers faced aggression from what they describe as counter—protesters. more than 80 people have been arrested. doctors inside the biggest hospital in gaza say one baby's died and more than 30 are at risk, as electricity is cut. the israeli military says the main road through gaza has been opened for evacuations, with a tactical pause in fighting under way. french president emmanuel macron calls for a ceasefire and tells the bbc israel must stop killing civilians in gaza.

hello. i'm lucy hockings. let's begin by showing you some live pictures from london. a large pro—palestinian march is under way. it began a few hours ago at hyde park, moving slowly towards the us embassy. as you can see from these pictures, there are thousands of people attending. people with families, elderly people as well and so far police are saying it has been peaceful. these marches have been happening since early october but police have been expecting this will be one of the largest. that is quite a dramatic shot we can see now from the helicopter which shows you that many of them crossing the bridge to the us embassy. nearly 2,000 officers have been

deployed across central london. the march is happening on the same day as armistice commemorations.
