at hyde park, moving slowly towards the us embassy. police say more than 300,000 people have been taking part and have said that it has been peaceful. nearly 2,000 officers have been deployed across central london. the march is happening on the same day as armistice commemorations. police say the two minutes silence, which look place at 11 am local, was marked �*respectfully and without incident�*. but, as you can see from these pictures, officers have face aggression from counter—protestors who include some far—right groups. scuffles broke out as police attempted to stop them from reaching an area. police say the two—minute silence was much respectfully and without incident. there's been some trouble,

though, officers have faced aggression from counter protesters who include some far right groups. scuffles broke out as police attempted to stop them reaching an area and the group pushed through as officers hit out with batons. police say objects were thrown at officers and the very latest figure we have from the met police, they are making a rest at the moment. more than 90 people have been arrested for breach of the piece while ten more people have been arrested for possessing offensive weapons and drugs. these pictures, you can see here, of counter protesters. they are being held inside a pub in pimlico by police as the main protests go past. that is the scene across central london at the moment and we'll bring you more of these events a little later. these rallies come, of course, as the health ministry in gaza's largest medical facility so that they have been forced to suspend operations because they run out of fuel. there are reports of intensified fighting close to a

number of hospitals in the territory from overnight. doctors inside say one baby has died and more than 30 are at risk as electricity has been cut amid this latest israeli offensive. israel claims the hospital is hamas's main command post and this is something that hamas and medics there deny. transformed it into legitimate military target. today, a senior figure from the israeli military conceded that there are thousands of civilians in the courtyard of the hospital. and so, making it, like other hospitals in this part of gaza, right on the front line. 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. 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. 0ur correspondent in gaza is rushdi aboualouf. he says more people are arriving at refugee camps from northern gaza. in khan younis today, more than 2,000, 3,000 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. live now to our diplomatic correspondent paul adams in jerusalem. that painted a very graphic picture of what is happening inside al—shifa at the moment. what are the israeli

defence forces saying?— defence forces saying? well, it is certainly a _ defence forces saying? well, it is certainly a message _ defence forces saying? well, it is certainly a message that - defence forces saying? well, it is certainly a message that is - defence forces saying? well, it is . certainly a message that is complete variance with the reports that we have been getting from gaza all day which, as you say, did paint a very, very bleak picture. what the israelis are saying is that they are not shooting at al—shifa hospital and that there is no siege at al—shifa. they say that the east side of the hospital is open for anyone who wants to leave and join the tens of thousands of others who have fled to the southern part of the gaza strip in recent days. i think, the problem here is that he was a hospital that is in the middle of a city which is a war zone right now. all the images from al—shifa and the sounds that you hear from al—shifa tell you that there is a raging battle going on all around that hospital and it is not surprising that many people have concluded that israel is deliberately targeting the hospital. it seems as though some damage has been done. we do not know exactly how that damage has been inflicted

but it is enough to cause deep alarm among those in the hospital. the picture and some of the other hospitals is equally difficult. a different hospital say they have hundreds of styles and thousands of civilians sheltering there who feel completely trapped. they say they are surrounded by the israeli military. another hospital, we have been told about this morning, by the israelis, that has been more or less evacuated. now, that is one of the smaller hospitals and i think that is a kind of model, if you like, for what israelis want to see in all the other hospitals because they believe that hamas are using these facilities as cover for their fighters. they want the civilians out of the way so that they can deal with hamas. that is the israeli argument. with hamas. that is the israeli argument-— with hamas. that is the israeli aruument. ~ , ., ., , ., argument. we 'ust had a statement throu~h argument. we 'ust had a statement through from — argument. we just had a statement through from doctors _ argument. we just had a statement through from doctors without - argument. we just had a statement i through from doctors without borders in the past few minutes or so withoutjust been reading which says

their staff have been working but have been hit several times a al—shifa and that includes the maternity and outpatient departments. they say there has multiple deaths and injuries but, crucially, they say their staff are still attempting to work. do we know if there are operational medical facilities in gaza at the moment? i also saw that one of the others is one of the few hospitals up and running. it one of the few hospitals up and runninu. , . , , one of the few hospitals up and runninu. , . _ q running. it is incredibly difficult situation to _ running. it is incredibly difficult situation to read. _ running. it is incredibly difficult situation to read. there - running. it is incredibly difficult situation to read. there was . running. it is incredibly difficult situation to read. there was a i situation to read. there was a statement saying there was only one properly functioning cost on the gaza strip was at that is probably not the case. al—shifa is probably still operating in some way. some of the reports are, and so it is very hard for us to make a very kind of definitivejudgment about hard for us to make a very kind of definitive judgment about what is going on. all we can say, with absolute certainty, is that the israelis of isolated and virtually cut off all of these hospitals in an

attempt to deal with what they say is the hamas infrastructure that they say is inside or underneath those hospitals. it is a very, i mean, increasingly perilous situation. in fact, mean, increasingly perilous situation. infact, i mean, increasingly perilous situation. in fact, i was asking an israeli spokesperson this morning. how long can you actually lay siege to a hospital before you have to go in and effectively take control of it? well, they say there is no siege and they will be drawn on whether or not the israelis will be compelled, in the coming days, to actually go and take control of some of these facilities. i'd make good to see. thank you so much. we are getting different descriptions of what is happening, particularly inside al—shifa. happening, particularly inside al-shifa. ., , , al-shifa. one of the nurses texted we are being _ al-shifa. one of the nurses texted we are being killed _ al-shifa. one of the nurses texted we are being killed here, - al-shifa. one of the nurses texted we are being killed here, please i al-shifa. one of the nurses texted| we are being killed here, please do something. been texting their staff here in london. been texting their staff here in london. earlier i spoke to dr rebecca inglis. she is an intensive care doctor who

has travelled to gaza every year to teach medical students about trauma management. i began by asking her what the medical staff in gaza must be going through at this time. well, over the past few weeks, we've been getting increasingly desperate updates and these are from colleagues that we know well. i go back, as you say, every year and teach was that these are people that we know very well, very competent medics. they are telling us what is currently happening is currently beyond belief, beyond words. the updates we have in having in the past 48 hours from al—shifa hospital which, as you say, is the trauma hospital, that means it is dealing with huge numbers of people being injured in the current bombardment and the things that have been happening there in the past 48 hours are really beyond belief. the happening there in the past 48 hours are really beyond belief.— are really beyond belief. the thing we have been _ are really beyond belief. the thing we have been hearing _ are really beyond belief. the thing we have been hearing the - are really beyond belief. the thing we have been hearing the most i are really beyond belief. the thing we have been hearing the most in| are really beyond belief. the thing . we have been hearing the most in the

no longer the machines that they need to breathe. i cannot describe how that would feel to my fellow medical professionals. these are people who are dying of completely treatable problems and they will be feeling completely and utterly broken. , , , broken. there will still be people arrivina broken. there will still be people arrivin: at broken. there will still be people arriving at these _ broken. there will still be people arriving at these hospitals - broken. there will still be people | arriving at these hospitals needing care at the moment, rebecca. what resources do they actually have. what can they provide if someone comes through their doors urgently who hasjust been in an comes through their doors urgently who has just been in an attack of some sort or urgently needs medical care? mag well, so we have heard that, at the moment, all of the fighting going on around al—shifa and we are told it is encircled with snipers at the moment it means people cannot actually access that hospital. people cannot actually access that hos - ital. . people cannot actually access that hosital. . , people cannot actually access that hosital. ., , ., people cannot actually access that hosital. . , . , ., hospital. that is the that you really need _ hospital. that is the that you really need if _ hospital. that is the that you really need if you _ hospital. that is the that you really need if you had - hospital. that is the that you really need if you had a - hospital. that is the that you i really need if you had a severe injury. you 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 this morning. we have received more than 150 injured in the past 12 hours. we are working as a field hospital. unfortunately, we can do nothing for them. only first aid and stabilisation. some life—saving surgeries. i've 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 being taken, you can see that the number of staff that there are are totally overwhelmed. they are are totally overwhelmed. they are lying there without the health care that they need. they are lying

there without the urgent intervention is that they need and that we are getting from the staff in those situations are heartbreaking.- in those situations are heartbreakinu. ~ ., ~ , in those situations are heartbreakinu. . ., ~ , heartbreaking. we are keeping across what is happening _ heartbreaking. we are keeping across what is happening in _ heartbreaking. we are keeping across what is happening in gaza _ heartbreaking. we are keeping across what is happening in gaza and - heartbreaking. we are keeping across what is happening in gaza and in - what is happening in gaza and in israel. we will take you back there shortly but we need to return now to the uk. let's return to the thousands of people marching through london in support of palestinians. crowds are making their way to the us embassy. there are people there behind you and we're hearing from the police, people have attended this much. how has it been? ~ people have attended this much. how has it been?— has it been? well, it has been an extraordinary _ has it been? well, it has been an extraordinary day. _ has it been? well, it has been an extraordinary day. i— has it been? well, it has been an extraordinary day. i cannot - has it been? well, it has been an - extraordinary day. i cannot remember a protest as large in the streets of london in recent memory. i think the estimate of 300,000 may well be right. i think it has been a

passionate day. people have been expressing their view very clearly that they want a ceasefire in the middle east. that they want the killing to stop. as you can see, we are still surrounded by people carrying placards, carrying flags, absolutely passionately determined to get their message across that they want the fighting to stop. we have been hearing chants that... must be free. the jewish have been hearing chants that... must be free. thejewish community would see that as a direct attack on them. that is not the view of the protesters here. and i should say that, on the whole, despite the police concerns about safety, what we have seen on the ground has been entirely peaceful.— entirely peaceful. graham, thanks for that. let's _ entirely peaceful. graham, thanks for that. let's go _ entirely peaceful. graham, thanks for that. let's go to _ entirely peaceful. graham, thanks for that. let's go to charlotte - entirely peaceful. graham, thanks for that. let's go to charlotte to l for that. let's go to charlotte to gaelic. we understand that the met police have arrested about 82 counter protesters. we can see a

large police presence behind you. what is happening where you are? $5 what is happening where you are? is you can see, there is a pub behind me and come inside that pub, until fairly recently, where a large group of people, mainly men. we think they were counter protesters. each one has been brought out and searched by police. some have been arrested, some, we think, had been allowed to go because some people and there were just having a go because some people and there werejust having a drink, have nothing to do with a counter protesting but people were lined up against the wall, they were searched and they were handcuffed, there has been police horses, riot police and reason why there is so much please here is that there is where the marches. marches for the ceasefire were going past this pub and potential counter protesters were, you understand by this had to be policed so carefully. it could have been a real flashpoint. policed so carefully. it could have been a realflashpoint. but policed so carefully. it could have been a real flashpoint. but so far, what we have seen at the march here, it has been passionate but it has been peaceful. and also, the counter

protesters, that were brought out at the pub, they were brought out peacefully as well. there was no scuffles with the police, which we saw earlier at the cenotaph. in chinatown, in central london. so it seems that the situation is very much under control. this is the tail end of the march now. people have been marching for about two hours passed as. thousands and thousands of people. some chanting ceasefire now. there have also been chants from the river to the sea, which is controversial, as graham just explained there. it has been a real mix of people marching for a ceasefire. families, elderly people, young people, lots of flags, lots of placards. and so far there hasn't been any trouble.— placards. and so far there hasn't been any trouble. what are the met olice been any trouble. what are the met police saying _ been any trouble. what are the met police saying about _ been any trouble. what are the met police saying about the _ been any trouble. what are the met police saying about the earlier- police saying about the earlier aggression that some of their face from the counter protesters near the cenotaph? from the counter protesters near the cenota - h? , from the counter protesters near the cenotah? , ., ._ , from the counter protesters near the cenotah? , . , , ., cenotaph? they are saying it is not one cohesive _ cenotaph? they are saying it is not one cohesive group _ cenotaph? they are saying it is not one cohesive group that _ cenotaph? they are saying it is not one cohesive group that was - one cohesive group that was organised to come down into central

london today. it was a collection of people with far right beliefs. they say missiles such as bottles were thrown at police officers and police officers faced significant aggression from some of these counter protesters. tommy robinson, far right vigour here in the uk, he was down at the protest as well. he is now left, we think. you left when it moved into central london but the counter protesters really have been dwarfed in number by the number of marchers for a ceasefire. 0bviously, marchers for a ceasefire. obviously, the police are very keen to nip this in the bud because the last thing they wanted, of course, was a confrontation between the two sides and it could be incredibly violent. thanks so much for that graham, as well. as charlotte and graham were saying, amongst these 300,000 people who have been marching today, lots of different people, elderly people, people with their families. different groups as well. we're joined now by max who has been

marching with thejewish block at the pro—palestine protest. how was your day been? you the pro-palestine protest. how was your day been?— your day been? you so much for havin: your day been? you so much for having me- _ your day been? you so much for having me. yeah, _ your day been? you so much for having me. yeah, i— your day been? you so much for having me. yeah, ithink- your day been? you so much for having me. yeah, i think this . your day been? you so much for| having me. yeah, i think this has been a tremendously powerful day. i've been really, really happy to be part of such a large movement. police have been saying, i think about 300,000 people and organisers were estimating up to 500,000. so a tremendous desire of the british people to see a ceasefire in the middle east. i think it has been a very, very empowering protest today. me personally, being part of the jewish block, ifound that me personally, being part of the jewish block, i found that to me personally, being part of the jewish block, ifound that to be very, very empowering. we are seeing in this country are an increasing number ofjewish people who are standing up and fighting for palestinian human rights, you understand thatjewish liberation understand that jewish liberation and understand thatjewish liberation and palestinian liberation to interlink struggles just as fight against anti—semitism and islamic failure are interlinked struggles. i've been happy and felt offended by

jewish values and belief in justice and peace and i think the protest has been tremendous display of that and the british public�*s desire to see peace. bite back what you make of the fact that there are members of the fact that there are members of the fact that there are members of the governing party here in the uk, the conservative party, he said that this march is disrespectful? yeah, i don't really see the case for this being a disrespectful march, to be honest. i think what is far more disrespectful is on armistice day to be perpetuating in the middle east another war, you know. we are now in the uk commemorating the armistice of over 100 years ago, the ceasefire then, as it were. and this is essentially the same if those that the protest is in line with. what could be more in the spirit of armistice day than a desire to see the fighting end in the middle east. you know, i think this is to very linked ideas, very interlinked desires to see lasting peace in the world, notjust100

years ago but also today. i find it much more disrespectful to smear the protesters by saying that goals are somehow contrary to those of armistice day than to claim that armistice day than to claim that armistice day than to claim that armistice day is somehow in line with the consistent government policy of the united kingdom which has been enabling a bombing campaign in gaza which is had humanitarian consequences. imilli in gaza which is had humanitarian consequences.— in gaza which is had humanitarian consequences. will know that since the war started _ consequences. will know that since the war started there's _ consequences. will know that since the war started there's been - consequences. will know that since the war started there's been a - consequences. will know that since | the war started there's been a huge rise in anti—semitic attacks in london, have you come in the past month, felt unsafe?— london, have you come in the past month, felt unsafe? sorry, could you reeat month, felt unsafe? sorry, could you repeat that? — month, felt unsafe? sorry, could you repeat that? avenue, _ month, felt unsafe? sorry, could you repeat that? avenue, in _ month, felt unsafe? sorry, could you repeat that? avenue, in the - month, felt unsafe? sorry, could you repeat that? avenue, in the past - repeat that? avenue, in the past month, that _ repeat that? avenue, in the past month, that unsafe? _ repeat that? avenue, in the past month, that unsafe? there - repeat that? avenue, in the past month, that unsafe? there has l repeat that? avenue, in the past - month, that unsafe? there has been a huge rise in anti—semitic attacks. you make there has indeed been a huge rise in anti—semitic attacks were doubling something i think many members of my community in the united kingdom ifelt. i personally have been lucky not to be personally subject to any of those attacks but i certainly have friends and family who had been. i think there is a general feeling who had been. i think there is a generalfeeling that of who had been. i think there is a general feeling that of course must be taken seriously in the uk where

an increasing number of dues are feeling unsafe.— an increasing number of dues are feeling unsafe. what i want to say is that that _ feeling unsafe. what i want to say is that that feeling _ feeling unsafe. what i want to say is that that feeling of _ feeling unsafe. what i want to say is that that feeling of a _ feeling unsafe. what i want to say is that that feeling of a lack - feeling unsafe. what i want to say is that that feeling of a lack of - is that that feeling of a lack of safety and rising anti—semitism is not helped by the rhetoric of the government, by the rhetoric of those in the government to say that calling for a ceasefire is somehow anti—semitic. what pictured is a paint ofjewish life and you say that pro—peace demonstrators are somehow a threat to jewish people? i somehow a threat tojewish people? i think it is much more anti—semitic and much more of a threat of stoking anti—semitism to conflate the safety of dues with the offensive actions of dues with the offensive actions of the israeli government with its incendiary bombing campaign, then pretty much anything that i've seen at any of these protests, certainly. max, did you receive any criticism from anyone in your community, your family, your peers, for attending today's march?— today's march? you know, i've certainly _ today's march? you know, i've certainly had — today's march? you know, i've certainly had my _ today's march? you know, i'vel certainly had my disagreements today's march? you know, i've - certainly had my disagreements with members of my community and obviously, this is a topic that is a very, very sensitive on thejewish community. i will say that camino, i've been involved in movements for

palestinian justice, for palestinian liberation, for an end to the occupation which is the central message of the group i am a member of the top for several years now. and i think the atmosphere certainly sets a palpable shift of atmosphere and the jewish sets a palpable shift of atmosphere and thejewish community. more and more people in thejewish community, certainly in thejewish community in they are waking up to the fact that our safety cannot come at the cost of palestinian oppression and indeed that our safety is interlinked with the safety and liberation of palestinians. you see morejewish people fighting for palestinian human rights in the uk than ever before and i thinkjewish people in the uk are being empowered to have a vocabulary to express their increase concern with the israeli government's radical shift to the right, their offensive campaign in gaza and with their desire to see palestine liberated. it gaza and with their desire to see palestine liberated.— gaza and with their desire to see palestine liberated. it has a really interestin: palestine liberated. it has a really interesting to _ palestine liberated. it has a really interesting to hear— palestine liberated. it has a really interesting to hear your _ palestine liberated. it has a really interesting to hear your thoughts | interesting to hear your thoughts and very important, too. thank you very much forjoining we can just show you some pictures as we leave

you, of the protesters in central london today. the met that some 300,000 pro—palestinian protesters, many calling for a ceasefire in gaza, have been in london. do stay with us. 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. an estimated 300,000 people have been marching through central london in support of palestinians. it's believed to be the biggest such demonstration in britain since war broke out. almost 2,000 officers have been deployed — and the police say they've arrested more than 90 people that they describe as counter—protesters. doctors say patients at gaza's biggest hospital have died and others are at imminent risk of dying — amid the israeli offensive. a palestinian surgeon at al—shifa hospital says most of the civilians there — including patients and some medical staff — have now left to escape the fighting. 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. let's begin by showing you some live pictures from london. a large pro—palestinian march is finishing up — it began a few hours ago at hyde park, moving slowly towards the us embassy. police say more than 300,000 people have been taking part. these marches have been happening since early october, but police have been expecting this will be one of the largest. nearly 2,000 officers have been deployed across central london.

police say the two minutes silence — which look place at 11 am local time — was marked �*respectfully and without incident�*. but as you can see from these pictures, officers have faced aggression scuffles broke out as police attempted to stop them from reaching an area. the group pushed through as officers hit out with batons. london�*s police say objects were also thrown at officers. we�*re told around 90 people have been arrested in the city�*s centre. this is the us embassy in south london. those pictures that we saw earlier of the demonstration

stretching back two miles, striking pictures, this is where they are all ending. that is really important because one of the conditions for the police saying that this demonstration could go ahead was that it all has to finish it by five o�*clock. that is really important. what i have seen at the moment is people coming here, and then they are dispersing from here. there have been some speeches, a little bit down the road that i can see the moment, but i have walked along the river from moment, but i have walked along the riverfrom battersea power moment, but i have walked along the river from battersea power station, as most people are dispersing towards battersea power station, or away from here, once they have reached the us embassy. it has been quite a peaceful protest so far, quite a peaceful protest so far, quite a peaceful protest so far, quite a family atmosphere, people have even said as well, men, women, children, young, old. lots of different people demonstrating here today. how has the police presence been at the us embassy? that is an interesting question. we

have had 2000 police on duty, but they are actually standing quite far back because this has been relatively peaceful, but we know that they are waiting in the wings, that they are waiting in the wings, that it that they are waiting in the wings, thatitis that they are waiting in the wings, that it is a big police presence here, and we also know that sir mark rowley, and gold command, they were here before the demonstrators got here, talking to police officers before this operation began. they are in charge of one of the most difficult operations, they admits, of their career. they were seen here today as well. definitely a big police presence, but they are staying back at the moment. we can see people with flags and placards behind you. what have they been saying to you about their reasons for protesting today, what are some of the words on the placards? 0ne placards? one of the ones that i saw that was most striking said, peace for palestine, peace for israel, peace for the world. i think that sums up

the feeling here at the moment. they wanted to come out to demonstrate for a piece on armistice day. i have also seen a lot of people waving the palestinian flag and also wearing a p°ppy at palestinian flag and also wearing a poppy at the same time. a lot of people felt that was important, that they wanted to support both causes today, in the name of armistice, in the name of peace. 25 minutes before that protest is set to conclude. the rallies in london come as the hamas—run health ministry says gaza�*s largest medical facility — al—shifa hospital — has been forced to suspend operations, because it�*s run out of fuel. there are reports of intensified fighting close to a number of hospitals in the territory from overnight. doctors inside the al—shifa hospital say one baby has died and more than 30 are at risk, as electricity has been cut amid the israeli offensive. israel claims al—shifa

is hamas�* main command post — something hamas denies. 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 clearly condemn this terrorist attack and terrorist group and recognise the right of israel to protect itself and react. but, day one, we say that this reaction and the fight against terrorism, because it is led by a democracy, should be compliant with international rules, rule of war and humanitarian international law. and day after day, what we saw is a permanent bombing of civilians in gaza. we worked very hard to try

to protect people, our people there, because unhappily we we lost more than 40 french nationals and we still have hostages. and when i speak about it first, i think about our families. 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 during the humanitarian conference, from united nations to ngos to all the governments being 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 to protect babies, ladies, old people,

all the civilians having nothing to do with these terrorists. and i think it�*s it�*s very important to say the whole story. but i think this is the only solution we have. the ceasefire. because it�*s impossible to explain, we want to fight against terrorism by killing innocent people. as you say, president macron, you�*ve been very clear right from the beginning about israel�*s right to defend itself. you�*ve talked about the fight against terrorism needing to be merciless is the word you used, but not without rules. and you�*ve just referred there to the high loss of civilian life in gaza. you�*ve got the united nations secretary general saying gaza is turning into a graveyard for children. do you think israel is respecting those rules, the international rules that you�*re referring to? look, in the very first days, it�*s clear that the emotion,

the compassion, created a situation where everybody was just close to israel and backing them and sharing the pain. and we do share their pain and we do share the willingness to get rid of terrorism. we we know what terrorism means in france. but i think there is no justification precisely to attack civilians. there is no justification to make a distinction between the different lives — palestinian lives do matter. and very clearly today these humanitarian rules are not properly respected. 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.

0ur security correspondent frank gardner is there with more. the one thing they can all agree on is they want it to stop immediately. i don�*t think there is anybody here at this vast conference, in this lavish conference centre here in riyadh, that is not calling for a ceasefire. where there are differences below the surface is what action if any should be taken. so you�*ve got the iranian president and a big iranian delegation here, i saw him just not a short time ago, that�*s president ebrahim raisi of iran, and it�*s unusual in itself for the president of iran to be here in saudi arabia. these are the two big regional heavyweights with totally different agendas in this region, so i think they are going to have to go for the lowest common denominator in terms of what they can all agree on, which is an end to the fighting, a condemnation of israel�*s actions, and more humanitarian aid, and ultimately an end to israeli occupation of palestinian territories. where they are going to disagree

is whether any concrete action should be taken, because algeria two days ago, during a meeting of foreign ministers, pushed for essentially an end to the abraham accords. they wanted countries like the uae, the united arab emirates, and bahrain to sever their relations with israel. there has been pushback 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, who are an iranian ally in yemen, firing missiles towards israel, aiming at southern israel. you�*ve had iranian—backed proxy militias in lebanon, syria, iraq, all firing missiles, and that is concerning the more conservative arab rulers here.

so beneath the surface they�*re not united, but they will come up with a united stand condemning israel. syria�*s president, bashar al—assad, is here. i mean, this man was an absolute pariah in the arab world, he was essentially kicked out of the arab league from the 2011 uprising onwards, soon after that. he�*s only been rehabilitated a few months ago but he is here. you�*ve got turkish president erdogan, who for a while was not on good terms with the saudi hosts here at all at the time of the jamal khashoggi murderfive years ago, and you�*ve got leaders from all over the muslim world, you�*ve got a number of african leaders here and of course you�*ve got president mahmoud abbas of the palestinian authority is here, and he�*s been very outspoken. one of the things arab ministers have been saying to me privately, and i think this should make the west worried, they are saying that they view western attitudes to this as being one of double

standards, of 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 being 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. pro—palestinian demonstrations have also taken place in cities across the uk. this protest in edinburgh on saturday saw trams suspended for more than an hour due to large crowds. large crowds marched through the streets and gathered at the waverley bridge and st andrew square. there were also marches and rallies today in glasgow, aberdeen, and dundee. the protesors are calling for a ceasefire to prevent further bloodshed.

the protest sparked a tense week at the height of government — home secretary suella braverman is facing calls to be sacked after an article she wrote in which she accused the police of bias and playing favourites by treating pro—palestinian marches differently to demonstrations by right wing groups. further pressure came today after counter protesters clashed with police officers near the cenotaph. scotland�*s first minister humza yousaf called for suella braverman to resign after the violence broke out — saying that she has been �*fanning the flames of division�* and london mayor sadiq khan also blamed the violence on the home secretary — saying she has made the police�*sjob much harder. let�*s talk to our political correspondent helen catt whojoins me from the newsroom. have we heard from suella braverman this afternoon? we have not. today, a lot of criticism levelled at her over the last few days after she wrote that

article for the times use paper, which appeared on wednesday night on the website and thursday in the newspaper. there has been a political row about how that came to be published. number ten seeing that they did not clear the contents of it, that they had asked for edits to be made, that were not, and there is an ongoing process, they said, looking at how that came to be. but there has been criticism about the language to use, and accusations that she was undermining police. last night she took steps to try to row back from some of those accusations, last night a source close to the home secretary said she had met the police commissioner sir mark rowley, and the police had her full backing. that has not stopped more allegations today. you mentioned today, the mayor of london, saying that the scenes of disorder by the far right at the cenotaph were a direct result of the

words of the home secretary. and the scottish first minister had gone even further, saying that she had emboldened the far right by fanning the flames of division, her position was untenable, she must resign. 0ne was untenable, she must resign. one potential positive for the home secretary, that does not seem to have been a huge appetite amongst conservative colleagues today to come out and say anything against her, although there have been some who criticise her in recent days, some who have also supported her. but there is anger behind the scenes among some conservative mps. 0ne among some conservative mps. one that i spoke to earlier suggested that i spoke to earlier suggested that if it remains the case that the violence is only amongst that far right protesters that is not likely to help our cause. another said that her language had been incendiary and unhelpful. the issue has not gone away, but ijust think unhelpful. the issue has not gone away, but i just think we are hearing a bit less publicly from conservatives this afternoon. you have mentioned the calls for her to resign, during the week there were also calls for her to be

sacked. we are adjusting pictures of her with the prime minister, do you think keeping her in the post damages him? this is what rishi sunak is going to have to weigh up over the next couple of days. suella braverman, this is part of her style, she has got a punchy style, it wins power a lot of fans among some people, he would have known when he appointed her that this is her style and this is a sort of things she does and says occasionally. what rishi sunak will have to start to weigh up is whether having her in their cabinet is still a benefits, or whether this is still a benefits, or whether this is damaging, the frequency with this controversy. think back to the beginning of the week, at the end of the week we are talking about the controversy linked to something suella braverman said about marchers, at the beginning of the week there was controversy about what suella braverman said about people sleeping in tents, it�*s been a lifestyle choice, that went down badly with some conservative mps,

one told me that that was damaging to the conservative brand. we know that rishi sunak has this ongoing process, we do not have a timescale on when that might conclude, we know that rishi sunak is planning a reshuffle, moving around his top team at some point, the suggestion, of the thinking at westminster is, does he bring that forward and that he decided now that it is time that the home secretary has moved on, we do not know that until it happens. a two minute silence was 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. 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 leader of lebanon�*s iran—backed hezbollah group, hassan nasrallah, has called on arab and muslim leaders meeting in riyadh to urge washington to stop israel�*s military operation in gaza. i spoke earlier with middle east correspondent, hugo bachega on nasrallah�*s latest speech. this was the second speech by hassan nasrallah since the beginning of this war between israel and hamas. he spoke for more than an hour. there was no major announcement from him, but he talked about the situation on the ground. he said that those attacks that have been carried out by hezbollah over the last month will continue. he described the group�*s actions along the lebanon—israel border as a support front for hamas in the war in gaza. he also said that hezbollah has intensified its attacks against israel in the past week by launching drones, also more powerful missiles. and he also said that hezbollah has

now been targeting positions deeper inside israel. i thought it was also interesting that he talked about attacks that have been carried out by groups in iraq and syria, attacks that have been targeting us bases in those countries. and also he talked about the attacks that have been carried out by the houthi rebels in yemen. and all these groups are part of this so—called axis of resistance, which is this alliance of forces in the middle east that is supported by iran. so he was sort of taking up the position as leader of these alliance by talking about the actions that have been carried out by those groups across the region. and he said that these attacks are likely to continue because the americans are not putting pressure on israel to stop the war in gaza. and again, he talked about how iran is giving support to those groups,

military support, political, financial support, but that he also said that iran is not the force that is deciding how these groups are going to act. so, again, we�*ve been talking about what is happening along the lebanon—israel border for weeks now and fears that the violence there could escalate and this could become another front in this conflict. live now to amman where i�*m joined by the norwegian refugee council�*s regional head of advocacy — samah hadid. the israeli military has said they are not targeting al—shifa, they said it is a corridorfor are not targeting al—shifa, they said it is a corridor for people who want to leave, they say there are just clashes around the hospital, what are you hearing?

we are hearing horrifying reports of relentless attacks on gaza hospitals, including al—shifa, reports that babies and civilians who are seeking life—saving treatment and medical care are currently trapped, under attack, and those being treated or seeking shelter in hospitals have nowhere else to go at the moment. the other announcement is that to that ministry of health in gaza has said that 39 babies in incubators at a hospital are at risk of death after generators are stopped working at that hospital. already we have seen thousands of innocent children killed in this conflict. our message is that these attacks on civilians and civilian infrastructure needs to stop. do you believe that israel is breaking international law? international law is very clear, that civilians must be protected,

civilian infrastructure must be protected in hostilities. medical facilities that are providing treatment of the sick and wounded have special protection under international humanitarian law, and that must be respected in all circumstances. we need all parties to this conflict to respect international humanitarian law, and ensure that civilians are protected. but beyond that, we need a ceasefire. enough is enough. too many children have been killed, too many children have been killed, too many civilians have been killed in this conflict, we need the international community to put an end to this suffering. that is all we have time for, that�*s good to hear from you, that is all we have time for, that�*s good to hearfrom you, thank that is all we have time for, that�*s good to hear from you, thank you. if you want more details on what is happening throughout the day we have a live page at and running on the bbc news website, where we are covering every development, minute

by minute. stay with as here as well 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. 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. an estimated 300,000 people take to the streets of the british capital, in the largest pro—palestinian rally of its kind since the war in gaza began. police officers clash with what they describe as counter—protesters, more than 90 people have been arrested. doctors say patients at gaza�*s biggest hospital have died and others are at imminent risk amid the israeli offensive. french president emmanuel macron calls for a ceasefire and tells the bbc israel must stop killing civilians in gaza. police in london say that around 300

thousand people have marched through central london in support of palestinians. it was one of the biggest demonstrations in britain in recent years and took place with a heavy police presence. it started a few hours ago at hyde park, moving slowly towards the us embassy. it followed days of controversy about the march and comments from the home secretary, suella braverman, who said the police are biased in favour of pro—palestinian demonstrators. it took place a few hours ahead of armistice commemorations. the metropolitan police say the two minutes silence, which look place at the cenataph in whitehall, was marked �*respectfully and without incident�*. but, as you can see from these pictures, officers have face aggression from counter—protestors who include some far—right groups. scuffles broke out as police attempted to stop them from reaching an area. the group pushed through as officers hit out with batons. police say objects were also thrown at officers.
