the hostage situation in gaza and he said that, he said the release of hostages being held by hamas is going to happen. he said hang in there, we are coming, that was his message to the families of those hostages. let's speak to the former prime minister of israel who joins lot live from central israel. thank you for talking to us. let me ask about the hostage situation, growing pressure from families of the falsities in israel, and a five—day march from jerusalem, they don't think there's enough being done to get a hostages hook home, do you agree with them? i get a hostages hook home, do you agree with them?— agree with them? i think the government _ agree with them? i think the government is _ agree with them? i think the government is working - agree with them? i think the government is working hard | agree with them? i think the i government is working hard to agree with them? i think the - government is working hard to get hostages home and there i plan pressure and hitting hamas hard because ultimately hamas calls the shots. and the deeper and more

painful the blow they get, the quicker we will get a deal. i spoke to one family _ quicker we will get a deal. i spoke to one family member _ quicker we will get a deal. i spoke to one family member of - quicker we will get a deal. i spoke to one family member of a - quicker we will get a deal. i spoke l to one family member of a hostage, his name was leo perry, his half—brother danny was murdered on october seven and his father is a hostage, and he said clearly that he believes the government needs to park whatever it is thinking in terms of hamas and concentrate on getting the hostages back, is that a feeling that you think many families of hostages have right now? the pain of hostages have right now? the pain of other family _ of hostages have right now? the pain of other family that _ of hostages have right now? the pain of other family that has _ of hostages have right now? the pain of other family that has a _ of hostages have right now? the pain of other family that has a hostage - of other family that has a hostage under high mass, these animals that have raped a woman's and dismembered parts of bodies and showed the worst cruelty and savagery that we can imagine, no one can understand the pain these families are going through. the question of how to accelerate the release of hostages

is a very completed one but what we have learned is that the more pressure, the more pain we inflict on the terrorists themselves, the quicker there will be a deal. let's talk about the _ quicker there will be a deal. let's talk about the international sure israel is under in terms of trying to allow some humanitarian aid into gaza, joe biden has said gazan hospitals must be protected rishi sunak has said talking about the terrible suffering of palestinians in gaza, seen too many civilians are dying, and the un chief has said he is deeply disturbed by the dramatic loss of life in several hospitals in the gaza strip. how long can israel withstand this pressure from global leaders who effectively allies of israel and are saying there needs to be some sort of humanitarian pause to allow help, aid, if water and

food to help civilians in gaza? i think the massive death is appalling and hamas is responsible for this death because the place hospitals on their terror bases. in fact, they convert hospitals to become terror bases, just yesterday in one hospital we discovered a huge ammunition centre with explosives, bombs and whatnots. it's a children's hospital, so hamas is killing its own people and i think it's appalling and the world is to pressure hamas to stop using its own people. but pressure hamas to stop using its own --eole. �* ., pressure hamas to stop using its own --eole. �* . , , . people. but with all the respect, under international _ people. but with all the respect, j under international humanitarian law, even if people are being used in the way you see, as human shields, israeland

where hundreds of displaced people are now looking together, their struggling to cope with this weather as the rain is continued for the last half an hour, most people skip an underground, very little people manage to built—ins like this one. it is going to be a big struggle for those who are displaced, they are struggling with food and water for a long time and now they are struggling to get cover appropriate for this weather. a senior officer involved in the stephen lawrence murder case was corrupt, according to a secret metropolitan police report from the year 2000, uncovered by the bbc. it said ray adams was cleared by a corruption probe which relied on false testimony from a man linked to the family of one of stephen's killers. the revelation contradicts years of police denials about the role of corrupt officers in the case. daniel de simoney reports

the spectre of police corruption has long haunted the stephen lawrence murder. for three decades, scotland yard kept the secret we now expose. the met knew about it, that's what's so shocking. today we reveal a met police report concluded that a senior officer involved in the case, ray adams, was corrupt. the early failure to bring stephen's killers to justice has led to suspicion that corruption infected the investigation. the father of one killer was clifford norris, a gangsterfrom a criminalfamily known for suspicious contact with police. the public inquiry into the murder probed the issue. it didn't find corruption. somebody contacted us this morning... ray adams, a former commander, appeared as a witness. but i've now seen a secret scotland yard report into the stephen lawrence case that concludes ray adams was corrupt.

it says ray adams was cleared by a flawed corruption probe which relied on lies from an informant linked to the family headed by the father of one of stephen's killers. it says a totally fictitious account by the informant was used to discredit a witness against ray adams. the informant must have been coached by ray adams or another officer, and this amounted to flagrant acts of attempting to pervert the course of justice. the public inquiry into the murder didn't hear about this evidence from the informant. the barrister who represented stephen's family says the information would have been key. the met seem to have covered up the true nature of adams, so they must have known what he was really like, so that his reputation was protected. it would have made, in my view, a very substantial difference. the witness discredited by the informant was criminal james malone, who'd made comments apparently suggesting he'd paid ray adams.

i was on trial at the london sessions... the informant said that he'd heard malone boast of making false corruption claims about adams. but the secret report says this was a lie, there was no link between the informant and malone. i tracked down the other man said by the informant to have heard malone admitted making false claims about ray adams. the man told me he'd never seen or met malone and the met police have never even asked him about the informant�*s account. the secret report says there was no evidence ray adams influenced the murder inquiry. stephen's family now want further investigation by the met. the bbc is doing itsjob, investigating what happened in stephen's case. so there is a real need to look at this. and if there is a tiny scintilla of that happening, the met should take it up with open arms. ray adams says he's asked the met to appoint a senior officer to investigate the serious

allegations against him. the met didn't answer my questions. the force says it will review the material before deciding whether any further action is required. stephen's family want justice and the full truth. daniel de simone, bbc news. adamjohnson adam johnson was injured by skating a game. let's get live from our sports currents in sports currents when it. of what happened on that day question mark is was a tragic incident that happened three weeks ago now any match between the nottingham panthers and sheffield steelers. �* .,

out in front of 8000 spectators at the sheffield arena, sparked an outpouring of shock and tributes flooded in from around the world. there was a goal fun to be page later set up in his memory, that has no past around £80,000, believed that the nottingham panthers plane, the top level of i suck in this country, those games were postponed in the aftermath of adam johnson's death, most games have not resumed earlier in the month but the painters still haven't played since johnson's death, they argue against manchester storm this week and in an exhibition match which is billed as the adamjohnson exhibition match which is billed as the adam johnson memorial game. storm debi has wreaked havoc across all four nations of the uk over the past few days — with flights cancelled, roads closed and thousands left without power. it's the fourth named storm of the winter so far.

and what if i told you that a new ai tool can now predict big meteorological events — like debi — with greater accuracy than traditional weather forecasts? our climate editorjustin rowlatt has this report. the weather is one of the most complex physical systems on earth. learning to forecast it accurately has transformed the way we live. it means we know what to wear in the morning, of course, but it also saves lives by giving us warning of extreme weather like impending storms, floods and heat waves. the problem is traditional weather forecasts involve vast amounts of data and use some of the biggest supercomputers in the world. so it starts with about 800 million observations coming in every day. so those are from satellites observing the earth, they're from sensors on aircraft or buoys in the ocean. we then use our model to select which are going to be the most important. these are then ingested into a physics model, which then makes a prediction

for the next hours and days ahead. these models have been very successful, producing more and more accurate forecasts. ai takes a different approach. instead of trying to model how the world works, it learns how weather patterns evolve using historic data and bases its predictions on that, and it is getting very good. a new tool created by google deepmind now outperforms traditional medium—range weather forecasts on virtually all measures. it uses much less computing power and can produce forecasts in under a minute rather than in hours. the main advantage of this ai approach is that it's extremely accurate. it learns from decades of data and is able to be more accurate than the industry gold standard. a second benefit of an ai model is that it's extremely fast to make a prediction. it doesn't solve a complex equation, so it can make predictions extremely fast on a very small machine. the new tool, called graphcast, has proved particularly good at tracking big storms like hurricane lee, which hit the atlantic coast of the us and canada in september. the traditional forecast predicted its path six days ahead.

ai gave nine days warning, giving communities more time to batten down the hatches. but ai will never totally replace traditional numerical weather forecasting systems, say its designers, because the historic data it bases its predictions on is generated by those models. justin rowlatt, bbc news. ican hear i can hear my weather presenter colleagues breathing the site over the there. . colleagues breathing the site over the there. ., , colleagues breathing the site over the there. . , ., , colleagues breathing the site over the there. . , .,, . .,, the there. . king charles has chosen to mark the — the there. . king charles has chosen to mark the day _ the there. . king charles has chosen to mark the day by _ the there. . king charles has chosen to mark the day by marching - the there. . king charles has chosen to mark the day by marching a - to mark the day by marching a project for people facing food poverty. here is our royal correspondent nicholas witchel. a gun salute in london's green park,

"let no food be wasted" — that is the royal command as the king launches his birthday initiative, the coronation food project. i'll get a pallet for the chiller, yeah? every single day, as the king has seen himself, many tonnes of food from britain's retailers potentially go to waste. the king's initiative is to set up distribution centres to close the gap between food waste and food need. under his leadership, i'm seeing the food industry come together, retailers and manufacturers,

putting aside their competitive differences to focus on both reducing waste, but also increasing the amount of product that's circulated amongst the charities. so, a birthday with all the customary trappings, but which the king hopes will yield practical benefits. nicholas witchell, bbc news. hgppy happy birthday king charles, that's it for me, you were watching bbc news. hello there. good evening. some very unsettled conditions currently across the uk, but also some very mild air too, marked here in yellow on our air mass chart. the mild air moves away to be replaced with something a lot cooler as we head through wednesday, thursday and friday before it returns again into the weekend. some very unsettled conditions, wet and windy, but also turning a lot milder once more. now, this is the pressure chart from earlier on today. you can see these heavy, thundery showers clearing away from the south coast.

really quite blustery here. some rainbows spotted as things tended to brighten up from the west. still some showers across england and wales, but also some clear spells overnight tonight. too breezy really for any frost to form. there will be plenty of cloud, showery outbreaks of rain continuing across much of scotland, showers, too, for northern ireland. towards the north of scotland, in the sheltered glens and the clear spells there could be perhaps a touch of frost here into wednesday morning. so this is how we'll start off the day tomorrow. now, there are some very weak fronts, just gradually slipping southwards as we head throughout the day. that'll introduce, perhaps, a few showers into the north part of northern ireland through the afternoon, some showers, too, edging into lincolnshire. but to the north of that front there'll be lots of dry weather, some sunshine for the far north of scotland. the sunshine continues, and it should stay dry across much of england and wales, the winds will ease down, temperatures now much closer to the seasonal average. now, the dry weather in the south is not set to last because as we look out towards the atlantic two deep areas of low pressure approaching from the south and from the west. now still lots of uncertainty regarding thursday, but current thinking suggests that we're

going to see this rain across the south first thing, and there'll be more rain edging in from the west as we head through the afternoon. so we're all going to be turning wet and windy. it's going to be a pretty miserable picture, i think, by the end of the day. temperatures again, 8—13 degrees celsius. but friday will be a break between these systems. there should be a lot of dry weather around. the sunshine will last longest probably towards central and eastern areas. we look out towards the south west where there's another system approaching, again, highs of around 7—13 celsius. but those temperatures are set to rise, of course, as the wet the windy weather, the deep area of low pressure spreads in from the southwest. it's going to be a very unsettled weekend indeed with coastal gales, especially towards the west, plenty of heavy rain, but the temperatures will rise. bye— bye.
