and former us first lady rosalynn carter dies, two days after entering hospice care. i'm sumi somaskanda. great to have you with us. we start with several key developments on the war in the middle east. the israeli military has released cctv footage it says shows two hostages being taken by hamas to gaza's biggest hospital. the idf also released footage which it says shows a 55 metre—long tunnel, beneath al—shifa hospital. here you can see the tunnel shaft entrance among the rubble of the hospital complex. a spokesman for the israel defence forces, daniel hagari, held a press conference, where he outlined details of what he said the israeli military had found at al shifa hospital.

i will now share concrete evidence for hostages. one from the pole one from inaudible. after ruthlessly massacring and taking people hostage, the terrorists fled to al—shifa hospital, they went to the hospital to hide. here you can see hamas terrorists drove back from the massacre. this is an israeli militaryjeep they brought into the hospital. i want to repeatjust brought into the hospital. i want to repeat just to brought into the hospital. i want to repeatjust to make everybody understand. they are bringing an israeli jeep, a militaryjeep, into the hospital compound. a place terrorists should not enter. they are entering with the militaryjeep. anotherjeep, another israeli military vehicle entering into the

al—shifa hospital, using the al—shifa hospital, using the al—shifa hospital, using the al—shifa hospital is a human shield shelter, bringing military equipment to the vicinity of the hospital. click. this is 7th of october, 10:55am. the evidence i will share was sent by israel to diplomatic channels to the countries of those civilians. here you can see hamas taking a hostage inside the vicinity. he even doesn't look to need treatment, but they're taking him inside the hospital. i will now share this video that shows the same hostage entering into the hospital with the gunmen, terrorists inside the hospital. this is the main entrance of the hospital.

click. this is at 10:55am. they are entering another hostage, gunmen are entering another hostage from those countries i mention into the vicinity. the terrorists are guarding the room. we have not yet located both of these hostages and rescued them. we have not yet located them. we do not know where they are. there still hostages we need to rescue. 31 premature babies were evacuated from al—shifa, after the world health organization described it as a death zone. they're expected to be transferred to egypt via the rafah crossing on monday. doctors at the hospital say eight other babies have died. here's the director general

of the palestinian health ministry in gaza. translation: we found that even i the water with which their baby l formula was made was polluted. it wasn't sanitised because sanitisation was not available, and that caused vomiting, diarrhoea and weight loss. instead of gaining weight, they lost weight, and that caused them severe harm. some of them had sepsis and severe inflammation. we began a quick resuscitation process for them as soon as they arrived at the hospital. they also had low temperatures. they hadn't been kept warm. we usually assign one nurse to every two or three babies, but the medical staff was greatly reduced due to the siege around the al—shifa hospital and the staff's inability to change shifts. there were severe shortages in medicine, like antibiotics, other solutions and food, and that was banned by the occupying powers from reaching the al—shifa medical complex. it took hours of work and coordination.

the medical staff — that's one doctor and the four nurses who were with them — finally arrived. the final number who came to us was 31 babies. there had originally been 39, but eight babies died, the final two of which died in the al—shifa medical complex. some of the babies are in critical condition. one of them is on a ventilator. there are some who are in critical, others in medium conditions, some who are stable, whose health condition allows them to be fed directly with baby formula or through tubes. meanwhile there are indications of progress on a deal to free some of the 239 israelis being held hostage in gaza by hamas. qatar's prime minister spoke to reporters in doha and said only minor obstacles remain in the way of reaching a deal. it's not really about a specific thing that i can comment yes or no about it. but the challenges that remain in the negotiations are very minor compared to the bigger challenges.

they are more logistical, they are more practical, and i believe that with the willingness of both parties to engage and to have this deal moving, we can reach a deal. we have been focused in the past four or five weeks now in these negotiations, we tried every way, all possible ways, in order to ensure that civilians are released. and we treat all human beings all the same. civilians are civilians, whether they are from the israeli side or the palestinian side. as we mentioned in several occasions, ourfocus is to make sure that the release is happening safely and there are also the humanitarian issues of the gaza strip to be addressed in that deal. voters in argentina have picked their next president — far—right libertarian javier milei.

the election comes as the country's worst economic crisis in two decades as argentina faces some of the highest levels of inflation in the world. mr meili has vowed to put an end to the decline of argentina. he's an economist whose anti—establishment rhetoric has gained him a loyalfollowing, especially among young voters disillusioned with traditional politics. he has promised to replace the local currency, the peso, with the us dollar, and said he would "blow up" argentina's central bank. his opponent, sergio massa — the country's left—wing economy minister — had won the first round of voting. here's mr massa conceding earlier. translation: obviously, the results are not - what we expected and i have contacted javier milei to congratulate him and to wish him luck because he is the president that the majority of argentines elected for the next four years. and i did it convinced that the most important thing we have to leave with the argentinians tonight is the message of coexistence, dialogue and respect for peace. in the face of so much violence and disqualification, it is the best path

we can take. the white house congratulated mr milei on his win. and in the region, brazil's president luiz inanacio lula da silva posted on x: colombia's president gustavo petro said: live now to bbc mundo�*s veronica smink. very good to see you. we mentioned some reactions in the region. tell some of the reactions you're seeing. here in argentina _ reactions you're seeing. here in argentina people - reactions you're seeing. here in argentina people were - in argentina people were waiting for the last minute to see what was going to happen. inaudible as you can imagine inaudible as you can imagine inaudible the two offered a different perspective inaudible

the first to have an office in the east wing. rosalynn and jimmy married in 1916. injuly, the pair celebrated their 77th wedding anniversary, extending their run as the longest—married presidential couple in the nation's history. rosalynn died peacefully at her home in plains, georgia with herfamily by her side, the couple's non—profit human rights organisation the carter center said. she was 96 years old. i wasjoined earlier by our our north america correspondent shingai nyoka for more. we have seen tributes pouring in. tell us more what have you seen? absolutely and those tributes have been very heartfelt. remembering her legacy as someone who was dedicated to public service. some of them have come from president biden who said that she championed equal rights and opportunities for women and girls and that she was a supporter of unseen and uncompensated caregivers in families. and those tributes have also come from across the aisle, with former president donald trump and his wife, melania, also highlighting her legacy of what they referred to as "extraordinary

accomplishments" and national service. they said she was a devoted first lady and a champion for mental health. michelle obama talked about the fact that she had groundbreaking work to combat stigma when it came to mental health. a lot of these tributes have been about her major legacy which is her work in the area mental health. tell us more about her legacy and how you think rosalynn carter is being remembered? one of the words that i heard is that she was an activist, and activist first lady. which was very unlikely because she was described as very shy, southern girl, southern baptist upbringing, but she was very passionate about what she believed in, and so whenjimmy carter came into office, he sent her off to south america as a human rights envoy and she was widely criticised for that because she did not have an elected role but she really carved out

a niche for herself in the white house. as you said, she established that office where she championed the cause of de—stigmatising mental health, and this was in the 1970s when people really did not talk about issues of mental illness. she also talked about caregiving. she attended briefings in cabinet and she also was the second first lady to appear before congress to talk about...to campaign in the cause of caregiving. and so, really, in office, very active but even after they left office, they volunteered for habitat for humanity, spent a week a week every year — and i remember this — building homes all around the world, affordable homes for people that were disadvantaged and that co—founded the carter center. so a really illustrious life and i think universally people are agreeing that she real was well loved globally. a remarkable legacy with all

of those accomplishments. the former president jimmy carter is also in hospice care. at this point, what do we know about his health? it is not clear but he is 99 years old and he entered hospice long before she did but he has probably paid the most moving tribute about his wife, he described her as a woman who gave him guidance and encouragement when he needed it and he said as long as rosalynn was in the world he knew that he was loved and supported. so a huge loss primarily to him. and it really was their relationship that's been highlighted as well, right, that they have such a strong and loving relationship for so many years. absolutely, 77 years of marriage. and at some point, people would say that they did not know where jimmy carter ended and where she began and he would often quote her in the white house during his meetings with his advisors so he really leaned on her and is probably grieving the most today. remembering the legacy of former first lady rosalynn carter, our reporter

shingai nyoka. mrs carter leaves behind a legacy of firsts. my colleague helena humphrey spoke to journalist and author kate andersen brower, who has written multiple books on america's first ladies. thank you so much for being with us on bbc news. rosalynn carter has passed away at the age of 96. as first lady, she was very much someone who paved her own legacy. tell us about that legacy. her own legacy. tell us about that legacy-— that legacy. she was a remarkably _ that legacy. she was a remarkably active - that legacy. she was a | remarkably active first that legacy. she was a - remarkably active first lady, she was the second first lady to ever testify before congress, eleanor roosevelt was the first. she testified on behalf of mental health reform. rosalynn carter was really ahead of her time in that way because we talk about mental health today, this was the 19705. health today, this was the 1970s. people were not talking about mental health in the same

way she believed it should be treated as any other disease. and she could passionate about. she —— she cared passionately about it. she was also the first first lady to work on the east wing officer before her, they would work in the residence upstairs in the right house —— white house and also one of the first first lady is to insist on a private lunch with her husband every week so she could talk to him about problems she was seeing when she was out campaigning, she was incredibly involved and i think under appreciated because she paved the way for activists, first ladies like hillary clinton. a remarkable legacy. i want to touch on something her husband jimmy carter said about her. he said, "rosalynn was my equal partner in everything "i ever accomplished. "she gave me wise guidance and encouragement when "i needed it." they are the longest married presidential couple. tell us about that partnership? it was a beautiful thing to see. i interviewed them at their

home in plains in 2018, and they sat next to each other on kind of lounge — you know, comfy chairs, like anyone would have in their living room. this is a tiny town in georgia and it's where they both grew up and the house is just a ranch house, completely unassuming. and the two of them could finish each other�*s sentences and i thought one of the interesting things about our conversation was president carter was very guarded. he was not a grudge holder. it was rosalynn he was the grudge holder in the family. —— it was rosalynn who was the grudge holder in the family. she always thought it was the biggest mistake that a husband did not win re—election. and so, when i asked them about donald trump, president carter said, "well, ronald reagan lied too". and rosalynn at one point kind of playfully tapped him on the arm and said, "jimmy, this is totally different." you know, so she had a way of being blunt and outspoken

and it's really incredible because she was a shy girl growing up in the south. you would never have thought she would rise to prominence and the level of self—confidence she ended up having and just how politically astute she was. talking about that shy girl growing up, she was nicknamed the steel magnolias, wasn't she, by the press? she came from humble beginnings and yet nevertheless was always involved in political campaigning, off and on, solo trips. campaigning, off and on, solo tris. ,, . , trips. she was, when the president _ trips. she was, when the president was _ trips. she was, when the president was dealing i trips. she was, when the i president was dealing with the iran hostage crisis, it was rosalynn carter out on the campaign trail tirelessly for him. she actually liked it more than he did. neither she nor president carter grew up with much money. the steel magnolias nickname she actually grew to like because she said steel is tough and magnolia is southern and i am both of those things. she was at camp david. she was often in cabinet meetings. at the white house. at camp david

she actually sat in on meetings. she was kind of a notetaker meetings. she was kind of a noteta ker often, meetings. she was kind of a notetaker often, taking more than 200 pages of notes. she befriended saddam's wife for this kind of personal relationships you built and it was that idea to have that famous summit at camp david because she thought it would be a private place for the israeli and egyptian leaders to meet and egyptian leaders to meet and that's one of the most historic lasting peace accords in that region ever, so she deserves an awful lot of credit. �* , . credit. and she entered hospice care earlier _ credit. and she entered hospice care earlier this _ credit. and she entered hospice care earlier this month - credit. and she entered hospice care earlier this month after i care earlier this month after being diagnosed with dementia in may and of course president jimmy carter also in may and of course president jimmy carteralso in in may and of course president jimmy carter also in hospice care, something that's important to them both? she has worked a lot _ important to them both? she has worked a lot on _ important to them both? she has worked a lot on caregiving, i important to them both? she has worked a lot on caregiving, she i worked a lot on caregiving, she took care of her father when she was young and he passed away and then her mother and i think the two of them are so very close, that they were there until the very end. it says a lot. the work that the

carter centre has done, you really cannot overstate her dedication to the carter centre, she travelled to north korea, sedan, cuba, monitoring elections along with her husband and then when i met her, she really welled up, she got emotional, talking about their work to eradicate river blindness and getting these diseases that if it were not them, many more people would be dying from, so it's a very real dedication that they both had together and also, to habitat for humanity, so you could talk quite a long time about their contributions to the world, really. contributions to the world, reall . ., ., ., contributions to the world, reall. . . ., , really. kate, a real pleasure to speak _ really. kate, a real pleasure to speak to _ really. kate, a real pleasure to speak to you. _ really. kate, a real pleasure to speak to you. thank i really. kate, a real pleasure to speak to you. thank you. | a hat worn by napoleon bonaparte when he ruled the french empire in the 19th century has sold at auction in france for $2.1 million, which is around 1.9

this is the moment the french capital lit up in celebration of the holiday season. crowds gathered along the champs—elysees to witness the event. the lights will stay up into the new year. all right. that's how show at this hour. thanks so much for watching bbc news. stay with us. hello there. the weekend has been pretty cloudy, but mild — temperatures of 15 degrees in the warmest spots on sunday. we had some rain as well. you can see some of that working across the skies here in gower, near swansea. and a bit more rain to come as well. the same area of low pressure's still with us, so damp weather for northern england, southern

and central scotland, northern ireland. the rain not particularly heavy here but some heavier rain pushing across southern wales and southern counties of england over the next few hours. a mild start to the day on monday and we pick up that band of rain working into the south—east quickly monday morning before clearing out of the way. what follows again is quite a lot of cloud. the winds coming in from a northwesterly direction and they'll be bringing some showers into wales and south—west england with more persistent outbreaks of rain across the north—east of scotland. in between, it does stay quite cloudy but some breaks in the cloud every now and then. a bit of sunshine, particularly for east anglia, south east england and probably brightening up in northern ireland through the afternoon as well. temperatures still on the mild side at 12 or 13. for wednesday, we start to see a ridge of high pressure build in from the north and with that comes the prospect of some bigger breaks in the cloud, particularly across southern and central scotland, northern ireland, north west england, north—west wales as well. elsewhere, quite a bit of cloud. the thickest cloud for the far north of scotland, where a weather front will start to move its way back in. our temperatures close to average, though, on tuesday.

it will be a slightly cooler kind of day. wednesday, we've got some warmerair coming around the top side of our area of high pressure behind this warm front and with fronts crossing scotland, it's here where we'll have the thickest cloud. outbreaks of rain. it's going to be quite windy as well. the heaviest rain for western scotland. the rain probably not amounting to too much across eastern scotland. drier further south for southern eastern wales, the midlands, east anglia, southern counties of england — that's probably where we'll see the best in the breaks in the cloud in the cloud, the best of the day's sunshine. temperatures around 11—14 degrees so, again, it's mild. now, towards the end of the week, we are going to see some more significant changes as a cold front dives southwards and starts to introduce some much colder air. question marks how far south this cold air gets and exactly how cold it will be when it arrives. however, it does look like we'll all see a significant drop in temperatures and it could get cold enough to see some snowfall over the mountains of northern scotland, so one to watch. bye for now.
