hello, and welcome to bbc news, i'm lukwesa burak. there are strong signals that the temporary ceasefire agreement between israel and hamas, due to end at midnight monday, could be extended. the agreement so far, has led to hostages seized by hamas being freed, in exchange for palestinian prisoners held in israeli jails, and an influx of much—needed aid into gaza. president biden has also said he's working to keep the pause in fighting extended beyond monday. 14 israelis and three foreign nationals who were being held hostage in gaza have been released during sunday — the third day of the temporary

truce with hamas, whilst 39 palestinian women and children were released from israeli prisons as a part of the hostage deal between israel and hamas. today's releases brings the total number of hostages released during the window to sa and the number of prisoners freed to 117. let's take a closer look at some of the hostages released by hamas today. among the group are sisters, dafna and ela elyakim. they were attacked at their home in kibbutz nir oz. the girls were part of a family group whose capture was live—streamed by the hamas attackers themselves. also for the first time, an american—israeli citizen was released earlier today. abigail idan was just three at the time she was taken hostage — she spent her fourth birthday in captivity. her parents were killed by hamas gunmen during the october 7th attacks. her great aunt and cousin said

they hoped and prayed today would come, and expressed graititude to president biden, the qatari government and other parties involved in helping the release. they also said today's release "proves that we can get all the hostages back home." the israel defence force spokesman daniel hagari said the release of four—year—old abigail was "proof this is a justified war, "fighting against a cruel enemy". the israeli prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, who earlier visited troops inside gaza, spoke to president biden. mr netanyahu told the us president that at the end of the truce, israel will resume the operation in gaza with "full force". here's our senior international correspondent, orla guerin, with the latest.

rejoicing in israel after the darkness of recent weeks. the latest group of hostages, three from gaza, waved to supporters as they were welcomed home. —— freed from gaza. israel and hamas asked signalling that their deal could be extended to three more of those being held. for reunions like this, after 50 days apart, the young hostages, finally home. emily mapped embraced by her father, thomas, who at one stage believed her to be dead. now she is free, and said to be doing well. yesterday we finally got emily back from hamas, the guards and terrorists. she has lost a lot of weight from her face and body,

according to the hamas run health ministry. many in the international community fear what is to come, if israel's bombardment resumes. 0rla guerin, tel aviv. my colleague, anna foster, is in tel aviv with the latest. the day actually began with, i think, more of a sense of anxiety than we'd seen for the last few days, because yesterday's exchange on day two was delayed for quite a few hours, and it was only the very early hours of the morning when we finally got confirmation that the second group of israeli hostages had been released and the second group of palestinian detainees in israeli jails had been freed. so when the day began, i think people were hoping for it to be a lot more smooth. i think more than, more like what they'd seen on on friday than on saturday. and things did seem to progress according to plan. there were some early suggestions

once again about foreign passport holders that would be released alongside the next group of israelis. and then we heard from various groups that that handover had taken place of “1 israelis in this particular group that were handed over to the red cross, as has happened for the last three days. what was slightly different this time, and we heard it discussed in a briefing from the israel defence forces, was that in previous days, the handover of israeli hostages from hamas to the red cross had happened in the southern part of gaza. but today it happened in the north and that is the area where the fighting is at its most intense. it's the area where, in fact, palestinians in gaza have been told to move away from. they've been told to move to the south of the strip. and there had been, i think, a lot of discussions in the last few weeks about where those hostages were being held, many of them in that tunnel network underneath gaza. and i think there was also

the expectation that those hostages, still more than 200 or so of them being held in gaza, were being held in different locations as well. and we heard from the us president, joe biden, that his was the first confirmation that actually the israeli hostages today did not leave through the rafah crossing as they have done for the last few days into egypt and then into israel, because one of those released hostages today, we're told, was ill and needed quite urgent medical treatment. so for the first time, the group of israeli hostages actually passed directly through into israel near kibbutz beri, which was one of the kibbutzim that was attacked on the 7th of october. they have all now been received in israel. they are going to various medical centres in the country to receive treatment. and then not long after that, we saw the final piece of the jigsaw each day, which is the release of palestinian prisoners who are being held in israeli jails, 39 of them all today,

we were told, aged under 18. what we don't have as part of this exchange, and it's the same on both sides, we're not seeing the release of men. we're seeing only women and children. also, in terms of the palestinian detainees, we're not seeing the release of anybody who's been convicted of murder. the people who are being exchanged for those israeli hostages have been accused or convicted of crimes ranging from stone throwing through to attempted murder. and then again, we saw once night fell, we saw a bus, a white coach moving from 0fer prison in the occupied west bank through the beitunia checkpoint and on to deliver those 39 palestinian minors back home, many of them going to occupied eastjerusalem, we're told, this evening, where families have been told by the israeli authorities that public expressions of celebration are not allowed to happen. so that is what has has gone on today. it's been the third day

of this four—day deal. and i think there will again be relief on both sides that the choreography, the logistics all went smoothly and as planned. well, as part of those logistics was also the aid that was allowed into gaza. could you just take us through what was received? that's right. so this deal makes allowances for more humanitarian aid than has passed through since the war began on the 7th of october. and we've seen more than 200 trucks a day of aid go from egypt into gaza. interestingly, one of the delays yesterday was that hamas were unhappy with the amount of aid that was reaching the north of the gaza strip. and we're told today that that more than 60 aid trucks did go north and take additional humanitarian aid into the north of the strip. also, again, a key part of this was fuel, because that is something that was not included. you remember when the rafah crossing first opened to trucks once again and israel made it very clear that

fuel was not something that they wanted to pass pass through, because they felt that hamas would take that fuel, not give it to the humanitarian population and use it instead in their efforts against the israeli military. but as part of this deal that was hammered out by qatar, eight tankers every day — four containing diesel and four containing cooking gas have been passing into gaza. that happened again today. we saw long queues, particularly in rafah. we saw people taking their containers to be filled up. there was one gas station actually that had to close altogether because it was so overwhelmed with the queues of people who arrived to try and get some of that aid. and it is notjust been fuel, it's been food and water, the basics, things like medical supplies as well. and i spoke a little earlier to james denslow from save the children uk, and he described a little bit more about that additional humanitarian aid that's been going into gaza and whether or not it actually meets the need there, particularly in

the north of the strip. the aid will be life—saving in its nature because that's the kind of aid that is needed right now in gaza. will it be enough? n0~ _ and i think we need to be very matter of fact about that. over the last few days, we've had some incredibly positive scenes of children being reunited with their families. obviously, tracking images of trucks crossing borders or fuel being turned on to supply into gaza isn't as dramatic. but it is, of course, important for whether tens of thousands of people survive or not over the coming weeks as winter heads towards gaza. so we know that the current the average of trucks that went into gaza was some 500 ahead of the awful events, awful events of the 7th of october. that number during this four day, five day truce period is far, far less than that. it's some 300 and that number hasn't been reached on any single day yet.

so between the gap of what aid is needed and what trucks can actually deliver is, unfortunately, human suffering. just remind us, james, as well, because this wasn't a humanitarian crisis in gaza which began with those events on october the seventh. many civilians living there were already living in desperate conditions, weren't they? it's such an important point. some 80% of the population of gaza, of whom half are children, were dependent on humanitarian aid prior to the events of october. we estimate that number is now up to 100% dependency. but of course, if you look at the type of aid that's being prioritised going into gaza over the last few days, this is bottled water, this is food. this is essential medicines. this is the very sort of basic materials you need to survive. but as we look into the wider need, it is complete. as your report said, this is an unparalleled amount of damage that has happened over the last few weeks, and therefore you need an unparalleled aid response, not one that is limited

so much by the politics of adults, if you will. and aid access is a right. it's not a privilege. and i think we shouldn't forget that. so that was the head of conflict and humanitarian at save the children uk, speaking to anna foster earlier. and as you can see, anna joins us now. so anna, what can we expect over the next few hours and certainly into tomorrow? well, tomorrow is going to be another key day because it is the fourth of a four—day deal. and i think there is a lot of expectation, there is a lot of hope that things will progress smoothly and there will be a lot of questions about what happens next. and i just want to show you actually the view here in tel aviv. now, i'm in hostages square in tel aviv. and you can see there on the wall of the tel aviv museum of art. we've watched over the last few days these projections of hostages. and you can see there at the bottom in english, "i am back home". so these are the group that have just been released on day three,

but also as well as these images, we do also see the images of those many hostages who remain in gaza as well. and that is absolutely crucial because the deal, as it stands, only made provision for the release of 50 israeli hostages and 150 palestinian prisoners over this four day period. now, there were provisions put in place for that to potentially be extended. israel had said that for every ten further hostages who were released, they would be prepared to agree to an extra 211 hours of ceasefire. the list of palestinian prisoners that was published, because it has to be legally published here in israel, so people can object to it. that's something that's actually enshrined in law here. and that list was not of 150 names, but 300, again, laying the groundwork for a possible extension. and we've just heard in the last few hours that hamas have been giving indications, they say that they may be open to the idea of an extension of several days, perhaps two to four days. i also remember egypt

saying yesterday afternoon that they were hearing some positive, positive movements towards a potential extension of the truce. so that will be the key tomorrow. will this four days pass as it is supposed to? will the ceasefire continue to hold? will the humanitarian aid continue to pass into gaza the way it's supposed to? and will we see the final release as planned of the israeli hostages and the palestinian prisoners? and if that all goes to plan, the next question will be, can this truce be extended? qatar have said publicly on more than one occasion that they hope that it can. humanitarian organizations have been very vocal about the fact that they hope that it can. even the us, the us president, joe biden, he was speaking earlier, particularly about the release of abigail idan, the four—year—old us israeli citizen. he was talking about the potential extension as well. so i think there will be a lot of attention paid tomorrow to what is going on behind the scenes as we wait to see

if this four day deal, this four day truce can be extended and can lead to a longer period of ceasefire, more humanitarian aid and an extended exchange of hostages and prisoners. as we heard earlier, among the group of hostages released today, was four—year—old abigail idan. she has dual israeli—us nationality. speaking earlier, us presidentjoe biden gave an update on her release. two days ago, one of our fellow americans, a little girl named abigail, who turned four years old. she spent her birthday, that birthday and at least 50 days before that, held hostage by hamas. today, she's free. andjill and i, together with so many americans, are praying for the fact that she is going to be all right. you know, she's free and she's in israel now. and so those who are now wrapping

abigail in love and care and the supportive services she needs, she's been through a terrible trauma. you know, her mum was killed in front of her when a kibbutz was attacked by hamas terrorists on october 7th. abigail ran to her dad then, who then was gunned down. gunned down as well, while using his body to shield little abigail. she then ran to a neighbour for help where they were all taken hostage. that entire house and neighbours were taken hostage by hamas and held for 50 days. what she endured is unthinkable. abigail was among 13 hostages released today from gaza under the brokered and sustained though intensive us diplomacy. she's now safely in israel and we continue to press and expect for additional americans will be released as well. and we will not stop working until every hostage is returned

according to its deal with hamas, for every israeli hostage freed from gaza, three palestinian prisoners are released from israeli jails. no adult men, nor anyone convicted of murder, are being exchanged. but the detainees' charges range from throwing stones to attempted murder. bbc arabic news' muhannad tutunji spoke to one of those convicted of a more serious crime as she was reunited with her family amid a police presence. her first footsteps as a free woman. 211—year—old marah bakeer is one of up to 150 palestinian prisoners being released, as part of israel's deal with hamas to bring its hostages home from gaza. translation: i feel emotional. it's a very good feeling. but also, we are very sad because this deal came following the death of many innocent people, and this makes us unhappy and uncomfortable. bakeer is back home with her family in eastjerusalem,

after being sentenced to eight—and—a—half years for a knife attack on a border police officer in 2015. translation: | only | heard i was going to be released this morning. i couldn't believe it. even when i was getting taken here in the police car. even when i saw my dad. i still can't believe it's not a joke. many palestinians view the prisoners as victims of israel's occupation. sawsan bakeer has been campaigning for her daughter's release. i asked her what it feels like to see her daughter sitting on her couch for the first time since she was a teenager. translation: my happiness has come back with her. - she has brought thejoy back into our home. finally, ourfamily is together again. israeli police told the prisoners' families to sign documents promising not to celebrate their release.

the picture in the west bank, policed by the palestinians, is very different. among the singing and chanting in the capital, ramallah, were some hamas flags. all this comes in the context of the effort to free israeli hostages. around a dozen a day are being driven across from gaza to egypt, then airlifted to israeli hospitals to meet their families. muhannad tutunji, bbc news arabic, jerusalem. i spoke earlier with lucy willamson who is in occupied eastjerusalem where many of the palestinian prisoners released have arrived home this evening. we now understand that all of the palestinian prisoners have arrived back home. today's group were all fairly young. we were told that they were all 18 years and under. there was a “1—year—old included

in that group, as well, and many of them came from eastjerusalem, have come back here. they are obviously under a blanket ban, here in eastjerusalem, no celebrations, the families are not allowed to do any big public celebrations, no fireworks, no handing out of sweets, and they are also not supposed to talk to the media either, although, having spoken to families on the west bank over the past couple of days who have also received back prisoners from israeli jails, the mood amongst many families is not really one of absolute celebration. there is a lot ofjoy at having their family members back but there is also conflicted feelings about the situation in gaza and a lot of worry about what is going to happen once this four—day truce is over. lucy, what sort of reaction has there been, or, rather, tell us more about that statement from hamas. we heard tonight both hamas and president biden talking about the possibility of extending the ceasefire. president biden being very encouraging about that. and we also have a statement from hamas saying that they have

indicated their willingness extend the ceasefire, we think, by two to four days. there is a senior palestinian source, who is familiar with the negotiations that are ongoing at the moment, he has told the bbc that hamas has signalled it is willing to add another two to four days onto that ceasefire, which would mean, potentially, 20—110 more israeli hostages released, it says, because, under the terms of the agreement initially, signed by hamas and israel, every extra ten hostages would mean another day of ceasefire. at the moment significant that president biden has stepped into this discussion. we haven't yet heard from israel that they are willing to consider it. as you said, we heard from president biden earlier and he mentioned continued discussions with mr netanyahu, also egypt's president sisi and the emir of qatar, so just how complex have

these negotiations been? they have been very complex. qatar has been key, as a country that has relations with all parties in this dispute and again, they are playing a very key role in seeing what margin there might be to extend the ceasefire but of course israel has been adamant all along so far that this is a temporary truce, and it will restart the war, it will restart the bombardment of gaza afterwards. prime minister netanyahu was in gaza today reiterating that point, and the defence minister, as well, has said that any negotiations will take place underfire. the united nations has confirmed that 129,000 litres of fuel crossed into gaza on sunday. these are pictures from rafah in the southern gaza strip, where hundreds of people queued throughout the day for fuel. this was just one petrol station where the sheer number of people

trying to fill up fuel containers forced it to close. the united nations says 61 lorries of aid — which included food and medical supplies — also reached northern gaza on sunday. stay with us. a few thought sunday was a cold day, well done, go to the top of the class. it was really cold across large areas of the uk. temperatures in inverness got to the november average, which is now on, but the question is, will it snow this week? stay tuned for the answer to that one. it is cold at the moment because we have this northern latitude blocking. high pressure in the arctic is sending cold air our way. it is going to stay cold all week. low pressure has been bringing

rain. through monday it will pull away to the near continent. still some wet weather to come across eastern england and some showers across north—eastern england and scotland and the best of any sunshine will be in the north—west the uk. wherever you are at hope you go through the afternoon the temperature is around six ounces. as we go through monday night, that area of low pressure pulls out of the way. sky is clear, wins fall lighter and you are looking at a widespread frost developing in the countryside. that takes us into tuesday, a completely different day. lots more in the way of sunshine after that gusty start, showers across northern and eastern areas with colder air working in here, and we will see some of snow showers working in shetland down to sea level and across mainland scotland, the snow combine two modest hills. a similar picture to wednesday. a mostly dry day with sunshine after a cold, frosty start and again there

is showers, some of which will fall wintry across the north—east of the uk. another cold one, temperature is below average for the time of year. thursday, looks to be a particularly tricky day, with a balance of cold rain or snow. low pressure coming up from the south, we could see some rain turning to snow across the hills of southern england with wintry showers across the north—east of the uk as well but this area of low pressure might be further north and more intense bringing more snow into parts of wales and the midlands, with those wintry showers across the north—east, still. still across the north—east, still. still a bit of uncertainty back thursday has potential. what i do know is that it has potential. what i do know is thatitis has potential. what i do know is that it is going to stay cold for a long time yet.

this is bbc news, the headlines... “1 israeli hostages and three foreign nationals return to israel on day three of the four—day pause in fighting in gaza — hamas says it's ready to extend the truce agreement with israel. among the “1 israelis released on sunday, nine children, including a four—year—old girl with dual us—israeli nationality. joe biden confirmed her release earlier. as part of the current truce deal, 39 palestinian detainees have been released by israel, returning to celebrations in the west bank.

and also today... tributes to the former england player and manager, terry venables, who has died aged 80. more now on our top story. in the last hour one of the hospitals who have received israeli hostages today has held a news conference. dr efrat bron—harlev, chief executive of schneider children's medical center, spoke to the media. in the past 118 hours, the schneider children's medical center of israel has been fully enrolled to the care of the children and the mothers and the family members who have come to us. about an hour ago, nine children and to mothers finally arrived and

they are at the best and most caring hands of our staff. these are thrilling days for us. and i would like to take this opportunity to thank the wonderful team of our hospital. they are the best professionals, but even more importantly, compassionate team that i know. i would also like to thank the idf for their great team that is working with us. their professionalism is important to us in the care of the returning hostages. the physical condition of the children and the mothers that came to us is now stable. they are undergoing a medical and emotional evaluation by the medical and psychosocial team of the schneider

children's hospital. they are in a private and dedicated complex and we ask you to respect their privacy. the staff is also helping us to treat all the mothers in cases that are necessary for that. we feel that the whole country is to gather with us here. here at our children's hospital at schneider. it is important for me to say to all the fathers, the mothers, the children all around the world and here in israel, that we are doing everything to protect all of our patients here at schneider. we are giving the best medical and emotional care that is possible for them. this event is a national mission and we are feeling proud and privileged to take care

of the returning families, children and their mothers. our hearts are with the hostages who remain in the gaza strip. and their families that are here. we sincerely hope that very soon they will come back home, they will be free again and live a healthy life as soon as possible. urges the chief executive of the schneider children's medical center speaking earlier. the palestinian foreign ministry has condemned a shooting in the us state of vermont, in which it said three palestinian students were injured. in a statement the ministry stated that the men sustained "severe and moderate" injuries during the shooting. in a post on x, the head of the palestinian mission to the uk, husam zomlot, shared this photo naming the injured victims as hisham awartani, tahseen ahmed and kinnan abdalhamid.

he said the group of friends had been on their way to a family dinner when the shoooting happened. our north america correspondent, shingai nyoka, has more. police in burlington, vermont, responded to reports of gunfire near the university of vermont campus at about 6:30 last night. they say that three young men were wounded and after they were shot two of them are in a stable condition and one is in more serious condition. they say that they were just walking around the campus and a man just walked up to them, didn't say a word and opened fire, firing four rounds from his handgun. now, three of these, the three men were of palestinian descent. two are us citizens and one is a legal resident. they say that two of the men were wearing the palestinian scarf,

the kufi around their necks. and so, while they haven't really identified or confirmed a motive, they are looking into this as a possible hate crime. what we have heard from the american arab anti—discrimination committee is that there has been an increase in the number of threats against palestinians and arabs. shingai, so that's reaction from some of the organisations. more widely, what sort of reaction has there been to this tension? well, i think there's just, there's a lot of criticism about the impact that this has had. the fbi has said that there's a historic rise in levels of anti—semitism, but also in islamophobia. the white house, which set up a committee to try to look into these issues of islamophobia, has also expressed concern. the country is on a general level of alert around specific areas,

buildings like synagogues and mosques. what we understand, though, is that the white house has been briefed about this particular incident. the fbi is aware of it. but at this specific moment, they're not looking at it or investigating it as a hate crime. and there was a shooting earlier, in the past few days of a six—year—old boy that was attacked as well. quite a vicious attack. well, that actually happened in october. that was one of the first deaths that came about as a result of this conflict between israel and gaza. it was a six—year—old boy in chicago who was stabbed 26 times. he was of palestinian descent. his mother was critically wounded. and the landlord is now charged with murder and attempted murder.

but we've also seen a rise in the protests and in the clashes between the two groups, those that support palestine and those that support israel. one man, ajewish man, was killed in one of those clashes. and so there's a real concern here that what's happening across the ocean is having a considerable impact on domestic security here in america. meanwhile, in london, earliertoday, tens of thousands of people marched against anti—semitism — the first demonstration of its kind since the israel—gaza war began. our reporter anisa kadri was there. uniting against anti—semitism. some of those marching said they didn't feel safe. at the school my son goes to, there has been racist graffiti. i have to think twice about whether i feel comfortable bringing my kids on the tube on the weekend into london. social media has been absolutely vile. as you are jewish, you are...

..almost, like, trying to hide your identity. there were some famous faces there as well, including presenter rachel riley, actress maureen lipman and former prime minister, borisjohnson. meanwhile, english defence league founder, tommy robinson, who was asked not to attend by organisers, was arrested. the message is that the uk is a tolerant, diverse place where all minorities and ethnicities are accepted. many people are here to raise concerns about the anti—semitism jewish people say they are experiencing on the streets of the uk. you can also hear people chanting, "bring them home," referring to the hostage situation. hamas continues to hold large numbers of israeli hostages. some people raised concerns about anti—semitic chants and placards at pro—palestinian demonstrations in london. it is something the met police say they are cracking down on, whilst stressing

that the majority of these recent protests take place lawfully. protests take part lawfully. anisa kadri, bbc news, london. now, a few weeks ago we reported on a cancelled graduation ceremony for disabled students from the islamic university of gaza. nine of the university's buildings were destroyed in early october. the israeli army said the university was being used as a training ground for hamas engineers. one disabled student who would have been graduating was able to get this message out to her professor here in the uk, who sent us these images and audio. hiba is a visually impaired student who partook in a media programme in co—ordination with the university of birmingham. let's have a little listen. translation: displacement for people with disabilities is completely _ different, especially while evacuating during the night. do we hold ourselves or carry others with us? in the first evacuation, we had to sit in the stairwell of our

building forfour hours. in the second evacuation, they told us to leave the whole compound. hiba, a student with visual impairment, speaking there in an audio clip sent to us by her professor here in the uk talking about the difficulties she's had evacuating with her disability. into other world news now. the all—day curfew in sierra leone is set to be lifted from succes on monday morning. on tuesday, though, a new night—time curfew will begin every day from 9pm until 6am until further notice. sierra leone had been placed under a nationwide curfew as armed men broke into a prison, setting inmates free. flights to and from the nation's only international airport have been cancelled.

sierra leone's information minister, chernor bah, told the bbc the security forces were apprehending suspects. he said some of the assailants were in military gear, but it was too early to say whether there had been an attempted coup. it remains unclear exactly how many inmates broke out of central pademba road prison. let's return to our top story. now, back to the israel—gaza war. young or old, tiktok or x, your social media feeds are unique to you, but could they be shaping how you view the conflict? the bbc�*s disinformation and social media correspondent marianna spring has been investigating. social media algorithms, which recommend what content which recommend content to you, seem to be driving some users towards increasingly divisive posts about israel and gaza. which can shape public opinion. i've been told some mps are receiving a huge influx of messages, including from young people. others are worried about hate online. let's start with tiktok videos. here, from israeli soldiers,

these videos seem a bit more polished, trying to play into viral trends. meanwhile, videos from bloggers in gaza and pro—palestinians at home, seem to trigger a more positive reaction from young users. tiktoks using the hashtag #istandwithisrael have racked up more than 2110 million views overall, compared with more than 870 million views for videos using the hashtag #istandwithpalestine. similar to other video—based sites with younger users. one israeli soldier called daniel makes tiktok videos like this one, with 1.1 million views, but, since then, his views have decreased significantly. daniel has had support, criticism, and anti—semitic abuse. he said... "i am not taking personally the hate reactions "because first of all, i did nothing wrong. "second, people around the world are so dedicated to hate "israel, it doesn't matter what is in my content." pro—palestinian creators like ariana share their views from their bedrooms, like she does, in the us. she experienced criticism and islamophobic hate at first, but then that changed.

people started following me, they started discovering me, and so the numbers started shooting up. i have received more engagement on tiktok and have had multiple videos received more thani million views. both creators say that their content hasn't been sponsored. questions remain about whether the israeli government or hamas, which is prescribed as a terrorist group by the uk government, is involved in encouraging unofficial content. when users are pushed to more content concerning their views, extreme ideas can gain traction. confirming their views, extreme ideas can gain traction. you can see here how tiktok blocks the search term "letter to america", and that is because, on the app, several young users began to share and praise part of osama bin laden�*s "letter to america", his justification for the 9/11 attack. without mentioning its anti—semitic or homophobic content. tiktok said that there are only a small number of these videos, which it has removed, and interest has amplified on other sites. tiktok have also said, "our recommendation algorithm "doesn't take sides and has rigorous

measures in place to prevent "manipulation." and it has removed 1.1 million videos from the region promoting hate and terrorism. professional pro—israeli content, including videos about hostages, is having a significant reach on x, formerly twitter, a site that is popular with politicians and journalists. clips of released palestinian detainees seem less popular on x than tiktok. posts shared there by the state of israel's official account racked up over 110 million views between the i6th—2ist of november, compared to around 200,000 views for the official account by the palestinian mission to the un. x has been accused by politicians and celebrities of allowing the spread of hateful and misleading content under its new owner, elon musk, which he and the company have denied. social media feeds give us a window into what is happening in the war, and they are shaping views worldwide. you can read more online now and listen to the new global stories podcast on bbc sounds.

still on the israel—gaza war, we've been getting more pictures of reunions that have been taking place between relatives and hostages who have been released over the past three days. this is the moment last night that the avigdori family was reunited at the sheba hospital after the release of the mother of the family, sharon hertzman avigdori, and her i2—year—old daugher, noam. many of these videos now starting to be released by the various families and also in coordination with the idf. the former england football player and manager, terry venables, has died at the age of 80, after a long illness. venables, a charismatic and sometimes controversial figure, led england to the semi—finals of the european championship

in 1996, where the host nation lost on penalties to germany, famously. he managed a number of clubs, including tottenham and barcelona, where he earned the nickname, el tel. andy swiss reports. he brought the feel—good factor back to english football. at euro �*96, terry venables took his team tantalisingly close to glory. cheering after dazzling their way to the semifinals, england's hopes ended in heartache. but for venables, it was the defining moment of a remarkable career. and how old are you now? so, football is your whole life? 16. so, football is your whole life? yes. you want it to go on being your whole life? yes. and so it proved. that teenager was soon knocking in goals for chelsea. but it was as a manager that venables truly blossomed. in 1982, he guided queens park rangers to the fa cup final. singing.

before a stunning move to barcelona, where he won the spanish league title and earned the nickname el tel. visca el barca! next came tottenham, where he lifted the fa cup, before a clash with chairman alan sugar and controversy over his business dealings saw him sacked. but in 19911, england came calling and venables's coaching prowess reached its peak. 0h, brilliant, oh, yes, oh, yes! at a european championship on home soil, his team made it all the way to the semifinals, carried on a wave of national euphoria. crowd sings three lions. agonisingly, defeat to germany on penalties ended their hopes. oh, no! but venables had given the fans an experience they and he will never forget.

youngsters, of course, don't remember it too much, but their fathers will tell them all about it sort of thing. but it is, they do come up and they say, that is the best feeling we've ever had. and it's just a shame that it just wasn't to be. turned out all right. yeah. but it could have been better. but you can't take it away from me. despite his popularity with the fans, venables's business dealings remained under scrutiny. he stood down from england after the euros, managed australia, and also leeds united, before a brief return to the england setup as an assistant to steve mcclaren. but it's as a colourful and charismatic leader that he'll remembered. perfecto. and as the man who brought english football one of its most famous sons.

——of its most famous summers. terry venables, who died at the age of 80. police in south—eastern bangladesh say they've detained dozens of rohingya refugees attempting to set sail to indonesia. officials said the 58 refugees would be sent back to refugee camps in cox's bazar. the refugees — who've fled violence in neighbouring myanmar — say the security situation in the camps has worsened and they want better lives elsewhere. about 1,000 ethnic rohingya refugees have arrived by boat in the indonesian province of aceh over the last week. well, one other story this hour. recent changes to parts of the uk's climate policy are expected to face scrutiny next week, as world leaders descend on the united arab emirates for the cop 28 climate summit. the talks — which are being hosted

by one of the world's leading oil—producing nations — will cover a range of issues, including the phasing out of fossil fuels and renewable energy targets. here's our environment correspondent, jonah fisher. ? welcome to our wind farm. bigger and better technology has turned wind power into one of the cheapest ways to generate electricity. but when these huge blades start turning in bedfordshire, this will be just the second onshore turbine to be completed in england this year. it's tough. it's very tough. onshore wind is being left behind in the uk's renewable revolution. planning regulations make it almost impossible to build a turbine on english soil. why do you think politicians are making it so hard? we're actually completely baffled, to be honest. they're cheap, they're safe, we produce home—grown energy — what's not to like? offshore, it's very different.

huge wind farms — this one is the size of greater london — are being built in the north sea. increasing amounts of solar mean that in the last year renewables in the uk generated more power than burning fossil fuels. the uk has a well—earned reputation as a leader on climate change — a country that's notjust talking about transitioning away from fossil fuels towards renewable energy, but actually doing it, at some speed. but under rishi sunak, the tone has changed. the talk is now not so much about the opportunities of a cleaner, greener, economy, but of new oil and gas exploration, softening net zero targets and keeping costs down. the last few months, i think the uk has looked flaky. lord stern has advised both labour and conservative governments on climate change. he says the uk's backsliding has

been noticed around the world. i travel a lot to work with india, to work with china, working with the eu, the united states, and i'm constantly now, over these last months, asked the question, "what is going on in the uk?" "aren't they so committed any more?" hearing no objections, it is so decided. the tone was very different two years ago, as the uk chaired cop26, the global climate change negotiations, in glasgow. with the new round of talks starting in dubai this week, the government says jobs and energy security justify drilling for new oil and gas, and that since 1990 no other major economy has cut emissions faster. camilla born was part of the uk's negotiating team in glasgow.

the fact that we've chosen to say, "we're going change things up, "we need to take a different kind of tack is very confusing of tack" is very confusing and not consistent with the leadership we have shown and that will make it more difficult for us in the negotiations. reputations aren't lost overnight, but the uk's language on climate and energy has changed, and the world has noticed. jonah fisher, bbc news. to one of the biggest events in the literary calendar. in the last hour, the booker prize forfiction has been awarded to the irish writer, paul lynch, for his novel, prophet song, which depicts an ireland in the grip of a totalitarian state, and shows a family coming to terms with a new reality of secret police, disappearances and state—sponsored violence. our culture editor, katie razzall, is at the ceremony and sent this report. hello from old billingsgate.

this is the book that won the booker prize this year, prophet song by paul lynch, and i'm delighted to say paul lynch is with me. congratulations. how does it feel to be taking this home for ireland? it feels quite surreal, unreal, to be bringing this prize home. to a country where modern greats like anna burns and john banville have won it. i don't quite believe it, to be honest with you. well, you have won it, with this novel, this dystopian novel about ireland, set in the future, potentially, which is sliding into totalitarianism. the judges said they were looking for something timely that would also endure, and i wonder as you watched last week the events unfolding, the riots on the streets of dublin, you thought that your book was very timely? the book is much further along, shall we say, in the process of realisation. in terms of the events the other day, it is small, but you can see where it can lead to. in my own case, i think the counterfactual is really important, to write something that

can ask questions about the now in the future. very many congratulations again, paul lynch. thank you. thank you all for watching. katie razzall at the booker prize. stay with us, we will be here with you, have a good night. hello there. if you thought sunday was a cold day, well done, go to the top of the class. it was really cold across large areas of the uk. really cold. temperatures near inverness got 0.11 celsius. the november average is 9. with cold air in place, the question is, "will it snow this week?" stay tuned for the answer to that one. it is cold at the moment because we have this

northern latitude blocking. high pressure in the arctic is sending cold air our way. it is going to stay cold all week. low pressure has been bringing rain in recent hours. through monday it will pull away to the near continent. still some wet weather to come across eastern england and some showers across north—east england and east scotland and the best of any sunshine will be in the north—west the uk. wherever you are it'll feel cold through the afternoon the temperatures around 6 celsius. as we go through monday night, that area of low pressure pulls out of the way. skies clear, winds fall lighter and you are looking at a widespread frost developing in the countryside. that takes us into tuesday, a completely different day. lots more in the way of sunshine after that frosty start, showers across northern and eastern areas and with colder air working in here, we will see some of snow showers working in to shetland down to sea level and across mainland scotland, the snow confined to some modest hills. a similar picture to wednesday. a mostly dry day with sunshine after a cold, frosty start and again those showers,

some of which will fall wintry across the north—east of the uk. another cold one, temperatures well below average for the time of year. thursday looks to be a particularly tricky day, with a balance of cold rain or snow. a couple of scenarios. low pressure coming up from the south, we could see some rain turning to snow across the hills of southern england with some wintry showers across the north—east of the uk as well, but this area of low pressure might be further north and more intense, bringing more snow, even into parts of wales and the midlands, with those wintry showers across the north—east. so still a bit of uncertainty, but thursday has potential. what i do know is that it is going to stay cold for a long time yet.
