Thanks very much elizabeth, inflation remained unchanged last month at 6. 7 despite expectations it would fall. Data from the office for National Statistics showed a drop in the price of food the first monthly fall for two years. But fuel prices rose. Our chief economics correspondent, Dharshini David reports. Dharshini david, reports. An uplifting start to this baby sensory class. But the bills these mothers have faced have been less cheering. The steep rise in the Cost Of Living has cast an unexpected cloud, despite rises in Child Benefit and Maternity Pay this year. I think that the Maternity Pay going up is a big difference. Its been a big jump in april this year, so i think that does make a big difference. But then, on the flip side, my Food Shopping is now so much more expensive, it doesnt actually balance out. There would have been a time when i probably would have been able to just stay at home with anna. But now im obviously going to have to consider going back to work next year, which is a real shame. Everything is so expensive. We do this and swimming, and then we havent really got money to afford to do other classes. They may be in for a boost. Its septembers Inflation Rate 6. 7 this time which typically dictates the rise in working age benefits. That would affect 9 million households in the spring. But ministers will have to decide whether to go ahead, for that increase equals {4. 1 billion from the treasurys coffers. Some of the bite is already coming out of inflation as food prices slipped between august and september, the first monthly decline in two years, and the governments aim of halving inflation this year might get some help. Energy prices, those which really ignited this crisis, are subsiding. A fall in the domestic price cap will push down the inflation figures next month. Headline inflation very likely will have a five in front of it, possibly next month, so its quite likely we get to the five if not slightly below by the end of the year. The problem then is the next halving of the Inflation Rate. Reason to cheer. Than a year ago and inflation far above the bank of englands target. It would still mean prices are substantially higher than a year ago and inflation far above the bank of englands target. Interest rates may stay high for a while. Dharshini david, bbc news. Amazon are planning to start using drones for deliveries in the uk from next year. It will use the drones in just one location to begin with. But for now, its keeping quiet on where that actually is. Amazons drones are already in the air in several parts of america. Our business correspondent, emma simpson, has been given exclusive access to see how the Service Works in a small town in california. You know what its like waiting for an online order, wondering when the van is going to turn up. But look into the distance. This ones coming by air. In the small town of lockeford, california, amazon is using drones to deliver packages to customers. And this service is coming to the uk, too. Jeff loves it. Its fun. I never thought id be getting packages delivered in my back yard. When you order it, we see it within 20 or 30 minutes. Its obviously quicker than having to run to the store when you order it, we see it within 20 or 30 minutes, so obviously quicker than having to run to the store and getting the stuff. What about the noise . The noise is a little loud, but it doesnt disturb me. Checks complete. Launching. So, how does it work . So, now, the exciting bit. Were the first to see Behind The Scenes at amazons launch facility. Heres a parcel going out. It cant be bigger than a shoe box, nor weigh more than 5 lbs. The drone can reach customers up to three and a half miles away. The rules are strict. Each flight is monitored, and there is a human eye and theres a Human Eye Keeping Tabs on it, too a flying robot that knows exactly where to go. How does it know not to bump into anything . So, our sense and avoid technology will observe a threat in the sky or on the ground, make a Course Correction and safely find a path to deliver to customers. Drones are never going to replace vans, but this is a glimpse of the future. Online deliveries in just minutes. And here, at this amazon site in seattle, a new drone is being unveiled. This is a drone coming to the uk. Its smaller, its lighter. It travels further and most. Importantly, its at least 40 it travels further and, most importantly, its at least 40 quieter than our previous drone. Is that safe . Its absolutely safe. It is hundreds of times safer than driving to the store. I just one location to begin with. Exactly how and where it can fly has still to be worked out. Well scale slowly. Well scale with communities, and well scale based on what our Regulatory Approvals are. Amazon believes the demand is there. Here in america, though, progress hasnt been quick, but its got big ambitions, aiming for 500 million global Drone Deliveries by the end of the decade. Emma simpson, bbc news, lockeford, california.

Lets return to our main story now joe bidens high stakes trip to israel, which was slightly derailed by tuesday nights devastating explosion at Al Ahli Hospital in gaza city. The Health Ministry says a71 people were killed and more than 300 others were wounded. The International Community has called for answers as to exactly what happened. The uk Prime Minister says the government is conducting an independent at investigation into events. I know the whole house will have been shocked. Events. I know the whole house will have been shocked. Any events. I know the whole house will have been shocked. Any loss events. I know the whole house will have been shocked. Any loss of have been shocked. Any loss of innocent life is a tragedy and everyone who have lost their lives in the family that they leave behind, we think of. We should not rush tojudgment before behind, we think of. We should not rush to judgment before we have all the facts. Every member will know that the words we say here has an impact be on this house. This morning, i met with the National Security adviser, but also the chair of the joint intelligence committee. Our services have been rapidly analysing the evidence to independently establish the facts. So, what can we establish with any certainty about who was behind the attack on the hospital . Our Diplomatic CorrespondentCaroline Hawley has been working with our colleagues at bbc verify. Ever since the explosion happened last night at around 7pm local time, the bbc verify team has been analysing all the images and video that have emerged. You can see where the hospital is located within gaza city and this footage shows what appears to be the Courtyard Car Park of the hospital in flames. Weve been able to establish that thats what it is from the shape of the buildings. Now, the Aljazeera Television station was broadcasting live from gaza at the time. You can see a series of Bright Lights in the air. We dont know exactly what these are. The Israeli Army Says there was a failed Rocket Launch by the Palestinian Militant Group islamichhad. Next, theyve been looking at daylight images taken this morning. Here you can see quite a lot of fire damage to the cars, but most our verification teams have looked at these images and can tell from the roofs and from other skyline details illuminated by the flames that it was in the main courtyard of the hospital. Next, theyve been looking at daylight images taken this morning. Here, you can see quite a lot of fire damage to the cars, but most of the buildings surrounding it are still mostly intact and standing. And theres actually a relatively small crater. Now, weve shown these images to a number of weapons experts. And while they couldnt come to a firm conclusion, several of them now, weve shown these images to a number of weapons experts, and while they couldnt come to a firm conclusion, several of them told us that if the explosion had been caused by the type of bomb normally used by israeli forces, the crater would have been bigger and there would have been more damage to the buildings. One way of trying to establish what hit this hospital is by studying bomb or Missile Fragments at the scene. But our team on the ground and the team here havent seen any. Now, look at this image we found from last night of two men searching through the crater we showed you earlier. The logo on their vest is from the palestinian police, from the explosive ordnance department. We dont know what, if anything, they recovered. The Islamichhad Movement Put out a Statement Today saying the explosion was caused by Israeli Aerial bombing and claiming that they have the remnants of the explosive head, but they havent yet provided any evidence of this. Whats not in dispute is that there were a very large number of casualties, according to palestinian officials. Mostly, we think of people whod been sheltering in the hospital from israeli air strikes, sleeping on the grass here. To establish the exact truth of what caused them, youd need an independent investigation, but thats not going to happen in what is an active war zone. Carolina holy there on the latest. What is life life on the ground . Laila barhoum is a policy and advocacy manager for oxfam. She has family in gaza. I spoke to her earlier and began by asking what theyre telling her and how they are doing. Through the few times im able to talk to my family through texts and a few calls, i can tell their level of fear is higher. Its getting more and more every day. And i think that what happened yesterday has been a shock for everyone and have increased the level of fear because seeing the scenes of civilians being killed has has shocked them. Palestinians in gaza saw that 4,000 civilians were having shelter in that hospital and then they were killed. And this is something that increased the fear, as i said. And at the same time, we havent seen any International Pressure during the last 12 days for cease fire. What is happening is really putting people under that same thought they had that theres nowhere safe in gaza. And we know President Biden visiting today. He said he has agreed with the israeli authorities that there would be aid allowed into gaza that would include water, food and medicine, but crucially, not fuel. And given the work that you do, just explain the importance of fuel, because we know it is used to power so many things. Yeah. To start with, we need to remember that the situation in gaza has always been dire because of the ongoing i6 years of a blockade. And the fuel is essential to make sure that theres electricity going to Different Service facilities, including hospitals that are dependent on generators to produce electricity. And more than that, we have also the waste Water Treatment plants that need fuel to treat sewage water before being discharged in the sea, which is now going untreated. Also, fuel and electricity is needed to make sure clean Drinking Water is going to people. Even if there is some water in the pipe, you need you need in the pipe, you need electricity to pump it out into the water, into the taps. And without electricity, people cannot keep food. Bakeries cannot produce bread. Its essential to have fuel inside gaza. The importance of that aid promised ljy the importance of that aid promised byjoe biden. In lebanon, hundreds of people joined a protest in the capital, beirut, organised by hezbollah a Political Party and militant group in reaction to the hospital attack. Elsewhere, Security Forces used tear gas and water cannon to control protesters demonstrating near the us embassy. The us has been targeted for criticism across the region for pledging unconditional support for israel in its war in gaza. Earlier, i spoke to the bbc� s anna foster, whos in northern israel near the lebanese border. She explained how tensions are escalating in the region. The protests a re the protests are the sort of thing that they travel around the world. That is what hezbollah want at this stage. These are some of their most Strike Supporters strident. They also went just out Strike Supporters strident. They also wentjust out of Strike Supporters strident. They also went just out of town to Strike Supporters strident. They also wentjust out of town to the us embassy and demonstrated there as well. But in terms of how that might shift for dial in this conflict, it doesnt do much at all. Itjust reminds people that hezbollah are there. What they are doing is more significant is what is happening here on the border between israel and lebanon. You can see lebanon behind in the far distance. Thats how close we are to the border. For the last few days, and increasingly in frequency as well. Hezbollah have been firing anti tank missiles into israel. Various communities it along the borders here. Its time each time israel responds with helicopters and fighter jets, time israel responds with helicopters and fighterjets, they will carry out air strikes on hezbollah infrastructure. This is particularly worrying notjust hezbollah infrastructure. This is particularly worrying not just for people in this part of northern israel, but also for world powers. You saw when joe israel, but also for world powers. You saw Whenjoe Biden was in israel early today, some of what he was talking about was deterrent the fact that there is a us Aircraft Carrier strike already group dominant in the eastern mediterranean. Theres another one on the way. When he made his speech, he made a very clear message. He said to any hostile actor or state he was planning to attack israel who was planning to, dont, dont, dont. Those were the words he used. If things inflame, then it really would move this conflict, this war to something that was a whole lot more serious. To something that was a whole lot more serious. ~. ,. , more serious. When that warning will be seen, more serious. When that warning will be seen. Warning more serious. When that warning will be seen, warning those more serious. When that warning will be seen, warning those hostile be seen, warning those hostile actors in his words. We already know the Israeli Military have said they are prepared to fright this war on many fronts. They say they are ready if it escalates. Of the question is, how significantly could escalate, given what weve seen . Given what weve seen . Well, it could be a given what weve seen . Well, it could be a huge given what weve seen .

If you take this in orderfor order in isolation advising a lot of the build up and i have seen if you look at hezbollah, strong ally of hamas, various governments around the world. But hezbollah is a lot bigger. It is also backed by iran, but have many more fighters. They have been active in syria, so who are well trained. Hezbollah� s firepower is considered to be more than what hamas has. That is the initial fear. Than what hamas has. That is the initial fear initial fear. Anna foster there. Much more initial fear.

Before leaving tel aviv dont speaking in tel aviv, he urged israelis not to be consumed by their anger. He spoke of how in the wake of the 9 11 attacks, america too was enraged, but made mistakes. � s visit has been somewhat overshadowed by that explosion in the hospital. In lebanon, hundreds of people joined a protest in the capital, beirut, organised by elsewhere, Security Forces used tear gas and water cannon to control protesters demonstrating near the us embassy. In response to the hospital in gaza yesterday. Next to the stage, thousands of men behind the section, lots of people carrying the palestinian flag. Also the yellow and green flag of hezbollah. This protest is happening also on the day that us President Joe Biden is visiting israel. Demonstrating american support for israel. There is anti american and anti israeli sentiment here. What hezbollah is going to do of this country. Announcement drown speech announcement drowns speech today, there was more exchange of fire. Lets Pay Attention to what hezbollah and the state will decide to do next. That was enough to spark protests across the region. How significant was that visit . Lucy williams and engaging. Israel is getting ready. Its target hamas. These drills include training in methods that avoid civilian casualties. Civilian casualties, but israel knows any Battle In Gaza will be messy. A tip today from the us president government anger shouldnt replace the rules of war. In this area fear shows up as empty houses, empty pavements. In this area, fear shows up as empty houses, empty pavements. Around 50 people were killed here. The mayor says they get 1,000 calls a night from residents who think they hear gunmen moving around. 18 year old daniel said israel is now a country of grief. He lost a close friend in the attack, two months before he starts his military service. Translation now i dont believe anything any politician says, until they put their words into action. People are afraid to leave their homes. If israel put down her weapon, the palestinians would kill us. If the palestinians put down their weapons, we could make peace with them. The Israeli Government said protecting their citizens the trauma left by these attacked his pressing on israels government. It said protecting their citizens means destroying hamas. Warns of the risk of that goal are outweighed by pressure at home. This man used to cook dinner for tel aviv� s elite, now it is for the soldiers. A far left Anti Government protester, he paused his criticism to support the war. Now theres a new opponent and a new national unity. We need to choose between our kids to their kids and right now. What do you mean . I say the churchill bombed berlin, he didnt ask to two to hitler, right, we have a war against a country, we have the right to fight them. The families of some of the hostages appealed to President Biden today. They say war is not the first priority. Israelis caught between the trauma of their wounded nation and the trauma of whether their looved ones will survive. Loved ones will survive. Lucy williamson, bbc news, southern israel. Thats it for me tonight. Regina is here next, but first, lets get the weather with tomasz schafernaker. Hello. Storm babet will be lashing the uk over the next few days, but id also like to make the point that the weather wont be bad all the time as this storm spreads from the south. Were also expecting the skies to clear in a few places. Sunny spells and mild weather can be expected, too. But lets focus on the rain, the biggest problem from this storm. But lets focus on the rain. The biggest problem from this storm a rare red warning in force thursday into friday for specifically angus and southern parts of aberdeenshire and the met office warns of even danger to life. But lets look at the rainfall first across the whole of the uk. So, this is the Rainfall Accumulation as the days go by widely 30 a0 millimetres of rain, but you can see around Eastern Scotland and the northeast of england here, potentially well in excess of 100 millimetres of rain. So, heres the forecast then through the night the weather fronts, the rain front associated with storm babet makes its Journey Towards the north. After a soaking evening across southern parts of the uk, actually, the skies may clear for a time through the early hours before further showers return. Its going to be relatively mild around 15 degrees in the south, 10 degrees in the north with the clearer skies where the weather will have been relatively clear until then. Now, through the course of thursday, that rain really starts to turn very persistent across Eastern Scotland. Its the East Southeasterly Gale that develops, even severe gale, and will keep pushing the Rain Clouds Towards Eastern Parts of scotland like a conveyor belt, so the rain will be falling in the same place all the time. So, heres the Amber Warning, because there are other warnings in force as well for other parts of scotland. In the north, across the highlands, we could have 100 millimetres of rain or so. This Overlapping Red Warning is for the severe gale on the coast of Eastern Scotland gusts of around 70 mph. But then, theres that red warning focusing on angus and southern parts of aberdeenshire, the red warning from the met office. Extensive flooding is possible. So, heres the forecast, then, for friday still that easterly wind pushing in the rain clouds, but notice that the concentration of heavier rain will now be across more central, southeastern and southern parts of england. And actually, across the north and the east of scotland, that rain should start to ease, but it may return by the time we get to saturday. Take care. Hello, im rajini vaidyanathan. Youre watching the context on bbc news. I was outraged and saddened by the enormous loss of life yesterday at the hospital in gaza. Based on the information we have seen today it appears the result of an errant rocket fired by a Terrorist Group in gaza. People are still collecting body pieces from on the ground. People are still in panic, people are still trying to understand what happened. Joe bidens presence here will only deepen the conviction among palestinians and millions of other arabs that america is not just on the side of israel, but that it is also complicit in Everything Israel is doing in gaza. I good evening. The us President Joe Biden has today pledged solidarity with israel, during a whirlwind eight hour visit. But, his trip was overshadowed by last nights blast at a hospital in gaza
