by the americans. all this raises the ghosts of 1948 for palestinians, when more than 700,000 of them fled or were expelled byjewish troops as israel won its independence. israel never allowed them home. two of the gaza hostages were in new videos. hanna katsir blamed benjamin netanyahu, israel's prime minister, for their plight. so did yagil yaakov, who's 13. hostage videos are usually made under duress, so the bbc is not broadcasting them. and across the west bank, the other side of the occupied territories, more palestinians were killed as armed groups fought israeli raids. the gaza war is igniting the west bank. the israeli army's reprisals included the destruction of roads and infrastructure. existing tension and hatred have been deepened. the danger remains of the war spreading across the middle east. in yemen, the houthi regime, an ally of iran, posted more videos of attacks on israel with missiles and drones. so far, they've all been intercepted by american and israeli air defence systems. muhammed ali al—houthi, a senior man in the regime, gave the bbc an interview from yemen's capital, sana'a. he said islam legitimized attacks on israel, which he called "the entity". do you think the war here in gaza and israel can spread elsewhere in the region? translation: if the americans and the british and the french l continue backing this entity, or to participate in the war alongside this entity, this would be a normal response and result of the american and european attacks and movements. there are people who say that you're attacking israel because iran told you to. translation: we in yemen en'oy freedom and democracy more b than the british people are given these days, jeremy. the british people these days are unable to express themselves freely. the secretary of state, ie home secretary, is calling to stop all demonstrations that back palestine. where is the freedom and the democracy that you enjoy in britain? not a straight answer. they were digging through the ruins in khan younis, part of the area of gaza israel has ordered civilians to get to. what is certain is the dispossession and loss suffered by palestinians caught up in israel's war to crush hamas. they might have dreams of home. many already know that israel has turned their homes to rubble. jeremy bowen, bbc news, southern israel. live now to our correspondent, shingai nyoka, in washington. i wonder if you could start with what we know of the details of these pauses? is it clear? , ., ., . ., clear? yes, to a certain extent _ clear? yes, to a certain extent. the _ clear? yes, to a certain extent. the state - clear? yes, to a certain - extent. the state department held a briefing earlier, where they said the first corridor actually opened a few days ago. it allowed thousands of people to move from the north to safer areas. a second corridor has now been negotiated, and that will open along the coast to allow more people to move. but i think it has to be stressed that no area, really, in gaza is safe, but what the us is saying is that israel need to abide by some of these rules of international law. what we understand is this agreement came after weeks of pressure from the us, weeks of negotiations with president biden saying that he really stressed the importance to israel of opening up this humanitarian corridor. what he's done now is he's been able to formalise this agreement, this corridor, the two corridors will be open for four hours every day, and there will be a three hour advance warning about the timings. there will be no military operation in those specific areas. the us has also been quick to emphasise that this isn't really a shift on israel's part, and that this is not a ceasefire, this isjust to allow civilians caught up in the fighting to move, as well as to allow humanitarian aid to come through.— as to allow humanitarian aid to come through. there has been a lot of criticism _ come through. there has been a lot of criticism of _ come through. there has been a lot of criticism of some - come through. there has been a lot of criticism of some of - come through. there has been a lot of criticism of some of the i lot of criticism of some of the targets israel has been striking. we have seen some of those striking hospitals. when you say allowing gazans a move to safer areas, what do we know about just to safer areas, what do we know aboutjust how to safer areas, what do we know about just how safe to safer areas, what do we know aboutjust how safe they to safer areas, what do we know about just how safe they are? to safer areas, what do we know aboutjust how safe they are? i about just how safe they are? i think there really has been an emphasis by the united nations on the need for a ceasefire. just to go back to president biden, to a certain extent he has expressed frustration that this is just hours long pauses. he had wanted days long pauses. but he said at least this has happened, even though it had taken longer than he hoped. there really is a sense from america of frustration about israel's responses. as you mention, hospitals have been targets. and while some people will be able to move to those areas, those in hospitals will not be able to. and america is really seen as an advocate for israel on the international stage, but it's increasingly becoming difficult to defend some of this bombardment, heavy bombardment witnessed in the northern parts of gaza as well. thank you very much. the prime minister is facing calls to sack his home secretary suella braverman, who openly defied downing street over a newspaper article, in which she accused the police of bias. ms braverman contrasted the police response to aggressive right—wing protesters, which she described as "rightly stern", with what she called "pro—palestinian mobs", who she said were "largely ignored". 0ur political editor chris mason reports. those in charge here at the home office command one of the great offices of state — home secretary. the latest tenant here, suella braverman, approaches the job with a bluntness unlike any of her predecessors. writing in the times, she says... so close, yet so far apart — look at their body language the other day. a penny for what it would look like now. rishi sunak�*s spokesman said number ten had not signed off suella braverman�*s article, so she undermined his authority and divided her party. it's right that the home secretary should suppine secretary should opine on the way the police do theirjob, especially on these important matters, and what we are seeing here, i'm afraid to say, as the home secretary says, a double standard. not deliberate — i don't believe it's intentional, but there's what you might call an unconscious bias. i think she's gone overthe line. - it's part of a history of ill. judgment and loose words. and of all the jobs _ in government, home secretary is one of those where you have to be particularly careful. - two clear views from the back benches, and then this from a cabinet minister deploying multisyllabic vocabulary to say... diddly squat. suella's a friend of mine, and one of the things i know is that being home secretary, having seen a number of other friends do the job, is a tough and pressurised job. but do you agree with her? well, again, i...would not want to interpolate myself into that conversation. but one minister was willing to be more candid, and ultimately critical of the home secretary's view. the veterans minister encourage people to come encouraged people to come here to the cenotaph in central london this weekend, and added... i've always found the police without fear and favour, they do a really good job, they have a really tough job at the moment, particularly with what's going on. the key context of all of this is suella braverman has form when it comes to saying stuff that delights some and leaves other people's jaws on the carpet. there was this, last month. the wind of change that carried my own parents across the globe in the 20th century was a mere gust compared to the hurricane that is coming. and here is how she describes the pro—palestinian marches. to my mind, there's only one way to describe these marches. they are hate marches. and mrs braverman said some homeless people live in tents as a lifestyle choice. the labour leader was asked if she should be sacked, and said, "it's not my call". i think the question really is for the prime minister. he must know that this isn't the way in which a home secretary should behave. he's got a home secretary who is out of control and he is too weak to do anything about it. the job's not finished yet, there's still a lot more to do. well, it might be, you know. what does rishi sunak do next? and is suella braverman�*s critique of the police reasonable? chris mason, bbc news, at westminster. let's get some of the day's other news now. the father of liverpool footballer luis diaz has arrived home after being released by colombian guerrillas. police sources say the left—wing national liberation army kidnapped luis manuel diaz 13 days ago, in the family's hometown, barrancas. the footballer�*s mother was also seized, but freed within hours. the guerrilla group later described the kidnapping as "a mista ke". australian television

productions engaged in gender discrimination and retaliation against de niro's long—time employee graham chase robinson. de niro himself was not found to be personally liable of abusing ms robinson, and denied the allegations. kj matthews, a freelance entertainment reporter, has reaction to the verdict. what's interesting is, i think people are getting lost in translation — she wasn't fired. she quit robert de niro's production company. and then he filed suit first — after he filed suit, then she filed suit. so her verdict is coming before his. but, yes, it is some some sort of reputational damage. they did not find him personally liable, but they said his company, canal productions, was liable for the gender discrimination. so, yes, i think people forgot these different trials were going on, because they've been going back and forth for a number of years. but it is a surprising verdict with her walking away with $1.2 million, ruled against him for him to pay her in two payments. it appears to me that perhaps the jury found that there was some truth to what she was saying. remember, she did initially request, i think, around $12 million. so she actually requested more than $1.2 million, but was only awarded $1.2 million. but both sides actually made accusations. she said during the trial that there were many times that she was asked to do stuff that she shouldn't be doing. she said at one point that he asked her to scratch his back and she said, "why can't you just use a back scratcher?" he said, "because i want you to do it". 0n the other side, you had robert de niro testifying and his girlfriend, who is a mother of his youngest child, six—month—old baby, basically saying that they bumped up her income from $100,000 to $300,000 and that she misappropriated funds and used thousands and thousands and thousands of dollars of frequent flyer miles that weren't hers, and that she had aspired to do more and go further than what her position was. so both sides were making allegations at one another. and at one point, i'm told that robert de niro actually raised his voice and kind of screamed when he was on the stand testifying. so it's been quite a tense situation, testifying all week long. and finally, we have this verdict today. to iceland next, where thousands of minor earthquakes have raised fears of a possible volcanic eruption. one of the country's most popular tourist attractions has been closed for a week over the concerns. 0ur reporter nicky schiller is in the newsroom with more. this is iceland's blue lagoon, a geothermal this is

buenos aires next march. stay with us here on bbc news. coming up shortly, the biggest stories from the business world. hello there. the weekend is just around the corner and it could be cooler, but quieter. more details on that injust a moment. but for friday, we still got some showers around and they�*ll be a real nuisance first thing in the morning across wales and south west england, driven along by some strong to gale force gusts of winds on exposed coasts. the good news is that�*ll push those showers through at quite a pace, moving south of the m4 corridor during the early morning and probably clearing the kent coast before lunch. behind it, quite a clearance, some sunny spells coming through. the winds still coming from a northerly direction, that�*ll drive in a few showers across exposed coasts of scotland, northern ireland and maybe running down through the irish sea. but temperatures generally a little bit more subdued than of late. we�*re looking at 7—12 degrees as the overall high. now, into the start of the weekend, it looks likely that saturday will be mostly fine and dry — there�*ll be some sunshine around. there will be some rain on sunday, but into the west and it will take its time. frost and fog could be an issue, too. so with this little ridge of high pressure building on saturday, hence the reason the quiet start, the wind direction still coming from the north — a cooler source. so temperatures are going to be struggling a little, but there will be plenty of sunshine. early morning fog will lift, sunshine come through and highs again peaking between 6—11 celsius, generally, across the country. now, as we move out of saturday into sunday, that frontal system starts to push in from the atlantic. it�*s going to take its time in doing so, but it will throw in a little bit more moisture into the atmosphere. so there�*s a greater chance of some more dense fog which could linger. so early on sunday morning, if you�*re heading out for remembrance services, it�*s certainly worth bearing in mind that it could be chilly and it could be pretty murky. widespread fog, some of that pretty stubborn to clear away. and if that does happen, the temperatures really will be impacted. there will be some rain by the end of the afternoon out to the west as well, highs of 6—11 once again. now, as we move into monday and tuesday, we�*re back to more of a south—westerly wind and more frontal systems pushing in from the atlantic, which means it will get that little bit milder once again. but unfortunately, there�*s going to be showers or longer spells of rain returning for most of us. that�*s it. have a great weekend. live from london, this is bbc news. 0n the brink of recession, but can the uk avoid a downturn? figures out shortly
