hello, i'm maryam moshiri. welcome to verified live. the head of gaza's biggest hospital says a mass grave is being dug for nearly 180 people, after it ran out of fuel. fighting between the israeli military and hamas continues around the al—shifa hospital. that's prompted growing international concern, with president biden saying he wants "less intrusive action". medical staff at al—shifa say the lives of 36 premature babies are hanging in the balance. this is an image of some of those children — made public by the hospital on sunday. it said they had been placed on a bed after the fuel ran out to power the generators to keep their incubators going. their current condition is not known, although a hospital spokesperson on monday said three of the original 39 babies had died. israel insists it is only targeting hamas, and that their command centre is in tunnels beneath the hospital. it has also released these images, which it says are of incubators which it is offering to supply to al—shifa hospital. but there is no indication yet that the medical equipment has been delivered. and in another development, israel's army has confirmed the death of a female soldier who was being held hostage by hamas in gaza. live now to southern israel and my colleague mark lowen. what more do we know about the fate of the soldier and indeed of those hostages are still being held in gaza? _, ., ., ., ., gaza? the confirmation of the death ofthe gaza? the confirmation of the death of the 19-year-old _ gaza? the confirmation of the death of the 19-year-old female _ gaza? the confirmation of the death of the 19-year-old female soldier i of the 19—year—old female soldier who it is being said was killed in an israeli air strike on the 9th of november was confirmed by the israeli defence forces this morning and they are said to have informed herfamily and that and they are said to have informed her family and that comes ready is a stark reminder to israel because micro—continuing trauma with the almost 240 hostages who remain under captivity and 1200 people who were killed in that surprise attack on the 7th of october which sparked this massive military retaliation over gaza. today, what has happened is a five—day march has begun from tel aviv to jerusalem by families of the hostages to pressure on benjamin netanyahu to do more to try to release the remaining hostages. that is a reminder really ofjust how difficult it is for israel at the moment because it is being pulled in one direction by families of the hostages to try to make sure they are released safely, in others by the international community which is growing in its outrage and, for israel to cease fire, that israel maintains it will only stop the fighting when there is a big release of those hostages. you alluded that to a deal and we still do not have any idea of a hostage release deal being finalised but talks at suggesting there could be a deal in the offing in which dozens of hostages are released by hamas in exchange for dozens of palestinians here in israel, but we have been here in israel, but we have been here several times in the past few weeks and it has not come to fruition so we will wait and see if thatis fruition so we will wait and see if that is finalised.— that is finalised. let's talk about what is happening _ that is finalised. let's talk about what is happening in _ that is finalised. let's talk about what is happening in gaza - that is finalised. let's talk about what is happening in gaza and i that is finalised. let's talk about - what is happening in gaza and those pictures that have been released by the al—shifa hospital with several babies lying on a bed. the hospital is saying the inca baiters cannot be worked properly because of a lack of fuel. —— the incubators. the problem is the hospital needs fuel to run generators. is the hospital needs fuel to run generators-_ is the hospital needs fuel to run aenerators. , . ., generators. yes, and the un in gaza which i spoke _ generators. yes, and the un in gaza which i spoke to _ generators. yes, and the un in gaza which i spoke to earlier, _ which i spoke to earlier, representative i spoke to earlier said that as the problem, they have the incubators but they do not have the incubators but they do not have the feel and they are so short of fuel they do not have fuel to pick up fuel they do not have fuel to pick up aid coming in from egypt. israel has, as you say, said it will send incubators and it has released an audio transcript which it says is a phone call between an israeli officer on the ground and a hospital official talking about how israel is ready... ready to provide incubators. a very large explosion there, a strike i think behind us. this is the time when we tend to hear more of these air strikes and that's artillery. as i said, israel has released audio showing israel is ready to provide the incubators but the problem is the fuel and actually if they manage to get the baby is out of al—shifa hospital, there are also a lot of people on the ground saying there is no other medical facility that could care for these premature babies, so the premature babies in a sense encapsulates the tragedy of what is happening on the ground but of course gaza's trauma, the trauma on both sides of this conflict goes far deeper than that and no sign at the moment of any let up and no sign at the moment of any let up infighting. and no sign at the moment of any let up in fighting. that and no sign at the moment of any let up in fighting-— up in fighting. that big explosion we had a second _ up in fighting. that big explosion we had a second earlier, - up in fighting. that big explosion we had a second earlier, we - up in fighting. that big explosion we had a second earlier, we are| we had a second earlier, we are seeing live pictures of the aftermath on the screen as i speak to you, let me ask you this, the israelis would say if you ask them about fuel, about getting fuel into gaza, they would say hamas has plenty of fuel, hamas has loads of fuel under al—shifa hospital, what have you been hearing about that? yes, i spoke to the deputy mayor of jerusalem earlier he said to me according to intelligence that she hasn't seen, hamas has two to three months of fuel storage in tunnels under the hospital. —— in intelligence that she has seen. something unofficial that level of israeli bureaucracy may not have access to that level of intelligence and hamas denies any existence of fuel storage under the hospital or indeed any tunnels there, but what the israelis have done in recent daysis the israelis have done in recent days is provided photos and videos that they say shows very clearly the existence of hamas command centre underneath another hospital, rantisi, a children's hospital, alleging there are explosives there, there were explosives there, suicide vest there, there is an abundance even of hamas keeping some israelis hostages with a rope tied to a chair, a babies bottle with suggestions and babies were being held there, but as ever we cannot verify that on the ground. hamas denies it, so amidst the horrendous military conflict that is going on between both sides, there is also an information war going on with claim and counterclaim and that is absolutely deepening with very little trust between both sides and that again shows no signs of letting up. that again shows no signs of letting u . _ ., ~' that again shows no signs of letting u n . ., " , ., that again shows no signs of letting earlier our correspondent in the south of gaza, rushdi abualouf, gave this update on the situation at gaza's biggest hospital. at the al—shifa hospital the situation is still very tense and remains the same with access in and out of the hospital, it has been shut completely. people inside were trying to escape yesterday. we were getting word from the remaining journalists inside, four of them were shot in their legs and were unable to leave. inside the hospital today, like a mass grave of 170 people were buried, 70 were in the morgue but there is no electricity to keep the morgue in a suitable situation for the bodies. 100 were evacuated from a nearby school three days ago and today they have decided to bury them inside the hospital, the hamas—run health ministry is saying they have dug a mass grave and they have put them in the grave. the last call i made to our contact inside the hospital, he said movement within buildings of the hospital is dangerous. what about having to evacuate thousands of people? he said it used to be in that hospital about 45,000 people sheltering, but before the israelis are surrounding the hospital many of them left, but there will still be a few thousand people inside. also the patients are inside, about 400 patients. some of them need to be connected to the ventilator, to the life—saving machines in the hospital. no electricity, no water and very few medical kits to save lives are left in the hospital. the situation is very tense and very dangerous around the largest medical centre in the entire gaza strip. that is my colleague rushdi abualouf there. the un says gaza's health system is in "total collapse", with 22 of the 36 hospitals in the territory now unable to function due to what it says is a lack of fuel, damage, attacks and insecurity. whilst that is happening, its estimated 160 children are being born every day. working with freelance journalist majdi fathi in gaza, our correspondent yogita limaye reports from jerusalem on what it's like to give birth in gaza. baby crying born in a precarious world, this little boy is one day old, still to be named. his parents fled bombings in gaza city. under the stress of war, he has been born prematurely and needs help to breathe. in the next bed, a four—day—old girl, who's critical. there's been no time to name her either, and they're running out of medicines which could treat her. incubators are still on at the al—aqsa hospital in central gaza, but the fighting is drawing closer. this is hassan, named by hospital staff. both his parents were killed in bombings. he was found cradled in his mother's arms. it's a painful time in gaza. it's excruciating for new mothers. four days ago, keifaia al asser�*s baby girl was born. she was heavily pregnant when she was forced to flee her home. translation: i've had to run more than once, j walking under the constant threat of being bombed. i saw people's bodies being ripped apart. i faced extreme exhaustion and was scared for my baby's life. at hospital, i got no painkillers while giving birth. asma has walked with her three children for more than 15 miles. she's pregnant. this is refuge, in a hospital compound. "my children sleep on the sheet, i sleep on the ground," she says. "so many women suffered miscarriages due to the terrifying sound of the explosions. i was scared i'd lose my baby. sometimes, ifelt like i couldn't feel my baby move," she says. "i had to carry my child and our bags. my children have been exposed to such horrors. dead bodies, cars bombed, with people inside." this is what she now faces, along with hundreds of thousands. people who had homes and jobs, boys and girls who had a childhood, struggling for a few drops of water. yogita limaye, bbc news, jerusalem. is always, there is more on that story on the bbc news website. let's turn to a major story in the uk — a senior officer involved in the stephen lawrence murder case was corrupt, according to a secret metropolitan police report from the year 2000, uncovered by the bbc. it said ray adams was cleared by a corruption probe which relied on false testimony from a man linked to the family of one of stephen's killers. the revelation contradicts years of police denials about the role of corrupt officers in the case. daniel de simone reports. the spectre of police corruption has long haunted the stephen lawrence murder. for three decades, scotland yard kept the secret we now expose. the met knew about it, that's what's so shocking. today we reveal a met police report concluded that a senior officer involved in the case, ray adams, was corrupt. the early failure to bring stephen's killers to justice has led to suspicion that corruption infected the investigation. the father of one killer was clifford norris, a gangsterfrom a criminalfamily known for suspicious contact with police. the public inquiry into the murder probed the issue. it didn't find corruption. somebody contacted us this morning... ray adams, a former commander, appeared as a witness. but i've now seen a secret scotland yard report into the stephen lawrence case that concludes ray adams was corrupt. it says ray adams was cleared by a flawed corruption probe which relied on lies from an informant linked to the family headed by the father of one of stephen's killers. it says a totally fictitious account by the informant was used to discredit a witness against ray adams. the informant must have been coached by ray adams or another officer, and this amounted to flagrant acts of attempting to pervert the course of justice. the public inquiry into the murder didn't hear about this evidence from the informant. the barrister who represented stephen's family says the information would have been key. the met seem to have covered up the true nature of adams, so they must have known what he was really like, so that his reputation was protected. it would have made, in my view, a very substantial difference. the witness discredited by the informant was criminal james malone, who'd made comments apparently suggesting he'd paid ray adams. i was on trial at the london sessions... the informant said that he'd heard malone boast of making false corruption claims about adams. but the secret report says this was a lie, there was no link between the informant and malone. i tracked down the other man said by the informant to have heard malone admit to making false claims about ray adams. the man told me he'd never seen or met malone and the met police have never even asked him about the informant�*s account. the secret report says there was no evidence ray adams influenced the murder inquiry. stephen's family now want further investigation by the met. the bbc is doing itsjob, investigating what happened in stephen's case. so there is a real need to look at this. and if there is a tiny scintilla of that happening, the met should take it up with open arms. ray adams says he's asked the met to appoint a senior officer to investigate the serious allegations against him. the met didn't answer my questions. the force says it will review the material before deciding whether any further action is required. stephen's family want justice and the full truth. daniel de simone, bbc news. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. the bbc says it has received a total of five complaints about russell brand's behaviour from when he hosted radio shows between 2006 and 2008. two of the five complaints about the comedian were made in the last two months, since a review of his time at the bbc was launched. russell brand has previously denied any wrongdoing. new figures show uk wages outstripped inflation by the largest margin in two years, but the rate at which they're growing is starting to slow down. average earnings rose by 7.7% in the three months to september, compared with the same period a year ago. a bbc investigation has found a black market trade in delivery app accounts that's allowing under—age teenagers to sign up as riders. the home office has urged deliveroo, just eat and uber eats to reform policies that let riders lend their accounts to others without any identity checks. deliveroo says it has a "zero tolerance approach" towards ineligible riders. you're live with bbc news. here, the bbc has been told that labour leader sir keir starmer is considering putting his party's position on the israel—hamas conflict to a vote on wednesday in a bid to maintain party unity. the commons motion would criticise israel's conduct in the war, while stopping short of backing a ceasefire. live now

some of the | to flesh out, flush out some of the rebels in his party and put out a show of unity on this particular issue but he has been battling internal divisions on this for his position as there should be a humanitarian pause in the fighting in the middle east, but is not a formal ceasefire. his argument being if you do that, you embolden hamas and they could potentially spring extra attacks on israel, so he has maintained this position of a humanitarian pause which is the same as the uk government position, same as the uk government position, same as the uk government position, same as the united states, but there are other countries around the world, the french president for example has caused for a ceasefire, as have other nations. the scottish national party, the third biggest party in uk way to politics, is hoping to table an amendment tomorrow to the kings speech which would have forced or wanted to know potentially force mps to vote on the idea of whether there should actually be a ceasefire in gaza and in israel. labour potentially thinking about tabling their own amendment. this is not nailed down yet, because labour is the biggest party it is likely the house of commons speaker were to select their amendment and we are waiting for the motion that would potentially be voted on there. they will have to tread carefully i think the labour party to keep onside all those critics who would like to see a ceasefire, so if they do do this, i think they will explicitly criticise israel for not doing enough to protect civilian lives but not go as far as calling for a ceasefire. this is potentially quite a big moment in the houses of parliament tomorrow afternoon. let’s parliament tomorrow afternoon. let's talk about the — parliament tomorrow afternoon. let's talk about the conservative party, because the first cabinet meeting since the reshuffle happened this morning, took me through the highlights or low lights. the fact that david cameron _ highlights or low

lights. the fact - that david cameron was there is the big story we have been talking about for the past 24 hours, a shock return to front line politics from the former british prime minister and he was all smiles this morning round the cabinet table, in fact at the very top of that meeting rishi sunak welcomed new faces and also said that welcome to faces who may well be pretty familiar with these surroundings. david cameron chose the right seat, he did not sit on its old seats but in the seat of the foreign secretary. but what they working to talk about other things coming up on the agenda soon, there is a new home secretary in the shape ofjames is a new home secretary in the shape of james cleverly who replaced suella braverman yesterday and he briefed the cabinet on a big rolling tomorrow on the government policy of sending some asylum seekers to row underfor processing. —— sending some to set. that is a crucial part of their plan to, as they put it, stop the boats. james cleverly said there is a potential hit that actually the supreme court does not deliver a yes or no verdict, it comes up with something a little more complex than that, so they discussed the various scenarios there. also james cleverly had a meeting with the pm with the metropolitan police commissioner this morning following on from the unrest of the protest at the weekend. pro—palestinian testers and then counter protesters on the far right, violence particularly among them, some saying it was caused directly by suella braverman�*s comments saying the police were biased in the way they were handling the protest. there is still quite a strong sense of anger on the right of the tory party that suella braverman was removed in the first place and we had a statement a short while ago from a group calling itself the new conservatives representing about 30 conservative mps who are accusing the pm from walking away from those who chose to vote tory for the first time in 2019. ., ~ i. breaking news and this is all about that volcano in iceland. we have been covering it and i'm sure you have been reading and watching about it on the sinews but i said is bracing itself for a volcanic eruption in the coming days and if that does happen it could be significant in terms of damage to infrastructure and release of toxic fumes. we have been hearing from our correspondent who is in iceland and she said the town and area around grindavik, where the volcano is, has been evacuated. again she says emergency responders have also been seen packing up and say while the town has been emptied of residents already, we already reported on the evacuation, some were being allowed backin evacuation, some were being allowed back in small groups to collect their belongings. the bbc is there in grindavik under escort of the authorities. it had been about to go and look back at the damage caused by these what they believe is precursor to a volcanic eruption, but they had been told to leave immediately so we are keeping an eye as you can see on the live shot of grindavik in iceland and we will bring you up to date on that hit on the bbc. i think we are talking to and icelandic volcano expert later on in the programme as well if you are that way inclined. 18 mcdonald's employees in the uk have been fired as a result of a bbc investigation into claims

uk largest private sector employers but it has one of the country's youngest workforces, three quarters of its workers are under 25, and it is also important to sate many of those workers are not directly employed by mcdonald's because it uses a franchise system. how did mcdonald's bosses reacted to the claims today?— the claims today? earlier today alistair macrow, _ the claims today? earlier

from the area once again because of fears of some sort of eruption. we will leave you with these pictures of grindavik, i am backin these pictures of grindavik, i am back in a few minutes' time. stay with us on the bbc. hello there. good afternoon. it's very mild at the moment for this point in november. you can see the mild air marked in yellow on our air mass chart here, but that mild air clears away to be replaced by something cooler as we head through the next couple of days. then the mild air makes another return, with some very unsettled conditions as we head into the weekend. into the start of next week we draw in more of a northerly wind, so again the map likely to turn bluer. this is the pressure chart for today. you can see those heavy, thundery showers clearing away gradually from the south coast of england. it's been a very wet start to the day here, but still possibly some more showers lingering on for a time through the afternoon. scattered showers, sunny spells developing from the west across much of england and wales, it does stay quite blustery here, particularly towards the south coast. scattered showers, sunny spells for northern ireland. more cloud, outbreaks of rain across much of scotland but perhaps some brighter skies towards the far north. temperatures a little lower for most than they were yesterday. through this evening and overnight, again the cloud, the rain continues across much of scotland. some clear skies perhaps to the far north here, maybe a touch of frost in sheltered glens for tomorrow morning. largely dry further south across much of england and wales. you can see on tuesday night into wednesday the area of low pressure clears away into the north sea once again. so these weather fronts starting to slip a little further southwards and weakening, perhaps some showery outbreaks of rain across parts of northern ireland, stretching down into lincolnshire as we head through the afternoon, but a ridge of high pressure building in from the south and the west, so much of england and wales should stay dry, feeling a little cooler, there will be quite a lot of sunshine around with lighter winds. so maybe a more widespread frost on wednesday night into thursday for certainly a few spots, and then weather fronts push in from the south and west as we head through thursday morning. there is still a lot of uncertainty particularly regarding this rain towards the south, but it's quite likely that we're all going to be seeing some wet and some windy weather as the day wears on. temperatures are lower than they have been, high single figures in scotland, 11 to 13 celsius further south, but we are going to start to draw in that milder air again as we see this deep area of low pressure approach from the south—west, so turning wetter and windier with perhaps coastal gales by the end of the day on friday. bye—bye for now.
