this is bbc news. the headlines: the ceasefire is over and fighting resumes, the gaza health ministry says more than 100 people have been killed in the hours since the temporary truce ended. each side blames the otherfor temporary truce ended. each side blames the other for breaching the ceasefire terms, aid and fuel trucks are now being stopped from entering gaza. world leaders officially recognise the role of food and farming in globalwarming. king charles pleads with cop28 to be a turning point for the planet. and former uk health secretary matt hancock tells the covid inquiry schools could have stayed open if the government had acted more swiftly. let's return to the israel—gaza war, where the temporary ceasefire ended at around 7am local time. since then, the hamas—run health ministry in gaza says more than a hundred people have been killed in fighting. israel says it has had more than 200 targets today. the sides have blamed each other for the violence restarting after a week in which more than 100 hostages were released by hamas, in exchange for 240 palestinian prisoners in israeli jails. colonel richard kemp is a former commander of british forces, and he doesn't believe hamas will have been able to regroup during the recent pause in hostilities. i think that it obviously is to their advantage and they pressed for the ceasefire themselves because they were severely weakened by the war so far. but there will be relatively little they can do. they've obviously redeployed many terrorist assets from the north down to the south, will have been preparing defences there. but of course, the idf also has had the opportunity of the seven—day pause in fighting to themselves evaluate the war so far, look at the lessons learnt already and prepare for the next stage. so i don't think there's a massive disadvantage for the idf of this ceasefire. and both sides, as i was saying, have been blaming each other for the resumption of the fighting. and did you get the sense that israel was keen to restart? there was obviously a lot of talk about hostages being the priority, but you did hear a lot of noises from the cabinet about wanting to resume as fast as possible. yeah, i think that's true. i think israel certainly wanted the release of more hostages. and it turns out that hamas was unable to deliver any more hostages to buy themselves more time. but very clearly, if that wasn't going to be the case, if there weren't going to be more hostages released, then israel quite rightly wanted to resume fighting as soon as possible — to get on with their priority task of eliminating hamas and preventing it from continuing to represent a threat to israel. do you think there's a chance of the truce being revived? obviously, we hear that there are efforts ongoing to rejoin, well, from all sides, saying they're making efforts to bring it back, what do you think? yeah, i think there is a possibility it might be resumed, if hamas is able to get its hands on some of the other hostages, assuming that some of the others are still alive. there are about 100 hostages, i believe, remaining and many of them may well be dead, and some of them are probably in the hands of other terrorist groups, which is why hamas couldn't arrange for them to be released. but i think if that does change and hamas is able to deliver more hostages, i think it's quite likely we're going to see another pause in the fighting at some stage. there will certainly be big international pressure to do that on israel, in particular from the united states. we talk about the united states, there does seem to have been a change in approach from the us in the last few days and talking about pressuring israel to make sure that it minimises the civilian casualties. we were just hearing from antony blinken saying they have seen evidence of that today, with israel telling people to move from certain areas. and they've released this map, showing areas of gaza which will be where they tell people to move to. do you get a sense that israel is really listening to that? well, i don't think israel actually needs to listen to it because my experience observing the idf over a number of years is that they do everything they possibly can and they go above and beyond the requirements of international law and above and beyond what other countries do, in order to minimise civilian casualties, so i don't believe they need that encouragement. there have been 15,000 people, the authorities in gaza which are run by hamas, but they say 15,000 people have died in the last seven weeks. they do say that. and of course, one can't trust those figures. and also, of course, a very large number of whatever the number is, a very large percentage of it will be hamas terrorists, which is the primary target of israel. but you're quite right to emphasise the horrific civilian casualties. the big problem is, as with all wars of this nature, you cannot defeat your enemy without unfortunately incurring civilian casualties, no matter how much effort you put into it. and israel's track record, proportionately, is better than, for example, the us and the uk in afghanistan and iraq. in those conflicts, the us and britain inflicted about three to one, about three civilian casualties for every combatant killed. whereas israel's record in recent conflicts is closer to one or two to one. so i think there is a great deal of misinformation and propaganda about israel's actions. but from my understanding and from my observations, i think israel does all it can to minimise civilian casualties. the issue also is notjust people dying from the bombing, but aid agencies have warned about famine. and how disease may even take over the number of deaths from the bombing. and the problem with all of this is so much anger and so much grief in gaza at the moment that all of this is perhaps acting as a recruiting ground for hamas and that makes israel's objective even harder, which is to try to wipe out hamas. i don't think there's any doubt about that, you're absolutely right in what you say. and i think there are other ways also to address those problems, one of which is for the un to start doing its job. the un was asked by israel, i think, to set up refugee areas on the south—west coast of gaza and the un refused to do so, as i understand it. because they said that would be complicit with israel's war. and the other thing that should be happening is that the egyptian border should be opened to allow civilians in gaza to get out. egypt is under an obligation to do that, under a treaty with the african union, which it's a party to, but they refuse to open that border. i think those are two areas pressure should be applied to to try to alleviate this terrible suffering of the civilian population. colonel richard kemp. matt hancock — the former uk health secretary — has again appeared before the country's covid inquiry, which was set up to examine the uk's response to and impact of the covid—19 pandemic. he said that school closures could have been avoided injanuary 2021 if the government had acted more swiftly on spiralling covid cases. if we don't lock down, there will be more deaths, and we will have to have a tougher lockdown in the future. so on reflection and with hindsight, i think that if we'd taken action sooner — in september of 2020 — then we might, for instance, have avoided the need to close schools which, in the end, we had to because cases were so high byjanuary. 0ur political correspondent peter saull has more. the evidence began this morning, with a focus on autumn 2020, when there was a debate raging in government about whether or not a second covid lockdown was needed. matt hancock was pushing strongly for that at the time. he said today that had it happened sooner, then schools could have stayed open injanuary 2021, which i'm sure will garner attention because the impact on children's education is still very much ongoing. we were also shown a text message exchange from the time, in which matt hancock talks about his frustration, really, with rishi sunak, the then chancellor's position. he was arguing strongly against lockdown at the time, and he says that with the then chancellor in the room, the prime minister will be under "enormous pressure to not do enough once again". also, it came up again today the comments that matt hancock made that there was a "protective ring" thrown around care homes. he said, ultimately, that there were no easy options available to the government. the tests just weren't available for those people who were being discharged out of hospital and put back into care homes. that's still very much an open wound for people who lost loved ones to covid, particularly in the care sector. and some of those actually gathered outside the inquiry here to see him off when he left, after giving his evidence. it's been a difficult day and a half for matt hancock. he has, though, been quite robust in the defence of his actions. he's tried to portray himself as someone who saw the seriousness of the situation earlier than others, but was met with significant resistance internally within government. and that tees things up quite nicely for the next key witness here, borisjohnson, who's been criticised by quite a few of the witnesses for not being able to make decisions quickly enough. peter saull. buckingham palace has said it is considering all options after the king and the princess of wales were identified as two members of the royal family who allegedly discussed the skin colour of prince harry and meghan�*s son. the names appeared in the dutch translation of a book by its goby who insists it was an error by the publisher. this report contains flashing images from the start. journalists shout carrying on, as a storm rages around them. the prince and princess of wales at the royal albert hall last night. the princess is now revealed, alongside the king, as the royal family members who supposedly, some years ago, made some comments about the skin colour of the sussexes' first baby. it is the king and the princess who are identified in the dutch edition of the latest royal book. the book's author, 0mid scobie, says he cannot understand how the names came to appear in print. the book i wrote, the book i edited, the book i signed off on, did not have names in it. but how well—founded is all of this? let's go back to the moment that started it all — meghan�*s interview in 2021 with oprah winfrey, when she said this... and also, concerns and conversations about how dark his skin might be when he's born. what?! moments after the line which captured all the headlines, it becomes clear that meghan didn't actually hear the alleged remarks herself. there's a conversation with you... with harry. ..about how dark your baby is going to be? potentially, and what that would mean or look like. 0oh. that was relayed to me from harry, those were conversations that family had with him. in other words, meghan relied on harry's account of a conversation, and harry has subsequently placed the whole matter in a broader context. you speak to any other couple, mixed—race couple around the world, and you will probably find that the white side of the family have either openly discussed it or secretly discussed, what are the kids going to look like? again, for me, the difference is unconscious bias and racism, but if you are called out for unconscious bias, you need to make that right. none of which will come as much comfort to buckingham palace which, according to sources, is considering all options, and hoping that the public�*s attention will be on the king's speech to the climate conference, rather than the latest family drama. nicholas witchell, bbc news. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. bbc news, bringing you different stories from across the uk. - the

the cop28 climate summit, where global leaders have addressed their main goals for this climate summit. prime minister rishi sunak turned the focus away from domestic measures and highlighted britain's role in helping other countries to reduce emissions. the world is just not moving fast enough. climate science shows that we're off—track and climate politics is close to breaking point, because the gap between pledges and delivery is undermining credibility. while we make new commitments here, major emitters must dramatically accelerate delivery of what they've already promised. we all need to do more. and we must address the disconnect between lofty rhetoric on stages like this and the reality of people's lives around the world, and the way to do that is by delivering a truly just transition. let me be clear — the united kingdom is totally committed to net zero, the paris agreement, and to keeping 1.5 alive. that's why we've decarbonised faster than any other major economy. our 2030 target means the deepest cuts of any major emitter, and we're determined to deliver. but instead of putting more pressure on working people, we're choosing a pragmatic new approach. we're ramping up renewables and embracing the opportunities of technology and green industry, because we've shown that you can cut emissions while growing the economy and creating jobs. now, those facing the worst impacts of climate change are desperate for the world to do more, so we're also working to deliver a just transition globally, and that means more support for those most in need. the uk is already one of the largest global climate donors and we're tripling our adaptation finance. i've announced a further £1.6 billion for the green climate fund, the uk's biggest single international climate commitment. and today, we've gone further, with an additional £1.6 billion of support for clean energy and innovation, and to deliver on the historic glasgow forest deal, because we can't get to net zero without nature. this also includes up to £60 million for loss and damage, £40 million of which is for the new fund. and to succeed, the fund must be open to all sources of support. and because the uk is a world—leading green finance centre, we're also helping to unlock trillions in private finance to meet this need and keep 1.5 degrees within reach. i believe we can deliver here in dubai, but we've got to work together. the debate is too divided. developed versus developing, ambition on mitigation versus finance for transition and adaptation. the truth is simple — we need both. in place of division, we need ambitious collective action, like we promised in paris and glasgow. that's how we'll get back on track, by bringing everyone with us, because a trulyjust transition leaves absolutely no—one behind. the bbc 100 women is this year highlighting climate pioneers who are leading the battle against the climate crisis. among them is dr gladys kalema—zikusoka, who has dedicated much of her life to the protection of the endangered mountain gorillas. their habitat is being eroded by climate change. gorillas are being impacted by climate change because they live in a very small protected area of only 321 square kilometres. the weather is changing a lot. sometimes, when there is a lot of drought and the dry season, they have to look much further to look for food and so there ranging patterns change. sometimes, they have to go outside the forest to look for certain plants, that is something we are studying. and when it rains a lot, everything gets unpredictable. currently, it is raining much more than usual. but also because we are so closely related to gorillas and we can easily make each other sick, when people have an increased incidents of diseases, especially zoonomic, they can easily spill over to the endangered mountain gorillas and that is something our ngo conservation through public health is really addressing. find conservation

chain the range, and there are plans for hundreds of stores to open over the next two years starting with plymouth and exeter today. wilko is now open! a new era for an old household name. plymouth�*s shoppers were the first in the country to witness the rebirth of wilko. we'd better get them in, hadn't we? dozens queued an hour and a half before the doors opened, eager to be part of this moment. it's good to have the shop back open again. you can buy a bit of everything in here. and when you're in town, you canjust pop in. a few days after it shut and walking through here, i thought, _ "oh, that's really sad". it's like a ghost town. yeah, it's nice to have wilkos back in town. it was kind of sad to see this entire store completely empty. the company collapsed back in august. 12,000 staff lost theirjob across 400 stores. workers said goodbye in style, posting on social media. many of the staff in this video, filmed in plymouth on their last day, are now back working here. it feels like a dream. i'm not going to lie. i never thought we would open the doors again. once we did actually a tiktok to close the doors and i thought that would be it once we left. and it's amazing. 30 of the 42 original team were rehired. some had secured newjobs after the closure, but decided to come back. i knew everybody was coming back, so i wanted to come back with them to a place that was familiar to me. the business first started back in 1930. it grew quickly across the country, but over the years, it lost its way, eventually running out of money. earlier this week, the former chair of the company apologised to staff and customers, saying she was devastated. genuinely, i don't know what you want me to say, but i have always... well, "sorry" was the one word i was looking for and which i didn't hear. you can have the word sorry, of course. i'm sorry, if you wish me to say the word "sorry". facing questions over a £50 million pension shortfall and the millions paid out to shareholders, miss wilkinson denied any financial mismanagement and said that covid, high rents and long leases were some of the reasons behind the company's failure. the brand is now in new hands, with huge expansion plans. you're talking about hundreds of stores, at a time when the high street is struggling. why do you think you can make it work? there's another set of overheads. that was then, this is now. we've got no intentions of paying the overheads that all the people were paying. if we don't get the right rent, they don't get wilko. it is still tough on the high street. but the new owner of wilko says he has the right plan to make it work this time. birds of prey normally seen in scandinavia at this time of year have headed here to the uk instead. large numbers of short eared owls have been flocking to the banks of the humber in east yorkshire. amanda whitejoined yorkshire. amanda white joined wildlife yorkshire. amanda whitejoined wildlife enthusiast to track them down. that's another one up, two up there. there's two from a distance. they're just everywhere! they're just everywhere. and that's their noise. really busy, aren't they? yes. these birds are so special. for them to have this habitat, and to be so close to where we live, and they're feeding, they're squabbling, aren't they? they're fighting for their own feeding territory, it's been amazing. these short—eared owls have come across from the continent, from northern europe, scandinavia, western russia, due to the...must be the shortage of food in those areas. they're coming across to the east coast of england, all the way from northumberland down to north norfolk, to feed on the voles that we have here. we're getting people from birmingham, staffordshire, derbyshire, and down from newcastle, to see this fantastic habitat on the banks of the humber. it's been great. we've had five up at any one time. with two hen harriers at the same time. i think they're a very enigmatic species, aren't they, really? i forward—facing eyes. everyone seems to like owls. you don't need the binoculars, you don't need the telescope. you just need your eyes, and to look, to absolutely look, and you'll see short—eared owls, hen harriers, buzzard, barn owl. we've seen it all, haven't we? now it's time for a look at the weather with chris fawkes. hello there. the big freeze is set to continue throughout the weekend ahead and well into next week as well. on friday, we did have some fresh snowfall around, but many of us had blue skies and sunshine. it was a day where temperatures didn't get above freezing all day in places. and we're going to see temperatures drop like a stone overnight. now, these showers — heading into dumfries and galloway — could be quite interesting, bringing up to three centimetres of snow, eventually working into cumbria. and we'll also have some snow showers for northern and eastern scotland, eastern england that could bring an odd centimetre or two. ice the main hazard, a really cold night. lowest temperatures probably getting down to about minus ten. 0nto saturday's forecast, any mist patches tending to clear away. a lot of dry weather, with sunshine. showers this time focused across western areas. these are likely to come in as rain or sleet through the day on saturday. temperatures really struggling. there'll be some places that stay well below freezing once again. now, saturday night could bring some areas of localised disruption across england and wales. clumps of showers are going to start to push eastwards. now, some of them could well fall as snow, but i think mixed in with this, we may well have a spell of freezing rain, really dangerous stuff. it's liquid rain that's got a temperature below zero and it turns to ice on any surface it touches. so we could well see roads and pavements turn to ice rinks across parts of england and wales from this feature. further northwards, we've got clearer skies, drier weather. and another bitterly cold night, with temperatures again plumbing the depths and probably getting down to about minus ten, again, in the coldest areas. sunday, any wintry weather will clear away from eastern areas. in the south, we'll be threatened with bits and pieces of rain, maybe a bit of sleet or hill snow on the northern edge of this. away from that, though, we've got a few mist patches. otherwise, it's dry, with sunshine, it stays very cold. and it could be another day where temperatures stay below freezing. or in other words, there will be some of you that have temperatures throughout the whole of the weekend below freezing. on monday, an area of low pressure is forecast to move to the south of the uk. now, this could well have some snow on its northern edge, but the exact amount of snow that we'll get in places depends entirely on the track of that area of low pressure and there's a bit of uncertainty. but away from that, a lot of sunshine, some showers affecting eastern coasts. and for most, it stays really cold again for now. bye for now. live from london. this is bbc news. the ceasefire is over and fighting resumes. the gaza health ministry says more than a hundred people have been killed in the hours since the temporary truce ended. each side blames the other for breaching the ceasefire terms. aid and fuel trucks are now being stopped from entering gaza. and at the cop 28 summit, the role food and farming plays in global warming is officially recognised. king charles urges leaders to make the conference a �*turning point�* for the planet. some important progress has been made but it worries me greatly that we remain so dreadfully far off track. welcome to verified live, three hours of stories and checking out the truth behind them.
