We find out whether people are feeling any better off. And coming up on bbc news. England prepare to take on the italians at wembley knowing that just a point will secure their spot at next summers euros in germany. Good afternoon. And welcome to the bbc news at one, live from southern israel. Us President Joe Biden has confirmed he will arrive in israel tomorrow to hear from the Israeli Forces plans for a Ground Invasion in gaza. It follows the killings in southern israel ten days ago of more than 1,300 people by hamas, which is classified as a Terrorist Organisation by many western governments including the uk. In gaza overnight, local Officials Say more than 100 people were killed in israeli strikes on the south. More than 2,700 palestinians have now died in counter strikes in gaza. The us and israel have announced they will Work Together to develop a plan to get aid to gaza. Well hear from our correspondents injerusalem, in northern israel, and in lebanon. But first, Yolande Knell has this report. The scramble for survivors in this crater where homes used to stand. This was Northern Gaza after another deadly israeli air strike. At another scene, a mans stretchered out alive. But there were also childrens bodies in the rubble. This was in the south after a million palestinians were told to move here for their safety. Israels military says its targeting hamas hideouts and militant sites. Before dawn, lorries loaded with desperately needed aid were lining up in egyptjust across the borderfrom gaza. Hours later, the Rafah Crossing remained firmly shut. The dilemma how to get supplies to needy civilians but not hamas. When President Biden visits, it will be high on his agenda. The United States and israel have agreed to develop a plan that will enable humanitarian aid from donor nations and multilateral organisations to reach civilians in gaza, and them alone, including the possibility of creating areas to help keep civilians out of harms way. It is critical that aid begin flowing into gaza as soon as possible. For israelis still reeling from the hamas atrocities a week and a half ago, there is growing fear about some 200 people, including children, being held hostage. But hamas has now released footage showing one woman alive. Mia schem is 21. The bbc doesnt usually show hostage videos. But her family agreed we could use these pictures. They are demanding her release. I am begging the world to bring my baby back home. She only went to a party, to a festival party, to have some fun. And now shes in gaza. And shes not the only one. There are many children who went to this party. As israel gets ready for an escalation in its offensive in gaza, the presence of so many of its own citizens held captive is a worrying complication. But its military insists its sticking to its goal, to eradicate hamas. Yolande knell, bbc news, jerusalem. From here less than a mile from the gaza border we can see on the horizon the outlines of gaza city and throughout the day black plumes of smoke have been rising as israel continues its Bombardment Night And Day of the territory. The United Nations continues to warn that life saving goods, food, fuel and water, are on the point of running out because of the siege of the area by israel. In the words of the United Nations, gaza is on the brink of a humanitarian catastrophe. To get more on the latest, let us join ourformer get more on the latest, let us join our former gaza correspondent who get more on the latest, let us join Ourformer Gaza Correspondent who is now injerusalem. Is there any sign of an opening of that one passage in and out of gaza through egypt . There isnt at the moment, the United States saying it is working with israel and egypt to open that border but it hasnt happened yet. They have been talking about it for days. They say there is a plan in place to open it up for aid and possibly to allow palestinians with foreign passports out but it has still not happen. This morning as we heard there were air strikes not far from that crossing. We have been getting the first images from the aftermath of that at the hospital, bodies lined up in front of the hospital, knows a sin in the morgue, people going through those bodies are pulling back the covers, and looking to see if it was their relatives. Inside the hospital they are talking about dozens of people who have been injured and possibly killed. And all the while, there is this humanitarian catastrophe in the words of the United Nations unfolding on the ground. You have towns like khan yunis which have more than doubled in size, they are having to feed and how is the hundreds of thousands of people who have fled down from the north. There is food but there is not enough. At the moment as i say, this aid that is waiting in trucks on the other side of the border in egypt, just not coming through. 0ur correspondentjon donnison, injerusalem. Diplomacy is intensifying. King abdullah ofjordan who was in london is now in germany where he warned the region was on the brink of falling into the abyss. There has been a warning from iran that it could take pre emptive action if there is a catastrophe continues to intensify. It is thought this could involve its ally in lebanon on, the hezbollah militia. 0ur correspondent hugo bachega is in lebanon. But lets cross first to anna foster who is on the israel side of the israel lebanon border. I dont need to tell you the heightened concern in israel and other capitals that that front could also escalate into further tension, how does it feel this morning . A lot of attention is evident in what you see moving along that border. You see communities that have been almost entirely evacuated, nearly 30 got the order to leave yesterday. Most people had gone already, particularly those with families and children, they had packed up and gone further south. They are living through this Constant Exchange of fire between israel and lebanon and it is happening every day. Even again this morning, four infiltrators from lebanon were trying to come across the border and Israeli Defence forces have already released images of those individuals being targeted and fired on. For people in those communities less than two kilometres from the border, they know they are in a dangerous Position Hearing that fire overhead. They know that might only be the start. If things escalate along this northern border it would make this whole conflict even bigger and even more problematic. That is why you are also seeing the us showing such an interest in the north of israel and what is happening here. Whenjoe biden has been speaking about this in the last few days he has been saying in the same breath as talking about her mass, talking about hezbollah, and about the north. There is a Strike Carrier Group from the us waiting in the mediterranean, also senior us commanders, military figures in this area, really concerned this northern border could create a new and more deadly escalation. Hugo bachega is on the other side of the border in lebanon. As we have been reporting, hezbollah has been Firing Rockets into northern israel, other groups firing as well, now this war of words from iran warning of greater action. Is there any sense about how far hezbollah will go is this conflict continues . This is the question hanging over lebanon. We are in a Southern Lebanon, we have been to some vigil is along the israeli border. The streets are deserted, most shops closed, many residents have left because they fear this could become a new front in this conflict, these cross border attacks have intensified in recent days. This morning israeli shells reportedly hit an open field here in this village where we are today. Hezbollah is a group backed by iran which is the key player here. We have heard from the Iranian Foreign minister when time is running out for a political solution to avoid an escalation of this conflict. So far, fighting here has been contained but many believe this could change if israel goes ahead with this Ground Offensive into gaza, and many believe that this could change the situation here on the ground, if militants in Southern Lebanon decide they must respond. Hugo bachega, thank you forjoining us. Tomorrow there will be a lot of talking. President joe biden is not just visiting Israel Backjordan where he will meet the king of jordan and the president of egypt and the president of the Palestinian Authority which governs the other palestinian area, the occupied west bank. Hamas controls the gaza strip just behind me. Let us get a sense of what will be on the agenda in both capitals. 0ur Diplomatic Correspondentjames both capitals. 0ur Diplomatic Correspondent james has been following the frequent flyers across the region, what are the expectations . Everything depends on whether or not president Everything Depends On Whether or not President Bidens presents can unlock President Bidens presents can unlock all the problems. American diplomats unlock all the problems. American diplomats had been crisscrossing the gulf, diplomats had been crisscrossing the gulf. So diplomats had been crisscrossing the gulf, so have other diplomats and ministers, gulf, so have other diplomats and ministers, to get some progress. Thus ministers, to get some progress. Thus far ministers, to get some progress. Thus far they have failed. There is no movement on the border, no protection no movement on the border, no protection for civilians, no hostages freed. What The Americans hope is hostages freed. What The Americans hope is President Bidens presents will unlock those difficulties simply will unlock those difficulties simply by being there. The way they hope that simply by being there. The way they hope that will happen is by persuading as they claim they have the israelis to end their words develop the israelis to end their words develop a the israelis to end their words develop a plan to get humanitarian assistance develop a plan to get humanitarian assistance into gaza. That is the core assistance into gaza. That is the core of assistance into gaza. That is the core of this assistance into gaza. That is the core of this. That is something arab leaders core of this. That is something arab leaders have all been telling The Americans that action has to be taken americans that action has to be taken on americans that action has to be taken on that front, and The Americans seem to be convinced the israetis americans seem to be convinced the Israetis Witt Americans seem to be convinced the israelis will move on that. But this is a big israelis will move on that. But this is a big card israelis will move on that. But this is a big card to play. American president s is a big card to play. American president s do not travel on a whim, certainty president s do not travel on a whim, certainty not president s do not travel on a whim, certainly not on chips put together in a ntatter certainly not on chips put together in a matter of days. Very unusual for a in a matter of days. Very unusual for a us in a matter of days. Very unusual for a us president to enter what is effectively for a us president to enter what is effectively a war zone to actually shape effectively a war zone to actually shape the nature of that conflict. This is shape the nature of that conflict. This is a shape the nature of that conflict. This is a big play by The Americans and a this is a big play by The Americans and a huge this is a big play by The Americans and a huge test of their diplomatic and a huge test of their diplomatic and military heft in the region. 0ur Diplomatic Correspondent james landale. That is the situation now in this region which has sadly no more years of war than peace. But even now this is uncharted territory with a high number of israeli casualties, a shocking number of hostages, and also with the high and rising numbers of palestinian casualties across the border in the gaza strip. As always in every walk this deepening humanitarian crisis, and a rising course of alarm about the human cost of this war, and the real fear that this hot spark in this region can light a much bigger and much more explosive fire. We will continue to watch all of the development but for now back to the studio in london. A british teenager who was missing after hamas attack on southern israel is now known to have been killed. 13 year old yahel disappeared after militants attacked the kibbutz where she lived, and killed her british born mother lianne.

The family in the uk have put out a statement describing yahel, giving us photos as well, she was an adventure lover, she liked zip lining. They described her as beautiful, a bundle of unbridled energy and joy with a cheekiness that could not help but smile at, and a brain that was sharp as a tack. They said she was full of adventure and mischief and they would forever miss her. They talked about the times the family came to the uk for christmas and easter and enjoyed those times with the uk family. This story is just one family.

Theyve won the toss against the netherlands and have put them in to bat. The average wage has risen higher than the rate of inflation for the first time in nearly two years. New figures show salaries rose at an annual rate of nearly 8 betweenjune and august though there is a big gap between the public and private sector, and many people are still feeling the squeeze, as our cost of living correspondent Colletta Smith reports from the calder valley. After years of sky high price rises and low wage growth, todays figures show a different picture. Average wages powered up above price increases this summer. Since i first met corey six months ago, shes had a pay rise. It was nice to be acknowledged and be able to see that, all right, 0k, to have that wage going up. But i dont think anybody� s noticed their Wage Equalling out to the cost of expenses right now. If anything, its about the same standard of living. Ive not noticed theres an extra bit of money flying around. Corrie is a Lunchtime Supervisor at this primary school, earning the National Living wage, which increased in april. But over the summer it was people that worked in banking, Business Services and manufacturing that saw the biggestjump in pay. Thats pulled up the average figure, so not everyones feeling the benefit. Ive had a pay increase by around 5 since, i think it was in april. But its not really touched the sides. Hannah works full time for an it recruitment company. Things like Child Benefit, obviously when you hit a certain wage, thats something thats affected us quite recently, which we werent really aware of. And obviously its quite a significant amount, when youve got two children. So you were getting that Child Benefit and then now you dont . Yeah. My husband got a pay rise and now i dont get Child Benefits. Todays figures are still a look in the rear view mirro
