Well hear from captain harry kane about their desire to go one further than recent tournaments and get their hands on a trophy. Good afternoon and welcome to the bbc news at one. We are live in southern israel, less than a mile from the gaza strip, behind me about an hours drive from tel aviv. The us President Joe Biden is now in tel aviv for meetings with the israeli Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu and his war cabinet. Soon after the us president arrived he said he was Deeply Saddened And Outraged by the devastating explosion at a hospital in gaza city yesterday evening. He said responsibility lay with what he called the other team. In other words, israel didnt do it. The Israeli Military blames the attack on a misfired rocket from palestinian islamichhad group. Its the second biggest armed group in the gaza strip. Like hamas its backed by iran. It is usually seen as more extreme than hamas but both groups are designated as Terrorist Organisations by many western governments, including the uk. As always, it is a time of the claim and counterclaim. Hamas, the palestinian authorities, arab states across the region as well as iran blame israel for the explosion, which hamas says killed 500 people. Well be hearing from our correspondent inside gaza been at the scene of the incident and well look more closely at what we know and dont know about this horrific explosion. First to this report from our correspondent wyre davies. And a warning that some of you may find some of our Coverage Today distressing.

As the victims were buried, more desperation of and a sense increasing anger across the arab world. There were overnight protests across the west bank. Jordan, lebanon, and yemen. But israel says it was not to blame. In a detailed rebuttal of the claims from gaza, israeli officials said intelligence reports pointed to a inspired missile from palestinian militants. Part of israels event, intercepted communication between militants, said to be acknowledging what had actually happened. Israels evidence appeared persuasive enough forjoe biden.

At the event of the last 2a hours of making it even more perilous for people in the immediate region including the hostages being held in gaza. Claim and counterclaim, carnage and chaos at that hospital in gaza city. Our correspondent in gaza, rushdi abualouf, has been to the scene of the hospital and begin have to warn you there are distressing scenes. Again we have to warn you. After what looks to have been the deadliest moment in gaza of the war so far. Burnt out cars, after last nights blast. I was talking to one of the people who witnessed what the palestinians are calling a massacre. He said they were just sitting in their garden peacefully, and suddenly, a huge explosion rocked the area and he said, we started to collect people from all around gaza strip who had arrived with us, we came and we tried to help. He said we collected bodies, injured people, people with serious injuries using motorcycles, some people were evacuated that he said, from here two shifa hospital. Blood soaked mattresses lay on the ground. Doctors here say thousands were taking shelter at the hospital when it happened. We left our home to come here, this woman says. We thought it would be safe but then it got bombed. People are still collecting body pieces from on the ground. People are still in panic. People are still trying to understand what has happened. When health Officials Saying hundreds of dead and missing, is a moment of horror palestinians already traumatised by ms moore. Rushdi abualouf, bbc traumatised by this wall. Rushdi abualouf, bbc news, gaza city. At the time to be busy trying to verify all of the conflicting claims that information coming in from conflicting claims that information coming infrom many conflicting claims that information coming in from many sources. Our Diplomatic Correspondent has been looking at what we know and what we dont know so far and she has been working with our verify team. Ever since the explosion happened at around 7pm local time, bbc Verification Experts have been poring over all the images that have emerged. These pictures show what appears to be the car park of the hospital in flames. Weve been able to establish its a courtyard with cars parked in it from the shape of the buildings. The Al Jazeera Television station was broadcasting live from gaza at the time. And you see a bright light in the air that looks like a rocket. Now we dont know where it was fired from. But something appears to happen to it and then a few seconds later theres a flash and then an enormous fireball. Our Verification Teams have looked at these images and can tell from the roofs, from the placing of solar panels and from some trees that it was in the main courtyard of the hospital. Now we have some images by daylight this morning. Here you see all the cars that have been burned in the explosion. But a relatively small crater. A number of Weapons Experts have told us you might expect to see a much larger crater, as well as structural damage to surrounding buildings, if had been caused by munitions typically used by israel. In this picture, you see windows blown out but this Hospital Building close to the crater still standing. The wounded were transferred and are being treated in another hospital in gaza and we dont yet have the full casualty toll to establish the exact truth of what happened, youd need an independent investgation. But thats not going to happen in what is an active war zone. Caroline hawley, thank you, and thank you to our verify team. In the midst of this escalating crisis, President Joe Biden had landed, the Emergency Lights are flashing right across the region. Lets bring in another Diplomatic Correspondent, paul adams. We have been a very public show of support by President Joe Biden, he has been having talks Behind Closed Doors with Benjamin Netanyahu and the war cabinet. What do you think he is trying to achieve in those talks face to face . Several thin. S, in those talks face to face . Several things. Lyse in those talks face to face . Several things, lyse. Best in those talks face to face . Several things, lyse. Best of in those talks face to face . Several things, lyse. Best of all in those talks face to face . Several things, lyse. Best of all as in those talks face to face . Several things, lyse. Best of all as you in those talks face to face . Several things, lyse. Best of all as you say| things, lyse. Best of all as you say an absolutely false display of support first of all, an absolutely fulsome display of support. This has been to sleep crisis began, with the sending of warships to the eastern mediterranean, the rhetoric from officials, and symbolism of having a us president in israel while israel is at war which is another thing which has never happened before. And secondly trying to stop this escalating. We have seen evidence of skirmishes among the Northern Border Involving Gun Men From The Hezbollah Militia supported from iran, we have had warnings from iran that it might feel compelled to get involved if the situation in gaza deteriorate still further and itjust has, so clearly that is another thing which is very much preoccupying the president as he visits the region. Thirdly the humanitarian situation. American diplomats have been working hard behind the scenes, talking to the egyptians in particular to try and achieve some sort of alleviation or the palestinians who have fled down to the Southern Area of the gaza strip. That would have been part of the focus ofjoe bidens discussions in Thejordanian Capital tomorrow which would have involved the Palestinian Leader mahmoud about and the egyptian president. That was called off because Mahmoud Abbas said he was going to go there. You can be absolutely sure though that was not going to go there. You can be absolutely sure that american officials will be working on this because they know that this crisis could get worse especially given the anticipated Land Invasion from israel begins, whenever that is. Paul adams, israel begins, whenever that is. Pauladams, our israel begins, whenever that is. Paul adams, our Diplomatic Correspondent who is now in jerusalem. As paul says, this could get much worse, it is already being described as unprecedented. Palestinian Health Officials have been describing the attack on the hospital is unparalleled, indescribable. They say it represents the biggest loss of life in a single attack on all of the five wars fought between gaza and israel. The numbers only tell part of the story. But they tell us of a rising death toll. Today the Palestinian HealthMinistry Said that more than 3300 palestinians have been killed in the retaliatory air strikes by israel, more than 13,000 injured. Here in israel, nearly 11100 israelis were killed in the atrocities by Hamas On October Seven in the early hours of saturday, when hamas carried out those attacks, and provoked an escalation which is still continuing. Another dimension to this crisis is the nearly 200 hostages who are still believed to be hidden across the gaza strip, including israelis and 30 other nationalities. This morning, here in southern israel, so close to the gaza border, there has been a constant sound of Heavy Artillery Fire by israel, heavy machine gun fire, and on the horizon, constantly, the black plumes of smoke rising in the distance. That is gaza city continuing to come under bombardment. An intensifying wall and a deepening humanitarian catastrophe. In the words of the un Secretary General antonio terrace, there is no Epic Suffering in the gaza strip. President joe biden has arrived in the midst of all of this, saying he wanted to support israel but also wanted to ensure that israel did Everything Possible to minimise or civilian casualties and get desperately needed aid into gaza. We will continue to watch all of the events from here, across israel and the gaza strip and beyond but for now, back to london. The crisis in the middle east has dominated Prime Ministers questions in the commons. The Prime Minister says the uk is working independently and with with allies to find out what happened at the al ahli hospital. The Labour Leader said the events were incredibly distressing. International law must be upheld and that means hospitals and civilian lives must be protected. Last night, the Foreign Secretary said the uk will work with our allies to find out what has happened. I know this only happened last night, but can the Prime Minister please tell us when he thinks he might be able to update the house on progress with that work . I know the whole house will have been shocked by the scenes at al ahli hospital. Any loss of innocent life is a dreadful tragedy. And everyone will be thinking both of those who have lost their lives and the families they leave behind. We should not rush tojudgment before we have all the facts on this awful situation. That was just part of pmqs. 0ur Political Correspondent helen catt was listening to the whole session. Tell us more about what was said . But the Labour Leader of the Prime Minister talk about the importance, as they see it, of uk politicians speaking with one voice when it comes to israel and gaza. They also spoke about the importance of the words that are used and the risks of this information. As you heard, rishi sunak was talking about not Rushing Tojudgment on rishi sunak was talking about not rushing to judgment on the attack on the hospital. He said the Intelligence Services were working to analyse it, that they were going to reach their own conclusions. That was echoed by james cleverly, the Foreign Secretary, who said that while he acknowledged that it was frustrating that there appeared to be a pause, he was clear that the uk will come to its own judgment on the attack. That is a course in the context of the comments by President Biden. James cleverly said they would take note of that. He is planning to visit the region, and he said the uks diplomatic focus remains on british nationals, humanitarian aid in preventing tensions. That is something that Opposition Parties are backing. Sir keir starmer at Prime Ministers questions talked about the importance of getting medicine, food and water into gaza and stressed the importance of staying within international law. The snp leader Stephen Flynn also joined with the Prime Minister and the Labour Leader in condemning the attacks, but he has gone further. He called for an immediate ceasefire. Immediate ceasefire. Helen catt there. Our top story this afternoon. Claims and Counter Claims surround the attack on a Gaza Hospital Which Hamas says killed hundreds of people. Still to come, Andrew Malkinson, wrongly imprisoned for 17 years for a rape he didnt commit, tells us he may be waiting two years for his compensation.
