There are going to be very serious consequences without necessarily spelling those out in public, but we do know that the us has been communicating with iran privately, through channels that are established for that very purpose, and iran no doubt knows exactly what the us is prepared to do. It isjust not something that the president at this point is willing to say publicly, or probably should. Appreciate your time and input, ivo daalder. Thank you for speaking to us on tuesday. Around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. Lets look at some other stories making news. The inquest into the death of Manchester Arena bomber salman abedi has returned a conclusion of suicide. The record of inquest was published today by the Judge Coroner who chaired the Manchester Arena inquiry. The formal conclusion recorded by the inquest was suicide while undertaking a Terror Attack that murdered 22 innocent victims and injured many others. Official figures show that food prices have seen their first monthly fall in two years, but fuel prices have risen sharply. Milk, cheese and egg prices all fell, but petrol rose by 5. 1p a litre. It means the uks overall rate of inflation holds steady at 6. 7 after three consecutive monthly falls. The met office has issued a rare red Weather Warning for parts of eastern scotland on thursday. Forecasters are concerned that heavy rains and winds brought by storm babet could cause a risk to life. Youre live with bbc news. Staying with the conflict unfolding in the middle east. The uks Prime Minister rishi sunak will arrive in israel on thursday for a two day trip to the wider region as concerns grow over the conflict in the middle east. Hell meet the countrys Prime Minister, benjamin netanyahu, and president isaac herzog. Our Political Editor chris mason has more on this. Downing street say that rishi sunak will express his condolences for the terrible loss of life in israel and gaza as a result of hamass brutal terrorist attacks. Hes also expected to press for humanitarian aid to get to the people of gaza as quickly as possible and for the british nationals that are trapped there to be able to leave as quickly as possible, as well as making the argument in israel and elsewhere in the next couple of days that the violence and the anger in the middle east must be contained as much as possible. The Foreign Secretary, james cleverly, also in the region tonight. Hes going to visit egypt, turkey and qatar in the coming days. And i think what were seeing here, diplomatically, is the Prime Minister and the Foreign Secretary using every last moment they can to use whatever diplomatic levers they can before the anticipated escalation from israel in gaza, perhaps in the coming days. The visit by the uk Prime Minister coming soon after the visit by the us president , which is something we have been reporting on. On that, joe biden said it appeared the Hospital Explosion was not carried out by an israeli air strike. But he acknowledged there were a lot of people out there who arent so sure. Ros atkins has spent the day with the bbc� s verify team looking at what we do know about what happened. Israel has highlighted this footage, saying it shows a palestinian rocket misfiring. Some Weapons Experts say this does look like a rocket. Bbc verify examined the Direction Of Travel of the projectile. We cant be sure where it was fired from or by whom. Then we see an explosion on the ground. Bbc verify has geolocated this to the al ahli hospital. We have this video, too. Weapons experts tell us the size of the fire on the ground could be caused by rocket fuel, propellant and vehicle fuel, though we cant be sure. Next, this photo shows the Hospital Courtyard this morning. There are scorch marks and burnt out cars, but theres no significant visible damage to the buildings. Bbc verify has also been examining pictures of a crater in the courtyard. As you can see, its small. This image shows the same thing. And israel says the absence of a large crater and the lack of damage to buildings proves its weapons didnt cause this. Some experts weve consulted cautiously agree. From the evidence we have right now, the israeli explanation looks to be the most plausible that is that this was an errant rocket. Theres a small crater and then some burned out cars. Thats consistent with a rocket striking the parking lot and setting the cars on fire. Hamas, though, blames israel for this explosion, without providing evidence that can be independently verified. And so while bbc verify continues its investigations as do many Weapons Experts based on available evidence, its not possible to be definitive about what caused this.

In per capita terms, it would be equivalent to 40,000 americans dying on 9 11, 13 times those that died, so it is just unacceptable for men is really perspective, especially given the barbarity of the attacks, to allow hamas to continue to exist and function just a few miles from innocent israeli men and women and children looking to live their lives.

We will leave it there, then. Brad bowman, thank you for your input and your thoughts. During his visit to israel, President Biden restated his administrations commitment to peace between israel and the palestinians. One area where both live and work together, is eastjerusalem. Under international law, its considered a part of the west bank, and therefore, palestinian territory. The bbc� s clive myrie been to find out what both communites the bbc� s clive myrie been to find out what both communities think about the events of the last few days. In occupied eastjerusalem, some palestinians and jews living here prefer to keep a wide berth. But cheek byjowl, they live. To reach the western wall, a sacred site in thejewish faith, you went to the old city ofjerusalem through the damascus gate, an important cultural icon for palestinians. And in between, along al wad street, competing narratives of who owns the ancient stones beneath their feet and beyond. Hyatt ali is 78, watching events in gaza with sorrow. Translation we cant doj anything, just pray and cry. There is nothing, nothing. God help us all. Moshe knobel, who works in a synagogue on al wad street, says he knew in his heart israel did not attack the hospital in gaza, that anti israeli propaganda is everywhere. So it is clear in your mind what happened in gaza . With the hospital . Last night . 100 . Even biden that came here today said, i checked it out and its not the israelis. So there is a lot of lies, a lot of fake news. It is much quieter here today. The palestinian shops are closed in protest over the Gaza Hospital blast. But the Israeli Defence force remains on guard. There is a tension here, with the nation at war. Broken by the exuberance of youth. We came across nitai atari and his friends, all 19 years old, with their lives ahead of them and the pride in their nation. Like, i dont hate palestinian people. I hate terrorism. Its really hard for us to live here, but were not going leave, this is our land, our home. Then, as the call to prayer sounds, riyad najib appears with his son. For palestinians, the gaza blast and Everything Else they have endured over decades, they blame on israel. Translation yes, honestly, the feeling was pain and sadness, for what the occupation has done to us, crimes towards our people in this holy land. This is not the first crime and not the last. How old is your son . Four. Four years old. Do you think he will grow up to know peace in this land . Thank god, all of us love peace, but how many times have we just talked about peace . 0f of course, we continue to track this as The Big Story in the big newsline thatis as The Big Story in the big newsline that is coming up after the us president s visit there, according to us president , egypt has agreed to open up the Rafah Crossing Into Gaza to allow humanitarian aid to enter the territory, and finally that is in the form of 20 trucks carrying aid. We will see how that is carried out, but that is offered newsday at the moment. Stay with the bbc for regular updates. All for newsday. Thanks for watching. Hello there. Well, storm babet continues to push northwards across the uk. Its impacts are likely to be felt for much of the rest of the week. In fact, the met office has issued its highest level of alert. Its a rare red warning, in force for rain, valid from 6pm on thursday evening, right through until midday on friday. Its for North Eastern areas of scotland, Parts Of Angus and southern aberdeenshire. The totals are really going to start to stack up. The rain is quite widespread across the uk as we head through the rest of the week, but nowhere more so than across North Eastern areas of scotland, where there could be as much as two months worth of rainfall by the time we get to the end of the day on friday, around 200 to 250 millimetres of rain. And that heavy rain is moving northwards. This is storm babet, of course. The winds are strengthening out towards the east coast of scotland. Gusts of wind here of around 70 miles an hour. The winds lightening towards the south. Its turning drier here. It is a mild start to the day, but of course, the temperatures are largely academic. And so that rain will continue to push northwards as we head through the morning. Sunshine and showers, some of the showers possibly heavy and thundery across england and wales. The rain will start to turn very heavy, very persistent. It aligns with that strong South Easterly Wind as we head through the day on thursday and it willjust keep coming as we come into thursday night and friday morning itself. So that South Easterly Wind driving more rain, acting as a kind of conveyor belt. And there are wider amber Weather Warnings in force across scotland as well, another one for rain across caithness and sutherland. And this one is for wind, too. Now, with that brisk South Easterly Wind, its not the prevailing wind direction, so there could be some trees down, likely to be some impacts from these strong, gusty winds. But this, of course, is of most concern within the red warning area. Now, there could be some extensive flooding, possibly some deep, fast flowing flood water, maybe some structural damage as well, some very tricky travelling conditions as well, so dangerous for travel. And then we see a second area of low pressure. Thats just going to enhance the rainfall a little further, i think, on friday. But then as that low pressure builds through, we still see these gusty winds out towards the east coast. The focus of that rain will tend to be across central areas of england, down through parts of wales and particularly the South East Of England as we head towards the end of the day. Still very windy for eastern coasts, but at least the Rain Lightens across scotland. Do keep tuned to the forecast. This is bbc news. Well have the headlines at the top of the hour, as newsday continues straight after hardtalk. Welcome to hardtalk, im stephen sackur. Presumably President Joe Biden flew to the middle east because he believed he could achieve something positive in the midst of the war between israel and hamas. But by the time he landed in israel, the plan to go on to meet arab leaders was off, amid the fallout from a deadly blast at a Gaza Hospital, the disputed circumstances of which have further heightened anger and the fear of what comes next. My guest is Us Democratic Party Congressman adam smith. How does the us navigate its multiple interests at this time of maximum danger . Congressman adam smith, in washington, welcome to hardtalk
