of the world. i have some friday sunshine. but by the time we get to the weekend, more wind and rain. all the details on breakfast. it's friday, the 17th of november. the main un agency in the gaza strip says it will have to suspend its aid operations due to a lack of fuel, which has also led to internet and telephone services in the territory being cut off. the israeli military claims to have found evidence of hamas ocupation during its raid of al—shifa hospital, including a tunnel shaft. hamas is designated a terrorist organisation by the uk government. our middle east correspondent yolande knell reports. the first evidence of the tunnel at al—shifa hospital, israel's army says, but not the vast underground hamas command centre which it had said was hidden under the building. hamas and medics deny that here. an israeli soldier also shows the haul of weapons said to have been found in the compound. we cannot independently verify this footage. hundreds of palestinians, including newborn babies, remain trapped at the hospital without power. meanwhile, the body of yehudi weiss was found in a house nearby, israel's military says. she was one of about 240 hostages snatched by hamas on the 7th of october. they believed more were here. we had strong indications that they were held in the al—shifa hospital, which is one of the reasons we entered the hospital. if they were, they were taken out. we have intelligence about the hostages. meanwhile, in southern gaza, where most of the strip�*s population was told by israel to take refuge, conditions are increasingly dire and israel has told tens of thousands more people to move from their homes and shelters as it looks to expand its offensive here. translation: you want me to introduce myself? - i have nothing to say. i am a citizen like other citizens who fled south. they asked us, the citizens of gaza, to go to the south. we went to the south. now they are asking us to leave. where do we go? we want to understand where exactly we should go. for the first time in the war, this week israel allowed a small amount of fuel into gaza for un vehicles, but not for telecoms firms, hospitals or water or sewage pumping. un officials warned they cannot work. if the fuel does not come in, people will start to die. exactly as from when, i don't know, but it will be rather soon than later. and the un says that from today, no humanitarian aid will be able to enter gaza from the rafah crossing because of the lack of fuel. six weeks into this brutal war, there is no end in sight and the humanitarian catastrophe is deepening. middle east correspondent yolande knelljoins us now, you've been hearing more on the israeli operation today. lines from the israeli military. an update on the hostages. they say they found another body in a building close to al—shifa hospital in gaza, a young soldier, corporal, and we were told early in the week she had been killed by the israeli military and that came after hamas said she was killed in an israeli air strike. there has been an announcement from the israeli military�*s chief of staff who was talking to troops in gaza and said they were close to dismantling hamas�*s military system in the north of gaza and were ready to move to other areas which seems to confirm they will move on into parts of the south. we know leaflets were dropped on towns telling tens of thousands of people to move. it has been causing a lot of panic because of the fact people have been displaced and do not know where to go to for safe shelter, particularly with the onset of winter. two days of heavy rain this week is making them aware of the flimsy structures they are staying in. we heard about sewage coming up into the streets of rafah, the other main town in the south of gaza. all the panic and confusion compounded by what is a total blackout on phone and internet communications from israeli providers. we have more now. the ongoing debate about the new version of the rwanda plan. the chancellorjeremy hunt has said the government can't guarantee that flights deporting asylum seekers to rwanda will take off next year. the prime minister had said he was aiming for the first removal flights to leave in the spring, despite the plan being ruled flights to leave in the spring. recently sacked home secretary suella braverman has criticised the plans in this morning's daily telegraph. politcal correspondent iain watson joins us. we have heard details from government. the criticism comes from the sacked home secretary. we government. the criticism comes from the sacked home secretary.— the sacked home secretary. we did not exect the sacked home secretary. we did not meet her— the sacked home secretary. we did not expect her to _ the sacked home secretary. we did not expect her to go _ the sacked home secretary. we did not expect her to go quietly - the sacked home secretary. we did not expect her to go quietly but - the sacked home secretary. we did not expect her to go quietly but i i not expect her to go quietly but i think she will make interventions and this is the latest effectively trashing rishi sunak�*s plans. once the supreme court said the scheme was not lawful he said a new treaty they were working on, and wanting mps to pass a law to say rwanda was a safe country and he thinks that will see off court challenges. his hope and perhaps others is there would be rwanda flights in the spring. she says there is no chance of this unless he goes further. her suggestions are that you get uk observers into rwanda to look at how asylum claims are processed to make sure people are not sent to unsafe countries. that is a concern of the court. she says that you need a new law that says britain can ignore the international obligations, the european convention on human rights, the un refugee convention, all that when it comes to people who arrive here by illegal roots. she said if rishi sunak did not do that there is no chance of lights before the general election and she also wants to effectively cancel christmas for mp5, saying it is so urgent they mps, saying it is so urgent they should come into the house of commons and pass this during the christmas and new year break. opposition parties take a different view. they say the scheme is not workable but instead rishi sunak should simply ditch it.— a powerful group of mps has said they have no confidence the government will deliver on its promise to build a0 new hospitals in england. a damning report by the cross—party public accounts committee criticised the programme's lack of progress since the 2019 manifesto pledge. the department of health and social care says nothing's changed and it still plans to deliver on the promise by 2030. two 12—year—old boys are due in court later, in wolverhampton. shawn seesahai's body was found on playing fields on monday. he'd been stabbed. the boys — who can't be named for legal reasons — are also accused of possessing a bladed article. they will appear before magistrates in birmingham. american rapper sean "diddy" combs has been accused of rape and sex trafficking by his ex—girlfriend. in a lawsuit, casandra ventura said she was repeatedly abused during their decade—long relationship. mr combs strongly denies the allegations and has accused her of blackmail. thousands of people have been moved from their homes in iceland after hundreds of small earthquakes in recent days and fears of a major volcanic eruption. our correspondentjessica parker joined iceland's coastguard on a helicopter flight over some of the volcanos that previously erupted there, and sent this report. the long road into grindavik — a town on the edge of this volcanic island. those who've had to leave hope for a chance to briefly return. we get permission to go in. inside, it's a ghost town that's being violently ripped apart. there's no time to waste for residents. it's grab and go. how does it feel having to pack up all your belongings like this? it's horrible. yeah, just terrible. just getting things for my kids and getting out of here. they have five minutes to decide what to save from further earthquakes or a possible eruption. you really feel the town could be destroyed? yeah, i believe so. already, half of it is destroyed. and the next few hours or days will tell us what what is going to happen. suddenly, we're told we've got to go. everybody. evacuation? there was a bit of a commotion and we were told the whole area was being evacuated. a stream of cars, those that were in grindavik, left. everyone seemed to be packing up. it was, we later hear, alarm that magma may be nearing the surface nearby. the recent earthquakes are beyond what anyone is used to. the wrench of having to leave your home beyond words. jessica parker, bbc news, in grindavik. she goes by the name of "momma jane" to her son's friends, but now a superfan of the us rapper 50 cent has been catapulted to international stardom. 64—year—old jane farquharson was filmed at this gig in birmingham on tuesday. 50 cent shared a video of her dancing calling her the coolest person at his show by far. later she said she was amazed by the response. when i opened up my phone and saw all these messages, i mean i must say goodwill messages, i was flabbergasted. to be honest with you, and i know this is cheeky, i would like to do a meet and greet with 50 cent. that is on our bucket list. ross and i would really love to do that, so as in his lyric in da club — come on baby give me a hug. i'm ready. you do not ask, you do not get. i have a feeling that will happen. 0f have a feeling that will happen. of course it is. here's matt. are you both well? very well, thank you. if this is the picture for today, even better. a bit of spring in the step. it will change. some sunshine butjust about all through today. this morning we will see showers around particularly in parts of western england and western wales. this is where they are. moving in in a band in the past hours across the irish sea. there have been some overnight but this is the greatest chance of showers. either side, a cold start in north and east of scotland with fog. that will clear. the showers will fade this evening. for most, a dry day and a sunny afternoon before cloud in the south—west. feeling cool. 6-12. not in the south—west. feeling cool. 6—12. not far from where we should be in november. at the end of the day, cloud increases and in the rush—hour, rain spreading through devon and cornwall and wales and northern ireland. the wet weather will spread across most parts tonight. early frost across northern and eastern parts but temperatures will lift later in the night and these are the temperatures to start tomorrow morning. milder tonight for some in the south and by day. strong winds in the west. this weekend, the winds in the west. this weekend, the wind will be a feature. quite strong at times. particularly england and wales on sunday but not a complete wash—out with the rain because there will be sunshine and compared to today, it will feel milder. rishi sunak has pledged to tackle what he's called the "scourge of potholes" with £8 billion of investment in local road maintenance in england over the next 11 years — money from the cancelled northern leg of hs2. it comes as the wife of a cyclist who died after hitting a large crack in the road called on the government and local authorities to do far more. jayne mccubbin went to meet her. harry college defied the odds. well into his seventies, he cycled some of the most challenging tour de france climbs. he was a talented musician and artist. he didn't send his wife valentine's cards. instead, he painted for her. harry wasn't a typical 84—year—old, by any means. he was the principal clarinet with blackpool symphony for well over 50 years and he kept himself fit by cycling almost every day, as he was still doing well over 100 miles a week. for him, cycling was his first love, ithink, and, as it turned out, his last. this was the last photo harry took on his mobile phone on a bright winter's day last christmas. onjanuary the 2nd, he set out for a new year ride but suffered catastrophic injuries when his bike hit an 87m—long crack in the road. it was a needless death. it shouldn't have happened. you know, it's that crack had been reported several times and the state of the road had been raised at a parish council meeting in september before harry had his accident. so it shouldn't have happened. harry shouldn't have died that day. one local farmer was so concerned, she sent this photo to the council. this is where harry's front tyre became lodged. but there is no nationally agreed definition of a pothole. workmen sent out to make repairs simply missed this. the crack was eventually filled in three days after harry died. daisy clough cafe is popular with cyclists in lancashire. this is where harry and good friend nigel were heading on the day of the accident. and ijust slowed down a bit for him to catch me up towards where the crevice is in the road. and he didn't catch me up. his bike went down the crevice — bang. head, neck — broke his neck, broke his vertebrae in a couple of places, brain damage. he died at the scene, basically. they're filling potholes in and not cracks, crevices. there was ample opportunity to put this right? more than enough. he was great. he was one of the best people i've ever met. lancashire county council have confirmed repair work has been done and the road is now regularly inspected. today, the government announced an extra £8.3 billion over the next 11 years to resurface roads. but the association which represents local authorities says this isn't enough. so of course we welcome the £8 billion, but it's not the £14 billion we need. and it's a real issue because it's not all the money today. it's over the next decade. and that's, again, an issue because that's only £750 million a year, which equates to about 800 miles of road being resurfaced. we need to do more. is this his wedding ring? it is, yes, it is. the nurse brought it to me in the hospital and it's stayed there. i can't take it off. and that's why you're speaking — you're doing this for harry. i am doing this for harry. and it's not easy. you know, it's not fair to expect people to try and keep healthy — the government and health officials are all saying the same thing. go out on your bike, you know, exercise, keep fit, stop using cars, enjoy yourfree time. the roads all over the country, notjust here — the roads for cyclists just aren't safe. he should still be here. he should still be here, yeah. that was jayne mccubbin reporting. if you've got any examples of badly maintained roads near you then we'd love to hear your experiences. you can get in touch via whatsapp, as well as on social media and email. we will talk to the transport secretary at 7.30 about this. if you send a picture in, the added information is important. and the size. and if it is being there months and years. people struggle with these things so keep the information coming in. people in local areas, they almost forget they are there because you instinctively avoid them. the papers. the guardian reports that 60 senior female staff have written a letter alleging sexual assault and harassment from male colleagues at the ministry of defence. in response, the mod said it is "taking action to tackle the issues raised". the times has a story on government proposals to strip some benefit claimants of their right to free nhs prescriptions, dental care and help with energy bills — if they refuse to look for a job or undertake work experience. we'll be looking at that news in more detail at 6.30. the mirror has a story about the possibility of christine keeler being cleared of perjury due to new evidence. she was a model who found herself at the centre of an affair that rocked the british establishment in the 1960s. and one of the most read stories on the bbc news website this morning tells how a prolific annual meteor shower — the leonids — will be streaking across uk skies in the early hours of saturday and sunday. we will find out more from matt the skies need to be clear. he can tell us. a month on from storm babet, which brought record—breaking rainfall and devastating consequences, scottish councils say they urgently need more financial help to cope with the effects of climate change. in argyll and bute, some rural communities are still isolated after roads were blocked by landslides and flooding in the wake of the storm. our scotland editorjames cook has been to visit one of them. the west of scotland has always been wet, but the rain that caused this landslide was something else. it came during the wettest two days since records began in 1891. a month on, the clear—up continues, and the disruption goes on to too. in living memory there's been no significant movement on this hillside, and we had a number of other issues with 20 odd other sites and locations where we have bridges damaged, bridges had to be demolished, and another landslide event. so it wasn'tjust in this one location. so quite possibly something connected to climate change. do we need to be doing more to prepare for more of these sorts of events, do you think, as a country? that's a really good question. i think we need to have levels of resilience in place and be able to respond. people adapt. people are incredibly resilient and i think the communities of argyll and bute have been absolutely brilliant. and to avoid a repeat here, they're considering rerouting this road away from the danger of these cliffs. well, the scale of this when you're standing here is quite dramatic. it must have been terrifying as these boulders came rushing down from the hillside. it's a big engineering challenge, but it's also a big challenge for the community here. from a business point of view, obviously,it�*s been crippling — the amount of reservations that have been cancelled. at the end of the day, the most important thing to me and everyone else in this community is getting back to some kind of normality and being able to get to the towns and the villages that we rely upon. if people want to shop, ordinarily they go to oban. but hospital, doctors. it's going to be lochgilphead. it now means two and a half hours there, two and a half hours back instead of 25 minutes there and 25 minutes back. so it's notjust an impact financially on a business. there's an impact and day to day life here as well. absolutely. scientists who study the environment say we should prepare for more flooding as the leaves turn and fall, but also drier, hotter summers. we're seeing both extremes in terms of the very intense rainfall and then extremes in terms of the periods of time that we can have without rainfall. and then also the temperatures that we're experiencing in our summers, we're experiencing in our summers. which are going to be higher. are higher already. yes. for the children of redfern all of that means a change in routine. with the road to school still blocked, they're heading off every morning, not by bus, but by boat. what's it like taking a boat to school? it's peculiar. it's fun. thing is, ialready feel like i've been doing this forever. yeah. how long have you been doing it? i don't know. like a couple of weeks. i think that we should definitely try to be active in climate change, if that can stop stuff like that happening. they are adapting here, but chartering boats, rebuilding bridges and re—routing roads doesn't come cheap. the local council is calling for more help to cope with the costs of climate change. james cook, bbc news. there are concerns over the security of online market places after the chinese—owned site temu was accused of allowing the sale of potentially illegal weapons on its platform. peter's looking at this for us. you need to explain this to me.
