"we're being killed and no one is doing anything about it," this man shouts. abed is still breathing, in critical condition. doctors scramble to treat the boy. on the floor, by his bed, they check his father for a heartbeat. they can't hear it. his family in shock, still finding out... ..who�*s been rescued, who's survived and who hasn't, from 30 members. this is their youngest. injured, but not seriously. the family had fled to deir al—balah for safety from zeitoun in the north. a bit later, brother ali is taken to identify the bodies. four of the family have been killed. little abed didn't make it. "we thought we'd come to a safe place "but no one is safe in gaza," ali says. these were four of thousands of gazans killed. "goodbye, my dear," his mother says, "you're with god now. "you were such a good son." grief is one form of suffering in gaza. this is another. hundreds gather outside one of the few flour mills still running. the manager tries to pacify people. "we haven't eaten for two days," some in the crowd shout. translation: we've escaped death but now are dying slowly because of a severe shortage of food, flour and basic needs. we are a family of eight. i bring discarded paper cups to keep my children warm. people are also struggling to find drinking water and there's not close to enough aid coming in for gaza's 2.2 million. all but a tiny handful of whom can't get out. yogita limaye, bbc news, jerusalem. in israel, families of those held hostage by hamas — which is designated as a terror organisation by the uk — have been marching from tel aviv tojerusalem calling for them to be brought home. the more than 230 hostages include young children, women and elderly people — and the funeral took place today of one whose body was recovered by israeli soldiers from gaza. our senior international correspondent orla guerin reports from jerusalem. an israeli hostage, held by hamas, home only to be buried. noa marciano was a soldier. she wasjust i9. the army says she her body was found near al—shifa hospital in gaza. translation: we tried i everything to get you back. for a0 days we turned every stone and searched every path. today, we ask for your forgiveness. and no safe homecoming for another hostage, 65—year—old yehudit weiss. she too was found close to al—shifa according to the army. yehudit was a grandmother of five. her family has a message for benjamin netanyahu, the un and the red cross. such tragedies could have been avoided if we only had someone who really cared about all those kidnapped. bring them home now! there are about 240 hostages in gaza. their families and friends are marching towardsjerusalem, heading for the prime minister's office with one demand, bring them back, whatever it takes. the marchers have been on the move for days now. they want to keep their loved ones in the public eye. they want to keep up the pressure on the government. hopes have been raised of a deal that might bring some of the hostages home, but for now, all they have is the agony of waiting. i can't stop thinking about it. this is my days. these are my days. tagit zin has two much—loved nieces who are among the hostages. ella is eight and a keen dancer. 15—year—old daphna is into tiktok and make up. hamas livestreamed the attack on their home on october 7th. theirfather, noam, in the black t—shirt, was killed, with his partner and her son, who were seated alongside him. tagit believes her nieces saw it all. she says it is clear in a picture of daphna in captivity issued by hamas. you can see the despair in her... ..face. you can see how she is despaired. do you have hope that they will come home? i know that they will come home. i know they will be back. but it takes too much time and our government, they are the only ones that can stop this in this minute. for now, there's no deal and the hostages are at risk, notjust from hamas, but from israel's air strikes on gaza. orla guerin, bbc news, jerusalem. orla's in jerusalem tonight. nearly six weeks into the conflict. how long do you think it might go on?

day 42 and no indication that this is slowing down. in fact in . this is slowing down. in fact in areas of southern gaza to which palestinians were told to flee, they are now being told by the israeli military to leave, so palestinians fear they are going to see an escalation in the south on top of what has already been witnessed in the north. we have had the un warning of the immediate danger of starvation and we have most of the hospitals out of action and we have growing international pressure not just from france and the uk, but increasingly from the us which is talking about the need to protect civilians. the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has admitted for the first time that his forces have failed in their attempts to minimise civilian casualties. he is blaming hamas for that and he has set himself a very broad target, very ambitious and very vague, to destroy hamas in gaza, but what does that look like? and who is to say when the target has been achieved? if he has a timeframe for exiting gaza and a clear plan for the day after, he is certainly keeping it to himself, but it is worth saying that because of what israel experienced on the 7th of october, because of the horror of those attacks, that killed 1200 people and the manner in which they were killed, and that horror is still reverberating here, he has very strong support from the israeli public. there is no sense here of israelis telling him enough is enough. people in the region for your that this offensive in gaza, this war which has been so devastating for the palestinians, it will only be brought to an end when the americans really tell the israelis that enough is enough because at the end of the day it is the americans that the israelis listens to and we are not hearing that yet. the israeli foreign minister said there were 2—3 weeks before real pressure would start to come, so the pressure is building but it does not seem to have reached a tipping point yet as far as israel is concerned.— a tipping point yet as far as israel is concerned. there's more coverage on our website including international editorjeremy bowen's analysis of the continuing israeli search of al shifa hospital in northern gaza. here, everton football club say they will appeal against the points deduction that sees them drop to close to the bottom of the premier league table after they were found to have broken financial rules. they were found to have breached the limit of how much clubs can overspend, as our sports editor, dan roan, explains. commentator: it's everton who win! everton have been on a decent run of form in recent weeks, but today any sense of optimism around goodison park evaporated, the club stunned after being docked ten points by the premier league for breaking financial rules in an unprecedented punishment. in a statement, an independent commission said... the premier league had wanted everton docked 12 points after claiming that under owner farhad moshiri, it had far exceeded its spending limits, which permit losses of £105 million over three years. everton said costs of their new stadium and the impact of the pandemic should be factored in, but the commission ruled that its losses were £19 million more than allowed. today the club released this video statement... we believe the sanction is disproportionate and wholly unjust. the club's view is that the harshness and severity of this punishment are neither a fair nor a reasonable reflection of the evidence that was submitted to the commission. for that reason, the club intends to appeal the outcome. today's ten—point deduction comes into effect immediately, plunging everton from 14th to 19th in the table and into the relegation zone. they've jumped through the hoops asked of them. they've gone through the last few seasons with a salary cap in place. that's already having hands tied behind your back with regards to sporting integrity, and yet found this huge points deduction come on top of that. so the feelings are a bit raw at the moment. having narrowly avoided the drop in recent seasons, everton�*s fans have been increasingly unhappy with how the club's been run and now face the prospect of another relegation battle. officials here at goodison today said they were shocked by the severity of the punishment, and there will no doubt be concern over the potential for clubs relegated in recent seasons taking legal action and uncertainty over what this may all mean for a prospective takeover by american investors. but everton are not the only premier league club whose finances are under scrutiny. chelsea are under investigation by the league for alleged payments linked to former owner roman abramovich. champions manchester city were charged with more than 100 breaches of the premier league's rules, denying wrongdoing. many feel this marks the beginning of a period of turbulence. dan roan, bbc news, goodison. the chancellor, jeremy hunt, has hinted he may cut benefits and reduce taxes, when he delivers the autumn statement next week. in a bbc interview, he suggested cutting tax on business would be his priority, to boost growth. he's today announced £4.5 billion in subsidies and grants for companies in key manufacturing sectors, as our economics editor, faisal islam, reports. what britain makes and how we make it is transforming, from electric vehicles to heat pumps to this facility in sheffield, producing a key machine for clean hydrogen energy. this is actually turning hydrogen into clean energy. across the world, governments are throwing hundreds of billions at the green industries of the future. today, ahead of the autumn statement, we got britain's admittedly more modest version of this. their competitors are getting loads of money from their governments. what about you ? well, we are putting in support. we're not going to get into a great big subsidy race. we recognise you've got to be pragmatic. sometimes you have to offer targeted support. 400 miles to the north in aberdeenshire, also at a hydrogen energy facility, the labour leader, sir keir starmer, was making rather a similar—sounding offer on greenjobs. what you would have with a labour government is a real drive forward to the jobs of the future, which bring with them lower bills, which bring with them security so putin can't put his boot on our throat, and of course, the next generation ofjobs. today the chancellor allocated £4.5 billion in green industry grants from 2025. just under half will go to the electric vehicle industry after existing funds were drained. £1 billion will go on green energy like hydrogen. back in sheffield, it's clear some future industries need a leg up to compete. adam, tell me what i need to do. but with a stagnant economy, the government too could also do with some nicely timed factory openings. could we imagine that you'll attract kind of famous american electric vehicle entrepreneurs, for example, to open a factory in britain? i would love to have a tesla factory in the uk any time, let's be clear. is that what are the couple of billion are for? well, we are putting £2 billion, this is targeted support. but actually, i spoke to elon musk about this and he said it's not about the support, its about the environment. and he loves london. let's see what happens there. but the chancellor is facing political pressure to find some space for festive cheer or anything for households too. in terms of tax cuts, you'll have to wait and see, but i will say that the priority is helping businesses like this to succeed. but you could squeeze benefits? it was due to go up by 6—7% and you could use the different inflation figure and save £2 billion or £3 billion, apparently. well, we will always be a compassionate conservative government, but part of how we make our economy successful is by making sure that companies like this company can find the staff they need. and that is a clear hint that billions could be squeezed from the welfare budget by changing the usual measure for the annual uprating of benefits, and that money could be used for more general household tax cuts. the big message, though, from the chancellor is that after a tricky political week, next week's autumn statement is all about getting growth going again, and business investment. and so, for all the hot air about tax cuts, its business taxation where the big action will be at next week's autumn statement. faisal islam, bbc news, in sheffield. lets ta ke lets take you back for a moment to these scenes from months ago. storm babet triggered record rainfall, destroyed thousands of homes and left seven dead across the uk, including three in scotland. scottish councils are now saying they need urgent financial help to cope with the effects of climate change. our scotland editor, james cook, has been back to see how people are coping in some of the worst affected areas. it has been a tough autumn in aberdeenshire and angus. storm babet left three people dead, hundreds of homes flooded and here in brechin, a clear up operation which is not over yet. on the date of the floods, this was really high?— was really high?
