This is bbc news, the headlines. The uns chief speaks out on gaza as the strip faces famine he says there is still time to halt the crisis. As talks on a possible ceasefire resume in qatar, well speak to an expert on whether the conflict has weakened hamas. Wanted someone whos self motivated, empathetic and fine with showering once every two weeks to work in antarcticas penguin post office. Those stories in just a moment. First lets head to the bbc sport centre. Hello there. Lets bring you up to date with the news around Premier League side Nottingham Forest. Bbc sport understands the club have been docked four points for breaching premier League Profit and Sustainability Rules. It puts the club into the bottom three with immediate effect. Lets get some more on this now with our sports news correspondent laura scott. What does this Points Deduction centre around . These are the Premier Leagues profit and Sustainability Rules which governs how much a club can lose over a three year period. Typically it is £105 million over three years or £35 million per campaign but this is reduced if a club has spent time in the championship, as Nottingham Forest had done during the three years of assessment. Because they had spent two years in the championship, they were permitted maximum loss of £61 million. What we have heard from the Premier League this afternoon is that they exceeded that by {34. 5 million and, as a result, the independent commission has docked them four points. This, crucially, drops them the Relegation Zone beneath luton town, with nine games to go. To beneath luton town, with nine games to.

I think, given what we saw with everton appealing deduction . I think, given what we saw with everton appealing their. Saw with everton appealing their Points Deduction of ten, and that was reduced to six on appeal, i think it would be surprising if Nottingham Forest accepted this without at least exploring the opportunity to appeal, given how important and significant this Points Deduction will be for potentially their survival in the Premier League. They do have that opportunity to appeal but we havent yet heard whether they will. They get given seven days to decide whether to appeal. Clearly this is hugely significant, notjust whether to appeal. Clearly this is hugely significant, not just for fans of Nottingham Forest, but luton fans of Nottingham Forest, but luton fans as well. And indeed all clubs will be taking notice of this decision because these are new rules that are put in place, to mean that any potential breaches of these profit and Sustainability Rules are dealt with in that season. We have seen what has happened with everton. Now it is Nottingham Forest and we know Manchester City have several charges looming over them. This is becoming an increasingly significant matterfor becoming an increasingly significant matter for all becoming an increasingly significant matterfor all premier becoming an increasingly significant matter for all Premier League clubs and fans, of course. And fans, of course. Laura scott, thank you and fans, of course. Laura scott, thank you very and fans, of course. Laura scott, thank you very much. Well, lets take a look at where that leaves forest. Now in the bottom three, below luton town who jump above them. Forest now a point from safety. The club were held to a draw by luton at the weekend, after conceding a late equaliser. Britains most successful female 0lympian, dame laura kenny, has annouced here retirement from cycling. Her retirement from cycling. The 31 year old won five 0lympic Golds and seven World Championship titles in a distinguished career on the track. She gave birth to her second child injuly and had previously been targeting a fourth 0lympics in paris this year. People were asking me what competition i was going to, what Training Camps i was going to. It was just filling me with dread. I just didnt want to leave the boys. When you start getting those feelings, cycling is so 21w, you cannot do itjust 50 , youre either in or out, and i knew then, i think this is my time, i need to step away from this. Rory mcllroy has welcomed the meeting between the Pga Tour Board and Saudi Arabias Public Investment Fund chairman in an effort to bridge the gap between the two entities. Negotiations are continuing between the pga tour and the pif, which funds liv golf, about a potential merger. I think it should have happened months ago. I am glad that its happening and hopefully that progresses conversations and gets us closer to a solution. I see the two entities and i think there is a really big disconnect between them. 0ne over here, the other out there doing their own thing. So the closer we can get to them hopefully finalising that investment, i think that will be a really good thing. And thats all the sport for now. We will be back with more later on. More on our top story now, and the Israeli Army Says it has killed the head of operations in hamass internal Security Force during a raid on gazas biggest hospital. The military also made dozens of arrests in Al Shifa Hospital in gaza city. Palestinian Health Officials say a number of people were injured in the raid. Benjamin Netanyahu BenjaminNeta Nyahu HasBenjamin Netanyahu has been speaking about israels objectives. Haw Benjamin Netanyahu has been speaking about israels objectives. About israels obectives.

We define it also as a return of the hostages which were working on now, that is why i was a bit late because we have to instruct our delegation. We define it also as preventing the return of gaza becoming a threat to us at any time in the future. If we achieve these goals then we will also deliver a stinging blow to the iran terror acts, which is behind everything we are seeing today. That is something that we all have to understand, that this is notjust israels battle, it is a battle for our future, but it is a battle for our future, but it is also the battle for the victory of the israel, american, moderate access against the iran access. Unless we have that victory that i talked about, and we have a defeat. And a defeat spell terrible things for our future and for the future of The Middle East and beyond The Middle East. This is a war of civilisation against barbarism, those who want to bring back The Middle East to the middle ages, early middle ages, and those who want to see it going through a century of progress and advance in the 21st century. That is the battle, it is a very big battle. The people of israel are united as never before. This is something that should inform everything that we discuss now. United as ever before and the need to have that victory over hamas. United as never before and the effort thatjoins the battle against hamas to return the hostages and united as never before in ensuring that gaza does not become a terror haven understood sort of threat to israel in the future. After nearly six months of fighting in gaza, how weakened is hamas . And what is their political strategy . Lets speak to Ibrahim Dalal sha, director at Horizon Center for Political Studies and media 0utreach. Thank you so much forjoining us live here on bbc news. Let me ask you that straight forward question. After six months, militarily, you that straight forward question. Aftersix months, militarily, how you that straight forward question. After six months, militarily, how we can do is hamas . I actually think that we can focus on the military capabilities. There are many indications that show hamass Military Wing has been weakened, significantly, i would say. 0n the morning of october the 6th, seventh, sorry, there were 3000 rockets fired from gaza towards israel. That is a sign what they have in terms of rocket firing. When you look at the situation inside the gaza strip in terms of. Inaudible the third point which is more domestic, but we see a diminished capability of the militant wing of a mass word mac. The militant wing in terms of controlling or maintaining the Central Control that they had before, whether it is in the south, the north of the central areas of the north of the central areas of the gaza strip. There is no precise account of how exactly this level of damage that was sustained by the Military Wing but there are clearly indications that there are a lot of it has been destroyed. If indications that there are a lot of it has been destroyed. Indications that there are a lot of it has been destroyed. If you add to that the infrastructure it has been destroyed. If you add to that the Infrastructure Destruction l that the Infrastructure Destruction that the Infrastructure Destruction that we have seen and we still see, and continue to see in the gaza strip, almost turning into a wasteland, i really think that between October The 7th and where we stand today there has been a huge destruction to the capabilities of the Military Wing. The Military Wing. Diminished capability. The Military Wing. Diminished capability, though, the Military Wing. Diminished capability, though, because, | the Military Wing. Diminished i capability, though, because, as the Military Wing. Diminished capability, though, because, as we have seen with this israeli operation at Al Shifa Hospital, they said they targeted hamas. This is an area they said they had under control a few months ago. They have managed to reappear there. Us intelligence says that, in the future, hamas will be able to continue a lingering armed resistance for years to come. Is that what you anticipate, that, in fact they revert to Resistance Tactics . £31 fact they revert to Resistance Tactics . U, ~ fact they revert to Resistance Tactics . , ~ , fact they revert to Resistance Tactics . , ~ ,. , tactics . Of course. Ithink, ust to be clear on tactics . Of course. Ithink, ust to be clear on this i tactics . Of course. Ithink, ust to be clear on this one, tactics . Of course. Ithink, ust to be clear on this one, the h tactics . Of course. I think, just to be clear on this one, the question that i was basically answering is the level of destruction has been weakened. If you ask me whether there will be a situation where there will be a situation where there will be no mass word mac goodman fighting to the last man standing, total eradication and elimination, of hamas as an organisation, i tend to disagree totally because that is a situation or a goal that is an apostle paul to achieve. Impossible to achieve. The conflict in gaza is not only a conflict that started on October The 7th. With go back a0 years there were people who are confronting the israeli army throughout the years. Again if we are talking about the situation where the entire Entity Of Mass Word Mac and its three structures as a Military Wing, is a government and Political Organisation would have to be defeated and eliminated off the face of the earth, then i simply would stand to actually say that this is not an achievable goal. You talked about the governance not an achievable goal. You talked about the governance of not an achievable goal. You talked about the governance of the not an achievable goal. You talked about the governance of the gaza l about the governance of the gaza strip. Is that element over now with hamas, and in terms of how palestinians in the region spirit, they will obviously blame israel, in a large part, four, of course, what has happened since October The 7th, but how much people there, palestinians, blame hamas for the destruction . I palestinians, blame hamas for the destruction . Destruction . I think, frankly, the question of destruction . I think, frankly, the question of blame destruction . I think, frankly, the question of blame is destruction . I think, frankly, the question of blame is essentially l destruction . I think, frankly, the i question of blame is essentially not the immediate one on peoples minds right now. In a conflict like the one we have, a territorial conflict, people under occupation, you will always find voices who would actually blame hamas, but those are not the higher voices because because the question of being under occupation continues to stay higher in peoples mindset. If i may, i just want to say, on a more accurate assessment, and research we have done recently, which informs us that hamass capability of Governing Gaza has been eliminated in so many different ways because, not only because of the massive destruction of its own government infrastructure, but also because of the huge damage inflicted on civilian infrastructure. Hamas, even if the water stops now this minute, does not have the resources and access to meet peoples needs in terms of reconstruction and provision of services. Without going into the question of blaming, but basically, the assessment is that hamas is no longer in a position to regain governance of the gaza strip and there is one more important point that i have to mention here, is that it was an israeli prime ministers policy, mr netanyahu, over the past 15, 17 years, where he was actually cooperating with the finances of the hamas governance capabilities in gaza a strategy that he had of own. Sanctions alone cutting that policy, in addition to the destruction we have spoken about, i dont think hamas is in a position to retain governance of the gaza strip any longer. We position to retain governance of the gaza strip any longer. Gaza strip any longer. We have to leave it there gaza strip any longer. We have to leave it there but gaza strip any longer. We have to leave it there but thank gaza strip any longer. We have to leave it there but thank you gaza strip any longer. We have to leave it there but thank you for i leave it there but thank you for joining us life here on bbc news. Thank you for your time. Around the world and across the uk, you watching bbc news.

There is a huge rally in its early stages there in Central Moscow because, in the next little while, we will hear from Vladimir Putin after that victory in the election in the election of course that the west has described as not to free and fair, but 87 in terms of the figures that have been collated, supporting Vladimir Putin, as he goes into another term in office. Large crowds gathered there, no surprise in terms of the election result, given that all forms of opposition have been so totally crushed inside russia.
