a spectacular light show across the skies of the northern hemisphere. the northern lights are expected to continue this weekend. the in greetings, throughout viewers around the world. i'm michael. israel has called on palestinians to evacuate more parts of rafa, as well as to northern guns and neighborhoods. these really military says more than 300000 people in rafa have already fled the area as fighting between israeli troops and palestinian militants intensifies in the southern region which borders egypt. heavy plastic there have left crucial aid crossings inaccessible. according to these rarely, military homos is trying to rebuild its capabilities in the north of garza. i asked,

i would use one corresponding abraham about the renewed evacuation and whether these are early signs of a major offensive on rough as well as real as really officials and the prime minister of israel have been cleared that going into a roof. i is a priority up for them to the israel would continue with these plans at despite, as you mentioned, international warnings from the international community not to do so. and in fact, warnings from israel's closest allies. the nights i like the united states, not a to do so so far into israel has been operating in a rough up, but with air strikes that they claim are targeted to carry straight. so we're talking about an area that is very much dense, densely populated with over 2000000 people sheltering in that southern most part of the strip. and there have been things, as you mentioned, at the, at the,

at the border crossing between a rough and egypt on the a guys side of the border. and certainly these new evacuation orders and the images that we're seeing right now with people rushing out of that southernmost areas seem to suggest that an operation is eminent. however, analysts have also suggested that this invasion, eminent invasion on rough or something that's a little bit more invasive than what we've seen so far is a bargaining chip for these release as it is now. certainly the last of what they say is the last part of the strip where there are, there are still have much a battalion. so it's a, it's unclear but certainly something that they've said that these rules have said they are willing and prepared to continue with just out of curiosity. how did the

people in rasa get the latest evacuation orders? i will, according to i witness reports, they've gotten them through text or even phone calls. there are also requests that are often being dropped in these areas as a way to warn people. that's what is real always because it's, it's, it's an attempt to try and um, you know, minimize civilian harm and to get civilians out of harm's way. but as you meant to humanitarian organizations have also been saying that this, you know, warning people when there's no real safe place to go, or no place where the basic needs survival exist is, is, is, is useless anyway, because where are these people, these hundreds of thousands if not millions, suppose to go in in a tiny piece of land that has been under constant berman bombardment for almost 7

months now. okay, that is a abraham enjoys alone many. thanks you a meanwhile, the un security council is calling for an independent investigation into reports of mass graves found near hospitals rated by israel in garza. a mos accuse is israel of killing the victims and burying them. but israel says palestinians buried the body. it's a warning, this report contains distressing content of the rescue. workers uncovered dozens of bodies as she saw hospital over the past few weeks. hundreds of corpses have reportedly been found in gas as north and in the south. now sir, hospital and han unice. people have been coming to see if they're missing loved

a right to know what happens that out of competing negatives around several of these mess graves, including seat is obligations that some of those, but it's what and lawfully q is real, says palestinians buried the bodies and that is really forces examined them while searching for the remains of hostages, taken by a mass in the october 7 terror attacks. but gas and officials accused israel of killing and burying them. israel has carried out raids in both hospitals alleging have mast militants use them as command centers and to hold hostages. mass grave, excavations are complex, and the sites have already been disturbed. uncovering the truth of what happened could prove difficult. a brief look now at some of the other stories making news around the world. the u. s. is criticized israel's use of american weapons in the

joseph klein, it is still quite mysterious and i suspect it will be a while before you know, the full story book is a statement confirming his disqualification. the european broadcasting union said the swedish police have investigated a complaint made by a female of the production fruit, which came off for an instant following his performance in the semi final on thursday. and the, the swedish piece of separately said that they're investigating what they cool on local trucks and they've intervene by trying. i'm just a key. the one thing the, the news has stressed and did stress in his statement was that this did not involve another to format, or anyone connected through another come feet that occasion because it has the speculation that it was linked to israel delegation particularly off the on 1st age, i used to klein and he, he, he was, he sort of challenged um, is i was a contestant by she was awesome that she was worried about creating an extra risk

for all the performance. and she said, i call comments on that. and he said, well, i know it's in the way, it was contrary to this impressive book, and it was absolutely nothing to do with us. aware solar storm has lit up the night sky and countries who rarely get to see the natural light show. the aurora borealis . the northern lights dazzled over the u. k. germany, french, the us, and many other countries across the hemisphere or us space, whether agency issued a severe jewel, magnetic storm warning, when a solar outburst reached earth on friday afternoon, the rare event caused solar flares that meant the dancing lights could be seen much further south than usual, let's talk dilute, bernard, a space, whether it's scientist at the university of reading. luke, it's nicer. have you with us in many regions like here in berlin or in southern england where you are. it's very rare to see the northern lights. why is this happening now?

yes, i say the stones can provide a range of different uh, posits to services that we rely upon bacon interrupt or radiate communications. they can provide challenges for power, distribution networks and also electronic systems on soft lights and across. but it's important to note that whether this was a large geometric storm, it's probably the largest we've had in the last 20 years. um, the services that i bought mitigations in place and say that was because they were aware that it was going to happen and say they think about proper actions in place to keep all the surface rely on operating loop. the images they produce are clearly spectacular for all those viewers who missed the northern lights last night, is there more to come? and it's lucky to be able to see the northern lights this this evening as well. there's a, there's a more c emmy's on the way from the sun around to arrive is the next of next day, or say, and there's still lots of energy in the, the us, my bank failed,
