we'll take your questions about the ongoing situtation in the middle east. among those doing the answering is our chief international correspondent, lyse doucet. social media site x bans searches for taylor swift after explicit fake images of her appear online. the organisation that was supposed to be treating a man for paranoid schizophrenia before he went on a violent rampage and killed three people is to be investigated. the families of those who died, barnaby webber, grace o'malley kumar and ian coates, are demanding answers from health authorities in england about how the attack was allowed to happen. the bbc�*sjon kay has been speaking to barnaby�*s family, who say support for the victims needs fixing. yeah, so this was barney's room. remembering his big brother. seven months on, charlie webber says losing barney will never get any easier. i mean, obviously, it's massively, massively devastating.

and i think... i need people to realise that it's something that isn't just affecting my life, it's affecting everyone�*s life. like, people i'll know in the future, people i know now, people around me, everyone�*s life is affected. people who didn't even know him, but they know me, it's affecting them because it's affecting me. so it affects everybody. the thing for me that wakes me up, and it's almost the first thing i think about, is going into the hospital when we had to go and see... 0h. don't _ ..when i had to go and see my beautiful boy. barney's parents, david and emma, have told breakfast they had a call from the prime minister after their son was stabbed to death. but they say it was six days before they were offered any specialist counselling. that first week of just shock and despair, yeah, that's when you kind of need it the most. barney and his friend grace o'malley—kumar, were heading home to their university accommodation in nottingham when they were

fatally stabbed last june. school caretaker ian coates was the third victim of paranoid schizophrenic valdo calocane, leaving their families shattered. barnaby, grace and ian have been failed here. the system has failed. the support, or lack of support, for victims and the families is shocking. having now been in the system and seen how the system deals with things, it's got to change. last week, a court accepted calocane�*s pleas of manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility. he will be detained indefinitely at a high security hospital. when you heard that the court was going to accept manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility, that there wouldn't be a murder conviction in this case, what was your... 7 sick to my stomach. hello! how are you?

0h, rubbish. barney and grace's parents didn't know one another until their children were killed together, but now they are joining forces. i like to hope that wherever they are, they are together. and i do feel that they probably are together. the families believe justice has not been done. they say the police, the crown prosecution service and the nhs still have questions to answer, and they want to know if their children's deaths could have been avoided. the heartbreaking thing is it was their last few days, last week of term, and ijust still can't get to terms with that. both families say they will campaign on issues like knife crime and getting better support and counselling for grieving relatives. if the prime minister phoned you now and said, after everything you've been through so far, what do you think should happen to help other families who might face this horrendous situation in the future, what would you say?

what would you tell him is needed? the ministry ofjustice need to throw proper, considered resources together to support, because the devastation that this has caused... i also think i'd be doing barney a disservice by not using the voice that we've had thrust upon us to try and make some change. shortly before he was killed, barney had told his mum and dad about a special friend called grace. he said they had so much in common. now their families are united in their determination. now it's time for your questions answered. welcome to your questions answered.

iran's denial of the lastest drone attack on an american military base injordan has increased tensions in the middle east. president biden says the united states will respond and he's blamed radical iran—backed militant groups operating in syria and iraq. the attack targeted a us base in north—easternjoardan near the syrian border. it is known as tower 22. it is believed the drone struck the living quarters at the base. three service personnel were killed and 3a were injured. let's bring in our panel. before that we should update you with what is happening inside gas at the moment. the israeli military says it has killed dozens of palestinian gunmen across gaza in intensive operations over the past 2a hours. it says ground forces carried out several attacks around khan younis.

palestinians continue to search for places of safety. the hamas run health ministry saved more than 26,000 people in gaza have died. well, let's try to understand what could happen next has the tensions ratchet up even further in the region. we want to hear from you with your questions. we have an expert panel here to help. with me is our chief international correspondent, lyse doucet, and parham ghobadi, senior reporter with the bbc�*s persian service. alsojoining us down the line is fawaz gerges, professor of international relations at london school of economics. he's in london. i think it is important to really set the scene. i backed groups have fired rockets and drones at american outposts throughout the middle east. 0n outposts throughout the middle east. on 160 occasions. that isn't the

outposts throughout the middle east. 0n160 occasions. that isn't the 7th of october. that is a lot. is there a inevitability about this happening, that one will get through and cause a loss of life? it is incredible — and cause a loss of life? it is incredible when _ and cause a loss of life? it 3 incredible when people look and cause a loss of life? it 1 incredible when people look at the numbers because so much is happening right across this region ever since the israel — gaza war erupted on the 7th of october. even though the us within days moved warships into the mediterranean to send a warning to all the many actors that they shouldn't think of enlarging and intensifying this conflict, the reality is fires have been burning on every front, including in iraq and syria. at least 160 attacks on american interests, american bases where american forces are operating and have done for many years in iraq and have done for many years in iraq and syria. 0ne and have done for many years in iraq and syria. one of the last attacks that drew attention was when one of the groups connected to this umbrella grouping, the islamic resistance in iraq, endured us

spoke of a one—off strike against the 50s which were attacking vessels in a vital red sea shipping lane. they said, oh, no, we willjust write them once and send a clear message, but here we are, they are still striking at toothy targets in yemen. not only has it not stop the footies, they have doubled down and it is catapulted the hit these to the centre of world attention, which is exactly where they want to be. all of these things help to give a much more visible presence to this so—called axis of resistance of iran's allies across the region. they see themselves as standard burdens —— standard bearers for the palestinians in this crisis. brute burdens -- standard bearers for the palestinians in this crisis.— palestinians in this crisis. we have this question _ palestinians in this crisis. we have this question from _ palestinians in this crisis. we have this question from chris _ palestinians in this crisis. we have this question from chris in - palestinians in this crisis. we have | this question from chris in london, he wants to know if the us and uk have brought in the conflict rather
