the strikes killed at least 230 people in gaza while hamas militants have killed at least 300 israelis and taken dozens of hostages, both military and civilian. overnight, israeli security forces rescued some hostages who had not been taken back to gaza and re—took a captured police station. in the last few hours, they have shelled enemy positions in lebanon after reports of incoming artillery in northern israel. our reporter simon jones has the latest. what israel is describing as its "mighty vengeance" on the palestinian militant group hamas. overnight, gaza has been rocked by explosions. earlier, warplanes at several buildings in the centre of the city. —— earlier, warplanes hit several buildings in the centre of the city. the israeli defense forces has released these pictures,

which they say are hamas cells being targeted. the israeli military trying to show they are on the front foot after being taken by surprise by the hamas attacks. the israeli prime minister issued this morning in a televised address. translation: all of the places hamas is active in in the city of evil, _ all the places hamas is hiding in, operating from, we will turn them into ruins. i'm telling the people of gaza, get out of there now because we're about to take action everywhere, with all our force. this is how the attack by hamas began yesterday morning, armed men cutting through israel's perimeter fence accompanied by a wave of rocket attacks. hamas releasing this footage showing an israeli tank being targeted. it was a highly planned operation catching israel off guard.

israelis who'd been at a rave in the fields near gaza were forced to flee for their lives. they were going three by three and shooting — pow, pow, pow, pow — everywhere, from two sides. and i saw many people, like, were dying, like, allaround. allahu akbar! israelis were seen been taken into gaza as hostages. more than 50 soldiers and civilians are believed to have been taken captive, though some have been rescued or released overnight. the leader of hamas, which governs gaza, has promised to end israel's occupation of palestinians�* land. translation: we are on the verge of a great victory and a clear- conquest on the gaza front. in the israeli city of sdrot which came under attack, a bulldozer is used to break into a police station where hamas were thought to be hold up.

the british prime minister has described the actions of hamas as cowardly and depraved — a view shared by the us president. innocent people murdered, wounded. entire families taken hostage by hamas just days after israel marked the holiest of days in thejewish calendar. it's unconscionable. when i spoke to prime minister netanyahu this morning, you know, when i spoke to prime minister netanyahu this morning, itold him the united states stands with the people of israel in the face of these terrorist assaults. israel says it's cutting off the supply of electricity, fuel and goods to gaza but last night, tel aviv came under rocket attack. the escalating violence will be discussed today at an emergency meeting of the un security council. hamas shows no sign of pulling back. the israeli prime minister is warning of a long and difficult war. diplomatic efforts to stabilise what is the largest escalation in this conflict for decades won't be easy. simon jones, bbc news.

our security correspondent frank gardner has been looking in detail at the hamas invasion and the intelligence failures which allowed it to happen. this map here gives you some idea of the extent of hamas�*s infiltration across the border from gaza into southern israel. these are 17 locations where we have verified the presence of palestinian militants in this attack. now, all these cross—border infiltrations by palestinian militants, taken together with the thousands of rockets fired at israel, represent a massive intelligence failure from israel. it should've seen this coming because they had regular military patrols going along that border. this is footage taken some years earlier. but they had cameras, sensors, informants inside the militant groups and yet, hamas was able to charge through that border, crossing it with things like this bulldozer, paragliders, by land, sea and air.

and, all the while, hamas has been sending more missiles into places like this, tel aviv — this office and residential block here — hitting buildings while the israeli air force hits gaza. however this ends, it will go down as one of the worst failures of israeli intelligence in 50 years. we will be returning to the situation in israel shortly but for now, let's hand over to ben with the rest of today's news, including a severe disruption in scotland due to the heavy weather. that's right, sarah. thank you very much. an amber weather warning, meaning there's a danger to life, remains in place in parts of scotland after a month's worth of rain fell in 2a hours yesterday. it caused landslides and severe travel disruption, with ten people having to be airlifted from stranded vehicles in argyll and bute. charlotte gallagher reports. a month's worth of rain in just one day has left parts of scotland submerged and at a standstill.

this landslide in argyll left ten people stranded with a coastguard helicopter deployed to airlift them to safety. trains are badly disrupted with no cross—border services running to and from scotland. sometimes, alternative transport has been needed. and it's notjust humans that are affected by this rainfall. we've got a bit of a problem here. the met office is warning flooding and fast—flowing rivers and streams could pose a risk to life and damage property. conditions in some parts of northern and eastern scotland are too treacherous to begin the clear—up. but, despite the bad weather, some special events did go ahead. charlotte gallagher, bbc news. labour is pledging to cut nhs waiting lists in england by funding two million more hospital appointments a year, paid for by ending

the non—dom tax status. the announcement comes as the party conference gets under way in liverpool. our chief political correspondent henry zeffman is there. henry, talk us through the details of this policy and the timing of it. it's expected to be announced as part of the conference?— part of the conference? that's riaht, part of the conference? that's right. one _ part of the conference? that's right. one of _ part of the conference? that's right, one of the _ part of the conference? that's right, one of the policies - part of the conference? that's right, one of the policies the i right, one of the policies the labour party are announcing over the conference is to do with cutting waiting lists for the nhs. it is a big part of the political debate at the moment and one of rishi sunak�*s priorities and this is labour's own version of how they would cut waiting lists so they said they would use of the proceeds abolishing non—dom tax status, that's the tax status which means that some people who live in the uk don't have to pay uk tax on earnings they make abroad. labour say the proceeds from abolishing that status, increased tax revenue, would be used to pay certain nhs staff over time and as a result, they say they would unlock 2

million more appointments a year. it's worth noting although the policy is new, we have heard before that labour want to abolish non—dom tax status, it's one of the big revenue bases, their big differences with the government, and i think it may be a bit of a thing for this conference. not non—dom tax status perse conference. not non—dom tax status per se but the labour party basically finessing existing policy rather than a lizard of new policy because fundamentally, keir starmer is a long way ahead of the poles and he does not want to slip—up. his critics say he is being cautious, his allies say he is simply being sensible. i think it will be a key sort of debate of this conference within the labour party is to what extent keir starmer needs new policies or whether he just needs to explain a bit more to the british public who he is.— explain a bit more to the british public who he is. henry, for now, thank you — public who he is. henry, for now, thank you very — public who he is. henry, for now, thank you very much. _ public who he is. henry, for now, thank you very much. we - public who he is. henry, for now, thank you very much. we will. public who he is. henry, for now, | thank you very much. we will have more from henry later in the morning, live from the labour conference in liverpool. nearly 200 people have died and at least 1,000 more have been injured after a powerful earthquake

falling. it has eased off in intensity but the dark blue means another batch of rain working itself eastwards and the met office has the amber warning eastwards and the met office has the amberwarning in eastwards and the met office has the amber warning in place from the grampians towards the murray coast and this is where the worst potentially may be today, already around abby more severe flood warnings in place. things will take a while to improve. that rain will be sitting on the weather front for much of the day across the same sort of areas and probably heaviest through this morning, bright colours here, north of that, some bright conditions in shetland and the rain will ease off in intensity and not as much rain in southern scotland today as yesterday but a few patches. the odd splash around northern england and murky and some sunny spells. further south, away from low cloud, another sunny and warm day. temperatures yesterday the highest they have been since october 2018. very similar today. through

tonight, the rain will come and go and heavier bursts working south and could be windier, easing into tomorrow morning. most other areas remaining dry and mild and humid night for some, remaining dry and mild and humid night forsome, especially remaining dry and mild and humid night for some, especially northern england, around 17 degrees. at the start of the week, still have the impacts of the rain across scotland but a brighter day for many and write up a chair rain across central scotland and still some sunny spells and temperatures still reaching the mid—20s. molderacross and temperatures still reaching the mid—20s. molder across parts of scotland. tuesday, expect more rain to return to scotland, especially for the north and west. showers also expecting northern ireland and northern parts of england. much of wealth, central southern england stay dry and sunny and low cloud and still temperatures well above where they should be at this stage in the year. things will even out as we get to the end of the week and a deep

as israeli missiles pounded buildings which were said to be hamas targets. the israeli military also warned residents of seven areas across gaza to leave their homes, suggesting a possible ground offensive. we're joined now by dr atef alshaer, who is a senior lecturer on arabic language and culture at the university of westminster. he's also a british—palestinian. good morning and thank you for being with us. when you see and hear those images, coming from gaza overnight, what is yourfirst images, coming from gaza overnight, what is your first response? i images, coming from gaza overnight, what is your first response?— what is your first response? i think it is very tragic _ what is your first response? i think it is very tragic and _ what is your first response? i think it is very tragic and it _ what is your first response? i think it is very tragic and it is _ what is your first response? i think it is very tragic and it is very - what is your first response? i think it is very tragic and it is very sad i it is very tragic and it is very sad and it is devastated for gaza, which is a ready been devastated for more than a decade now. from siege and blockades. its population is already suffering so to add this to the normal suffering in gaza is definitely alarming and horrifying, really. definitely alarming and horrifying, reall . , ., definitely alarming and horrifying, reall. ,. definitely alarming and horrifying, reall. ,, definitely alarming and horrifying, reall. , really. israel says this is a response _ really. israel says this is a response to _ really. israel says this is a response to an _ really. israel says this is a | response to an unprovoked really. israel says this is a - response to an unprovoked attack

soon or not, remains to be seen. the seed soon or not, remains to be seen. the speed of the — soon or not, remains to be seen. the speed of the escalation of the conflict in just a matter of hours yesterday, this is taken many by surprise. just explain for us if you will, i know you have studied, the previous conflicts and fighting, this is not a new conflict, but what makes this different this time around? , . ., makes this different this time around? ,.. ., ., ., ., , around? the scale of it, that hamas manaoed around? the scale of it, that hamas managed to — around? the scale of it, that hamas managed to surprise _ around? the scale of it, that hamas managed to surprise israel, - around? the scale of it, that hamas managed to surprise israel, by i around? the scale of it, that hamas managed to surprise israel, by the i managed to surprise israel, by the sheer scale of it to be able to have, some primitive really, but effective, sort of landing in israel. and to use the sea and all forces to be able to enter into these communities that are very fortified over very many years and decades, that are seen as

impenetrable, that you cannot really go through them. this is a huge operation and for hamas, a very successful operation, and one that will have a lot of consequences for the palestinians in terms of dealing with some of the issues that have been calling for them to be resolved, particularly for the issue of palestinian prisoners. there are more than 5000 palestinian prisoners in israel and they have been suffering and calling for release and so this will be consequential in terms of prisoner exchange, i imagine. and there will also be the conflict itself, some aspects will be resolved through some change and trade to be negotiated. but it cannot be war all the time. an unsettled situations. and suffering. particularly for the palestinians in gaza. �* �* , particularly for the palestinians in gaza. �* v ., ., particularly for the palestinians in gaza. �* �*, ., ,, ., ., gaza. and let's talk about that because the — gaza. and let's talk about that because the military _ gaza. and let's talk about that because the military have i gaza. and let's talk about that i because the military have warned residents across seven areas of gaza now that they should leave their

show their heroic actions in the face of this enormous situation. but as far as gaza is concerned, medical supplies are also running out, hospitals are already overflowing with injured people, so it is going to add to the tally of suffering and pain in gaza. and i cannot really see this being resolved through war or more action. or through incursion because this will also incur severe consequences for israel. it is very good to have you on the show, thank you. let's take a look at today's papers, which are dominated by events in israel and gaza. the sunday express headline is: "human shield horror" with a picture of what it reports to be an elderly israeli woman being taken captive.

it also has a picture of a captured tank. the observer has a similar image of a captured israeli tank at the gaza strip fence. the paper points out that the surprise attack was launched on the morning of a jewish holiday. the sunday times front page shows a woman being led to safety as she clutches her young daughter in her arms with a fire blazing in the background. "the sophistication of the surprise assault stunned israelis," the newspaper writes. other countries around the world have been showing their support for israel. the brandenburg gate in berlin was lit up in the blue and white of the israeli flag last night, as was the empire state building in new york. we will have continuing coverage of

the escalating conflict on the programme for you. and more information on the bbc news website. we will keep you right up to date on events there as they happen. we are talking about sport and another big evening in rugby world cup? ireland will face new zealand in the world cup quarterfinals after a comfortable 36—14 win over scotland. the world's number one side are going to take some beating. defeat for scotland though means their tournament is over. they were really unlucky in being drawn in the pool. it was a great variety.

katie gornall was watching in paris. sweeping into paris, a celtic fusion of colour and noise. fans arrived at the stade france showing plenty of spirit. but also knowing that one miskick and this could be where the adventure ends. this ireland side are ranked number one but at a world cup they have not yet lived up to the hype. any doubts about their strengths were put to rest within seconds as james lowe raced over with their first attack. scotland tried to respond but were faced with a wall of green — painful to watch, and to play in. captainjamie ritchie's game was over before it began. then hugo keenan launched his own assault on the scoreboard. everything was going ireland's

way, a fourth try bonus point was ruthlessly seized before half—time. for scotland, it was all but over. and there was no let up. scottish frustration was there to see. ireland would score six tries in total, including this one from garry ringrose. eventually scotland sparked into life but it was far too little, far too late. 36—14 it finished. for scotland it is all over. i learned with f 17 straight victory and they could go all the way. a party will be back in next week for a blockbuster with the all blacks. katie gornall, bbc news, paris. england, having already qualified for the last 8, laboured to a close 18—17 win over samoa in theirfinal pool game. they made a good start with owen farrell converting

ollie chessum's try. that means he's now surpassed jonny wilkinson as england's leading test points scorer. samoa were the better side for much of the match until danny care's late converted try got england over the line. louis rees—zammit scored a hat—trick as wales beat georgia 43—19. that leaves them top of pool c and sets up a likely quarterfinal meeting with argentina orjapan, who play later. the win came at a cost though — taulupe faletau suffered a broken arm which rules him out of the rest of the tournament. max verstappen will start this evening's qatar grand prix as a three time formula i world champion. he achieved the feat with six races to go after his closest rival and red bull team—mate sergio perez crashed in yesterday's sprint race. verstappen went on to finish second to mclaren's oscar piastri. the dutchman is now aiming to beat his own record of 15 wins in a season, which would mean winning half of the remaining races. possibly the biggest match of the season in the premier league later. arsenal could replace north london rivals tottenham at the top with a win over defending champions manchester city at the emirates.

yesterday, manchester united were just minutes away from a third straight home league defeat before coming from behind to beat brentford 2-1. scott mctominay scored both united goals in stoppage time. the win leaves them 10th and eases the pressure on manager erik ten hag. you have to have a little bit of a look or a lot of a look but you have to make the look! and scott came in with that attitude and he was right on the spot and he was so front footed and determined to score a goal and today he is the mirror of the team. they were so determined to win the game and that is why we won. chelsea also came from behind to beat burnley. this goalfrom raheem sterling the third in their 4—1 victory. the blues have now won successive league games for the first time this season. and at goodison park, everton beat bournemouth 3—0 to record their first home win of the season. jack harrison's strike the pick of the goals. elsewhere, spurs beat luton 1—0 to go top of the league.

third—placed rangers travel to second placed st mirren in the ealy kick—off in the scottish premiership later today. rangers are ten points points behind leaders celtic, who beat kilmarnock 3—1 yesterday. luis palma with the pick of their goals at celtic park. wigan warriors will play catalans dragons in the super league grand final. wigan thrashed hull kr by 112—12. liam marshall scored a hat—trick for the cherry and whites as wigan secured their 12th appearance in the end—of—season showpiece. catalans beat st helens on friday. great britain are still without a medal as we head into the final day of the world gymnastics championships in antwerp. max whitlock could only manage fifth place in saturday's pommel horse final. he's the olympic champion in this event but a mistake proved costly as he came off the apparatus during his performance. ireland's rhys mcclenaghan went on to win gold to retain his world title. that is all the bought from us for now and cricket world cup is going on today with india against australia, a huge match this morning. we will see you then. thank you, gav.

let's return now to our main story, which is the escalating violence in the middle east following an invasion yesterday by hamas militants into israel. gunmen from gaza marauded through communities in southern israel, taking dozens of hostages and killing civilians, apparently at random. more than 300 israelis are said to have died, although some hostages have been rescued. israel responded with a series of air strikes on gaza, which included the complete destruction of an ii—storey tower block which houses hamas radio stations. at least 230 people have died in gaza. israeli troops are still fighting militants in southern israel. they have recaptured this police station in the city of sderot, which had been taken by the hamas fighters using a bulldozer. there are signs of the violence spreading elsewhere to a limited extent with a volley of artillery from lebanon. israeli troops returned fire.

we will stay right across that story and bring you any further developments if and when we get them. it is a fast—moving story and there is a bbc live page up and running with the latest. it's approaching 6:32 am. we've heard a lot about xl bullies in the last few weeks after they were involved in a series of attacks and by the end of the year, they won't be allowed out in public unless they are muzzled. they'll also need to be neutered as part of a ban on the breed. our reporter nicola haseler has been speaking to xl bully owners and a trainer who is helping to get them ready for the new rules. ididn't i didn't have a life before i had him, i was a recluse and couldn't leave my house and he gave me a lie. he is the most loving dog i have ever— he is the most loving dog i have ever had — he is the most loving dog i have ever had. he is a part of my family and he_ ever had. he is a part of my family and he will— ever had. he is a part of my family and he will stay with me. no matter what _ and he will stay with me. no matter what. ,, .., and he will stay with me. no matter what. ,, .. ., and he will stay with me. no matter what. ,, ., , ., , what. she came into my life last ear and what. she came into my life last year and i _ what. she came into my life last year and i got — what. she came into my life last year and i got cancer. _ what. she came into my life last year and i got cancer. the i what. she came into my life last year and i got cancer. the bond | what. she came into my life last i year and i got cancer. the bond we made _ year and i got cancer. the bond we made in _ year and i got cancer. the bond we made in that— year and i got cancer. the bond we made in that time _ year and i got cancer. the bond we made in that time and _ year and i got cancer. the bond we made in that time and how - year and i got cancer. the bond we made in that time and how it- year and i got cancer. the bond wej made in that time and how it made year and i got cancer. the bond we i made in that time and how it made me feel was_ made in that time and how it made me feel was wonderful. _

guest earlier that the logistics and difficulty of that for many people in gaza city to be able to leave their homes. we also heard from the prime minister benjamin netanyahu, vowing mighty vengeance, he says, on palestinian militants for what he called a black date of attacks. the camera just moving, you can see a different shot of gaza city and the smoke rising from the city. you are watching live pictures and we will speak to our correspondence in gaza later in the programme at the top of the hour and talking to a correspondent injerusalem as well to bring us all of the latest news from that area and also with this news that coming this morning potentially that the violence is spreading, a volley of artillery we are hearing from lebanon with israeli troops returning fire so clearly, still worrying news coming from the middle east. we'll be back with the headlines at 7:00. now, it's time for the travel show.

i'm in a wild country! a place bursting with life and stunning landscapes. this is costa rica. over the past couple of decades, this small central american country has been transformed into the eco—tourism beacon of the world. each turtle is unique and they have a lot of things to teach me. whistles. i'll be meeting the people trying to protect costa rica's remarkable treasures. oh, cool! yeah, yeah, yeah! we want you enjoy the natural and connect with birds. this is a beautiful rainforest right next to the ocean. it's very important to take care of this. and i'll be finding out what challenges costa rica's tourism boom poses for its green revolution.

costa rica. and this is a country that i have wanted to visit for years, partly because i've never been to central america but also i've heard so many good things about this place. rainforests, amazing beaches and colourful animals. but i'm starting myjourney somewhere a little bit different — the capital, san jose. this is a proper capital city.

it's loud, it's bustling, there's people everywhere and it's pretty congested. buses are the cheapest way to get around here. excuse me. sorry. can we get on? over there? ok, great. even if they're a little confusing to a first—timer. hola. thank you. hablas ingles? how many stops? cinco? cinco, yeah? 0k. sighs. made it. made it! well, that was fun! a bit sticky and flustered, i'm heading to a more peaceful spot. for many visitors, sanjose isjust an entry point to then go and see the rest of the country's incredible landscapes. but i'm about to meet a man who lives and breathes the city, and says there's plenty here worth sticking around for. roberto. hello. very nice to meet you. what a place this is.

so calm. yeah! why do so many people leave the city, then? why are they not sticking around? yeah, there are many things that we need to improve. that congestion is sometimes a problem. then, we need to create more places for the people. there is a project that is trying to create a new place where you can walk, where you can ride a bicycle and you can interact with nature. roberto guzman is a tour guide and wants to share with me his favourite hidden gem of the city. this is a very special place. just a stone's throw away from the noise and traffic is a community venture that hopes to open up much of sanjose's undiscovered green spaces. so we have to go this way? yeah. and so, we're going to see some butterflies right now. wow! and then, we are going to be walking more into the wild, to say something. —— to see something. oh, wow! 0k. and this is still sanjose, the same place...? this is san jose. ..that, earlier, we had so much traffic and busyness.

exactly. i feel like within the space of two minutes, 50m walk, we've gone from complete urban sprawl to the nature, the landscape everyone raves about when they talk about costa rica. which way are we going? wow! ok, and you see now, it looks like we are in a national park or something. this is the first time since i've been in this country that i can hear birds. they're not being drowned out by the traffic or the noise. yes, exactly. like that. birds chirp as part of a wider project to create new public spaces and a biological corridor through the city, 25km of forgotten rivers are being restored. so, qasa, this is the place... local groups like rio urbano want to reclaim these lost treasures. here, we have annette. hi. and annette is part of rio urbano. nice to meet you. lovely to meet you, annette. oh, thank you for having me. so, what are you up to?

well, i'm cleaning the river. you want to help? yeah! yeah, sure. wow! i'll be honest, i didn't expect to be doing this when they said, "come to costa rica". this simple filter helps trap pollution and rubbish, making it easier to clean the river. laughs nearly went then! 0h! oh, god. 0h. look at this. 0h. annette, how am i doing? you're going great. you need to aim for a little more. a little bit more. 0k. i need to get my hands dirty, don't i? that's the thing. roberto, what are you doing just standing there? come on! oh, yes. yeah, roberto, it seems like there's a proper ethos here for looking after this country, this environment. yes. i don't know if you have heard the expression in costa rica, pura vida. pura vida? yeah. no. what's that? well, pura vida in english

is literally "pure life". pure life. every costa rican use that expression. it's also, like, a way of life. we try to be a greener country but we need to do more in order to be greener. i love that phrase, pura vida! pura vida. chuckles leaving the buzz of sanjose, i'm off to what's known as the amazon of central america, tortuguero national park, where eco—tourism is having a positive impact for the wildlife there. wow, it is hot today! sighs. so, that is the end of the line for the van because where we're going, there aren't any more roads. right. all i know i've got to do now is find a captain called hermelo. there doesn't seem to be anyone here. uh... i'm sure i'll find him. hello? do you know where captain hermelo is? hermelo. 0h! hi! around 80% of visitors

to costa rica come here for nature—related activities. hola, capitan. ready to go? happy music plays woo—hoo—hoo! yes! ever since i've been a child, being on a boat hasjust been my absolute favourite. i love it. it's just so chill, really relaxing. and what a way to take in costa rica! snaking their way through hundreds of miles of tropicaljungle, these waterways are the main entry point to the national park.

here we are, the village of tortuguero, and it's mad! haven't seen anyone for, like, two hours coming up here. and this place now... sorry. tranquilo. tranquilo ..absolutely rocking. i love it! although this place is pretty much in the middle of nowhere, tens of thousands of people come to visit every single year, and most for one reason — the sea turtles. tortuguero is a key nesting site for three types of sea turtles, including the endangered green turtle. one of the biggest threats to these animals comes from poachers targeting them and their eggs, which they lay on the beaches here.

local conservation groups say that the turtle—spotting tours help keep a watchful eye over them. but they mainly nest at night, and so it's a late one for me. hello. hi. i'm looking for caitlin. it's me. hi. caitlin rankin, from the sea turtle conservancy, has been helping to protect these creatures since she was 12. so maybe you can help me with it? it's the calliper. what's this for? it's for taking measurements of the carapace — from the turtle. wow. yeah. are they that big?! they can be. laughs really?! wow! yeah. until one metre and...a half sometimes. oh. i hope we see some that big tonight. yeah. that'd be amazing. when we get to the beach, we'll have to turn off our lights as they can scare the turtles. but if we're lucky enough to find one, we can switch to our sensitive red lights. when you get there, how do you find the turtles in the dark? oh, we look for tracks first, and the tracks looks darker than the sand. we follow the tracks and we find the turtle. oh, can't wait. let's get going.

look at this. yeah. it's beautiful, right? my eyes are already adjusting... i can actually see your face. i can see everything around me. but i can't see any tracks yet. can you show me? there's one. what? so this is...down track. so these turtle already left. but it's an up track. so we have a turtle up there. aha! one is here somewhere? yeah. we just got an up track. right. we've got to find it. yeah. do you hear that? what's that noise. it's the turtle. that's the turtle? yeah. you can turn on your light now. it will be easier to see her. and we can get closer. oh, wow. what was that? she's throwing a lot of sand because she's camouflaging. just got a bit of sand in my eye. that's ok. so she just threw up sand

with herfront flipper, like, really strong behind to hide the nest, the egg chamber. got ya. there's a lot of sand. laughs yeah. she's saying, "yeah, you got close enough." laughter 0k. so what kind of turtle is this one? well, it's a green sea turtle. yeah. they can weigh until 200kg. wow! yeah. tortuguero is the second—most important in the world for green sea turtle. so we have good numbers, but the whole population is going down. so how does your organisation help all these turtles? well, we take measurements of the female and we tag her. we know one turtle can lay up to six or seven nests each season. we know they wait until two or three years to come and lay again. and we know all of that because of the tags. so can we measure it? sure. but i'm going to do it first and then you can try it.

0k. all right, let's go. we place this in the beginning. and we take it all the way to the end. 0h. is she done? i think...i think she leaving. she's done?! yeah. right, we need to get out of her way, don't we? yeah. you cannot be in front of her. you can't be in front? no. 0k. what a moment! look at her! for me, this is really special. how do you feel, given the fact you've done this so much? does it still have that special feeling? yeah. i get, like, really impressed with turtles and how majestic they are and how beautiful they are. each turtle is unique and they have a lot of things to show me and teach me. talk about your luck being in. incredible!

i've been up all night, but, boy, was it worth it! saw sea turtles right up close and personal. and it was just absolutely amazing. and when you witness something like that, of course you understand why people here in costa rica care so much about their environment, and they have that connection with nature. it's been incredible. costa rica has a wealth of biodiversity. around 500,000 species live here. this small country is famous for exotic mammals, reptiles... ..and creepy crawlies. but whilst eco—tourism

can help with their conservation, there remain concerns over the current tourism boom. in addition to more and more tourists coming here every year, thousands of foreigners are also buying their own piece of paradise in costa rica. hi. busy, busy around here. seems to be a lot of people doing some work. construction. hi. gabs, right? gabs acevedo lives in a uvita on the pacific coast, and designs adventures for tourists. let's do this! he wants to show me just how quickly his area is changing. wow. there's a lot of construction going on here, isn't there? yeah. and you wouldn't imagine, but this is a beautiful rainforest right next to the ocean. they've been, you know, doing terraces and clearing the area. so how long has it taken for all these developments to spring up on this mountain? two years, three years. yeah?

yeah. it's been just going faster and faster. cos we have this development coming up here. that is going to be a very nice house one day. are they all of this size, all of this magnitude? you know, this is probably the most modest house right here. really?! i think so. who's buying that house? well, i can tell you who's not buying that house, because definitely not costa ricans. yeah. these houses, i've heard they go around $2.5 million. so is this kind of becoming, like, an expat mountain? yeah, it's kind of incredible because around 90% are from the united states. and the scale of the development is huge. i've heard that the project's up to maybe 90 of these houses around there. 90 houses on this mountain?! that's going to be a very busy mountain, you know? how do you feel, seeing this? nature is very important to me, and i feel like the attraction of coming to costa rica

is enjoying nature. but if you come to costa rica to live in your, you know, million—dollar house, and you won't have those macaws anymore and you don't have the monkeys anymore, then you might as well just buy another house in malibu or wherever, you know? and gabs believes the impact on wildlife here is already under way. i was driving down when i saw a puma right here. so when was this? how long ago? this was maybe, er, two months ago. not that long. yeah. this is exactly where it went. right here. right down here? right here. it's very important to have wildcats in this mountain... loud drilling ..and the noise and the construction... we've got drilling going on right now. that's going to keep pumas away, isn't it? and the trucks and the lights. just listen to all this noise. it's, like, this is normal here, you know? yeah. and there's another one. there's another one.

yeah, you can see how the puma, most likely in wildlife, you know, is just not going to come crossing this road anymore. i think that'll be the last time i'll be able to see something like that here in this area. that's so sad. towards the top of the mountain, gabs wants to show me why people are willing to pay millions for a place here. oh, yes, gabs. this is lovely, mate. beautiful, right? what a view! i can see why people want to develop here. can we have a place that is beautiful, but also development happens? yeah. there's actual solutions happening right now in costa rica, more sustainable eco—developments, where they're taking into account, you know, their environment, doing it in a sustainable and conscious manner. so i think as long as people are informed and they do their homework, i think we'll be fine.

so you're not anti—development? you just want it done in a respectful, responsible, sustainable way? exactly. developers here argue that the construction industry provides many opportunities and that they must abide by strict environmental laws. clearly, though, getting the balance right will be crucial in maintaining costa rica's reputation as a top destination for nature lovers. just a few kilometres away from all this construction is the oro verde reserve. it's home to rare and endangered birds. halting english: this little bird live in the primer forest, - a kilometre from here. samantha duarte runs twitching tours here. this is such a cool place, samantha. what sort of birds do we have in here? we have a special bird. the name is susie. susie? yeah, but the real name is antpitta. antpitta.

i tried to call in this place because this is the favourite place for susie. 0k. whistles you are so good at that. thank you. it's many years for practice. whistles yeah. maybe it's not here. 0k. so maybe we can go for to try to find susie. let's do it. bird—spotting is all about patience. yeah. you need to stay relaxed. everyone tells me to stay relaxed. not always my strong point. ok. i'm zen. i am at one with the forest. you are a plant. i am a plant. laughs yeah. 0k. 0h! careful. what other birds do you have here? we have trogons. we have especially a one... yeah. the name is red—capped manakin.

red—capped manakin? yeah. and the other name is michaeljackson. wait. ..michaeljackson?! yeah. the reason is because make the same dance that michaeljackson. is very fun to see. so, can you do the dance? come on. oh, no. yeah, you can! you do it, and i'll copy you. what's the dance? 0k. oh, yeah. i like it. i like it! the bird is better than us. whistles bird chirps ah! do you hear? yes! uh—hmm. i'm going to get on here. i'm going to channel my inner tree. you are a tree now? i'm a tree. you told me i'm a plant, yeah? good energies? good energies. come on, susie, come to us. whistling i sound like a drunk bird. whistling

bird chirps what's that? this is black—throated trogon. oh, it's very close. oh, yeah. yeah. whistles oh, cool. yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah! bird chirps this is the black—throated trogon. it's yellow, though. yeah, it's yellow. half yellow—throated. and in the back is...is green. it's not very common. you only see it here in the mountains. that's pretty cool. this is... you remember you asked me about my favourite bird? yeah. this is one of my favourite birds. this one?! i love the colours. it's... nice! ..amazing. go on, lad. i want to show you the people

and teach the people about the importance of the ecosystem. important mountain birds. many people only think build construction. we want you enjoy the natural and connect with birds, trees. and so for me, this is the important thing. costa rica is such a special country, and it's going to stay with me for a long time. it's done brilliantly in attracting millions of visitors, whilst also protecting its beautiful environments. but it's at a crossroads. as there's more and more development, is there enough will here to conserve the very things that make it such a unique destination? i've met a lot of people on this trip, and one thing i know for sure is they'll give it a real good go.

good morning. welcome to breakfast with ben thompson and sarah campbell. our headlines today: israel retaliates: gaza is hit by air strikes overnight as the conflict escalates with the israeli prime minister saying the country has entered a "long and difficult war". more than 500 people from both sides are dead and the israeli military says dozens of civilians and soldiers are being held hostage by palestinian militant group hamas.

agricultural community. they were rescued. the attention now very much for this country is on those people who have been taken across the border and israelis are glued to their television screens and social media where videos are being shared from within gaza of people being taken across the border, humiliating videos of people being taunted, of goods and belongings being packed onto trucks and taken back into gaza and the bodies of dead israeli soldiers being dumped on the street in gaza itself. so, we are looking at a major military escalation. the israeli government promising an unprecedented military strike in the wake of an unprecedented military adventure by hamas, the likes of which they have not seen at all and you have to go back 50 years in this country to see a day that has created so much bloodshed and this will take a long time, we're being told by israeli military, but the options for them are complicated by the fact that we think there are

dozens, dozens of families and soldiers have been kidnapped and taken prisoner or hostage inside gaza. jo taken prisoner or hostage inside gaza. ., ., taken prisoner or hostage inside gaza. . ., ., ., ., ' taken prisoner or hostage inside gaza. ., ., ., ~ gaza. jo floto, our middle east bureau chief. _ gaza. jo floto, our middle east bureau chief. thank _ gaza. jo floto, our middle east bureau chief. thank you. i we will of course keep you across that story this morning and in fact for the rest of today's news, it is over to ben. thanks very much. an amber weather warning, meaning there's a danger to life, remains in place in parts of scotland after a month's worth of rain fell in 24 hours yesterday. it caused landslides and severe travel disruption with ten people having to be airlifted from stranded vehicles in argyll and bute. charlotte gallagher reports. a month's worth of rain in just one day has left parts of scotland submerged and at a standstill. this landslide in argyll left ten people stranded with a coastguard helicopter deployed to airlift them to safety. trains are badly disrupted with no cross—border services running

to and from scotland. sometimes, alternative transport has been needed. and it's notjust humans that are affected by this rainfall. we've got a bit of a problem here. the met office is warning flooding and fast—flowing rivers and streams could pose a risk to life and damage property. conditions in some parts of northern and eastern scotland are too treacherous to begin the clear—up. but, despite the bad weather, some special events did go ahead. charlotte gallagher, bbc news. congratulations to them! labour is pledging to cut nhs waiting lists in england by funding two million more hospital appointments a year, paid for by ending the non—dom tax status. the announcement comes as the party conference gets under way in liverpool. our chief political correspondent henry zeffman is there.

time now to abolish non—dom tax status and this is a new application of how they would spend some of the proceeds they say they would raise and i think that would be a bit of a theme of the conference, not non—dom tax status specifically but i do not think we will see the labour party announcing big new tax rises or big new spending plans or all over the place, i think instead what they will focus on is presenting keir starmer to the public and saying it looks like the public is warming to the idea of a labour government but explaining a bit more about who this man who may be the next prime minister is. man who may be the next prime minister is-_ man who may be the next prime minister is. , ., ., ., ,, minister is. henry, for now, thank ou. nearly 200 people have died and at least 1,000 more have been injured after a powerful earthquake hit western afghanistan. the 6.3—magnitude quake struck at around 11am local time yesterday in herat province. the death toll is expected to rise as rescuers continue to search the rubble and survivors try to cope without food and shelter. more than 100,000 people onjersey have been left without gas

consecutive games and will be one of the favourites to lift the trophy despite never having made it past the quarterfinals. for little old ireland to be talked about in the same bracket as the all blacks shows that how far we have come as a rugby playing nation. it gets a bit tougher, a whole lot tougher next week against the all blacks, and hopefully they will need to be at their best to beat us as well. england, having already qualified for the last eight, laboured to a close 18—17 win over samoa in their final pool game. they made a good start with owen farrell converting ollie chessum's try — that means he's now surpassed jonny wilkinson as england's leading test points scorer. samoa were the better side, though, for much of the match, until danny care's late converted try got england over the line. louis rees—zammit scored a hat—trick as wales beat georgia 43—19. that leaves them top of pool c and sets up a likely quarterfinal meeting with argentina orjapan, who play later. the win came at a cost, though —

taulupe faletau suffered a broken arm, which rules him out of the rest of the tournament. max verstappen will start this evening's qatar grand prix as a three—time formula 1 world champion. he achieved the feat with six races to go after his closest rival and red bull team—mate sergio perez crashed in yesterday's sprint race. verstappen went on to finish second to mclaren's oscar piastri. the dutchman is now aiming to beat his own record of 15 wins in a season, which would mean winning half of the remaining races. it has been an incredible year, a lot of great races and i feel super proud. super proud of thejob of lot of great races and i feel super proud. super proud of the job of the team. it has been so enjoyable to be part of that group of people and to be a three time world champion is incredible. possibly the biggest match of the season in the premier league later. arsenal could replace north london rivals tottenham at the top with a win over defending champions manchester city at the emirates. yesterday, manchester united were just minutes away from a third—straight home league defeat

before coming from behind to beat brentford 2—1. scott mctominay scored both united goals in stoppage time. the win leaves them tenth and eases the pressure on manager erik ten hag. also wins for chelsea, everton and tottenham. that is all the support from us for now. we're moving to bbc two now. we'll be there and on the bbc news channel until 9:00 this morning. do stay with us. see you soon.

welcome back. let's return now to our main story, which is the escalating violence in the middle east following an invasion yesterday by hamas militants into israel. gunmen from gaza moved through communities in southern israel, taking a reported 100 hostages and killing civilians, apparently at random. more than 300 israelis are said to have died. israel responded with a series of air strikes on gaza, which included the complete destruction of an 11—storey tower block which houses hamas radio stations.

at least 256 people, including 20 children, have died in gaza. israeli troops are still fighting militants in eight areas of southern israel. they say they have regained control of 22 areas, including this police station, which had been taken by the hamas fighters using a bulldozer. there are signs of the violence spreading elsewhere, to a limited extent, with a volley of artillery from lebanon. israeli troops returned fire. this is the thing this morning in ashkelon. —— the scene. it's worth saying at this point in the morning the israeli army are now asking residents of several areas to flee their homes in gaza in preparation for strikes against hamas but as we have been discussing this morning, it seems there may be few options, few opportunities for people to leave the warning this morning from

the israeli army, asking residents in parts of the gaza strip to flee their homes. we'rejoined now by sir richard dalton, who was the former consul—general injerusalem during the 1990s. good morning to you. thank you for talking to us. for many people watching the television, the pictures coming out of israel and gaza yesterday, this will have come as a complete surprise, unprecedented. with you, your long history and knowledge of the region, what do you make of what is happening there?— what do you make of what is happening there? this attack was unprecedented _ happening there? this attack was unprecedented but _ happening there? this attack was unprecedented but any _ happening there? this attack was unprecedented but any serious i unprecedented but any serious commentator looking at the situation since picking —— peacemaking collapsed in 2014 has been predicting an explosion. you cannot oppress a people to the extent to which the palestinian people are repressed and pressed without there being a reaction and a military action that, at some point, so if this was not predicted but an

explosion that involves the occupied territories and possibly the occupied territories as a whole in the next few days was indeed predicted. the next few days was indeed predicted-— the next few days was indeed redicted. : ., :, , :, ., ,, the next few days was indeed redicted. : ., :, .«r :, predicted. and what do you make to the level of — predicted. and what do you make to the level of violence _ predicted. and what do you make to the level of violence and _ predicted. and what do you make to the level of violence and the - the level of violence and the thousands of rockets being fired from gaza yesterday and the fact that the israeli defense forces, the intelligence services appeared to have not had seen it coming? yes. have not had seen it coming? yes, that's a major— have not had seen it coming? yes, that's a major intelligence - have not had seen it coming? 19: that's a major intelligence failure. i think there is no point in commenting further on that. clearly, the situation for israelis is tragic and miserable and ifeel sorry the situation for israelis is tragic and miserable and i feel sorry for all those killed, whether in israel or rather larger numbers so far in the palestinian territories. this fighting must stop. the people who are talking sense at the moment are not our leaders in this country or the europeans or the united states, it's the arab leaders like those in

jordan and saudi arabia and in egypt. jordan and saudi arabia and in egypt, who are calling for restraint. including the president of palestine in ramallah, calling for a political horizon for the realisation of the rights of palestinians, rights which we acknowledge but which we have consistently done nothing to promote. it's important when the dust clears to change the paradigms, not to forget about the unresolved political conflict. progress has been made at times in the past and it's imperative to renew it and not to let the savagery of this conflict on both sides plunge people further into the sterile and dangerous vortex in which they've been for so many decades. the

vortex in which they've been for so many decades-— vortex in which they've been for so many decades. the prime minister of israel has talked _ many decades. the prime minister of israel has talked about _ many decades. the prime minister of israel has talked about their - many decades. the prime minister of israel has talked about their now - israel has talked about their now being a long and difficult war. how do you think the israeli forces, bearing in mind the images of violence yesterday, how should they react? ~ �* . violence yesterday, how should they react? ~ �*, . ., , violence yesterday, how should they react? ~ �*, : ., , ., :, react? well, it's clear they are not auoin to react? well, it's clear they are not going to show _ react? well, it's clear they are not going to show any _ react? well, it's clear they are not going to show any mercy - react? well, it's clear they are not going to show any mercy and - react? well, it's clear they are not going to show any mercy and the i going to show any mercy and the people who will suffer will be the palestinian civilians in gaza. they didn't have a say in the promotion of this war by hamas. some may think it was a good idea to try to break the stalemate. after all, what other options have they to end the appalling situation in which they have been placed by the international community and by israel over so many decades? but in my view, the approach to freeing israeli hostages should be one of combining military force with the

diplomacy that, ultimately, it frees people. as we know from historical experience. gaza's siege which has lasted since 2006 by israel is now going to be intensified. this is going to be intensified. this is going to be intensified. this is going to put pressure on ordinary palestinians and in turn on the us government and negotiations in those circumstances will become possible —— hamas government. i wonder where you think this goes from here. we are talking this morning about hearing rockets possibly from lebanon. what is the potential for escalation? the lebanon. what is the potential for escalation?— escalation? the potential is very areat. escalation? the potential is very great- not _ escalation? the potential is very great- not only _ escalation? the potential is very great. not only in _ escalation? the potential is very great. not only in jerusalem - escalation? the potential is veryi great. not only in jerusalem and escalation? the potential is very - great. not only in jerusalem and the great. not only injerusalem and the west bank but also, as you say, on the lebanon border. so far, has attacked three military positions in the disputed area, the schabau advance, but it's open to them to

take a decision to attack israel using the vast arsenal of missiles which they have developed including very accurate weapons —— hezbollah attacked. that would plunge israel into an existential crisis. let us hope that the diplomatic context that have already started can provide a horizon to a political solution which convinces the people with guns on both sides of the israeli border not to plunge the region into armageddon. so richard dalton, we appreciate you joining us and sharing your thoughts. thank you. of course we will keep you across the story throughout the morning and will be back live with our correspondence in gaza and jerusalem later this morning. there's been some extensive flooding in parts of scotland yesterday and overnight and matt has those details. it's a mixed picture, depending where you are in the

country? hard to believe that some parts are in sunshine and 25 degrees whereas in sunshine and 25 degrees whereas in scotland this became a typical theme with flooded roads and we saw almost all of the scottish rail network disturbed in some shape. more disruption to come today but we're not quite done the rain yet. on the radar, you can see where it's been falling, the dark blues have been falling, the dark blues have been dropping about one inch of rain in the space of an hour through the north —— north of loch lomond. it's pushing eastwards and we have an amber warning pushing eastwards and we have an amberwarning in pushing eastwards and we have an amber warning in place for impacts inspected through the rest of today right through to early afternoon and especially cross the grampians towards murray, inverness and aviemore and in aviemore there's many roads that are impossible with a severe flood warning indicating there is a risk to life and property so with more rain still in the forecast today we're into him having to watch things very closely so it's linked to this weather front which is stranded across scotland at the moment and to the south of it,

dragging in the air from moment and to the south of it, dragging in the airfrom the near continent. it has been warm and sunny and we start in that vein again this morning with this being a short while ago in devon. we have the sunny skies developing overhead and demirtas will climb. central and southern england and wales with some mist and fog patches. grey and murky for some other areas. for scotland, the far southwest a largely dry, if few spots of rain, the heaviest likely to be this morning elsewhere before becoming patchy up later in the afternoon. yesterday we saw six degrees in some parts of the highlands, up a bit today but nowhere near the levels we see across england and wales, widely the low to mid 20s. overnight, some rain at times across scotland, heavier burst returning to the central belt and the south but not quite the extent we saw through recent days. either side, extent we saw through recent days. eitherside, mist extent we saw through recent days. either side, mist and low cloud, dry weather and pretty mild. temperatures for some in northern england 16 or 17. a warm start of

the new working week. some rain coming and going across parts of southern scotland, northern england and the north of northern ireland. to the north of it, brighter conditions. a good deal of dry weather compared with what we've seen this weekend. to the south, croswell, central southern england, sunny spells and still temperatures into the mid—20s. further into the week, tuesday brings heavy rains weeping and across scotland for a time with some of it in the form of thundery showers affecting northern ireland and later all the parts of england. india on tuesday. south and east, we stick with a dry and warm story with some mist and sea fog drifting in of the english channel every now and then but of course any rain you see across scotland is unwelcome with more to come through the middle part of the week as the area of low pressure scripts by the north, bringing strong winds through midweek but also throwing this weather from southwards which will eventually bring heavier ranges southern counties of and wales and eventually take away the sunshine and warmth in the start of the week.

that's how was looking. in summary, brollies in the north, barbecues in the south, i think?— the south, i think? almost this weekend and _ the south, i think? almost this weekend and to _ the south, i think? almost this weekend and to start - the south, i think? almost this weekend and to start next - the south, i think? almost this l weekend and to start next week, the south, i think? almost this - weekend and to start next week, yes. lovely, thank you. make the most of that. we'll have the latest headlines at 8:00. now, it's time for some technology news with this week's edition of click. over half of the uk's transport emissions come from cars, so to help reach climate targets, the government had banned the sale of new petrol and diesel cars from 2030 — although that has now been pushed back to 2035.

even with a few extra years added, this is still a huge change for car owners and makers. some manufacturers embraced electric early but bentley was not one of them, so how are things going now at its hq? luxury leather interiors and all the wooden dashboard and trim taken from the exact same tree to make sure it matches. it takes around 130 hours to craft one of these cars. although bentleys are generally bought for their owners to drive themselves around, for anyone who's got a chauffeur, this one also has screens in the back. when you think bentley, well, you are probably more likely to think about this kind of finery than you are where the nearest electric charger is — well, that and the price tag.

bentleys start at 169,000 for the most basic. so, is it worth it? there's nothing that gives you 207 miles an hour and that kind of arrival presence. when you pull up in front of the best hotel, you get the best parking place. no posh hotel — i'm at the bentley factory to meet my tour guide for the day. hello! lovely to meet you. on our right—hand side, you have got the suv line, so this consists of 44 process stations along the way. it's weird being underneath a car. i'm not a mechanic, i'm not used to seeing it like this. it's only 2.5 tons. this production alone produces 114 cars a week after each vehicle spends 13 minutes in each bay undergoing 70 different production processes. there are 64 basic colours to choose from, and if any reason you don't like any of them, well, you can have one

custom—made — and rumour has it a lady once came in asking for her car to be made the same colour as her nail varnish. and now for the whole section dedicated to the leather interior. all the colours, but also the smell, it really smells of leather in here. it's beautiful, isn't it? is there some sort of sustainable element here? all of the hides are byproducts of the meat industry. this is where we bring the hide in over here. we lay it down on this bed. we have got a camera system that scans it. we then automatically map out the most effective way for the panels to cut them all out perfectly. and there's the sewing room — rows of giant sewing machines creating more options than most of us could probably even think up. mesmerising to watch. you can even have your name embroidered on the seat if you want to. we talk so much on this programme about automation,

but what has really struck me here today is how many of the processes are still handcrafted. except there's one key part of the car that is about to leap into the 21st century. bentley is planning to replace its famed 12—cylinder engine with an electric motor across its range by 2030. it's investing £2.5 billion to achieve it, but is it ready? extremely ready. 100% by 2030, battery electric vehicle, and fully carbon neutral. i did not get to see bentley's new electric car, not even a prototype. everything about the car is really hush—hush, including the price. what price will it start at, the full electric version? we are not giving the prices yet, but there will be a whole range of cars, five models, if you take our current position.

we top out about 300 for the base cars, it will probably be similar to that, plus maybe 5—10%. aren't the majority of your customers overseas, where they don't have the same rules coming for electric vehicles? yes, 80% of our revenue comes from overseas. most of the cities where we operate, including in europe, have restrictions if not banned. so even though every country has not banned them, many cities are restricting use. because our cars are used every day, customers know that it's advantageous to drive an electric car. and what does the boss of a major car manufacturer make of the uk government's surprise announcement it's to delay the ban on electric vehicles by five more years? we are still reflecting on it. if we had known that it was 2035, maybe we would have changed some of the products between now and then, cos it is 12 years before they are banned instead of six years before they are banned.

and you will still be producing cars for other countries that are petrol? no, so the plan is... absolutely. by 2030, we are fully and only electric. notjust that, bentley has asked all its suppliers to use only renewable energy by 2030. it also plans to switch to green steel and aluminium and fully recyclable plastics. a reminder that electric cars being clean is not just about their emissions, but also, the manufacturing processes. it's notjust the cars that we drive that are going green — even motorsport is trying to do its bit. formula e is the electric equivalent of formula 1 and alasdair keane has been to le mans in france to meet the nissan team to see how they're notjust pushing batteries to their limit, but they're also tracking their brains to try

and improve performance. this is sport pushing innovation in electric vehicles to the limit. the best championship in the world, i would call it, and the racing makes it extremely exciting cos you have a lot of energy management cos, of course, you start the race with the battery you have. you just don't make it to the end — you need to recharge over 40% of your battery to reach the end of the race. that makes the racing extremely exciting cos, you know, you have to manage your energy, at the same time try to keep position orfight for position. so, honestly, the championship and the level of drivers is extremely high and the room of mistakes, it's extremely slim. but with 17 races in cities all over the world, racing fast takes its toll on the drivers. thejet lag is difficult cos you go from mexico to saudi arabia to india and then cape town. you're constantly travelling. now, we go to tokyo. it's a lot ofjet lag also. you are very tired after the races, that's for sure. with overcoming sleep deprivation

and improving reaction times in mind, nissan have embarked on a two—year research project delving deep into their drivers' brains. we isolated two main areas. one is clarity, so how much the brain is about to give focus under these stressing events and distractions, and the other one is speed, the decision—making process. clarity relates to how well the drivers perform under pressure and speed is how fast they can process information and, ultimately, make split—second decisions. so, you can actually map, in a way, how your brain is strong or weak in these two areas and you can have a protocol that can improve the brain on these two specific skills. the first step of this programme has been regularly scanning drivers' and other participants' brains to build a map of how different people work in clarity and speed.

calming electronic music plays 0k. so what, if anything, has this told you about my brain? we've seen something just above average — just above average. i've got a very average brain! chuckles in terms of speed. and a driver would have a faster brain? as it were. it depends on the person. there are drivers who have a lot faster — a lot faster brains. but we also see drivers who have just above average. but a very clear — a very clear brain overall. once the scanning has built up a map of an individual, a bespoke training programme is created. that involves a second bit of tech and aims to increase the brain's ability to develop new skills. basically, you put the brain in a very trainable state. we do brain stimulation, so we are passing some very weak current through

the surface of the brain. sometimes we use magnetic stimulation. this is a really easy equipment to use. i use it basically two, three times per week and it'sjust 30 minutes of doing nothing and relaxing and the machine is basically doing the job on its own. before training, you use a device like that, and after training, you would use it again and you will see highly accelerated rate of skill acquisition, the specific skill you want to improve on. what do you think is the benefits of doing this kind of training? i've seen the ability to switch on and off my mind quicker and i've noticed quite a clear improvement on my sleep, which is also quite a good thing for athletes. but there is a balance to be struck here between the tech you can put in place around sports stars and just letting them perform. when you first heard about

this brain performance programme, what was your reaction? at the beginning, when they talked about it, i was like, "hmm, not a fan of those kind of things" because i like to be myself and just get on with it. but slowly, you know, i pushed myself, of course, to try it out and i did feel some little differences, especially on the sleeping side of things. with season ten around the corner, the team are now committed to embedding this into their training programme. it will still only count for a fraction of driver development, but in a sport where teams are striving to push innovation, every little bit could help. that's it from bentley. thanks for watching. we'll be back next week. bye.

good morning, welcome to breakfast with ben thompson and sarah campbell. our headlines today: israel retaliates — gaza is hit by airstrikes overnight as the conflict escalates, with the israeli prime minister

saying the country has entered a "long and difficult war". more than 500 people from both sides are dead and the israeli military says dozens of civilians and soldiers are being held hostage by palestinian militant group hamas. also today... heavy rainfall and flooding is causing major disruption in the highlands and north—eastern scotland. we'll find out how xl bully dog owners are training their pets ahead of new rules following a ban on the breed. in sport... ireland blow scotland away at the rugby world cup. the world number one side now face new zealand in the quarter—finals as the scots head home. and flooding causing issues across scotland, more heavy rain to come, the met office amber warning in place for some. details on that but also the continuing warmth and sunshine across the south. it's sunday the 8th of october. our main story. palestinian gunmen remain at large in israel this morning following yesterday's invasion,

earlier, warplanes hit several buildings in the center of the city. the israeli defence forces released these pictures, which they say are hamas cells being targeted. the israeli military trying to show they are on the front foot after being taken by surprise by hamas's attacks. the israeli prime minister issued this warning in a televised address. translation: all of the places hamas is active in in — translation: all of the places hamas is active in in the _ translation: all of the places hamas is active in in the city _ translation: all of the places hamas is active in in the city of— translation: all of the places hamas is active in in the city of evil, _ is active in in the city of evil, all the places i must is hiding and cooperating from, will turn them into ruins. i'm telling the people of gaza, get out there now because we are about to hit everywhere with all our force. this is how the attack by hamas began yesterday morning. armed men cutting through israel's perimeter fence accompanied by a wave of rocket attacks.

hamas released this footage showing an israeli tank being targeted. it was a highly planned operation, catching israel off guard. israelis who had been at a rave in the fields near gaza were forced to flee for their lives. translation: they were going three b three and translation: they were going three by three and shooting _ translation: they were going three by three and shooting everywhere - by three and shooting everywhere from two sides and so many people were dying all around. israelis were seen being taken into gaza as hostages. more than 50 soldiers and civilians are believed to have been taken captive, though some have been rescued or released overnight. n more —— more than 100. the leader of hamas, which governs gaza, has promised to end israel's occupation of palestinian lands. translation: we are on the verge of a treat translation: we are on the verge of a great victory — translation: we are on the verge of a great victory and _ translation: we are on the verge of a great victory and a _ translation: we are on the verge of a great victory and a clear— translation: we are on the verge of

were fired from the north. and the hamas attacks have continued. this was tel aviv last night. the escalating violence will be discussed today at an emergency meeting of the un security council. hamas shows no sign of pulling back. the israeli prime minister is warning of a long and difficult war. diplomatic efforts to stabilise what is the largest escalation in this conflict for decades won't be easy. simon jones, bbc news. the bbc�*s middle east bureau chief jo floto is injerusalem. good morning to you. the fighting very much continuing. latest news suggesting there are still eight points of engagement with hamas militants, what can you tell is about that?— militants, what can you tell is about that? :, , ., about that? the military are telling us that they _ about that? the military are telling us that they are _ about that? the military are telling us that they are sweeping - about that? the military are telling us that they are sweeping through | us that they are sweeping through these eight towns and hamlets near these eight towns and hamlets near the gaza border to check there are no militants hiding out. they spent most of the last day clearing out 22

different locations where militants had streamed through the border from gaza into israel. they caused huge amounts of devastation. as you have heard, the death toll is getting higher and higher, and heard, the death toll is getting higherand higher, and israeli media reporting 300 dead at least, we think that might go up. so a sweeping operation happening in most towns and villages, and the israeli military say they are now evacuating any remaining israeli civilians. thousands of people are being taken out by bus from that area which gives you an indication of what they think might be happening in the next few days and weeks. bud think might be happening in the next few days and weeks.— few days and weeks. and the situation in _ few days and weeks. and the situation in gaza, _ few days and weeks. and the situation in gaza, people - few days and weeks. and the i situation in gaza, people being few days and weeks. and the - situation in gaza, people being told to leave areas in gaza, where do they go? as we know, very difficult to get in and out of gaza.— to get in and out of gaza. that's riaht, to get in and out of gaza. that's right. gaza _ to get in and out of gaza. that's right. gaza is — to get in and out of gaza. that's right, gaza is plenty _ to get in and out of gaza. that's right, gaza is plenty well - to get in and out of gaza. that'sl right, gaza is plenty well blocked up. obviously the israeli crossings have been shut down, there is one crossing out to egypt which is

tightly controlled, what people are doing in gaza is moving into un run schools. the un runs a massive aid and education programme in gaza and people are sheltering in schools that belong to the united nations, but there is not very many places you can go. at the israeli military are saying they will direct the civilian population away from areas where they are taking action, and the focus will be twofold. one, to destroy what they see as hamas's capability to do this again and the other is to try and recapture what we think are dozens of hostages, military prisoners but also men, women and children that we have seen on social media being paraded inside the gaza strip, which hamas say they are going to use as bargaining chips in order to get their own prisoners released from israeli jails. liee released from israeli 'ails. live now to sen * released from israeli 'ails. live now to ben for _ released from israeli 'ails. live now to ben for the _ released from israeli jails. live now to ben for the rest - released from israeli jails. live now to ben for the rest of this

mooring's news. and news of the story flooding in scotland? and amber weather warning meaning there is danger to life remains a place across parts of until two o'clock today for him —— man and a month's worth of rain fell in just 24 as yesterday. the torrential rain caused landslides across —— man caused landslides across —— man caused a severe travel disruption. alexandrite is outside glasgow central station. do we expect things to ease off today?— central station. do we expect things to ease off today? good morning. we have actually — to ease off today? good morning. we have actually come _ to ease off today? good morning. we have actually come into _ to ease off today? good morning. we have actually come into the _ to ease off today? good morning. we have actually come into the station i have actually come into the station for you this morning. as it was pretty miserable, but in glasgow the worst of the weather has moved on, but that's not the case in other parts here at glasgow central this morning, it has been fairly quiet but a sunday morning that was a different story. you can see the

board behind me, some of the trains are still cancelled, there has been quite a lot of flooding on the train tracks throughout and it will take some time for some of that to go away. the train to manchester airport in our�*s time has been cancelled. so people trying to get a flight from there this morning will have to make alternative arrangements. people being advised to check before they travel. across other parts of the country, amber warnings are still in place until 2pm today. that is an aberdeenshire, in angus right across 21 and inverness. amber still indicates heavy rain and possible disruption and also a possible risk to life so there is also a yellow warning across parts of the country including the western isles. we do have a lot of flood warnings in

place, 57 across much of the country, and one severe flood warning in aviemore this morning. alexandra, thank you very much. labour is pledging to cut nhs waiting lists in england by funding two million more hospital appointments a year, paid for by ending the non—dom tax status. the announcement comes as the party conference gets under way in liverpool. our chief political correspondent henry zeffman is there. henry, talk us through the details of this policy and the timing of it. we are starting to get a sense of what a potential labour government could look like?— could look like? that's why this -a could look like? that's why this party conference _ could look like? that's why this party conference is _ could look like? that's why this party conference is crucial- could look like? that's why this party conference is crucial for i could look like? that's why this i party conference is crucial for keir starmer because he might have one last opportunity with his party activists, given the general election coming next year, to set out what his programme for government would be. that policy you mentioned is clearly going to be a significant part of that. nhs waiting lists are a big part of the political debate now and there are

certain to be in the general election as well. the policy is that a labour government would use the money raised by abolishing non—dom tax status, which is the tax status which means some people don't have to pay tax here on money they make abroad, use the proceeds of that to pay nhs workers overtime in a bid to get the lists down. you might think some of that sounds familiar, and the non—dom tax bit is familiar, labour promised a few years ago to abolish that status, although this is a new application of the money they say they would raise from that. i think that gets to one of the tensions at the heart of this conference. some people in the party are urging keir starmer to be much bolder and and it's notjust the new policies but new tax measures, for example to pay for policies. keir starmer is very much not going to, he doesn't want to gives the conservatives ammunition as he would see it. so as well as those incremental policies i think we

should expect the conference to focus on finding more general ways to give the public a sense of what they would get if keir starmer became prime minister next year. henry, a busy day ahead, we will let you go, for now, thank you. nearly 500 people have died and at least 1,000 more have been injured after a powerful earthquake hit western afghanistan. the 6.3 magnitude quake struck at around 11am local time yesterday, in herat province. the death toll is expected to rise as rescuers continue to search the rubble, and survivors try to cope without food and shelter. more than 100,000 people onjersey have been left without gas for a second day — after the island's supply was shut down by loss of power at a main plant near the capital. the firm responsible, island energy, has apologised and warned there'll be no gas until tomorrow at the earliest. hundreds of kilos of cocaine have been found washed up on the south coast of england and on the isle of wight.

the drugs are believed to be from south america, and police say that anyone who finds similar packages should contact them. strictly�*s amy dowden made her first appearance on the bbc show last night since she started receiving treatment for breast cancer. the 33—year—old dancer, who has had a mastectomy and is undergoing chemotherapy, made a surprise visit to read out the voting terms and conditions. more importantly, she also let us know how she's getting on. amy! we have missed you! missed you all! they love you! we all love you! chanting: amy, amy, amy! thank you, guys. i have to ask how you are. i'm doing really well. i'm over halfway through the treatment, through chemo and i can't wait to be back with you all permanently. we cannot wait. ladies and gentlemen, amy dowden! cheering great to see her looking so well.

here's matt with a look at the weather. it's a real tale of two systems whether you're living in the north the south of uk? completely different this weekend. southern areas pretty warm for october, whereas in scotland we saw the rainfall, just take a look at some of the totals we've seen since friday evening. well over 150 millimetres in the south of oban and rainfall totals totting up now in some parts of central and northern scotland is the rainfall continues. not quite done with the impacts yet either. just ring the rainfall truck from the past few hours, this massive darker blue indicates heavy rain particularly in central scotland. lots of surface water and flooding but there are some breaks in the rain on the way. this is where the amber warnings are in place. all the way from perth and kinross by the way through to the

moray coast and its round aviemore where we have a severe flood warning, risk to life and property. even once the rain stops, a lot of it still has to come down the river system and we will see ongoing flooding for the rest of today come into tonight and possibly next week. so expect further disruption. but the rainfall will ease off in intensity, the wettest conditions this morning, further rain at times, shetland and staying dry with sunshine after a frosty start. some rain in southern scotland but over a dry day compared to yesterday. northern ireland and northern england, isolated showers but lots of agnes breaking through. cloudier westwell is lit up at central and southern england towards the channel islands, a day of hazy centring, even feeling warmer than yesterday, temperature is widely mid 20s, lower 20s. tonight, staying warm across the country. the good news is, most of the rain will ease off a time in scotland, some heavier bursts return later on across central belt and the

south, some of that could affect northern england. top and tail of the country, clearer skies, northern england. top and tail of the country, clearerskies, mist northern england. top and tail of the country, clearer skies, mist and fog patches, lots of low cloud around the irish sea coasts and hills as we head into the start of the new working week. there will be quite a bit of mist around on monday morning especially in the west and horrendous weather front. bursts of rain on that every now and again, but overall a dry day compared with the weekend. some sunshine to the north of scotland, more sunshine and warmth to the south. temperatures around 20 to 24. and then as we go through the rest of the week, it's going to be a case of watch the river levels. there will be france close to scotland on tuesday bringing outbreaks of rain, some heavy infantry. summit in northern ireland and northern england. further south, sticking with a dry story, mists around the coast, still warm for the time of year but while the warm lasts into the start of wednesday, temperatures will drop as wet and windy weather sweeps south

from this area of low pressure. that is how it is looking. let's return to our main story now and the escalating conflict between israel and gaza, which has left more than 250 dead on each side. it began when the palestinian militant group hamas — which is designated a terrorist group by many western governments — launched a wave of rocket attacks yesterday morning, followed by an invasion of maurauding gunmen. some of them are still in southern israel. the prime minister rishi sunak said the uk stood unequivocally with israel — and described the attack as cowardly and depraved. he added that he had expressed the uk's full solidarity to his israeli counterpart, benjamin netanyahu, and would work with international partners to co—ordinate support. we're joined now by the conservative mp alicia kearns, who is also chair of the foreign affairs committee.

thank you for being with us this morning. this is moving very morning. this is moving quickly, we know the israeli military saying there are still eight points of engagement. what is the current state of play as your hearing it?— hearing it? the israeli defence forces have — hearing it? the israeli defence forces have now _ hearing it? the israeli defence forces have now mobilised, i hearing it? the israeli defence forces have now mobilised, asi hearing it? the israeli defence i forces have now mobilised, as we know, this terrorist attack took place on a holiday so much of the idf were home with their families, there has also been a movement for 38 weeks for a great number of israeli reservists who have been refusing to step up and serve over thejudicial refusing to step up and serve over the judicial reform protests. refusing to step up and serve over thejudicial reform protests. now refusing to step up and serve over the judicial reform protests. now we see there are eight points where fighting continues and have a say now israel will hunt down these hamas a terrorist is —— terrorists within gaza. hamas a terrorist is -- terrorists within gaza-— within gaza. many people will be wakin: u- within gaza. many people will be waking pp and — within gaza. many people will be waking up and saying _ within gaza. many people will be waking up and saying this - within gaza. many people will be| waking up and saying this sounds horribly familiar, this is not a new conflict by any means. how are we in

this position? just explain some of the context that has got us here. i know it is complicated and it goes back many decades but it's been a little about where we are, why we are where we are today.— little about where we are, why we are where we are today. many of us have been worrying _ are where we are today. many of us have been worrying well— are where we are today. many of us have been worrying well over i are where we are today. many of us have been worrying well over a i have been worrying well over a year now that we were looking at something along these lines, but of course, no matter how much you fear the worst, when you see those videos and those images, the atrocities are so much worse than you could ever have envisioned. hamas are a terrorist organisation, they are based within gaza. gaza is run by essentially hamas a terrorist group but it is also blockaded by the israelis, so there are legitimate calls for palestinians who want freedom and statehood and who want what they called the return of the holy sites, but hamas is a terrorist organisation and what they have done is not in the interests of the palestinian people, it is solely in the interests of those who control them, and that is the iranian state.

iran is an international sponsor of terrorism and that is the only logical conclusion i can come to as to what has happened. so the last few years has been seen as a positive drumbeat on arab states coming to normalisation agreements with israel, essentially putting to one side history and agreeing normalisation of relations is the best thing for the region. currently, there was a process where saudi arabia and israel were coming together and looking at normalisation. that does not suit iran, which is a terrorist state within the region, it sponsors terrorism in syria, lebanon and iraq and even on european shores including the uk so the only conclusion i can come to is that israel has taken the decision that they were not willing to allow the normalisation to happen because it would have been significant in the region, saudi arabia and israel together would have turned their eyes to iran and as a result they have tasked hamas, potentially not through the normal commanding lines because otherwise this is an enormous intelligence failure but we

have to wait and see, to attack. the reason for attacking, hamas claims, is the freedom of the palestinian people and the freedom of the holy sites, but this does not help the palestinian people. we have also seen hammer saying they have taken hostages explicitly to try and free what they see as palestinian freedom fighters who are being held by israel. figs fighters who are being held by israel. : . . fighters who are being held by israel. : , , :, , israel. as is often the case in conflicts _ israel. as is often the case in conflicts like _ israel. as is often the case in conflicts like this, _ israel. as is often the case in conflicts like this, it - israel. as is often the case in conflicts like this, it is i israel. as is often the case in i conflicts like this, it is residents who will pay the price, civilians. already in israel, 250 people have been killed. israeli air strikes killing 250 civilians in the gaza strip. we know this morning israeli forces have requested, asked, demanded that residents in gaza leave. there are very few options and possibilities for them to leave. what assistance can the uk provide to make sure that it is not a humanitarian crisis once again? so

it is humanitarian crisis once again? sr it is incredibly difficult humanitarian crisis once again? st it is incredibly difficult because carter is in effect blockaded, there are two exits, one into israel, into egypt. like any border crossing, you have to have paperwork and permission to cross, it is a mass open borderfor refugees permission to cross, it is a mass open border for refugees to flee which is why we have seen people hiding in schools. so it's important that we as a friend to israel, who know that they are hurting, you know they have seen their neighbours raped and tortured, who know they have seen mass atrocities which they never thought possible, we need to advise them to target military sites only within gaza are not those civilian sites. are we also need to re—engage. it's good that the un security council is meeting today but the uk will announce a special envoy for the middle east peace process, between israel and palestine, we need to proscribe the islamic revolutionary guards corps, which is the iranian national terror tool, we need to crack down on them on uk soil. today we saw too many

jewish people on uk soil asking why this so many people celebrating the torture and attack on israeli people and we need to make sure that human costis and we need to make sure that human cost is minimised as much as possible for israeli allies but also for those civilians who are stuck in trapped within gaza. tbs, for those civilians who are stuck in trapped within gaza.— for those civilians who are stuck in trapped within gaza. a word we keep heanna trapped within gaza. a word we keep hearing over — trapped within gaza. a word we keep hearing over the _ trapped within gaza. a word we keep hearing over the last _ trapped within gaza. a word we keep hearing over the last 24 _ trapped within gaza. a word we keep hearing over the last 24 hours i trapped within gaza. a word we keep hearing over the last 24 hours is i hearing over the last 24 hours is unprecedented. the scale and ferocity of these attacks on both sides. you say a lot of talking and negotiation will be going on behind the scenes now to try and de—escalate this crisis. but it certainly seems looking at some of the images that there is a lot of work to do given where we are right now. what hopes are there that both sides can come to the table here? i sides can come to the table here? i have to be honest, hope is low. at the start of this year i was saying that we are the furthest we have ever been for a two state solution. it has felt the furthest from achieving peace, because not only did we have a rising terrorist threat, and there are many countries who have been running this might

happen, particularly countries like jordan, but you also have a far right government in place in israel who have been making statements such as, there is no such thing as palestine, no such thing as the palestinian people, so on both sides we have had the least willingness to engage for a very long time. at the israeli people, but they have come true, they last saw something like this in 1973 so this is a really difficult day that will not be forgotten by the israeli people and they need time to heal and they need our support to rid themselves of this terrorist threat.— this terrorist threat. alicia kearns. — this terrorist threat. alicia kearns, good _ this terrorist threat. alicia kearns, good to _ this terrorist threat. alicia kearns, good to talk i this terrorist threat. alicia kearns, good to talk to i this terrorist threat. alicia i kearns, good to talk to you this morning. of course, continued coverage of events there on the bbc news channel throughout the day. we are here with you on bbc two until nine o'clock, then the bbc news channel will take you through the rest of the day. it is 8:25. it's been a good week for labour — after that emphatic win in the rutherglen and hamilton west

by—election in scotland, taking back a former snp stronghold. that is likely to lift the mood of delegates at the party conference which begins in liverpool today, although keir starmer is one of them not to get giddy prematurely! let's speak to political journalists sonia sodha, from the observer, andjim pickard from the financial times about what we can expect over the coming days. sonia sodha, it has been a good week, winning a by—election like that scotland would be a good way to start. : , ,:, , , start. absolutely, hugely significant _ start. absolutely, hugely significant by-election i start. absolutely, hugely i significant by-election result. start. absolutely, hugely - significant by-election result. the significant by—election result. the swing to labour was more than 20 percentage points which is double what some people were predicting. and it bodes very well for labour in scotland. winning back a significant seat —— number of seats in scotland would be key to labour winning a general election majority, and this sort of result, there is a poll in

and getting to the last eight. they have beaten the world best, the world number one, you fancy them to go and then, they have never gone past the quarter—finals but they are at the stage now. ireland will face new zealand in the world cup quarter—finals after a comfortable 36—1a win over scotland. the world's number one side were ruthless from the start in paris and scored six tries — including this from garry ringrose. scotland did fight back in the second half — but it was too little too late as they crashed out of the tournament. ireland have now won 17 consecutive games and will be one of the favourites to lift the trophy — despite never having made it past the quarter finals. england — having already qualified for the last eight laboured to a close 18—17 win over samoa in theirfinal pool game. they made a good start with owen farrell converting ollie chessum's try — that means he's now surpassed jonny wilkinson as england's leading test points scorer. samoa were the better side for much of the match though until danny care's late converted try got england over the line. louis rees—zammit scored a hat—trick as wales beat georgia a3—19. that leaves them top of pool c

and sets up a likely quarter—final meeting with argentina orjapan who play later. the win came at a cost though — taulupe faletau suffered a broken arm which rules him out of the rest of the tournament. max verstappen will start this evening's qatar grand prix as a three time formula one world champion. he achieved the feat with six races to go after his closest rival and red bull team mate sergio perez crashed in yesterday's sprint race. verstappen went on to finish second to mclaren's oscar piastri. the dutchman is now aiming to beat his own record of 15 wins in a season, which would mean winning half of the remaining races. wigan warriors will play catalans dragons in the super league grand final. wigan thrashed hull kr by a2 points to 12. liam marshall scored a hat—trick for the cherry and whites as wigan secured their 12th appearance in the end of season showpiece. catalans beat st helens on friday. that is all the support from us for now. ~ , . ~ that is all the support from us for now. ~ , .

feel was wonderful. there we go. clever girlie! all these dogs are to be placed on the list of banned breeds. it means they'll need to adhere to new rules in order for their owners to keep them. he tells me — he kind of goes, "right, you need to sit down" or "you need to do this" or "you need to eat" because of my low blood sugar. what it's going to be like for him when you have to put the muzzle on him? i don't completely agree but i understand. i think there should be more intense training put in place, notjust for this breed of dog but for all breeds of dogs, because there are cases of all dogs having it. it's just the bite force of this is a lot bigger. the worst thing is that i'm worried that mars might not be able to do hisjob. in milton keynes, this dog trainer has started offering free muzzle training to help owners prepare. they've already got a big dog. they're already scared that people are going to think they're aggressive and now, if they they're having to muzzle their dog, they're worried about that even further, so ending the stigmatism behind muzzles and all of the responsible owners will come forward and we'll be able to help

so many more people. from the end of the year, owners of xl bullies will have to register them, neuter them and muzzle them when in public. but the rspca and the kennel club says the problem of dog attacks is down to irresponsible ownership and breeding and that a breed—specific ban won't solve that. it's not the dog always, it's the way they're brought up. she's not perfect but, you know, and — you've to take responsibility of something that is that big and can be aggressive. i've never seen it from annie but it happens and so, yeah, something had to be done — people were killed. an nhs surgeon told the bbc that the injuries he sees caused by xl bullies are worse than from other breeds because of their powerfuljaws. what would you say to those people who say if you're a responsible citizen, why would you own one of these? it's my choice. no—one else's choice to own a dog. it's their choice not to have a dog.

my choice to have a dog. my choice to make sure my dog's trained, and that's why we're here. and you're gonna do everything...? everything possible to keep him safe. and he will remain in my care, no matter what. nicola haseler, bbc news. and we are nowjoined by the head of health at the kennel club charlotte mcnamara alongside dog breeder patsy hollings who has brought in seven week old luna the weimaraner. absolutely adorable but we have a serious subject to talk about, dog breeding and it is about how you big responsible dogs.— responsible dogs. indeed, if you have a purebred _ responsible dogs. indeed, if you have a purebred dog, _ responsible dogs. indeed, if you have a purebred dog, you - responsible dogs. indeed, if you have a purebred dog, you know| responsible dogs. indeed, if you l have a purebred dog, you know its history— have a purebred dog, you know its history and — have a purebred dog, you know its history and pedigree and you know the dog _ history and pedigree and you know the dog ascend the pedigree from a very long _ the dog ascend the pedigree from a very long time ago because we actually— very long time ago because we actually show our dogs and so we know _ actually show our dogs and so we know the — actually show our dogs and so we know the pedigree and we see them in the ring _ know the pedigree and we see them in the ring so— know the pedigree and we see them in the ring so we know the characters and how _
