with manchester united desperately needing to kickstart their campaign. they're up against copenhagen — currently goalless. bayern munich top the group — after beating galatasary 3—1 — harry kane with bayern�*s second. well before united kicked off against copenhagen, they paid tribute to their former captain sir bobby charlton, after he passed away at the weekend. as well as plenty of tributes outside the group from fans and the general public, the club held a special tribute to sir bobby — which included laying a wreath in his seat in the directors box and a minutes silence before the match kicked off. elsewhere in the champions league, it's already been a good night for inter milan — as they beat red bull salzberg 2—1 to go top of group d. but they will drop down to second if real sociedad can beat benfica — that's currently goalless.

elsewhere, arsenal are trying to get back to winning ways, they're up against sevilla — that's also goalless. all of tonight's scores can be found on the bbc sport website. in the premier league, everton have said they've lost a chairman, a leader, a friend and an inspiration — after bill kenwright passed away yesterday evening. kenwright first became involved at everton in 1989 as a board member — and became a major shareholder ten years later, before becoming the largest stakeholder in the club in 2004 when he took on the chairmanship. he was also a well known theatre producer with an acting role in coronation street which continued until 2012. england cricket's managing director rob key insists ben stokes is still committed to playing for the national team — despite turning down a long contract. england's test captain has rejected a three year central contract, opting instead for a one year extension.

key says stokes is expected to negotiate a longer deal next year when a new cycle of broadcast rights starts. 0n the field of play, quinton de kock proved his worth yet again — as south africa made it 4 wins from 5 at the cricket world cup. batting first, de kock hit 174 off 140 balls — the highest score of the tournament — as his side set bangladesh 383 to win. and despite a century from mahmudullah, bangladesh fell well short — bowled out 233, losing by 149 runs. south africa now second in the table — behind the hosts india, bangladesh drop to the bottom. world rugby has announced a new competition starting in 2026 as part of a "significant overhaul" of the men's international calendar — with its chairman saying the sport is entering an �*exciting new era'.

as rugby prepares for its world cup final between south africa and new zealand on saturday, the governing body has announced a series of changes. the include its version of the nations league concept adopted by football involving a top division of 12 teams which will attempt to synchronise matches that have been played in the northern hemishpere autumn and summer. world rugby have also decided to expand the next world cup from 20 to 2a teams. the idea of more regular competition pathways for regions and the event competition providing the right type of competition more regularly is going to allow teams to be better prepared. 2027 feels like the right time to make that move in austria will be a great host, quit schedule for teams to expand and allows us to have a more compact tournament —— australia. teams moving into 16, more knockout content which is what fans in the media would love to see and provide significant opportunities for more interest in

bigger audiences. at the moment, the bbc website is the place to be. and that's all the sport for now. in gaza, hamas officials say at least 700 people have been killed in the last 2a hours. it means, according to those officials, that the total number killed in this war is now more than 5,700 — including more than 2,000 children. it's becoming increasingly difficult to report from gaza, due to safety concerns and a lack of communications. but our correspondent fergal keane has been speaking to people there. some of the footage in his report is hard to watch, but those who are there want the world to see it. it is distressing from the very beginning. what war would take away, they race to save. the young life of yazan al—abadi.

the adult hand on the child's heart. it could not save him. this child did survive airstrikes which doctors at al—nasr hospital say killed 80 people. the little boy asks if his family is ok. of the nearly 6,000 said by gaza health authorities to have been killed so far, around 40% are reported to be children. sharif came with his wounded son. he asked if the children were the enemies. were they the ones who'd kidnapped, the ones who had killed? there are the other wounds. what war does to the spirit of a child. crying.

salma is nine. crying. israel says it's only targeting the men who brought terror to its people. over 400 airstrikes in the last day, unleashing the power of high explosive by night and by day. this was khan younis in the south of the gaza strip at 12:30 today, filmed by a bbcjournalist. the war has displaced 1.4 million people. in the tented camp at khan younis, cleanliness is part of the struggle to preserve dignity. | translation: at night, it's cold | and there aren't enough blankets. we are sleeping on dirt.

the children are all sick. where are the rights of our children? where are our human rights? the fun and the friendship of childhood. they grasp what they can, knowing how brutally it can be lost. fergal keane, bbc news, jerusalem. well, the worsening humanitarian situation in gaza is evident — and despite it, rushdi abu alouf — the bbc�*s gaza correspondent — remains there, one of the few journalists still working in the territory. he's in khan younis and some of his report — about a pregnant woman who's been critically wounded — has distressing images. behind this door, doctors are fighting to save the life of a woman. she was badly injured this morning while she was pregnant in an air strike in a neighbourhood in khan

younis. doctors rescued the baby by caesarean, a quick caesarean operation. her husband was was killed alongside members of the same family. but the mother is inside fighting for her life and for her baby. the hospitals here are struggling to cope with the number of people injured. i have seen people treated in the corridor of the hospital. people are treated in the courtyard of the hospital, because today was one of the deadliest attacks done by israel so far. this hospital is among the four hospitals in the south. it's the area where israel asked 1.2 million people in the north to flee. but this is the biggest one. and it's been struggling

without fuel to run the main generator in the hospital. and also, they said they have to cancel all nonessential operations and they are only treating people with life—threatening injuries. so as you can see — still a very dire situation on the ground in southern gaza. and for those who are avoiding the strikes — there is the major issue of food, water and fuel supplies all close to running out. despite trucks bringing some aid in, there is nowhere near enough available for the hundreds of thousands of people displaced. the situation today about a trying to get an. the situation today about a trying to net an. , ,., the situation today about a trying to aetan. ,_, the situation today about a trying touetan. , ., to get an. this is a catastrophe on to get an. this is a catastrophe on to of to get an. this is a catastrophe on tap of the — to get an. this is a catastrophe on top of the catastrophe _ to get an. this is a catastrophe on top of the catastrophe and - to get an. this is a catastrophe on top of the catastrophe and the - to get an. this is a catastrophe on i top of the catastrophe and the small set of 20 trucks back on thursday or friday and they're finally on

water supplies are low and somewhat as been able to come back on line by generating fuel but all reaching zero stockpiles soon on food and water and food and electricity and we're starting to see the first report of epidemics and people succumbing to disease because of poor sanitary conditions, lack of water and the lack of hygiene. for medical supplies, those talks about where he was in the facility and prioritising those at risk to life and not be able to give the normal level of care and presumably, without those medical supplies, we're going to get increasing numbers of people in that situation. medical supplies are huge piece of the humanitarian aid because it relies on all the time, 80% of

palestinians in gaza rely on international humanitarian assistance and medical supplies and bringing in tens of millions of dollars with the medicines and medical supplies each year we have not been able to do that in the two weeks since this started and we hope to be able to bring in those medical supplies and i believe we will but all of this needs to move faster because as you say, hospitals are getting to the pump theyjust do not have or they need to treat patients and the injured.— and the injured. talking by the timescales _ and the injured. talking by the timescales again, _ and the injured. talking by the timescales again, a _ and the injured. talking by the timescales again, a sense - and the injured. talking by the timescales again, a sense of. and the injured. talking by the - timescales again, a sense of urgency from what you're saying. if we're still talking about tens of trucks going and for the next couple of days, how dyer would that be and give us a flavour of the kind of number of trucks that you want to see and when? the number of trucks that you want to see and when?— number of trucks that you want to see and when? the normal is 500 a da , to see and when? the normal is 500 a day. to nine — see and when? the normal is 500 a day. to nine to _ see and when? the normal is 500 a day, to nine to 12,000 _ see and when? the normal is 500 a day, to nine to 12,000 trucks - see and when? the normal is 500 a day, to nine to 12,000 trucks a -

different stories from across the uk. some people say it was the first hospital to use this artificial birthing model to put midwives through their paces before they trade out for real. since it was introduced, it is a type of injury from shoulder dramatically. shoulder distorts you happens in the babies headis distorts you happens in the babies head is born for the shoulders become stuck behind the mothers pubic bone. delaying the birth of the babies body. according to a study by the hospital looking over a four—year period from 2008, not a single baby suffered long—term damage from shoulder to still see what they expect three or four cases. you probably want to do is, midwives across the world are being trained using this model. it seems this project could save tens of thousands of babies from a lifetime

of paralysis. you're live with bbc news. a bbc investigation has found the authorities have failed to act on warnings from coroners about a website that promotes suicide. at least 50 people in the uk have taken their own lives after visiting the pro—suicide forum. but as angus crawford reports the site remains active. you may find parts of his report upsetting. the sad, the lost and the lonely. at least 50 people in the uk we've identified who ended their lives afterjoining a pro—suicide forum. one was immy nunn. a deaf mental health campaigner, immy had millions of views on tik tok, but she was finding life increasingly hard. immy bought poison and in january ended her life.

just heartbreaking to know that she had to resort to going on a site like this. but we've discovered the authorities have known about the site for years. we've seen multiple reports to the government from coroners warning the forum gives detailed instructions on how to end human life and is breaking the criminal law. when will something be done about it? how many lives have got to be lost? former home secretary sajid javid. his own brother died by suicide. surely this can be stopped. how dangerous it is. i mean, it must be countless lives that this site has already cost globally, notjust here in the uk. and so it would require action. catherine and melanie know that only too well. the government are failing people. police are failing. they've been campaigning to shut the forum down for years. catherine's son joe

ended his life in 2020. and this is the man they hold responsible, an american, lamarcus small, one of the forum's founders. that's lamarcus, isn't it? what i'd love to do to that smile on that face. we managed to track down lamarcus small to huntsville in alabama. one of the reasons the site is still up is because the authorities say they don't know who's behind it. but we know that lamarcus helped set it up and he lives just there. i want to talk to you about the suicide forum you set up. you know, hundreds of people have died after going on that. children are even going on that. have you got anything to say to the relatives of the dead? the government says the new 0nline safety bill should tackle these kinds of sites, but the forum has already said it won't comply, and for now it remains up,

preying on the vulnerable. angus crawford, bbc news, huntsville, alabama. if you've been affected by any of the issues in angus�* film you can visit the bbc action line, which has details of organisations which can help, including urgent support. for those watching in the uk the address you can call for free to the number on screen as well. let's turn now to the situation on israel's northern border with lebanon. there have been frequent crossfire between the idf and hezbollah, a militant group considered a terrorist organisation by the uk, the us and others. there's been much discussion of hezbollah�*s role in the conflict, but who are the group? my colleague simi jor—la—o—sho has more. hezbollah is a shia, islamist political and militant

group that wields considerable power in lebanon. hezbollah is backed by iran and is designated a terrorist organisation by some western countries as well as israel and some arab countries. it was formed in 1982 in response to israel's invasion of lebanon. when it formally announced its establishment in 1985, hezbollah identified the us and the then soviet union as its principal enemies. it also called for the obliteration of israel. after the syrian military imposed peace on lebanon in 1990, hezbollah began to play an active role in lebanese politics. in 1992, it successfully participated in national elections for the first time. the group was credited with getting israeli forces to withdraw from israel in 2000. hezbollah then is it to the pressure to get rid of its arms and continue to strengthen its military wing, whose capabilities in some ways exceeds those of the lebanese army.

in 2006, hezbollah militants launched a cross—border attack in which eight israeli soldiers were killed and two others kidnapped, triggering a massive israeli response. israel bombed hezbollah strongholds and more than 1000 people — mainly lebanese civilians — died. yet hezbollah survived the war and emerged emboldened. in 2008, when lebanon was at the brink of a civil war, the western—backed lebanese government agreed to a power—sharing agreement that gave hezbollah and its allies the power to veto any cabinet decision. hezbollah has continued to upgrade and expand its weapons arsenal and recruit scores of new fighters. most recently, it has exchanged fire with israel

on lebanon's southern border. some lebanese people consider hezbollah a threat to the country's stability, but it is enduringly popular within the shia community. joining me now is hanin haddar, senior fellow at the washington insitute — a think tank which believes strong united states—israel ties advance american national security interests, and author of "hezbollahland". what do you think is the calculation of hezbollah right now? do you think they will be involved? this of hezbollah right now? do you think they will be involved?— they will be involved? this the auestion they will be involved? this the question everyone _ they will be involved? this the question everyone is - they will be involved? this the question everyone is asking i they will be involved? this the l question everyone is asking ray they will be involved? this the - question everyone is asking ray fact that their leader has not uttered a word and this is unusual for him since the beginning of the war, it means they haven't made a decision and there is still deliberating the next steps that miscalculated the us in the western response to the

military powers and if they do get involved, this means it will only become a regional war that will involve iran and for iran, hezbollah has not really, it's the precision guided missiles are there to protect iranian interests in the region itself. they are not there in their job today is not to support hamas or defend the palestinians, the decision really is what is iran going to win or if iran is going to lose. the triumph that they have gained from this war is still higher than the losses and they feel that if hezbollah gets involved, their losses will be more because simply they will lose them as valuable card that they have on the table and they would rather have that in order to

translate some of these gains into political interests in negotiations, meaning... the political interests in negotiations, meaning- - -_ political interests in negotiations, meaninu... ., . _ meaning... the ground incursion by israel, meaning... the ground incursion by israel. that — meaning... the ground incursion by israel, that has _ meaning... the ground incursion by israel, that has been _ meaning... the ground incursion by israel, that has been clearly - israel, that has been clearly planned and not executed yet. if that does go ahead on a large—scale, how does that change the equation of hezbollah? , ., �* how does that change the equation of hezbollah? , . �* ., hezbollah? they haven't said that directl . hezbollah? they haven't said that directly. speaking _ hezbollah? they haven't said that directly. speaking every _ hezbollah? they haven't said that directly. speaking every day - hezbollah? they haven't said that directly. speaking every day and l directly. speaking every day and every official has been speaking in the iranian officials of been speaking every day but they have never really stated this is a redline. the only redline they have stated is if israel takes hamas out, this is where they feel that they are losing a very important component but they can, if they go in for the ground incursion, they can spin it into a victory but the

calculations, if they go in and israel does a ground incursion and they going full scale, the losses will be higher than the gains and they will lose their weapons and it would take forever to restock the missiles. iran is not in a good financial situation to rehabilitate, reconstruct or restock the weapons and they would rather spend the war proceedings to the victory and want to be a part of the war and again, from the warand to be a part of the war and again, from the war and build on the rhetoric without really losing much because if they really go in, it is not going to look good for them, unless there calculation shift and they realise they cannot translate these gains. they realise they cannot translate these gains-— they realise they cannot translate these gains. they realise they cannot translate these aains. ., ~ , . ., these gains. thank you very much for bein: on these gains. thank you very much for being on the — these gains. thank you very much for being on the programme. _ these gains. thank you very much for being on the programme. thank - these gains. thank you very much for being on the programme. thank you. to stay with us and we'll have

plenty more coverage, including from new york, the un security council meeting and do stay with us here. this is bbc news. hello there. the last week of october is looking fairly unsettled weather—wise, with showers or longer spells of rain — driven by areas of low pressure — moving in off the atlantic, with associated weather fronts bringing the wet weather and some strengthening winds through the channel by the end of the weekend. let's take a look at this evening. you can see we've got some outbreaks of rain across the north—east of england clearing away, but actually all attention down towards parts of south wales,

in towards devon and cornwall, and wet weather drifting east through dorset, hampshire, the isle of wight, towards sussex as well, and into kent. and it's here that we have a met office yellow warning force for that heavy rain overnight. drier elsewhere, under clear skies through west wales, north—west england, northern ireland. western scotland, chilly at times — three celsius there in glasgow, colder in the countryside. to wednesday, and the overnight rain in the south—east beginning to clear away. and for many, wednesday is a reasonable day — plenty of dry and bright weather around, but also some large areas of cloud and some showery outbreaks of rain. the wet weather in the southeast eventually clears mid—to—late

morning, and then some sunshine through the midlands and wales begins to extend further east towards east anglia. cloudier skies through northern ireland and indeed across scotland. outbreaks of rain pushing in across eastern scotland from the north sea and into the central belt at times too. and then towards thursday now, that broad area of low pressure sticking with us, its associated weather fronts bringing further showery outbreaks of rain, and some of that wet weather will be persistent at times. in between, though, there will be some brighter skies through parts of wales, the midlands and parts of south—east england. that wet weather, though, becoming confined towards the north—east of england and across central and eastern scotland. just seeing those accumulations of rain totting up exactly where we don't want them. temperature—wise, around 9—15 celsius north to south. it's a similar picture on friday. you can see the swirl of the cloud and rain associated with that area of low pressure, so it remains unsettled. a keen east wind through scotland, and some of that rain becoming confined and slow—moving through eastern parts of scotland as well. elsewhere, some sunshine and some showers or longer spells of rain. temperatures once again around 9—15 celsius.

and as we approach the last weekend of october, it remains unsettled. indeed, it remains unsettled into next week, too. that's the forecast for now. there

definitely, this is not our world. the international- community is obliged, under international law, to stop them. _ it is our collective - human duty to stop them. now, continued failure at this council is inexcusable. - last night on the programme, we brought you the breaking news that two more hostages had been released. today, we heard from one of them about the horrors they experienced in the hamas tunnels. the families of more than 200 hostages will be hoping their loved ones will also be released. tonight, we'll take look at the diplomatic efforts to address the conflict — including in new york, where the un security council has been meeting today.
