hezbollah says it's fired missiles into northern israel, in the aftermath of a deadly strike in southern beirut. news organisation aljazeera says israeli soldiers have raided its office in the occupied west bank, ordering it to close for 45 days. ukraine strikes two large ammunition depots inside russia — the second such attack in less than a week. and, joe biden hosts his final quad summit as president with leaders from australia, india and japan in his hometown of wilmington, delaware. hello, i'm carl nasman. we begin in the middle east, where israeli forces now say a third round of rockets has been launched toward northern israel by hezbollah. the lebanese militant group

confirmed it had fired missiles over the border early sunday. hezbollah said on telegram it had targeted israel's ramat david airbase, 20 kilometres south of the city of haifa. air raid sirens were also triggered in several areas of northern isarel, including near haifa, according to israel. these pictures show part of an intercepted rocket launched from lebanon that fell in nazareth in israel in the early hours of sunday. it comes in the hours after the israeli military carried out what it called extensive strikes on hezbollah targets in southern lebanon. israeli aircraft destroyed thousands of hezbollah rocket launchers in southern lebanon, according to israeli officials. also tonight, the us state department is urging american citizens to leave lebanon, with fears growing of an all—out war. meanwhile, the death toll from israel's strike on a densely populated area of southern beirut on friday has risen to 37.

hezbollah says 16 of its members were killed in the attack, including senior military commander ibrahim aqil. he was wanted by the us government for years and was designated a global terrorist for his involvement in the 1983 bombing of the us embassy in beirut. friday's bombing also killed civilians, including three children, with more feared trapped in the rubble. middle east correspondent orla guerin reports from the scene in beirut. a beirut suburb turned into a battlefield. they are standing on the ruins of a seven—storey building in the hezbollah stronghold of dahieh. israel says this was a precision strike. it doesn't look very precise. well, the search for bodies is continuing here now. rescue workers are still picking through the rubble.

the strike took place in the middle of this densely populated residential area. the result for hezbollah has been the loss of a top military leader and other senior commanders. it is another blow to an organisation that is looking exposed and weakened. but the dead here also included women and children, and every member of the daqduqi family. still counted among the missing four—year—old naya ghazi. local people gathered today waiting for news, fearing what it might be. some said the attack would change nothing. people absorb the shock and they start their life again. it's hard, but this is the way we choose, and we will not stop.

we have to defend our country. we have to defend our border. we have to defend our people from any aggression, from israelis orfrom others. hezbollah has been burying some of those killed by israel yesterday. they were carried aloft on anger and defiance. the iranian—backed group is fighting on, firing volleys of rockets across the border today. and israel has been hitting hard, with dozens of fighter planes bombing southern lebanon, targeting hezbollah rocket launchers, israel says. if the international community was concerned before, it will be far more worried tonight.

orla guerin, bbc news, beirut. in gaza, palestinian health officials say at least 22 people were killed in an israeli strike on a school. officials said most of the victims were women and children who were sheltering there. israel's military says it was targeting a hamas command room. there are reports that an unborn child was among those killed. bbc verify has looked at several videos of the aftermath. clips appear to show a foetus being carried by a civil defence worker. to the occupied west bank, where israeli forces have raided aljazeera's office in ramallah that's according to the news organization. you're looking now at pictures from aljazeera's broadcast, when it says heavilyarmed israeli troops handed a 45—day closure order to a staff member. the soldiers say an israeli court issued the closure. israel banned journalists from the qatari—based network from operating inside the country back in may, when it shut down aljazeera's offices in eastjerusalem.

israel says the network was a threat to the country's security. at least 12 people have been injured in a russian bomb attack on an apartment building in ukraine's second—largest city, kharkiv. the assault on saturday came hours after ukrainian drone attacks on two russian ammunition depots — one in the southwestern region of kras—nodar, the other in toropets — a town in russia's northwestern tver region. ukrainian officials say more than 100 drones were used in the operation, which also focused on targets in russian—occupied crimea. russia says it shot down 18 ukrainian drones our europe correspondent, jess parker, reports. a fireball erupting into the night sky as ukraine staged a major drone attack. this, says kyiv, was a russian ammunition depot that included supplies it believes are from north korea — one of two munitions stores ukraine claims to have hit last night.

translation: these were . warehouses of russian tactical missiles and guided aerial bombs, all that russia uses for terror against our cities, our positions. ukraine has been ramping up these kinds of attacks, demonstrating a growing drone strike capability. but what kyiv really wants is permission to use western—made long—range missiles on targets deep inside russia — permission president zelensky has confirmed he still doesn't have. he is heading to the us this coming week seeking further support, and this military analyst says the recent drone attacks are all part of kyiv�*s wider political message. the point is that ukraine could show to our western partners and the biden administration that even without western permission, western missiles, we could

achieve our targets and our goals in russian territory. but of course, with western missiles, it could be better, more massive, more concentrated and more effective. in russia, authorities released footage of what it says are evacuees following last night's drone strike, while in ukraine, moscow's bombs continue to cause devastation. its troops try to push further into ukraine. one constant is the growing toll of victims. jessica parker, bbc news, in kyiv. william taylor is a former us ambassador to ukraine. he's just returned from kyiv. i talked about all this with him a little earlier. you were actually in ukraine, in kyiv, last week. what was the atmosphere there like? carl, the atmosphere there is reflecting the offensive, the attack into russia, that the ukrainian military are undertaking. it's good for morale. that's kind of a change, isn't it? it hasn't always been that way.

i've been there eight times since the big war started, and it varies. morale varies depending on how things are going on the battlefield, and they are going better now. still, people are worried. you know, they're holding territory inside russia and they're trying to defend down in donetsk, but it is a high—risk operation. now, let's talk about these strikes within russia — 2,000 tons of weaponry destroyed by these ukrainian drones, according to ukraine. how effective do you think these ukrainian drone strikes have been for the country? very effective. i saw an estimate that three months' worth of shells, artillery shells, were destroyed in that one thing. that means that three months' worth of artillery shells killing ukrainian soldiers have been destroyed, have been blown up. and some of these glide bombs, these really big and accurate

glide bombs that were going into the trenches where ukrainian soldiers are, were also destroyed. a lot that came from north korea, a lot that has come from russia. do you think that some of that success that you mention there, using their own weapons — would that be an impetus to press and maybe convince us allies that they should be able to use western weapons to do exactly the same thing? i don't see why not — i don't see why not. if the russians are firing at them, the ukrainians ought to be able to fire back. they've been able to do that when we've given them the authority to use our weapons in the short term, barely across border. this is going deep, as you say, and those are military targets — big ammo dumps. that's having an effect on the russians' ability to pursue this war. it will be a busy week coming up for ukrainian president volodymyr zelensky, isn't it? he's coming over here to the united states. he is expecting to be meeting with president, the vice president, donald trump. he'll be at the un meetings. what do you expect from zelensky coming? we got some indication

last week in kyiv. he was very clear — he didn't want to give details of his proposal. he's got a victory plan, and he is going to present this victory plan, as you said, first to president biden. he made it very clear he's not going to disclose what's in it. he made a commitment to president biden that he would talk to him him first, but then he will tell the rest of his country. it's going to have a military component, an economic components, a diplomatic component, and this would be a way to push the russians toward negotiations to end this war. is this, do you think, too little, too late? does ukraine actually have a path, do you think, typically, plan or no plan? i think they do, carl. i think they do. a lot depends on us. if we could provide them with the weapons they need, and as you indicate, the authority to use those weapons deep into russia

at military targets, taking away those ammo dumps, then yes, the ukrainians can push the russians very hard and push the russians back, so that the russians will figure out — putin will figure out — he can't win. he can't outlast them. again, that's if we continue to provide what we've been providing so far. so speaking to many us leaders, and also will be at that united nations meeting, presumably meeting with several other of his allies there. do you think this is going to be a crucial week for zelensky? it'll be an important week, there's no doubt. he puts a lot of stock in this victory plan. he has said many times, both to us last week and in preparation for this trip, that a lot depends on the united states. and when he comes and talks to the people that you mentioned, he is hoping to get some kind of a commitment that will allow him to move forward. let's look at russia now before i let you go. there was a recent report by our bbc colleagues that found that more than 70,000 russian troops have now died in this conflict.

where do you think russia's military stands? does it have the capacity still to fend off these sorts of drone attacks, and also, of course, dealing with an incursion as well? it is, it's dealing with an incursion, and ukraine still occupies a good chunk of russia. and there were 100 drones that attacked that ammo dump. 100 drones going 300 kilometres or more over a lot, and they weren't shut down. so it is the right question: do the russians have the ability to continue to fight? interesting stuff, as always. bill taylor, the former us ambassador to ukraine from 2006 to 2010, always good have you here. thank you, carl. the us, australia, india, and japan announced a new maritime security agreement and a joint coast guard mission on saturday, as the summit of the so—called quad alliance wrapped up in delaware. the alliance's joint statement also expressed the quad is "seriously concerned" about the situation in the south china sea. it's us president biden�*s final quad summit of his presidency

and he's aiming to cement the importance of the alliance to countering china's rise in the indo—pacific. daniel russel is vice president for international security and diplomacy at the asia society policy institute, and former assistant secretary of state for east asian and pacific affairs. hejoined me a little earlier. what did you make of what we're hearing now coming from that summit statement — that concern about the situation in the south china sea? there's very close alignment among the four on their concerns about the behaviour of china. interestingly, the statement doesn't mention china per se, but it does focus on the challenges and the problems. and one of the biggest ones — and it's important that india is fully on board with that statement — is the assertive behaviour and the rule—flouting behaviour that china is manifesting against small countries and neighbours in the south china sea. is there anything —

of course, besides some kind of strong language in this document coming out of the summit — that these four countries think they might be able to do to counter china's presence there? well, one of the important initiatives from the quad is something called the indo—pacific maritime domain awareness initiative. and that's a very long name for what really is the four countries putting their national satellite technology and also their private satellite information at the disposal of these small island nations, these small coastal nations, so that they can track the massive fishing fleets as well as the paramilitary coastguard activities of china and protect and defend not only their exclusive economic zones but importantly the resources in them — the fish stocks and the minerals and so on.

so it's not a head—on confrontation, but this satellite surveillance information is otherwise unavailable to the countries. moreover, what the four leaders today have agreed is to significantly bolster coastguard exercises and coastguard training for the countries in south—east asia and beyond, so they're looking at both the pacific ocean and the indian ocean. so these things do matter. it was also an interesting setting for this summit, wasn't it, taking place in the actual home of the president there in delaware. well, it was at his home for the bilateral meetings and at his old high school for the meeting of the quad leaders.

0h, interesting, 0k. you've got to chuckle that this is sort of the ultimate revenge for somebody who wasn't necessarily first in his class at high school, and i think bidenjoked a little bit about that. but it wasn't a nostalgia summit. they weren't singing auld lang syne. they were getting real work done, important work, and they generated real outcomes. i mentioned the maritime security initiatives, but in technology, importantly in public health, in other areas, they produced programmes that directly benefit communities in south—east asia, in south asia and the pacific islands. so it's notjust the four countries collaborating on their own behalf. they're really generating global goods for countries in the region. not a nostalgia tour, but at the same time maybe a bit of legacy building here, right? solidifying whatjoe biden has been working on for the past four years. we've seen the president with lots of time and resources

put towards building those alliances and strengthening ties and relationships with a lot of countries — south korea, japan, for example — in the region. absolutely. yes, so it's not nostalgia, but it definitely went to cement the collaboration of the quad, i think, in a very significant way. you know, they have a number of working groups that have become quite mature and are generating a lot of outcomes. these bring government officials from the four countries together but also involve the private sector. in the us, the us congressjust agreed, surprisingly, on a quad caucus of republican and democratic members who are going to continue to involve themselves and support the quad.

so there's some institutionalisation right there that's going to go beyond biden�*s tenure. and even though biden is leaving and kishida will be leaving, i think there's a constant, certainly for the united states, which is the need to co—operate with allies and partners. donald trump has turned down a second debate with vice president kamala harris. on friday, ms harris accepted an invitation from cnn to go head to head in late october. in a statement, her campaign said: but at a rally in north carolina on saturday,the republican nominee ruled out another debate. i've already done two, one with crooked joe biden at cnn, and the other one with kamala on abc. cnn was very fair, i thought. joe was driven out of the race.

it was a coup, by the way, but he was driven out of the race. and they've been widely criticised by the radical left lunatics for all of the fairness. they were very fair. in other words, they won't be fair again. the problem with another debate is that it's just too late. voting has already started. lawyers representing women allegedly raped or sexually assaulted by the late egyptian billionaire mohamed al fayed say they've received about 100 new enquiries about the investigation. the former harrods owner has been accused of sexual assault by more than 20 ex—employees of the luxury department store while it was under his ownership. harrods' current owners say they are appalled by the allegations. and fulham football club has said it's trying to establish if anyone at the club has been affected. al fayed bought the club in 1997 for £30 million. the manager of fulham's former women's team said precautions were put in place to protect female players from him. here's our correspondent,

ellie price, with more. today we have had dozens of women contact us about all of this. i've got testimony here, i've spoken to a number of them. of course, the egyptian billionaire mohamed al fayed owned harrods between 1985 and 2010. he of course, as you say, died last year. but what we've been hearing about today is a network of what some have described as enablers, people who enabled the abuse to happen, and there have been questions today about what their role was in all of that. i spoke to two women who earlier described, in their words, that they were pimped by senior members of harrods — senior managers who thought they were attractive, that mohamed al fayed would find them attractive, and therefore that they should be promoted intojobs. and they both allege that he later sexually assaulted them. another former worker said her line manager brushed it off when she voiced some of her concerns. so as you say, we've been hearing more from the lawyers today, lawyers representing those victims, who have described this as the worst

case of corporate sexual exploitation of young women, potentially, that the world has ever seen. only now are we getting to understand publiclyjust how much — and i used the word monster yesterday, and i'll stand by that — just how much of a monster he was. did the bastions of society, did those in power and influence, protect him? i don't know the answer to that question. what i do know is he died without taking responsibility. there are 37 women involved in a civil case. hundreds more, we are told, have come forward. now, some of those are victims, but also some of those have got evidence of what happened, so it's for the law firm to sort through who might be added to the case. i think it's worth noting, also, that this is, as the lawyers say, an international case now. we are focusing, of course, on harrods and fulham football club, buta number of the abuses have been detailed as happening in properties in paris.

there's also victims who have come forward from the us, from dubai, from australia, from romania — i mean, the list goes on. so very much this becomes an international case where lawyers will seek to sort, in fact, exactly what happened in that entire network. i think it is worth noting harrods, as you mentioned before, have said they are appalled by what has happened and they accept that many victims were failed. the business was sold in 2010, so we're talking about, again, 1a years ago. quite clearly this is very raw for a number of people who were affected. as i say, this case will very much ask questions of who was involved then, and of course there are a number of people who were involved during the time in the business who have remained in posts or have gone on to other senior roles in business in the uk. kenyan president william ruto visited port—au—prince to discuss the progress of his country's un—backed mission to stabilize haiti amid rampant gang violence. president ruto was meeting with authorities and haiti's transitional presidential council on saturday.

mr ruto's visit follows haiti's formation of a provisional electoral council to organize its first general elections since 2016. about 400 kenyan police have been in haiti since latejune to help local police take on gangs that control around 80% of port—au—prince. about two dozen jamaican police officers and soliders are also in place. earlier this month, the united states and ecuador drafted a resolution to replace the current kenya—led mission with a un peacekeeping operation. that's something mr ruto said he'd be open to. on the suggestion to transition this 204 un peacekeeping mission, we have absolutely no problem if that is the direction the un security council want to take. it's been five years since game of thrones came

hello. well, it's already been a lively start of the weekend, with a number of thunderstorms reported on saturday across england and wales. this was one cluster of storms that went across the skyline of ashbourne in derbyshire. the same storms earlier in the day dumped what seems to be marble—sized hail in wolverhampton. that cluster of storms will clear away northwards from merseyside, cheshire, north wales. but then our focus shifts towards the south and across northern france, where we've got more thundery downpours waiting, and they will swing in. now, worst—case scenario on sunday, some communities could see a month's worth of rainfall, so there's an increasing threat of seeing some localised flooding building in as we progress through sunday. next few hours, then, sees those storms arrive from the south. in scotland we've still got a lot of low cloud and drizzle across eastern areas, a bit misty too. temperatures for the most part about 13—16 degrees for england and wales, a bit cooler than that in scotland. sunday's forecast, then — those thundery downpours with us for much of the day.

and there'll be some places that see storm after storm, particularly, i think, across parts of the midlands and parts of wales as well. further north—eastwards into eastern scotland, another cloudy and dull day, with some mist patches around the coastline. still some spots of drizzle. should be brighter and drier in northern ireland, with some sunny spells, and sunshine for west scotland too. monday we've still got some rain to come across england and wales, heavy and thundery still. another area of rain works into northern scotland through monday. that's actually a cold front, so that's going to be starting to drop the temperatures across northern scotland. highs of 12 in stornoway, 13 for aberdeen and just ten in lerwick. in towards the middle part of the week, we see areas of low pressure move across the country, bringing some heavy rain, particularly focused on england and wales. once that's cleared through, we then get these north—westerly winds diving in across the country, and that will really drop the temperatures as the week goes by. tuesday we pick up on our cold front in scotland, bringing some rain here. that will move into northern ireland and northern england as we go through the day. further southwards across the rest of england and wales, it finally stops raining. should be a drier day, with more in the way

of sunshine, and still some reasonable temperatures in the south. it's turning colder in the north, though — just ten in aberdeen and 14 for belfast. and as we go deeper into the new week, it stays unsettled. there'll be rain at times, but temperatures for all of us will be well below average.

voice-over: this is bbc news. we'll have the headlines for you at the top of the hour, which is straight after this programme. i shot this footage nearly 30 years ago. i was a young reporter back then, hungry for stories. i had heard about a case of infanticide in pretty hard, close to my hometown. soi so i set off into the villages of bihar to see if it was true. where baby girls are still being killed at birth? i began by talking to the women who delivered them. the midwives. what i found then still shocks me.
