11:09 pm
turn our attention. israel's military says it is carrying out more strikes against hezbollah in southern lebanon, after a week of heavy bombing. israel had already hit 75 targets here in lebanon in the south, in the eastern bekaa valley and here in the capital beirut. around forty projectiles were fired the other way from lebanon into israel. earlier today, an israeli airstrike hit an appartment block, which their military say killed a top hezbollah commander. anna foster went to see what happened. fear in the heart of the lebanese capital. moments after an israeli missile strike, dust from a destroyed home fills the air. it's less than an hour since this air strike was reported in the southern suburbs of beirut and i just want to show you, you can see there, this is an apartment on the first, second floor, and you can really see the damage that's been caused. now, the idf have described this as a precision strike.
11:10 pm
when they carry out these operations in the southern suburbs they're normally targeting the senior leadership of hezbollah. the israeli military released these pictures of the building being hit, killing, they say, the head of hezbollah's aerial command, muhammad hossein sarur. at least two people were killed here and 15 injured. talk of a ceasefire feels far away from the streets of beirut. today was supposed to be about de—escalation, a pause to calm tensions, but scenes like this make it hard to see how either side plans to step back from the brink of a new war. lebanon's health ministry say 92 people have been killed in israeli strikes over the past 2a hours. since monday more than 700 people have been killed here in lebanon, and more than 90,000 people displaced. israel says it's only targeting his brother military infrastructure and missile launch sites in the country.
11:11 pm
11:12 pm
and farra, all gone. and iman and talia nasser, who took their last breaths together, also killed by israel's bombardment. but some have made it to safety, having run for their lives. my name is mehdi ahmad and my years old is ten years old. and what has been happening in the last two days? you had to leave your house. the war is very big and very scared and i cry. how did you feel, having to leave your home? were you sad? "yes, i was very sad," he says. "we left behind half our belongings.
11:13 pm
"a missile landed near us. "we went quickly so we wouldn't be hit." his biggest fear, he tells me, is losing his family. instead of going to school, many lebanese children, like mehdi, are now living in schools and colleges. this could be home for some time. international calls for a ceasefire came to nothing today. 0rla guerin, bbc news, sebline, lebanon. a harley street doctor who worked for the harrods owner mohammed al fayed has denied carrying intrusive sexual health tests on women who worked for him. several women have told the bbc that dr ann coxon carried out the medical checks while working for him,
11:14 pm
including a woman who was just 16 at the time. al fayed is accused of multiple rapes and sexual assaults by female staff — raising questions about what those around him at the time knew, and how they may have enabled his actions. those closest to him included his security team, his senior personal assistants, the press office who defended him over stories of alleged sexual harassment and assault. and doctors who would allegedly carry out intrusive medical examinations, including wendy snell who's since died, and dr ann coxon, who as helena wilkinson reports, the bbc spoke to today. do you have anything to say to the victims, dr coxon? . this is dr ann coxon, who worked for the former harrods boss mohamed al fayed. multiple women have told the bbc that she carried out medical checks on them when he owned the store. i have no comment.
11:15 pm
do you regret working for mr al fayed? no. you don't? bbc news has been trying to contact dr coxon since the documentary was broadcast. today, we managed to track her down. did you carry out std testsi on harrods staff members? no. i did not. you're being accused of doing so, i do you have anything to say on that? no comment. dr coxon's denial about carrying out std test contradicts women the bbc has spoken to, including kate — not her real name — who was 16 when she says she was raped by al fayed. she also said she was sent for an intrusive medical examination with dr coxon. kate is portrayed by an actor. when i first started working for mohamed al fayed, he soon started asking me
11:16 pm
inappropriate questions, like, did i have a boyfriend? had i been sexually active? i was only 16 years old and i was a virgin, and he soon discovered that. so it was organised for me to see dr ann coxon of harley street for a medical examination. this was offered to me as a perk for working in the chairman's office. dr coxon asked me to do internal examination. she wanted to test for hiv and stds but i said that i wasn't sexually active yet, so therefore it was unnecessary. my concerns were brushed off and i was told that an internal examination was necessary. i remember feeling very confused. according to the women we've spoken to, in many cases their confidential medical results were sent directly to al fayed. today, the current harrods managing director made a public statement for the first time since the bbc
11:17 pm
documentary a week ago. michael ward said... also today, harrods said that, following a review over the past year, it had introduced 50 sexual harassment officers. they're specially trained to deal with workers who have complaints about sexual harassment. harrods has also got a settlement process in place for alleged victims. the growing number of women who accuse al fayed of horrific attacks now want answers. helena wilkinson, bbc news.
11:18 pm
well, the metropolitan police have revealed that 19 women made allegations of rape, sexual assault and trafficking against mohammed al fayed over the past two decades — but he was never prosecuted. and fulham football club — which al fayed owned until 2013 — is also trying to establish whether anyone has been affected. the conservative party's former co—chair, baroness warsi, has resigned the party's whip in the house of lords over what she calls the "hypocrisy and double standards" of how it treats different communities. 0ur political correspondent, damian grammaticus has more details. taking us back and saying, who is she? she was a conservative party as you say, brought to the party by david cameron and put into the lords and served in the cabinet and she was prominent as the first muslim cabinet minister in which she said in her tweets today was that she said she is deciding to no longer take the conservative wit and so
11:19 pm
resigning as a member in the lords and she is a conservative remains above the current party are far removed from the party she joined and served and and a reflection on how far right she believes the party had moved and the hypocrisy and double standards and its treatment of different communities. following that we have a statement from the conservatives themselves who said that the baroness was informed earlier this week that an investigation was about to begin into her and i was following complaints of supposedly divisive language and we spoke and it relates to the tweet she put out and this was to do with a court case that happened in an individual accused of racially aggravated public order events during the recent riots in the baroness had been welcoming the fact that that individual was
11:20 pm
acquitted in over her tweets she issued at that point and baroness has a history of disagreement with her party on some these issues and resigned back and david cameron 0z was government over the then israel gaza conflict in which she, at the time, believed that actions being taken were disproportionate and the government should call that out and so, she has a history of this in criticising some of the contenders for the conservative leadership over positions they have taken and has a history of disagreeing with the party and as she says in her tweets, as amended, she is unhappy with the positioning of the party and the party has an investigation into her. heavy rain and flash flooding has hit parts of england, with the met office warning further
