win the most seats for the first time. hello, i'm geeta guru—murthy. thanks for being with us. it's being reported that the body of the hezbollah lead, hassan nasrallah, has been recovered from the site of an air strike in beirut, in which he and several other people died. these pictures we believe show the aftermath of the strike in which nasrullah and other senior hezbollah commanders were killed. an entire block, completely reduced to rubble — with many surrounding buildings severely damaged. on saturday evening, israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu said the outcome of that air strike as an "historic turning point".

but iran, a close supporter of his hezbollah said his death would be avenged. israel has continued with its attacks against senior figures in hezbollah. the country's military posted on x that it has killed nabil anuk, who it says was a member of hezbollah�*s executive council. in what it says was a precise strike. hezbollah has not confirmed this. this is the scene live in beirut this morning — the prime minister of lebanon has called for a diplomatic solution to the conflict — warning that up to a milllion people in his country will be displaced by the violence. translation: we believe 1 million people _ translation: we believe 1 million people have - translation: we believe 1 million people have been i million people have been displaced. we are dealing with

all this problem. as today's news unfolds, our middle east correspondent nafiseh kohnavard has given us insight into the situation on the ground. she spoke to us from part of beirut where many displaced people spent their night in a small park. i am in downtown beirut for the second day and these people behind me arejust family, the tens of families that have spent the second night on the street with no help, no support. they had to stay in these parks and they are, we saw a lot of other families that were just sleeping in the street. there is no place for them to go back. some of them decided to go to syria, to return to syria and also some lebanese decided to go to syria because they think syria now, for example, damascus would be safer than beirut itself. so this is the situation. the whole night we had drones that it is believed to our israeli surveillance drones and the... buzzing was so strong, stronger than any time ever that we have heard and still i am hearing

it, a bit like a mosquito or a motorcycle in the skies. this is the situation, that people think the israeli attacks will continue. can you also tell us more about how hezbollah supporters are now feeling about their own leaders and about iran? well, they are still shocked. many people that we talked to, i have talked to this morning, they are from dahieh, they are still shocked, some of them don't believe that this has happened. and somehow a part of them, a part of that community, and not only hezbollah�*s supporters community. i can say i heard this from some shias who have nothing to do with hezbollah as a party, but they think that iran, this is exactly what i heard from them, that they think iran has sold them out for its own benefit. so i see posts on social media that they are expressing that anger, why iran didn't do anything when

pager blasts happened? why iran didn't help hezbollah when at least 16 high ranked commanders of hezbollah were killed in one airstrike in dahieh? why iran didn't help, why iran didn't support? so this is the feeling. of course, there are supporters for iran and another side, they believe that iran will come, will organise hezbollah again and will help and revenge. but the general feeling that i can sense here massively indicates that they are so disappointed with iran's support. her correspondence nafiseh kohnavard there on the ground in beirut speaking to me earlier. now to the question

of what will happen next — and whether there will be a ground invasion into lebanon. yossi mekelberg, associate fellow of the mena programme at chatham house, told us he thinks there is support in israel if this were to happen. not only with the killing of hassan nasrallah, but also over the last ten days eliminating most of the hezbollah�*s leadership, i think there is support for such a ground invasion. i think what is seen as almost intolerable is the fact that 60,000 israelis have been displaced since the beginning of the war, since the 8th of october, from the north of israel and they saw it as a... victory. and hezbollah, i think they would like to see the north of israel is secure again. the question is what the leadership plans for its military success and what it can constructively translated into a dramatic effort and a

political solution. i5 into a dramatic effort and a political solution.— political solution. is their nervousness, _ political solution. is their nervousness, do - political solution. is their nervousness, do you - political solution. is their i nervousness, do you think? should israel be nervous about whatever retaliation comes their way? it whatever retaliation comes their way?— their way? it should be concerned... _ their way? it should be concerned... it - their way? it should be concerned... it doesn'ti their way? it should be - concerned... it doesn't produce all of that market hasn't reduced all of hezbollah�*s capabilities. they are still firing rocket. no doubt it has damaged it quite badly, but not fatally. at the same time, the big question is how is iran going to respond? on the one hand, iran has no interest in a full—scale war with israel. but it lost a massive strategic asset by the killing of hassan nasrallah and the reduction of military capabilities of hezbollah.— military capabilities of hezbollah. , hezbollah. yossi mekelberg there. let's _ hezbollah. yossi mekelberg there. let's go _ hezbollah. yossi mekelberg there. let's go live - hezbollah. yossi mekelberg there. let's go live to - hezbollah. yossi mekelberg. there. let's go live to beirut. our correspondence and foster i

believe is there for us, we are trying to get through to her and will go to her if we can. hello, i know. we have obviously been hearing reports today that the body of hassan nasrallah has been found. what is that going to mean, what are we going to see as a result of that? i we going to see as a result of that? 4' we going to see as a result of that? ~ ., , that? i think what we will see will be his — that? i think what we will see will be his funeral, _ that? i think what we will see will be his funeral, of- that? i think what we will see will be his funeral, of course, and that will be a significant event, notjust here in beirut in the southern suburbs, but also around the country as well, when you sort of consider the emotional response from hezbollah supporters to his killing and also when you consider that he led that organisation for more than 30 years. he was such a figurehead, a very spiritual figurehead, a very spiritual figure to many of hezbollah's supporters. that funeral will come. i imagine it will be quite large, i imagine there will be certainly security fears. you can see around here there are thousands of people and these are people who will not living in turn, who left

off after that air strike that killed hassan nasrallah on friday evening and who are now on the streets here. if they are not in dahieh right now, there is a chance that the normal crowds you would get for a funeral like this might be a little smaller, but these are details we are yet to find out. but that funeral will happen quite quickly, as is always the case, when you have seen with the senior hezbollah commanders who have been targeted and killed in israeli attacks over the last week or so, the funerals tend to come the next day. so that is something, of course, we will watch. interestingly, we were talking about people here moving away from dahieh so they feel safe. the idf has just put out some information saying they have conducted another, what they call a precise strike in the dahieh area, with details of that, they say, to follow. they also say they are continuing to strike targets belonging to hezbollah across lebanon, they say including launch is

directed towards israeli territory. so really, no sign at this stage that either hezbollah or israel are going to stop this war, is it very much looks like at this stage. and we have been hearing in the last couple of hours, speaking to some of our colleagues monitoring the information coming from iran that it isn't yet clear whether iran is going to retaliate in a very strong way. obviously everyone is still very worried about huge escalation in the region, but the signals are not clear yet, brown, they? the signals are not clear yet, brown. they?— the signals are not clear yet, brown, they? no, they aren't. white -- _ brown, they? no, they aren't. white -- de — brown, they? no, they aren't. white -- de signals— brown, they? no, they aren't. white -- de signals are - brown, they? no, they aren't. white -- de signals are not i white -- de signals are not clear yet — white -- de signals are not clear yet from _ white -- de signals are not clear yet from iran. - white -- de signals are not clear yet from iran. iran i white -- de signals are not i clear yet from iran. iran would sometimes — clear yet from iran. iran would sometimes respond _ clear yet from iran. iran would sometimes respond and i clear yet from iran. iran would j sometimes respond and would consider to be quite a spectacular way, you remember that with an iranian attack direct on israel a couple of months ago where they fired

cruise missiles towards israel. that was a huge response towards the killing of a commander. but then when we saw an israeli assassination of the political leader of hamas just a few weeks ago, again, that was a hugely significant moment and one that we haven't really seen a retaliation to just yet. i ball says that sometimes it reacts immediately and sometimes it says it will consider its reaction and that will come at a time of i run mack's choosing, that is something they will often say in iran. but no doubt that will create fears because you're not just talking about an iranian retaliation against israel, you're talking about iranian—backed militias, the who houthis in yemen as well. and we are talking about a lot of conflict in the middle east and that is why there has been this huge concern that everything could get wrapped up

into a regional war and that is what world leaders are still desperately trying to avoid. anna foster in beirut, thank you. siavash ardalan from bbc persian says there has been a range of reactions in iran to the killing of hassan nasrallah. well, the supreme leader himself announced a national day of mourning, indeed, five days of national mourning and if you walk around the capital today, you see billboards put up by the city council mourning the death of hassan nasrallah. otherwise, i think the mood in iran is one of relief that iran has not decided to forcibly respond, that it will not embark on any military action against israel. of course, that is not the sentiment among the hardliners. many of whom are within the government itself, who have urged that iran should show a response, invoking the adage that if iran doesn't respond today in beirut or in tel aviv,

tomorrow it will have to respond into iran. but the other people within the iranian system, including the resident, the new president, has called for restraint when they went to the un a few days ago, they talked about diplomacy, they talked about reviving the nuclear deal and if iran were to respond very powerfully to israel, as it did back in israel when its consulate was tipped in syria, then that would undermine iran's effort to engage in some sort of conciliation or detente with the west, which seems to be the agenda of the current administration. siavash ardalan from bbc persian. we spoke to one family, the dean who lives in london and her daughters shortly after they arrived at heathrow airport from the middle east. i heathrow airport from the middle east.— heathrow airport from the middle east. i have left my grandparents _ middle east. i have left my grandparents and - middle east. i have left my grandparents and i - middle east. i have left my grandparents and i live i middle east. i have left my| grandparents and i live with

he's done really well. you know, he keeps mentioning he's won two trophies and he has, you know. so i don't think that's insignificant. everyone keeps telling me that's all i have to do. but obviously it's not all you have to do, you know? because when you do that, then there's more. there's always more. so i think he's done a greatjob. like i said, a difficultjob. over in florida, lionel messi scored again as his inter miami team moved to the brink of clinching the top seed in the mls cup playoffs. inter had fallen behind to charlotte, before messi scored his 15th goal in 16 mls appearances this season. miami's nearest rivals, columbus, conceded a late equaliser to dc united, which means inter can clinch top spot in the eastern conference and the number one overall seed when the two teams meet on wednesday. tomas machac will play france's ugo humbert for a place in the final of the japan open. humbert was leading jack draper by a set and 2—1 games

in the second when the british number one retired with what seemed to be an abdominal injury. machac, meanwhile — who is an olympic mixed doubles gold medallist — beat the 20—year—old american qualifier alex michelsen in straight sets. machac�*s on a real golden run in the tournament after previously beating the fifth seed, tommy paul. over in beijing karen khachanov will face either second seed carlos alcaraz or dutchman tallon griekspoor in the quarterfinals of the china open. seventh seed khachanov saw off argentina's francisco cerundolo in the last 16. it was a tight battle between the pair, with the russian twice pushed to a tie—break, but he held his nerve to take the victory 7—6, 7—6. in the women's tournament, us open runner—upjessica pegula survived a scare to reach the last 16. the second seed from the united states fought back to beat russian veronika kudermetova 6—7, 6—1, 6—2. pegula will play spain's paula badosa next.

jorge martin has won the grand prix of indonesia to extend his lead in the motogp championship standings. the spanish ducati rider led the race from start to finish. it's martin's third win of the season, and it means he's now 21 points clear at the top of the standings from two—time defending champion francesco bagnaia with five rounds to go. golf. the usa will take an 11—7 lead into sunday's singles matches at the presidents cup in montreal, but once again their contest with the international team was shrouded in controversy. south korea's tom kim accused his american opponents of poor sportsmanship after being forced to play a putt just feet away from the cup and swearing at him as tensions flared once more. the us won both of saturday's fourballs and foursomes sessions 3—1 to take a four—point lead with sunday's12 singles matches to come. and very much came down...

thanks to this birdie putt on the 18th from cantlay, which saw the us won both of saturday's fourballs and foursomes sessions. finally, england are in danger of wasting their good start in the fifth and deciding one day international in bristol. they were 202 for the loss of two wickets after just 25 overs, but there's been something of a collapse since captain harry brook went for 72. a few moments ago they were... ben duckett has just reached his hundred keep up to date on the bbc sport website and app but that's the all the sport for now. thank you very much. here in the uk, the mp, rosie duffield, has quit the ruling labour party over what she says are the prime minister's "cruel" policies and "hypocrisy" over his acceptance of gifts. in her resignation letter, she criticised sir keir for accepting expensive personal gifts of designer suits and glasses while scrapping the winter fuel payment and keeping the two—child benefit cap. our chief political correspondent henry zeffman has

more. i think it's fair to say rosie duffield has been semi—detached from the labour party for some time. nevertheless, a very big deal for her to quit the labour party all together and to do so in a letter to keir starmer which is direct and incredibly personal in its criticism of him as a leader and in terms of the decisions he has made in his brief time as prime minister. what she did on sunday with laura kuenssberg just a few hours ago was making a string of new criticisms even beyond those made in the letter. she said she thought the prime minister had a woman problem, for example, she talked of the lads who she said were advisers around him, very male dominated. crucially, should this might be concerning for the labour leadership, she said this was how a lot of backbenchers and labour mps like she was until yesterday also feel about the prime minister about the prime minister about the prime minister and his team. yes, talkin: minister and his team. yes, talking about _ minister and his team. yes, talking about them - minister and his team. yes, talking about them feeling l minister and his team. yes, | talking about them feeling a bit ignored by the leadership. we also heard from pat mcfadden

evenin public frustration, perhaps even in some quarters anger with what has been disclosed here and that was pat mcfadden, this is the government trying to draw a line under it, say they get it and they hope to move on. they get it and they hope to move on-— they get it and they hope to move on. y , ., the conservative conference is opening in birmingham this afternoon, the first since the party's election defeat injuly. the four candidates to succeed rishi sunak will make speeches, and take questions. james cleverly, kemi badenoch, tom tugendhat and robert jenrick will be trying to win support before mps eliminate two more of them from the contest. the home ministry in nepal says more than 120 people have been killed in floods and landslides triggered by the heaviest rain in over half a century. more than 60 people are missing and several thousand rescuers are helping with relief and rescue operations across much of the country. around 3,000 people have been rescued so far. bbc reporter sanjaya dhakal has the latest from kathmandu. in what has been described as record amounts of rainfall to hit kathmandu since 1970, the capital area has witnessed deaths and destruction due to flooding and landslides.

as the weather cleared on sunday, police have discovered more dead bodies from vehicles that were buried in a landslide on a highway near kathmandu. they have recovered around 27 bodies from two vehicles. the home ministry has put the death toll at 127, with 63 still missing. while aerial route is open, kathmandu is cut off from the rest of the country from land routes, as most highways are blocked at multiple places, due to landslides. our reporter there for us in kathmandu. austria is voting in a general election today, which the far—right freedom party could win for the first time. the party has been rising in popularity after tapping into concerns about migration and inflation. but no party is expected to win enough seats to get an outright majority, and building a coalition is likely to be difficult. we are back, of course, in 30 minutes with a full round—up of all the news and the bbc live
