6:01 am
our main story. the israeli prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, says iran will pay a "terrible price" for launching a barrage of missiles towards sites across israel. tehran said it had concluded its military action, but warned of further attacks if israel retaliated. around 180 missiles were fired across large parts of israel, including jerusalem and tel aviv. most were intercepted. it's been confirmed that british troops were involved in supporting israel. in a statement last night, prime minister keir starmer warned that the middle east is now "on the brink". we'll be speaking to our correspondents across the region throughout the morning, and gauging political reaction, as well, but first with the latest from jerusalem, jon donnison reports. air-raid siren. israel was warned it was coming. but this was iran's revenge. almost 200 ballistic missiles
6:02 am
raining in across the country. explosions. 0k, guys, we got to get off the roof. these are coming down right next to us here. as people ran for shelter, with the iranian missiles travelling some 2,000km in only around 12 minutes, israel's defence system was at full stretch. the israeli prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, said iran would pay a terrible price. translation: iran made a big mistake tonight, - and it will pay for it. the regime in iran does not understand our determination to defend ourselves, and our determination to retaliate against our enemies. we will stand by the rule we established — whoever attacks us, we will attack them. this restaurant in tel aviv took a direct hit. and this was a school
6:03 am
in central israel. the us said it helped in shooting down some of the missiles — its intelligence agencies had alerted israel to an imminent attack. and last night, president biden said they were fully supportive of israel. based on what we now know, the attack appears to have been defeated and ineffective, and this is testament to israeli military capability and us military. and also a testament to intensive planning between the united states and israel, to anticipate and defend against the brazen attack we expected. make no mistake — the united states is fully, fully, fully supportive of israel. in gaza last night, as iran pounded israel, there were celebrations — as there were in the iranian capital, too. iran had vowed vengeance, after israel assassinated hassan nasrallah — the leader of the iranian—backed
6:04 am
lebanese militia hezbollah — on friday, and iran killed the leader of hamas, ismail haniyeh, on iranian soil back injuly. for months now, diplomats have tried to stop the year—long war in gaza from engulfing the region. they've failed. and after last night's unprecedented iranian attacks, israel is expected to hit back hard. jon donnison, bbc news, jerusalem. israel's biggest city, tel aviv — which was targeted by missiles last night. let's have a look at pictures. residents reported receiving a government emergency alarm on their phones — warning people to take shelter. missiles could be seen across the sky — one hit a restaurant in the city. we also have a live shot.
6:05 am
tyre in southern lebanon, which sits 12 miles north of the border with israel, has been hit hard by strikes. tyre is one of the oldest inhabitated cities in the world, but now it is reported that many people had left the seaside city, after increasing attacks from israel. the picture that we just showed you was jerusalem instead. the picture that we just showed you wasjerusalem instead. my mistake. looking quiet after a dramatic night. in a moment we will speak to our middle east correspondent hugo bachega, who is in the lebanese capital beirut — but first to nick beake in northern israel. morning. wejust saw morning. we just saw the pictures of tel aviv, looking quieter this morning. what is the sense on the ground? morning. what is the sense on the round? ,., ., morning. what is the sense on the round? ., morning. what is the sense on the round? ,., ., ., . morning. what is the sense on the round? ,., ., ., ~ ., ground? good morning. we are in the north of israel. _ ground? good morning. we are in the north of israel, where _ ground? good morning. we are in the north of israel, where overnight - north of israel, where overnight there has been the constant sound of israeli jets and helicopters overhead and we can hear a few now, as well. as well as that, there have been quite regular explosions. dull floods in the background. they have
6:06 am
come from beyond the hills because thatis come from beyond the hills because that is where the lebanese border is and it is at that point that the israeli military are going across the border, carrying out these operations. in terms of what we saw here for ourselves last night, we were at this very same spot when the iranians missiles started to come in. about 200. we saw some of them high in the sky above this location, going further towards big major israeli cities including tel aviv and jerusalem. israel says the vast majority were shot down with the help of the americans and the british but benjamin netanyahu has vowed there will be revenge, grave consequences for iran. iran, in turn,is consequences for iran. iran, in turn, is saying that if that happens, if the israelis respond, they will hit back even harder. it is easy to see why so many people are worried about this being a spiral of violence with no end in sight. in terms of what is happening this morning, we can hear every now and then these explosions far away in the distance and that is because
6:07 am
the military are continuing, the israeli military, continuing to pound hezbollah positions. this morning the group deemed a terrorist group by many countries say they are engaging with israeli fighters, pushing them back from one specific town. as of yet there has been no thanks. let's go north. this is beirut this morning — the capital of lebanon. israeli defense forces say they have carried out overnight air strikes again, targeting hezbollah. we have got no control over the camera you are seeing at the moment. it is roaming around, a constant live feed focusing on any events which unfold. our middle east correspondent hugo bachega is in the lebanese capital, beirut. anxious times. morning. morning.

6:09 am
retreat after trying to infiltrate this town. there has not been confirmation by the israeli military. the israelis described this as a limited, targeted operation focused on destroying hezbollah infrastructure in the south of the country. and as this conflict continues, this is a country under pressure. the authorities say that nearly 1900 people have been killed in the past two weeks, and 1 million residents have been displaced a. qm. two weeks, and1 million residents have been displaced a.— two weeks, and1 million residents have been displaced a. ok, for now, thank yom — have been displaced a. ok, for now, thank yon we _ have been displaced a. ok, for now, thank you. we will _ have been displaced a. ok, for now, thank you. we will speak _ have been displaced a. ok, for now, thank you. we will speak to - have been displaced a. ok, for now, thank you. we will speak to hugo i thank you. we will speak to hugo again later. late last night, the defence secretaryjohn healey confirmed british forces had been involved in supporting israel. he said... prime minister sir keir starmer has condemned iran's attacks on israel, and offered prime minister benjamin netanyahu the uk's support.
6:10 am
we stand with israel, and we recognise her right to self—defence in the face of this aggression. iran must stop these attacks. together with its proxies, like hezbollah, iran has menaced the middle east for far too long. chaos and destruction brought notjust to israel, but to the people they live amongst in lebanon and beyond. make no mistake — britain stands full square against such violence. we support israel's reasonable demand for the security of its people. 0ur chief political correspondent henry zeffman has been monitoring the government's response, whilst covering the conservative party conference in birmingham. morning to you. just outline the uk's role when a situation like this escalates. h, ., uk's role when a situation like this escalates. ,., ., ., uk's role when a situation like this escalates. h, ., ., ., uk's role when a situation like this escalates. ,., ., ., ., escalates. good morning. you saw the prime minister's _ escalates. good morning. you saw the prime minister's a _ escalates. good morning. you saw the prime minister's a statement. - escalates. good morning. you saw the prime minister's a statement. a - escalates. good morning. you saw the prime minister's a statement. a few. prime minister's a statement. a few hours before, he had been 15 minutes

into a phone call with the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu when iran's barrage of attacks on israel began and that phone call had to be abandoned, of course. a few hours later the prime minister then gave his view on the situation, as you head there, and then late last night that statement from john healey the defence secretary suggesting that the raf had been involved. we have not heard many more or indeed any details from the government about that but it is our understanding at the bbc that as in april, when iran last fired missiles at israel, britishjets april, when iran last fired missiles at israel, british jets were involved in attempting to repel them. i can tell you thatjohn healey is in cyprus this morning, meeting british personnel, including british personnel who might be involved over the coming days in any further evacuation of british citizens in 11 on, something we have spoken about in recent days. the keir starmer, he is in brussels
6:12 am
today. those were meetings including with the president of the european commission, ursula von der leyen, which were supposed to be focused on his attempt to reset relations with europe. i am sure that will still be the focus but i was also expect them to discuss the situation in the middle east. we to discuss the situation in the middle east.— to discuss the situation in the middle east. ~ , l, middle east. we will see how the day unfolds. middle east. we will see how the day unfolds- henry. _ middle east. we will see how the day unfolds. henry, thank _ middle east. we will see how the day unfolds. henry, thank you. _ at least seven people have been killed in a shooting and knife attack in tel aviv. several others were injured in the incident after a gunman opened fire in the jaffa area, alongside an accomplace armed with a knife. police say both attackers were "neutralised" and described the motive as "terror". you can get updates throughout the day on the bbc website. that is the picture at the moment. it isa it is a changing situation, we will stay with it throughout the morning and bbc news will update you across the day. jon has some of the day's other news.
6:13 am
let's start with a health story here at home. a shortage of doctors means the average gp in england is having to care for more than 2,300 patients — a 17% increase compared with nearly a decade ago. bbc analysis of nhs data also found geographical variations — with the most deprived places having the fewest doctors. 0ur health correspondent dominic hughes reports. good morning. sometimes only a face—to—face appointment with a doctor will do. there we go. right, what brings you in today? fortunately for anne — suffering a painful leg after falling — her local gp surgery operates a system known as triage that allows the most urgent cases to be seen promptly. i've not had a problem. and i've never had a problem making an appointment, either. some people say they wait weeks — well, i've never waited weeks. if you're genuinely ill, i feel that they are sympathetic towards it. so i can't say anything bad about it. good afternoon, wilmslow health centre. so what was your query? this practice may be coping,
6:14 am
but many others struggle to offer patients fast appointments — and doctors across the uk have seen growing demand for care. the pressures are intense and, you know, we're looking towards a really, really busy winter. over the years, it's got worse and worse. primary care has been systematically defunded over the past decade. all the efficiencies have been made, and now we're just pedalling faster and faster on that hamster wheel, trying to meet the demand. the pressures that gps face are illustrated by a fresh bbc analysis of nhs data. in september of 2015, each full—time gp in england was responsible forjust under 2,000 patients. but by august of this year, that number had risen to more than 2,300 — that's an increase of 17%. so how's it been this morning? in primary care — the official name for gp practices, pharmacies and community services — there's frustration they can't properly tackle the root causes
6:15 am
of many people's health problems. but if we could really engage people — really engage with them — we could catch them early. we could get them and keep them motivated, bring them back every three months, having blood tests and things — we could make a big difference. ann is happy with the service at this surgery, and gps say with properfunding and more time for patients, they could have a big impact on the health of the nation. dominic hughes, bbc news, cheshire. police are appealing for witnesses after an acid attack outside a school in west london left a 14—year—old girl with potentially life—changing injuries. officers say two teenagers were approached by a man wearing a mask or balaclava, who threw a substance at them before fleeing on an electric scooter. a member of staff at the westminster academy was also injured in the incident. all four conservative leadership contenders will address the final day of the party's conference in birmingham later. robertjenrick, kemi badenoch, tom tugendhat and james cleverly
6:16 am
are each expected to cover a range of issues including immigration, the economy, and public services — before mps whittle the contenders down to the final two next week. more than 150 people are now known to have died as the result of storm helene, which has brought catastrophic flooding to several us states. many are still unaccounted for, with fears the death toll could rise above 600. president biden is expected to visit one of the worst—affected areas later. events in the middle east have dominated the us vice—presidential tv debate between the republican jd vance and his democratic rival tim walz. with just five weeks to go until polling day, the pair clashed over issues including reproductive rights, the economy and immigration. in springfield, ohio, and in communities all across this country,
6:17 am
you've got schools that are overwhelmed, you've got hospitals that are overwhelmed, you've got housing that is totally unaffordable because we brought in millions of illegal immigrants to compete with americans for scarce homes. this issue of continuing to bring this up, of not dealing with it, of blaming migrants for everything... 0n housing, we could talk a little bit about wall street speculators buying up housing and making them less affordable, but it becomes a blame. i and just to clarify for our viewers, | springfield, ohio, does have a large number of haitian migrants who have legal status. - not long to go now until the big us election. a cruise ship which sailed out of belfast yesterday after being delayed for four months is still anchored off the coast of northern ireland. they came so close to going but they have not gone. passengers say they were told the villa vie residence's 0dyssey, which had undergone lengthy repairs, would be returning to port to complete paperwork,

6:21 am
the paper focuses on international condemnation of the attack with the us vowing that there will be "severe consequences" for iran, and sir keir starmer stating that the uk stands with israel. and "hell fire" is how the sun sums up tuesday's missile attack. we will of course be sticking with the story throughout the morning. at 6:30am we will have some reports from inside israel and inside lebanon. we wanted to catch up this morning on the post office scandal and events. the new post office minister has told the bbc he is determined to prioritise getting justice for the victims of the post office horizon it scandal. in an exclusive interview, gareth thomas mp — who took over injuly — said he wished he could commit to a deadline for redress for all victims, but that it would be difficult. tim muffett reports. one of the most widespread miscarriages ofjustice in uk history.
6:22 am
the post office scandal has led to wrongful prosecutions and wrecked lives. it prompted a hit tv drama, and a knighthood for the man who inspired it — sir alan bates. the three—year public inquiry into faulty horizon software has now entered its final phase, and injuly a new post office minister was appointed. mr thomas, thank you very much for your time. you're a few months into yourjob so far — how are you finding it? um, this is the single biggest issue in my responsibilities. it's the one that i am determined to give most priority to, because there are so many people still to have a sense ofjustice restored to them. campaigners have criticised the time it's taken for all victims of the scandal to receive financial redress. i say make a firm commitment to ensure that this is finished by the end of march next year.
6:23 am
i mean, i've spoken to a number of the experts that have been involved — they're legal experts — and they seem to think that there's no reason why this couldn't be complete and out of the way by march next year. we've been speaking to postmasters who have been caught up in it, and they knew that we were speaking to you. sir alan bates has asked for the government to set a clear deadline of next march — ie six months�* time — to pay redress to all the post office scandal victims. can you commit to that? well, i agree with sir alan that there hasn't been fast enough progress. i think the truth is, looking back, it wasn't until the drama hit our tv screens that action really was stepped up. we're trying to sort out some of the practicalities. i wish i could commit to sir alan's timeframe. i think it will be difficult to do that. i think we will be... we will have made substantial progress by next summer. ok, so no commitment
6:24 am
for next march, then. he says — sir alan says — that his group will head back to court if you don't meet the deadline. so you think it's going to come to more legal action? well, i think we will make substantial progress, and i hope sir alan will see that progress quickly, because i agree with him that we need to make faster progress. we're trying to unblock the blockages and speed up the process of compensation. one of the main grievances of many of the subpostmasters is the amount of money and time that has been spent on lawyers. do you know how much has been spent so far? i don't have the exact sums to hand right now. it's £265 million from 2014 to 202k. jo hamilton, a subpostmaster, says if money's so tight, why do the government continue to spend more on lawyers rather than the post office victims, and just settle the claims fairly? well, i do want to settle the claims fairly. that's why we're accelerating the offer of £75,000 — a fixed sum — to as many subpostmasters who want to go down that route. it's why we've made a clear offer
6:25 am
of £600,000 to those who've had their convictions overturned, and it's why those payments are being made. based on what you've heard and seen from the horizon inquiry, do you believe criminal charges should now be brought? well, i'm not going to comment on criminal charges at this point. i think we need to see what sir williams�* inquiry brings forward. i have to say, i have been deeply concerned by some of what's come out in the inquiry, and there will clearly be a whole range of steps for government to take — to take after that inquiry, as well. you must have an opinion, though. well, i do have an opinion, but i'm not a lawyer, and so i don't think — as someone who's not a lawyer — i should jump to a conclusion. but in april, speaking on bbc breakfast, gareth thomas' predecessor as post office minister, conservative mp kevin hollinrake — who isn't a lawyer either — said this.
6:26 am
people should be prosecuted. that's my view and i think you and other people i've spoken to, i certainly feel people who are within the post office and possibly further afield should go to jail. do you agree with him? if it's appropriate that criminal prosecution takes place, then absolutely it should take place. it's for the police to make that judgement, not for me as a minister to make thatjudgement. but if the police think it's appropriate, then absolutely it should take place. janet skinner — sub—postmistress — she asks, why is the post office still in control of the compensation payout? she went to prison, her conviction was quashed, and she says the money that's been offered to her is laughable. she's about to have her fifth medical to try and get what she believes she is owed. there are four compensation schemes in place, two of which the government runs and two of which the post office runs.
6:27 am
i have looked at whether we should just start afresh, but that would lead to further delays in getting money out through the door. we are looking at setting up an appeal system for one of the schemes that the post office runs — the horizon shortfall scheme — which i believe will help to unblock and speed up payments to those who've been affected. at the national television awards last month, mr bates vs the post office picked up three awards, including best new drama. but there were sharp words for the government from one campaigner. i went to westminsterl a couple of weeks back and saw the new minister. and trust me, nothing has changed. shouting. what does it say about the uk that an itv drama has to happen in order for this to receive the widespread attention which it so clearly deserves — that that's what it takes to get everyone talking about this? well, i think there are... i think we should also focus on some of the remarkable people who've
6:28 am
campaigned for as long as they have done, like siralan, like jo hamilton. james arbuthnot and kevan jones in parliament have done a remarkablejob, as well, in keeping the previous government's feet to the fire. and i'm sure they'll hold my feet and the government's feet to the fire going forward. and i... and i welcome that pressure. that was the post office minister gareth thomas mp speaking to our reporter tim muffett. it goes on. later we will be speaking tojo. it goes on. later we will be speaking to jo.— it goes on. later we will be speaking to jo. it goes on. later we will be seakin tojo. . ., ., , , ,, speaking to jo. what does she think ofthat speaking to jo. what does she think of that interview? _ speaking to jo. what does she think of that interview? we _ speaking to jo. what does she think of that interview? we will _ speaking to jo. what does she think of that interview? we will find - speaking to jo. what does she think of that interview? we will find out l of that interview? we will find out later. still to come on breakfast... it's the heart—warming tale of two teenage boys who fall in love — before 7.00, we'll get exclusive access behind the scenes of the new series of netflix hit heartstopper, ahead of its release tomorrow. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are.
6:29 am
a very good morning from bbc london. i'm alice salfield. police are appealing for any potential dashcam footage after an acid attack outside a school in west london left a 14—year—old girl with potentially life—changing injuries. it happened outside westminster academy in westbourne park on monday afternoon. the substance hit a 16—year—old boy as well and a member of staff who tried to help was also taken to hospital. the met believe the man approached the two teenagers on an e—scooter. businesses in euston that were demolished to make way for the high speed rail link say they're still waiting for compensation. the owners of the bree louise pub lost their home and business six years ago and have been fighting for compensation since. hs2 says it believes it has made a fair offer and is continuing to try and reach an agreement but the owners says the process has been devastating. health, my mental health, my wife's the same. stress, anxiety, depression.
6:30 am

including against slovan bratislava in th teams match including against slovan bratislava in th teams in atch including against slovan bratislava in th teams in atc competition. and best teams in the competition. and we'll do that. so it's nothing new for us. hayden hackney scored the crucial goal as middlesbrough climb the championship table. they beat the then league leaders west brom 1—0, hackney scoring to take all three points for boro as the baggies slipped to a second defeat in a row leaving them third in the table with boro up to sixth. leeds united are just three points off top spot after being held to a 1—1 draw against norwich city at carrow road. josh sargent�*s penalty opened the scoring for the hosts but that was cancelled out by belgian winger largie ramazani's equaliser. and we've been following ben ainslie's progress in his attempts to secure a spot in sailing's america's cup final. their opposite boat italy's luna rossa team recovered from a high—speed nosedive during yesterday's first race against ineos britannia. you can see the water they took on. the teams were level going into day four of the six—day final but the italians had to concede the first race as they made repairs,

6:46 am
building in from the north but still an area of low pressure close by to the south—east which has produced the south—east which has produced the rain, and it is producing cloud and showers today, and around it brisk north—easterly wind. so here it will feel chilly in the south—eastern quarter. it will brighten up across the rest of england and wales, a beautiful day across northern ireland and scotland and temperatures 13 to 17 degrees. heading into the evening and overnight, there will still be a few showers coming in on the wind across the south—east but a lot of clear skies and like this morning mist and fog forming in the north of scotland, and temperatures will fall away under the clear skies. we could see close to freezing in sheltered glens but generally across the board it will be a chilly night than it has been in recent nights. into tomorrow, the high—pressure moves
6:47 am
south, plonking itself across as meaning settled conditions. the next system is in the wings coming our way for the weekend. the mist and fog will be slow to clear then a lot of dry weather across the board, sunshine around and there where the cloud bubbling up through the course of the day. the winds lighter but a brisk breeze towards the west. temperatures, 13 in the north to 16 in the south. as we head towards the rest of the week, the high—pressure edges towards the north sea, pushing eastwards, allowing the low pressure to come into west. mist and fog to start the day and slow to clear, dry weather and sunshine but you can also see the cloud building across northern ireland and western scotland, the wind strengthening, and we will see some patchy rain moving in here as well. temperatures, once again 13 in the
6:48 am
north to 16 or 17 as we pushed on towards the south. at the weekend, the weather front makes progress eastwards during saturday, central and eastern areas could stay dry for and eastern areas could stay dry for a lot of the day but eventually it makes it across us all and with it we will have wet and windy weather at times. but we will have wet and windy weather at times. �* ., .., , , , at times. but not consistently, thins at times. but not consistently, things are _ at times. but not consistently, things are looking _ at times. but not consistently, things are looking up! - at times. but not consistently, things are looking up! thank . at times. but not consistently, i things are looking up! thank you, carol. it's the heart—warming coming—of—age netflix hit which follows the story of two teenage schoolboys as they fall in love, and now heartstopper is back for a third series. the latest instalment promises thought provoking storylines alongside its regular celebration of lgbtq+ relationships. our correspondent lauren moss has been on set for an exclusive behind the scenes preview. hey, charlie. heartstopper is the story of two boys who meet at a secondary school in kent.
6:49 am
and they fall in love. and it's, yeah, their love story. hi. it's a really fantastic season of heartstopper. it's a more mature season, and the characters are growing up. we're just heading into set now where they're recording one of the episodes of season three. shh! you can see it on the monitor here, a really emotional scene betweenjoe and kit�*s characters, charlie and nick, talking about some of the really difficult themes that will be coming up in season three. i hate feeling like this. i don't know what to do now. thank you, camera set and action. what's that like to prepare for for those sorts of scenes? i think it's all about authenticity and trying to make your portrayal of a topic that is quite intense and also quite close to people's hearts as true as possible.
6:50 am
take a five minute break, all right, charlie. - i think it's definitely a really wonderful thing that we're in a time in the world where we can make a show like heartstopper, and just hopefully it leads the way for more queer stories to be told. so we can say what we do, right? yeah. ok, amazing. so, i mean, i have sex for the first time, that's great. that's like, you know, i mean, it may not be appropriate, but it's real and it's just beautiful. it's nice to have that representation of, like, a trans person being able to have those sorts of relationships. i think it's so important that, you know, growing up, you get to see at least somebody that you can relate to on screen. the way heartstopper is, is very casual about its representation. it's very, we're here, it's normal, its human, it's not shocking, it's not brave, it's not inspirational. it's just really human
6:51 am
and really natural. quiet down, please, boys. the end of season two ended at the start of something for your characters. what can we see more of, do you think, in season three? what can you tell us? who knows? i would say, things progress as they should naturally. the start of something special? i'd like to think so, yeah. i think there's, i think they have a really nice, um... i think they bring out the best in each other, and, like, they sort of borrow qualities from one another that's kind of... do you think that that reflects the actors in real life? no, no, no, i've tried to teach him... because that's not what you were saying earlier, about how you learnt so much from me, you feel like you developed. i don't remember saying that. so who's that? it's michael. met tori a few months ago. is he tori's boyfriend? it feels good, it feels good to be back. what can we expect to see, what can you tell us? passion, love, um...
6:52 am
growth, maturity and acceptance. work! how important is it to to play this character? i really felt passionately about doing a lot of research and making sure that i was doing justice to this community of people because, like you say, there's been sort of nothing like this on tv before. i want to tell nick that i love him. what's it like kissing your friend on camera? when you're sort of shooting for, like, 7.5 hours, as we did last time, which was a slightly steamier scene, it is like, this is absolutely absurd. it,s so weird. it's like, why, like, what is myjob? but, you know, it's... it is what it is. it is. we love it, we love it, don't we, joe? we love it, yeah.
6:53 am
that looks lovely! i have not watched _ that looks lovely! i have not watched any of that but i will now io watched any of that but i will now go to _ watched any of that but i will now go to series one and catch up. binge it. lauren moss with that report, and you can watch series three of heartstopper on netflix from tomorrow. i'm always late to the party! i know ou are i'm always late to the party! i know you are not — i'm always late to the party! i know you are not late _ i'm always late to the party! i know you are not late to _ i'm always late to the party! i know you are not late to getting - i'm always late to the party! i know you are not late to getting a - you are not late to getting a bargain. you are not late to getting a barain. ., ., , ., bargain. never, i love a yellow label. many shoppers may not notice exactly how prices are labelled in supermarkets, but it is beginning to change. electronic labels are becoming more common, but what does that mean for the yellow sticker? so how will we get the bargains? i am panicking, ben! i can - so how will we get the bargains? i am panicking, ben! i can tell! - we're all used to those stickers which are the sign of a possible bargain. shoppers might have been using their
6:54 am
elbows to get past you, nina! for years now supermarkets have displayed product prices on the shelf using physically printed cards, but a few shoppers will have noticed these by now. not paper but a digital price display. they can be found in walmarts and other supermarkets in the us, in most european countries and now here in the uk. aldi began using the electronic price tags back in 2021. and rival discount retailer lidl brought them in to all stores earlier this year. meanwhile, marks and spencer and morrisons confirmed they are trialling the technology in a limited number of stores, as is iceland. but why? aldi say it's to free up staff and improve customer service. there has been concern that the new technology will allow supermarkets to use so—called dynamic pricing, where the cost of products is altered throughout the day. walmart in the us and iceland here in the uk have denied using it. there's also speculation
6:55 am
the familiar yellow label discount might one day be a thing of the past as prices can be automatically adjusted rather than requiring staff to change the bar code with a sticker. but aldi, lidl, co—op, morrisons, marks and spencer and waitrose have all told us they will retain individual physical discount labels, mainly yellow but red in aldi's case and orange in lidl�*s. which brings us to the question, why do we love hunting for a yellow label so much? we are a country obsessed with getting a bargain, and never is there ever more excitement when i post an amazing yellow sticker bargain on my social media. i can guarantee it'll, like, be spread to thousands of people. like, the time i got a 10p carrot cake, i can't tell you how much people loved it. is it going to end?
6:56 am
supermarkets are always, you know, updating their technology to, you know, reduce waste and have less yellow sticker products there so they sell more at full price, but they're never going to get it exactly right. changing technology and the impact it has on our shopping habits. later this morning i will share with you a little bit of personal advice, that the supermarkets don't want me to share when it comes to yellow labels and discounts, i will share it later. ., ., , ~ later. you cannot tease us like that! i later. you cannot tease us like that! i want — later. you cannot tease us like that! i want to _ later. you cannot tease us like that! i want to know _ later. you cannot tease us like that! i want to know where - later. you cannot tease us like | that! i want to know where she later. you cannot tease us like - that! i want to know where she got her carrot cake for ten p. it’s that! i want to know where she got her carrot cake for ten p.— her carrot cake for ten p. it's a bade her carrot cake for ten p. it's a badge of _ her carrot cake for ten p. it's a badge of honour, _ her carrot cake for ten p. it's a badge of honour, the - her carrot cake for ten p. it's a badge of honour, the yellow. her carrot cake for ten p. it's a badge of honour, the yellow sticker. sometimes you end up buying things you don't want or need and they sit in the freezer for three years because it's cheap. lode in the freezer for three years because it's cheap.— in the freezer for three years because it's cheap. we will have the latest from — because it's cheap. we will have the latest from the _ because it's cheap. we will have the latest from the middle _ because it's cheap. we will have the latest from the middle east - because it's cheap. we will have the latest from the middle east at - because it's cheap. we will have the latest from the middle east at the l latest from the middle east at the top of the hour.

7:00 am
should be largely dry, but those showers can't be ruled out. temperatures tomorrow 17 celsius, the wind that little bit lighter. similar conditions for friday, plenty of sunshine and for saturday but the wind strengthens on saturday and we will see rain overnight and heading into sunday. that's it — you can get lots more on our website and on the bbc news app. bye— bye. good morning, welcome to breakfast withjon kay and nina warhurst. our headlines today. air-raid siren, explosions. israel says iran will pay after its massive missile attack — the israeli prime minister warns of grave consequences. confirmation that british forces were involved in supporting israel — the prime minister says the middle east is "on the brink". we stand with israel,

7:02 am
the israeli prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, says iran will pay a "terrible price" for launching a barrage of missiles towards sites across israel. tehran said it had concluded its military action, but warned of further attacks if israel retaliated. around 180 missiles were fired across large parts of israel, including jerusalem and tel aviv. most were intercepted. it's been confirmed that british troops were involved in supporting israel. in a statement last night, prime minister keir starmer warned that the middle east is now "on the brink". we'll speak to our correspondents across the region throughout the morning, and gauging political reaction, as well, but first with the latest from jerusalem, jon donnison reports. with the latest from jerusalem, air-raid siren. with the latest from jerusalem, israel was warned it was coming. with the latest from jerusalem, but this was iran's revenge. with the latest from jerusalem, almost 200 ballistic missiles raining in across the country.
7:03 am
explosions. 0k. ok, guys, we got to get off the roof. these are coming down right next to us here. as people ran for shelter, with the iranian missiles travelling some 2,000km in only around 12 minutes, israel's defence system was at full stretch. the israeli prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, said iran would pay a terrible price. translation: iran made a big mistake tonight, - and it will pay for it. the regime in iran does not understand our determination to defend ourselves, and our determination to retaliate against our enemies. we will stand by the rule we established — whoever attacks us, we will attack them. this restaurant in tel aviv took a direct hit. and this was a school in central israel. the us said it helped in shooting
7:04 am
down some of the missiles — its intelligence agencies had alerted israel to an imminent attack. and last night, president biden said they were fully supportive of israel. based on what we now know, the attack appears to have been defeated and ineffective, and this is testament to israeli military capability and us military. and also a testament to intensive planning between the united states and israel, to anticipate and defend against the brazen attack we expected. make no mistake — the united states is fully, fully, fully supportive of israel. in gaza last night, as iran pounded israel, there were celebrations — as there were in the iranian capital, too. iran had vowed vengeance after israel assassinated hassan nasrallah — the leader of the iranian—backed lebanese militia hezbollah —

reports of fatalities. and this is the view ofjerusalem this morning — a city that was also targeted, as missiles lit up the night sky. all quiet now. people ran to their shelters. we can speak now to our middle east correspondent yolande knell who's injerusalem. we have had the military intersection of those missiles but it must be a tense time on the ground. —— intersection. it must be a tense time on the ground. -- intersection. emergency at restrictions _ ground. -- intersection. emergency at restrictions have _ ground. -- intersection. emergency at restrictions have been _ ground. -- intersection. emergency at restrictions have been eased - at restrictions have been eased across much of israel but this is still a moment that is really anxious for people, especially as many get ready for the jewish anxious for people, especially as many get ready for thejewish new year holiday. we had six months ago another attack by iran on israel, but this time there was much less morning. the entire population of
7:07 am
israel was basically told to get into bomb shelters or at the nearest safe place and you can see it this morning it is much quieter on the streets, partly because of the holidays but also there is real evidence of anxiety. most of those missiles were intercepted, the israeli military have talked about how there were isolated impacts only and this morning we have been getting pictures of some of the creators that have been left including that one close to a school, nearto including that one close to a school, near to a beach in tel aviv, as well. one palestinian man from gaza who was living in the occupied west bank injericho is the only person we know about to have been killed. reports say this morning that israel will launch a significant retaliation against iran within days. a lot of the speculation in the media is about a possible target list with iran at�*s nuclear facilities, possible target list with iran at�*s nuclearfacilities, its oil production sites being talked about. we have really been saying for one

7:10 am
still has thousands of fighters, experienced fighters, who know the area of the country really well, it is a hezbollah stronghold in the south. hezbollah has spent years building a very solid infrastructure including with underground tunnels, so there is the fear here that there could be heavy clashes between hezbollah fighters and israeli troops as the israelis go ahead with this invasion in the south. for troops as the israelis go ahead with this invasion in the south.— this invasion in the south. for now, huo, this invasion in the south. for now, hugo. thank _ this invasion in the south. for now, hugo. thank you- — late last night, the defence secretaryjohn healey confirmed the uk had been involved in supporting israel as it came under attack from iran. he said... prime minister sir keir starmer has condemned iran's attacks on israel — and offered prime minister benjamin netanyahu the uk's support.
7:11 am
we stand with israel, and we recognise her right to self—defence in the face of this aggression. iran must stop these attacks. together with its proxies, like hezbollah, iran has menaced the middle east for far too long. chaos and destruction brought notjust to israel, but to the people they live amongst in lebanon and beyond. make no mistake — britain stands full square against such violence. we support israel's reasonable demand for the security of its people. our chief political correspondent henry zeffman has been monitoring the government's response, whilst covering the conservative party conference in birmingham. good morning to you. people are waking up this morning we'll be hearing the prime minister at�*s words and wondering if the situation intensifies in the middle east, what will that mean for the uk? the prime

7:15 am
discharged. their injuries were less severe. two police officers were also treated after they came to help and reported feeling unwell. in terms of the investigation, no arrests at this stage but police haveissued arrests at this stage but police have issued a description of the person they are looking for. a tall, slim, black male wearing dark clothing but he had his face covered with either a mask or a balaclava and because this happened at a really busy time along a main road, police are asking for anyone who may have had dash cam footage to come forward. understandably, yesterday, the school was closed. in a statement the principal said it was a distressing incident and that they are supporting the families and the relatives but the school will reopen today with all safety measures in place and because there are so many questions and concerns, counsellors and support staff will also be available on site.— and support staff will also be available on site. a shortage of doctors means the average gp in england is having to care for more than 2,300 patients — a 17% increase compared with nearly a decade ago. bbc analysis of nhs data also found

7:21 am
the past decade has found inmates are spending very little time in the classroom — and, because of the need to keep some boys apart, most of their days alone in their cells. children should have as close to a full—time education as possible — ideally at least 15 hours, but in the worst—case example, we've seen children who have been locked up for the best part of 23 hours in one day, and they only get one hour, or less than one hour, out of their cell. and too often my staff need counselling when they leave because what they see is so upsetting. this is feltham young offenders institution in west london — chastised previously for its high levels of violence and poor conditions. and this report adds to those criticisms. ofsted says, when young boys eventually do get into prison classrooms here and at other institutions, the standard of learning is poor. it says some prisoners who can't read are expected to sit gcse papers, while high achievers are given activities such as word
7:22 am
searches and colouring in. his majesty's inspector of prisons says more than 60% of children reoffend within a year of their release — an enormous cost to the taxpayer, but also to their communities and families. it is absolutely incumbent on our yoi system to reduce that reoffending rate, and one of the critical ways of doing that is to make sure that children are getting a proper, decent education. lorenzo alara was 19 when he was jailed at a young offenders facility for drugs offences. he wasn't held at one of the institutions highlighted in the ofsted report, but says lacklustre education for young prisoners is systemic. when i went there, there was a musical style i wanted to do. i wanted to do this music course, but there was no teacher for the music at the time. so then i was like, "oh, i don't really want to do anything else." so ijust kind of likejust... do you know what i mean? like, some guys didn't go to school, some guys didn't like school, but if you can teach them things that they're actually passionate
7:23 am
about, then it can put them on the right path to work, you know? so the system needs to be more adaptable to the needs and interests of the prisoners. yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. and itjust needs to be more engaging because itjust... itjust feels like brainrot sometimes — itjust feels like you're there to pass the time. you don't really care what you're doing. then you go back — do you get what i mean? so, yeah, it doesn't feel... i didn't feel educated. ofsted and the prisons inspector say appropriately qualified and competent teaching staff should be recruited, young offenders' attendance at education should be prioritised, and the amount of time kept in isolation should be significantly reduced — all to put a stop to the endless cycle of re—offending. the ministry ofjustice says the government has inherited a criminaljustice system in crisis, and is determined to tackle these challenges head—on. nickjohnson, bbc news. tier blundell is a trustee at the charity band of brothers, and works with those living

7:31 am
and damp start this morning, the outbreaks of rain will turn more showery and eventually we will get some brighter spells and some sunny spells. as we head through the next few days, it is turning a little drier. it's quite a breezy day today, we've got a north—easterly breeze blowing these showers through, but the cloud should start to break up into the afternoon, so some brighter spells, even some sunny spells and temperatures getting up to 17 celsius. high pressure builds overnight tonight so things start to settle down. the windfalls light, any showers will fade. and under the clearer spells, we mightjust get one or two mist patches developing. minimum temperature, chillier than last night. we are looking at seven celsius. but a bright start tomorrow morning. plenty of sunshine around for thursday, high pressure with us. we will perhaps see one or two showers but it should be largely dry, but those showers can't be ruled out. temperatures tomorrow 17 celsius, the wind that little bit lighter. similar conditions for friday, plenty of sunshine and for saturday but the wind strengthens on saturday and we will see rain overnight and heading into sunday.
7:32 am
there's lots more on our website including david beckham and prince william talking about teaming up to fundraise for the london air ambulance. bye— bye. good morning, welcome to breakfast. let's return to our main story. israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu says iran has made "a big mistake" after tehran launched an intense missile attack on his country. the israeli defense forces said around 180 missiles were aimed towards israel last night including its largest cities, tel aviv, and jerusalem. sirens could be heard across tel aviv last night as a barrage of ballistic missiles rained on the city. the israeli army says most were intercepted, and reported no deaths. in an address last night, mr netanyahu said iran would pay for its actions. translation: the regime in iran does not understand our determination -
7:33 am
to defend ourselves and our determination to retaliate against our enemies. we will stand by the rule we established. whoever attacks us, we will attack them. then came confirmation that british forces were also involved yesterday just as they were when iran launched a similar attack on israel in april. the prime minister, sir keir starmer, condemned iran's actions. in all of the calls i've been making with world leaders, i have expressed my concern that the region is on the brink and there is a high risk of miscalculation and therefore, we have to find a route to de—escalate on all fronts. and in the end, the only solution here is a political solution so my calls have been about the importance of creating space and the conditions for that de—escalation. tehran's attack came after israeli
7:34 am
troops on the border launched a ground operation in southern lebanon, against hezbollah, which is designated as a terrorist organisation by many western governments, including the uk. and late last night, the israeli army said it hit what it called terrorist targets in beirut�*s southern suburbs after warning residents in the area there to evacuate. our middle east correspondent lucy williamson sent this report. in northern israel, it was clear this attack was different. people well used to hezbollah's rocket attacks, tonight glued to the sky, to their phones. israel's air defences tackling iranian missiles. wave after wave. on the ground along this northern border, a new generation is fighting an old and stubborn war.
7:35 am
a limited, targeted ground incursion into lebanon, the army says, to destroy hezbollah tunnels and allow israel's northern residents to return home. four more reserve divisions were called up. you can see the evidence of israel's ground incursion here, a few miles from the border. yesterday, there were dozens of tanks lined up in these fields. now, almost the entire fighting force is gone, and several more armoured vehicles are preparing to move. a military official briefed journalists that special forces had been operating just inside lebanon for the past 11 months, destroying tunnels. they showed us the weapons they'd found. with hezbollah weakened, i asked a spokesman about the appetite to push the group further north. we are acting with a plan to carry out operations in a limited,
7:36 am
targeted way, close, close by to the israeli border between israel and lebanon, making sure we remove these immediate threats. i asked if that plan could change. we have many plans on the table. at the moment, we are focusing on removing the immediate threats from close by to the israeli border. in border towns like kiryat shmona, emptied a year ago by fears of a hamas style attack, there's strong support for israel's ground invasion. translation: i am certain that this ground manoeuvre will bring - the residents back safely and they think it is very, very needed. and that's the answer. that's exactly what we wanted. maybe a bit too late, but better late than never. a day into israel's invasion, its forces have so far met little resistance on the ground. but hezbollah remains a powerful enemy with an even more powerful backer. the risks of this incursion have
7:37 am
not yet fully emerged. but in the year since the hamas attacks, israel's risk appetite has grown. lucy williamson, bbc news, on the israel—lebanon border. the sunday times columnist mark urbanjoins us now. good morning, thank you for your time this morning. the big question this morning is where we go from here. , ., , , , . ., here. oh, my lord. this is such a complicated _ here. oh, my lord. this is such a complicated and _ here. oh, my lord. this is such a complicated and difficult - here. oh, my lord. this is such a | complicated and difficult situation now. as you heard in that report, there is ground action now ongoing in lebanon, and still bombing in lebanon. there is still fighting going on in gaza, or air strikes happening in gaza. and then you have got this bigger picture then, this regional thing between iran and israel now. it's pretty clear listening to benjamin netanyahu's statement overnight, where he essentially told the israeli public to prepare for a long and difficult
7:38 am
struggle, that there will be a response, but there is a very broad range of things they could do. that's in response to that iranian missile attack. and we don't really know, they are relying on the element to cloak what they are doing until they make a decision. in april, when iran fired missiles and cruise missiles at israel, they hit back rather symbolically, theyjust back rather symbolically, they just took back rather symbolically, theyjust took out a radar station. whereas of course, i would took out a radar station. whereas of course, iwould imagine took out a radar station. whereas of course, i would imagine the pressure now there is to do something much bigger in response to last night's attack. , ,., , bigger in response to last night's attack. , , ~ , ., , bigger in response to last night's attack. , a attack. the response in april as you sa did attack. the response in april as you say did feel — attack. the response in april as you say did feel measured, _ attack. the response in april as you say did feel measured, it _ attack. the response in april as you say did feel measured, it was - attack. the response in april as you say did feel measured, it was about flexing muscle and showing that they were willing to attack. this time round, is your sense that it would be much more significant than that? well, you have got people, for example, naftali bennett, the former israeli prime minister, talking about hitting israeli nuclear facilities. obviously that would be
7:39 am
a very big step. the iranians themselves had suggested that last night, they hit military targets. i think basically that is true, they were certainly aiming for israeli air bases and headquarters of the israeli secret service, but if there were broader attacks on iran in response, that they would then target israeli infrastructure by which i guess they mean things like power stations or and oil refineries. that's where the escalation has the potential to go. to actually hit nuclear facilities, everybody has always understood that would be a hard thing to do because a lot of them are deep underground, dispersed and protected in various ways. it would be a big challenge. a lot of the assumption regionally before the events of the past year was that if it was going to happen, it would have to be jointly done by the united states and israel. and if you listen to the kind of thing is thatjo biden said since this tack and the americans have said, we
7:40 am
really don't get the sense that the americans are up for some kind of big retaliatory strike alongside the israelis on iran. that might put a limitation on what the israelis attempted to do. and of course you have got the behind—the—scenes diplomatic urgings as we were hearing from keir starmer there, to try to put a lid on it. so it's a tricky situation, they will feel obliged to respond somehow militarily, but we just don't really know at what level. ihlnd militarily, but we just don't really know at what level.— militarily, but we just don't really know at what level. and you touched on in there. — know at what level. and you touched on in there, where _ know at what level. and you touched on in there, where does _ know at what level. and you touched on in there, where does that - know at what level. and you touched on in there, where does that leave . on in there, where does that leave the uk? we had sir keir starmer the prime minister saying that israel has the right to defend itself, how far will the uk walk with israel, depending on the significance of the retaliation? ~ ., , ., retaliation? well, there was a statement _ retaliation? well, there was a statement overnight - retaliation? well, there was a statement overnight from - retaliation? well, there was a statement overnight from the | statement overnight from the ministry of defence saying, implying that uk forces had been involved in
7:41 am
trying to defend israel from this missile attack. it's not clear how though. and in what way the uk could help. there are some types of weapons that the iranians could fire at the israelis and did in april, for example, like drones and cruise missiles, where having uk fighters overjordan like fighterjets, they could shoot them down. the uk has a very limited ability to help with the attack like we saw last night, the attack like we saw last night, the only thing the uk has is a type of warship that can engage incoming missiles of that kind. we don't know if it is in the area but we suspect it is not. it's an open question at the moment whether the uk could participate in a meaningful way. this becomes a with different salvos of missiles and methods of attack,

7:44 am
beaten 7—1 by borussia dortmund. they have been on a brilliant run, winning nine nine games in a row, including against slovan bratislava in their first match in the competition, but that run is over, as they were swept aside following a hat—trick for karim adeyami. a special night awaits for aston villa supporters as it does these two, england strikers harry kane and ollie watkins go head to head with bayern munich the visitors to villa park tonight in what is a repeat of that famous 1982 european cup final, with villa back in the competition after a long wait. everyone is fighting for a position on the pitch, so, obviously, i want to be the man to play. everyone is, but, yeah, we have a good relationship, we talk, when i'm in the camp i speak to him. so there is no bad animosity or anything like that. and i'm doing all i can to be
7:45 am
on the pitch and so is he. sunderland moved to the top of the championship last night thanks to a 2—0 win over derby at the stadium of light. their return to the summit was made possible after the then league leaders west brom lost 1—0 to middlesbrough with hayden hackney scoring to take all three points for boro as the baggies slipped to a second defeat in a row leaving them third in the table also behind burnley who beat plymouth 1—0. when the new saints stride out in florence tomorrow they'll become the first welsh league side to embark on a european group stage campaign. the club face italian giants fiorentina, who have reached the final of the competition for the past two years. but even though the challenge will be tough, it marks a remarkable rise through the lower divsions of welsh football. # the saints are coming, the saints... new territory for the new saints. from playing bala town to facing
7:46 am
italian giants fiorentina. massive game, really looking forward to it. if we can get in their half, we're looking good. how do you feel about playing one of the biggest teams in europe? well, it's exciting, isn't it? i mean, for a town like oswestry it's, yeah, it's great. we've seen more european football here now than i've seen at everton and i've been an everton fan since 1957. it is a remarkable story for a club that's roots lie in the amateur leagues of welsh football, starting here in the village of llansantffraid in 1957, before rising through the divisions and joining with oswestry town in 2003, becoming the new saints. it means a lot to us on a number of fronts, you know. our league has obviously struggled to get the recognition i think it deserves. as you know, the farmers league, as described by your pundit gary lineker.
7:47 am
delight for a club of their size who were watching the conference league draw closely. from a big club point of view, you know, it was chelsea, there was fiorentina and there was real betis. and i think we wanted one of them away from home, was what we really wanted. and obviously we've got fiorentina. fiorentina's status grew with british fans here in the �*90s, when their matches were shown on the channel 4 show football italia. you know, growing up with gazetta football, you know, on channel 4 and huge, you know, i was very fortunate to play with paul gascoigne, massive fan, from the same area. and obviously when he went to lazio and, you know, the italian scene exploded in england. it's probably more so about my era of watching football. and this is a team that's playing juventus, inter milan. how does it fit, is it sort of slightly crazy that you're going up against them? yeah, it is. you know, they've got some unbelievable players there. you know, they've got david de gea in goal as well, a household name as a goalkeeper. and, yeah, we're expecting a tough
7:48 am
test but it's definitely one that we're going to enjoy. fancy scoring against david de gea? iwouldn't mind it, yeah! # the saints are coming. that's a real dream. you know, these are the things which kids annuals were made out back in the day. it's roy of the rovers. it's, you know, you tell me how many clubs have come from either the amateur league as a village or a club that had been bankrupt for 20 odd years, and you know, where they'd managed to put the two together and developed a story that's actually got them right onto the pinnacle of european football. so this is our thousand litre pot column hybrid still. yeah. and here at this local distillery they're bottling the team's success. so what's harder, building a winning team or making a successful gin? definitely it's harder making a successful gin. is it? yeah, because i've done it. i'll put that to the manager. you put it to the manager and the chairman! yes! and have produced something special to mark this historic moment.
7:49 am
we decided to create this particular product to recognise that achievement in a welsh league club, in the welsh league system, achieving this for the very first time ever. so how many bottles of that will be drunk if they beat fiorentina? i never say that for obvious reasons. does it taste good? it tastes perfect. i suppose we should toast to the next step, to europe. the next step. to europe. good luck against fiorentina. thank you. very nice indeed. what was it about that precise location that appealed to, john? they had to drag me out of there on the floor. someone has got to do it. it shows how everyone is rallying around the team, they are making bottles of gin to mark the occasion. remarkable when you think about how the team started out, rising through the team started out, rising through the divisions, and now they go from playing the likes of faletau to curing tina tomorrow night. best of
