hello. we start in the middle east and isreal�*s military claims to have killed 15 hezbollah members in the south of lebanon. the idf has released a statement saying it struck 200 hezbollah targets overnight. meanwhile, at least seven people have been killed in an israeli airstrike in the heart of beirut. it was on a hezbollah—affiliated medical centre in a residential building. our correspondent in beirut says the victims were all medics. here are live pictures showing smoke filling the skyline of the lebanese capital. the idf says it has carried out what it calls precise strikes on a building that is used by hezbollah in sourthern lebanon. in its latest release, the idf says hezbollah terrorists were operating in the building and large quantities of hezbollah weapons were stored there. as the world focuses on the conflict between israel

and hezbollah, the war in gaza continues, with significant civilian casualties. the bbc has been examining a fatal air strike on 21st september on a school in gaza city housing displaced people, finding it killed multiple children in order to target one local hamas figure. daniel de simone reports. gaza remains the epicentre of this war where children pay for the deadly feuds of adults. translation: what have we done as children? - we wake up and go to sleep terrified. at least protect the schools. we don't have schools or homes. where do we go? this former school in gaza city, housing amal and other displaced people, was hit by an israeli air strike on 21st september. israel's military says it was a precise strike on terrorists in a hamas command and control centre. the hamas—run authorities say

it killed 22 people, including 13 children and six women. huda alhadad lost two children. muhammad was 13. hanan, i2. translation: here was my - daughter, my dearest, my heart. i went down searching for her. my heart told me she was there and i told them, "my daughter is here, under this pile." targeting hamas but at what cost? we have been told one of the 22 killed was a local hamas figure. israel's military says steps were taken to mitigate the risk of harming civilians and that hamas violates international law by operating from within civilian buildings. since the 21st september air strike, fatal strikes targeting hamas have continued to hit former schools housing displaced families.

according to unicef, more than 50% of schools used as shelters in gaza have been directly hit during the current conflict. in this cruel war, pity is as elusive as peace. daniel de simone, bbc news, jerusalem. thousands of newborn babies in england will be screened for genetic conditions as part of an nhs study which doctors say could be life—changing for families. the research will speed up the diagnosis of more than 200 rare diseases, so that children can be treated sooner. 13 hospitals in england have begun offering the test. our medical editor fergus walsh reports. just a day old. amelia is among the first babies to have their entire genetic code sequenced to look for rare diseases. her mum didn't hesitate when offered the test at birmingham women's hospital. it was a no brainer

because amelia will be tested for 200 different genetic conditions, so she will benefit but also will contribute to the wider research population, which will affect other children. amelia's blood sample, taken from her umbilical cord, is being sent to labs in cambridge where her entire genetic code, or genome, will be sequenced. faulty genes in our dna can cause thousands of rare diseases, but only treatable conditions will be identified. the 200 conditions which have been selected for the programme cause substantial health problems early in childhood and the treatments and interventions which are available for all of these conditions can have a dramatic impact on that child. they can reduce the symptoms and in some cases they represent a cure. # i'm still standing yeah, yeah, yeah!# this isjoshua two years

ago, bright and active. and this is him now. aged nine, joshua from surrey is no longer able to walk or talk. his condition, mld, is one of those which will now be screened for. his mum has clear advice to parents offered the test. do not even hesitate. if you can save your child's life, that is more important than anything in this world, and speaking as a parent who is losing their child day to day, please don't look back and take the opportunity to find out. had joshua's condition been picked up at birth, he could potentially have been cured. now the damage done is irreversible. where's joshy? just got everyone just got everyone wrapped around his little finger already. wrapped around his little finger already. back at hospital, gemma back at hospital, gemma says she hasn't picked says she hasn't picked a name yet for her son, a name yet for her son,

but he is part of the but he is part of the screening programme. screening programme. all the babies involved in this all the babies involved in this study will be contacted again study will be contacted again when they reach the age of 16 when they reach the age of 16 to see if they want to to see if they want to continue with the research. continue with the research. that could involve looking that could involve looking for other faulty genes, for other faulty genes, which later in life can which later in life can increase your risk of getting increase your risk of getting certain cancers, heart certain cancers, heart disease or even dementia. disease or even dementia. that will raise ethical that will raise ethical questions about what questions about what information should be shared. information should be shared. need you hear from families but for now, the focus but for now, the focus is on the start of life is on the start of life and giving parents greater and giving parents greater reassurance about reassurance about their ba by�*s health. their ba by�*s health. fergus walsh, bbc news. fergus walsh, bbc news. dr rich scott is the chief dr rich scott is the chief executive officer at executive officer at genomics england and he told me genomics england and he told me why this trial is so important. why this trial is so important. this study, research study, this study, research study, is exploring and developing is exploring and developing evidence on whether we can do evidence on whether we can do better for the thousands better for the thousands of children born each year with of children born each year with a rare, treatable condition.

it responds to that very real a rare, treatable condition. of findings related to early—onset childhood conditions, where there is a treatment available

on the nhs, and we're very clear about that focus. as i said, the evidence as i said, the evidence that we're developing that we're developing through the study is also through the study is also about people's attitudes about people's attitudes and expectations from and expectations from the families, but also, the families, but also, as they grow up, the children, as they grow up, the children, around the storage of around the storage of genomic data to support genomic data to support ongoing health care. ongoing health care. but the focus of the study but the focus of the study and the findings that we'll be and the findings that we'll be returning are focussed on those returning are focussed on those childhood severe and childhood severe and treatable conditions. treatable conditions. the bbc she had no regrets fascinating study. that was the fascinating study. that was the chief executive officer at chief executive officer at genomics england. genomics england. the actress amanda abbington the actress amanda abbington has given her first interview has given her first interview since the bbc partially upheld since the bbc partially upheld complaints she made complaints she made against giovanni pernice, against giovanni pernice, her partner on the celebrity her partner on the celebrity dance contest strictly come dancing. dance contest strictly come dancing. the bbc apologised the bbc apologised to miss abbington earlier this to miss abbington earlier this week and said it has tightened week and said it has tightened up protocols on the show. up protocols on the show. mr pernice has always denied mr pernice has always denied the claims against him and says he's relieved the bbc�*s cleared him of claims

he was physically abusive. miss abbington told the claims against him and says

about the lack of background checks in the sector. our correspondent angus crawford has more. need a physics tutor? this man could be the one. only he is banned from the classroom after taking a female pupil on an overnight trip, kissing her on the cheek, saying he loved her. the child's parents had approved the outing and a disciplinary panel ruled out a sexual motive but they said the trip was inappropriate and the man was prohibited from teaching indefinitely, but that's only in schools. we found him still advertising online tutoring. it's just one example of the lack of regulation around private tutors. our report last month found more than 90 had been convicted of sexual crimes against children over the last 20 years, bringing urgent calls for change. it's horrendous, isn't it? one case would be too many.

what i really think is that's probably the tip of the iceberg. anyone can say they are a tutor. we want to make sure - there is at least a mandatory minimum standard which hasl to be an enhanced dbs check. our report prompted a huge response from you, the audience. one woman sent us this message. we've used an actress to speak words. i had a tutor at the age of 12. he tried to touch my breasts. i ran away to the bathroom and locked myself in. i refused all future lessons with him. i told my mum in adulthood and she was devastated at what could have happened. amy got in touch too. she is a music tutor who wants to get an enhanced dbs to reassure clients, but under the current system for the self—employed, she says there is no way of getting it. it's frustrating. it's frustrating.

there should be a way there should be a way of allowing for of allowing for individual tutors to be able to individual tutors to be able to apply and it should be that if apply and it should be that if you are setting up as an you are setting up as an individual tutor, you have to individual tutor, you have to get a dbs. get a dbs. it should be a requirement. it should be a requirement. and then a tip off — and then a tip off — another tutor. another tutor. an advert on a site an advert on a site called super prof. and expects tutors to get a dbs called super prof. we can't name him we can't name him for legal reasons. for legal reasons. he left his school last year he left his school last year charged with sexual assault. charged with sexual assault. he is barred from having any he is barred from having any contact with children. contact with children. the advert, though, the advert, though, is still live. is still live. hello, there. hello, there. sorry to bother you today. sorry to bother you today. i just wonder, are you i just wonder, are you still offering private still offering private tutoring services? tutoring services? he tells me he has he tells me he has stopped tutoring but no stopped tutoring but no one seems to be checking. one seems to be checking. super prof is the top platform super prof is the top platform

back to the court of appeal. they've made a fresh application to the criminal cases review commission. our business correspondent, emma simpson, reports. a murder at the post office in a quiet yorkshire village. diana garbutt had been beaten to death with a metal bar in the upstairs flat she shared with her husband, robin. he always maintained she was killed by an armed robber who had broken in and forced him to hand over the cash from their post office safe. he said, "don't do anything stupid. "we've got your wife." but thejury didn't believe him. the prosecution said he'd faked the robbery. he'd been stealing money from the post office, then killed his wife to cover it up. today, there's no post office or shop. it never reopened. the biggest thing that ever happened here was maybe a bike got stolen or something like that. to have a murder in your village? absolutely unheard of.

barry and vanessa were close friends with robin and diana. i still believe that he l didn't do it, you know. i think you have to knowl robin and di to knowjust how close and what sort of people they were. . yeah, never stopped believing. and i won't stop - believing till he's out. we tried contacting diana's mother but were unable to reach her. however, in an interview earlier this year, she made it clear she believes her son—in—law is guilty. over the years, robin garbutt has tried three times to get his case referred back to the court of appeal as new information has been uncovered. they all failed, but his lawyers say the post office inquiry has now cast a new light on his conviction. theft was the key motive. two post office investigators testified against him, relying on horizon computer data. they said the amount of cash that he was holding

at his branch was suspicious and indicative of fraud. garbutt�*s lawyers are now arguing that none of the key post office evidence in his case can now be trusted because of what's emerged about the organisation's widespread failings. the former post office minister, kevin hollinrake, is supporting the review. he went to the same school as garbutt but told me that's not why he's got involved. i can't speculate whether robin garbutt is guilty or innocent, but i think we all want to make sure people, when they go through the justice system, get a fair hearing. and that's what we're keen to ensure. because of my experience of the post office in terms of the wider scandal, but also the the culture that existed within the post office at that time, i think we just want to make sure that it's properly considered. a complex case that's now back in the spotlight. i think this is the final roll of the dice, really. you know, he's fought long and hard and we're all,

you know, really hoping that this will be the one that gives him a breakthrough. now with sort of the impetus of the post office scandal and the information that's now coming forward from that, i think that sort of hopefully adds a little bit of weight to what robin always said, that he wasn't, you know, stealing money from the post office, which was one of the accusations. diana's mother has accused garbutt ofjumping on the horizon bandwagon, but his supporters say he never had a fair trial and it's time for a wider look at his case. emma simpson, bbc news, melsonby. old graves could be reused, and closed burial grounds reopened to help manage a shortage in england and wales. currently, only some sites are allowed to reuse graves and it must be after at least 75 years, with permission from relatives of those buried. our correspondent

graham satchell reports. highgate cemetery, north london. it's the final resting place of some of the most significant writers, artists and thinkers like karl marx. but there's a problem. they're running out of space. like a lot of cemeteries across the country, highgate is all but full. so, the law commission is now examining a set of proposals to see what can be done to free up space. one idea is to reuse graves. it's something they've been able to do here since 2022. it can only be done after 75 years and if the right permissions are obtained. if the owner objects to grave re—use, it doesn't happen. and if relatives of the people who are buried in the grave object to reuse, it doesn't happen either. if the permissions are in place, a solemn process begins. i dig the grave down deeper and then re—inter them at the bottom of the grave, and then the new burials would go on top. right, so you're notjust throwing away bones or remains?

absolutely not, no. we would know where all the remains were, and ideally they'd be in their original location, just a little bit further underground. the law commission is now consulting on whether reusing graves should be allowed across england and wales. it's also examining where crematoria can be built, whether ashes unclaimed by relatives can be scattered by funeral directors, and whether closed burial grounds could be reopened and graves reused. a lot of people like to visit the grave of a loved one, and it's something that they like to do regularly, perhaps on family occasions, and it's a place to remember them after they've died. and so to have a place of their choosing is something that can be really important to bereaved people. the consultation runs untiljanuary next year. the government says it's keen to find a solution to the chronic lack of burial spaces. graham satchell, bbc news. it's more than a0 years since john nettles first graced our screens as detectivejim bergerac in the hit bbc series which ran for a decade.

now, a six—part remake of the show is being filmed onjersey, this time starring the actor damien molony in the lead role. our correspondent robert hall has been on set. royal square, st helier. shoppers and tourists strolling around a pop—up market. so far, so normal. but look again, because all is not it seems. three, two, one, action. 30 years afterjim bergerac hung up his handcuffs, the cameras are rolling again. an 80—strong crew bringing the fictional detective home. there hasn't been a lot of television production here and certainly not the scale of the sort of production. so, as much as we can do

in terms of exteriors, using jersey, all the beautiful bays, all the wonderful locations and scenery, absolutely. there will be an element of work being done in the uk simply because we cannot do that here. but it will be a jersey show. jim bergerac first appeared in 1981. a former alcoholic, police officer and later private investigator. the man who played him insists his co—star was the island itself. take awayjersey, proper jersey, out of the equation, the film equation, and you are left with not very much. you are left with an ordinary cop show. what made bergerac special, apart of course from my wonderful performance, was the... i always used to think that people got bored of my performance, as they might very well do,

they could look over my shoulder and enjoy the sights ofjersey. i grew up with bergerac, so, yes, big john nettles fan, i rememberthe sun, the scenery, the car, lots of driving, wonderful big houses. it's got a lot of references to bergerac, the original, but i think it's reinventing it as well. it's bringing it very up—to—date. shall i give you my interpretation of. what's going on here? up—to—date means a neinm bergerac. damien molony�*s screen credits include ripper street and suspects. alongside him, zoe wanamaker as charlie hungerford. this time, bergerac�*s mother—in—law. and philip glenister, aka dci gene hunt in the series life on mars. jersey—born actors will also be among bergerac�*s supporting cast. the framework of the story is the same in terms of it's about bergerac, it's about him coming back to the force and, you know, getting back into investigating crimes, so that's the same.

it's still going to have that sort of glamour that i think we remember... fond memories of in the original. but it's going to be grittier, stories probably a bit darker. a thousand people queued for parts as extras this time around. the lucky ones joined islanders who had already won a place on the crew. i am an assistant directortrainee, but i usually do locations. so, it's quite nice to try a different department. i haven't done any proper work here, so it's a bit like my english kind of working and mixed with home and being around friends, seeing family, seeing people around, it's very weird. but what about the man who was bergerac to millions? did he get a call? i got a lovely letter from them and they said, well, would you come along and do a little cameo at the end and so on?

i thought, no, because that would get in the way of the actual production. it would destroy in some sense the integrity of the production, i thought. in any case, i am too old and i'm retired and i've got to face up to that. the cast and writers of the reboot know they have a tough act to follow. we will have to wait a while yet though to decide whetherjim bergerac has risen to this new challenge. jersey, such a lovely place, looking forward to seeing more of it on the telly. now it's time for a look at the weather with carol. hello, again. we've just had the coldest night of this autumn so far. braemarfell to —4.1 celsius. there's been some mist and fog around this morning as well. and for the next few days, we are looking at the days starting on a chilly note with mist and fog, but most of us will have sunny spells. but there'll be some patchy rain coming in from the west. this afternoon, a lot of dry weather around. fair weather cloud bubbling up. it could produce the odd

shower, perhaps in the south—east, maybe one or two in the west, but that will be the exception rather than the rule. but the sunshine turning hazier from the west in the latter part of the afternoon. now, into the evening, the cloud will be accompanied by strengthening winds and rain across northern ireland and western scotland. not particularly heavy rain, though. england and wales seeing some mist and fog patches forming. and here it will be a chilly night. in rural areas, we could even see a touch of frost. but where we've got the cloud and the patchy rain, here, temperatures holding up, and it's courtesy of this weather front, which through the course of tomorrow will slowly drift eastwards. that's a fairly weak feature. so, we start in england and wales with the mist and fog, that lifts, then a lot of dry weather, a fair bit of sunshine. the cloud spreading across northern ireland, the isle of man and scotland. with it, patchy light rain and temperatures 13 to about 17 degrees, north to south. it'll feel quite pleasant, that 17, in the sunshine. then, as we move beyond that, from friday and into

the weekend, we say goodbye to this first weather front. but then the next area of low pressure comes in with a more potent weather front during the course of saturday. so, once again, for england and for wales, we start off on a dry note with some sunshine, but heavier rain and stronger winds come in from the west, gusty winds through the irish sea, and that is very slowly pushing eastwards. so, many eastern and central areas and also parts of wales will stay dry during the course of saturday. but overnight saturday and into sunday, what you'll find is the whole lot continues itsjourney, pushing eastwards, taking its cloud and its rain with it. so, later on in the day, it tends to brighten up from the west. but here too we're not immune to one or two showers. temperatures during the course of saturday, 13 in the north to a pleasant 18 as we sweep down towards the south—east.
