good afternoon. iran's supreme leader has defended his country's missile attack on israel earlier this week as totally legitimate. leading friday prayers in tehran for the first time in five years, ayatollah khamenei said it was the minimum punishment israel deserved. overnight, there were more israeli air strikes on lebanon, including one near a border crossing which israel says targeted a tunnel used by hezbollah. our diplomatic correspondent, caroline hawley, has the latest. this was designed as a show of strength from a regime deeply humiliated by a series of devastating blows to its allies, hezbollah and hamas. supporters

yes, the air overnight were very powerful, heard across the city, and it is believed the target of the strikes was the man believed to be the next hezbollah leader, hashem safieddine. he was believed to be in an underground bunker, his fate is still unclear, but i think it shows the israeli campaign against hezbollah is likely to be long, hezbollah is likely to be long, hezbollah wants to weaken hezbollah, just to its present and future. israeli air strikes have continued across the country and an israeli attack cut off the main road leading to the main crossing point between lebanon and syria, the israeli military said it was targeting an underground tunnel being used by hezbollah to transfer weapons from syria. in the south, the main hospital in a town has been evacuated after an israeli air nearby. as the conflict continues,

the crisis created by more than 1 million people who have been displaced is worsening, people have come to places like tripoli here in the north and the un assaying shelters across lebanon are full and a rising number of people are sleeping in the street and in public squares —— the un are saying. our correspondent nick beake is in northern israel. nick, what's the situation there? overnight we had a constant stream of israeli fighterjets overhead and it has continued today, also helicopters as well. we know there are more israeli troops heading for the border with lebanon. that is just over the hills behind us. the israeli army says it is carrying out what it describes as targeted, limited operations, but there is clearly a very big consequence and impact on the civilian population in lebanon. south of here last night, there was another israeli air strike, actually on a refugee camp

in the occupied west bank, the reports are 18 people were killed, including a mother and her two children. the footage in the aftermath of that shows a lot of destruction, people being taken to hospital. the israeli side they struck someone who they thought was an extremely senior and important hamas figure in that part of the west bank. the response from the spokesperson for the president of the authority there, palestinian authority, they described it as a heinous crime and a massacre. thank ou ve heinous crime and a massacre. thank you very much _ heinous crime and a massacre. thank you very much indeed. _ sir keir starmer has said he is pleased to have honoured a promise made to the broadcaster and campaigner dame esther rantzen to hold a parliamentary debate on assisted dying. the prime minister was speaking after it was confirmed that mps will be given a vote on the issue in england and wales. our political correspondent nick eardley reports. we wa nt we want choice... the debate over

opened and adjourned in ipswich this morning. mike lynch, his daughter, hannah, they were alongsidejonathan bloomer and his wife who was known as duty, among seven people who died. the senior coroner this morning nigel parsley was told the bayesian sank rapidly and for reasons which are yet to be ascertained, but he was told the marine investigation branch along with italian authorities are leading this investigation into what happened in the predawn storm. detective superintendent mike brown. the police spoke to the coroner and he said in three cases, hannah lynch, jonathan bloomer and judy bloomer, a cause of death has yet to be established. in the case of mike lynch, a provisional cause of death has been given as drowning. of course the investigations are ongoing. it is believed they were on the yacht at the time celebrating after mike lynch was acquitted of fraud charges in the us. his

daughter was about to go to oxford university. a provisional hearing date has been given for the 15th of april next year. date has been given for the 15th of april next year-— two metropolitan police officers, who were sacked for gross misconduct after their stop and search of the british sprinter bianca williams and her partner have won an appeal against their dismissal. our correspondent adina campbell can tell us more. adina, this relates to an incident back in 2020? yes, it was injuly 2021 a video went viral on social media showing the moment williams and her partner ricardo dos santos was stopped in maida vale in west london when the baby was crying on the back of the car and the car was searched for weapons and drugs. nothing was found. they were detained for about 45 minutes. all of this led to a disciplinary hearing in october of last year where five officers were all accused of gross misconduct. two

ended up being sacked for lying about smelling cannabis but the data has been a decision by the police appeals tribunal said the original decision to be irrational and inconsistent. the appeals tribunal chairman said both officers did not lie and they will now be reinstated back into the metropolitan police with back pay. there has been a statement by ricardo dos santos which says, our drive home from training in 2020 with our baby should never have turned into a violent incident where we were wrongly accused of smuggling drugs. he goes on to say they will be challenging the decision in the civil courts.— the american country singer garth brooks has been accused of rape and sexual assault by a former employee. the woman worked for brooks from 2017 to 2020 and her allegations relate to that period. in a statement, the singer said the claims were lies and a damaging attempt to extort millions of dollars in what he called hush money.

that is right. his first major speech to a gp audience. royal couege speech to a gp audience. royal college of gps, not all of them are members of the british medical association, the doctor's union, but quite a lot would have been. wes streeting said he understood frustrations about funding and the pressures, and he got the frustration and irritation at the situation. of course he referred back to the previous government has been to blame for that. but he urged doctors to think very hard about this action which was resulting in appointments being cut back and dr sticking very rigorously to the terms of the government contract. and therefore not doing services over and above that. here is a bit of what he had to say in the speech this morning. of what he had to say in the speech this morning-— this morning. capping appointments now will only — this morning. capping appointments now will only punish _ this morning. capping appointments now will only punish patients - this morning. capping appointments now will only punish patients and . now will only punish patients and make _ now will only punish patients and make the — now will only punish patients and make the road to recovery steeper. be in _ make the road to recovery steeper. be in no _ make the road to recovery steeper. be in no doubt, it is shutting the

yes, it is a learner motorcyclist tapping away on his phone while driving at speed. and who knows what this driver was thinking. there's no reason to do what they did. this is dashcam footage from another car, and a cyclist wearing a helmet camera captured the moment he was nearly knocked off the road. it's typical of the dozens of clips being sent to west midlands police every day. one man in birmingham is responsible for a lot of the clips that are being sent in. we aren't revealing tim's full identity because in the past he's been the victim of trolling, but he's a cyclist and part time cycling instructor who always has his camera on and nearly always sees drivers failing to take proper care. i came back from a bike ride and ijust said, i've had enough. there's something we've got to do about it. and i had a camera that i used to use when i went off road, and ijust decided to carry that.

and then they introduced a portal at the police to report. the material is sent here to the appropriately named operation snap, where officers decide what happens next. every day we come in, there's new submissions and then the public goes on to the operation snap website, uploads the footage. i then view it or my colleagues view it. any offence on the road, we will deal with it and we have some appalling driving, some serious offences committed on the roads. what's the worst you've seen? worst thing is overtaking on pedestrian crossings when there's people crossing. and once there's been a u—turn on the, um on the motorway. you can see you've got flowers on a lamp post there, which would suggest at some point it's gone wrong for someone here. the battle against dangerous driving is being fought in more traditional ways too. that means more officers on patrol and also stopping drivers who are doing what they shouldn't be. within minutes ofjoining pc rich adams, we saw this.

ijust spotted a driver in a white van with a mobile phone as he's driving, so we're pulling him over. turn your engine off for me, please. he's apologetic. he knows he shouldn't be doing it, admitted to the offence. but it doesn't negate the fact that the offence has been committed. and back in north birmingham, tim is still going out on his bike. so how many films have you sent in? several hundred, i would think. and do you know how many of those have resulted in action taken against the driver. in the west midlands police? all of them. tim reckons that as more drivers have become aware that they might be caught on camera, the roads have begun to get a little bit safer. in the meantime, there are more cameras and so the number of videos sent to the police is still going up. the government has announced an investment of nearly £22 billion to capture and store carbon emissions from energy production. the money will be spent in teesside and north—west england. our climate editor, justin rowlatt, is in cheshire. justin, what did we hear today?

there has been a lot of rousing rhetoric about reigniting an industrial revolution in the north. this is what national renewal inaction looks like is what the prime minister said. the government is presenting this as a win—win, boosting the economy, ring investment and skilled jobs to places like cheshire, and also helping the uk tackle climate change by reducing emissions, but not everybody is as enthusiastic about carbon capture and storage as the government. the government brought out the big guns today, a top—level political trifecta of the prime minister, the chancellor of the exchequer and the energy secretary. it is evidence of how important the government thinks this announcement is. carbon capture is a race that we can win. the uk continental shelf holds a third of the exploitable carbon storage space in all of europe. just think about that.

our geology, a third of everything that we have in europe. huge potential for our country, for the jobs of the future. he chose to announce the investment in a glass factory, the kind of hard—to—decarbonise industry that the government hopes will benefit from this new technology. carbon capture and storage does pretty much what it says on the tin — the co2 produced by industry or fossil fuels is captured and then pumped out to be permanently stored underground in depleted oil and gas wells. the £21.7 billion investment announced today will be in a cluster of projects here in the north west, of projects here in the north west, and another around teesside and another around teesside on the north—east coast. on the north—east coast. it has been welcomed it has been welcomed in these communities, but there is a more muted response with an aggressive form of cancer in these communities, from environmental groups. they fear carbon capture could just they fear carbon capture could just be used to extend the life span be used to extend the life span of the fossil fuel industries. of the fossil fuel industries. justin rowlatt, bbc news, cheshire. justin rowlatt, bbc news, cheshire.

a teenage girl living a teenage girl living with an aggressive form of cancer has been speaking about the moment she received a royal hug from the princess of wales. keen photographer liz hatton had been invited to take pictures at windsor castle, when she met catherine, who has also been treated for cancer. our reporter meghan owen has the story. it's not often you see the royals giving hugs, but this one was clearly special. just six months after starting her own cancer treatment, the princess of wales met 17—year—old liz, diagnosed with terminal cancer this year. this meeting, though, was all about their shared love of photography, with the teenager getting the chance to take photos of a medal ceremony. we didn't discuss anything in terms of their hard experiences or mine, but there was definitely a level of empathy there on both parts, i'd say, because obviously you understand better once you've gone through something.

the palace got in touch when prince william heard about liz through his patronage of london air ambulance charity. we spoke to them for a good half hour or so, and it was just amazing because they were so, so lovely and welcoming, really. the feeling was clearly mutual. prince william and catherine wrote in a post on x, "a talented young photographer whose creativity and strength "has inspired us both. "thank you for sharing your photos and story with us." i'm really proud of her. it's been a whirlwind year for liz and her mum, who back in may published her daughter's photography bucket list on social media, which was shared by thousands.

you just go in for a hug because that's what you do. like, if i was saying goodbye to my mum, i'd give hera hug, but, um, yeah, itjust felt natural. a rare public appearance from the princess of wales for a talented teenager. meghan owen, bbc news. great britain could secure a place in the america's cup today, for the first time in 60 years. sir ben ainslie's ineos britannia team are taking on italy for the chance to face new zealand in the final. our sports editor, dan roan, sent this report from barcelona, where the race has just begun. could this be the moment british sailing has waited 60 years for? sir ben ainslie, arriving this morning to lead his team's bid to become the first from the country to reach the america's cup since 1964. bankrolled by billionaire sirjim ratcliffe, ineos britannia are now tantalisingly close

to sealing this pivotal challenger series. having built a 6—4 lead over their italian rivals here in barcelona earlier this week, they now need just one win to claim the louis vuitton cup and clinch a place in the sport's flagship event. it is the oldest international sporting trophy. it's the only international sporting trophy that britain has never won, despite it actually being invented or starting around the isle of wight in 1851. so that's why it's so important to us. that's our motivation really, to go out and get the job done and win it. i think it could be a massive moment for british sport. having lost at this stage in 2021, ineos britannia collaborated with mercedes formula one team to draw on their technical expertise and ainslie, a four time olympic champion, says it's proved crucial. america's cup is effectively formula one on water. it's a development game. it's a technical game capped off by a sailing race. so it's really about the technology and it's been an incredible partnership.

it's only when you're this close that you get a true sense of the sheer scale of this racing boat 26m high, 20m long and capable of speeds of around 60 miles an hour. meanwhile, these giant foil wings enable this six tonne vessel to effectively fly above the water, providing one of sport's greatest spectacles. the british team set off today on the verge of being confirmed as official challengers to holders new zealand when the 37th america's cup starts here next weekend. but in a series that has featured the tightest of racing, nothing can be taken for granted. this is the 23rd time that britain has tried to win the america's cup since 1851. will it be the one that british sailing has been waiting for? we have to wait and see. in the last few minutes, today possible

preferred of two scheduled races began here and it's around half way through, it lost around 25 minutes, and the good news for ineos britannia is that they have the advantage, around a 100 metre lead over their italian opponents. it's been very tight all this week and so very evenly matched. it could be changed and nothing can be taken for granted. the conditions are different today to drop their worth as of low winds, very high winds earlier in the week and big waves but that's changed. ben ainslie's team, if they can maintain that advantage, they will be through to the america's cup final, which gets under way here next weekend, and british sailing could have a defining moment. it will be decided in the next ten minutes or so. hosted byjim bowen and famed for its quirky prizes, bullseye was staple sunday afternoon

viewing during the 1980s and �*90s. now, the game show is heading back to our screens for a christmas special, with the former cricketer freddie flintoff as host. our media correspondent, david sillito, can tell us more. david, bullseye was a huge show in its heyday. keep out of the black, stay in the red, you get nothing in this game for two in the bed, if that means nothing, you either had better thing to do with your sunday afternoon in the 80s or you're under 40, because bullseye was massive in its day and still about 100,000 people watch the reruns every evening. it's a show that brought a magical union of general knowledge, skill and dance and famous for its interesting top prices. if any of your neighbours as a speedboat that's been on their tribe for the last 30 years, they

may well have won it on bullseye, but now reboot. freddie flintoff, an ashes cricket hero and former presenter of top gear until a terrible accident at an aerodrome in december 2022, terrible accident at an aerodrome in december2022, is terrible accident at an aerodrome in december 2022, is not going to be the presenter on this one—off christmas show, and he has a bit of heritage with darts, having commentated at darts beds and he also had a world record for longest bull's—eye to drop i think it is now christmas this year and also a very good sign about the recovery of freddie flintoff.— a reminder of our top headline this afternoon... the iranian supreme leader praises his country's missile attack on israel and hints there could be more. the rising price of postage —

first—class stamps go up by 30p on monday, the third increase in a year. we'll have a full forecast in the next half—hour but it's time now for a quick look at the weather. here's elizabeth. dry again across england and wales with lots of blue sky and sunshine, setting off those autumn colours nicely. if you have plant outdoors over the weekend, it's going to be quite mixed. it will stay largely dry and bright for most of us on saturday away from the far north and west. by sunday, a lot more grey and there will be outbreaks of rain. that sets the stage for next week, which looks wet and windy at times, but all the details later. mps and consumer groups are warning that badly—installed insulation is leaving the most vulnerable people at risk. millions of homes have been fitted with goverment—funded insulation in recent years,

but poor workmanship is leading to damp and mould in many cases, as our correspondent zoe conway reports. i'm removing this mushroomy stuff that's grown on my mum's wall. every few days, lukman ashraf picks mushrooms off the walls. looks disgusting. we've got mould, as well. the wallpaper�*s damp. so this is just one small element of this problem. it's around the whole house. he says the damp took over soon after external wall insulation was fitted nearly two years ago. the house belongs to his mother, tormooja khatun. she is 84 years old, and recently had two strokes. but she liked to sort of live her last few years in this house. and to live in comfort. yeah. and without stress. absolutely. lukman's parents left bangladesh for britain more than 40 years ago.

his father, mohammed, worked in the vauxhall car plant. they bought their home in 1990. dad worked very hard in vauxhall, so, you know, something — they're passionate about having their own house... and...you know, seeing it go downhill because someone's done a really, really bad job — it's just really, really shocking. more than 3,000 homes in luton have had external wall insulation fitted. it involves fixing insulation boards to the outside brickwork of a house. render is then applied to make it waterproof. see, this is virtually flat. building surveyor david walter is inspecting mrs khatun's house. this sill should have been at an angle to throw the water off the building. what do you make of the quality of the workmanship? it's appalling. it's just obviously been done by people who don't understand the basic principles of weatherproofing a building.

water is very unforgiving — it will find a way in. the structure becomes saturated. the sad thing is, i see it time and time again, up and down the country. back inside, the consequences are clear to see. and here, fixed to the wall is the mycelium of the dry—rot fungus. these strands actually grow — and they grow behind the plaster, they can grow through brickwork — and they will actually move at up to the rate of one metre a month. beneath the floorboards, growths of white dry—rot fungus are feeding off this house. this is a classic fruiting body of dry rot, and that's growing out from the mycelium. the family has been warned it could cost more than £100,000 to repair their home. it's not clear who will pick up the bill. more than three million homes have had insulation fitted under

the government's energy efficiency schemes, which are targeted to help low—income households. funded by the energy companies, the cost is passed on to consumers through their energy bills. the bbc revealed earlier this year that figures compiled by the regulator ofgem suggest that hundreds of thousands of uk homes could have insulation that wasn't installed to the required standard. over 50% of the properties in this road have now had i external insulation, _ and i'd say 50% of that lot haven't been done correctly. it is a time—bomb waiting to go off, and we as a council will end up - picking up the pieces - because the energy companies and the government can't get their act together. . trustmark is the only government—endorsed quality scheme. for the last five years, trustmark has been responsible for ensuring the quality of work carried out under government green energy schemes. but is it really working? the company that insulated mrs khatun's house —

saviour energy solutions — is trustmark registered. imran hussain is one of a growing number of mps concerned about how botched insulation is ruining their constituents' homes. the government's got to find out the depth of the problem and we cannot see heartbreaking, horrific stories like mrs khatun's — you know, that is just shocking. you know, the tragedy is there's many more households that are impacted in the same way. that's not a problem that's impacting luton alone. in my own constituency, we've had very similar situations. in a statement, trustmark ceo simon ayers said...

under the disputes process, the family is supposed to let saviour carry out the repairs, but they don't trust the company to do the work. saviour energy solutions said in a statement... she doesn't sleep anyway due to ill health, but this has added on top of this at all. she does worry a lot. the family fears what another winter will do to their home.

hello and welcome to sportsday. i'm hugh ferris. our top stories this lunchtime. fifa's transfer system under the microscope after a european court ruling that one lawyer says could have far—reaching consequences. harry maguire steps up in the knick of time with a goal that could save his manager'sjob as manchester united's chaotic season continues. jannik sinner says he's confident, but not comfortable about the appeal that could overturn a decision to clear him for doping offences.

hello again. the highest court in the european union has said that fifa rules which govern the way some football transfers work break the eu's laws in a ruling that could have a big effect on future deals. it's after a long—running legal battle between former chelsea and arsenal midfielder lassana diarra and fifa that has been won by the retired player whose lawyer says the whole transfer system has changed with the ruling. diarra's legal team successfully argued that fifa's current system contravenes eu laws regarding freedom of movement of players and competition between clubs. football's world governing body had refused to provide diarra with an international transfer certificate for a proposed move to belgian club charleroi in 2015. fifa says the decision only puts into question two paragraphs of their rules. while this is the response from those representing players, like global union fifpro, who say the ruling on the regulatoin of the labour market in football will change the landscape of professoinal football. the pfa have said the court's decision could have potentially far—reaching ramifications

for the rights of players and that it demonstrates that football cannot behave like it doesn't have to work within the same employment laws that apply to any other industry. i think the players and the players union will be delighted. it does mean that players will not be forced to stay at a club. even if there are complicated circumstances. it also means that if a player is sacked, he or she will be able to move to another club without a transfer fee being paid by that the ceiling club, which means that it's easier for players to move. manchester united's season is fast developing into something of a sporting soap opera with each match appearing to add to the drama surrounding erik ten hag's future at the club. the latest in portugal as harry maguire scored a late goal that might have helped save his manager'sjob. united drew 3—all at porto in the europa league on thursday

with ten hag's side rescuing a draw after being 2—nil up after just 20 minutes. less than quarter of an hour later though it was 2—all, with samu omorodion, who nearlyjoined chelsea in the summer, getting the first of his two goals. the second put porto ahead early in the second half, but even after bruno fernandes was sent off to reduce united to ten men, substitute harry maguire provided the crucial injury time equaliser. despite gaining a point, that's only three wins out of ten matches so far this season for a team that is continuing to concede goals and blow leads. it's mixed feelings, yes. and when you are winning again, we know this is a very tough place to go. when you then start so well, and the players execute the plan, i would say brilliantly, we scored two great goals, and then switching off. and we don't keep so much possession as before. defending, we are switching off.

we concede a first goal. totally unnecessary. and then, you know, you light up the fire in this stadium, in this ambience, and then it becomes real tough. this team is capable of winning it but they have to do it consistent. and they have to do it all consistent. and when one, two, three players are switching off, then it's a problem. and that is what we have to solve. and we just start the season, so we have time to solve this issue, but it has to go quickly. we can't wait so long. players have to take their responsibility. elsewhere it was a historic but tough night for larne and the new saints, who have ensured the northern irish and welsh leagues respectively are represented in the main draw of a euorpean competition for the first time. joe lynskey reports. for the new saints, this was their march into a miracle. a football match between the former

champions of italy and a tiny club from oswestry. the first welsh premier league team to get to the group stage and yet, at half time, remarkably, they were level. quite the feat for a club who get around 300 fans at home games. fiorentina had to push for 65 minutes. that is the tns. resistance is broken. they won this match 2—0, but tns will always have their fairy tale in florence. we came into it blind. we came into it with no experience whatsoever at this level, and i think the players and the staff and the football club have proved, like i said, you know, we can play at this level. we deserve to be this level. we've obviously got five more games, games that, on paper, you would say are winnable. certainly not fiorentina away. this is not the champions league. it's europe's third biggest competition, but for larne of northern ireland,

the faces showed how much it meant. the first irish premiership team to get here faced molde of norway. into the top of the net. they lost 3—0, but for larne, like the new saints, the breakthrough was just to be here. joe lynskey, bbc news. one other line of football news for you this lunchtime. preston north end striker milutin osmajic has been banned for eight games by the fa for biting blackburn's owen beck. the 25—year—old montenegro international, who admitted the charge of violent conduct, has also been fined £15,000. the incident followed beck's sending off in the closing stages of september's goalless lancashire derby for kicking out at preston's duane holmes. england test cricket captain ben stokes is a doubt for the first match against pakistan in multan as he continues to recover from a hamstring injury. stokes has been out since the beginning of august, missing the series defeat of sri lanka. england trained in multan for the first time this morning with stokes batting in the nets and bowling a handful of deliveries.

he's already suggested that he is unlikely to bowl at the beginning of this three—match series, which starts on monday. elsewhere, the women's t20 world cup is continuing with the west indies taking on south africa in dubai. west indies, batting first lost a few early wickets, but set south africa a total of 119 to win thanks largely to a quickfire 44 from stafanie taylor. in reply, south africa are 89—no loss after 13. world number one jannik sinner sez he is confident that he will avoid a doping ban after wada appealed a decision by the international tennis integrity agency to clear him of wrongdoing following two positive tests for an anabolic steroid in march. the appeal to the court of arbitration for sport means the case might not be resolved before sinner begins the defence of his australian open title injanuary. i'm still surprised, but i will collaborate like i did before. you know, i had three

hearings, went my way, which, you know, was good. but now let's see, you know, but i'm very confident that it comes out very positively. i would be very, very surprised if it would be the opposite side, but, you know, it's not in a situation where i feel comfortable in. from one us open champion to another, but aryna sabalenka has lost for the first time since before her run to the title in new york, beaten by karolina muchova in the quarterfinals of the china open. sabalenka's defeat in beijing ends a winning streak of 15 matches. but after fighting back from a set down and having a break in the decider, she lost the third set 6—4 to muchova, who only returned from 10 months out with a wrist injury injune. the chairman of the augusta national golf course says he's confident the masters will be held as scheduled in april. the area in georgia is one of those recovering from the devastating damage of hurricane helene, with the club contributing towards a $5 million donation

to a fund helping the clean up. as far as the golf course, it really was affected just as the rest of the community was. there was a lot of damage and we have a lot of people working hard to get us back up and running. we don't really know exactly what that's going to mean, but i can tell you, if it's humanly possible, we will be back in business sooner rather than later. in barcelona, it was very close and very near potentially the end of the journey for britain towards the america's cup. it has been completed and led by sir ben ainslie, they've won their race against italy and will contest the america cup for the first time a british boat, in that for 60 years as they attempt to win

a trophy they first challenged america four to win in 1851. that starts next saturday. more at our website, more reaction to britain contesting the america's cup. that's it for now. goodbye. in its campaign against hezbollah. rockets have continued to be fired from lebanon into northern israel. our correspondent lucy williamson and a bbc team were filming on the israeli side of the border earlier, when they witnessed firing and explosions. we are starting to see more signs of resistance to israeli forces on the other side of the border. even a year of air strikes, intelligence operations, raids by specialforces have not destroyed hezbollah's ability to fight back just a few miles in. wejust heard some bursts

of small arms fire and what sounded like grenades from the israeli army, and now we can hear the sirens going off, telling us to get out of the area. we just heard a series of very loud explosions, what seemed to be rockets landing nearby, some small arms fire across the border. it seems the israeli army is pushing into a location and this was the response. good to go. come on, time to go. you can keep up to date

well done to them. a pub landlord has introduced a surcharge for diners who leave too much uneaten food — in a bid to stop people overloading their plates at the all—you—can—eat carvery. the policy is proving controversial, as tamsin melville reports. food waste became a real headache for landlord mark graham in the years after the pandemic. at his sunday carvery, he serves the meat and then customers can return as many times as they like to load up again on all the rest. i glance down and they've got a pile on there that you would put a ladder up the side and a flag on top. it'sjust huge. it's just stupidly excessive. and then it's like two meals on one plate. so they brought in a policy about a year ago. and the signs spell it out. only take what you can eat or you could be charged a bit more. mark says most do take sensible portions, but some don't. people come in, take a plate, eat it, come and load the plate for a second time,

take it, and then eitherjust leave it and waste it, or try and take it home. it's an all you can eat buffet. not all you can carry buffet. at the weekend, the team here found themselves imposing the charge for excessive waste for the first ever time. a customer was charged £2.40 on top of the original £12 per plate after they'd confirmed there was nothing wrong with the meal. all of us, the waiting staff, the chefs, me, the landlady, my wife, we all looked at it and go, that's ridiculous. the customer took to social media and it's kicked off a debate. you can go back as many times as you like. it's just the amount that's left. yeah. so do you think you can justify an extra charge? i think a small charge would make people eat more responsibly. they buy it in mass anyway. so, you know, they obviously got they obviously calculate the percentage of it is going to go to waste anyway. do you think it's fair enough

that the pub then puts an extra charge on you? i've never been in that position because i never eat that much. but yeah, but yeah, i would say that's probably fair enough. yeah, yeah, yeah. eyes too big for their belly, you say? well, no, because they would have taken that into consideration before they set up an all you can eat carvery. at the star inn. mark says of course, leaving a few spuds is one thing, but they have to draw the line somewhere. i can't express enough. it's only on all you can eat. ijust want people to be sensible and it's all fine margins in business these days. so the wastage, we want to keep down to the smallest amount possible. tamsin melville, bbc news. just time for a quick update from the america's cup in barcelona, where great britain have just won a place in the final. ben ainslie's

ineos britannia italy and will now face new zealand, the first time in 60 years that great britain have made it to a final. now the weather with elizabeth. we start with this atmospheric picture from oxfordshire, some mist and fog across england earlier this morning, with all the recent rain, the extra moisture, and light winds and clear skies, temperatures dropped," by night, blue skies by day, and a lovely sunny picture out there for many across england and wales for the rest of the afternoon. very calm for most of us, with high pressure dominating further eased, but it's not sunny everywhere. more cloud and outbreaks of mostly light and patchy rain in northern and western areas of scotland, northern ireland, more cloud in western wales and pembrokeshire through the

afternoon, and light and barely noticeable south—easterly wind blowing. brisk towards i receipt coasts. it's really quite light in the south—east, which is where we will see the highest temperatures to drop just above seasonal average, 17 or 18. a lovely day for most us. overnight, that cloud starts to push further eased, so turning cloudy across northern england and scotland, and you can see the dividing line between the cloudy, mild conditions in the north and west and where we keep clear skies and temperatures drop back to 45 celsius, not so much mist and fog tomorrow morning, because the wind will be stronger. again, on saturday, although it looks quite dramatic towards the west and we will see some rain, for much of england and wales, it should stay dry and there will be sunshine. cloudy in scotland and heavy, more

persistent rain in northern ireland at western scotland, especially heading through the afternoon, and the winds will pick up, particularly for i receipt coasts. temperatures 13 to 17 celsius. for saturday night and sunday, the rain gradually pushing further eased and the winds will pick up. a much more cloudy day on sunday. we will see a south—easterly wind, quite brisk, and more heavy rain pushing to wales and more heavy rain pushing to wales and the south of england, stretching out for northern ireland and western scotland by the end of the day the dip a little cloud further eased but logically dry here. that will roll its way north and east. low pressure dominant into the start of next week. it looks rather showery. dominant into the start of next week. it looks rathershowery. here is the outlook for the capitals. dry conditions not accept a lot and it could be quite windy next week. that's all from today's
