live from israel, this is bbc news. we are in southern israel as the one year anniversary of hamas�*s attacks in towns in this region. let's look at the latest news in this hour. israel's bombardment of lebanon continues, massive explosions rocking the capital through the night and into this morning. smoke hangs over the beirut skyline — as lebanese officials say 23 people were killed in israeli strikes saturday. hezbollah has been firing more rockets into israel — the iron dome defence system has blocked some, while others have landed in the country's north. and around the world, calls for the release of hostages and a ceasefire echo in protests around

the world — as the anniversary of october 7 approaches. in other news... tech billionaire elon musk joins republican nominee donald trump on stage in butler, pennsylvania — as he returns to the site of his attempted assassination. you are watching bbc news and you join us here in the kr boots not far from the gaza border in front of one of the homes as you can see was brutally attacked in the early hours of october seven a year ago. everybody who lived in the homes behind us are dead. some of the families that are gathering near to not farfrom where we are broadcasting to commemorate the lives that were

taken and the hostages still being held in gaza. the community suffered terribly in the october seven attacks. a small community of 400 people saw 117 people killed or kidnapped. that is a quarter of this community. in a moment, we will speak to someone who saw six members of herfamily taken and someone who lost loved ones in the attack. let's look first at the latest development, beginning with the attacks overnight in lebanon. israel continued its bombardment of the capital, the most brutal yet, and the attacks have been described as very violent. these pictures from beirut show the skyline and the smoke rising. that is

in southern lebanon, along the israeli border, hezbollah fired rockets into israel. defence forces say 30 rockets were launched into the north. everyone pretty much has left the area, evacuated. it said fighters repelled the israeli troops that tried to enter a lebanese village. there have also been attacks overnight. that is in the gaza strip. but first let look at what has been happening in lebanon. the bbc�*s lina sinjab is in beirut. it was really apocalyptic. these people felt they were watching hell on earth. the fire, the constant attacks, the fear, whether people who are in the area orsurrounding, or even a little bit far, the sound, seeing and feel of these bombardments were terrible. of course, this is not the first night that

the lebanese are living these kinds of horror moments, it has been night and knights of sleepless hours for the lebanese, air strikes overnight and destruction during the day. they see people fleeing, there are dead people, it is attack after another and for the lebanese, really, it is obvious for them, it is not only an attack on hezbollah or a defence of the southern border for the israelis, but an expanded attack, this is how the lebanese see it, to cripple hezbollah and stop any kind of resistance against israel and that could be a target anywhere, any time, even in civilian areas.

our correspondent lina reporting from beirut. let's return now to the situation here in this kibbutz one year on. we arejoined on here in this kibbutz one year on. we are joined on the here in this kibbutz one year on. we arejoined on the line. joining me now is efrat machikawa. six members of herfamily were taken hostage by hamas. the horrific hours this community went to. you can see some of the damage behind us. seems like this write a crust this small kibbutz of 400 people. over the past year, four members of herfamily people. over the past year, four members of her family have returned. her uncle is still held hostage, his partner was killed as they were trying to take her into gaza. thank you very much forjoining us. i know this is a very painful time of remembrance. what is most in your mind today? i thank you very much for coming

to the kibbutz and i trust you can feel the dissonance between the beautiful, the green in the atrocity that happened there. for us, it is really still hard to believe. that the terrible destruction of the kibbutz really happened. and so many of them, the force of the community was either brutally murdered or kidnapped and we are still living the october seven. i don't know, this year seems to me like maybe at the most, two months. and we have done so much, we have been everywhere. we have tried everything we could and yet, they are not back. it is very sad. ., , ,. ,

other, i was full of tears because we are missing the rest of the community and the rest of the community and the rest of the community and the rest of the 101, we all became one family. to be a hostage family, it really means that when you are thirsty, you take a second to think, what happens with drinking water over with the hostages? or the terrible other little things like what do they do if they have a mosquito bite? are there fleas all over them? can they sleep? can i complain about having a shoulder pain when i know they are going through so many terrible other things? it really affects your life. there is not a second of our lives thatis is not a second of our lives that is not connected to what is happening with our beloved ones. on one hand, we see their

happiness and i am very, very pleased to tell you that the one who came back actually announced they are pregnant and new life is coming, we hope that the grandfather and new uncle will be able to come back and overcome the difficulties here with the ray of light over the horizon. figs here with the ray of light over the horizon.— here with the ray of light over the horizon. as you know, this agonising _ the horizon. as you know, this agonising time _ the horizon. as you know, this agonising time for _ the horizon. as you know, this agonising time for the - the horizon. as you know, thisi agonising time for the families of the hostages, as you have been describing, many of them have been taken to the streets night after night, calling for a ceasefire, warning and worrying that every day this war goes on, is a day that their loved ones are suffering even more. are you part of those protest?— even more. are you part of those protest? sure, i am here now talking _ those protest? sure, i am here now talking to _ those protest? sure, i am here now talking to you, _ those protest? sure, i am here now talking to you, but - those protest? sure, i am here now talking to you, but my - now talking to you, but my cousins were out there earlier in the morning protesting. we are there all the time. as we

cannot always be all of us together, we do have shifts, sometimes we march together, but there is always someone out there. and i think this is a disgrace, actually. because the families should not be fighting for theirfamily members families should not be fighting for their family members and community members, this is the responsibility of our government and they are not doing enough because a year has passed and our beloved ones are not here. this is outrageous. and i think that these terror attacks should worry people all over the world, wherever you are. we are a normalfamily, we never thought something so terrible could happen to us or our neighbours and it did. and i think whether you are in britain or in south africa or the united states, it does not matter, terror is a scary thing. it can hit any time. we

all have, as a huge international coalition to make sure that this does not happen to anyone and we do have to give hope for everyone from whatever side they are on the border that things can be better. so that all the good people, and i say it not in an innocent way, but all the good people and the moral and those who have morals and values should really unite in order to bring back these hostages because by then coming back, we will start to rewind the cycle of violence. we have to make this world better.— this world better. different. thank you _ this world better. different. thank you very _ this world better. different. thank you very much - this world better. different. thank you very much for - this world better. different. - thank you very much forjoining us. we hope your uncle comes home and the rest of the israeli hostages said to be numbering around 100. many in this community, a quarter of this community, a quarter of this community, a quarter of this community either killed or kidnapped, we are here with

from other neighbouring countries are ended. here we are at the one—year anniversary and this war goes on. we will continue our special coverage from across southern israel and across the region, but for now i will hand you back to the studio. thank you very much indeed. with exactly one month to go until the us presidential election, donald trump has returned to the pennsylvania showground where he survived an assassination attempt. speaking from behind bulletproof glass, the republican began his speech with a joke. our correspondent will grant has the details. as i was saying! cheering in the same spot where he was almost killed three months ago, donald trump took to the stage in bullish and defiant mood. he immediately referenced his attempted assassination. time stopped as this vicious monster unleashed pure evil from his sniper�*s perch, not so far away. but by the hand of providence

and the grace of god, that villain did not succeed. memories of that day remain fresh in butler. firing from just 150 metres away came close to killing the former president, grazing his ear. as he was taken bloodied from the stage, he urged the crowd to fight. one man was killed that day, former fire chief corey competore. bell tolls his helmet and uniform are on display and his grieving family in attendance for a minute's silence in his honour. this time, amid much tighter security from behind bullet—proof glass, mr trump repeated his calls for his supporters to secure his victory in pennsylvania in november. and he called his most high—profile backer, tech billionaire elon musk, who endorsed him soon after the shooting, onto the stage in butler. take over, elon! in the immediate aftermath of the assassination attempt, donald trump received a notable

bump in the polls. by returning to butler, he hopes to project an image of fearlessness and bolster his support, with less than a month to go until voting day. butler is staunchly pro—trump country and is now synonymous with the presidential shooting. some supporters see the hand of history, even divine intervention, in his brush with death. ijust felt obligated to come. i felt like it was a historic moment. kind of like an abraham lincoln type situation. in my opinion, god has| saved his life twice now and with god on his side, nobody can beat him. - this race remains on a knife edge, with kamala harris also working the swing states hard with just weeks to go. the people of butler know their town could still influence this election — by the ballot box rather than the gun. now it's time for a look

at today's sport. hello to you. four of the top ten premier league teams play on sunday. but none of them are manchester united. they head to aston villa — 14th in the table after a start to the season that has put erik ten hag under more pressure, one that has led his defender harry maguire to say the team has to stick together as "everyone piles on" their boss. having only signed a contract extension in the summer, ten hag has led his team to just three wins in their first ten games of the season and needed maguire's injury—time goal to rescue a draw in the europa league in their last match. and they now travel to play a team who beat bayern munich in theirs. when one, two, three players are switching off, then it's a problem. and that is what we have to solve. and we just started 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 in such defending moments.

three games in all. fourth—placed chelsea take on nottingham forest, and it could be an entertaining affair at the amex with brighton hosting spurs. real madrid have confirmed their defender dani carvajal will miss several months after suffering a serious knee injury during their la liga win over villarreal on saturday. the spanish international tangled with yeremy pino in stoppage time before being carried off with what tests have shown are two ruptured ligaments in his right knee. ahead of his surgery, carvajal promised to come back like �*an animal'. translation: a player like dani carvajal is key, always there and always motivated. when a player like that, it affects the whole team. last season we had a similar situation and we need to do the same this season.

hopefully these injuries will be a spark for the players, just like it was last season. defending champion francesco bagnaia has ramped up the pressure onjorge martin at the top of the motogp standings after winning the japanese grand prix. bagnaia, on his ducati, overtook pole—sitter pedro acosta on the opening lap and maintained that lead throughout the race. with martin finishing in second place and marc marquez third. martin's overall lead is down to ten points with four races of the season remaining. i want to keep the championship, so i have to do it. i have to try and recover points every time but without taking a risk. it is not easy, but this weekend started well and we have to take it like an example for the next ones and try to follow what we did this weekend, working a perfect way and try to always do the best. the first of the nfl�*s games in london this season takes place later — as the new yorkjets meet the unbeaten minnesota vikings

at the tottenham hotspur stadium. thejets, who have two wins and two defeats from theirfour games, have aspirations to make the super bowl and quarterback aaron rodgers says he's desperate to get a win in london after losing on his previous trip with the green bay packers two years ago. i definitely want to win in london for sure. we kind of hit a wall in the second half, we were up 20—10 at the half, and we lost 27—20. sojust understanding how it is a change. we are on a different time clock. no excuses, we have to go out and play 60 minutes. we played 30 great minutes two years ago, and that started a little downturn for the g&g that year. just before we go, time to point you in the direction of the first game of the day at the women's t20 world cup. a meeting of two of cricket's great rivals. india are playing pakistan in dubai. they only do that in global icc tournaments, so it's a rare thing. pakistan won the toss. they rallied since, fifth over,

21-1. rallied since, fifth over, 21—1. you can follow that on the bbc website and the application. back to you. an m—pox vaccination campaign targeting high—risk groups is under way in goma in the east of the democratic republic of congo. the health ministry in kinshasa says it's an attempt to curb the spread of the virus, which has killed close to 1,000 people this year. more than 200,000 doses of the m—pox vaccine have been donated by the eu and us. 75 people on board a new zealand navy vessel which sank off the coast of samoa — have escaped safely. the manawanui, ran aground near the southern coast of upolu on saturday, and was seen listing heavily and emitting large plumes of smoke. all crew and passengers we're evacuated via lifeboats. authorities are now working to salvage the vessel and establish what happened. at this stage, the exact cause of the grounding is unknown. this will need further investigation. it's really sad, but, but, everyone came through and that, i have to say, is down

to the professionalism, the training and their own courage. before we go, let's take you to farago where we can see a large demonstration, a pro—palestinian demonstration, one of several around the world marking the anniversary of the war in gaza. that is a pro—palestinian demonstration there in morocco. let's look at there in morocco. let's look at the live shut now from lebanon. beirut has been under fire again this morning. air strikes on saturday killed 23 people according to the health ministry there and i have been more strikes this morning. also to note that there are several areas, 25 areas in southern lebanon that have been sent evacuation orders, that is

according to the arabic language spokesperson for the israeli military. stay with us here on bbc news. hello. whilst yesterday brought us some sunshine and temperatures as high as 18 degrees for a few spots, today is looking a little bit cloudier for the rest of today. we've got quite a bit of cloud and some showery rain. there will be some blue skies, some brighter spells just breaking through that cloud at times, especially towards the east. further west, it's low pressure that's dominating our weather. so that's moving in from the atlantic. and it's pushing these couple of weather fronts slowly northwards and eastwards. so quite a lot of cloud for most areas. for the rest of the day, i think the heaviest of the rain will be for the south—west of england, wales, perhaps northern ireland into the midlands. there could be some heavy bursts too, some brighter spells for the north east of scotland, perhaps eastern england as well, and temperatures ranging between about 13 to 17 degrees. some of these showers into the evening hours could bring the odd rumble of thunder, then the cloud and showery rain pushes northwards and eastwards overnight. tonight, clearerskies moving in from the south but still some heavy showers.

perhaps the odd rumble of thunder as well. not going to be a particularly cold night with temperatures holding up between eight to 12 degrees. frost—free certainly to start the new working week, but monday still quite an unsettled sort of day. we've got a band of cloud sitting across parts of scotland with outbreaks of rain further south, sunny spells developing but some heavy showers again, potentially some thunderstorms pushing in from the south—west later in the day. but brighter skies and we've got out there today and highs around 13 to perhaps 19, even 20 degrees. still quite mild in the south—east. tuesday, another unsettled sort of day. so again, we've got some outbreaks of rain across northern parts of the uk. sunshine and showers towards the south, some of them on the heavy side and temperatures still mild for the time of year, around 18, possibly 19, in the south, but starting to turn a little bit colder across parts of scotland. now into the middle of the week, let's take a look at this system. this is going to be the remnants of ex—hurricane kirk moving in, probably pushing down towards france where we'll see some really wet and windy weather. could be a bit further north though, so keep an eye on the forecast. i think for us we're looking at another showery sort of day on wednesday. quite breezy at times and the colder air starting

to push in, so only around ten degrees for lerwick and stornoway, for instance, but still 15 or 16 for southern england in those sunny spells. but that colder air will continue its progress further south during the latter part of next week. so you can see the blue colours returning here, pushing away that mild air. so the next few days certainly looking unsettled. showery rain for many of us. quite breezy at times and then the temperatures tend to slip away as we look towards the end of this coming week. bye for now.

this is bbc news. the headlines... beirut locals are surveying the damage of an intense wave of strikes israel launched against the lebanese capital overnight. israel has issued a new call for residents to evacuate the area, as it continues to target infrastructure linked to hezbollah. the hamas—run health ministry says at least 24 people were killed and 93 others wounded when israeli air strikes hit a mosque and a school sheltering displaced people in the gaza strip early on sunday. the idf says that over 30 rockets have been fired overnight into israel's northernmost city. the iron dome defence system has blocked some, while others have landed. and anti—war protests are under way as october the 7th approaches. mass gatherings are taking place in capital cities calling for an end to violence. un secretary—general antonio
