3:09 pm
i do not want to use this to bring up dialogue and talk about many of the challenges me and hundreds and hundreds of other people face, years now after the nova, almost a year on. many people they struggle with all sorts of things from extreme to one way and the other way. there is a lot of conversation about it and i want to do through my photography is to talk about those things. tell photography is to talk about those things.— photography is to talk about those things. tell us about, if ou those things. tell us about, if you can. _ those things. tell us about, if you can. some _ those things. tell us about, if you can, some of— those things. tell us about, if you can, some of these - you can, some of these challenges that you refer to are generally about the difficulties of the dialogue across this divide? for sure. after the — across this divide? for sure. after the nova, _ after the nova, everybody�*s life was changed and one way or another. i met somebody who recently told me that he is choosing to go back and be in
3:10 pm
the idf because at least if he is in the idf he knows he has a place to sleep and he will be fed because he does not have a place of his own, he is not working. that is a choice and people have to make. others, some people have a hard time getting out of bed or going out with her friends, just doing things they had no problem doing prior. i cannot go to restaurants or any public place and not look over my shoulder once every few minutes. and once every few minutes. and what has _ once every few minutes. and what has been _ once every few minutes. and what has been the _ once every few minutes. and what has been the reaction to your project to mark very positive, very positive. l positive, very positive. i hosted an event on the 15th of september where i invited about a dozen of the survivors to come for yoga and meditation and yelling with delicious catered food and amazing people

3:13 pm
had to deal with. when people hear of the nova festival and it being near the forest, canadians, south americans and people from the uk and europe they think of a forest that is very different from the forests in israel. we had traces to kiss my arm, not much of a forest. so when people visit and see this memorial, not only do they see a reminder of all of the lives that were lost, but they see the utterly hopeless situation we were in with nowhere to go.— hopeless situation we were in with nowhere to go. thank you for taking _ with nowhere to go. thank you for taking time _ with nowhere to go. thank you for taking time today - with nowhere to go. thank you for taking time today on - with nowhere to go. thank you for taking time today on a - with nowhere to go. thank you for taking time today on a veryj for taking time today on a very difficult day for a and so many others, as the memory of what you went through a year ago is still so, so profound in your mind. thank you very much for joining us and very best wishes to you as you embark on your tour to try to make —— to take

3:15 pm
is still no end in sight. all from is now and back to you in london. thank you to lyse doucet and the team. this story is ongoing, there is another developing aspect to it. another developing story to bring you — a woman has been killed and eight people wounded in an attack on a bus station in the city of beersheba in southern israel. the attacker has been shot dead. the injured are being treated in a nearby hospital. police are investigating the attack, which is reported to have involved both stabbing and gunfire. we are keeping an eye across that. those explosions continue across israel. also across gaza and also in lebanon. now let's get the latest from lebanon, where israel has issued fresh evacuation orders, after a night of strikes on beirut. 0ur correspondent hugo bachega sent this update from sourthern beirut.
3:16 pm
this is one of the sites hit by israeli air strikes overnight here in southern beirut. and 12 hours later there is still smoke coming out from the rubble and there is a heavy smell in the air. residents say a sweet shop operated here and we can actually see some bags of the shop, and the israeli military has often accused hezbollah of hiding its facilities in residential areas and under civilian buildings. this is a built—up area here in beirut, not really far from the airport. and we have seen that nearby buildings have also been partially destroyed, heavily damaged and we have been told by residents that nearby residential buildings have been evacuated following orders by the israeli military. so this part of beirut,
3:17 pm
very much a target of the israeli army. we have a live page on the bbc website where we will monitor and day the fast—moving developments across the middle east. now it's time for a look at today's sport. two games are underway in the premier league. the result of the game at villa park could have a huge bearing on erik ten hag's future at manchester united. they are into the second half, and it's villa 0
3:18 pm
man united 0. harry maguire forced off at halftime with a leg injury. fourth place chelsea are drawing 1—1 at home to nottingham forest chris wood scoring early in the second half before noni madueke equalized. later brighton take on tottenham at home spurs are on a run of five wins in a row in all competitions. i think we have been consistent all year. got the rewards for the performance, that always kind of makes you even more eager to keep pushing on and get better and see what level we can reach. i think we are a developing site, we are very much a young side. real madrid captain dani carvajal will be out for several months after suffering a serious knee injury during their la liga win over villarreal on saturday. the 32—year—old defender,
3:19 pm
who won the euros with spain this summer, tangled with yeremy pino in stoppage time before being carried off. he has ruptured ligaments in his right knee. carvajal posted on social media ?looking forward to starting the recovery process and coming back like an animal�* translation: a player like dani is so key. - always there and always motivated. when a player like that get injured, it affects the whole team. last season, we reacted well after the big injuries we had. but we need to do the same again this season. hopefully these injuries could be a spark for the rest of the players, just as it was last season. coco gauff has won
3:20 pm
the china open in beijing. it was a one sided final as she swept aside — the unseeded karolina muchova for her second title of the year, 6—1, 6—3. it's gauffs 8th career title and she has an incredible record on hardcourts. she is the first wta player in the open era to win each of their first seven finals on that surface. her other title came on clay meanwhile world noi jannik sinner had to come from a set down against argentina's tomas martin etcheverry to reach the last 16 of the shanghai masters. etcheverry took the first set on a tie break, before sinner went on to take the next two fairly comfortable he'll play roberto carballes baena or ben shelton india have their first win at the women's t20 world cup, beating pakistan by 6 wickets in dubai. pakistan won the toss and batted first but struggled to get any meaningful parternship going,

3:22 pm
the sport for now. the prime minister's top adviser sue gray has resigned from her position as downing street chief of staff. she said she was standing down because it had become clear that intense commentary around her position risked becoming a distraction to the government's vital work of change. it had recently been revealed she earned more than the pm. in a written statement, sir keir starmer thanked her for all the support she had given him , both in opposition and in government. 0ur political correspondent harry farley has more details. sue gray has resigned, there is a wider shake—up of downing street staff going on this afternoon. these are people we don't normally hear about, they are not politicians, they are the staff and advisers behind the scenes. sue gray has risen to prominence in recent months. before joining keir starmer�*s team as the chief of staff when he was the leader of the opposition. before the election she was a long—time civil servant, she authored the report into the previous prime minister's boris johnson's parties.
3:23 pm
she received a lot of criticism when she joined the labour party. part of her role was giving the party up to speed for government and she was the chief of staff when keir starmer went and moved into downing street a few weeks ago and already we're having this major shake—up of that staffing operation. sue gray is she will now be their prime minister's envoy for regions and nations. the mastermind behind labour's election, he is the now chief of staff. a significant moving of the deckchairs i suppose in downing street. with exactly a month to go until the us presidential election, donald trump has addressed a rally at the town in pennsylvania where he narrowly survived an assassination attempt. will grant reports. as i was saying... in the same spot where he was almost killed three months ago, donald trump took to the stage
3:24 pm
in bullish and defiant mood and 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 in his... 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. formerfire chief corey comperatore. his helmet and uniform on display and his grieving family in attendance for a minute's silence in his honour. this time, amid much tighter security and from behind bullet—proof glass, mr trump repeated his calls for his supporters to secure his
3:25 pm
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! take over. we had one president who couldn't climb a flight of stairs, and another who was fist pumping after getting shot. fight, fight, fight! blood coming down the face! 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 now synonymous with a presidential shooting. but some supporters see the hand of history, even divine intervention in his brush with death.
3:26 pm
ijust felt obligated to come. i felt like it was like 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, and the people of butler know their town could still influence this election via the ballot box rather than the gun. you are watching bbc news. hello there. good afternoon. some rather unsettled conditions, weather—wise, for the next few days. it's a very messy picture with some showers, longer spells of rain, but also some brightness and some sunshine. although where we saw the best of the blue skies yesterday, it's now turned rather cloudy. and there will be some more showers through the rest of the day, mostly out towards the west. that's because there's a deep area of low pressure
3:27 pm
towards the west of ireland. with all of these showers spiralling around it, brisk winds for a time too up through the irish sea coast. so the heaviest of the downpours through this afternoon will tend to be across wales, down through south west england. maybe a rumble or two of thunder here. some showers too, affecting north west england, southwest scotland. further east, it's drier, but there will be a lot more cloud than yesterday, so not feeling quite as warm, but still temperatures around about the seasonal average, if not a little above and it will stay mild by night. now, you can see all of these fronts just gradually pushing their way further northwards and eastwards through tonight. some clear spells for a time, notably across northern areas of england. so here, temperatures could drop back into high single figures perhaps, but another fairly mild start to the day on monday, and it's more of the same. could be some longer spells of rain across northern and eastern areas of scotland, with those fronts just towards the north of us, but some more heavy, thundery showers pushing into south west england by the time we get to the end of the day. but it's a day of sunny spells and showers, feeling warm again in the best of the sunshine. 18 or 19 degrees perhaps.
3:28 pm
more showers affecting much of the uk as we head through tuesday. some brightness, some spells of sunshine in between. once again, we'll see temperatures peak at 13 to 18 celsius, but it's all change on wednesday. now we look out towards the atlantic. this deep area of low pressure contains the remnants of hurricane kirk. at the moment, it's forecast to bring the worst of the weather across parts of the near continent. but it won't take too much for this very heavy rain to push into parts of kent and east sussex as we head through the afternoon. temperature—wise again, it's still feeling warm towards the south, colder air digging in further north, but it's as that deep low moves away that we'll see some very brisk winds indeed down through north sea—facing coasts. so do keep an eye on the forecast. and then as we draw down, more of a northerly wind. temperatures are set to dip as we head towards the end of the working week. so here's the outlook for our capital cities. notice how it's going to be turning a lot chillier.
3:30 pm
this is bbc news. the headlines. israel continues bombing lebanon. massive explosions rock the capital beirut through the night and into the day. smoke from strikes keeps lingering over beirut. israel has issued fresh evacuation orders for residents in southern lebanon. here in the uk — a new research on a revolutionary treatment aims to discover why immunotherapy fails to work for most cancer patients.
