reach a deal and if they will help to release the hostages, that will help to end the misery in gaza where there is people killed every day and destruction so it is marking one year of war, tragedy and pain so the call from these people there is the family of hostages and supporters is to end this war, it is to reach a deal, it's too reach out and call for peace so hopefully this momentum will help to put some pressure to ease the tension, especially between iran and israel. we tension, especially between iran and israel.— tension, especially between iran and israel. we are seeing the image _ iran and israel. we are seeing the image of— iran and israel. we are seeing the image of the _ iran and israel. we are seeing the image of the family - iran and israel. we are seeing - the image of the family members who have either lost family members or are still being held hostage by hamas. one year on. of course today as you say marks a year for the people in gaza, since the war began, 41,000 people having lost their lives, 2 million displaced. a day of mourning for many people

and we've also got some breaking news now in terms of the latest that we are hearing so we are hearing the israeli military is saying one soldier has been killed in combat, that's on the obolon�*s border with israel, two severely injured. the idf began its fight against lebanese hezbollah group last monday with frequent cross fighting border since then. two soldiers severely injured, one killed. we will continue to watch the events going on and as we have seen we have protests occurring outside benjamin netanyahu's residents from family members who are calling for a change, saying the government needs to do more to get a hostages home and we've also been showing you live pictures from okri three where we are seeing one year on from the nova music festival hundreds of people lost their lives and dozens kidnapped —— from re'im. for more on all of

this and the escalation in the region earlier, i spoke to rander slim. she told me how surprised she has been by how quickly this conflict escalated as well as her escalation about whether there is any diplomacy to prevent a wider conflict? == to prevent a wider conflict? -- randa slim. _ to prevent a wider conflict? -- randa slim. i _ to prevent a wider conflict? » randa slim. i am surprised by how quickly this escalated and i think the turning point was the assassination of the hezbollah leader mazarelo and i think since then, rubicon has been crossed for the israelis and hezbollah —— nasrallah. i think israel is now a more focused on the objective which, in my opinion, is going to be very hard if not impossible of decimating hezbollah and hezbollah is going now back to its mission of resistance. it has been decapitated, yes, it

has been decapitated, yes, it has been decapitated, yes, it has been weakened but the invasion of southern lebanon by israel has given it a lifeline and a new mission and its rallying people behind it. we saw that israel—hezbollah war in 2006 and now arguably israel's capacities are greater and its intelligence so what can both sides learn from the previous conflict and what might this conflict look like as a result of that experience? well, it's going to be bloodier, i think. well, it's going to be bloodier, ithink. israel well, it's going to be bloodier, i think. israel have said it's going to be a limited operation but if you follow the evacuation orders that are being issued by the israeli army on a daily basis in terms of how many villages in southern lebanon have to be evacuated, one gets the impression, definitely, but

it's not going to be limited because these villages are way, way beyond the litani river, the line where supposedly you pass the security council resolution with hezbollah forces need to withdraw from the border so i mean, that's one lesson, i think it is going to be bloodier. for israel, it has to underground warfare because most of hezbollah�*s weapons are stored in underground tunnels. both sides, hezbollah and israel, have prepared for this. israel said we learned the lessons from 2006 and we have prepared for the war. hezbollah have also prepared. they have been storing weapons, allotting weapons, getting capacities in terms of precision guided missiles. i have not choose them yet —— used them yet, they are still using rockets and we don't know if they will use them in the futures of the lesson to be learned is it's going to be bloodier and like

in the past, you know, they started by saying it will be limited, israel said, but eventually the dynamics inaudible and they start getting entangled more and more in the fight and the terrain. the terrain favours a defender, not the attacker. although as i said israel has prepared for it, still, the terrain in south lebanon is difficult to navigate and it will favour hezbollah.— navigate and it will favour hezbollah. . ., ,, ., hezbollah. randa slim spoke to me earlier- _ hezbollah. randa slim spoke to me earlier. this _ hezbollah. randa slim spoke to me earlier. this is _ hezbollah. randa slim spoke to me earlier. this is in _ hezbollah. randa slim spoke to me earlier. this is in the - me earlier. this is in the kibbutz of re'im where exactly one year ago, we saw the attacks, the october seven attacks, the october seven attacks begin. this was the site of the nova music festival where 364 people were killed in this attack. dozens were taken hostage. they are holding a commemorative memorial, including playing the music

we can see the bereaved family members there who have lost people last year in the october seven attacks and, of course, that's a bit re'im kibbutz where the nova festival took place and we understand about 364 people lost their lives when gunmen entered the festival, the same time as missiles were launched. 40 people taken hostage. also seen pictures from jerusalem with family members standing outside the home of benjamin netanyahu, protesting, calling for the return of their family members, saying it has been an unimaginably terrible year for them. they said they wanted them. they said they wanted them returned. they want those who are alive returned. there is more of all of this on the bbc news website. please do check out our live page. you are watching bbc news.

hello. the next couple of days will bring some big shower clouds. downpours with thunder and lightning possible but also some decent sunny spells — all because of this low pressure, which will hang around for a while and give us this changeable weather. here is a snapshot of the morning on monday. temperatures hovering between 8—11 celsius. for some of us, it will start dry but other also have rain — particularly in and eastern scotland. then, it is difficult to sum up the day. it will be changing. some areas will have heavy showers. for others, it will be generally dry with prolonged spells of sunshine. but where the sun comes out for any lengthy period, temperatures could get to 18 or 19 degrees. but don't be caught out by the heavy showers — take a brollyjust in case. more of the same on tuesday. this is a slow—moving area of low pressure, so the weather is not really changing an awful lot but the distribution of the showers is going to be different

between one day and the next. temperatures again — about the high teens in the south of the country but further north, around 12 celsius, so quite a bit colder. midweek, we are watching hurricane kirk in the atlantic. this is the satellite picture from now on. as the storm moves northwards and becomes an ex—hurricane, it will be caught in the jet stream and propelled to western parts of europe. we are increasingly confident that the worst of the storm will track to the south of us but as the storm reaches western europe, it will sharply curve towards the left, northwards, and mayjust clip southeastern parts of the uk, but it's a small chance. let's have a look at wednesday. showers and cool weather across many northern and eastern areas with some sunshine out towards the west. here you can see the edge of the rain associated with kirk, that ex—hurricane, with gusty winds moving across france. 9 in northern scotland, 17 in the south—east of england.

through the course of wednesday evening to thursday, look how close that low pressure is to southeastern parts of the country. and gale force winds are possible around east anglia, the south east of england for a time, particularly coastal areas as the low pressure pulls away towards, say, germany. so, here is the outlook then for the week. really showery picture first half of the week. then, we are watching possibly kirk just brushing us midweek and then end of the week, brighter but quite a bit colder. bye— bye.

live from london, this is bbc news. i'm ben thompson and we're on—air. it's 12 months on from the october 7 attacks. people across israel are remembering those killed in the hamas attacks. later on monday, there will be an official ceremony in jerusalem. president isaac herzog will lead a memorial at daybreak in sderot, the closest israeli city to gaza, to mark the moment it came under attack one year ago. this is the scene live in rei'm in israel where a commemoration is taking place to remember the victims of the attack by hamas gunmen on the nova musicalfestival on the morning of october 7 exactly one year ago. earlier, they played the very last track that was played
