anniversary of the october 7 hamas attacks, that killed more than 1,200 people. israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu vows to press on with operations in gaza and lebanon, even as regional tensions flare, with israel coming under rocket fire. hurricane milton strengthens to a category five storm as it heads for florida, with warnings it could be the worst storm to hit tampa in 100 years. hello, i'm a very welcome. —— caitriona perry. you are very welcome. israelis have spent october 7 remembering the 12 hundred who were killed one year ago to the day, as well as the many others

who were abducted and later died in captivity. it was 6.30 in the morning, on october 7, when fighters from hamas and other groups crossed the southern border from gaza, and inflicted the worst single mass killing of israelis, in the nation's history. the gunmen from hamas broke through the border fence, rampaging through nearby villages, kibbutzes, military posts and a music festival. they torched homes, shooting and killing indiscriminately. hamas is designated as a terrorist organisation by the us, uk and other governments. according to israel, 251 of its citizens and foreigners were taken hostage into gaza. one year on, around 100 people remain unaccounted for. the events of last year have transformed israel and the region, including in gaza where nearly 42,000 people have been killed in israel's response. israeli bombs continued to fall on the territory today. tonight, beirut is being rocked by explosions as israel continues its campaign against hezbollah. but we start with the day of commemorations in israel as it remembered, one year on.

clive myrie reports from tel aviv. their tears are shared. there's a solidarity in this nation's sorrow, uniting strangers and friends, rich and poor, young and old. as a still—traumatised people mourn, thousands gathered today in southern israel, remembering the 383 people killed at the nova music festival. what's also being mourned is the death of promise, because so many young lives yet to be lived were snatched away.

ask danielle, a survivor of the horror of october 7, in her early 20s. 0ur conversation about how she ran for cover, broken by the sound of artillery fire as war rages not far away in gaza. i rememberfor a few minutes, just running, not knowing where to go. and the war continues. it continues, a year later and it continues, and it's very sad to say, but i'm kind of use to it by now. i'm only 23, i think it's best that i am used to rockets and missiles, and terror attacks. imean... that is such a tragedy. i don't know how, how is it possible that one year later, we still have 101 hostages? a few miles away from here. beneath the collective trauma, there are divisions. here in tel aviv, it's the bereaved families of the hostages still being held in gaza who are holding this commemoration. while tonight, there will be

a different ceremony on behalf of the government — pre—recorded without an audience and was later broadcast on television. how best to get the hostages home? how best to turn military victories into longer—lasting political solutions? those are the big questions and fault lines. but for now, there's collective silence, to remember. do you think you will ever get over your experience of what happened ? i hope so. i don't know, but i hope so. i'm wishing i will. i'm surrounded by amazing people. the whole nova community is my new family, so i am hoping i'm going to be ok, and i have to believe in that. but will israel be ok? israel's prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, stayed away from the public

ceremonies, instead releasing a pre—recorded statement. he also addressed his cabinet. translation: embers of the government, citizens of israel, we are gathering today for a special morning meeting. one—year ago hamas terrorist launched a murderous surprise attack against the state of israel. against the citizens of israel. against the citizens of israel. shortly after that massacre i said, we are israel. shortly after that massacre i said, we are in israel. shortly after that massacre i said, we are in a war. not an operation. we will fight back with the force the enemy has never known. we are at war and we will win it. since that black day, we have been fighting. this is a war for our existence. the war of resurrection, that is how i would like to officially call the war. we are changing the security reality of our region, for the sake of our children,

ourfuture and to for the sake of our children, our future and to ensure what happened on october seven will not happen again. israel's response to hamas�*s unprecedented cross—border attack has had a devastating impact on the people of gaza. last october, areas across the north of gaza were targeted and israel began a full scale ground invasion at the end of the month. gaza city was pounded, along with other urban centres. hundreds of thousands of people began to flee south. then the air strikes spread to southern cities. by the end ofjanuary more than half of gaza's buildings had been damaged or destroyed. an analysis of satellite data now shows that close to two thirds of buildings across the gaza strip have been hit. the hamas—run gaza health ministry says almost 42,000 people have been killed, most of them civilians. the bbc�*s rushdi abualouf, who has reported from gaza for decades, spent weeks documenting the conflict from inside the territory, only leaving with his family on 20 november for the sake of their safety. he shared his reflections, a year after the war that

forced him from his home. suddenly restarted to see rockets ply from all over gaza. we quickly realised something big is happening. when i drove this morning... big is happening. when i drove this morning. . ._ this morning... that science like it was — this morning... that science like it was quite _ this morning... that science like it was quite close - this morning... that science like it was quite close to - like it was quite close to your? like it was quite close to our? ~ ., like it was quite close to our? ~ . . ., . like it was quite close to our? . . ., . ., your? we had the chance to live at 20 november _ your? we had the chance to live at 20 november and _ your? we had the chance to live at 20 november and we - your? we had the chance to live at 20 november and we left - your? we had the chance to live at 20 november and we left to i at 20 november and we left to egypt and then to istanbul. accessing the office was restricted during the night from day to make of the war. so i used to do my reporting from my house. israel decided to close the border and allow any foreign journalist to close the border and allow any foreignjournalist to go close the border and allow any foreign journalist to go into

gaza. one—year wrong, still the egyptian and israelis are not allowing foreign journalists and this makes it hard for independentjournalists and this makes it hard for independent journalists to verify the information. sometimes it takes hours to verify once more information out of gaza. it is always difficult to contact people and always difficult to get the story from people who live in this war. you know, journalism is all about being able to talk to people and hear their voices and since the bbc has no independentjournalists and since the bbc has no independent journalists working from gaza now anymore, we are allowing on freelancers to get some of the information and testimony from the survivors. we are trying to contact people on a daily basis and get their story... janti soeripto is president and chief executive officer of save the children us. i asked her about the current situation in gaza.

your operation, you have considerable operation within gaza at the moment. tell us, what is the current situation like there? we saw further israel defence force orders to evacuate and strikes today. thank you. over the past 12 months at odds have consistently found children. that much is clear. we saw on october seven israeli children were killed. many were taken hostage and some are still held hostage. over40,000 hostage and some are still held hostage. over 40,000 people in gaza are dead. many, many of them, 40,000 reported to be children. —— 14,000. them, 40,000 reported to be children. ——14,000. i was there in march and thought it was really bad then and it has gotten worse over these last months and weeks, sadly. the access for us is difficult for us to do consistently safely across the gaza strip. made coming in has really slowed down to a trickle. land routes,

crossings have not been consistently open at capacity. and in the end children in particular are bearing the brunt. the number of children killed in this conflict surpass many global complex over the. for the last four years we have seen thousands of children had lost a parent or both parents coming over when thousand children have lost limbs. the list goes on. and the so loud it drowns... we keep saying the same thing, it thing, it drowns it out. we keep saying it because it is still getting worse. ., , ., because it is still getting worse. ., worse. on that point you make about getting _ worse. on that point you make about getting aid _ worse. on that point you make about getting aid into - worse. on that point you make about getting aid into gaza, i about getting aid into gaza, when it comes to food, water, medical supplies, all the aid you need, tell us about the current situation there. there have been ebbs and flows but you said it is very difficult now. �* , , ., you said it is very difficult now. ~ ,, ., ., , now. amps and flows. some good. the best period _ now. amps and flows. some good. the best period was _ now. amps and flows. some good. the best period was last _ now. amps and flows. some good.

the best period was last year, - the best period was last year, november, when we had that short window of a truce, where it was really, where the bombing stopped and aid got in. but that has been the sole window of opportunity and was only seven or eight days. we had some uplift in early april and now over these past months it has really slowed down to a trickle. i think we are talking 50 or so trucks a day. 10% of what it used to be and certainly a fraction of what it would need to be. we saw three weeks ago a little bit again, a sliver of hope, and there was a slight pause, one could not call it a truce, wednesday the children and many other humanitarian organisations work together with the who to effectively vaccinate children against polio, which is now made a resurgent into gaza. that happened remarkably quickly. huge outpouring of parents coming to have their children vaccinated. at least

at first, that first vital dose, and we would need to do that again in four weeks time to get the adequate dosage. just tojump in to get the adequate dosage. just to jump in there, tell us how people are managing to survive, to exist, one—year on. it is remarkable. look, there is not enough food back not enough clean water, no solid waste disposal. so the conditions are incredibly unhygienic. when i was there in march, i saw a lot of kids, first and foremost, without adequate clothing and shoes but they all had, they were undernourished, coughing, definitely respiratory illnesses, rashes, suffering from the effects of months and months of neglect and poor access to healthca re months of neglect and poor access to healthcare and food and clean water. that has not gotten any better. cumulative tea, their ability to have an immune system that withstands

possible disease or even deal with not having enough food is reduced day after day after day. —— cumulatively this evening, israel has again hit targets in the south of the lebanese capital, beirut. the stakes of its war against hezbollah were brought home to israel on sunday, when rockets fired by hezbollah from lebanon, managed to penetrate air defences and hit the port city of haifa. the israeli military says it's investigating how that happened. on the ground in beirut, our correspondent, anna foster, says the evenings are particularly tense as the threat of israeli strikes escalate. when it gets around midnight local time we see warnings put up local time we see warnings put up by local time we see warnings put up by the israeli military telling people to leave certain parts of the southern suburbs, it's worth saying a lot of already. many people have fled those areas are not israeli air strikes come with warnings but these once overnights do. we

have already seen several this evening. that tension is felt not just evening. that tension is felt notjust here in the capital but also down in the south as well. in the south of lebanon, the israeli air force today they carried out when particular operation with 100 flat plain. they hid in less than an houraround flat plain. they hid in less than an hour around 102 and has blah targets and have also put out a new morning today selling people in the southern parts of lebanon to stay out of the sea, off the beaches. they've asked fishermen in boats to stay off rivers. they say they are going to actually tackle hezbollah in the maritime space as well. i'm not sure what specific thread that relates to but it all feeds into this increasing escalation that we are seeing. benjamin netanyahu, says israel faces enemies far and wide from hamas in gaza, to the powerful militia group hezbollah in lebanon. there are adversaries in syria to the north, and then there's the houthi movement in yemen. israel says all her enemies,

are ultimately backed by iran. our international editor, jeremy bowen, looks now at the conflicts running across the middle east. ordinary civilians out of areas and bombing areas that israel is is a strong points for hezbollah mac. in south lebanon, israel has flattened border villages to beef up the invaderforce border villages to beef up the invader force israelis are mobilising thousands more reservists.— reservists. prime minister benjamin _ reservists. prime minister benjamin netanyahu - reservists. prime minister benjamin netanyahu to, l reservists. prime minister. benjamin netanyahu to, up reservists. prime minister - benjamin netanyahu to, up near the lebanon border was briefed about the damage israeli forces are doing to hezbollah mac. now he must decide where this goes and where it might end. israel's dilemmas, challenges and divisions come together in the square in tel aviv. supporters and families of hostages taken by hamas over

here to try to keep the names and plight of the missing top of israel's agenda. they are worried there is a different focus just across the road. over there is israel's military headquarters and they are making big decisions at the moment about how exactly to respond to a run's list dick mr on this country last week. here is the place where supporters of the israeli hostages in gaza have been holding a visual and they are worried that the country fighting on multiple fronts will make the hostages a low priority. this dinner table has been waiting for the israelis held in gaza now for a year. iran's missile attack was response to israel's destructive offence in 11 on. israel will hit back. pressure is growing to attack big

targets, including nuclear facilities that could be used to make a bomb. the americans fearing that my drag them into a war have asked israel not to respond to this by hitting nuclear sites or is there a run's oil industry. thinks it makes sense for israel to do as the americans ask. i makes sense for israel to do as the americans ask.— the americans ask. i think israel will _ the americans ask. i think israel will listen _ the americans ask. i think israel will listen because l the americans ask. i think i israel will listen because we need them for the next stages and i think... i don't think it will be stopped our response. we are in a delicate point in time and we're going for an escalation. therefore for escalation. therefore for escalation we need the american.— escalation we need the american. ~ , ., american. the australia's release — american. the australia's release video _ american. the australia's release video of- american. the australia's release video of their - american. the australia's - release video of their soldiers in lebanon on. they also want their enemies to fear them again after hamas inflicted their worst defeat a year ago. injerusalem, a leading in jerusalem, a leading right—wing injerusalem, a leading right—wing politician said this is a time for strength, not diplomacy. if is a time for strength, not diplomacy-— is a time for strength, not

a defence system to protect the earth from being hit by dangerous objects from outer space. it's to follow a nasa mission which tried to deliberately deflect an asteroid called dimorphos. nasa's dart spacecraft crashed into dimorphos two years ago. a telescope captured the dust and debris that was hurled into space. hera is on a two—yearjourney which takes it past mars and eventually to its destination. it's going to take a closer look at the damage with a battery of instruments. the spacecraft will come within 200 metres of dimorphos and deploy two shoebox—sized mini spacecraft that will look closer still. what did dart actually due to this asteroid? is there a crater? how big is that crater? did we actually, instead of making a crater, deform the entire body? that's what we think might have happened. an asteroid wiped out the dinosaurs 66 million years ago. collisions with smaller

objects occur more often, like this giant meteor strike in russia in 2013. the hope is that next time, we'll be better prepared. pallab ghosh, bbc news. magazine says her era's tour has been the biggest boost to her wealth. has been the biggest boost to herwealth. rhianna became has been the biggest boost to her wealth. rhianna became a billionaire thanks to her cosmetics and fashion brands. that are set for the moment. thank you so much for watching. i'm caitriona perry. stay here on bbc news. take care.

hello. a lot going on with our weather right now. we're going to see some heavy downpours for the next couple of days, then it will turn colder. we've got low pressure in charge — you can see areas of clouds circulating around that. there's also another deep area of low pressure in the mix. this is ex—hurricane kirk — this will stay to the south of us, but it will essentially join forces with our low. some heavy downpours over the next couple of days, then the whole lot shifts eastwards, leaving us with northerly winds and something significantly colder. but in the short—term for tuesday, still relatively mild, actually, with a mix of some sunshine, yes, but also some really heavy, thundery downpours. a band of cloud and rain moving slowly northwards across the far north of england, northern ireland, into southern scotland — some parts of south—east scotland looking very wet, indeed. northern scotland seeing a fair amount of cloud, it'll be windy, some spots of rain and drizzle. and then, further south, it is that mix of sunshine

and showers, but some of the showers really heavy with some hail and thunder, the winds strengthening down towards the south—west. temperatures north to south between 10—18 celsius, and then, these various clumps of showery rain just continue to circulate around that area of low pressure as we head on into the first part of wednesday. but these northerly winds will be strengthening up towards the north of the uk — things here will start to feel colder, and that cold air will start to sink a little bit further south as we go through the day on wednesday. still some showery rain across parts of eastern scotland, north—east england, sunny spells and showers elsewhere. but, while it will remain relatively mild in the south, as those northerly winds strengthen, we could see gusts of 40—50mph in the north — it will really start to feel quite a lot colder. temperatures at best in lerwick, stornoway, aberdeen at 9 celsius. and by thursday, that cold air will sink even further southwards. now there should be a fair

amount of sunshine around on thursday, 1—2 showers — some of those showers wintry over the highest ground in scotland. and have a look at these — these are the afternoon highs we're expecting, north to south around 8—12, maybe 13 degrees. and we stick with that chilly feel for the end of the week. the weekend bringing some rain towards the north and the west, drier conditions further south and east.
