texas and don't worry, we will explain that all in a moment, but first let's go to that incredible scene. the feat means it will be easier to reuse the launch technology to make space flights more often, and more cheaply. there were cheers in the space c control room in texas as the device, known as the super heavy booster, successfully lowered itself into mechanical claws known as the chopsticks, marking its safe return to earth. one person said it was completely insane. we will show you that moment right here. the clause you are looking at a right to that which are about to grab that end part of the rockets, those are the chopsticks we are talking about. elon musk has said he wants his new rocket to revolutionise spaceflight and is hoping to develop a spaceship that can be used more like a plane than a traditional rocket system. this system breaks up when it returns to earth. our science correspondent pallab ghosh explained the significance of this test launch. well, in one word, wow. those pictures say it all.

we have to say, this is not an animation, this really happened. so, sending rockets into space is hard enough but for the first time, the first stage always separates, the first stage is to give it that push up into space, and generally they are just kind of thrown away, but on this occasion, they did a bit of acrobatics, they turned the rocket on its head and they guided it back to the launch pad and then slowed it down with a couple of burns and then gently brought it back to the launch pad, and as we saw, captured it with a couple of prongs on the launch pad called chopsticks. and the whole idea is to reuse the booster. you talked about it being like a plane flight — just imagine you took a trip to the states on a plane and they threw the plane away and they had to build a whole new plane for your flight back. you and i would not be able to afford it.

no. so that is the whole idea, to reuse the bits that are normally thrown away. and i just can't say how difficult this was. there were so many things that needed to go right both with the rocket, booster and launch pad technology, and this was the first time they tried it. i did not think they were going to succeed but they seemed to do it pretty successfully and there may have been one or two things that have gone wrong, but the pictures speak for themselves. and what is that bigger context here? what could this mean for space travel and also elon musk�*s own grand designs about mars even? well, i am old enough to remember the apollo missions to the moon where astronauts did set foot on the moon in the late �*60s and �*70s and then stopped going for decades because it was too expensive. now the plan is notjust to go back but to stay there and have a long—term presence and build infrastructure. it was so expensive back in the �*60s and

�*70s, theyjust did it for geopolitical reasons. now they are trying to do it for commercial reasons, to build new industries. so this is part of an effort to lower the cost of space flight and notjust go to the moon once or twice and have a day trip, but to go there and stay there, and the ultimate aim is to build a spacecraft that can take up to 100 astronauts. can you believe that? you said it was about geopolitics in the �*60s but there is still a space race going on, though, isn't there? you are absolutely right, for decades congress were not interested in sending astronauts back to the moon even though presidents kept saying they wanted to, but the moment china said it wanted to send an astronaut to the moon — "oh, this is about national security", and all of a sudden the budget lines had two or three zeroes added to them. that is what we are seeing. elon musk is running a private sector company but it is

receiving a huge public sector subsidy to help it develop these technologies and the idea is to reduce the cost of space travel so the private sector can start making money out of it and it doesn't cost the taxpayer very much at all. that was my colleague, pallab ghosh. and we have a live page on our bbc news website if you want to see more on that story and the latest pictures. now to the latest on the middle east — and my colleagues anna foster in beirut — but first lyse doucet is injerusalem. you join us youjoin us in you join us in jerusalem you join us injerusalem on a day when israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has issued a stark call to un secretary—general antonio guterres, telling him he must immediately pull out un peacekeepers known as uni fell

from combat areas, hezbollah strongholds in southern lebanon and in effect said the un peacekeepers were being held hostage by hezbollah. mr secretary—general, get the unifil_ secretary—general, get the unifil forces out of harm's wax — unifil forces out of harm's wax this _ unifil forces out of harm's way. this should be done immediately.— way. this should be done immediatel . , immediately. idf came under fire from israeli _ immediately. idf came under fire from israeli forces - immediately. idf came under fire from israeli forces in - fire from israeli forces in three separate incidents —— vote came underfire. the targeted a watch tower at one of the main positions and the un secretary—general once there had been violations of international humanitarian law. this comes at a rock bottom point in relations between the united nations and israel and the israeli foreign secretary recently declared antonio guterres persona non grata, and

we will hear from anna. about lebanon's response to this call from the prime minister. in gaza — at least 29 people have been killed in israeli airstrikes in central and northern areas. in the north of the coastal enclave, israeli forces have intensified their operations, intensified their operations, in particular, encircling the largest refugee camp in jabalia. palestinian officials say 150 palestinians were killed in this period in what is red has been saying that civilians should leave this area, there is growing concern about the humanitarian cost. and at a time when the world food programme said none of that food, that desperately needed humanitarian aid, has entered the gaza strip since the beginning of october and

the beginning of october and the un's world food programme say they are not sure there are enough food stocks in gaza to kept people fed. for a closer look at what israel has been doing injabalia, i have been speaking to the founder and director of the forward thinking organisation, an ngo which tries to talk to all sides in the middle east. even when the americans were saying, oh, we are close to agreement, i understand there was even then no real communication going on. it was either wishful thinking or, again, playing out in the background of the democratic convention that was going on at the time. but certainly the feedback i have been getting, there has been no serious attempt to address the hostages situation. when i was injerusalem ten days ago and had meetings in the knesset, the message then was very much,

"look, we have to focus on the security of the 10 million", hence the operations in lebanon. and sadly, the 100 or so still kept in gaza has not been given priority. i think that is the reality we have seen being acted out over the last ten days. that was oliver mcternan. one of the main confrontations on people's mind across the middle east and in capitals beyond is the expected israeli retaliation for iran's retaliatory strike and the israeli security cabinet is expected to meet this evening and we understand they will take a look at the possible targets in the midst of american warnings that they should not attack iran's nuclear facilities. should not attack iran's nuclearfacilities. but should not attack iran's nuclear facilities. but as concerns rise over israel's possibly having to take another retaliatory strike on iran, there are reports in the israeli media that the un fell

united states is considering providing israel with another advanced missile defence system, known by its acronym which refers to terminal high altitude area defence, and it is a ground system designed to intercept short, medium and intermediate ballistic missiles. —— the united states is considering providing. this has not been confirmed but it would require american boots on the ground and we understand no decision yet has been made on that. in the midst of this rising expectation of an israeli attack, the iranian foreign minister has been touring the region and saying iran does not want war but it would have to respond if israel did attack, and he also said that iran had no red lines when it came to protecting iranians interests and people. so, what would be the significance of the deployment of this missile

system? we have heard from the former editor in chief of the jerusalem post. it former editor in chief of the jerusalem post.— jerusalem post. it is a very bi jerusalem post. it is a very his move _ jerusalem post. it is a very big move because - jerusalem post. it is a very big move because until- jerusalem post. it is a very| big move because until now jerusalem post. it is a very - big move because until now they have _ big move because until now they have supported israel and defended israel with assets they— defended israel with assets they have had deployed throughout the region, whether aircraft — throughout the region, whether aircraft or— throughout the region, whether aircraft or through radar or baiiistic— aircraft or through radar or ballistic missile defence systems deployed in places like the persian gulf, iraq or syria. _ the persian gulf, iraq or syria, but now this would actually _ syria, but now this would actually be on the ground in israei— actually be on the ground in israel with what we could even call it— israel with what we could even call it boots on the ground because _ call it boots on the ground because it would require us troops — because it would require us troops to operate the system and that — troops to operate the system and that would be a significant step— and that would be a significant step by— and that would be a significant step by the president and i think— step by the president and i think it _ step by the president and i think it would show to things, on the — think it would show to things, on the one hand, to show israei. _ on the one hand, to show israel, hear, america stands with— israel, hear, america stands with you _ israel, hear, america stands with you and we have your back in case — with you and we have your back in case you _ with you and we have your back in case you are attacked by the irahiahs, — in case you are attacked by the iranians, but it also shows the irahiahs, — iranians, but it also shows the iranians, hezbollah, hamas, the houthis— iranians, hezbollah, hamas, the houthis and any of these other proxies— houthis and any of these other proxies attacking israel that the us— proxies attacking israel that the us is on the side of israel

alex salmond — who's died aged 69. the king said mr salmond's "devotion to scotland drove his catriona renton reports. outside his family home in aberdeenshire, tributes have been paid to alex salmond. his majesty the king offered his condolences to mr salmond's wife, moira, and family, as did those who knew him across the political spectrum. prime minister sir keir starmer and david cameron, who was the prime minister when the historic edinburgh agreement was signed, paving the way for the referendum on scottish independence. the former first minister of scotland had been speaking at an event in north macedonia about the 10th anniversary of the independence referendum, when he took ill. the entire hotel, the entire conference, everyone was in shock. most of the participants here were young leaders and none of them had ever experienced anything like this. and i think there was a feeling of shock. there was a feeling of loss. you don't really know what to do. alex salmond was a formidable force in scottish politics. he led the snp twice, transforming it from

a party of the fringes to the party of government in scotland. that's undeniable. the idea of independence for most of my political lifetime was as a peripheral concept in scottish politics, and it essentially is a central argument to how our country progresses, and that's come about as a consequence of the efforts that have been put in over these last 30, 40 years. amongst his legacy is how close he drove scotland to becoming an independent country, winning 45% of the vote in the referendum in 2014. his friends have been giving an insight into the man they knew. he was a lot of fun. he was very entertaining. he had great humanity. he was probably, i think, one of the greatest political thinkers that certainly scotland has ever produced, and i think possibly these islands have ever produced. alex salmond was replaced by his mentee, nicola sturgeon.

their close relationship fractured in recent years. allegations of sexual misconduct against mr salmond during his time as first minister emerged. he was cleared of all charges. alex salmond's body will be repatriated to his beloved scotland in the coming days. his death at the age of 69 marks the end of a political era. katrina renton, bbc news. stay with us here on bbc news. plenty more to come. good afternoon. a lot of dry weather to close out this weekend. we did start the morning with some sunshine in eastern areas but the clouds thickening all the time from the west because these weather fronts will arrive in the south—west of england overnight tonight. with all the cloud around

it is going to feel quite chilly for this stage in october, 7—11 c — our the afternoon high. our afternoon high. through the evening that rain arrives, some heavy, maybe the odd rumble of thunder across the south—west and into wales which will drive its way steadily eastwards. we keep some clearer skies further north, particularly eastern scotland, low single figures here perhaps to start monday morning. but on the whole, monday will start off grey and a bit wet, for the early birds across east anglia and south—east england. that drifts away quite quickly. quite a lot of cloud left behind. northern england, northern ireland, scotland seeing the bulk of the sunshine, the showery rain in the north—west drifting to the northern isles. but temperatures generally around 10—14 c. somewhat milder conditions showing their hand in the south—west and it is this milder air that will start to arrive and push its way steadily northwards, so the change of wind direction is going to bring a change to the feel of the weather, particularly through the middle part of the week. so, on tuesday, quite a lot of cloud around generally, there will be some sharper showers developing from the south—west,

slowly drifting their way steadily north — a rather grey day. if we get some sunshine breaking through later on, temperatures may peak at around 16 or 17 degrees. but it's wednesday that we will really start to see the wind strengthen further. still from the south, very mild, but some very wet weather potentially threatening during the day on wednesday. the detail is still subject to change, you will need to watch the forecast for that, but the heaviest of the rain likely to be moving steadily north and along west—facing coasts. sheltered eastern areas may well see some sunshine, and if that happens, we could see temperatures as high as 21 degrees, 70 fahrenheit — above the average for this time of year. temperatures will come down a touch and we keep some outbreaks of rain thursday into friday. so on the whole, this milder but more unsettled theme is likely to continue as we go through the rest of the week.
