i'm not ready to die yet, i've got more life to live. and ifeel that's being taken away from me. good morning. with christmas not that far off, many people say they will be buying second—hand gifts this year to help with cost of living pressures. i have come to oxfam's manchester superstore to find out why they are asking for toy donations now and the sorts of things are looking for. in sport, after the pain of paris, a night of delight in denmark as katie archibald makes up for missing the olympics by helping great britain win the women's team pursuit world title. it isa it is a foggy start for some of you this morning. sunshine breaks through but then wet and windy in the west later. more wet and windy weather this weekend. all of the details here on breakfast. it's friday, the 18th october.

our main story. israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu has said the war with hamas is not over, despite israel's killing of its chief, yahya sinwar. the death of the 61—year—old, thought to be the mastermind behind the october 7th attacks, is being seen as a major victory for mr netanyahu, who said his soldiers would continue fighting until all hostages are released. our international editor jeremy bowen reports. the israeli army released drone footage showing he was still fighting in his last moments. they said sinwar, on a chair at the back of the room, had thrown two grenades and, obviously wounded, tried to fend the drone off with a stick before he was killed. it had been a chance encounter and at first they didn't realise who they'd killed. then soldiers saw the dead man resembled sinwar. yahya sinwar, born in 1962, grew up in a refugee camp in gaza.

he spent 22 years in israeli jails for killing four palestinians who'd collaborated with israel. so the security services had dental records and dna to identify his body. injail, he learned hebrew, studied his enemy, and believed he'd worked out how to fight them. on the 7th of october last year, in a meticulously planned series of attacks, sinwar and his men inflicted israel's worst ever defeat. and a collective trauma that is still deeply felt the killing of civilians, the hostage taking and the celebrations of their enemies recalled, for many israelis, the nazi holocaust in the second world war. prime minister netanyahu said the war would go on. today, he said, "we made clear once again what happens to those who harm us. we showed the world the victory of good over evil. but the war is not over yet.

it is difficult and it is costing us dearly." israel's response, a year of war, continued this morning. around 25 palestinians were killed and dozens more wounded in the latest big raid onjabalia camp in northern gaza. israel said it bombed a hamas command centre. doctors said the casualties they saw were civilians. israel's response to the 7th of october attacks has killed at least 42,000 people in gaza. its war aims of destroying hamas and freeing hostages have not been achieved, so killing yahya sinwar is its biggest victory yet. the hamas organisation that sinwar and others built before the 7th of october attacks is largely broken. left of sinwar is ismail haniyeh, hamas political leader who was assassinated injuly. israel doesn't let us into gaza to report. but this reaction in khan younis, sinwar�*s birthplace,

was filmed for the bbc. translation: this war is not dependent on sinwar, - haniyeh or mashal, nor on any other leader or official. it's a war of extermination against the palestinian people, as we all know and understand. the issue is much bigger than sinwar or anyone else. many leaders have been assassinated before him, like ismail haniyeh, but someone else will always step in and the struggle will continue. back in israel, a few people stopped to celebrate at the forensics lab where sinwar�*s body was taken. israelis are relieved and happy that their enemy has been killed, but hamas still has its hostages, is still fighting, and will get a new leader. jeremy bowen, bbc news, jerusalem. we'rejoined now from jerusalem by our middle east correspondent yolande knell. morning, yolande. iwonder what

morning, yolande. i wonder what the reaction has been at this stage to what has happened?— what has happened? certainly, israelis have _ what has happened? certainly, israelis have been _ what has happened? certainly, israelis have been welcoming l what has happened? certainly, - israelis have been welcoming this, they have been dancing in the streets and hanging out sweets as a result of this, but also from the relatives of the hostages, you see a much more cautious approach. some of them gathered in tel aviv in a main square last night, and while they were praising this what they called military success, they are also asking the government to leveraged it, in their words, asking the government to leveraged it, in theirwords, to asking the government to leveraged it, in their words, to bring home their hostages, to bring a deal. we have already got the americans signalling that they are going to try and take advantage of this moment, the state department said that the chief obstacle to a deal as they see it in the shape of yahya sinwar had been removed. president biden quickly called up benjamin netanyahu to congratulate him on this and saying that it was a great moment notjust for israel but the

world. we expect the us secretary of state antony blinken, who has already been calling regional leaders trying to get ceasefire talks going again, it seems. we are expecting him to come back this way. but still, this is a war which has now spread beyond gaza. we see that israel is fighting against hezbollah in lebanon, there has also been this direct confrontation between israel and iran with a big missile attack at the start of the month, israel is still expected to retaliate against that. and we have had divide messages from both hezbollah and iran that the fighting continues and they say in the words of iran that they say in the words of iran that the spirit of resistance continues. thank you, yolande. tributes have been paid after the death of liam payne particularly

those who knew him very well. yes, this is something we were recovering yesterday. liam payne's former one direction bandmates say they are "completely devastated" following his death at the age of 31. police in argentina are continuing to investigate after the singer fell from a third floor hotel balcony in buenos aires on wednesday. our correspondent azadeh moshiri reports. fans had long called for a one direction reunion, but now liam payne's former band mates are united in grief. in a statement, louis tomlinson, zayn malik, niall horan and harry styles said, "we will take some time to grieve and process the loss of our brother who we love dearly. it's incredible... that sense they were more than bandmates, more than friends was echoed in separate tributes. louis tomlinson thanked liam for being "the kind brother i'd longed all my life for." zayn malik wrote, "i lost a brother when you left us and can't explain to you what i'd give to just give you a hug one last time." and harry styles said

he was devastated and wrote, "the years we spent together will forever remain among the most cherished years of my life." fans are still in disbelief. police say he fell from the third floor of the casasur hotel in buenos aires. officials say by the time police arrived, liam payne had died of multiple traumatic injuries. # fly me to the moon... he rose to fame as a teenager in 2010 on the x dactor. in 2010 on the x factor. we're very excited about the album. it's where he met his one direction bandmates. # you don't know you're beautiful! together, they became a global sensation, but after six years, the boyband went on an indefinite hiatus. # you know i love it when the music's loud... liam, who'd already had songwriting credits under his belt, went on to pursue a solo career. but amidst the global stardom, he was open about the impact on his mental health and his struggles with addiction.

the former x factorjudge sharon osbourne has now said, "we all let you down. where was this industry when you needed them?" his friends and family have praised liam payne's talent and his kindness in shock as his career, his life, ended so soon. harry styles' mother said simply, "he was just a boy." azadeh moshiri, bbc news. our south america correspondent ione wells is in buenos aries, where fans continue to gather outside the hotel where liam payne died. since the news first broke of liam payne's death on wednesday evening, fans here in buenos aires have gathered continuously outside the hotel where he was staying and where he fell to his death from that third floor balcony. people have been leaving flowers, writing messages, lighting candles, some incredibly emotional, even crying after they heard the news of what had happened.

a sign of how much he meant to some of his fans, even here in argentina, as well as, of course, around the world too. police are still investigating some of the details of this case. we know that from initial postmortem examinations, they say that it seems he died from both internal and external bleeding. inspections have also been carried out of the area where he died. the ground floor of this hotel was inspected where a whisky bottle, a lighter and a mobile phone was found. inspectors also said that in his hotel room, the room was left in complete disorder, that multiple packets of medication were found as well as many things destroyed. evidence is being gathered there, as well as fingerprints, which is going to be taken to a laboratory and examined, which is something which those close to him and his fans hope will provide further answers in the coming days. but for now, the community here, as well as his fans around the world, are still in a state of shock at the news of his death

at such a young age. the foreign secretary david lammy is beginning a two—day visit to china today in what is seen as a resumption of high—level engagement with the country. mr lammy will discuss issues including climate change, foreign policy and the war in ukraine, with his chinese counterpart, as well as holding talks with british businesses based in shanghai. the government is planning to increase the amount of money it raises from inheritance tax in the budget on october 30th. the bbc has learnt the prime minister and the chancellor are considering multiple changes to the levy, which currently includes several exemptions and reliefs. the body of alex salmond is due to be flown home to scotland later today. the former first minister died on saturday after suffering a heart attack while attending a conference in north macedonia. it's understood a private individual paid for the chartered flight. king charles and queen camilla are on their way to australia for their biggest overseas trip since the king began

cancer treatment. the visit has re—opened questions about the future of the monarchy in australia and the debate around whether the country should become a republic. our royal correspondent daniela relph reports. it will be the first visit to australia for a reigning king. previous male monarchs never made it this far. but later today, king charles and queen camilla arrive in sydney for a trip that will include diplomacy, the environment and culture. shortly afterwards, prince charles and princess anne flew in to join them. it is familiar territory for the king. his 17th visit here. as an unmarried prince of wales, he was quite the attraction. it was to the foot of the rock that the aboriginal... his visits with princess diana drew big crowds and generated some memorable moments. and in recent years he's represented his mother as she stepped back from international travel.

but eight months ago, it was hard to see how this trip could happen. a short stay in hospital and a cancer diagnosis limited what the king was able to do. but with modifications, the visit to australia and samoa goes ahead. the royal visit has been organised in conjunction with the king's doctors. it is shorter than originally planned and the schedule has been altered. new zealand has been removed completely, and in australia the focus will be on sydney and canberra. here there are also no engagements in the evening on the timetable. buckingham palace say this is all about preserving the king's energy. preparations for the trip have included a commonwealth reception in london, and a chance to hearfrom the more well known end of the australian community in the uk. i think they're going to receive an amazing reception because australia still likes to belong. otherwise it literally is going to be an island in that way, you know.

but there is still a simmering of republican sentiment under the surface here, although it's currently drowned out by more pressing political issues. for the king and queen, the visit is a chance for normal royal business to resume after a challenging few months. daniela ralph, bbc news, sydney. our royal correspondent daniela relph joins us from sydney. morning, daniela. interesting that you mentioned in your report there that there is a reduced timetable, curtailing of evening activities, understandable. so what is going on today? understandable. so what is going on toda ? , ., ., ., today? yes, good morning, naga. the kin: and today? yes, good morning, naga. the king and queen _ today? yes, good morning, naga. the king and queen are _ today? yes, good morning, naga. the king and queen are due _ today? yes, good morning, naga. the king and queen are due to _ today? yes, good morning, naga. the king and queen are due to arrive - today? yes, good morning, naga. the king and queen are due to arrive in i king and queen are due to arrive in sydney a little bit later on this morning uk time, their 17th visit for the king. when they land it will be getting a bit darker at that

point in australia. the sydney opera house behind me will be lit up with images from royal images of old, so we will see the visits of the king when he was prince of wales, he has been coming here since 1966. a number of those images will be lighting up the sydney opera house behind me to mark the fact that the king and queen have arrived in australia. when they arrive there will be a welcoming party led by the governor general of the australia which will include the australian prime minister anthony albanese e. in the party has been clear he is a republican and he would like australia to become a republic and have an australian head of state rather than a king of to be honest he will be a co—host of this trip with another number of other dignitaries. that republican conversation has been dimmed, anthony albanese has a lot of domestic political challenges to deal with and the idea of australia

becoming a republic is not really a on the radar. the king and queen will do some diplomacy, they will be going to a community barbecue, it is australia, and meet a number of prominent australians including some cancer doctors who have been pioneering some new treatments. the king and queen will have time with them later next week.— king and queen will have time with them later next week. thank you very much, them later next week. thank you very much. daniela- _ them later next week. thank you very much, daniela. the _ them later next week. thank you very much, daniela. the idea _ them later next week. thank you very much, daniela. the idea of _ them later next week. thank you very much, daniela. the idea of a - much, daniela. the idea of a barbecue seems so far away right now! at barbecue seems so far away right now! �* , ., ., , ., barbecue seems so far away right now! , now! a distant memory of summer! beautiful and _ now! a distant memory of summer! beautiful and summer _ now! a distant memory of summer! beautiful and summer there. - now! a distant memory of summer! beautiful and summer there. it - now! a distant memory of summer! beautiful and summer there. it was| beautiful and summer there. it was reall nice beautiful and summer there. it was really nice here _ beautiful and summer there. it was really nice here in _ beautiful and summer there. it was really nice here in salford _ beautiful and summer there. it was really nice here in salford and - really nice here in salford and manchester yesterday. we have all of the details later. the largest and brightest supermoon of the year lit up the skies last night. hunter's moon is the third of four supermoons so far this year, and was at its peak on thursday afternoon. our reporter sam harrison has more. the orange glow of dusk in the uk. but waiting behind the clouds was something spectacular.

england slow today, many places brightening up to sunny spells, a few showers. sunday, windy weather coming our way, a deep area of low pressure coming in, widespread gales and particularly bad conditions on sunday evening. indie and particularly bad conditions on sunday evening.— and particularly bad conditions on sunday evening. we will keep a close e e on it. sunday evening. we will keep a close eye on it- yes. _ sunday evening. we will keep a close eye on it- yes. i _ sunday evening. we will keep a close eye on it. yes, i will— sunday evening. we will keep a close eye on it. yes, i will have _ sunday evening. we will keep a close eye on it. yes, i will have more - eye on it. yes, i will have more detail later— eye on it. yes, i will have more detail later on. _ let's take a look at today's papers. many of them lead on the death of the hamas leader yahya sinwar. the times carries an image of him with a child holding an automatic rifle, alongside a quote from the israeli prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, who has vowed to continue the war until the release of all hostages. the i reports that there is unrest within the government at the scale of cut—backs to public services that the chancellor rachel reeves is expected to make in her first budget on october 30th. and the sun leads with a tribute from former one direction bandmates to liam payne, calling him "our brother,

who we loved dearly". it's a drug which can extend the life of breast cancer patients by an average of six months, but enhertu is currently only available on the nhs in scotland. campaigners are calling on the health assessment body nice to reverse its decision not to recommend the medication for use in england, wales and northern ireland, amid concerns over its cost. our health correspondent cath burns reports. i'm not ready to die yet. i've got more life to live, and ifeel that's being taken away from me. by the timejeannie ambrose discovered she had breast cancer, it had already spread to her bones. now, aged 53, it's in her liver, too. i want to stay alive. i want to have some fun. i want to be happy. i know that this isn't going to end well, and i'm not ready for that yet. so for her, the focus is on what she calls living well, especially being with her family, but also finding time for adventures, too. like skydiving.

because terminal illness isn'tjust about hospital visits. it can also look like this. playing with children, holidays, sports and work. all of these women have the same kind of advanced breast cancer known as her2—low. it's spread to other parts of their bodies and is incurable, but there's a drug that can extend their life by an average of six months. it's called enhertu, but they can't get it. so far, 19 countries in europe are offering enhertu through their health services to patients with her2—low breast cancer, including france and germany, as well as places like bulgaria and romania. scotland has given the green light too, but it's the only part of the uk where these patients will get it on the nhs. in england, the health assessment body nice says enhertu is not value for money. wales and northern ireland

will follow this guidance too. nice decides which treatments to recommend on the nhs by balancing cost and benefit. severe diseases get extra weight. recently, it's changed its system for doing this. now diseases can be rated as having no severity, no extra weight or highly severe, lots of extra weight, which can help balance out the costs. in this case though, the rating is medium severity, not the maximum weight, and not enough to tip the scales in the favour of these patients. we have a difficultjob at nice. you know, we have to be looking at how to support the nhs to best spend the finite budget that it has. so whilst our decisions can be devastating for patients, we have to think about that broader position of the nhs. but the drug companies insist the price is fair.

the nice decision at the moment is absolutely a single outlier. we're calling on the government, we're calling on the department of health. we need to come together, we need to resolve that because if we are unable to resolve that, these women are still going to, unfortunately, be without access to this medicine. caroline mullins has one aim, to be alive when her daughter starts primary school next year. she is on enhertu because her health insurance is paying for it. i'm so grateful that i'm able to access this, and i feel sickened and saddened for the women who, through the nhs, this lifeline is not available to them. there are about 1,000 people who need enhertu. drug companies and charities are worried that other conditions could be affected in the future too. but for these patients, the dilemma is if or how they could get the treatment now.

we shouldn't be having to thinking of moving to scotland or selling our houses or, you know, and i'm really, really annoyed and upset that nice don't feel that my life's important enough to extend. that my contribution to society and to my community, to my friends, my family, that that's not important enough. that was our health correspondent catherine burns. we will be talking more about this later on breakfast with a campaigner and cancer charity boss, that's at around 8.15am. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. hello, good morning from bbc london. a charity that supports victims of modern—day slavery says it's concerned about a fall in the number of people seeking help. the salvation army said
