there may not be too much rain in the south—east of england. following the rain, a window of dry weather before those squally showers near the storm pack in towards the north—west. another mild day, but that's not the main story — the strength of the wind is the story. the winds picking up really quickly through the irish sea, pushing in those very strong winds across scotland and northern ireland. the core of strongest winds is shown here by this amber wind warning from the met office in the west of scotland and, combined with some high tides, there will be some coastal flooding as well. the winds will still be gusting 60 mph in northern scotland on monday. as the storm moves away, the weather turns quieter.

this is bbc news, the headlines hamas vows to fight on, after confirming the death of its leader, yayha sinwar, saying it only strengthened the group. israel's prime minister is holding a special security cabinet to discuss the possibility of a new hostage deal. hamas warns, no—one will be freed, until israel leaves gaza. south korea's spy agency presents detailed evidence which it says shows north korea has begun sending troops, to help russia's war against ukraine. king charles and queen camilla have arrived in australia — for their first major foreign trip since the king s cancer

diagnosis in february. more on all of that in a moment. now with all the latest sport, here's hugh ferris. pep guardiola hasn't confirmed that he was one of those considered for the england manager'sjob given this week to thomas tuchel. reports have suggested the manchester city boss was anything from part of the process to the football association's number one choice for the role with his contract with the club due to end next year. meanwhile newcastle's eddie howe says he wasn't interviewed, or even contacted, despite being one of only three english managers in the premier league and the fa claiming they considered �*approximately 10' candidates. guardiola though was less forthcoming... thomas to show it is the cabinet manager. he is the manager already. this is the

most important thing. the rest is not important. erik ten hag's future is under a more immediate microscope. although the manchester united manager insists any pressure isn't being generated from within the club with his team 14th in the premier league ahead of their match against brentford on saturday. the noise is only coming from the media, from you guys, from some _ the media, from you guys, from some of— the media, from you guys, from some of you. not all of you, some — some of you. not all of you, some of— some of you. not all of you, some of you. not all of you, some of you. bringing up stories. _ some of you. bringing up stories, creating stories, for creating _ stories, creating stories, for creating fairy tales. ultimately we are quietly and composed, we stay where we are, we stick_ composed, we stay where we are, we stick to— composed, we stay where we are, we stick to the plan and we are very— we stick to the plan and we are very convinced we will make a success — it's taken more than 1000 days but pakistan have won a home test match... and it was a pretty big one too. they beat england by 152 runs in the second test in multan to level the three—match series. left with the monumental task of chasing 297 on a dusty multan pitch

re—used from the first test... england were dismissed for 144 before lunch on day four with noman ali doing the bulk of the damage on the final day taking seven of the eight wickets to fall. it is pakistan's first test win on home soil since 2021 and sets up a series decider in rawalpindi which starts next thursday. i think pakistan cricket needed it. personal milestones and personal— it. personal milestones and personal stats can go to one side _ personal stats can go to one side even — personal stats can go to one side even if it's captaincy, but — side even if it's captaincy, but i _ side even if it's captaincy, but i think pakistan needed this— but i think pakistan needed this cricket win now. i saw a lot of— this cricket win now. i saw a lot of fight throughout the three _ lot of fight throughout the three days and we're very pleased _ three days and we're very pleased with how people responded. it pleased with how people responded.— pleased with how people responded. pleased with how people resonded. . ., responded. it was always going to be a tap _ responded. it was always going to be a top ask. _ responded. it was always going to be a top ask. we _ responded. it was always going to be a top ask. we had - responded. it was always going l to be a top ask. we had massive believe we could go out and do that. it was a very difficult run chasing... looks quite far way off but on that surface i think we've done a pretty decentjob. but yeah, pretty decentjob. but yeah, pretty decent start and myself

decent job. but yeah, pretty decent start and myself and decentjob. but yeah, pretty decent start and myself and a couple of other guys would have liked to have gone on and delivered a bit more and got us over the line. the second of the women's t20 world cup semi—finals is under way — new zealand taking on the west indies. new zealand won the toss in sharjah and chose to bat. the winners will go on to play in sunday's final against south africa, who stunned defending champions australia in their semi on thursday. rafael nadal says he is emotionally ready to bid farewell to tennis at the davis cup in malaga. the 22—time grand slam champion announced last week he will retire from the sport at the tournament next month... when he will represent spain. however he did stress that he will only compete in the singles if he feels he is physically capable of winning. new zealand are one win away from retaining the america's cup with victory over britannia in both of friday's races. after the british team won both of wednesday's races to start a comeback... the defending champions responded with two big wins on choppy waters off the coast of barcelona.

they have a 6—2 lead... with their first opportunity to clinch the america's cup coming on saturday. and that's all the sport for now. before we move on. that is italy's prime minister who is giving a press conference alongside lebanon's prime minister. she is the first major european lady to go to live and on since the conflict started. just in the last few minutes she said that, i repeat that targeting uni filled troops is unacceptable. that is in response to what happened to troops last week, including italian troops. she went on to say unit phil must be strengthened. thatjust the tail end of that news conference. we will continue to monitor those events in lebanon

and bring you the latest. more rockets have been fired into lebanon from northern israel today. a senior hamas official, has given the group's first official confirmation of the killing of its leader, yahya sinwar, by israeli troops yesterday. the group said, sinwar had died in combat, and warned his death in the gaza strip would only strengthen the movement. the us has called on hamas and hezbollah, as well as israel — to seize opportunities for �*change' — created by the killing. the israeli prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, is holding a security meeting — to discuss the possibility of negotiations on a deal, to free the remaining hostages in gaza. but hamas said, no hostages would be freed until israel ended its offensive in gaza, and withdrew its forces. let's speak to hasan alhasan, senior fellow for middle east policy at the international institute for strategic studies. welcome to the programme. you have heard those comments i just read out from ham hamas

officials... where does yesterday leave hamas? this has had a significant _ yesterday leave hamas? this has had a significant impact - yesterday leave hamas? this has had a significant impact on - had a significant impact on hamas but has to be looked at from different angles. it will be significantly demoralising for hamas and its followers. but the way in which he died was quite significant. we heard the spokesman from hamas gave a speech a few hours ago and talked about the way he died was highly significant, in combat, and that he was clearly defiant to the very end. he was not hiding away in some tunnel. i think that is significant for hamas as it allows the group to betray him as someone who was fighting and resistant and defiant to the end... we were heafina defiant to the end... we were hearing from _ defiant to the end... we were hearing from our— defiant to the end... we were l hearing from our corresponded

in jerusalem hearing from our corresponded injerusalem who was making the exact point that the israeli had been very careful today to provide a counter narrative to exactly what you have just said. how important is the communication around how he actually died?— actually died? extremely important _ actually died? extremely important and _ actually died? extremely important and i - actually died? extremely important and i think- actually died? extremely | important and i think this actually died? extremely i important and i think this is actually died? extremely - important and i think this is a classic case of israel's communication and psychological operation to reduce the footage from the drone... and release the images of his deceased body, i think this is a classic case of where this communication effort on the part of israel has totally backfired. i think that if you look at the way hamas has spun this and the way the narrative has prevailed, especially in the arabic language speaking social media sphere, it is very clear that the narrative that he was quite defiant and he was

fighting to the very end has prevailed and this is something that hamas has seized upon very clearly. i think this is a classic case of israel's communication effort backfiring. there are some other impacts that we have to look at. the operational impact is quite significant also. there it is unclear what impact his death is going to have. communications among the members of the group have already been quite difficult for some time, hamas is not operating at the moment as a centralised organisation. it operates as autonomous small cells that are engaging in insurgency tactics. whether the death of the overall leader is going to deliver take that is questionable.— going to deliver take that is questionable. how are those cells communicating, - questionable. how are those cells communicating, or - questionable. how are those cells communicating, or are | cells communicating, or are they communicating? and in terms of the basic leadership structure, who was left to take

senior figures that could end “p senior figures that could end up taking the mantle of leadership. it is useless to speculate because we don't know who is going to succeed and hamas could delay the succession to protect the successor from targeting. fire successor from targeting. are we any closer— successor from targeting. are we any closer to _ successor from targeting. are we any closer to peace? the i successor from targeting. are i we any closer to peace? the way the us and _ we any closer to peace? the way the us and others _ we any closer to peace? the way the us and others have - we any closer to peace? the way the us and others have tried - we any closer to peace? the way the us and others have tried to i the us and others have tried to spin this is that this is an opportunity for netanyahu to exit the war. i doubt that the israelis are interested in this. this in your wants to continue prosecuted in the war and he is not interested in a ceasefire whatsoever. this is ultimately bad news for israeli hostages as well. not to mention, the immense suffering of the palestinian residents of gaza, especially in the north, where humanitarian aid hasn't ended four weeks, are currently facing.

let's turn now to the us presidential election and the race for the white house. vice president kamala harris and former president donald trump have been trading insults at stops along the campaign trail ahead of the november the 5th vote. mr trump did so at an annual catholic charity dinner in new york, where presidential candidates traditionally roast each other lightheartedly. ms harris skipped the event, but did submit a video, instead delivering her attacks while campaigning in wisconsin. cbs news correspondent jarred hill has more from new york. there's the potential here that the harris campaign is just making the decision, looking at the numbers, looking at the calculus and saying that it's more important to be in one of these battleground states. wisconsin is where she was instead of appearing in person

at this charity fundraiser, this charity dinner. that is a tradition for political candidates to go to. although there have been times over the past couple of decades where we have seen that not be the case, but again, it was something that ended up coming up here. we know that wisconsin is again, one of those states that she's really hoping to lock in as she and former president trump try and carve their way through the states, in particular those battleground states, to get to 270 votes to win the white house. treating the campaign trail for a charity roast. really a pleasure anywhere in new york without a subpoena j for my appearance. former president donald trump took swipes at himself thursday night, while also taking aim at vice president kamala harris during the white tie dinner for catholic charities. a tradition for presidential candidates, but the vice president opted not to attend. my opponent feels like she does not have to be here, _ which is deeply disrespectful. harris instead sent this video with actress molly shannon as her classic catholic

schoolgirl character. is there anything that you think that maybe i shouldn't bring up tonight. um. well... don't lie. thou shalt not bear false witness to thy neighbour. indeed. especially thy neighbour's election results. at a stop in wisconsin, harris tossed a few barbs at trump, mocking his statement that he's the father of ivf. what does that even mean? earlier, trump visited a barber shop in the bronx while his running mate, jd vance, campaigned in pennsylvania. harris's vp pick, tim walz, joined former president bill clinton in north carolina on the first day of early voting. michigan is also one of those states that's really tightened again. another one of those seven battleground states here. and it's a place that also has significance outside ofjust the state vote itself, but kind of who this represents. we're talking about what's considered the rust belt here in the us, some of these more industrial, more manufacturing based states, and some of the voters in the groups in a state like michigan could also play

in states like pennsylvania, which, as we know, is going to be a really crucial one here. and so we are seeing both of these candidates really trying to either lock in some of the votes in a state a that is traditionally democrat, but that former president trump has won in the past, as well as winning over some of the blue collar folks, the union members in those states as well. there is so much on the bbc website. they have been a new series of assault charges against the rapper p diddy. he denies all
