on the campaign trail exhausted on the campaign trail it raises questions about whether you are ready for the most importantjob in the world. an emergency�*s declared in cuba after a nationwide blackout — around ten million people are without power. questions for the metropolitan police over its handling of accusations made against mohamed al fayed. should the harrods owner have faced criminal charges before he died? and liam payne's father reads tributes outside the hotel in argentina where the one direction star died. hello. welcome to this hour. we start with the latest on the war in the middle east. a spokesperson for israel's prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, says a drone has been launched towards his home in the northern town of caesarea. these pictures show police outside the building on saturday morning. they don't show any damage, but it's not clear exactly where the drone may have landed.

neither mr netanyahu nor any member of his family was in the vicinity of the building at the time, and there are no reports of any casualties. earlier, the israeli military said that three drones had been fired into israel from lebanon. sirens two were intercepted, but one was reported to have carried on, and it's thought that was the one which hit mr netanyahu's building. meanwhile, in gaza, the hamas—run health authorities says at least 33 people were killed in israeli air strikes injabalia refugee camp on friday. there have also been reports of casualties following air strikes in at least two other parts of gaza. i've been speaking to the bbc�*sjonah fisher. he says the drone attack on benjamin netanyahu's residence highlights just how vulnerable the israelis can feel. stopping drones is a particularly difficult challenge for the israeli defense forces. it is not that long ago that it is not that long ago that

a drone hit an army base not a drone hit an army base not that far away from where this that far away from where this drone has struck today. drone has struck today. they are much harder to stop they are much harder to stop the rockets that are regularly the rockets that are regularly fired from southern lebanon fired from southern lebanon into northern israel. into northern israel. today, israel has indicated today, israel has indicated what a challenge it is what a challenge it is it is preventing them it is preventing them all getting through. all getting through. let's turn to what we have been let's turn to what we have been reporting in gaza, the attack reporting in gaza, the attack on the jabalia refugee camp. on the jabalia refugee camp. in that area. fresh israeli air fresh israeli air strikes there. strikes there. bring us up to date on what bring us up to date on what more we know about that. more we know about that. it is pretty clear that the it is pretty clear that the israeli offensive in northern israeli offensive in northern gaza is continuing. gaza is continuing. there have been several there have been several incidents reported overnight. incidents reported overnight. the one you are referring the one you are referring to there, 33 people, to there, 33 people, among them 21 women, among them 21 women, are reported killed are reported killed by the hamas administration by the hamas administration

in that area.

to them, pretty atrocious conditions, as well. let's ta ke let's take you to the scene live outside of prime minister benjamin netanyahu's home in caesarea. i will remind you of the story that we are hearing this morning that by minister benjamin netanyahu's office said that a drone was launched towards his residence after a report that a drone in lebanon hit a structure. an unmanned vehicle... launched at his residence and netanyahu and his wife were not present. it was said that three drones were

fired from lebanon on saturday and two were intercepted. we are also getting reports of an israeli air strike in gaza suggesting that at least 11 people have been killed on an israeli strike in a home in a refugee camp. the bbc website has a live report on that. palestinian news agency is reporting and siding medical sources that in addition to those killed are those injured and missing under the rubble. you can see updates on the website. it is north of khan yunnis and south of gaza city. i've been speaking to

daniel levy — president of the us—middle east project and a former adviser to the israeli government. the attempts to depict the resistance movements in lebanon or gaza as incapacitated are incorrect. if we understand it through the prism of oh, it is just terror, we fail to acknowledge occupation and actions against people of palestine or lebanon, for that matter, who are going to have these movements rooted in the objective conditions of their people and they will be popular with the people. so the killing of sinwar. .. with the people. so the killing of sinwar... does not end this. a political horizon with this and there is not one and netanyahu makes sure that there isn't one. unfortunately, at the same time, we have the new set of northern gaza which you shared which cannot be verified

by you because yourjournalists are not allowed in there any local journalist are not allowed in there any localjournalist reporting on this arc being killed. 175 journalist had been killed since the start of this. from the israeli — since the start of this. from the israeli government - the israeli government perspective they say they are trying to eliminate hezbollah and hamas. we saw scenes of celebration since sinwar�*s death was confirmed. what is the strategy there of the israeli government's goal to eliminate hamas and hezbollah? that comes with the balance of more civilian casualties as we saw in jabalia more civilian casualties as we saw injabalia in gaza. more civilian casualties as we saw in jabalia in gaza.- saw in jabalia in gaza. look, from a human _ saw in jabalia in gaza. look, from a human perspective . saw in jabalia in gaza. look, l from a human perspective one can understand the celebrations in israel. the crimes of seventh october were crimes and were reprehensible. but one can only understand this, but this

is not a war against sinwar or hamas. if one adds a bit of context, we can only know what is going on in what will happen next. the reason the palestinians in gaza live in refugee camps is because they've been displaced and never allowed to return home. those who still remain under a military government for 20 years and then more than half a century of occupation of the palestinian manse, displacement, blockades, misery, illegal settlements. a system that is separate and unequal defined as a parasite by human rights groups and the international court of justice —— an act defined as apartheid. he has been in the west bank destroying everything, more than 40,000 dead, 15,000 children, schools, hospital, a workers. we cannot deal with

this until we understand that you can never have security, also not for israeli jews certainly not palestinians, alongside systematic violence and occupation because those things do not go together. so you have to step back and say how do we change the israeli incentive structure to get out of this cycle of violence which will continue as long as palestinians have the rights denied. this is not about a terror group in a normal state. this is about the permanent occupation and resistance, both of which, use violations of international law, which is why the chief patrick leader of the international criminal court has requested in arrest warrant against benjamin netanyahu. let's speak to sam rose, the senior deputy director of the united nations relief and works agency. welcome to the programme. you are here to talk about the aid situation on the ground in

gaza. tallis where it stands in terms of where you see it and being able to deliver aid. earlier in the week there was that letter that we reported on from the us to the israeli government urging israel's government urging israel's government to ensure that more aid reaches particularly northern gaza. he says if it is that turnaround in a month the us government could withdraw some military assistance to israel. in that context, how much is getting through? thinks for havin: much is getting through? thinks for having me — much is getting through? thinks for having me on. _ much is getting through? thinks for having me on. the _ much is getting through? thinks for having me on. the situationl for having me on. the situation in relation to aid coming in to gaza right now, any kind of supplies, humanitarian or commercial, is essentially as bad as it has been at any time since the conflict started in october last year. that includes either from the south... southern gaza where the vast majority of the population is located, also to

the north. the situation here is dire and it is getting worse. in terms of the ability of aid agencies to meet the basic life—saving needs of the population who are in desperate need, facing catastrophic food insecurity. we are yet to see those improvements. we hope that the letter and other diplomatic efforts will yield both increases in supply of aid and a ceasefire and a release of hostages. right now, we are not seeing it. quite frankly, the 30 day window is a luxury that we do not have here. that 30 day warning shot from the us government. we need these supplies now. government. we need these sunplies "ow-— supplies now. you are in southern _ supplies now. you are in southern gaza _ supplies now. you are in southern gaza speakingl supplies now. you are in i southern gaza speaking to supplies now. you are in - southern gaza speaking to us in khan yunnis. is the north where the real challenges remain when it comes to making sure that

people get essential? the challenges _ people get essential? the challenges remain - people get essential? tue: challenges remain everywhere. but we have in the north right now is some of the most intense fighting that we have seen, if not the most intense fighting. tens upon of of people are trapped insidejabalia. trapped inside jabalia. hospitals are trapped insidejabalia. hospitals are being encircled. in use appears to be tightening around people's next. it is a struggle to get precise information because of the ban on internationaljournalism. also because of the chaotic nature of what is happening on the ground in terms of the bombardments and it changes of fire. supplies of water were dwindling several days ago. we do fear the worst for those people insidejabalia. there people inside jabalia. there are people insidejabalia. there are 400,000 people in total in

northern gaza. some aid was able to get in from israel yesterday and over the past few days. it is not reaching populations insidejabalia, populations inside jabalia, that populations insidejabalia, that area that is encircled. but below northern gaza we have 107 million people here who are also not getting basic needs. —— we have 1.7 million people. ten yards away from me downstairs we have members of staff administering polio vaccine who would not have needed those boosters last year at this time because they are able to get what they need from their diet, the water and sanitation. but right now all of the supplies have been decimated.— of the supplies have been decimated. briefly, it is not often that— decimated. briefly, it is not often that we _ decimated. briefly, it is not often that we get _ decimated. briefly, it is not often that we get an - often that we get an opportunity to speak to people from inside gaza. is there anything that stands out in your mind from what you've seen where people that you have spoken to that you want to tell

of us? , , ., , spoken to that you want to tell of us? , , . , , spoken to that you want to tell ofus?, . ,,, of us? just that this is beyond what anyone _ of us? just that this is beyond what anyone should _ of us? just that this is beyond what anyone should have - of us? just that this is beyond what anyone should have to i what anyone should have to endure. the hardships, the tragedies that everybody here faces on a daily basis. our morning meetings start with condolences about yet another hospital worker or aid worker has been killed. it is tragically suffering behind of that. and when the problem is just that any hostages are released, it will be decades before people are able to put their lives together but we need the healing process to start now. need the healing process to start nova— start now. thank you, sam speaking — start now. thank you, sam speaking to _ start now. thank you, sam speaking to us _ start now. thank you, sam speaking to us from - start now. thank you, sam speaking to us from there | start now. thank you, sam i speaking to us from there and back from the un relief and

works agency. thank you very much and you say stay. —— do stay safe. to the united states and the race for the white house. it is the penultimate weekend before the presidential election and both donald trump and kamala harris have been campaigning in the key battleground state of michigan. it is one of seven states that either of them could win. the latest polls show the race remains on a knife—edge with the pair very close in all of them — harris just ahead in four and trumpjust ahead in three but the numbers are well within the margin of error. it is anyone's to pray for. —— to play for. vice president harris delivered a speech focused on labour issues in michigan, one of the biggest manufacturing states in the country. ahead, she delivered another speech in grand rapids where a group of pro—palestinian protesters gathered at the venue in protest. the war in gaza is a key issue for voters in michigan, which has the largest

proportion of arab—americans in the us. our senior north america correspondent gary o'donoghue was at that rally, and says the vice president is pulling out all of the stops to win there. kamala harris will be spending a lot of time in michigan over the next 18 days. this is one of those states that is crucial to the outcome of the election. a they call it part of the blue wall. those midwestern states, those manufacturing industrial states that often vote as a bloc. in 2016, they voted for donald trump. in 2020, they voted forjoe biden. whoever wins here will likely win the election. so she's engaging some super high—powered support, celebrities like lizzo, superstars, like michelle obama, will all be here in the coming days. the key message is one about the economy, about investment in the automotive industry, about wages, about green jobs in these new manufacturing industries. kamala harris herself will be 60 this coming weekend, but there's not going to be a lot of time for partying because there's a lot of work to do before election day.

gary o'donoghue there. now, when she took the stage at that rally, vice president harris doubled down on her questions about donald trump's fitness for the presidency. take a listen. he is ducking debates and cancelling interviews. booing. come on. and check this out. his own campaign team recently said it is because of exhaustion. laughter. well, if you are exhausted on the campaign trail, it raises real questions about whether you are fit for the toughestjob in the world. when cheering talking to reporters as he arrived for his own rally in detroit, mr trump he was asked about those comments by kamala harris about his fitness on the campaign trail. here's his response. what events have i cancelled? i haven't cancelled.

she doesn't go to any events. she's a loser. all they do is put out sound bites. | tell me when you've seen me take even i a little bit of a rest. not only am i not... i'm not even tired. i'm really exhilarated, you know why? - we're killing her in the polls because the american - people don't want her. we have got a load on the us election and the bbc website. if you want to look at the latest poll tracker is do so online. there are fresh questions for the metropolitan police over its handling of accusations made against the former harrods owner mohamed al fayed. the bbc has established that the force asked prosecutors to decide whether to charge al—fayed in relation to just two of 21 the women who accused him of sexual offences while he was still alive. here's our investigations correspondent daniel de simone. mohamed al fayed, a sexual predator. it's been a month since the bbc film detailed his
