donald trump and kamala harris both campaign in the key battleground state of michigan. with just over two weeks to the us presidential election, we'll have a special report from georgia. 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. there's no sign of 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 casualties. earlier, the israeli military said that three drones had been fired into israel from lebanon.

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. in total, they say that more than a hundred projectiles have been fired from lebanon so far today and that one rescuer was killed by shrapnel. meanwhile, in gaza, eleven people are reported to have been killed in an israeli strike on a building in the al maghazi refugee camp. there are also reports of shelling near the indonesian hospital in the north of the territory. i've been speaking to the bbc�*sjonah fisher. stopping drones is a particularly difficult challenge for the israeli defence forces. it's not that long ago that a drone hit an army base not that far away from where this drone has has struck today. they are difficult, much harder to stop than the rockets that are regularly fired from southern lebanon into northern israel. and today is really another indication of of what

a challenge it is preventing them all getting through. indeed. and now let's turn to what we've been reporting in gaza, the attack on the jabalia refugee camp. fresh israeli air strikes there. just bring us up to date on that? it's pretty clear that the israeli offensive in northern gaza is continuing. there have been several incidents reported overnight. the one you were referring to there, 33 people, among them 21 women, are reported killed by the hamas administration in that area. we've seen on social media footage, which we can't verify, of more than a dozen bodies at the local hospital. the hospital director has been talking about the wards being simply too full, and that the injured are having to be treated on the floor. separate to that, the hamas run health organisation has this

morning put out a statement saying three hospitals in northern gaza are being targeted by the israeli military this morning with the objective of stopping them functioning. we have, of course, reached out to the israeli military this morning to get their response to it. they have yet to come back to us on those specific incidents. butjust to give you the context, of course, the israeli military has for the last few weeks been focusing its attention on northern gaza. it has called on people to evacuate the area, but lots of people have either chosen not to do that or are unable to do that, leaving them in notjust a dangerous situation, but according to the humanitarian agencies which are trying to access them and trying to get supplies to them, in pretty atrocious conditions as well.

jonah is mentioning the dire humanitarian situation. sam rose is the senior deputy director of the united nations relief and works agency. he spoke to me from southern gaza. the situation in relation to aid coming into gaza right now. any kind of supply, 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 in keram shalom, in southern gaza where the vast majority of the population is located, or also through from the north.

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 the letter and other diplomatic efforts will yield both increases in supply of aid and a ceasefire and a release of hostages, but right now we are not seeing it. quite frankly, the 30—day window is a luxury that we don't have here, that 30—day warning shot in the letter from the us government. we need the supplies to come in now. you are in southern gaza at the moment speaking to us in khan younis. is the north where the real challenges remain when it comes to making sure that get essentials?— essentials? the challenges remain everywhere. - essentials? the challenges remain everywhere. what l essentials? the challenges l remain everywhere. what we essentials? the challenges - remain everywhere. what we have in the north right now is some of the most intense fighting we have seen, if not the most intense fighting. tens upon tens of thousands of people are trapped insidejabalia, we are hearing of hospitals being

encircled and the noose appears to be tightening around people's next. your previous speaker said it was very difficult to get precise information on what is going on because of the ban on internationaljournalists. but not just because internationaljournalists. but notjust because of the chaotic nature of what is happening on the ground in terms of the bombardments and in terms of the exchanges of fire, there are bakeries that are not functioning, functioning supplies of water were dwindling several days ago. we really do fear the worst for those people insidejabalia. there are 100,000 people in total in northern gaza. some aide was able to get in from israel yesterday and over the past few days. it is not reaching populations inside jabalia and in that area that is encircled. but below northern gaza we have 1.7 million people here who are also not getting what they need

in terms of the absolute basics. we started a campaign right here, ten yards away from where we are now, and we have hundreds of staff administering polio vaccines, boosters for children, who this time last year would not have needed those boosters because they were able to get what they need from their diet, from the water, from the sanitation we provided. right now although supplies have been decimated. sam rose from un rwa. there are fresh questions for the metropolitan police over its handling of accusations made against the former harrods owner mohammed al fayed. the bbc has established that the force asked prosecutors to decide whether to charge al—fayed in relation to just two of the 21 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 sexual abuse of multiple women at harrods, with former employees of the store saying

the billionaire sexually assaulted or raped them. last week, the met police revealed 21 women had approached the force while he was alive to report sexual offences. he was never charged. it refused to say exactly how many cases it passed to prosecutors for charging decisions. but we've now established the met police only asked prosecutors to decide whether to charge mohamed al fayed in relation to two out of the 21 women who contacted the force to say they were abused by him. it raises serious questions about the met�*s handling of al—fayed. a0 further women have approached the force since the bbc film, with allegations spanning from 1979 to 2013. more than 65 women have contacted the bbc itself, with allegations as far back as 1977, in response to the bbc

a met spokesperson said, "we are carrying out full reviews of all existing allegations reported to us about al—fayed to ensure there are no new lines of inquiry based on new information which has emerged." yesterday, former fulham captain ronnie gibbons said the club owner groped her on two occasions. she said, "speaking my truth and finally telling my story will hopefully help me heal and be rid of the shame, embarrassment and pain i have carried for years." the scandal around al—fayed and his years of abuse continues to grow. daniel de simone, bbc news. earlier i spoke to zoe billingham who is a former inspector of constabulary. she told me that the met has questions to answer over its commitment to investigating crimes against women. i can only work on what i've seen in the past in terms of police practice and practice in the met, which, you know, it is shocking, isn't it,

that 20 women, 21 women, in fact, came forward with very similar allegations against a wealthy, very powerful man and basically nothing happened and they've not found closure. and i commend the women, by the way, for stepping forward in such a courageous way to tell their story now as they did to the police in the past. you have to ask questions around the commitment of the met police to investigating crimes against women, and you have to ask yourself whether or not there is an underlying still culture within the met where women's complaints and allegations are not taken seriously enough, they're not listened to, and the crimes that have been committed against them are not being investigated in an appropriate way. all of these questions i'm sure will be asked. it will come out in the wash. but this is another grim day for the metropolitan police. when trust, public trust and confidence, is at rock bottom. to hear that 21 women came forward and nothing happened as a result really is dismal.

liam payne's father has begun the process of repatriating his son's body to the uk. geoff payne is in argentina's capital buenos aires where he formally identified the former 0ne direction singer's body then visited the hotel where liam died and mingled with fans. 0ur south america correspondent, ione wells, sent this report from outside the hotel. on friday evening, liam payne's father, jeff payne, came to visit the hotel where liam payne died. he also, after his visit inside the hotel, came outside to where fans have been gathering for days, leaving their tributes, lighting candles, laying flowers, writing messages about liam and even singing 0ne direction songs. there was an emotional moment when he arrived at the hotel, where fans created a barrier between them and some of the cameras that had gathered here at the hotel. that was, of course, after his family had asked for privacy. at this time. the same thing happened

when his father left the hotel. but at that moment, his father decided to go over to the tree behind me, read some of these messages, even go up to some of the fans, who were also emotional and in tears, to greet them and share in some of their collective grief over the loss of liam. earlier today, his father visited the morgue where liam's body was transported, which was part of the formal identification process needed to repatriate him back home. now, this grieving process certainly, of course, is onlyjust beginning for those loved ones of liam payne. there's been more tributes pouring in today, and there's certainly more expected over the coming days as it's expected he'll return home to where his family is and be given a proper send off. ione wells in buenos aires. liam payne's former partner, the singer cheryl, has said the last few days have been "indescribably painful". she posted on instagram saying liam was not only a pop star and celebrity but also a son, brother, uncle, dearfriend

and father to a son who now has to face the reality of never seeing him again. she also said it was troubling her son would one day have access to recent media reports, which she said were abhorrent. mark aston is the founder of sheild of stars, an organisation which looks after the welfare of those in the music industry. as a musician himself he experienced the difficulties many artists face and told me what its like. it is tragic and it is dark and more than anything it is just sad. liam wasn't a client of ours, i wish he was, we might have perhaps been able to help him. but, you are right, it is generally children that are exposed to this, young adults are thrust into the public eye and they have all the pressure and they have all the pressure and they have all the pressure and the challenge is to navigate with very little

support. when i started looking at this year ago, and i have been through the industry myself, so i toured the world so i know first—hand what it is like. when we were playing and when we were touring there were two people that i lost to suicide that took their own lives of the isolation and the complete lack of support. for me nothing has really changed, we are still in the same position. as tragic as it is, what i want to try and do is focus on solutions, because the solutions are quite easy. they are quite simple. let solutions are quite easy. they are quite simple.— are quite simple. let me ask ou are quite simple. let me ask you about — are quite simple. let me ask you about those _ are quite simple. let me ask you about those solutions, i are quite simple. let me ask i you about those solutions, but in the context of what you learnt, what you are experiencing, touring the world when you are in a band, or the pitfalls and the challenges that you face personally that you want to now try and overcome for other people? well, we were in the tour bus for seven days a week with

four, five, six, seven people that you don't particularly want to spend 24/7 of your life with these people, but you have to because it is the job. with these people, but you have to because it is thejob. you have got ours and hours with nothing to do. you are away from your friends and family, you haven't got support network, especially when you are on tour. and itjust becomes this vacuum that you have to exist in. sometimes if you are lucky you have a manager or an agent or a trusted adviser that has some skills, some tools, to help you to be a touchstone, to be a mentor. but generally those people don't have those tools, so all we are trying to do is we have brought together a bunch of specialists that all have lived experiences in the creative industries, that all understand you meet challenges and pressures that are unlike any other industry and instead of itjust being mental health

and occasionally speaking to a therapist, it is the whole package. you need to have nutritional advice, you need to have fitness advice, therapy, a mentor, they need to have the tools to ground you instead of just relying on alcohol and drugs. just relying on alcohol and dru:s. a ~ just relying on alcohol and dru:s. ~' a ., to the united states and the race for the white house. 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. vice president harris delivered a speech focused on labour issues in michigan, one of the biggest manufacturing states in the country.

ahead of that, 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. 0ur senior north america correspondent gary 0'donoghue was at that rally. 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. 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 0bama 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 0'donoghue. according to recent polling, black men are failing to support ms harris in the way they did joe biden at the last election. it's an issue for her campaign which could have a real impact in places like georgia, the key swing state with the largest population of black voters. 0ur north america correspondent nada tawfik reports. georgia is one of the biggest prizes of this election, and the way to win this swing state mayjust be through savannah in this largely democratic coastal county. in 2020, an increase in voter turnout here propelled joe biden over the line

to his narrow victory in the peach state. with election day now in focus, though, kamala harris may struggle to replicate that performance with one key group. # all i do is be me. # all i can do is be me. but a good vibes campaign hasn't reversed a worrying trend of young black men abandoning democrats. we spoke to a group who has no plans to vote for kamala harris. in my community, we've been voting all the time. black, especially black people, we vote, we vote, we vote. people promise, people promise, people promise. and we never get anything. and right now, i'm just not sold on anybody. his friend, though, is all in for donald trump, who shares the very qualities he admires in his father. very blunt, very brash, very straightforward. they say they're going to do something. they go figure out a way to get it done. that, to me, reminds me of, you know, they call it toxic masculinity now, but to me it'sjust straight—up masculinity.

it's straight manhood. hello, savannah. and i love georgia. we love georgia. to stem donald trump's potential gains here, democrats have dispatched their heavyweights. kamala harris became their first nominee to visit this county since the �*90s. bill clinton was sent out to shore up the rural vote in the southeast. and barack 0bama had this direct message to black men thinking of sitting out the election. part of it makes me think that, well, you just aren't feeling the idea of having a woman as president. now that early voting is underway here in the state of georgia, there's even more pressure on the candidates to get their message out. kamala harris is expected to get the majority of black americans who make up a third of the electorate in this state, but her numbers with young black men could have an outsized impact. at georgia's oldest public, historically—black college,

savannah state, many of these students say kamala harris will get their vote, but not because of her race. neither candidate is a good option at this moment, but i feel like on the more professionalside, kamala harris has that edge as opposed to donald trump. being that kamala is an african american woman, that is notjust particularly sway me to just go with kamala because she's black. i just really want to understand who is actually the human, who actually cares. in a race this close, a once loyal voting base is keeping democrats on their toes. nada tawfik, bbc news, savannah, georgia. an italian coastguard vessel has collected migrants being held in reception centres in?albania?to transfer them to italy. the move comes after an italian court ruled against a plan to send migrants to albania for processing, in a blow to a major policy of italy's right—wing government. the first group of migrants, from bangladesh and egypt, were sent to albania this week. but the court in rome decided they must now be brought to italy.

commission, said only one in five migrants were being returned, so even people who sometimes had an asylum claim rejected, they are not physically return to the country, so she is promising legislation that will harness the powers of the eu to encourage other countries to receive migrants who have been repatriated. receive migrants who have been repatriated-— repatriated. thank you so much for bringing _ repatriated. thank you so much for bringing us _ repatriated. thank you so much for bringing us up-to-date - repatriated. thank you so much for bringing us up-to-date on l for bringing us up—to—date on that story. before we go, let's remind you of our top story, and israel's prime minister's had a drone towards his house in caesarea on saturday. that was after a drone had hit a structure in a central israeli town. the statement from his office said an unmanned aerial vehicle, a drone, was launched towards the drone, was la
