with just two weeks to the us presidential election, we'll have a special report from georgia. hello, i'm rajini vaidyanathan. we start with the latest from 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 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. the situation when it comes to aid in gaza and the lack of essential services for the millions living there is dire. sam rose is the senior deputy director

of the united nations relief and works agency. he spoke to me from southern gaza. the situation of 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 kerem shalom in southern gaza where the vast majority of the population is located, or also through from 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 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. the bbc has found the london metropolitan police only asked prosecutors to consider charging the former harrods owner, mohamed al fayed, in relation to two out of 21 women who accused him of sexual offences, while he was alive. it raises questions about weather the force could have done more to bring the tycoon to justice before he died last year. daniel de simone has this report.

(vt) 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. it is shocking, it kind of beggars belief that 21 women came forward to the mat with presumably very similar allegations about a wealthy man in a position of extreme power and authority and yet nothing happened.

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. the bbc has also established that a woman was investigated by the met for aiding and abetting a rape by mohamed al fayed. 44 the women have approached since the bbc film with allegations spanning from 1979 to 2013. at least 65 women have contacted the bbc itself with allegations as far back as 1977. the scandal around mohamed al fayed and his years of sexual abuse continues to grow. earlier i spoke to zoe billingham who is a former inspector of constabulary. 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 sister ruth has paid emotional tribute to the former one direction star on social media. ruth wrote on instagram: "i don't believe this is happening." she said she was "struggling" and didn't feel the world was good enough or kind enough for him, but she thanked him for changing her life and for being the best brother and friend she'll ever have. she also promised to take care of his son bear. their father geoff is in argentina where he has seen the tributes laid out by fans outside the hotel where his son died. our culture correspondent, noor nanji, reports. a father mourning his sun. liam payne's dad, reading messages and looking at flowers placed outside the buenos aires hotel where he died. the singer's death has attracted massive media attention, despite

the family's call for privacy. an initial postmortem said he died from multiple traumas. his hotel was found in total disorder, with items broken and multiple packets of medication were discovered. those closest to liam have continued to pay tribute to him. this afternoon, liam's sister said that she didn't feel that this world was good enough or kind enough to him. fans gathered in liam's home city of wolverhampton, as a vigil was held last night in memory of the late singer. i sobbed uncontrollably, like i never knew i could do. i'm still in shock, honestly. like, i was really hoping that it wasn't real. more vigils are expected this weekend. as the investigation into liam's death continues. mark aston is the founder of shield 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 the challenges to navigate with very little support. when i started looking at this a 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 because 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 me ask you about those solutions, but in the context of what you learnt, what you were experiencing, touring the world when you were in a band, or the pitfalls and the challenges that you faced 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. you have got hours and hours with nothing to do. you are away from your friends and family, you haven't got a support network, especially when you are on tour. and itjust becomes this vacuum that you have to exist in. sometimes if you are lucky if 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 in the creative industries, that all understand the unique challenges and pressures that are unlike any other industry and instead of it just 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 ofjust relying on alcohol and drugs. mark aston.

now it's time for a look at today's sport. hello from the bbc sport centre. the day's first premier league game is under way. tottenham are at home to west ham united. mohammed kudus got the lead. dejan kulusevski levelled. there are five three o'clock kick offs. manchester united are without a wind in five, and host brentford at old trafford. with liverpool and manchester city both playing tomorrow , arsenal could go top later with a wind at bournemouth they are very well coached, a super intense team, very competitive, very clear of what they want to do. they should have been a different result in my opinion, some of the things they have, especially against they have, especially against the big teams and away from home, it is going to be a big challenge.

formula one is in austin, qualifying for tomorrow's grand prix is coming up later but before that there is the sprint race with max verstappen will start on pole, boosting his hopes of winning a fourth straight world championship. the red bull driver left it late but pipped mercedes�* george russell to top spot in texas verstappen�*s championhsip rival lando norris could only finish fourth behind the ferrari of chalres leclerc. looking at the lab a few little balance issue still, but to be ahead of the others is positive. i think when you look lewis had a little mistake in 12 otherwise he would have been up 12 otherwise he would have been up there as well. i am happy but i am aware there are a lot of fast cars behind me, but it is definitely a positive return. spain'sjorge martin has extended his motogp championship lead to 16 points over title rival francesco bagnaia after winning the sprint race in australia the race was marred by a huge crash between aprilia rider maverick vinales and marco bezzecchi on his ducati. both riders were battered and bruised but with no lasting damage.

martin led from start to finish. defending world champion bagnaia could only finish fourth. martin also finished top in qualifying earlier with bagnaia back in fifth ahead of sunday's grand prix. new zealand's bowlers fought back late on day four to put their side in a good position to wind their first test against india in bengaluru. you'll remember india were bowled out forjust 46 in theirfirst innings. new zealand then made 402. second time round india have fared much better with sarfaraz khan making a century and rishabh pant 99 — agonisingly bowled just one short of his century. new zealand hit back taking the last 7 indoian wickets for just 5a runs. so new zealand need 107 to wind up on the final day with 10 wickets in hand jordan cox is set to make his england test debut on the tour

of new zealand next month, with jamie smith likely to miss part of the series for the birth of his first child. cox who plays for essex is the back—up wicketkeeper to smith on the current tour of pakistan. england play three tests in new zealand in november and december. finally to tennis and hugo gaston pulled off one of the shots of the year in his victory over alex de minaur at the european open. the frenchman played a behind the back winner after chasing a de minaur forehand down the line. he went on to win in three sets and will now face roberto bautista—agut in the semi—finals later. it is 1-1 it is 1—1 between spurs and west ham. we will have updates throughout the rest of the afternoon. it's just over two weeks until voters head to the polls in the us election, where democratic hopeful kamala harris has been looking to increase her popularity with a key group

of the electorate. 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, from where our north america correspondent nada tawfik reports. georgia is one of the biggest prizes of this election, and the way to wind this swing state mayjust be through savannah and 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

her 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. 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, to 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 obama 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 warmer as president. a woman as president. now that early voting is under way here in the state of georgia, there's even more pressure on the candidates to get their message out. pressure on the candidates 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. that kamala is an african american warmer. 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 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. our europe regional editor danny aeberhard explained what happened today. these are 12 men who have been picked up by the italian coastguard vessel and they are from bangladesh and egypt and they were transferred to albania by the italian navy and

entered the reception centres on wednesday, so they have only been there for a few days. they have now been taken to italy and they will have their asylum claims processed in italy. this follows a judgment yesterday by an italian court that says that they didn't qualify, they didn't meet the criteria, for being sent to albania in the first place because the countries they came from were not deemed to be safe. it made that decision on the basis of a preliminary ruling by the european court ofjustice, the there is a day off built in today, court is a reminder there is a day off built in today, court of a reminder top court in the eu, that said there is a day off built in today, court ofjustice, ier european court ofjustice, the top court in the eu, that said basically all of a country must basically all of a country must be considered safe for a be considered safe for a migrant to be sent back there migrant to be sent back there and notjust a part of the and notjust a part of the country. and not “ust a part of the country. and not 'ust a part of the country.— country.— and not “ust a part of the count . , _, , country. these were considered and not 'ust a part of the count . , _, , country. these were considered as lum country. these were considered as lum country. these were considered asylum seekers, _ country. these were considered asylum seekers, not _ country. these were considered asylum seekers, not economic. asylum seekers, not economic migrants?— asylum seekers, _ country. these were considered asylum seekers, not _ country. these were considered asylum seekers, not economic. asylum seekers, not economic migrants?— migrants? people put in an as lum migrants? people put in an asylum claim, _ migrants? people put in an migrants? people put in an as lum migrants? people put in an asylum claim, _ migrants? people put in an asylum claim, and - migrants? people put in an asylum claim, and - migrants? people put in an asylum claim, and part- migrants? people put in an asylum claim, and part of. migrants? people put in an i asylum claim, and part of the battle is that giorgia meloni, asylum claim, and part- who comes from a far—right migrants? people put in an i asylum claim, and p. meloni, battle is that giorgia meloni, who comes from a far—right party, she is a prime minister party, she is a prime minister of italy, and she has promised of italy, and she has promised to stop the huge arrivals of to stop the huge arrivals of migrants into italy across the migrants into italy across the mediterranean. she says most of mediterranean. she says most of

to celebrate the country's communities and culture. stay with us here on bbc news. hello! we've been seeing some pleasant autumn weather across many parts of the uk this afternoon, but for the second half of the weekend things look very different. our first named storm of the season, storm ashley. and particularly for the west of scotland, this brings the threat of severe gales. coastal flooding disruption is looking pretty likely now. on the satellite picture you can see this storm developing, this vast shield of cloud in the atlantic, an area of low pressure which is going to be deepening as it approaches our shores, see more and more isobars forming in the centre of this low, where we see a low deepening rapidly as it approaches the uk. that always brings with it the threat of some strong winds. and so we have this

met office amber warning that's been issued for western scotland for tomorrow. 70 to 80 mph wind gusts are looking likely. this afternoon things are a lot calmer. we've had this band of rain across some eastern parts that are continuing to clear some good spells of sunshine. small chance of a shower and temperature wise, well, north to south, 13 to 17 degrees. as we head into this evening briefly, things will turn quite chilly under those clear skies, but we see cloud and rain gathering out towards the west, heavy rain at that pushing its way eastwards and through the second half of the night gales will start to develop across some western coasts. temperatures by the end of the night, 8 degrees in aberdeen. 1a degrees in plymouth. some mild air in association with our storm system, which will be approaching from the west. this band of heavy rain driving its way quite quickly eastwards. some sunny skies behind, but some hefty, thundery downpours into northern ireland and western scotland. and here the winds

really ramping up through the afternoon. it's going to be a windy day for many places, but those gusts of 70—80mph, perhaps a bit more across those western parts of scotland, so that is likely to bring travel disruption, coastal flooding, temperatures 12 to 18 degrees for most of us. now, as we head through sunday evening, you can see this area of low pressure passing to the north of scotland. still a real squeeze in those isobars. so, still some very windy and showery weather for a time. things slowly calming down on monday, although we do have the chance for some rain to push in across the south east of england. elsewhere, though, things looking drier, quieter and a bit calmer.

this is bbc news, the headlines: the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu says nothing will deter him, after his home in the coastal town of caesara was targeted with a drone from lebanon. netanyahu was not there at the time and there were no casualties. eleven people have been killed by israeli airstrikes in al maghazi in central gaza, according to authorities there. it comes after 33 were killed on friday in the jabalia refugee camp, where israel says hamas is regrouping. there are fresh questions for london's metropolitan police over its handling of allegations against former harrods owner mohamed al fayed. the bbc has learnt that the force only asked prosecutors to consider charging him in relation to 2 out of 21 women who accused him

of sexual offences. and liam payne's father has read tributes outside the hotel in argentina where the one direction star died. now on bbc news, the media show. hello, i'm ros atkins. and i'm katie razzall. this week, a new archive documenting the horrific treatment of captives by the islamic state group. we speak to the journalist behind the project. we're also going to hear from a journalist who's received an apology from the hollywood star anne hathaway. it's all to do with an interview from 2012, which has now gone viral. we'll hear the full story. this year marks 10 years since the so—called islamic state declared its caliphate. and now a group ofjournalists is seeking to preserve evidence of what the islamic state group

did in order to hold it to account.
