israel's cabinet will meet tomorrow to discuss a potential hezbollah peace deal. the us has just the us hasjust said we the us has just said we are very close. britain braces itself for more disruption from storm bert — after a months worth of rain — fell over the weekend in parts of the country. and as wicked breaks records as it goes on general release — some cinemas ban audiences sing along. are they right? all that coming up, but first a sport with devin. just one defeat in 18 matches has left liverpool top of both the champions league and the premier league table. their victory against southampton yesterday was their fifth in a row. but there may be some unrest on the horizon. as the star man of their victory at st mary's — and for much of the season — mo salah — admits he's

"disappointed" by the club's failure to offer him a new contract — and looks more likely to leave than stay. salah — who's now 32 — is the club's top scorer with 12 goals in all competitions, but is out of contract at the end of the season. and salah might not be the only big name on his way out of the premier league. kevin de bruyne says he is unsure whether this will be his last season at manchester city after putting talks over an extension to his deal on hold. the midfielder is out of contract at the end of the season. meanwhile, his boss, pep guardiola, insists he won't change his style to change his team's fortunes. city have suffered five defeats in a row — including three in the premier league — leaving them eight points behind leaders liverpool. guardiola says their bad form won't last — with their next match against feyenoord in the champions league on tuesday. no, i'm not going to change. i believe that we are big believers in the process. we have to make sure that the players that are injured come back in the best form.

get one good result to change our mind and believe completely that when we are winning in lots, inlets, of course i always think in this too shall pass, and right now this too shall pass, and right now this too shall pass. there's one more match to come in the premier league this evening. as newcastle take on west ham. a win for the home side at stjames�* park would put them just outside the top four — while west ham sitjust three points above the relegation zone. always difficult games against west ham and they have been for us historically. they are a team full of very good players, and going back to their recruitment in the summer, they recruited well, i think they have a good squad. they have some attacking players that we respect, and we are going to have to do well to get our structures right to keep them quiet. we are working hard to improve a lot. we are working hard to improve a lot i_ we are working hard to improve a lot i think— we are working hard to improve a lot. i think that players have a big commitment to do this, they are able to do. _ commitment to do this, they are able to do. and _ commitment to do this, they are able to do, and we have to ensure that we achieve _ to do, and we have to ensure that we achieve our— to do, and we have to ensure that we

chasing a huge 533 to win. and the remaining seven wickets on day four fell at regular intervals — australia bowled out for 238 — giving india a huge 295—run victory. the second of five tests, for the border—gavaskar trophy, begins on friday. world champion kyren wilson has begun his uk snooker championship in stunning style in york. the world number two has eased into the second round, thrashing scotland's steven maguire 6—0. wilson will play either the 15th seed chris wakelin or former uk quarterfinalist matthew selt in the last 16. you can catch that match on bbc two or the bbc sport website at the moment. thank you, things to update you on in terms of major stories, starts and in the middle east. news from the white house national security spokesmanjohn kirby in the last of the saying that they are close, and

he's talking about the lebanese cease—fire deal with israel. let me show you live pictures from beirut, the skyline quite there now, but it is an earlier and one of the hours, the israelis struck 25 times through different parts of lebanon in one hour, but all the while, negotiations have been continuing. the us envoy has been busy in the region, and he has also been speaking and talking about going in the right direction, so all the pointers are that they are getting pretty close, if few final things to iron out, but we know is resident security cabinet is meeting tomorrow to discuss whether to rectify the cease—fire deal, and of course... that deal been rectified and though some of the latest lines coming into us. i want to bring you up—to—date with the situation in the red sea, the yacht that went down because ray

gets in an update from the egyptian authorities. we earlier had been reporting that 17 people were still missing, that number has now changed to 16 people, so one more been retrieved because we knew that tourists and egyptian crews were on board. these are the pictures of some of the rescues that happened a little earlier in the day to stop 31 tourists were on board. the authorities have been speaking, the governor in that region, who said there was not any technical errors behind this incident, and the boat was safe. the initial reports according stories by the survivors suggested that bad weather might have been a factor as the boat was hit by a huge wave overnight. the grosvenor —— the governor who i quit there has been meeting survivors in that tourist town and says the investigation is still continuing to

find out what exactly happened but of course the continuing search for a 16 other people who continue to be missing, so those the latest details coming to us from the local authorities in egypt. at least five people are now known to have died as a result of storm bert which has brought severe flooding, wind and snow to parts of the uk. more than 120 flood warnings remain in place across england, wales, and scotland. some areas received close to a month's worth of rain in less than 48 hours — with up to 190 millimetres falling over dartmoor and the brecon beacons in wales. let's speak to huw irranca—davies, wales' deputy first minister and cabinet secretary for climate change and rural affairs. thank you for being here with us. just start by describing the impact these bloods have had where you are. the impact has been devastating in

many parts of wills. there's been really impact in the south wales valleys where rain has fallen very hard and severe, and as you described, having huge deluges of wills in the narrow valleys shove washdown and devastated communities, houses and businesses and homes, but it has happened in different parts in wales, and tragically as you say, lives have been lost across the uk, including one lost in north wales, so we are trying to get people help get their homes and businesses are back on theirfeet get their homes and businesses are back on their feet as quickly as they can but it has been traumatic. how many flood warnings remain in place in wales? taste how many flood warnings remain in place in wales?— place in wales? we still have flood alerts right across _ place in wales? we still have flood alerts right across wales, - place in wales? we still have flood alerts right across wales, and - place in wales? we still have flood alerts right across wales, and we l alerts right across wales, and we still have at least two severe flood warnings as well, and in fact, some have been in places which i have beenin have been in places which i have been in touch with the emergency authorities and agencies on the ground, including the river mono, so yes, people still need to watch for

the alerts, sign up for alerts as well, so you have those alerts and flood warnings, and then worked with people and agencies on the ground to take the necessary steps. in people and agencies on the ground to take the necessary steps.— take the necessary steps. in terms of warnings. _ take the necessary steps. in terms of warnings, you'll _ take the necessary steps. in terms of warnings, you'll be _ take the necessary steps. in terms of warnings, you'll be well - take the necessary steps. in terms of warnings, you'll be well aware l take the necessary steps. in terms| of warnings, you'll be well aware of the criticism from some communities that the warnings these floods over the weekend came too late, perhaps 60 minutes before it's all hit. you know, i 60 minutes before it's all hit. you know. i think _ 60 minutes before it's all hit. you know, i think we _ 60 minutes before it's all hit. mt. know, i think we need to reflect on this because we have a very modern, highly advanced flood alert and warning system here in wales, multimedia platforms which can get information either by text or message or what's up our e—mail, or even by phone call as well, but the speed at which some of these refers raised meat by metre and so rapidly, i think we do need to reflect to see if there needs to be an adjustment on sensitivity and on particular river attachments.

will be a more extreme weather events. surely that has to be part of the equation in terms of preparations.— of the equation in terms of preparations. of the equation in terms of re arations. ., ., . ., preparations. you are right. we have not stood still _ preparations. you are right. we have not stood still either. _ preparations. you are right. we have not stood still either. in _ preparations. you are right. we have not stood still either. in fact, - preparations. you are right. we have not stood still either. in fact, i - not stood still either. in fact, i backin not stood still either. in fact, i back in 2008, back in the cumbria floods, i was looking at those really traumatic weather incidents and can about how to plan for it. since storm dennis, we have invested massively in wales, record levels of spending on big flood schemes, including the air is affected, and some have done exceptionally well, but also on community resilience, small measures like floodgates on shops and homes, and some have worked but really the frequency and sheer intensity of what we face, not just in wills, but right across the uk, and we have seen this in western europe as well, is really challenging us in every single country. but we do have to maintain the levels of investment but also

work on community resilience level, so that we can protect individuals homes and businesses. he so that we can protect individuals homes and businesses.— so that we can protect individuals homes and businesses. he said that ou're homes and businesses. he said that you're helping _ homes and businesses. he said that you're helping people, _ homes and businesses. he said that you're helping people, there - homes and businesses. he said that you're helping people, there are - you're helping people, there are people who have lost everything who say they are not insured, what can you actually do to help people? if you actually do to help people? if you are a homeowner, we recommend you are a homeowner, we recommend you look at flood really, those are for those operatives that cannot usually get insurance, and what what we're doing for the businesses affected seen both of the local government level but also at the west government if we can help. there are some funds available but we have to gauge the impact in different parts of wills and see which way we can support even more. huw irranca—davies, we have to live it there, but we are grateful time, thank you forjoining us on bbc news. why has the number young women dying from alcohol related liver 1424 0
