ceasefire in gaza. the spanish prime minister announces extra aid to reconstruct the valencia region after some of the deadliest floods in the country's history. and a uk ticket holder has one mark the euro millions jackpot. welcome to the programme. a ceasefire between israel and the lebanese militant group hezbollah has come into force, bringing a potential end to more than a year of fighting and aerial assaults that have left thousands dead and many more displaced. this is the live shot of the skyline over beirut, which has seen intense bombardment as israel tried to dismantle hezbollah. explosion. in the hours leading up to the deadline, there was no let—up

from the israeli military as it continued to hit parts of beirut�*s southern suburbs shortly after issuing an evacuation order. so what is in the ceasefire deal? hezbollah will withdraw its forces from southern lebanon, moving around 30 kilometres back from the israeli border, north of the litani river. in turn there will be a �*phrased withdrawal�* of israeli troops from southern lebanon, which they invaded two month ago, in response to almost a year of hezbollah rocket attacks. they will be replaced by the regular lebanese army, alongside the existing un force that is already there, known as unifil, to monitor the agreement. the deal echoes the one agreed to end the war in 2006, under un resolution 1701. any potential violations of the ceasefire will be directed to the united states, who helped broker the deal. these are live pictures from the lebanese prime minister. we are getting a sense of what he is saying. he said this ceasefire was a fundamental step towards restoring stability in the region. he has been thanking

france and us for their involvement in trying to get a ceasefire deal. also reinforcing his government's commitment to strengthen dlp albion lebanon. speaking to the israeli people in a national address, prime minister benjamin netanyahu said his government would approve the deal, and outlined his reasons for doing so. so why go into a ceasefire now? there are three main reasons. the first, focusing on the iranian threat. and i don't want to expand on that. the second. to allow our forces to refresh and to also allow our resources to be replenished. it is no secret that there have been some delays in the supply of ammunition and arms, and this delay is going to be removed. we are going to have advanced weapons and that will save the lives of our soldiers, and it will give us great force to complete our missions. the third reason for the ceasefire is to disconnect the two arenas

and isolate hamas. since the second day of the war, hamas relied on hezbollah to fight alongside it. but with hezbollah out of the picture, hamas will be left on its own. 0ur correspondent injerusalem, yolande knell, says israelis are split about the ceasefire. 0ne poll found 37% of israelis were in favour and 30 du percent were against. among those who have been against, you have the opposition leaders and the far right national security minister, who voted against this any security cabinet but you also had importantly many residents of the north of israel and israel has set as one of its war goals the aim that it should be able to get some 60,000 people returned safely to their homes, they have been displaced by

more than a year of fighting that has gone on between hezbollah and israel. hezbollah began firing rockets in support of hamas in gaza the day after the deadly 7th of october attacks. and really, what has been coming through from those people in the north of the country is that they do not feel safe to go back to their homes, they had been asking for a sort of depopulated buffer zone to be created by the israeli military on the lebanese side of the border, thatis lebanese side of the border, that is not something that has happened. ijust remind us what has israel committed to do under the terms of this deal? the israeli military _ the terms of this deal? the israeli military are - the terms of this deal? tue: israeli military are supposed to withdraw from southern lebanon over the next 60 days in stages. and then as a result of that, you will have 1000 more regular lebanese soldiers

going into the south of lebanon alongside the united nations peacekeepers, you have this mechanism that has been set up where the us and france will join the un unifil peacekeeping force in determining whether there have been any potential violations, there will be much more supervision they say that there has been in the past of these arrangement —— arrangements that have now been set up. at the israelis have been stressing that they have maintained a right to freedom of action, they have a guarantee of this they say, when it comes to any violations that they spot of hezbollah when it comes to rearming and potentially preparing themselves for attacks against israelis. we will strike decisively, the israeli prime minister said, when he was speaking. and already, we have had at least one skirmish that we are hearing about along the

israel— lebanon border where the israeli military says that it shot at some suspects, as they called them, who were approaching the lebanese village close to the israeli border and said that the suspects then fled. the israeli military will act against anyone who tries to violate the ceasefire agreement. these really military said also just after the ceasefire came into effect it was warning people with more than a million lebanese having been displaced by the fighting, most of them in the last few weeks where israel has been carrying out this ground offensive in the south of lebanon, it won't people not to rush back to their homes in the south, saying that there still was this israeli military presence there and, you will, one of the mayors of a nelson town warned as a result of what happened he has seen 12 hezbollah operatives and there should not have been the need for these

warning shots to be fired and for him he said it was evidence the agreement israel had reached was a disgraceful one. 0ur middle east correpsondent hugo bachega is in sidon, the third—largest city in lebanon, south of beirut, where he says displaced residents are impatient to return home. this is the main highway and this ceasefire has been in place for hours now and almost immediately after the ceasefire came into effect, thousands of people started the journey down south and this has been the case for hours. there is massive traffic jams case for hours. there is massive trafficjams here with families, trying to go back to towns and villages in the south of the country, despite warnings from israeli military and also by the lebanese authorities, telling people not to go back now because this is obviously a gradual process, a gradual withdrawal of israeli forces. there is still a

presence are visually troops in the south of the country. the lebanese authorities are saying that they are now working to deploy thousands of soldiers, as hezbollah is also removing fighters and weapons from the south as part of the deal. we have been talking to people and they say they have not been defeated, hezbollah has been degraded as a result of weeks of air strikes, also israeli attacks that killed the entire leadership of the group. they say this is a victory. a sign, the scenes of people returning to their homes, they are celebrating this moment, and saying that this is a victory. we have seen hezbollah flags, people celebrating, also people carrying posters with the faces of the late hezbollah leader. this is the scene as people start to go back to the south of the country. the hope is

that this 60 day ceasefire will bring an end to the conflict between israel and hezbollah, so they will be visit withdrawal of the israeli troops in the south, hezbollah will remove its fighters and weapons from the south of the country, and the lebanese military will deploy 5000 additional soldiers to that part of the country. i think there is a focus here on implementation, so the lebanese military will boost its deployment in the south, there will be a boost of un peacekeeping forces in the south of the country, and there will be this international monitoring mechanism led by the united states and what we heard last night from the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu is that israel would retain the right to attack lebanon if there is any violation of the deal and this has been a guarantee that was given by the americans, he said. this is a creamy

controversial in this country. something that... and israeli demand that was rejected by the lebanese authorities because this is seen as a violation of the country's sovereignty. 0ur middle east correspondent lina sinjab spoke to 25—year old rayane salman, whose family home in southern beirut was destroyed by israeli air strikes. we have just arrived we havejust arrived here we have just arrived here and we are on the site where it has been bombed and we are meeting the family who once had a home here. can you introduce yourself two i lived here for around 25 years since i was born. ~ ., ., ., around 25 years since i was born. ., ., ., ., around 25 years since i was born. ~ . ., . ., ., born. we had to leave our home and it was _ born. we had to leave our home and it was so — born. we had to leave our home and it was so hard _ born. we had to leave our home and it was so hard for— born. we had to leave our home and it was so hard for us. - born. we had to leave our home and it was so hard for us. can i and it was so hard for us. can ou and it was so hard for us. can you explain — and it was so hard for us. can you explain what _ and it was so hard for us. can you explain what happened? if you explain what happened? if you get a warning to leave and evacuate? describe how was your home before this scene? we evacuate? describe how was your home before this scene?- home before this scene? we had a warnin: home before this scene? we had a warning one — home before this scene? we had
