since october 2023, israel attacks and lebanon have killed more than 4000, according to lebanon's ministryhealth, including hundreds of children. many more have been left with life changing injuries. in a hospital in the eastern valley, i met a seven-year-old who survived an israeli strike, but she suffered brain damage. she cannot see, hear, speak, or walk. >> she was playing with her cousins when the bomb hit. her cousin lost an arm. all the children were affected, but none like her. look at her. my daughter was very beautiful, very cute, very smart. simona: she was her parents only child. this was her life before the war, doing cartwheels like an ordinary child anywhere else in the world. whether or not the cease-fire holds, her life will never be the same. her father blames the united states. >> america is the mother of terrorism, in lebanon and gaza. they are bombing us with american weapons. i will tell you something, whether muslims, christians or jews, we all believe in the afterlife and will get are just as. simona: one night, they gathered to commemorate the fallen leader. resist

she, like nearly a million others in lebanon, fled her home to escape fighting.hree floors below them, in —ia, denise al—baba lived with her husband mehyeddin and their two children, nermine and ali. that sunday, denise had invited her brother hisham over for a weekend lunch. an israeli air strike hit the terrace of a ground floor apartment. then — another strike. we've slowed the footage down to understand what happened. first, we see two missiles fly through the cloud of smoke towards the building. a second later, another missile. and another. in total, four israeli missiles, less than four seconds apart. after seven hours under the rubble, the civil defence managed to reach hisham. an entire family killed in a moment. hisham lost his sister denise, her husband and their two children, 16—year—old ali and 23—year—old nermine. batoul�*s daughter, four—year—old hawra, was killed by the strike alongside her cousins, hasan and husayn. in total, eight members of the fares family were killed. she coos ain el delb is a quiet residential neighbourhood. everyone i've spo

it told us... ..the tenth strike on a home in northern lebanon.a hezbollah terrorist was hiding. at least 28 people were killed in that attack. this pattern of striking entire buildings, leading to high civilian casualties, has been a feature of israel's war with hezbollah. but the attack in ain el delb remains the most deadly. hassan taher works in the local cemetery. he buried the dead from the attack. since october 2023, lebanese authorities say more than 3,900 people have been killed... ..many of them civilians. over the same period, israel says more than 80 israeli soldiers and 49 civilians have been killed. for now, a fragile ceasefire has held. no—one knows how long this relative peace will last. but for ashraf, there's little comfort. is this yours? you're a christina aguilera fan? hello there. another name storm as we start off the new working week. this time it's been named by the spanish met service because of the effects that it will have on the iberian peninsula. it's storm herminia, but also some impacts here across the united kingdo

and lebanon itself.aeli government, the army is in southern lebanon to rid the area of hezbollah which is a common interest. as long as hezbollah is deployed, you will have a warlike situation. lebanon has an interest in pushing hezbollah north of the river 20 miles north of the border. that serves america's interest, too. if it is 30 days, i think everyone could acknowledge this is a step towards greater stability and not instability. carl: the white house says it was the push for that kind of extension of the terms of that cease-fire. just looking at gaza now briefly. people are being allowed to return to their homes now. what role do you think israel will play and the u.s. as well in terms of the rebuilding effort that is to come? michael: that is a huge question and there are different opinions. the previous administration wanted the palestinian authority which would be revamped and purified of corruption moving into gaza. israel said, the israeli government said there's not much difference between t

today in lebanon, there is a new president and prime minister, both of whom support a sovereign lebanon without hezbollah running the show or claiming any part in it. we are moving iran -- iran is in the weakest position in decades after the u.s. military helped defend israel from a rainy and missiles and supported israel's military response. look across the region. in lebanon there is an opportunity for a future free from the grip of hezbollah. in syria, a future free from assad. for the palestinian people, and incredible path to a state of their own and for the region, a future of normalization and integration of israel with all of its arab nations including saudi arabia. we've had many difficult days since hamas began this war. we've encountered roadblocks and setbacks that we have not given up. a special thanks to my team, particularly brett mcgurk who spent weeks and months working nonstop to reach this deal, many of those weeks and months out of the country. today's a cease-fire in gaza and the release of hostages is the result of a principled and effective policy that we have pre

because that means there is no more boycotts for lebanon.l be more regional and international support for lebanon. this is a country that is struggling with its economy and a financial crisis. it has in suffering with war with israel with many parts of it destroyed. it means a lot to rebuild and stand up on its feet. it means also these regional players like saudi arabia may be able to give support. and finally, for the lebanese, to find a way to build in internally without one party, mainly hezbollah, blocking the political vacuum and blocking the political process. it is a country that needs to be friends again with the region and the west, to be able to get the right support to stand up on its feet. this is the right moment for it to gain the fruits of these elections today. caitriona: in his latest intervention in european politics, the tesla ceo elon musk has in the last few hours hosted a conversation on x with alice why don't come of the code of germany's far right afd party. in a message posted in december, elon musk said the traditi

lebanon's new president, generaljoseph aoun, called for restraint.n beruit and outlined what the deal was. this deal stipulated the withdrawal of israeli troops from the south of the country, and also the removal of hezbollah fighters and weapons from the south, and at the same time, thousands of lebanese soldiers would be deployed to that part of the country. now, what the israelis are saying is that this deal hasn't been fully implemented, that the lebanese military hasn't really fully deployed to the south. and in response, the lebanese are saying that there have been delays in this deployment because of what they described as israel's procrastination in pulling out from the country. but i think at the heart of what is happening here is what the israelis have been saying, and that is that they need more time to destroy, to dismantle hezbollah infrastructure in the south of the country. they're still concerned about the lebanese military�*s ability or even willingness to really act against hezbollah in the south. this is a part of lebanon where for

— the ceasefire both in gaza and lebanon? , ., ., ., lebanon?uation in gaza seems to be — lebanon? the situation in gaza seems to be relatively - seems to be relatively straightforward and it looks as though hamas was not able to get the hostage arbel yehud in time for the hostage exchange that they did the transfer comprising hostage soldiers, instead of civilian women. this is a straightforward violation of the ceasefire agreement and the response from israel has been not to call the whole thing off but to refuse to evacuate the corridor until arbel yehud it is released. both parties understand is a violation but not a particularly serious one and arbel yehud can be released and they can return to commitments. lebanon is more complicated. israel has claimed a series of ceasefire violations in attempt to take control and the idf is still apparently finding hezbollah weapons cachet is and it's no indication of how long idea for stay there. i've no idea for stay there. i've no idea when warm a resume but thatis idea when warm a resume but that is

what is the situation between israel and lebanon now? the sense that the israelis have not withdrawn from lebanon. that puts the lebanese government in a difficult situation and we see lebanese citizens trying to return to the south were shot at. we had a number of them killed and injured today so thatis killed and injured today so that is very concerning. it does look like they were able to extend the truce for now which is good news but definitely a more worrying situation than we saw 60 days ago. kristin diwan, great to get your view. thank you. thank you. president trump has spoken to the british prime minister sir keir starmer on the phone. yesterday, trump praised sir keir, saying he had done a "very good job thus far" and that the pair have a "very good relationship". in the call today, downing street said: there is now a battle brewing between the us and colombia over president trump's policies on immigration and deportation. colombia ordered 25 percent tariffs on us imports in response to trump's earlier threats of tariffs, trav

in lebanon thousands have been killed, a quarter of lebanon's population. our goal in seeking hostilities was not to pause the fighting and subvert a regional war but rather, reaim hezbollah from constituting to threaten israel or continue to hold the lebanese state or lebanese people hostage. we wanted to create conditions allowing the displacement of lebanese families to return safely to their homes. the arrangement we brokered together with france meets those bench marks and empowers the government of lebanon to retake control of its territory and provides lebanon's economy and security forces with much needed aid and support and preserves israel's right to defend itself in accordance with international law and achieves israel's aim at dealing with hostilities from the war in gaza. since the deal was signed, israeli forces have started to withdraw from southern lebanon. the lebanese military is deployed in their place, to ensure remaining terrorist infrastructures are helped and they're working hour by hour to address violations. and now just six weeks a

so that lebanon can continue with its institution in full place. and we also work together to help ukraine resist the russian aggressor. and we agree that no solution can be found to this conflict without the ukrainians. there can be no discussion regarding european security without the europeans, and no solution can be found to this crisis if the solution were to be -- not to be in the interests of ukraine. so from a financial point of view, when it comes to the sanctions, for three years almost now we've been providing ukraine with the support that it so much needed to preserve, to defend, its freedom, its territorial integrity, of course, but also at the same time to protect and defend the interests -- the security interests -- of europe. and beyond everything you did in the middle east, for ukraine, and in many other places, we talked together, for example, about sudan where there is the worst ongoing humanitarian crisis at the moment. and we're both extremely mobilized in this respect. but i could see you act, saw how much of a seasoned diplom

we will keep a close eye on any updates, and in terms of the situation, of the ceasefire deal with lebanon ceasefire agreement and we are looking at this because it was at the end of november that this truce was reached between israel and hezbollah, the iran backed militant group, and as part of this ceasefire deal at the end of november it was stipulated that after 60 days, the israeli troops would all withdraw from southern lebanon. about six weeks before the truce was signed, the israelis went in as part of the ground incursion, more than a million people in lebanon were displaced as a result but the deal was done and this 60 day deadline comes up and this 60 day deadline comes up this weekend. the office of the israeli prime minister, netanyahu, basically says the troops will remain in southern lebanon, and the israelis are blaming the lebanese state saying the conditions of the deal have not been met, and they say at this point they will miss the deadline and in the days to come they will continue to liaise with the trump administration, about what will happen next. crucial to all of

now, we don't know how many israeli troops remain here in lebanon., and we don't know how hezbollah is going to respond. i don't think anyone is expecting the conflict to resume, but i think any kind of violent reaction from hezbollah is likely to face opposition, not only from its critics here in lebanon, but also from some of its own supporters in the country. hugo bachega. the uk chancellor rachel reeves says social media companies have a �*moral duty�* to take down harmful and illegal, violent content in the wake of the conviction of the southport murderer axel rudakubana. she was commenting on a letter the home secretary, yvette cooper, has written to x, meta — which owns facebook — tiktok, google and youtube calling on them to act. rudakubana viewed a host of violent and extreme content online. the conservative leader, kemi badenoch, says rudakabana's online viewing is evidence he'd failed to fully interg rate into british society — despite being born here. here's our political correspondent damian grammaticas. the government has written seeing
