and there was no stopping thomas tuchel!t they say that would see as a coup, and the hiring of tuchel may be an act of desperation to finally land a trophy and make the most of the generation of players, but it does also represent a shift away from this emphasis we have seen in recent years around a pathway for english coaches. it's hard to see tuchel staying on the job coaches. it's hard to see tuchel staying on thejob if england don't win the next world cup, so there is plenty at stake here, not only at him for the governing body as well. dan, thank you. israel has launched an airstrike on a major town in southern lebanon. the israeli army said it had struck dozens of hezbollah targets in nabatieh. the town's mayor was killed in the attack along with 16 others when a building was hit where they'd been holding a meeting to coordinate assistance to the civilian population. the governor of the province accused israel of directly targeting local officials. more than a50 people were injured in the attack. the un says some suppl
