Condemns what he calls barbaric hamas attacks. This is the Sea Life In Gaza as israel continues to send soldiers close to the border. This is the scene live in gaza. We will speak to paul adams in a moment or two, but first i want to bring you one of the latest lines. We hear British Airways has diverted a flight from london to tel aviv due to the situation in israel. That hasjust come from the spokesmen in the last few minutes, a British Airways jet heading to tel aviv has been diverted. We will look for more details on that boat you see the activity in recent minutes in terms of rockets being fired, in terms of israeli action too, so that you just coming in. More on that in a moment but lets pause and head to the Sports Centre to round up the headlines with ben croucher. India are on course for a big win at the mens cricket world cup, chasing 273 to beat afghanistan in their second group game. Afghanistan were 63 3 when captain Hashmatullah Shahidi and Azmatullah 0marzai put on 121 for the fourth wicket. Shahidi made 80 from 88 balls and 0marzai 62 from 69, however any hopes of pushing towards 300 were thwarted by some tight bowling near the end from jasprit bumrah. The indian quick finishing with four wickets in total. This is the latest from dehli. Rohit sharma has got india off to a perfect start in their chase, hitting a 63 ball century in a 156 run opening stand with ishan kishan. However, rashid khan has got the breakthrough for afghanistan, kishan the man to fall. India are currently on 173 for one after 21 overs. Wayne rooney says he wants to elevate Birmingham City to the next level after being named the new manager of the english second tier side. He left mls Side Dc United at the weekend after failing to make the playoffs, and replaces john eustace, whod guided the blues to sixth in the championship after 11 games. The former england striker said previous challenging environments had prepared him for the opportunity. Its been 12 years since birmingham last played in the premier league. Its the International Football break right now, with wales taking on gibraltar in a friendly in wrexham later on wednesday. With aaron ramsey and brennanjohnson missing, Charlie Savage could be in line for his debut. Meanwhile, england defender Harry Maguire says a phone call from David Beckham meant everything after he was jeered by scotland fans last month. Maguire scored an own goal in a 3 1 win but says hes been encouraged by beckham, who suffered abuse himself after being sent off at the 1998 world cup. About three weeks ago after the scotland game he got in touch with me, it was really nice of him and i really, really appreciated that. David beckham is someone i have looked up to and i watched him as a young boy. He reminded me of the career i have had and the big moments in my career, what i have reached in terms of being captain of the biggest club in the world for three and a half years, he has been in that position and knows what it is like and obviously i watch the documentary and could not believe how much he went through eight at the time. Carlos alcaraz has suffered a Surprise Exit at the last 16 stage of the shanghai masters, the world number two beaten in three sets by grigor dimitrov. Hell play chiles Nicolas Jarry next. The 22nd seed reached his maiden masters 1000 quarterfinal with victory against diego schwartzmann, and on his 28th birthday too. Not a bad present forjarry. Thats the latest. Plenty more on the bbc sport website and app. Thank you very much, ben. In the last half an hour we have seen rockets go out of gaza and more strikes coming in from israel, the fifth day of these sorts of events since the deadly attacks over the weekend. As we watch these live pictures we will speak to the chief International Correspondent for the independent newspaper, bel trew.

There were bodies littered everywhere, pools of blood, it has really upset people in israel and its galvanising peoples attitudes towards dauser. inaudible . Galvanising peoples attitudes towards gaza. Unfortunately there was not no differentiation being made between palestinian citizens and hamas so there is no more support for the military and what is happening in gaza.

Yes, that is what is being said. Fundamentally different . Yes, that is what is being said. I fundamentally different . Yes, that is what is being said. I had fundamentally different . Yes, that is what is being said. I had spoken | is what is being said. I had spoken to the Israeli Military who have used words like unprecedented. They said they wanted to instigate an unprecedented response to an unprecedented response to an unprecedented attack. I was near the border with gaza yesterday in places like sderot, they say they fully back the military action against gaza and want the heavier standard response to happen. I asked people weather they differentiate between hamas and palestinian civilians, are you worried about their safety, unfortunately from the israeli perspective there is so much sadness, they really want there to be an extreme response from the Israeli Military. Speaking to an Israeli Military. Speaking to an israeli official a few minutes ago, he told me everything was on the table, including a Ground Invasion and possibly the long term redeployment of troops in gaza, so unfortunately i think we will see some very bloody days ahead. I gather you have been unable to get into gaza, what is happening at the border in terms ofjournalists, in terms of people trying to get out, in terms of aid. I terms of people trying to get out, in terms of aid. In terms of aid. I spoke to a un palestinian in terms of aid. I spoke to a un Palestinian Refugee in terms of aid. I spoke to a un Palestinian Refugee agency in terms of aid. I spoke to a un Palestinian Refugee Agency Spokesman and they said there is no sack going into gaza, the borders are sealed. They have been desperately asking for additional supplies to come in because they have been running out of supplies themselves. I spoke to a british Palestinian Surgeon yesterday who told me they were having to improvise with medical supplies as anaesthetic was running out, they did not have proper antiseptic to clean burns and wounds, they were using regular soap, there is a worry that the food in the markets only has two or three weeks left because of the blockade israel has put on, the full siege, as they are calling it. And we have learned that gazas only power plant has completely ran out of fuel, meaning we will see mass blackouts across the territory which, by the way, will impact access to water because you need electricity to run the water pumps and sanitation. When i spoke to un officials they told me it is a multiheaded catastrophe which is happening at the time of some of the heaviest bombardment. There are 2 Million People in gaza, half of them children, they have nowhere to go. I half of them children, they have nowhere to go. Half of them children, they have nowhere to go.

The un told me they had capacity for 150,000 displaced people that there was 180,000 already in their schools and they are running out of supplies. There really isnt anywhere to go, the border with egypt was open but then it closed amid reports of israeli air strikes.

Lets look at the scale of what has happened. 0urteam lets look at the scale of what has happened. Our team at bbc verify has been investigating some of the main targets, including residential buildings and mosques. Here is our security correspondent, frank gardner. Israels bombardment of gaza shows no let up, following the deadly hamas raid on saturday. This is what parts of the city looked like before those israeli air strikes, and this is what it looks like now, after being pulverised from the air. So lets try to put all this into context, with this map of gaza. Its one of the most densely populated places in the world. 2. 3 Million People crammed into a narrow coastal strip measuring just 41 kilometres, or 25 miles long. Currently, the borders are closed, meaning that nobody can get in or out. Here are some of the neighbourhoods which have been hit according to our monitoring of palestinian and israeli media reports. 0ur correspondent Rushdi Abu Alouf is in gaza. Its the heaviest, i think, ever air strikes ive ever seen in my life and in my 25 years of working as a journalist. I was in a residential building with about 20 families. The whole building was shaking all night, kids were screaming, people were calling for appeal. Weve been looking at some of the buildings that have been targeted in recent days, including this one, the Islamic University of gaza. Were able to locate it using the shapes of nearby buildings. We compare that with what it looked like before and then after last nights air strike. The Israel Defence force said they targeted it because it was being used as a Training Camp for weapons development. Another prominent building struck is this one, the palestine tower. The idf, thats the Israel Defence force, said it housed hamas Radio Stations and that they warned occupants to evacuate before their attack. It was hit on the weekend. The moment of impact was caught on camera by a bbc Journalist Filming nearby. Next, lets take a look at this, its a northern part of gaza called al rimaal, the sands. As you can see, the housing is very densely packed and here it is getting hit by an israeli air strike. Again, were able to locate the area using the position of the buildings and the Road Patterns and this is what it looks like now. The Israeli Air Force says it was a Terrorist Hub Being used to launch attacks on israel. And finally, places of worship have also been hit. This is the al gharbi mosque before the attacks and now after. The israelis have targeted a number of mosques because they say hamas has been using them to hide weapons in. This all gives you just some idea of the sheer scale of the destruction weve been witnessing across gaza. Hundreds have been killed, as Israel Presses on with its plan to destroy the hamas leadership, which in turn seeks the destruction of israel. With me is the bbc� s diplomatic correspondent, paul adams. You were there on the ground the last time israel went into gaza. How different does it feel this time . I arrived atjust at different does it feel this time . I arrived at just at the end of the air strikes and just as the Ground Operation got under way. That was a pretty terrifying experience and all the signs so far this time around are that this is being done on an infinitely bigger scale. The destruction already wrought on parts of gaza is, as we have seen, pretty awesome. The last time i checked on the rising death toll, if around 1000 palestinians have been killed since saturday, but its almost half as many as died in six weeks of the 2014 operation, that gives you some idea of what we are talking about. Thinking back to what bel trew was just talking about, youll experience vast numbers of people on the move. In 2014i met families who had moved three times, each time trying to escape the fighting, because every time they moved it came closer to them and it becomes more and more untenable. If this will be conducted on the sky kind of scale we are anticipating, not just to render her massives Military Structure irreparable but to the political altogether, it is likely we will see much, much worse destruction. Likely we will see much, much worse destruction destruction. Mark reckless gave a little glimpse destruction. Mark reckless gave a little glimpse of destruction.

The practical is it . It will be insanely difficult. The organisation practical is it . It will be insanely difficult. The organisation has i difficult. The organisation has built up over 30 years and is deeply embedded in the gaza strip, both militarily but also politically. Some of its key leaders are abroad, not in gaza. Clearly the israelis will try to kill as many of those as they can. What is left once you have destroyed it, you have a captive population of 2 Million People who are ungoverned because hamas is the governing structure also in gaza at the moment. Talk of a occupying gaza at least temporarily seems like a very real possibility. As for the destruction, i have read Israeli Military if palestinians have to live in tents for the foreseeable future, so be it. Live in tents for the foreseeable future, so be it. You touched upon this but all future, so be it. You touched upon this but all of future, so be it. You touched upon this but all of the future, so be it. You touched upon this but all of the western future, so be it. You touched upon this but all of the Western Capital i this but all of the Western Capital is talking about the barbarity of the tax, israels right to defend itself im back it space for Benjamin Netanyahu, but ultimately over the coming days, if not already, the pressure he is under with all the hostages, the whole situation . I doubt he is clearly under enormous pressure to act, and quickly. In 2014 when the Ground Operation began, one of the criticisms was it was not quick enough and took a long time. We might have to wait a few more days before it begins, but when it happens i think it is likely to be perhaps more decisive quicker than in 2014. On hostages, but its a huge problem because some of them are westerners, the us Secretary Of State Antony Blinken will be in the region, British Foreign secretary James Cleverly is there already. Will questions be asked about weather or not there is room for some kind of diplomatic and direct effort to get at the very least non israeli hostages out. Could that delay israels military objectives . It is very complicated. I spoke to a former israeli officials earlier said ultimately the prospects for those hostages getting out alive are very, very bleak. Studio Pauladams Ending on that very bleak assessment, thank you for taking us to that variety of strands. Around the world and across the uk. This is bbc news. Bbc news, bringing you different stories from across the uk. Hado is the worlds first techno sport. Wearing a handset, three Players Per Team try to hit their opponents as many times as they can during intense 80 second matches. Pop it over your head just like this for me. That might lead one to think this is all virtual reality. Hado doesnt use vr, it uses ai. That means you still see the real world, there is no disconnection of any kind of reality, we are just adding graphics into the real world. Todays players are from the college of esports in stratford, trying out hado for the first time. You have to adjust to it for sure, because i think you also dont want to make a fool of yourself, but you really have to make a fool of yourself it does look ridiculous. It does, yeah.

Lets head north and look at the violence going on again on the border between israel and lebanon. Going on again on the border between israeland lebanon. It going on again on the border between israel and lebanon. It has extended into its fourth day. These pictures show smoke rising from the village of dhayra in lebanon, near the border with israel. The village is among those hit by israels Shelling Of Southern Lebanese towns earlier today. The Israeli Military says it was attacking lebanon after one of its northern positions near the israeli town of Arab Al Aramshe was targeted with anti tank fire by the armed group hezbollah. The militants claim that they fired missiles at an israeli position in response to members being killed by shelling earlier this week. Live now to the bbc� s rami ruhayem, hes in Southern Lebanon.

Also this mosque behind me was hit and in a nearby village a water tank that supplies the village with water was struck by the israeli shells. As you said, the israeli army said this after hezbollah claimed a cross border attack on an Israeli Military position. Hezbollah say this a tackle several casualties among israeli troops, which in turn was a response by hezbollah to an attack by israeli two days ago in which three hezbollah members were killed. So far this remains a sideshow to what is going on in gaza but this can change at any minute. Hezbollah is adamant it will not leave hamas alone. Of course the americans and the Western General is adamant that as they give israel all the support that it needs, they also want to make sure nobody comes to the age of palestinian factions fighting the israelis. This is a very important place to watch this border for any developments. Very important place to watch this borderfor any developments.

This has been denied by Egyptian Media, they say it was a way of fomenting chaos and part of the misinformation more. There is a lot of misinformation spread on social media.

Developments on bbc news in a minute ortwo. Dont developments on bbc news in a minute or two. Dont go away. Hello. For some of us over the last few days, it has felt as if summer has been trying to cling on deep into october. But autumn is going to be arriving over the next few days. In fact, already feeling quite autumnal in the northern half of the uk. Here some sunshine, but some rather cool air working its way in from the north west. Conversely, South Westerly Winds bringing warm and muggy air down towards the south, and the dividing line between those air masses is this Weather Front bringing some outbreaks of rain across parts of wales, the midlands, into east anglia and lincolnshire. Particularly heavy rain i think across parts of west wales with the risk of some flooding and some disruption. To the south of that, often quite murky but warm and humid. Further north, something cooler and fresher. 12 degrees, for example, in aberdeen and glasgow, some sunshine, scattering of showers, the wind slowly easing a little bit in the north of scotland. Now, overnight, ourweatherfront moves a little bit further southwards and then tends to stall across southern counties of england, parts of wales and the midlands, very mild here, 16 degrees in plymouth overnight. Compare that with two or three degrees for many spots further north. But here we will see some sunshine to take us into tomorrow morning. A scattering of showers, particularly in the north west of scotland. This band of cloud never really clearing the south of england or south wales. We could see some pockets of rain and drizzle at times. Some warmth trying to cling on here, but for most a cooler feel. 17 degrees there for london, 13 for belfast, 12 degrees in glasgow. But instead of clearing through, that Weather Front actually tries to push northwards again during thursday night into friday, looking very wet for parts of england and wales. At the same time, this cold front pushes its way into scotland and Northern Ireland. So quite a complex look to the Weather Chart on friday, but we will see some outbreaks of rain, particularly across england and wales. But across scotland and Northern Ireland we see sunny spells and some showers. Some of those showers could start to turn wintry over the very highest ground as some colder air starts to dig its way in. And thats the story for the weekend. We finally lose all of these Weather Fronts, all of us get into this cold north westerly wind. If anything, temperatures by day will be a touch below the average for the time of year. And at night weve got the chance for quite a widespread grass frost. Bye for now. Live from london this is bbc news. The israeli Prime Minister and Opposition Leader agree to form an Emergency Government to manage the war with hamas. Israel pounds gaza for a fifth day, as gazas only Power Station runs out of fuel. Palestani officals say over 1,000 people have been killed 60 of the injured are women and children. Israel says 1,200 people are now known to have died in the attacks by hamas, as shocking details continue to emerge of a massacre in the kfar aza kibbutz. This is the scene live in gaza, as israel continues to mass soldiers and hardware close to the border
