The violence in israel and the Palestinian Territories is complicated in terms of its history, its causes, and in the reality of what is happening right now. Understandably, its sparked many questions from viewers. Weve been putting your queries to our bbc news experts. The idiot spot for this war were the horrific events of October The 7th when hamas massacred. Inaudible. This unprecedented attack on its sworn enemy was months if not years in the planning. For many palestinians and many across the arab world, it was yet another painful chapter in a decades long conflict with israel, overtheiraspiration for an independent palestinian state. Well, yes, chris, hamas would have known they would get a huge Military Response from israel given the scope of what was carried out inside israeli territory and the massacres that were carried out against israeli civilians. Israel and hamas have fought several wars in the past, they have a clear sense of the capabilities and likely responses of the other. Israels calculation was always that they effectively had hamas contain, that they were deterred within gaza. But all of that has changed completely. So israel is now saying it will destroy Hamas Notjust as an armed organisation, but as the governing power in gaza. After 2007 when hamas took full control of gaza, israel and egypt put it under a tight blockade by land, and in israels case, by sea as well. Israels case, by sea as well. Israel wanted to stop weapons being struggled to hamas, it said, and also to stop the kind of attacks by hamas is vital that we saw to deadly effect on October The 7th. Right now, israel has its warships just off the coast, and the Rafah Crossing remains the better option for aid to enter. If you think about it like this, there is a big fault line through the middle east, on one side friends of iran. On the other, friends of americans. Hamas is one side, israel the other. If it was to heat up into a regional war, there would be trouble, and there already is trouble, army and hezbollah, who are an iran backed very powerful militia. The most powerful force in lebanon. They would come to blows and it would spread from there. It is a nightmare scenario. It might not happen. Jeremy bowen answering that viewers question from richard.

They were working on israeli farms and orchards a relationship between the two countries which goes back to the 1980s. Our South East Asia correspondentjonathan head has this report from north east thailand. Chanting. With the traditional chant the elders of the village invites the spirits which may have deserted him during his recent ordeal to return to his body. Theyre celebrating the 34 year olds narrow escape from the hamas attack. Translation we jumped over a wall and they shot at us. Bang, bang, bang, he recalls. Wearing only a pair of shorts he had to hide all night in the Orange Orchard where he worked. For him, theres now no going back to israel. Translation it was so terrible what we experienced. That day death was just seconds away. All of us who escaped made the same decision, we dont want to face that again. He left his wife and six year old son last year to go and work in the nir oz kibbutz close to gaza. On the morning of the 7th of october, he and his colleagues recorded themselves watching rockets being fired from gaza. Thats him sitting and smoking. They didnt realise how serious it was. He then phoned his wife, nerissa. Shes had no news of him since then. Translation he said there was shooting and that he was running away. He told me the attackers were disguising themselves to come in to shoot the israelis, then he disappeared. When i called back, i couldnt reach him. One out of four People Living in nir oz is believed to have been killed or kidnapped in the attack. Nerissas only hope is that perhaps he was taken as a hostage. Like most of the thai workers families, she still has debts to pay from the cost of sending him there. It may all look very verdant and fertile here, but this is one of the poorest provinces in thailand, and there are very few sources of income. So even some of those who experienced those terrible attacks in israel feel they have little choice but to go back. For a full day harvesting rice, for example, these women get paid around 10. In israel, they could earn seven or eight times as much. This mans trip to israel was paid by his mother, who took out a mortgage on her rice fields. Hes just got home after a frightening few days, but hes already thinking of going back. Working here wont get me anywhere, he said. Its enough to eat and live. But thats all. Hes not alone. Young people like him have always moved away from this part of thailand. Whatever the risks overseas, theres just not enough work to keep them here. Jonathan head, bbc news, northeastern thailand. Argentina is one of the biggest economies in south america, but after many financial crises, its now experiencing inflation of almost 140 . Against that backdrop, its holding a president ial election. Sergio massa, the current economy minister in the centre left government, unexpectedly won the first round against his populist right wing rivaljavier milei. Theyll face each other again in the second round next month. Our South America Correspondent Katy Watson reports from buenos aires. A chance to kick back and celebrate. This wasntjust a victory for leftist sergio massa, but for all that came before him. Peronism, kirschnerism, the faces of the political movements that define argentina, as well as football of course. Translation our country| is going through a complex, difficult situation full of challenges and difficulties. I know that many of those who voted for us are the ones who are suffering the most. I will not fail them. His supporters happy that their politician prevailed. What matters is this is the only candidate that has a serious project for the country so basically the other candidates were, like, criticising him, and they were, like, offering things that were, like, not possible. Even for Sergio Massas fans here it was a bit of surprise. You might wonder how a man in charge of an economy with Inflation Running at nearly 140 could win this, but perhaps that says less about massa and more about the alternative. This was definitely a plot twist in argentinas election drama. Many saw far right javier milei as the star of the show after his Shock Victory Primaries just months ago. No longer, but he is not giving up. Translation two years ago, if you had told us we would be| completing in the second. Round with kirschnerism for the presidency of the nation, i we would not have believed it. We really are witnessing an historic event. When people want to vote on sunday, the economy was the main thing on their minds. Few believe, though, that politicians can solve it. Translation there are more and more millionaire politicians and people are getting poorer and poorer. We need to change that equation. Its worrying that we cant. We have to really, really think about it and we dont have a really good option. I didnt come here and say, i know who i am going to vote. I was like, i dont really know, because nothing. I believe that nothing is good. The Party Continues and the hard work starts again later this week. There will be another month of uncertainty until argentina chooses a new leader. What is clear, though, is whoever wins will have a hugejob on their hands turning around an economy and a population in crisis. Katie watson, bbc news, buenos aires.

Thats all for now stay with bbc news. Hello there. Weve started this week off on a fine note, but things are turning more unsettled now for tuesday onwards, and by the end of the week, itll be turning windier with plenty of blustery showers. So, rain at times over the next few days, but there will be some drier, brighter, sunnier moments at times. The Pressure Chart for tuesday is pretty complicated. Weve got a mess of Weather Fronts across the country, so generally cloudy, i think, today with variable amounts of rain. I think most of the rain, persistent at times, will be across northern and Eastern England areas that really dont need any more rainfall, so we have a met Office Yellow warning in here in force for tuesday up until around 4pm. Elsewhere, there will be some sunshine around, best of it, scotland, maybe southern england, but even, here therell be a few showers as well. Temperatures 10 15 degrees and winds will remain light and variable for many. Now, as we head through tuesday night, that area of low pressure starts to push back in towards the northeast and we could see some rain for eastern scotland, Northeast England again, areas that dont need the rain. Another pulse of Rain Running Across Southern Britain thanks to another area of low pressure. But in between, drier spells with clear skies, variable cloud, but a milder night to come temperatures 5 8 degrees. For wednesday, again, were in between weather systems. With light winds, well start off with some rain perhaps across the southeast. It could linger here through the day and thats where the fronts across the northeast will still push some cloud and rain in towards eastern scotland, maybe Northeast England again, areas that really dont need any more rainfall. But elsewhere, from northern ireland, down through much of england, wales, we should see some sunshine around. The highs of 14 or 15 degrees, but then it starts to turn wetter and windier in the southwest later in the day, and thats because this much larger area of low pressure will dominate the Weather Scene for thursday and friday and even into the weekend, bringing plenty of showers and strong winds, particularly towards the south and the west. So, the winds picking up across Western Areas through thursday. Band of rain spreads northwards again, bringing rainfall to areas that dont need it. But for much of the country, northern ireland, the rest of england, wales, sunny spells, scattered showers. Some of these will be heavy and thundery in places, particularly towards the southwest. Temperatures reaching 15 degrees. If we factor in the wind, might not feel that mild. Similar story on friday and into the weekend low pressure sticks nearby with further showers or even longer spells of rain. Take care. More rumbling in the us auto sector of strikes escalate.
