President biden has had a phone call with the Saudi Crown Prince talking about how they affirm the importance of working toward a sustainable peace between israelis and palestinians as soon as this crisis subsides. It also said they agreed to remain in close coordination directly and through their teams over the coming period.

Thosejust a few lines coming from the white house about the discussion between President Biden and the Saudi Crown Prince. In gaza, its been one week since the explosion at the Al Ahli Hospital. Hamas initially blamed israel for last tuesdays blast, but israel denied this, saying it was caused by a misfiring rocket from within gaza. America and the uk have supported this. It was also reported that hundreds of people died, but the actual numbers are not clear. As the fighting goes on, bereaved families are struggling to come to terms with what happened. 0ne gaza resident, arafat abu assi, lost five members of his family including two of his sons. The grieving father called for peace and an end to the war. Heba bitar reports. For umazen, photos are all that is left of her two sons. Mazin, 17, and ahmed, 13, went with their uncle and two cousins to Al Ahli Hospital on the day of the blast because they thought it was a safe place to be. They were all killed. Translation out of fear. And terror from the rockets, they saw people seeking refuge in al mamdani. They believed that because of the british flag and the presence of the red cross, an international organisation, it wouldnt be targeted, making it a safer choice than homes and streets. After eight long years of waiting and difficult ivf treatment, abbasi and his wife had their first son, mazen. Four years later, they had ahmed. Translation this is where ahmad used to sleep. And this one was for mazen. This is ahmeds photo when he was around three years old. This was ahmeds bag. May god have mercy on him. He wanted to become a lawyer. The news about losing five members of his family Left Abu Assi in a state of shock. He wasnt even able to bury his sons. Translation i had no tears, no tears, i swear to god. My legs were shaking, but no tears. After an hour or two, i started crying and my leg and arm were numb. The bereaved couple are now left with their three year old son, faraj, and all they ask for is peace. Translation they are kids and have nothing to do with this. I just want this to stop for those who are still here so the kids can live. For the son i still have, and for my mother. I dont want anything else, i swear. I only want peace for everyone. Not only for gaza, for the entire world. Heba bitar with that report. Cross border violence between the iranian backed hezbollah in lebanon and the israeli army has intensified in recent days. And the un says more than 19,000 people have been displaced in lebanon because of tensions on the israeli border. Theres been much discussion of hezbollah� s role in the conflict, but who are the group . My colleague simijolaoso has more. Hezbollah is a shia, islamist political and militant group that wields considerable power in lebanon. Hezbollah is backed by iran and is designated a Terrorist Organisation by some western countries as well as israel and some arab countries. It was formed in 1982 in response to israels invasion of lebanon. When it formally announced its establishment in 1985, hezbollah identified the us and the then soviet union as its principal enemies. It also called for the obliteration of israel. After the Syrian Military imposed peace on lebanon in 1990, hezbollah began to play an active role in lebanese politics. In 1992, it successfully participated in National Elections for the first time. The group was credited with getting Israeli Forces to withdraw from israel in 2000. Hezbollah then is it to the pressure to get rid of its arms and continue to strengthen its military wing, whose capabilities in some ways exceeds those of the lebanese army. In 2006, hezbollah militants launched a cross border attack in which eight Israeli Soldiers were killed and two others kidnapped, triggering a massive israeli response. Israel bombed hezbollah strongholds and more than 1000 people mainly lebanese civilians died. Yet hezbollah survived the war and emerged emboldened. In 2008, when lebanon was at the brink of a civil war, the western backed lebanese government agreed to a Power Sharing Agreement that gave hezbollah and its allies the power to veto any cabinet decision. Hezbollah has continued to upgrade and expand its Weapons Arsenal and recruit scores of new fighters. Most recently, it has exchanged fire with israel on lebanons southern border. Some lebanese people consider hezbollah a threat to the countrys stability, but it is enduringly popular within the shia community. Around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. Bbc news bringing you different stories from across the uk. Here i am in the early stages of sculpting the portrait of the queen in clay, and im surrounded by my Inspiration Wall of the queen portrayed in the 1950s and early � 60s. Sculptor Hywel Pratley has been working on this memorial of Queen Elizabeth ii since january, from clay to wax and now to bronze. This is the next major milestone in creating the seven foot statue. Here, the ceramic shell of the queens head and other parts of the sculpture are being surrounded by sand, so melted bronze heated to 150 degrees can be poured in. When its cooled, its time for the moment of truth. Public sculpture, i think, is something so important for the wellbeing, the cultural wellbeing and life of the country, and to have an opportunity to sculpt the late Queen Elizabeth as my first Public Sculpture was just incredible for me. The statue is expected to go on display early next year. For more stories from across the uk, head to the bbc news website. Youre live with bbc news.

You are watching bbc news. If you want to get in touch you can on social media. Here in the uk, a bbc investigation has found the authorities have failed to act on warnings from coroners about a website that promotes suicide. At least 50 people in the uk have taken their own lives after visiting the pro Suicide Forum. But as Angus Crawford reports, the site remains active. You may find parts of his report upsetting. The sad, the lost and the lonely. At least 50 people in the uk weve identified who ended their lives afterjoining a pro Suicide Forum. One was immy nunn. A Deaf Mental Health campaigner, immy had millions of views on tik tok, but she was finding life increasingly hard. Immy bought poison and in january ended her life. Just heartbreaking to know that she had to resort to going on a site like this. But weve discovered the authorities have known about the site for years. Weve seen multiple reports to the government from coroners warning the forum gives detailed instructions on how to end human life and is breaking the criminal law. When will something be done about it . How many lives have got to be lost . Former home secretary sajid javid. His own brother died by suicide. Surely this can be stopped. How dangerous it is. I mean, it must be countless lives that this site has already cost globally, notjust here in the uk. And so it would require action. Catherine and melanie know that only too well. The government are failing people. Police are failing. Theyve been campaigning to shut the forum down for years. Catherines son joe ended his life in 2020. And this is the man they hold responsible, an american, Lamarcus Small, one of the forums founders. Thats lamarcus, isnt it . What id love to do to that smile on that face. We managed to track down Lamarcus Small to huntsville in alabama. One of the reasons the site is still up is because the Authorities Say they dont know whos behind it. But we know that lamarcus helped set it up and he lives just there. I want to talk to you about the Suicide Forum you set up. You know, hundreds of people have died after going on that. Children are even going on that. Have you got anything to say to the relatives of the dead . The government says the new 0nline safety bill should tackle these kinds of sites, but the forum has already said it wont comply, and for now it remains up, preying on the vulnerable.

The highs and lows of the singers life have been pretty well documented early fame with hits like baby one more time, Mental Health problems and the legal control her father gained over her life. But many fans have wanted to hear what the singer herself has to say. The book contains some harrowing details. Our music correspondent mark savage has been reading it. How am i supposed to know whats right. When she sang 0verprotected in 2001, Britney Spears had no idea what was coming. My life has been so overprotected. Seven years later, after a very public meltdown, she was placed in a conservatorship that stopped her making basic decisions about her life. I stand corrected. In her new memoir, which went on sale today. She recalls the day her father sat her down and explained the arrangement. I am Britney Spears now, he said. In the book, her description of that period is chilling. She says she was forced to take medication against her will, held down on hospital beds. She wasnt allowed to take a bath without supervision and was denied coffee and chocolate for 13 years. When she tried to rebel, she was denied access to her two young sons. But even as all of that went on, she was forced out onto the stage on a world tour and a four year las vegas residency. Im sick, so i have actually a 102 fever right now. I became a robot, she writes, but notjust a robot, a sort of child robot. The fire inside me died. The light in my eyes went out. The bbc has contacted her fatherfor a response but has yet to hear back. Where would you go . Outside of the conservatorship, Britney Spears talks at length about her relationship withjustin timberlake. They became pregnant, she reveals, and she was persuaded to have an abortion. The pills that she took at home left her screaming and crying on the bathroom floor. But the couple dared not go to the hospital in case the press found out. But 20 years later, i remember the pain of it and the fear. Ill have a good book one day. There are happier moments in the book. Falling in love, performing with madonna, recording her Signature Song baby one more time, and she ends on a note of positivity. Freed from her conservatorship two years ago, the star says she finally feels like shes been given back her womanhood. Mark savage, bbc news. Now heres the weather with christopher blanchett. Hello there. The last week of october is looking fairly unsettled weather wise, with showers or longer spells of rain driven by areas of low pressure moving in off the atlantic, with associated Weather Fronts bringing the wet weather and some strengthening winds through the channel by the end of the weekend. Lets take a look at this evening. You can see weve got some outbreaks of rain across the North East Of England clearing away, but actually all attention down towards parts of south wales, in towards devon and cornwall, and wet weather drifting east through dorset, hampshire, the isle of wight, towards sussex as well and into kent. And its here that we have a met Office Yellow warning force for that heavy rain overnight. Drier elsewhere, under clear skies through west wales, north west england, Northern Ireland. Western scotland, chilly at times 3 degrees there in glasgow, colder in the countryside. To wednesday, and the overnight rain in the south east beginning to clear away. And for many, wednesday is a reasonable day plenty of dry and bright weather around, but also some large areas of cloud and some showery outbreaks of rain. The wet weather in the southeast eventually clears mid to late morning, and then some sunshine through the midlands and wales begins to extend further east towards east anglia. Cloudier skies through Northern Ireland and indeed across scotland. Outbreaks of rain pushing in across Eastern Scotland from the north sea and into the central belt at times too. And then towards thursday now, that broad area of low pressure sticking with us, its associated Weather Fronts bringing further showery outbreaks of rain, and some of that wet weather will be persistent at times. In between, though, there will be some brighter skies through parts of wales, the midlands and parts of south east england. That wet weather, though, becoming confined towards the North East Of England and across central and Eastern Scotland. Just seeing those accumulations of rain totting up exactly where we dont want them. Temperature wise, around 9 to 15 celsius north to south. Its a similar picture on friday. You can see the swirl of the cloud and rain associated with that area of low pressure, so it remains unsettled. A keen east wind through scotland, and some of that rain becoming confined and slow moving through Eastern Parts of scotland as well. Elsewhere, some sunshine and some showers or longer spells of rain. Temperatures once again around 9 to 15 celsius. And as we approach the last weekend of october, it remains unsettled. Indeed, it remains unsettled into next week, too. Thats the forecast for now. Hello, im lewis vaughanjones. Youre watching the context on bbc news.
