We have heard about crackdowns on News/benefit-fraud'>Benefit Fraud and also tried to get people who have been enough work long term sick. Very interesting that she did choose to take head on that decIsion about News/winter-fuel'>Winter Fuel payments, saying it wasnt a decIsion the government intended to take to cut them but she claims they didnt have a choice because of the News/black-hole'>Black Hole, as they call it, in the public finances. Something its worth saying the conservatives dIspute. There Is going to be about about that conference within the next hour because a lot of people want to see the government budge. They dont agree with that decIsion. So fine that minIsters are prepared to move. We will keep you across all of the detail in hIs last hours of the News/labour-party-conference'>Labour Party Conference from liverpool. But for now, it Is back to you. As alex was saying we will be back for more reaction to those speeches at the News/labour-conference'>Labour Conference, updates on that News/winter-fuel'>Winter Fuel allowance vote. It Is a vote by delegates but it Is as alex said not a News/binding-vote'>Binding Vote. It will give a sense of the News/support-or-lack'>Support Or Lack of support for that. And a reminder if you want to keep up reminder if you want to keep up with what Is going on there Is a live page running on the News/bbc-website'>Bbc Website and the bbc app. ThIs has all the developments, all the updates from the speeches. We are talking about News/wes-streeting'>Wes Streeting and News/rachel-reeves'>Rachel Reeves and they said to have everything you want there and analysIs. Israel has intercepted a News/hezbollah-mIssile'>Hezbollah MIssile targeting the headquarters of its News/intelligence-agency'>Intelligence Agency in News/tel-aviv'>Tel Aviv the furthest hezbollah has fired during thIs conflict. Hezbollah says News/mossad-hq'>Mossad Hq Is responsible for the assassination of senior hezbollah leaders and for blowing up pagers and wireless devices. You can clearly hear the News/air-raid'>Air Raid sirens in thIs footage which appears to show the mIssile just after it was intercepted by Israeli News/air-defence'>Air Defence systems. The News/Israeli-military'>Israeli Military says it detected the News/mIssile-crossing'>MIssile Crossing from lebanon. Meanwhile the News/reuters-News-agency'>Reuters News Agency has reported Israels military saying its conducting extensive strikes in the south of lebanon and the News/bekaa-valley'>Bekaa Valley and News/lebanons-health-minIstry'>Lebanons Health MinIstry says six people died in the strikes. Our correspondent in lebanon reports that ten people have been killed and 29 wounded in the course of todays violence. Earlier the News/health-minIstry'>Health MinIstry said the mIssiles killed three people in the town of News/ain-qana'>Ain Qana and three in the town of maaysrah, north of beirut, which would be the furthest Israeli mIssiles have reached during thIs conflict. Tel aviv Is more than 200 kilometres from the lebanon border. The Israeli News/prime-minIster'>Prime MinIster, benjamin netanyahu, has delayed hIs departure for the News/un-general-assembly'>Un General Assembly in News/New-york'>New York. Our middle News/east-correspondent'>East Correspondent, yolande knell, Is injerusalem and says thIs Is being seen as an escalation by hezbollah. Tel aviv where people were sent into a panic. They had to rush to their News/bomb-shelters'>Bomb Shelters as these News/rocket-warning'>Rocket Warning sirens went off. And its known that hezbollah does have these longer range rockets, but up to now it hadnt used them to target the centre of the country. So thIs Is being seen as an escalation. At the same time, it was a single rocket that was fired. And hezbollah would know very well that Israel does have thIs sophIsticated, multi layered News/air-defence'>Air Defence system. So thIs rocket was intercepted without causing any casualties, without causing any damage. Weve had a briefing from the News/Israeli-military'>Israeli Military thats confirmed thIs was the furthest that a rocket fired by hezbollah has ever penetrated inside Israel. But at the same time, theyre saying thIs was a heavy warhead and it could have gone even further into Israeli territory. Theyre denying that thIs would have hit News/mossad-head'>Mossad Headquarters, saying that it was a civilian area that came under attack. And they are also saying that it was fired from quite deep inside lebanon, not close to the border. And they say they have already hit the launch site. Earlier i spoke to our middle News/east-correspondent'>East Correspondent in beirut hugo bachega. He told me the lebanese governement� s reaction to escalating hostilities. We had a statement from hIs polar earlier saying they had targeted the News/mossad-head'>Mossad Head quarters in the suburbs of News/tel-aviv'>Tel Aviv. ThIs seems to be the first time hezbollah has targeted News/tel-aviv'>Tel Aviv with a mIssile. ThIs mIssile has been intercepted by the Israeli authorities but i think the message here from hezbollah Is that, despite all the attacks of the last week the group still has the ability, still has the capacity, to carry out attacks targeting positions on Israel and thIs time targeting News/tel-aviv'>Tel Aviv for the first time with a mIssile. And i think for the Israeli authorities, they will be looking at it and they will be looking at it and they will probably say that thIs offensive against hezbollah needs to continue to try to stop these attacks coming from lebanon. We will delete that we have seen there has been an escalation in Israeli News/air-strikes'>Air Strikes targeting hezbollah. More than 500 people have been killed across the country since these air started. And today these air started. And today these air started. And today these News/air-strikes'>Air Strikes continue. ThIs morning that News/Israeli-military'>Israeli Military warned residents to stay away from hezbollah positions in lebanon and there have been reports thIs morning of more than a dozen villages that have been affected, hit by those Israeli News/air-strikes'>Air Strikes thIs morning. Those Israeli News/air-strikes'>Air Strikes thIs morning those Israeli News/air-strikes'>Air Strikes thIs morninu. ,. ,. , morning. And on that matter, eole morning. And on that matter, peeple having morning. And on that matter, people having to morning. And on that matter, people having to leave morning. And on that matter, people having to leave the. People having to leave the area what Is a bit like seeing so many people having to use those same gridlocked roads to try to get to safety . Where are they heading . Try to get to safety . Where are they heading . Those were some dramatic images they heading . Those were some dramatic images really they heading . Those were some dramatic images really of they heading . Those were some dramatic images really of tens i dramatic images really of News/tens-of-thousands'>Tens Of Thousands of people, according to the lebanese authorities, that have had to flee News/southern-lebanon'>Southern Lebanon because of those attacks. Many of them with nowhere to go so schools across the country, dozens of schools across the country have been turned into shelters. There wasnt a shelter here in beirut yesterday, housing more than 6000 people. People describe the intensity of the attacks, that they had no time to take any of their belongings and now there was a lot of uncertainty because they didnt know what to do next and where to go. I think for many of those people there Is the very real possibility that many of them may never be able to go back home because there Is the concern here that these Israeli News/air-strikes'>Air Strikes could be the beginning of a much wider Israeli offensive against hezbollah that could include a News/ground-invasion'>Ground Invasion of News/southern-lebanon'>Southern Lebanon to try to create a News/buffer-zone'>Buffer Zone and News/push-hezbollah'>Push Hezbollah away from the border. And at the same time hezbollah remains defiant. Those attacks by hezbollah continue so the real concern across lebanon, that we could see the beginning of a much wider conflict between News/Israel-and-hezbollah'>Israel And Hezbollah. The News/prime-minIster'>Prime MinIster has told britIsh nationals still in lebanon that now Is the time to leave as the violence between News/Israel-and-hezbollah'>Israel And Hezbollah escalates. Speaking on hIs way to News/New-york'>New York, where he will attend the News/un-general-assembly'>Un General Assembly later, News/sir-keir-starmer'>Sir Keir Starmer said the News/uk-government'>Uk Government was ramping up News/emergency-contingency'>Emergency Contingency plans by sending around 700 additional News/uk-military'>Uk Military personnel to cyprus . As part of a possible evacuation they willjoin 500 britIsh News/military-personnel'>Military Personnel who are already based at raf akrotiri. In an interview with News/nick-robinson'>Nick Robinson on radio 4s today programme, News/sir-keir-starmer'>Sir Keir Starmer once again called for News/de-escalation'>De Escalation in the conflict. Do you fear, do you sense we are on the News/brink-'>Brink of all out war . I are on the News/brink-'>Brink of allout war . , ,. War . I am deeply concerned about News/it-war'>It War . I am deeply concerned about it News/i-war'>I War . I am deeply concerned about it. I have war . I am deeply concerned about it. I have put war . I am deeply concerned about it. I have put News/it-war'>It War . I am deeply concerned about it. I have put it in about it. I have put it in those about it. I have put it in those terms that we are potentially at a News/News/brink-'>Brink-point'>Brink Point and potentially at a News/News/brink-'>Brink-point'>Brink Point and we potentially at a News/News/brink-'>Brink-point'>Brink Point and we have to come back from the News/brink-'>Brink and we have to come back from the News/brink-'>Brink. That Is why, with our the News/brink-'>Brink. That Is why, with our allies. The News/brink-'>Brink. That Is why, with our allies, we have been very clear our allies, we have been very clear and our allies, we have been very clear and coordinated in saying de escalate. We need a ceasefire, we need to de escalate and that will be amongst the dIscussions i will have amongst the dIscussions i will have in amongst the dIscussions i will have in News/New-york'>New York. I take off for New have in News/New-york'>New York. I take off for News/New-york'>New York immediately after thIs interview. But that will be uppermost in our minds de escalate, ceasefire, pulled back de escalate, ceasefire, pulled back from de escalate, ceasefire, pulled back from the News/brink-'>Brink. Deescalate, ceasefire, pulled back from the News/brink-'>Brink. Back from the News/brink-'>Brink. Israel sa s back from the News/brink-'>Brink. Israel says terrorIsts back from the News/brink-'>Brink. Israel says terrorIsts are back from the News/brink-'>Brink. Israel says terrorIsts are firing i says terrorIsts are Firing Rockets over the border, which means that News/tens-of-thousands'>Tens Of Thousands of people have had to leave their homes. There Is a simple principle here, Is there . Due back Israel . To support Israel as, she says, we have no choice but to try to get our people safely back into their homes. I have long supported Israels right have long supported Israels right to have long supported Israels right to News/self-defence'>Self Defence and that has been absolutely clear and consIstent in i have ever said. But the consIstent in i have ever said. But the point where i now Is very but the point where i now Is very close to the News/brink-'>Brink and that very close to the News/brink-'>Brink and that Is very close to the News/brink-'>Brink and that Is why we need to de escalate. It doesnt mean we walk de escalate. It doesnt mean we Walk Away de escalate. It doesnt mean we Walk Away from the problems. It doesnt Walk Away from the problems. It doesnt mean that we dont recognIse the threat that Israel recognIse the threat that Israel Is under, which Is very News/feat-Israel'>Feat Israel Is under, which Is very feat i Israel Is under, which Is very real. I understand that completely and i do support Israels completely and i do support Israels right to News/self-defence'>Self Defence. But thIs Israels right to News/self-defence'>Self Defence. But thIs escalation Is getting to a point where the right thing to a point where the right thing now to do Is to de escalate and have a ceasefire and ensure that we can progress in a different way News/tobias-ellwood'>Tobias Ellwood Is a News/defence-analyst'>Defence Analyst and former conservative mp. He says plans must be made for a potential evacuation of britIsh nationals from lebanon as the conflict threatens to escalate. On current trajectory the News/middle-east'>Middle East Is sliding towards war. A combination of factors are contributing to thIs. A perfect storm for instability with no single stakeholder in control of events. You have got Israel which has used its superior military might in gaza but Is still absent of a long News/term-strategy'>Term Strategy to secure a ceasefire. Hezbollah, the most potent, heavily armed, non News/state-actor'>State Actor in the world, has ratcheted up its attacks from News/southern-lebanon'>Southern Lebanon in support of hezbollah, prompting Israel to understandably retaliate, but now looks set to invade News/southern-lebanon'>Southern Lebanon as Israel has now made securing the News/northern-Israel'>Northern Israel and returning It Citizens their a war aim. Returning It Citizens their a waraim. But returning It Citizens their a war aim. But hezbollah seem committed to continue its attacks until there Is a ceasefire in gaza. And of course you have iran who will step in if its most valued properties seem to be losing. And america that could be influential here Is dIstracted by president ial elections was not and finally have the United Nations where World Leaders gather thIs week and it Is paralysed, behind hezbollah and hamas sits around and russia would veto any calling for restraint. So prospects of further escalation a high with huge consequences for the region and quite rightly the News/uk-government'>Uk Government has instructed all britons to leave and tass military assets, including marines, to the region, ready to help evacuate the 10,000 britons are known to be there conscious to avoid the chaos that We Saw in cabo in august 2021. � ,. ,. , that We Saw in cabo in august 2021. � ,. ,. ,. , 2021.

It will be challenging and you need to think of the full scale of dunkirk. The airport remains open and people can leave under instructed to do so. We have a massive base in the form of akrotiri less than half an News/hours-flight'>Hours Flight away by helicopter. There Is a ship carrying amphibious vehicles and News/landing-craft'>Landing Craft with a large open deck for operations and of course hms duncan, the type 45 can provide News/air-defence'>Air Defence as well. We stress that the military rehearsed thIs. They are putting plans together but now clearly the News/prime-minIster'>Prime MinIster has instructed thIs to go ahead and we probably will see something take place using military assets. Military assets. And ust returning i military assets. And ust returning to i military assets. And ust returning to what i military assets. And just returning to what you i military assets. And just i returning to what you said early dilemma earlier about how you see thIs going, do think we could be in a situation that could be in a situation that could go on for months, like we have seen in gaza . Could go on for months, like we have seen in gaza . Nobody Is in full control have seen in gaza . Nobody Is in full control of have seen in gaza . Nobody Is in full control of where have seen in gaza . Nobody Is in full control of where we have seen in gaza . Nobody Is in full control of where we are full control of where we are going. At least those Issues that remain, the elusive ceasefire in gaza and a third of those hostages, and stability in lebanon, and Is worth noting there there Is a framework, a ceasefire in lebanon already exIsts from a former interaction there. Un resolution 1701. ThIs mandates that withdrawal of hezbollah forces nearly 30 kilometres in from the border. But hassan nasrallah, the hezbollah leader, refuses to do so until Israel withdraws from gaza and indeed we get that ceasefire as well. It Is going to require great effort by the international community, because nobody Is in charge, to put on a sliding towards all out war. We have just been getting a statement from the News/foreign-and-commonwealth'>Foreign And Commonwealth office on the plight of britIsh nationals who are still in lebanon. It says, the safety of britIsh nationals Is our Number One priority and the situation in lebanon Is deeply concerning. They outgoing News/mortar-and-artillery'>Mortar And Artillery exchanges and News/air-strikes'>Air Strikes means the rIsk of escalation remains high. That Is why we are continuing to advIse people to leave now while commercial routes remain available. It goes on to say, we are working in lockstep with our allies to de escalate tensions and that Is why the uk has called for an immediate ceasefire from both sides so we can get the political settlement that Is required and Israeli and lebanese civilians can return to their homes. The britIsh government Is planning for a range of scenarios and Is prepared to provide additional support to britIsh nationals if required. The foreign office saying that the safety of britIsh News/nationals-number'>Nationals Number one priority, very concerning, deeply concerning situation in lebanon and they are urging people to leave now while some commercial routes remain available. We will bring you any other developments on the situation as we get them. Just to remind you you can look at the live page that Is constantly running on thIs story. It has the very latest analysIs and updates from our correspondence about the latest developments. The fact that Israel has had an attempted News/mIssile-strike'>MIssile Strike on News/tel-aviv'>Tel Aviv, city 200 kilometres south, about 137 miles south of the border with lebanon. So far deep into Israel. It was intercepted. There were no casualties but that Is among the latest developments from the latest developments from the News/middle-east'>Middle East on our live page from our correspondence all over the region. Now we are going back to events in liverpool because the conferences wrapping up. We have heard from other News/cabinet-minIster'>Cabinet MinIsters who are yet to speak. A significant vote to come.
