Distant explosions. The israeli bombardment of lebanon continues by night. Explosions. And by day, but the Big Question is what will israel, hezbollah and the militant groups back in iran do next . The israeli Prime Minister described the killing of hezbollah� s leader On Friday as a historic turning point, but said his work is not done. Translation the state of israel eliminated the Master MurdererHassan Nasrallah. We settled accounts with the one responsible for the murder of countless israelis and many citizens of other countries. Nasrallah was not another terrorist, he was the terrorist. Hassan nasrallah was the Beating Heart of hezbollah, Playing A Key role in turning it into a political and military force. It described him as a martyr and vowed to continue its fight against israel. Iran has declared five days of public mourning, and said the death will not go unavenged. Its calling for a meeting of the un security council. The cabinet in lebanon met to condemn israel. Translation the government is doing everything in its power to confront this destructive, hateful war that israel is waging against us, and we went to the united nations looking for a solution and we met with the world leaders, but the enemy went with the intention of treachery and planning more massacres. Officials in lebanon say almost 800 people have been killed by israeli strikes since monday. The us has described Nasrallahs Death as a Measure Ofjustice for his many victims, but its calling again for diplomacy. Reporter Mr President , is a Ground Incursion into lebanon inevitable .

That was naib mikati speaking in the last H Mikati speaking in the last half an Hour Or Mikati speaking in the last halfan hour orso, mikati speaking in the last half an hour or so, the lebanese Prime Minister. Lets speak to yezid sayigh, senior fellow at the malcolm h. Kerr carnegie middle East Center in beirut. Thank you for being with us. First, i dont know whether you were able to hear what the lebanese Prime Minister said there, but he was talking about up there, but he was talking about Up To i there, but he was talking about Up Toi million people being displaced. What is going to be the impact of what is going on there in the country as a whole and if there is a Ground Invasion to come . Well, the im Act Invasion to come . Well, the impact is invasion to come . Well, the impact is clearly invasion to come . Well, the impact is clearly massive. I invasion to come . Well, the i impact is clearly massive. That is a massive number of people to be displaced. There is great uncertainty and when they can go home and of course, three significant number, there will never be a home again in the sense that their homes are being destroyed and so picking up being destroyed and so picking up their lives, resuming, finding livelihoods, the economic cost is massive, this is a country that has been on its knees economically and financially at least since 2019, so the impacts are endless and it will take a very long time change in that picture. Now, a Ground Offensive on the Southern Border by israeli forces i think at this stage will have less of an overall impact on the rest of the country, since the rest of the country, since the major impacts have already been had. Also, until two weeks ago, there was a common assumption that the Ground Invasion was sort of the major front or would be the major front or would be the major front in a full Scale War between israel and hezbollah. But in fact now, simply sort of a mopping up operation, if it happens, it isjust a mopping up operation, if it happens, it is just one of several different Means Israel is using, including Air Strikes and Rocket Strikes and so on, to take out individual weapon stores, Rocket Depots and Missile Launchers and hezbollah squads. So it happens that in the Border Area in the south, the Border Area in the south, the easiest way of dealing with thatis the easiest way of dealing with that is probably for Ground Troops to move in and search, clear out, destroy what they find. But these areas have become mostly depopulated over the last nearly a year of exchanges of fire and so i think the humanitarian aspect there is a lot lower and the overall significance is a lot lower. This is not the main front any more. The main front is what we have seen in the last two weeks. The main battles have basically happened and hezbollah has been, to a large extent, taken apart by what israel has already done. So do you think iran will retaliate, will respond . No. I think it has retaliate, will respond . No. I think it has been retaliate, will respond . No. I think it has been very retaliate, will respond . No. I| think it has been very obvious all year long that iran was not ready for a direct head on confrontation with israel, let alone with the united states. It has done everything it could since then to stay out of a direct battle, while maintaining pressure through various proxy groups in and of Course Lebanon to maintain pressure on israel. But it has become obvious over the last two weeks that iranians, when pushed to the wall, took the strategic decision that they were not going to get involved to protect hezbollah because after all, to protect hezbollah because afterall, hezbollah to protect hezbollah because after all, hezbollah in their view was part of the strategic deterrence that they have been building up over 14 years and the idea that they would intervene to defend the sort of Proxy Deterrent Force possesses everything and put something upside down. Hezbollah is there to protect iran, not the other way around, in the iranian leaderships view, so their decision was almost immediately after the pager attacks two weeks ago and onwards, when it must have been obvious that israel was launching a planned succession of attacks and that every next day was going to bring new surprises, i think from then on, the iranian is understood that their only choice, in their view, was to accept losses. I dont think they see that they will lose hezbollah entirely, but they expect hezbollah to take the blows, suffer its losses and then pick itself up later on and then with the iranians help once again rebuild itself, whether in the same form as before or some new guys with new tactics, etc, that remains to be seen. I dont think hezbollah has given up the fight, although it cannot put up fight, although it cannot put up much of a coherent fight. I will say one thing fair, which is the fact that hezbollah has not yet used what we have all been told is a significant arsenal of ballistic missiles, Precision Guided Missiles and so on. We have not seen these and the Israelis Havent announced that they have taken them out yet, so i think that tells us that hezbollah still has capabilities it is holding back, whether in an organised, Coherent Manner or not, but i think the iranians are particularly telling hezbollah, you are not to use these because they know if hezbollah uses them, this potentially takes everything to the threshold of a direct war between israel and iran. Thank ou ve between israel and iran. Thank you very much between israel and iran. Thank you very much indeed between israel and iran. Thank you very much indeed for you very much indeed for speaking to us, yezid sayigh. Israel has continued with its attacks against senior figures in hezbollah. The israeli military has posted on x that it has killed nabil anuk, who it says was a member of the hezbollah executive council, in what it says was a precise strike. Hezbollah has not confirmed this. And weve received these pictures of the location in beirut where its believed israel carried out the Air Strike which killed the hezbollah leader, Hassan Nasrallah. You can see how a building appears to have been completely reduced to rubble with several nearby buildings also damaged. So what has been the wider reaction in the region to the killing of Hassan Nasrallah . Lets speak to siavash ardalan, seniorjournalist at bbc persian. Thank you for being with us. Can you give us a sense of what persian media, what the persian elite are saying, as reported at the moment . At the moment . Well, the suweme at the moment . Well, the supreme leader at the moment . Well, the supreme leader said at the moment . Well, the supreme leader said the i supreme leader said the national day of mourning, indeed, five days of national mourning and if you walk around the capital today, you see billboards put up by the City Council mourning the deaths of Hassan Nasrallah. Otherwise, i think the mood in iran is one of relief that iran has not decided to forcibly respond, that it will not embark on any military action against israel. Of course, that is not the sentiment among the hardliners. Many of whom are within the government itself, who have urged that iran should show a response, invoking the adage that if iran doesnt respond today in beirut or in tel aviv, tomorrow it will have to respond into iran. But the other people within the iranian system, including the resident, the new president , has called for restraint when they went to the un a few days ago, they talked about diplomacy, they talked about diplomacy, they talked about diplomacy, they talked about reviving the nuclear deal and if iran were to respond very powerfully to israel, as it did back in israel, as it did back in israel when its consulate was tipped in syria, then that would undermine Irans Effort to engage in some sort of Conciliation Or Detente with the west, which seems to be the agenda of the current administration. 50 agenda of the current administration. , administration. So where does that leave administration. So where does that leave things, administration. So where does that leave things, going that leave things, going forward . As yOu Said. Because we also have all the other iranians affiliated proxies in the region, we have these negotiations with this 21 day ceasefire, but we also have a us Election. Us Election. Well, iran has made the us Election. Well, iran has made the strategic us Election. Well, iran has| made the strategic decision us Election. Well, iran has made the strategic decision not to get involved. Perhaps some people are looking at that optimistically, saying iran has realised it cannot promise something that cannot deliver, but it has realised the limitations of the capacity to respond against israel or the us. In some people are looking at that more cynically, they are saying may all this restraint can be explained by Irans Decision not to make it with the nuclear bomb, which is now the only deterrent remaining for iran after a its main proxies has been taken down. So a lot of people are worried about that as well. At the time, you know, the us president ial Elections, it is inaudible israel, as many people have noted, can do what it once and also they are waiting it out to see how it all falls after the 5th of november. 5th of november. Siavash ardalan of 5th of november. Siavash ardalan of Bbc 5th of november. Siavash ardalan of bbc persian, L 5th of november. Siavash ardalan of bbc persian, thank you very much. Lets pause to look at the sport. Here is gavin. Thanks very much. Hello there. Two more matches in the Premier League on sunday. Ipswich Host Aston Villa in the early kick off. Then its Manchester UnitedVs Tottenham at old trafford. Both sides have had mixed starts to the season, with spurs 10th and united iith. Rarely a week goes by without debate over the future of united manager erik ten hag.

For every Game Everyone is expected united to win. We know that. Yeah. It is not a secret for anyone. When you are in this club, you have to deal with this factor, and we do. I think erics in a real toughjob. Hes done really well. You know, he keeps mentioning hes won two trophies and he has, you know. So i dont think thats insignificant. Everyone keeps telling me thats all i have to do. But obviously its not all you have to do, you know . Because when you do that, then theres more. Theres always more. So i think hes done a greatjob. Like i said, a difficultjob. Over in florida, Lionel Messi scored again, as his inter miami team moved to the brink of clinching the Top Seed in the Mls Cup playoffs. Inter had fallen behind to charlotte, before messi scored his 15th goal in 16 mls appearances this season.

Tomas machac will play frances Ugo Humbert for a place in the final of the japan open.

Here, in the uk, the mp Rosie Duffield has told the bbc that prime Minister Sir Keir starmer and his senior Team Care more about power than about making a difference. She has resigned from the Labour Party and will now sit as an independent. Meanwhile, the conservative Party Conference gets under way in birmingham today, with events focusing on choosing a new leader. The four candidates to succeed Rishi Sunak will each make speeches, and take questions from delegates. Cheering let us hear a bit more from Rosie Duffield. Im desperately sorry. It is not at all where i wanted to be. I never thought in A Million years i would leave this party. Im trying not to get upset when im saying that because its in your soul and your heart. And particularly someone like me, im from a very different background to Keir Starmer, i think. And i was a single mum who needed the Labour Party. And since we were last in power, all ive done is deliver those leaflets myself and beg the public to return a labour government. And itsjust so profoundly disappointing to me, as a Labour Voter and an activist and a former, you know, recipient of Tax Credits in a low paid job, tojust see that this is what weve become and its more about Greed And Power than it is about making a difference. And ijust, ijust, I Cant take it any more, im afraid. With me is our chief political correspondent henry zeffman. What more did she say in that interview . She has also written a piece and she has obviously for a long time had a difficult relationship with leadership . Thats right. Rosie duffield has been, i think it is fair to say, Semi Detached from the Labour Party for some time. Nevertheless, a very big deal for her to quit The Party altogether. And to do so in a letter to Keir Starmer, which is direct and incredibly personal its criticism of him as a leader and in terms of the decisions that he has made in his brief time as Prime Minister. What she did on sunday with Laura Kuenssberg to stay few hours ago was to make a string of new criticisms beyond those in the letter. She said she thought the Prime Minister had a woman problem, for example, she talked of the lads she said were advisers around him, very male dominated. And crucially, and this might be concerning for the Labour Leadership, she said this was how a lot of Labour Backbenchers and laser blue Labour Mps like she was yesterday until yesterday at 5pm, also feel this way about the Prime Minister and his team. ,. , the Prime Minister and his team. ,. , ~. , team. Yes, talking about feelin team. Yes, talking about Feeling A team. Yes, talking about Feeling A bit team. Yes, talking about Feeling A bit ignored team. Yes, talking about Feeling A bit ignored by l team. Yes, talking about l Feeling A bit ignored by the leadership. We also heard from Pat Mcfadden this morning defending the leadership. Fiat defending the leadership. Pat mcfadden is a senior cabinet minister, chancellor of the Duchy Of Lancaster is a slightly outdated title, but he really is at the heart of everything that happens in government and he was sent out to calm things down, he said he was sorry she had decided to resign from the Labour Party, he said he liked her, but he also stressed that she had been uneasy in the Labour Party for some time. Essentially i think what he was trying to say implicitly was, you have got all this criticism in this letter which are based on disputes with the Labour Leadership over the last few weeks, really, but actually these go back a long way. A lot of people will be aware that Rosie Duffield has been in dispute, really, with the Labour Leadership, especially over womens rights and transgender issues for several years and that Predatesjo Xinyu SirKeir Starmer. Although. Also we were talking about the row. What did Ou Sa . Talking about the row. What did yOu Say . Thats talking about the row. What did yOu Say . Thats right talking about the row. What did yOu Say . Thats right because l yOu Say . Thats right because when the things Rosie Duffield delighted on in her letter to Keir Starmer was the Donations Row around Keir Starmer at the same time as he decided to withdraw the Winter Fuel Allowance from pensioners and that was a decision she had been very critical of. Pat mcfadden said the government is going to bring forward new rules, he said there were going to be tied to transparency requirements and Government Ministers specifically. Actually, all the gifts we are talking about were received by Labour Politicians before they were Government Ministers, but he says now they are Government Ministers there are going to be tighter rules than were applied to previous conservative ministers. It is all a bit technical and intricate, buti think people political significance of announcing that is is actually the government, the Labour Party is recognising that they didnt take this story seriously enough when it started, they probably underestimated the scale of public frustration, perhaps evenin public frustration, perhaps even in some Quarters Anger with what has been disclosed here. I think that was Pat Mcfarlane and the government trying to draw a line under it, say they get it and i hope they can move on. Say they get it and i hope they can move om can move on. Yes, lots of questions can move on. Yes, lots of questions remaining can move on. Yes, lots of questions remaining on. Can move on. Yes, lots of. Questions remaining on how can move on. Yes, lots of questions remaining on how they operate in government and the popularity of the Prime Minister has fallen a lot since the Election, in a very short space of time. But they are looking, as everyone will be now, to the conservatives. Can they give them a good run for their money in the next Election . We are going to find out soon in the next few weeks who the Tory Leader is and more to come this week . I who the Tory Leader is and more to come this week . To come this week . I shall disappoint to come this week . I shall disappoint you, to come this week . I shall disappoint you, it to come this week . I shall disappoint you, it is to come this week . I shall disappoint you, it is still i disappoint you, it is still over a month away until we find out who the new Conservative Leader is. Its a very long leadership contest. Quite unusual sequencing because they have already whittled the field six down to floor. There are then four at the conservative Party Conference in birmingham this week appealing to Conservative Party members, being put through their paces in a series of conservative events by party members. But there is no vote this week, they will then come back to parliament next week where conservative mps will have their say again and they will whittle it down to three and then too. And finally Conservative Party members, No Doubt informed at least in part i would happens at the conference this week, will decide on the two with the final announcement on Second November. Final announcement on Second November november. Lots of talk about weather kept november. Lots of talk about weather kept his november. Lots of talk about weather kept his reform november. Lots of talk about weather kept his reform are i weather kept his reform are really challenging the conservatives and their agenda. Does that explain what we have seen from Kemi Badenoch Today . Is certainly the case that reform are challenging the conservatives in the sense that they took five mps from them. But the very live debate underpinning this Election is, do you just chase the votes you lost to reform . Should you chase the votes lost to the liberal democrats, who won far less seats, but far more votes . Kemi badenoch, who is on the favoured candidates for the leadership, former business secretary, she has been talking this morning about immigration, she is saying it does notjust about numbers, it is also about culture and she said the british state has been essentially too squeamish about saying there are some cultures that are not as good as others. That is essentially what she argued and she had a long exchange with Laura Kuenssberg about what she did and didnt mean by that. Robertjenrick, who is at this point the front runner and came top in the votes of conservative mps, he is also big on immigration, he said this isnt about numbers, primarily, the numbers is what is putting pressure on public services is his argument and as a result a new Conservative Leader and potential conservative government would need a very clear commitment to bring numbers down to a certain level before you get into other questions about immigration. Has there been any response to what Kemi Badenoch is set . Some people say she is known for being very forthright, but issue being deliberately divisive . Issue being deliberately divisive . ,. , divisive . Not particularly yet, in terms of divisive . Not particularly yet, in terms of the divisive . Not particularly yet, in terms of the response divisive . Not particularly yet, in terms of the response i divisive . Not particularly yet, i in terms of the response i have seen. It might also be a reflection of the fact that yes, the Conservative Party has been buoyed in recent weeks by the fact that labour have had their troubles, Labours Poll ratings have, but were still just three months into what is most likely a five year parliament. The conservatives, whatever they say, it doesnt necessarily drive the national debate in the same way as what is happening in The Party of government does. Bill is happening in The Party of government does. Government does. All very interesting, government does. All very interesting, as government does. All very interesting, as ever. Government does. All very | interesting, as ever. Henry zeffman, thank you for being with us.

This is bbc news. Hello. Certain areas dont need it at the moment, but more rain in the forecast in the next days. Saying on the Cool Side as well. As we go through the middle part of the week and beyond, things should brighten up. That is your week in a nutshell. Todays wet and windy weather from this area of low pressure pushing in through the start of the day. Strengthening winds and gales now across wales, and winds picking up in northern ireland. Outbreaks of rain starting to develop more widely in these areas through the afternoon, becoming more heavy and persistent through the rest of wales and across devon and cornwall. Away from that, most places dry, a bit of brightness around, especially in scotland, a fair weather around, after chilly started will feel warmer in the afternoon, 13 15. Lets focus on the rain if you are on the move, occasional rain in northern ireland, but longer spells of Heavy Rain in wales and the South West gradually starting to work its way in and turning right across other parts of england. Most persistent rain will be overnight, drifting through South West of wales and england, the gust of wind 50 60 mph, the strongest around the wales and south coast. A cold, windy night is that wind freshens. Here is the chart for monday, the Air Pressure becomes slow moving at almost stalls across south england. It does mean persistent rain pushes into parts of East Anglia for a time, but mainly northern england, yorkshire, lincolnshire and the East Midlands down towards the west. Some rain out on the far west as well. Those Rain Totals topped up across parts of yorkshire, the midlands, we could have some issues. Further south, brighterand could have some issues. Further south, brighter and a bit milder. A bit of Air Pressure hangs around into tuesday, just offshore, bringing in some strong and cool winds into the east coast. We could see rain work their way through eastern counties, but coming westwards and northwards, much brighter, some spells of hazy sunshine, many places staying dry. Still on the Cool Side, especially in that wind. But the rain eventually clears from the South East during wednesday, most places becoming dry and bright, but some overnight Fog And Frost to see the week out. This is bbc news, the headlines.
