Nhs checks in school. Welcome to the programme. The mosque was next to hospital, the humanitarian situation is worsening, at least four hospitals closed in Southern Lebanon because of israeli Air Strikes. Officials say they have had to turn away emergency patients. The World Health Organization says at least 37 Health Care facilities have now closed since israel began its Air Bombardment of lebanon two weeks ago. In the northern part of tripoli and israeli strike on an Apartment Building is reported to have killed a Hamas Commander and three members of his family. Israel has yet to comment on strikes in Northern Israel this morning. Lebanons capital, pummelled by explosions yet again. This was the scene overnight, one week on since the leader of hezbollah was killed, this conflict is escalating. And the suffering of the lebanese people is intensifying. The United Nations says that most of the 900 shelters that have appeared across the country are now full. Hundreds of men, women and children are forced to sleep in the open. The toll on civilians from this campaign is totally u na cce pta ble. All parties must do whatever they can at all times to protect civilians and civilian infrastructure, and ensure that civilians are never put in harms way. And tension is mounting over how israel will respond to this. Last week, iran fired around 200 ballistic missiles at its enemy. Most were shot down, but america is concerned that Israels Retaliation could open up a dangerous new front in this war. President Biden Last Night suggested strikes against iranian Oil Facilities were not the solution. The israelis have not concluded what theyre going to do in terms of a strike, thats under discussion. I think if i were in their shoes, id be thinking about other alternatives than striking oil fields. On israels northern border with lebanon, the sounds of war are neverfar. For those that remain, the fear is constant. Its more than afraid. Afraid is something forjust a few minutes. We have one year of afraid. Fear for a long time, and we dont know when, how it will finish. And more Uk Nationals have been evacuated on special flights organised by the british government. Another plane is scheduled to Leave Beirut tomorrow. Israel says its offensive in lebanon will continue until hezbollah no longer poses a threat for the civilians caught in the middle, the agony of war drags on. Will vernon, bbc news. Lets speak to the bbc� s lina sinjab. It is another night of Air Strikes targeting this area. In the south of beirut, but also borders the airport in the south of lebanon. There has been no information of who was the target overnight. Thats the current scenario of israeli Air Strikes in beirut, but also in the south, heightened tension, more Air Strikes and the attacks are now also targeting paramedics and hospitals in areas, Nine Paramedics were injured. According to hezbollah over the past couple of days, at least 11 paramedics have been killed in his ways the strikes. Nine paramedics were injured, we hear issue has targeted a mosque adjacent of the Health Facilities. They say his brother is operating there, threatening to even target ambulances because they say his brother is using them to move people, fighters and weapons. All what we see there is no were excluded from any imminent israeli targets because they can always say it is his brother or hamas and they hit. Mostly civilians are caught in this battle. This battle. Four hospitals at least closed this battle. Four hospitals at least closed in this battle. Four hospitals at least closed in southern least closed in Southern Lebanon due to israeli Air Strikes. As you say, the Israeli Army accuses his brother of using medical vehicles to transport fighters and weapons and says it has made efforts to prevent damage and prevent damage to civilian infrastructure but doctors on the ground have a different story, what are you hearing from them . Story, what are you hearing from them . There has been several attacks from them . There has been several attacks were from them . There has been several attacks were paramedics and Health Workers are caught in the battle. Whether the 12 days ago here in central beirut, really residential area, targeted a health facility, we have learned at least six people were killed in that attack. Now we have reports also in the south, the World Health Organization says 37 Health Facilities are out of service because of threats of israeli strikes. Of course, one was targeted yesterday. Health workers and officials are really running around the clock trying to help all the injured people in need of help. They should be excluded from any attack. That is what the israelis are claiming. The view from the ground is that no one is challenging israel on its aggression in lebanon. That is expanding beyond fighting his brother but also know its Health Facilities and Health Workers caught in the fire. Just briefly, more than i million people now in lebanon displaced as a result of this ongoing conflict. Bring us up to date on what support theyre getting and where they are going to. It theyre getting and where they are going ta are going to. It is officially 1. 2 million are going to. It is officially 1. 2 million are are going to. It is officially 1. 2 million are displaced. L are going to. It is officially 1. 2 million are displaced. Most of them have reached the city of them have reached the city of beirut where they thought it would be Safe Haven for them, 900 shelters are almost full with people displaced. Those who have the Money Renting out apartments, staying in hotels are fleeing to the mountains. Many crossed the border into syria, so really it is a terrible situation and the number of people fleeing is on the rise. All of those, they need food, they need Health Care, sanitation. They need water, electricity, all of this is stretching the capacity of an already crippled economy in this country. So Aid And Support from the international community is immensely needed and the government has already. Some aiders arriving but that is way less than needed for this catastrophe. Lina sinjab. Well this map shows Weapon Strikes across the region up until friday night. Israel has ordered residents in these southern lebanese communities about 30 villages here marked in orange, to leave their homes for their own safety. Yes, the most notable development overnight as the fighting has continued not far from here across the border in Southern Lebanon. This particular village are said to be at the heart of some quite fierce fighting overnight. Certainly, hezbollah as saying on the Social Media this morning that overnight, they engaged as they put it israeli fighters, there was a big explosion, that they injured israeli troops and force them to retreat. That is a claim from hezbollah. We put that to the israeli defense forces this morning asking for clarification on potential incidents or potential casualties on their side and there hasnt been any information given at the moment. It may well be in the coming hours we get more. We have heard some loud explosions in the past few hours. Much louder than yesterday. That reflects the israeli operation growing. Of course, we are in one position. This is a snapshot of what is happening. In the past hour or so, it is worth pointing out, if we go from the south to gaza, the israeli forces there are telling more people to evacuate in the centre of the Gaza Strip and at the same time, the Hamas Run Health And Ministry in gaza are saying that 23 people have been killed in operations there. There is a lot of speculation about what israels next move might be for retaliation against iran for their strikes towards israel earlier in the week. Some mutterings that retaliation could come at any hour from now. Yes, the prime minister benjamin netanyahu, with hours of the attack on Tuesday Night when iran sent some 180 ballistic missiles across to israel, he responded saying there would be grave consequences. Since then there has been a vacuum of information. It has been thejewish new year holiday. Thats one reason as to why we have not seen anything yet. In the absence of any firm Military Action for the israelis, there has been lots of speculation, notably on the us, what would the americans tolerate or be prepared to help with in terms of the israeli response . We heard president biden, he was asked would you support any attack on Iranians Nuclearfacilities or Nuclear Tech Facilities . He said he wouldnt. Then they were in conversations about possibly hitting Irans Oil facilities. The latest we hear is that he would not want to see that. The israelis have been calibrating what they are going to do next. Now the holidays are over here, we might see some intense activity in the coming hours or days. Nick beake, Military Transport planes and civilian charter flights have continued to use Beirut Airport to evacuate foreign nationals, even as israeli Air Strikes continue in the nearby southern suburbs. Britain has flown out three charter flights with a fourth due to leave on sunday. The south korean Air Force flew Ninety Seven nationals out of the country early on saturday. Australia which had 15,000 citizens in lebanon has been flying aircraft in from nearby cyprus. There are also plans for a seaborne evacuation. China said 200 citizens had been safely evacuated. Lets turn to the us. The republican nominee for the us presidency, Donald Trump, will return to the city of butler in the State Of Pennsylvania later today where he was injured in an Assassination Attempt at a rally injuly. Our correspondent gary odonoghue, who was there at the time of the attack, has returned to the Swing State to speak to people who were affected that day including the widow of a former Volunteer Fire Fighter who was killed hit by a bullet meant for mr trump. My youngest daughter pulled out his senior photo that he had given to me. And on the back he had written that i was his best. Thanked me for being his best friend. And he actually teared up and looked at me and said, thank you for being my best friend. So it was just kind of weird that we had that moment, you know, the day before. Throughout the rally, corey had joked how he believed the former president would get him up on stage. Less than a week later, Coreys Jacket was displayed on stage as Donald Trump accepted the republican nomination. When trump told me he was going to do that, we were all sitting here and watching it and. I just cried because, you know, i said, he got his moment on stage with trump. So, you know, it was kind of like a nice moment, but it was a sad moment at the same time. Two people with an exceptional view that day were a mother and son, ii year old gino, dressed as the former president , just feet from the stage. I felt everything. I felt sad, scared, mad that someone would do this. Angry that theres political violence, violence at all. L we have to respect our political leaders. We might not always agree but no need for violence. L he had a rifle. Just outside the rally, me and my team were talking to trump supporters about what theyd seen when one man told us an extraordinary story. His words would reverberate around the world. Three months later, he has no regrets. I feel proud of it. I everything that i told you that| night has proven out to be true from everything thats come out since then. I greg smith. The United Nations says at least 70 people have been killed in a Gang Attack in haiti. The un human Rights Office says armed men blown were using automatic rifles to shoot residents.

It makes it a little bit easier, i have good things to focus on, i have good things to focus on, i have a goal in mind. I have put myself forward, worked hard with the medical team to get to where i am at now. I am further ahead of what i expected today. I will be working hard over the next ten days to try to be fit.

Children and young people in england with Special Educational Needs will be offered nhs eyesight, dental and ear checks in their schools from next year. All residential Special Schools and colleges will be included, to reach 18 Thousand pupils. Heres more from our health reporter, michelle roberts. Hi, rashid. Are you ready for the Hearing Screening Today . Going for a Hearing Test can be daunting. Not least if you are a young person who is visually impaired and has learning difficulties. This special Residential School in South London is part of a new Nhs Scheme getting trained teachers to do the checks themselves. Problems can be spotted sooner and quickly referred to be treated. Your ears are absolutely fine. I have been having Hearing Checks at school. Lily, who is 15, is partially sighted and has been worried about her hearing as well because deafness runs in her family. I was a bit scared that when i get older that i would inherit that as well. So i really wanted my ears checked to make sure that im 0k. Her teacher did this screening, which lily says was a far better experience than going to a clinic. I do not like going to the doctor because i find it a bit scary. But at school it is more comfortable because i know everyone here so it is much more relaxed. Tell me about what it felt like having the Hearing Test. It felt a little funny. In the ear. A little weird. But it was only in there for a couple of seconds so it was ok. And what were the results when you got the Test Results back . Perfect. That is brilliant. She will continue to have regular checks to make sure it remains that way. We can keep on top of it and if anything changes we know straightaway. See that little hole down there . So that is a perforation. The boy with the hole in his eardrum had been anxious about having the checkup. It took a few tries to get in there and we also needed breaks throughout. We had the luxury to stop and follow up the following day with the same people in the same place, having given him the verbal support and physical support. We got to this result. Without that, it would be another appointment in one months time. He may have gotten healed anyway, great, but what if not . We are going in. For students with complex needs, they lose so much time off school for appointmentsl so at least this appointment can happen here. Are we ready . Were going to kick off. Ready everybody . Are we ready . Staff at the school says it has been really beneficial for students. Zoom Zoom Zoom yes this is the best place because they know this space. Being able to offer this, again, during the School Day with people who are very familiar with these young people is a massive benefit for families, for the community, for school, for everyone. Nhs eyesight, dental and ear checks will soon be offered to all residential Special Schools and colleges in england, reaching 18,000 pupils. Michelle roberts, bbc news. Families bereaved by the Ladbroke Grove Rail disaster have laid flowers at the memorial to honour those killed 25 years ago. 31 people died and more than 400 were injured when two passenger trains collided at Rush Hour in west london.

The mp for Belfast South and mid down, claire hanna, is to be confirmed as the new leader of the social democratic and Labour Party at its annual conference today.

Lets Ta Ke lets take your life to beirut, you can see smoke continuing to fill the skies there, it comes as more israeli Air Strikes have Hit Beirut after the israeli military is one people in the southern suburb to evacuate. Stay with us. It was a bit of a chilly start to the day for some of us, particularly across central and eastern parts of england, with some mistiness around too. Any mist is now cleared away, and for the rest of today were looking at Sunny Spells pretty widely. Some rain in the forecast across parts of the northwest of the uk, and thats down to the fact that weve got low pressure moving in from the west. So this frontal system here will spill some rain in. But high pressure sitting to the east is really winning out and dominating the weather for many of us. So england and wales, dry, fine, long spells of sunshine. Just a bit of Cloud Building into the afternoon. For parts of Northern Ireland and scotland, especially for antrim and down, in towards the central belt, for instance, were looking at a bit more sunshine developing into the afternoon. Still a bit of rain for the northwest of scotland, in towards Fermanagh And Tyrone as well. Top temperatures in the mid to high teens for most of us, so feeling pleasantly mild out there. Through the evening hours, this area of rain will move in across the southwest of england and wales too. Could be the odd heavy burst, but becoming lighter and more patchy in nature as that cloud spills its way further eastwards. You might be hoping to get a glimpse of the Northern Lights tonight, but we will see quite a bit of cloud moving in. Best chance probably across parts of northern scotland. Now, through the day tomorrow, this frontal system edges its way slowly further eastwards. The Warm Front will tend to peter out through the day. So yes, a few spots of rain initially in the morning across parts of england and scotland, as well. Some heavier bursts for Northern Ireland, wales and the southwest of england as that Cold Front moves in during the afternoon. But i think some eastern areas will stay mostly dry for a good part of the day. Top temperatures tomorrow similar to what weve got today, especially in the south. With that breeze coming in from the south, mild air, 17, possibly 18 degrees, a little Bit Cooler across the north of scotland. Monday and tuesday, you can see these winds wrapping around an area of low pressure, so some showers on the way. But cast your eyes towards the south. This big area of rain here that is likely to be the remnants of Ex Hurricane kirk, could bring some wet and windy weather for some of us into the middle of the week. Now for monday, Sunny Spells and scattered showers moving in from the southwest. The odd heavy one, could be the Odd Thunderstorm around on monday as well. In between any of the showers, still a bit of sunshine, still reasonably mild with temperatures in the mid to high teens again, but its really through into the middle of the week, wednesday, possibly thursday. Although that Ex Hurricane may well stay to the south, it could still bring some pretty wet and windy weatherfor a time in the middle of the week. And then things turn colder again towards the end of next week. This is bbc news, the headlines.
