I know it is a difficult time for you to talk about what happened to you personally and the experience of your friends at that Music Festival. It was just a Music Festival. It was just a Music Festival based as it should have been a fun, joyous time. I clearly intended to be anything but. But really good to have you with us, michal, grateful for your time this morning, and we thank you for speaking to us at bbc news. As you can see on screen, we take you back to the site of the Nova Music Festival, reim, at the centre of the attacks on the morning of the attacks on the morning of October Seven, a year ago. As we said, friends and family of those caught up in the tragedy marking that moment. A little earlier there was a minutes silence to mark the moment that the music at that festival stopped, when it was quite clear that the barrage of rockers they were being fired by hamas into israel became clear it was only a little later that government appeared at the festival, killing civilians, 364 killed, many more wounded, at the open air Music Festival, during what was a jewish Holiday Weekend. There were also 40 people taken hostage. A number still unaccounted for. This take you back to the festival. Lets listen to some of the music being played in memorial, in remembrance, of what happened there, exactly one year ago. So that is what was happening there at the sight of the Nova Music Festival, marking one year since the October Seven attacks that has kickstarted a conflict that one year later is still raging on multiple fronts. I also want to take you to the picture you can see on the right of the screen, and jerusalem, where families are hostages have gathered, calling for the focus to remain on those who are still missing, still being held captive by annemasse In Gaza. The latest count suggest 97 hostages are still missing. There is still quite clearly a lot of concern for the fate of the hostages being held In Gaza right now. That on the right of your screen is that gathering go the demonstration, reminding the World that many are still missing, one year on from the tragedy that unfolded at the Nova Music Festival. In israel. And the timing of this right now is particularly significant, of course. This attack was the took place in the early hours, a Holiday Weekend in israel. It was an open air Music Festival. Many young people where they are gathered and yet, first of all, there was a sign of rockets that passed overhead that, in some respects, not a huge surprise. People there had been used to sing rockets overhead but then a little later armed gunmen arrived at the site of that festival, attacking third and 64 individuals who were killed, and 40 people who were taken hostage. As you can see there, friends and families gathering to remember their Loved Ones. But many, as i said, still missing. One year on, as we said, the war is still raging on a number of fronts. I wonder what has changed in that year. Lets get the thoughts of a americas, a senior Lecturer Genius from the university of sydney. Eyal mayroz. We will stay with his images of the commemoration, of the memorial under way right now in israel. But that before that question to you. Here we are, one year on, what has changed in the region . Are we any closer right now to a resolution . I any closer right now to a resolution . Resolution . I think it is a Aood Resolution . I think it is a good question. Resolution . I think it is a good question. I resolution . I think it is a good question. I think. Resolution . I think it is a | good question. I think we resolution . I think it is a good question. I think we have a lot of ups and downs in relation to the prospects for a ceasefire, which is, you know, the first thing you need to do before you think ahead what will happen next. But i think at the moment we are far away from a solution as we were over the last year, because of what had happened there or what has been happening in lebanon, and now in iran stop so both global and also the israeli focus has shifted up north or towards iran and both the hostages and the dozen people are kind of forgotten. We may think of them, we may remember them on one day today, or maybe a couple of days, but empathy is very short lived and i think part of the reason why everything is short lived is because the same part of the brain that generates empathy is also the same pipe that generates Fear and there at this stage certainly conquers empathy and Fear. This stage certainly conquers empathy and Fear. There is also the Poiarising Empathy and Fear. There is also the polarising of empathy and Fear. There is also the polarising of Opinions Empathy and Fear. There is also the polarising of opinions and l the polarising of opinions and views year. The idea that you are either pro israeli or pro palestinian, and there is no evidence in the two. But that means coming to any sort of resolution is increasingly difficult, isnt it . Difficult, isnt it . Yes, i read a difficult, isnt it . Yes, i read a few difficult, isnt it . Yes, i read a few articles difficult, isnt it . Yes, i| read a few articles about difficult, isnt it . Yes, i read a few articles about it. In one of them i said it is very lonely in the middle, and the problem is that polarisation doesnt lead us to any any closer to any solution because the prospect for the palestinian State And Self determination is tied to the ability to provide security for israelis and as long as this polarisation and each side is digging his heels but also focusing on all kinds of evidence that only supports what they think, and by rejecting or ignoring anything else, we are no closer to understanding that reality and therefore pushing government to do more, because, at the moment, the israelis are the right israeli government is not willing to do much and the only way forward is so very strong, if you like, steps by the international community. Mostly international community. Mostly in this case, at least in the short term by the americans, then later on or together with allies and other countries around europe and other parts of the World. Of the World. Eyal, stay with us. Of the World. Eyal, stay with us stay of the World. Eyal, stay with us. Stay there. Of the World. Eyal, stay with us. Stay there. I of the World. Eyal, stay with us. Stay there. I want of the World. Eyal, stay with us. Stay there. I want to of the World. Eyal, stay with | us. Stay there. I want to take our viewers back to events in israel. This is the memorial service, the commemoration of events at the site of the Nova Music Festival, where all of this began, a year ago today. As we said, the timing particularly significant. It was around 6 30am local time that there was the first indication that something wasnt right, missiles flying overhead, then later government turned up at the site. We have been Hearing Stories come already, this morning, but over the past couple of days in the past year of those who were caught up there, that meant that they had to hide for many hours go anywhere they could. Some tried to escape into run. Others were shot and gunned down as they left the site about Music Festival, on what was supposed to be a Music Festival, a Holiday Weekend in israel. So as that continues, lets take a listen to some of the events taking place there. Singing so families and friends of those caught up there are marking this significant moment. It isjust marking this significant moment. It is just the first of a number of events that will take place throughout the day, marking the timeframe and the timescale of what happened there. As we said, it was 630 local time when this began to unfold. Subsequently militants arrived, shooting rather indiscriminately at people at that site, killing a number. We think about 364 were killed, many more taken hostage. Lets listen to what the Family Members are discussing. Transplant October Seven became a symbol, a symbol for generations, a symbol of the inconceivable evilness that took place here. Translation took place here. Translation . , ~ translation October Seven. A Feelin TranslationOctober Seven. A Feeling Almighty translation October Seven. A Feeling Almighty that translation October Seven. A Feeling Almighty that we Feeling Almighty that we shouldnt feel again. Feeling almighty that we shouldnt feelagain. How Feeling Almighty that we shouldnt feel again. How much people here care about Each Other, a symbol of the struggle of our Sons And Daughters, for their lives. Today, a year after we stand at the place where our Sons And Daughters were murdered, raped, and burnt alive by Scum Of The Earth monsters, because all they wanted to do was reduce and dance before the holiday. We, the families, and all israelis, and people from all over the World, commemorate the memory of our Loved Ones every day, and especially today, in the only place which is the most appropriate place for the event to be held, year at the campground at the Nova Music Festival, and in the nearby sites of other festivals, not anywhere else. People say about us that we, the families, our background noise, a minority that should be ignored. We are not a minority. We will never be a Minority Nor Background noises, and here, today, and throughout this horrible year, we, the families, have formed a community, a strong community, thatis community, a strong community, that is bonded together, helping Each Other in all areas of life. And we will insist proudly on everything we deserve as breed families, to all the Family Members, not just the parents. We will demand a proper national commemoration for our children, and we will demand proper and adequate treatment of all members of the families. This community has a reality, and it represents you, and we work so hard, day and night, ourSons And Daughters have been abandoned, and we will not allow them to abandon us. We will not allow them to abandon the siblings of our Loved Ones. We will never forget the survivors, the friends of our beloved children, who went through hell here.

You are listening to that. One line are listening to that. One line from the defence forces coming from the defence forces coming through now that they are through now that they are attacking areas belonging to attacking areas belonging to hamas along the gaza strip. So hamas along the gaza strip. So while this is a moment of reflection and remembrance, Rages On. Reflection and remembrance, Rages On reflection and remembrance, Rages On.

Yes, this is the sad reality, the families of the i reality, the families of the hostages, alive and dead, have been struggling for a long time to try and get the israeli public to pressure the government, strongly enough, for a ceasefire, and so far have been failing. The ethos on which israel was built was an ethos of support for Each Other, for caring, and major responsibility. And i think in the last year this ethos has kind of if not dwindled down then even worse. So this is a reality that as long as the Fear is controlling peoples mines, the war, the war on different fronts, then we will continue to see that ignoring the families are trying to push not only for empathy but also for shame, and maybe a little bit more on a day like that that could maybe add to that shame that israelis, i think i should feel more of, and certainly the government of israel should feel more of.

I think that if you listen today to Mr Shawjust now to think that if you listen today to Mr Shawjust not but towards say to bring peace. But towards a long, faraway peace. And therefore it is the responsibility of the international community to do so. And governments for decades have shied away from taking strong action. They kind of Build Theirforeign strong action. They kind of build their Foreign Policy to minimise the damage to their own interests, rather than to advance a solution. And i think it is up to the international community to to do something that it hasnt done for so many decades. , ~ that it hasnt done for so many decades. ,. ,. , that it hasnt done for so many decades. , ~ ,. ,. ,. , decades.

We go back to israel and this is one of a number of memorials planned throughout the day as israel marks one year on from the attacks of October Seven, when hamas gunmen took 251 people hostage. Nearly 42,000 people have since been killed In Gaza during the conflict. You are watching bbc news. Good evening. And unsettled Picture Weatherwise going through the next few days, but a pretty start early this morning. Red skies as captured by our weather watchers. They have is downpours were to the west, some showers pushing further east at times. Not as much sunshine as we saw yesterday. But the chance of some bright and sunny spells as we go through the next few days, accompanied by blustery showers. Brisk southerly winds, so the air is mild and warm for the time of year, even. Unsettled because low pressure is the dominant force. It is up towards the west of ireland, with bands of Rain Showers swelling around it. That sets the scene for the rest of tonight. Further bands of Rain Pushing and eastwards. Some spells over northern areas of england, and through the southern half of the uk through dawn tomorrow. Here temperatures could drop back into high single figures. Otherwise ill start, double figures pretty much across the board. Tomorrow, the low pressure remains out towards the west. Again there will be further showers among the spells of rain at times. It had a picture across scotland. Rain on and off here the other day. It clears from Northern Ireland and moves into northern and western england. They could be buttery downpours in Southern Wales and Southwest England through the afternoon. You could catch a show almost anywhere. A little less frequent to the some sunny spells and in the best of the sunshine, 16 19 degrees, but this is not average. Heading through tuesday, so the focus of the heaviest downpours could be across the southern half of the uk. Quite frequent showers here, but bright and sunny in between. Another bed of Rain Pushing north into scotland. Again, quite a bit of cloudy. Once again, and the rest of the sunshine, it will fill warm for the time of year, damages generally 14 18 degrees. Wednesdays weather needs watching. This area low pressure has been remnants of hurricane cope. At the moment we think the worst of the weather will be across northern fronts, moving into the low countries. In some of the rain could move into kent, perhaps. We could see some blustery winds down low sea facing coasts, then it is a lot colder. Goodbye. A day that shook the World one year on from the Hamas Attack on israel, we look at the global impact, political and economic. And amid escalating conflict, Oil Prices remain volatile. Last week, crude saw the biggest gains since russia invaded ukraine. Live from london, this is business today. Im ben thompson. Its the october 7, exactly one year since the attack by hamas on israel that killed more than 1,200 israelis and sparked a Military Response thats left more than 40,000 dead In Gaza and beyond. Israel is marking the day with a series of commemorations. In the last hour, the day has begun with a ceremony at the site of the Nova Music Festival close to the gaza border, where the first attacks by hamas gunmen took place just before 6 30 local time
