Warn an extremely dangerous category four hurricane is on the way. Memorial events are taking place in israel, and Around The World, to remember the victims of the hamas attacks on israel, exactly one year ago, in which nearly 1200 people were killed, and 250 taken hoStage. In israel, shortly after daybreak, president Isaac Herzog joined a Memorial Service at the scene of the nova Music Festival, marking the moment it came under attack. Yemen without itself is part of what they call the axis of resistance against israel. The airport has now been shot. This is Notjust Airport has now been shot. This is not just a airport has now been shot. This is notjust a day for morning. This is a day also of increased worry about the Security Situation and indeed across the region. But we will continue, though, to continue on all of the events lets begin with how the events lets begin with how the day started here in israel. It started in Southern Israel at the site of the Music Festival the first Vigil Led by the president of israel. And there they played the last track that was played at 6 29am at that Music Festival a year ago. The music stops and the carnage began so they played the music again today. The time at 6 29am and many in Southern Israel then walked to the sound of sirens along because of the border. A few moments later, siren sounded here in Tel Aviv and nearby cities in Central Israel as rockets fired by hamas from gaza that rains down on many cities in israel. At 6 50am i mass fighters and others breached is real� s much vaunted security fences, entering towns and launching assaults on multiple locations. By assaults on multiple locations. By 8 01iam the Israeli Army declared a state of the war. At 10 25am the Idf Spokesperson announced an operation. Before noon, the prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed Benjamin Neta Nyahu addressed the Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the nation from Tel Aviv, declaring that israel was at war. As fighting continued in Southern Israel, by 3 41 in the afternoon, Israeli Fighterjets began striking targets within gaza. That is how it all began. The horrific events of october seven. They triggered a war in gaza which has been unprecedented in every way. The un says 42,000 palestinians, most of them women and children, have lost their lives, so far. And they say more than 60 of guys at lies in utter ruin. And in the last few weeks another front has opened as israel has intensified its attacks against hezbollah in lebanon. Which has been Firing Rockets into israel. Lets take a look at all the latest Developments Today as the rockets continue today as the rockets continue to cross Israels Border with this report from our correspondent. Yolande knell reports. Correspondent. Siren wails. Correspondent. Sirens marked the exact moment a year ago when israels deadliest day began. Waves of hamas fighters from gaza led a bloody attack on a dance festival, Army Bases and villages, seizing hoStages. This is a day of painful remembrance. They destroyed our house and our life. Oh, god, where are you . This woman from Nir 0z going back to the home where her Mother And Niece were killed. Her Son And Daughter were kidnapped by hamas and held for 52 days Before they were released in a truce deal. But she says they are still living the nightmare of the 7th of october. Her Ex Husband is one of dozens of hoStages stuck in gaza. Last seen alive in a tunnel by his daughter. We know that every moment his life is. Can be gone. 0ur Life is on hold. We cant think. About future, we cant think about nothing else. Last years shocking assault triggered the deadliest ever war against palestinians. With relentless israeli bombardment. Most of Gazas Population forced from their homes. A humanitarian catastrophe. And every day brings new casualties. Last month an israeli Air Strike hit the Younis Family home, killing a six year old and his grandmother. Translation i want to know why. We are civilians, we pose no threat. Now in hospital, ahmed tries to cheer his surviving children with memories of happier days. They have lost all they owned and they are in constant pain. Translation i want my children and my wife to be treated. If i could, i would take them abroad. There is no safety. I hope from god that the war stops today Before tomorrow. Instead, the fighting is now spreading in the Middle East, and that leaves many palestinians and israelis desperately worried that World Attention is shifting away from their suffering. Yolande knell, bbc news, jerusalem. On this day of Mourning And Remembrance but also of intense Security Alert here in israel the prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held an emergency meeting. Israeli prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has held a special Cabinet Meeting in jerusalem. He said israel was changing the Security Reality in the region. Members of the government, citizens of israel, we are gathering today for a special morning meeting. One yearago, hamas terrorists launched a Surprise Attack against the state of israel, against the citizens of israel. Shortly after that massacre, i said, we are in a war. Not an operation. We will fight back with the force, the enemy has never seen. We are at war and we will win it. Since that black day, we have been fighting. This is a warfor our we have been fighting. This is a war for our existence. The war of resurrection. That is how i would like to officially call the war. We are changing the Security Reality of our region for the sake of our children, for the sake of our future, and to ensure what happened on october seven will not happen again. The happened on october seven will not happen again. Not happen again. The prime Minister Bet not happen again. The prime Minister Bet netanyahu Minister Bet netanyahu emphasising it as if Youll Hell make the decisions regarding Israels Security put up regarding Israels Security put up in a passive made a point of almost boasting about its aims are many countries have been putting pressure on me to end the war, not to open a front in lebanon. We arejoined by the. Joining me now Isjose Manuel Albares who is the Spanish Minister of foreign affairs. Thank you forjoining us. I must begin by asking you about your reflections on this day of october the 7th. Israel describes it as the deadliest day in israeli history. Something that changed israel for ever. ,. , something that changed israel forever. ,. , , for ever. Today of course it is a day of for ever. Today of course it is a day of remembrance. For ever. Today of course it is a day of remembrance. Spain for ever. Today of course it is a day of remembrance. Spain had two innocent victims that were assassinated by the brutal Terrorist Attack of hamas. Today we condemned again the Terrorist Attack had to think about the memory of the victims and to express solidarity with all their friends and families. Here in madrid and the families of the two spaniards who were killed by the Terrorist Attack and, at the same time, it is a day to seem how, through all this year, the violence has been spreading everywhere. We have had a humanitarian catastrophe in gaza. We have an increased violence. In the West Bank and now we have the war in a southern state of lebanon with thousands of innocent victims. And it is time for all of us, for the countries, to join forces. As spain is doing with other countries. With the group. With our friends with other countries. With the group. With ourfriends in the world to. We cannot resign yourself and accept that War And Violence is the normal way in which the people in the Middle East relate to each other. That it is only through violence that they can settle their differences. A conference, a Peace Conference in which we can implicate a two State Solution will be the final solution. A Palestinian State in the state of israel will guarantee security, it is the real solution. Military force by itself alone with a political horizon never guarantees total security. This is very noble guarantees total security. This is very noble sentiments, foreign minister, and certainly they have been echoed by many of your other colleagues in europe and certainly by foreign ministers across the region. But prime Minister Netanyahu says he is not listening. He is making the decision that the war in gaza must go on and the war in gaza must go on and the war in gaza must go on and the war in lebanon against hezbollah must be intensified. So what more can you do . What more do you want to do . More do you want to do . First, we have two more do you want to do . First, we have two call more do you want to do . First, we have two call things more do you want to do . First, we have two call things by we have two call things by their name. What happened in october seven is a Terrorist Attack. But we must speak up also for an immediate ceasefire. With the release of all hoStages and for the unimpeded access of humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip and to the population also in lebanon. Secondly, we must not stop talking about the possibility of peace. We must prepare because peace will come back and at some point, to the Middle East. We must prepare this Peace Conference to make sure that this is the last time we see this level of violence and that is why spain is put forward this conference, that this two state backed by 90 countries in the world. The two State Solution has been discussed many times. We dont know what is the solution. It is the time to implement it. And of course it would work also without love our arab friends in the region to make sure that the day it will happen all the Thermal Recognises real and will participate to guarantee the legitimate claims of security of israel and so far all i get from them is that they are ready. They are ready to normalise, to recognise israel, to guarantee a Security Provider that israel gives also way to the implementation of the two State Solution. The french president the two State Solution. The french president emmanuel macron, as you know, called for an Arms Embargo to israel. It was. Accused france are playing into hamass can semi sell france rolling back on that call. It seems that europe is a position. It is israel calling the shots. How much more can you do . We have already done much more can you do . We have already done many much more can you do . We have already done many things. Much more can you do . We have already done many things. We i already done many things. We have stopped giving expert lines and weapons to israel. We dont allow ships to stop in our ports with weapons with a final destination two is real. Both bilaterally and at a European Level we have imposed sanctions on the violent is very the bank. There are things that we can do and the first is the Middle East dont need any more weapons. What they need is more weapons. What they need is more peace. More weapons. What they need is more peace more peace. You, your country, norway. More peace. You, your country, norway. And more peace. You, your country, norway, and ireland more peace. You, your country, norway, and ireland and more peace. You, your country, | norway, and ireland and became the first European States to join many others Around The World who have already recognised a Palestinian State. That angered israel but the palestinians and arab states welcomed the move. Months on, do you believe it was a symbolic gesture or did it have an impact . It symbolic gesture or did it have an impact . An impact . It had a real impact an impact . It had a real impact. First, an impact . It had a real impact. First, because i an impact . It had a real. Impact. First, because we an impact . It had a real impact. First, because we hold to the palestinian people said they dont get desperate and that violence will prevail. Second, if we believe in the two State Solution we have to protect that solution and, as we see today, the only real tool we have to protect that one day there will be two states and is really one and a palestinian one is to recognise and it is not the same to have two states are talking and negotiating to each other, to have a situation of occupied territories from international law, talking to the occupant. Very briefly, do you still Regard Israel as an ally . I5 Regard Israel as an ally . Is real Regard Israel as an ally . I3 real as a friend of spain. And we have excellent relations with israel. Everything we do. Everything we do. It is also because of this security of israel to make sure that the two State Solution includes for everyone in the world also a state of israel. We dont want any harm to his will. On the contrary. We want a peaceful and stable and prosperous Middle East for everyone, including for israel. Thank you very much including for israel. Thank you very much for including for israel. Thank you very much for making including for israel. Thank you very much for making time. Including for israel. Thank you very much for making time to| very much for making time to express very clearly your Point Of View and those of many of your colleagues as the war intensifies across the region. Thank you forjoining us on bbc news. You can hear behind me the music. It will get under way in about 45 minutes. The bereaved families. There is no official representation. They said they hope that the families and people are visual willjoin them to pay tribute to their dead in the missing of the attacks. Plenty more throughout the course of our programme here today. The humanitarian situation has been acute for much of the war over the past 12 months. Ive been speaking on the programme to our guest. Jan egeland, Secretary General of the norwegian Refugee Council gave us his, saying october seven was an indiscriminate day of terror which has been followed by An Indiscriminate War. It brings back the most painful memories of a day of horror in his field where people were, like You Just heard, getting killed in a senseless, horrific way. Sheer terror. Against civilians. That indiscriminate attack has been followed by an indiscriminate Military Campaign and gaza, which is very small area, where 2 Million people are crammed together, with no escape. And, with a bombardment that has killed thousands of children, thousands of children, more Aid Workers than in any other wall, anywhere on the planet, and so on. And an indiscriminate day of terror was followed by An Indiscriminate War and the war seems to be incapable of stopping this bloodbath. Imilli stopping this bloodbath. Will come back stopping this bloodbath. Will come back to stopping this bloodbath. Will come back to those wider thoughts in a Moment Butjust described, because you are a veteran of so many different humanitarian operations. The scale of what you had to deal with here, this time around. Well, the point is that it is very concentrated, this place of horror. First, in the two, three places where hamas and other islamic terrorists went rampaging and is real, and then on little gaza. I mean, gaza is smaller than the municipality of oslo, where i live. In that place, then, we have seen two thirds, more than two thirds of every civilian home either or partially destroyed. It is unimaginable, the destruction that has been there. With western provided bonds. We humanitarian workers have not been able to get in, even the Aid Trucks that are needed for our courageous Aid Workers that stood there and provided relief for the completely innocent women, children, families inside. � ,. , inside. And is not fundamentally. Inside. And is not fundamentally different to other crises that so often you have dealt with . Other crises that so often you have dealt with . Yes. This lack of access have dealt with . Yes. This lack of access for have dealt with . Yes. This lack of access for aid, have dealt with . Yes. This lack of access for aid, for of access for aid, for journalists and the ceiling of the territory, we saw that also in the war in syria that the u had besieged areas for a very long time. Band the western nations were outraged by the cruelty of this procedure meant tactics so much of the same here. Where can women and children escaped from gaza . It really pains me, as one who worked for the israeli and palestinian reconciliation for so many years, to see this polarisation of positions and the lack of empathy on what is happening on the innocent, on either side. Happening on the innocent, on either side. You will know what the israelis either side. You will know what the israelis have either side. You will know what the israelis have said either side. You will know what the israelis have said about the israelis have said about who they had targeted and blaming hamas for using all of those civilians as Human Shields. All of those arguments. But away from that, in terms of the diplomacy, the lack of a ceasefire, is that, do you think a fundamental failure of statecraft, that we have seen . It failure of statecraft, that we have seen . Have seen . It is. And of leadership have seen . It is. And of leadership on have seen . It is. And of leadership on both have seen . It is. And of. Leadership on both sides. Have seen . It is. And of leadership on both sides. And listen, it is a fundamental point, this, that hamas and other armed groups in gaza, hezbollah and other armed groups in lebanon, yes, they do blend into the civilian population. I dont know if theyve used them as Human Shields but they are there in the population but that does, in no way can ijustify smashing a school full of women and children if there were some massive fighters somewhere in the Vicinity Or Right under the school. It is still a War Crime. It is a War Crime to blend into the civilian population of the double as a War Crime to smash the school with everybody there. This is a fundamental point and it has been so misconstrued now for a year. It was indiscriminate warfare with indiscriminate bombs, £2000 bombs, for example, provided by the united states. ,. Example, provided by the united states. ,. ,. , states. Just a final thought because. States. Just a final thought because. Of states. Just a final thought because, of course, states. Just a final thought because, of course, we states. Just a final thought | because, of course, we are seeing now a new phase of the conflict in lebanon. Do you fear a repetition of what we have seen in gaza . 30 seconds, if you could, because we are nearly out of time. I if you could, because we are nearly out of time. Nearly out of time. I fear a repetition nearly out of time. I fear a repetition but nearly out of time. I fear a repetition but it nearly out of time. I fear a repetition but it can nearly out of time. I fear a repetition but it can end i nearly out of time. I fear a repetition but it can end in Lebanon Tomorrow with some leadership. By the israeli side, by the armed Group Side as it could from gaza and what i believe is that it has been an overwhelming pressure from the outside world, these parties seem to be unwilling to end this bloodbath, unfortunately. End this bloodbath, unfortunatel. ~. ,. , unfortunately. Talking to me a little bit earlier. A little earlier i spoke to barak deri, whos a reservist in the idf special forces. He was one of the first soldiers to arrive at kibbutz beeri, a year ago today. I started by asking him to describe where he was and how he heard about events on October 7th last year. Just another typical Saturday Morning and actually there are seven messages for my brothers, we are a family of five and three of my brothers about the Music Festival. So the messages were messages of good buy, say goodbye and come to rest of us. One of them was injured and the other two were hidden in the bushes by the terrorists attacked. So this is how i understood it as something big going on a topic that what did you do next . Usually, when there is something like that, im going to my Reserve Unit and that is exactly what i did that, as i got there, i went to the first team and headed down towards major Brothers Location but as we headed towards this location i got a Phone Call from my commander and ordered to go to the kibbutz and not too may injured Brothers Location. 50 kibbutz and not too may inured Brothers Location. Brothers location. So you were diverted on Brothers Location. So you were diverted on bit Brothers Location. So you were diverted on bit to Brothers Location. So you were diverted on bit to try Brothers Location. So you were diverted on bit to try to Brothers Location. So you were diverted on bit to try to get diverted on bit to try to get to your two brothers. Devoted on route. At that moment you face a choice, didnt you . Didnt you . The toughest decision didnt you . The toughest decision i didnt you . The toughest decision i had didnt you . The toughest decision i had to didnt you . The toughest decision i had to make i didnt you . The toughest decision i had to make inj didnt you . The toughest decision i had to make in my life. And, yeah, as we head down south, we saw the dead bodies on the side of the road and i understood there is something, like a huge, like we have never seen Before. So something, like a huge, like we have never seen Before. Have never seen Before. So you were told. Have never seen Before. So you were told, werent have never seen Before. So you were told, werent you . Have never seen Before. So you were told, werent you . As have never seen Before. So you were told, werent you . As You J were told, werent you . As you are making that choice, that there was probably no hope for your brothers and to press on, to go to the kibbutz. When you were told that, just take me through what you were thinking at that Stage. I through what you were thinking at that Stage. At that Stage. I thought that, i felt sad, at that Stage. I thought that, i felt sad, obviously. At that Stage. I thought that, i felt sad, obviously. And ifelt sad, obviously. And during the entire fight in the kibbutz i had a sense that i lost my brothers and i had to go into an intensive Fire Fight with this understanding in mind. And again, it was not a mind. And again, it was nota day mind. And again, it was not a day with sanity. Hat mind. And again, it was not a day with sanity. Mind. And again, it was not a day with sanity. Not a day with sani.

Tell me, when you day with sanity. Not a day with sanity. Tell me, when you got| sanity. Tell me, when you got to the kibbutz, what did you find when you got there . I think that everything that you reported in the media. Children. Women. Men. Elderly people. In the streets, in their living rooms, in the childs bedrooms, butchered with knives, with bullets, i dont want to be too graphic but it reminds me of stuff that we learned about in High School about the holocaust. Like, the scenes that i have never seen Before. ~. , Before. We have been listening to so many Before. We have been listening to so many people Before. We have been listening to so many people from Before. We have been listening to so many people from a to so many people from a variety of convinces who have spoken about how difficult it is actually to move on from the past, to actually be able to process it. They still havent managed it. Would that be fair to say about yourself as well in terms of processing what you actually saw that day . I in terms of processing what you actually saw that day . Actually saw that day . I think it is going actually saw that day . I think it is going to actually saw that day . I think it is going to take actually saw that day .

I think too many people have severe trauma and notjust the civilians but also the correspondence. It is going to take years for everyone to understand what happened on october seven. There will be a Memorial Day that will last for as definitely as israelis but i hope around the globe because it was a global event. A global Peace Party with many nations involved.

We went in and out to different places and at one point, we had a huge Fire Fight in a very small compound where i got blown up by a grenade and as i landed on the ground i was shot several times in my legs. And i rushed into the hospital, basically. They declared me dad but i was able to miraculously survive the sand over a period of seven days they kept me alive and Here I Am today. That was our guest alive and Here I Am today. That was our Guest Talking alive and Here I Am today. That was our Guest Talking to me a little bit earlier on the programme. Now, when we were listening a short while ago they were talking about Journalist Running for cover and i want to show you some of the pictures are that that have just come into hours. You can hear the sirens in the distance and the Israeli Army saying sufferers to surface missile was fired toward Central Israel. We know that has plummet has also been firing missiles. Hezbollah staying in the past few minutes it launched rockets and areas north in israel. Let me show you like pictures and david because that is the scene there with more israeli strikes on the capital of lebanon and you can see the smoke still rising there above the skyline. More here in a moment. A pleasant Autumn Day in the Sunshine But Shower clouds gathered. That is going to be the story over the next few days. We keep the showery theme and the mild theme towards the end of the week, cooler winds and stronger winds are set to arrive. So weve still got this area of low pressure with us at the moment and that is driving these frontal systems around these frontal systems around the area of low. So for the next few hours we could see so many intense thundery downpours developing throughout south West England and wales into the midlands and north of england. They will continue to push their way steadily northwards during the early hours of thursday morning. Further showers tucking into the South West was at the cloud in the shower around will keep the double digits. Is that they started their start in the scot then. First Thing Tomorrow Morning we will have The Rain To Northern Ireland and northern england, drifting towards the scottish borders. This is the dividing line. We have got this cool, Easterly Flow Developing in scotland. A little bit quieter and drier here but not quite as mild. Further south, here but not quite as mild. Furthersouth, plenty here but not quite as mild. Further south, plenty of frequent showers. Again, the Odd Rumble of thunder but, in the sunnier moments, it will still be pleasantly one for this Stage of the year. Now, i am sure you have heard us talking about Hurricane Kirk and the impact that is going to have across the uk. It has lost its hurricane status. It is moving across the cooler waters. Still set to bow to the south of the uk, Impacting Northern Spain and france but we are still going to feel the effect of this
