At what the papers are saying about tomorrows news. Good evening. This is what Hurricane Milton looks like from space. It is gathering strength as it heads towards the West Coast of florida tonight. The worst storm there in a century is how President Biden is describing it. And it comes less than two weeks after another Storm Hurricane Helene brought terrible devastation to the area, leaving more than 200 people dead. The mayor of tampa said Hurricane Helene was a wake up Call Milton is literally catastrophic. Scientists say Climate Change and warmer seas are fuelling these increasingly dangerous storms. Our correspondent Gordon Corera reports from tampa in florida. An exodus from tampa. Long lines of Traffic Snaking out of the city tell you that the warnings are being taken seriously here. Florida is used to hurricanes, but the message has been that this time is different. The city is still recovering from the last hurricane, helene, which hitjust two weeks ago and killed more than 200 in the wider region, with hundreds more still missing. Di water was up to here. And Inside Tampa today, there are desperate last minute preparations. Steve crist� s Dental Surgery was hit badly last time, and he knows milton promises to be much worse. I have lived here my whole life, im 73, and we have never had anything like this, ever. find 73, and we have never had anything like this, ever. Like this, ever. And to have two in two weeks. Like this, ever. And to have two in two weeks. As like this, ever. And to have two in two weeks, as well. Like this, ever. And to have two in two weeks, as well. Yes, like this, ever. And to have two in two weeks, as well. Yes, that two weeks, as well. Yes, that buildin two weeks, as well. Yes, that building has two weeks, as well. Yes, that building has never two weeks, as well. Yes, that building has never flooded, i L Building has neverflooded, i practised dentistry in their over a0 years. The Speed And Intensity with Which Milton formed, with winds of 180mph, is whats caused real alarm. Even if it weakens, that will not stop the massive storm surge, which could be as much as isft high hitting the coast, double what helene inflicted, and with Tampa Right in its expected path. This is literally catastrophic and i can say without any dramatisation whatsoever, if you choose to stay in one of those evacuation areas, you are going to die. Another sign of how seriously this is being taken was that President Biden cancelled foreign travel and issued his own warning. You should evacuate now, now, you should have already have evacuated. It is a matter of life and death, and that is not hyperbole. It is a matter of life and death. At a Sports Stadium in nearby saint petersburg, 10,000 Camp Beds are being prepared for Emergency Workers wholl be trying to get the community back on its feet. The Power And Danger posed by milton is clear from these pictures of a crew aboard a Research Flight that went through the hurricane. They were forced to hold tight as they were buffeted by its winds, and beneath them, florida is now preparing for the hurricanes arrival. For the hurricanes arrival. Hurricane milton will be the second Hurricane Milton will be the second powerful storm to hit powerful storm to hit florida in less than two weeks. Florida in less than two weeks. Its currently travelling its currently travelling across the gulf of mexico, across the gulf of mexico, where warm waters have helped it where warm waters have helped it become a dangerous hurricane thats become a dangerous hurricane thats expected to make landfall expected to make landfall as early as tomorrow. As early as tomorrow. Scientists say Climate Change scientists say Climate Change is to blame with much warmer seas is to blame with much warmer seas supercharging these hurricanes. From Gordon Corera in tampa. Supercharging these hurricanes. These are the normal range these are the normal range of temperatures for the atlanic of temperatures for the atlanic this is where they should be now. This is where they should be now. But look how much warmer but look how much warmer the waters are this year the waters are this year at or near the hottest at or near the hottest temperatures on record. Temperatures on record. The oceans absorb most of the extra the oceans absorb most of the extra heat that Carbon Dioxide Heat that Carbon Dioxide and other Greenhouses Gases and other greenhouses Gases Trap near earths surface. Trap near earths surface. So warmer seas mean so warmer seas mean more water evaporates, more water evaporates, and that allows storms and that allows storms to strengthen and grow. To strengthen and grow. Lets get the latest lets get the latest from Gordon Corera in tampa. This is so soon after the last hurricane, so what is the mood there tonight .

One of the concerns is that it has not been cleaned up, and that when the surge comes with milton, the debris is going to get picked up and cause even more damage as it is placed around the city, so there is a lot of concern about the potential impact, but people have also been heeding the warnings about how serious this could be, they have come from the mayor of Tampa Right up come from the mayor of Tampa Right up to the president , and people havent grasped the Idea that even in a region used to hurricanes, this time could be different people have grasped the Idea. Time could be different people have grasped the Idea. Time could be different people have grasped the Idea. Thanks for oininu have grasped the Idea. Thanks for joining us the head of the security service, mi5, has warned that russia is on a mission to cause mayhem on the streets of britain. In his annual update on the threats faced by the uk, Ken Mccallum said Moscows Intelligence agents were acting with increasing recklessness. 0ur security correspondent, frank gardner, is here. Its not russia hes warning about also iran, and the islamic State Group resurgent. It isa it is a triple whammy, really, and he was very explicit in naming specifically russias military Intelligence Arm of the russian state, the same people who were accused of doing the novel Chop Poisonings in salisbury six years ago, and he mentioned iran, novikchok. This is what he had To Say. The first 20 years of my career here were crammed full of terror threats. We now face those alongside state backed Sabotage And Assassination plots, against the backdrop far too many cases where very young people are being drawn into poisonous online extremism. Daniel de simone reports on some of the complex cases that mi5 have been looking into. The faces of three young people targeted by counterterrorism investigations. Some are vulnerable, making investigations highly complex. Rhiannon rudd was 15 when she became the youngest british girl charged with terror offences. But the case was dropped after an official assessment found she had been exploited online by an american neo nazi. She later took her own life and an inquest will soon examine what mi5 knew about the abuse. Joe metcalfe was convicted of planning an attack on a Yorkshire Mosque aged 15 and of raping a teenage girl. One of many Youth Terror cases now involving Sexual Abuse. Misogyny among young male extremists is an alarming constant. Its actively encouraged in some online networks. And children, often more digitally savvy than adults, have little trouble finding such spaces. But not everything comes from the internet. Teenager Safaa Boular was convicted of planning an islamic state inspired Terror Attack in london. She was part of a cell with her older sister and mother. The uks main anti terror laws were passed in the age of 9 11 and 0sama bin laden, but are now being used in a different era in which children are radicalised in their bedrooms, creating a unique challenge for mi5.

A former british Army Soldier accused of escaping from Wandsworth Prison last year has gone on trial on charges of collecting sensitive Military Information for iran and obtaining details about Serving Members of the Armed Forces from a personnel system. The jury was told that from the start, Daniel Khalife had no real intention to become an army signaller. Instead from the age of 17 he was entertaining thoughts of espionage. Daniel khalife, whos now 23, denies all the charges. 0ur Uk Home affairs correspondent, Daniel Sandford reports. Daniel Khalifes Case first received huge publicity when he was accused of escaping from Wandsworth Prison last september. He is alleged to have hidden under a Food Delivery Lorry as it left the jail. He was arrested three days later riding a bike along this Canal Towpath in west london. There had been, thejury at Woolwich Crown Court heard today, a nationwide search for him. Hed been a soldier based in stafford, serving in the 16th signal regiment, which provides vital digital and Satellite Communications to the british army. This afternoon, he was in the dock, accused of collecting sensitive Military Information for iran, of gathering details about other soldiers from an army personnel system, of leaving a fake bomb on his desk at his barracks, and of escaping from prison. The prosecution told the jury that at the age of 17, Daniel Khalife had an iranian Telephone Number in his contacts. He later told police hed been in touch with a man connected to irans islamic revolutionary guards corps, who then passed him on to an english speaking handler. But he said this was all part of a double bluff, and that he planned to sell himself to the uks security agencies, and all this while he was a young soldier in the british army. Mark Heywood Kc said Daniel Khalifes job was to operate sensitive signalling equipment. When the security of those systems and communications is at risk, he said, so is the operational Capability And Effectiveness of the army itself. The jury heard that khalife even travelled to istanbul in turkey for a meeting and, the prosecution say, collected 2,000, hidden in a dog poo bag, from a london park. Daniel khalife denies charges under the Official Secrets Act and the terrorism act, of staging a bomb hoax, and of escaping from prison. Daniel sandford, Bbc News, at Woolwich Crown Court. German prosecutors have said the investigation into madeleine Mccanns Disappearance will continue despite the main suspect in the case being acquitted of unrelated Sex Offences in portugal between 2000 and 2017. Convicted Sex OffenderChristian Brueckner was cleared of three charges of aggravated rape and two of Sexual Abuse of children. The 47 year old has not been charged in the madeleine Mccann Case. Jessica parker reports. In a trial that stretched on for eight months, christian bruckner faced five Sex Offence charges, including three of rape. Though tried in his native germany, the offences were alleged to have happened in portugal over a 17 year period. Today he was cleared on all counts. Translation the verdict corresponds to what i, if you remember, 36 main trial days ago, also announced here in front of the press. It was foreseeable, at least from the Point Of View of the defence, that there can only be one result that corresponds to the factual and legal situation, and that is the acquittal. It was in Portugals Algarve where 47 year old bruckner, a convicted Sex Offender, lived for many years. The same region from where british Toddler Madeleine Mccann went missing in 2007 from herfamily� s holiday apartment. Bruckner has for years been identified as the main suspect in her disappearance by german prosecutors. A legal team who also brought the case that bruckner was today acquitted on. The ruling has no direct impact to the Maddie Case because the findings of this court are not binding, so christian bruckner will stay in prison till september 25, and we will see if we have the possibility for a new Arrest Warrant in the next summer. Prosecutors in braunschweig have classed the Mccann Case as a murder inquiry, as a murder inquiry, but bruckner, whos denied but bruckner, whos denied involvement, has never been charged involvement, has never been charged over her disappearance. Over her disappearance. Currently injailfor a prior rape conviction, Todays Verdict means hes now due for release next year. Hes now due for release next year. Jessica parker, Bbc News.

In the Middle East, israel in the Middle East, israel said its troops have expanded ground said its troops have expanded Ground Operations into South West lebanon, operations into South West lebanon, with 15,000 troops now deployed. With 15,000 troops now deployed. Clive myrie is injerusalem. Clive myrie is injerusalem. Large Explosions Today yes, Israels Military has been yes, Israels Military has been stepping up operations on several stepping up operations on several fronts across the region. Fronts across the region. Its expanded its operations its expanded its operations in lebanon, with attacks extending in lebanon, with attacks extending into the South West of the country. Into the South West of the country. There ve also been more there ve also been more large Explosions Today in the capital beirut. Israels Defence Minister says one strike has killed the man many believed might have succeeded Hassan Nasrallah as the leader of hezbollah, the group targeting northern israel with Rocket Attacks over the past year. Beirut have seen and heard here in beirut in the last hour, more powerful strikes. The lebanese national Media Agency says that four separate residentiaL Buildings were brought down this evening. Some of these strikes come with warnings for people to evacuate the area, but some of them dont, and becoming constant now. Around midnight local time, we tend to see and hear those explosions and see, as these Living Macro Pictures show you, pictures of smoke on the sculling. When you look at the numbers, consider Southern Lebanon and the Beqaa Valley as well. The lebanese government has 137 separate israeli strikes were recorded today across the country and gives you an of the growing scale and the increasing momentum of Israels Military operation here. As you were saying, more troops are now moving into the South West of the country, the area close to the southern city of tyre. There was even an Evacuation Order Yesterday telling people not to go on the sea or on the beaches. And the area that is well planned to concentrate on, the area up to the litani river, covered by un resolution 1701, they have now issued Evacuation Order taking that even further, really taking that even further, really taking on a huge swathe of Southern Lebanon. This was an operation which israel had said would be localised and targeted and limited, that it really starts to raise questions about how far israel might go, particularly when you head today israels prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressing the lebanese people, calling on them to turn hezbollah out, otherwise, he said, lebanon risked becoming like gazza, falling into the abyss of a long walk. Of course, the problem with thatis walk. Of course, the problem with that is that the majority of people here didnt choose hezbollah, they didnt choose to have an iranian proxy taking over this country and dragging them into a war that they didnt want. So when it comes to the lebanese people, they have very little choice about what is happening now, but they are feeling the brunt of it. The brunt of it. Anna foster, reporting the brunt of it. Anna foster, reporting live the brunt of it. Anna foster, reporting live from the brunt of it. Anna foster, reporting live from beirut. L its not just extensions its notjust extensions of Israels War in lebanon that we have seen today. Syria, for to the north, has also been hit tonight. Weve had Reports Tonight of airstrikes in the syrian Capital Damascus with 11 people killed, according to the government there. Syrian State Media say seven civilians have been killed, including women and children, in an israeli strike on a residentiaL Building in a western suburb of the city. The escalating conflict comes as the world awaits Israels Response to Irans Missile Attack last week, with many wondering just how much worse the situation could get. Jeremy bowen has been talking to young palestinians and israelis about how they view the war. Its been another brutal, sad day. In gaza, more funerals of palestinians killed by israel. The worried world agonises about ways to stop the killing. With raids on beirut and all out war between Iran And Israel looming, for now, diplomacy has been defeated. The war is changing lives as well as ending them. Injerusalem, we met Israeli Army reservists whove spent months on active service in gaza and on the lebanese border. The world thinks we have two options, to go to the war or sign a ceasefire or a peace agreement. Im sorry To Say that we have two options a very bad war right now, or much worse in the future. You will have heard, of course, a lot of criticism of israel for killing civilians. Do you think thats fair . I dont, because israel has no intention of killing any civilian. Its a civilised society fighting true and hideous barbarism, and israel is held by different standards than everyone in the world and i know the reason why the reason is pure anti semitism. What can we do, what can be done . Were trying. Were trying to have a normal life here. We have the right to exist. Were not gonna go anywhere. They have the right to exist, theyre not going to go anywhere. Its up to the representatives to do something about that. We dont want to fight. From jerusalem, we crossed Jerusalems Complex of walls and fences and went to the West Bank to the palestinian city of nablus to meet community organisers. They say the west tells lies, has double standards, one law for israel and ukraine, another for the palestinians. Now, almost more than a year on the 7th of october, where we are the main victims, and where the international community, instead of having a rendezvous with courage, they prefer to stay in the Comfort Zone where our people are dying every day. You live in a troubled land. How do you see the future . Um, very blurred. You cannot see it. Its very gloomy. Tell me why. Because you dont really know what will happen in the next hour. Not only the next week, but the next hour. You dont know what will happen. We spoke to some young israelis, similar ages, twenties, to you guys and they said, look, we cannot trust the palestinians after the 7th of october. Look what they did. I would say the same because after what they did with the 7th of october, the killings of the palestinians in gaza and also the West Bank, killing palestinians, Kids Being shot in the head, elderly people, women walking to the checkpoints and then being killed, all i can say that i think the same. I cannot trust an israeli, especially idf. So when you hear the israelis saying they follow international law, they respect the laws of war, you dont believe it . Actually, i dont. Its a Horror Movie that hasnt stopped. We see the israeli occupation, they attacked palestinians in gaza, how they bombed the hospital, the families, the kids, they dont have any red lines. We are losing a full palestinian generation. When a whole generation loses hope, the international community should take care about this. Back in the 1990s, here on the edge ofjerusalem, this was supposed to become the palestinian parliament. It was abandoned unfinished when the process collapsed. Broken dreams, Forgotten Dreams Of A Better Future that right now is bleak. Jeremy bowen, Bbc News, jerusalem. A flavour there of the seemingly implacable positions held on both sides. Well, throughout the day here on Bbc News, weve been taking your questions on where the conflicts in the Middle East may be heading, and how peace might be achieved. Heres a flavour of some of your queries. We are doing this across the day on Bbc News. The bbc is asking, how does it end . Is there any prospect of peace . Lets go with james in stockport. James, hi to you. We will put your question to paul adams. Would a change of regime in iran solve would a change of regime in iran solve the would a change of regime in iran solve the middle East Crisis . While a chance solve the middle East Crisis . While a change of solve the middle East Crisis . While a change of regime solve the middle East Crisis . While a change of regime might solve the middle East Crisis . Iggi ie a change of regime might remove one element, one of the many complicated elements of this mix in the Middle East, you cannot help but ultimately come back to the israel palestine conflict. It began in gaza, and in some ways it ends in gaza. And the depressing thing right now is that a year on, there is absolutely no sign of anyone trying to address that. Anne marie in burnley, what is your question . Who is supplying all the armaments to either side of this conflict . Israel can buy its own weapons, but it mainly gets its weapons in most of its most advanced weapons through the united states. Its more murky when it comes to this Arc Of Militias Armed by iran. Its most important partner there is lebanons hezbollah. It also includes militias in iraq, in syria, as well as the houthis in yemen. Now, after a year of turmoil in the Middle East, Mishal Who Isjoined by a panel of guests to ask, what is the path to peace . A panel of guests to ask, what is the path to peace . Ehud olmert, i was that with the path to peace . Ehud olmert, i was that with you, the path to peace . Ehud olmert, i was that with you, a the path to peace . Ehud olmert, i was that with you, a former the path to peace . Ehud olmert, i was that with you, a former Israeli J was that with you, a former israeli prime minister. Prime minister. This is precisely the time where prime minister. This is precisely the time where we prime minister. This is precisely the time where we have prime minister. This is precisely the time where we have to prime minister. This is precisely the time where we have to raise prime minister. This is precisely the time where we have to raise the awareness the time where we have to raise the awareness of the international community everywhere we can that there community everywhere we can that there is community everywhere we can that there is a community everywhere we can that there is a path to peace. What community everywhere we can that there is a path to peace. There is a path to peace. What do ou think there is a path to peace. What do you think of there is a path to peace. What do you think of what there is a path to peace. What do you think of what you there is a path to peace. What do you think of what you heard . You think of what you heard . I personally believe that peace is doable, unconditioned that it is acceptable to the international community. What is acceptable by the israelis is not acceptable by the palestinians and vice versa. Western countries have palestinians and vice versa. Western countries have all palestinians and vice versa. Western countries have all said, palestinians and vice versa. Western countries have all said, Yes Palestinians and vice versa. Western countries have all said, yes of countries have all said, yes of course we are behind the two state solution. They said it so often that it became an empty slogan. Why was it became an empty slogan. Why was it empty . Because they were, a lot of the time, enabling measures that israel was taking, particularly the massive Expansion Ofjewish settlements in the occupied territories and places that palestinians want for a state, which meant that while on one side, they were saying yes, they wanted it to happen, they were not saying anything when they saw israel doing many things that were actually designed to stop it happening. Thank ou all for designed to stop it happening. Thank you all for being designed to stop it happening. Thank you all for being part designed to stop it happening. Thank you all for being part of designed to stop it happening. Thank you all for being part of this designed to stop it happening. T� iaia; you all for being part of this today debate. So many questions surrounding this long running conflict, seemingly without a solution in time soon. Thats it from the team here and jerusalem. Now its back to sophie in london. , jerusalem. Now its back to sophie in london. ,. , there are just three mps left in the race to be the next leader of the Conservative Party after Tom Tugendhat was knocked out. The latest round of voting by Tory Mps saw the Shadow Home SecretaryJames Cleverly top the poll on 39 votes. Robertjenrick was second on 31 and Kemi Badenoch third. Conservative mps will vote again tomorrow and the remaining two contenders will be put to a vote of party members. The result will be announced on the 2nd november. 0ur Deputy political editor, vicki young, is here. James cleverly has shot up from third place to the top was it a surprise . Yeah, there is No Doubt that he is the big winner of today. He has gained 80 new backers since the last round, so the momentum really is with him. It seems that the conservative Party Conference has been pivotal in all of this, particularly his performance. He made a speech that went down really well with the party faithful, even though he was urging them to be more normal. He has been emphasising his experience, his communication skills, and he says he is running a positive campaign. It does look almost certain that he will be in the final two tomorrow. So that leaves two others, robertjenrick, who after a promising start, his campaign seems to be stuttering. He has been appealing to the right of the party with a hard line on immigration, talking a lot about how to win back those people who switched to reform uk at the general election. He is now in a real tussle with Kemi Badenoch to get into those final two, with Kemi Badenoch to get into those finaltwo, both with Kemi Badenoch to get into those final two, both vying to be the candidate of the right. She is the one with Star Quality who would shake up the party and she is the favourite of the party members. So between now and three oclock tomorrow, those 20 mps who were supporting Tom Tugendhat, their votes are up for grabs. Their phones are not going votes are up for grabs. Their phones are not going to votes are up for grabs. Their phones are not going to stop votes are up for grabs. Their phones are not going to stop ringing. Are not going to stop ringing.
