More than A Million people have been ordered to evacuate floridas West Coast ahead of the arrival of Hurricane Milton. Its currently a category five storm, packing ferocious winds of up to 270 kilometres an hour. Forecasters say the storm is expected to make landfall in the next day, and that it has the potential to be one of the most destructive ever recorded in the region. The storm follows less than two weeks after another devastating hurricane, helene. Meteorologists say the damage done by the recent hurricane could leave the area more vulnerable to this far larger storm, as Sand Dunes have been blown away, and debris could act as projectiles. Steve knibbs has the latest a siren on the streets of Redington Shores in florida. Debris still piled up the Storm Helen two weeks ago now people told they have to leave again. Mandatory Evacuation Orders in place for 6 Million people as Hurricane Milton coaches many going to safety is authorities warm Storm Surges could be up to 15 feet.

As floridians wait, mexico has already had a taste of milton � s strength as it bought flooding along the coast and downed Power Lines and trees. But the us is bracing itself for much worse with official saying Storm Milton has the potential to be one of the most destructive hurricanes on record, when it makes landfall, today. Steve knibbs, bbc news. Our correspondent, gordon corera, is in tampa and hes been talking to some of the residents preparing for the storms arrival. When temper there is a sense of time running out ahead of miltons imminent arrival. Streets in the city had been a very quiet hardly anybody is around. A few people who we have seen have been preparing their homes or their officers for the storm. Boarding things that may be moving things around, one of the things that is quite shocking you can see around me, the devastation still here from Hurricane Helen which hit two weeks ago and there is an enormous amount of debris around especially where i am in tampa. The concern is the massive surge which would come with milton will lift the debris and move it around and cause more damage. The fear is the surge with milton could be 12 feet or perhaps even more high compared to half that or less with helen. It could be very significant indeed, there is a lot of work going on to think about how the community will respond afterwards but first of all they have to get through that storm, which is nowjust really hours away from arriving here. Gordon carreras there. Lets speak to matthew cappucci, meteorologist for the myradar app. Hes in florida right now and is heading into storm to intercept it tomorrow. Matthew is that not a very dangerous thing to do . We should clarify that. It is one ofthe should clarify that. It is one of the things should clarify that. It is one of the things we should clarify that. It is one of the things we say should clarify that. It is one of the things we say dont l should clarify that. It is one i of the things we say dont try this at home, this one is little bit different from any other storms, the reason being we have records dating back to 1850 and there has never been in all our 174 years of observation never been another hurricane at or above category two that has Hit Temper from the west. This is a very unusual track and for that reason it has attracted a really big Storm Surge some will be devastated whether it is tampa, Tampa Bay down to venice or sarasota. I think it will be sarasota one of those locations will be that depends on where the track goes, this will be a very bad storm for a lot of people. Will be a very bad storm for a lot of Maple Lot of people. From what you are seeing lot of people. From what you are seeing how lot of people. From what you are seeing how People Lot of people.

When i drove here from Orlando Hit into the landfall right now, the highway is virtually empty, people got out of dodge already, Gas Stations this is the first Gas Station into hours of driving i have been at that has had gasoline and by many metrics this is the biggest evacuation in the United States especially followed since burma hit back in 2017. People are taking it seriously, as you mentioned two weeks ago we got Hurricane Helen which brought half the Storm Surge and still left devastation, effect we are predicting to see twice as much surge as showing folks the Power Milton will wield here. The next 24 hours are critical as to how powerful it is, people are still hoping it will reduce the intensity of its level of category. It reduce the intensity of its level of category.

Even on paper it looks like a Category Threshold is coming down the impact i going up coming down the impact i going up and one other thing i want to add, milton will experience something called pharaoh clinic transition, it will start feeling the Jet Stream and thinking it is a non tropical storm.

Thank you for talking to us on bbc news. We will be across the story through the next 24 hours earlier � s Hurricane Milton makes its way towards areas we just talked about. Details on the website as well. Lets bring you up to date with the latest as regards the middle east. The israeli Prime Minister has warned the lebanese people they face destruction on the same scale as gaza unless they reject hezbollah. In a Video Address in english, Benjamin Netanyahu said if the iranian backed group continued to fight, lebanon would topple into the abyss of a long war. He asserted that israel had killed another possible replacement for the assassinated head of hezbollah, Hassan Nasrallah but the idf later said it could not confirm hashem safieddines death. Lebanese media said the latest israeli strikes had caused devastation in the South And East of the capital, beirut. With me is Said Shehata from bbc arabic. First of all that speech from Benjamin Netanyahu has there been reaction to that yet . It is considered with some commentators with the address to the iranian people a few days ago. Commentators and some lebanese think it is to divide the community and turn people against hezbollah like what he did before telling the iranians he said dont let small phonetic group to crush your dreams. The same as free Labour Non from hezbollah. But hezbollah is in the blood of some lebanese sectors since 2000, its very hard for these people to turn away, hezbollah with all of the blows it went through through the last few weeks still causing damage in haifa with rockets, showing a solid stand against israel. And the Deputy Leader of Hezbollah Yesterday said and he confirmed hezbollah are strong and still can fire, hezbollah can again through all of this what israelis doing. He showed a sign of diplomacy his supporting if it of the lebanese parliament speakers of reaching a deal through diplomacy to a ceasefire. Without mentioning the end of the gaza war. There might be some good signs from the speech, but what is seen by lebanese and other People Mr Netanyahu lebanese and other People Mr Neta nyahu wants to lebanese and other People Mr Netanyahu wants to divide people. It is built into the blood of some lebanese however. Lets talk about suet we have reported on many people in lebanon on going into syria and moving across the border to escape was happening in lebanon, he wanted to highlight other things going on in syria . Three missiles were launched at a building in damascus the capital, nearby the iranians embassy. According to the syrian Ministry Of Defence killing women and children. Israel said the israeli army said one of the senior members of hezbollah was targeted in this place and killed but no confirmation from hezbollah, as part of what is going on, before when the Iranians Consulate was struck by israeli Air Strike and some people thought it was a senior member of the iranians guard, iran responded with a barrage of drones and missiles in april, some were intercepted, the ongoing attack some targets in syria as part of the front of fire between Mr Netanyahu and israel and gaza.

Nasir ahmad tawhedi, who lived in oklahoma, was detained on monday after he attempted to buy guns and ammunition from people Working Undercoverfor the fbi. Americans will go to the polls in just a matter of weeks, on november 5th. Our correspondent, Carl Nasman has the latest from washington. The fbi has arrested a 27 year old suspect originally from Afghanistan Over what is to believe a foiled Terror Plot that would have targeted the United States on Election Day. The suspect, Nasir Ahmad Tawhedi accused of planning the attack either in sympathy with or conjunction with the Islamic State group. There are some bits of evidence laid out by prosecutors and documents unsealed on tuesday, they point to a couple of different things saying the suspect was in these kinds of chat Rooms Telegram Group sympathetic to the group Islamic State also there were elements of text and pictures of documents downloaded to his phone and he made some donations to the Islamic State group. In the end he was detained after he tried to buy some high powered rifles and ammunition from two undercover fbi agents, in terms of some of the detail we get about the sexual plot, apparently the suspect allegedly told prosecutors he and a younger accomplice hoping to die as martyrs for a large attack on a big gathering of people. You could imagine on Election Day in the us many people heading out to Balloting And Polling stations across the country, that might have been the type of place they were hoping to target. In terms of the bigger picture, National Security officials have been warning for many months the Threat Picture has been changing across the United States, that there is a high Threat Level and they say in part that is due to the conflict that has been ongoing in the middle east. There are no direct links here but they are saying we have been so potential threats and other threats were reported targeting american citizens. We have less than a month to go until the election, you can imagine how an effect like this might affect the actual election itself notjust in terms of casualties and numbers that could be killed in this type of attack, but a threat like this could to the election itself, in terms of the temperature the way the Election And Campaign have been carried out. Officials and police will be on the way out for similar arrests as we get closer to Election Day in the us.

A lot at stake for tiktok all that and the other business stories, next. Hello. Tuesday brought no shortage of heavy downpours to many parts of the uk, but over the next couple of days, things are going to be turning just a little bit drier at the same time, though, as Northerly Wind5 develop, it will also turn colder. Low pressure is still in charge of the scene right now, this low still bringing some outbreaks of rain for parts of the uk. This deep low, ex hurricane kirk, thankfully staying well away to the south of us, bringing some very wet and very windy weather to northern parts of spain. Back home, some outbreaks of rain, mostly quite patchy, quite showery in nature, but the Odd Heavy Burst across northern england, up into eastern scotland, rather cloudy and damp for parts of wales, the north midlands. Northern ireland seeing a lot of clouds, some spots of rain and drizzle, as well. Further south, South Wales, southern england, a mix of sunny spells and showers, 16 or 17 celsius, but Northern Scotland turning brighter but colder later in the day. As these brisk northerly winds kick in, we could even see some wintry showers over high ground in Northern Scotland, because temperatures really will be dropping away through Wednesday Night into the first part of thursday, with a frost across parts of scotland. A little bit milder, further south, first thing on thursday, but through the day, this Cold Air will be moving its way southwards, so a very different feel to the weather, but actually, things dont look too bad. Certainly, a drier day in prospect, some good spells of sunshine, just a few showers around western and eastern coasts, where it will be quite windy for a time. Still the potential for some Wintriness Mixing in with the showers over the very highest ground in Northern Scotland. But these are the Afternoon Highs 8 to 13 celsius at best. Could well see a frost in parts of england and wales to start friday morning. Here, though, we should see some good spells of sunshine. Northern ireland not looking too bad, but we will see cloud and patchy rain getting into the northwest of scotland. Still feeling a little bit on the chilly side 8, 9 celsius in the far north of scotland, 12, 13 for South Wales and the south of england. Now, into the weekend, High Pressure never too far away from southern parts, so here, staying largely dry. Fairly weak frontal systems up to the north, bringing some rain at times, and, ifanything, those temperatures just creeping upwards a little bit. By sunday, highs of 11 to 15 celsius. Another legal shock for tiktok. More than a dozen us states sue the social Media Giant for harming young peoples Meantal Health with software they say is intentionally addictive.
