Thank you very much. Let s start with that concept of a multi front war. Israel is, of course, at war in gaza. It s at war in lebanon now, and it is in a de facto war with iran, which is unfolding day by day. In your view, are any of those fronts avoidable, or is all of this unavoidable? well, you can add the houthis in yemen, you can add some militias in iraq and in syria. So, it s actually. . . And we have some problems in the west bank as well. So, it s a really a big mess now. Yeah. But in your view, as a security veteran with long years of service in special forces, and then, of course, as director of the mossad intelligence agency, is netanyahu in a place where he inevitably had to be, or is some of this avoidable? well, you know, it s a bit hard to say.

Weather closes in. Meanwhile, there have been further airstrikes on hezbollah targets in the lebanese capital, beirut. Whilst the iranian backed group fired more than 100 rockets into israel on monday. Most were intercepted. Lets hear some of Mr Netanyahus televised speech. Translation we are not to tiered.

Live from london, this is business today. We start with uber, the us Tech Firm that has become a global transport giant. Around The World some 6 Million people work as drivers and couriers through the uber app, and their services are used by 150 Million people at least once a month. Well, the boss of uber, dara khosrowshahi, has been talking to our business editor simonjack, about their plans to make the firm greener and get more of their drivers using Electric Cars. But hes worried that trade tensions with china are getting in the way. The us and europe are hitting chinese Electric Cars with hefty Import Taxes or tariffs to protect their own auto makers, making them more expensive. I think cheap chinese vehicles are a good thing for the environment. And i would tell you that china is transitioning from notjust being cheap but also being high quality and for us, we want to electrify our fleet and make sure it is affordable for our drivers to switch over to evs. The political considerat
Downpours and thunderstorms pushing northwards and eastwards across england and wales. Weve also had this band of Rain Across Southern and Central Scotland and Northern Ireland.

Tomorrow for many, cloud, pieces of rain, the showers in the South Shouldnt be as numerous or as heavy as they have been today, but that cold air starts to dig in. Nine. In a way and aberdeen, those are the afternoon highs. Looking at the Ms Chart as we head into th
