Hello, im sarah campbell. Israels campaign of Air Strikes on hezbollah targets in lebanon appears to be widening, with attacks in the capital, the east and the south.

Joe, i was wondering if maybe before the match, united might have taken 3 3, but then when you factor in that they were to 2 0 ahead, where does this leave them and leave their manager, erik ten hag? it s a saga that will continue. The speculation around their manager erik ten hag, he will still be under pressure after this result. The bbc was told after that pretty desperate 3 0 defeat, home to spurs on sunday, that he would remain in position for the next two games at least. One of those here at porto and the next on sunday at aston villa. They ve thrown away that lead tonight so it won t be enough for erik ten hag to feel safe. It s his third season it s at old trafford with that international break looming, a lot of attention will now be focused on that match at villa park. Manchester united, not the only big premier league side in action tonight, in both europa league and the europa conference league, starting with the spurs? encouraging night for many reasons, tottenham hotspur.

That the united kingdom is under an obligation. The uns top court ruled here that the islands do indeed belong to mauritius and s
The party itself and marine Le Pen, of course they deny all this. Its going to be a long trial, a couple of months as they go through all the evidence. At the end of it, though, whats crucial and why this trial matters is that it is marine Le Pen s political future which is very much at stake. Why . Because one of the potential penalties she could suffer if shes found guilty is an ineligibility for office. She could be banned from standing for public office for a period of, say, five years. And that would mean she couldnt stand in the next president ial election in 2027. Marine Le Pen is Riding High right now in french politics. Her party did very well in the last elections. It can make or break this Sitting Government of michel barnier. Her next step is this bid for the presidency again in 2027. But if this guilty verdict, if its a guilty verdict and it ends in an ineligibility for office, that obviously means that that plan is up in smoke, and she will need urgently a plan b. We have
