Hezbollah is an armed group backed by iran. And this explosion comes at a time of heightened tension between hezbollah and israel. We know the group had been advising its members to use pagers because of concerns israel could tamper with or access mobile phones. Here s more on today s events from paul adams, and a warning that it starts with some upsetting images. This was a devastating attack. . . . . In supermarkets, on the street, in cars, at home and even in barbershops. Thousands of hezbollah members simultaneously injured by exploding pagers. Incidents reported from all over lebanon, from beirut to the bekaa valley, and even in neighbouring syria. Hospitals suddenly inundated. Each explosion may have been small, but men lost fingers and eyes. Some had gaping wounds to their hips where the pagers were worn. Nine people are believed to have died, including one child. Israel is saying nothing about these extraordinary attacks. Frankly, it s hard to think of anyone else remotely capa
I will add thoughts about the united states supreme court in this hour, especially their moral responsibility in the moral diagram of the death of amber nicole thurman, which you were also talking about in this hour. I am eager to hear that and that is important framing for this moment. Have a good show. Thank you. They got what they wanted. The two, 78yearold, former republican presidents who appointed the majority of republican supreme court justices who overturned roe v. Wade got what they wanted. Sometimes when you get what you want, more things than you anticipate come with it. It is possible that the people who worked to elect george w. Bush to the presidency, a job for which his only qualification was that his father once had that job, knew that george w. Bush said he wanted to ban abortion in america by overturning roe v. Wade, but maybe they thought that would just never happen. Maybe president george w. Bush and the people working for him and supporting him thought that when

Board. Hello, im rajini vaidyanathan. Spoke to weeks ago when she spoke to that hearing. Universities in england say Tuition Fees need to be increased in line with inflation to help prevent them from sliding into decline, and are calling for more government support. But students say they are already paying too much. Universities have recruited more international students who Pay Higherfees in recent years, to make up for the fall in income due to frozen fees for Uk Students. There has been a decrease in international students aplying for Uk Student visas for this academic year. Changes to Visa Rules and a Currency Crash in nigeria mean the applications for Uk Study visas between january and august were about 17 fewer than during the same period last year. Our Education Reporter Vanessa Clarke reports. After a quiet summer, University Campuses are once again filling up. In manchester, more than 100,000 students are expected to descend on the city this month, and here at the manchester m

It overall adds up to 22 . The government says Strike Action Byjunior doctors cost the nhs in england around 1. 7 billion. The Health Secretary welcomed the vote in favour of the deal. The Deal Weve reached with Junior Doctors is fair for them, but crucially fair for patients and the taxpayer because now we can draw a line under this bitter dispute, cut Waiting Lists and get our nhs notjust back on its feet, but fit for the future. Nhs managers and patients will be relie
