Thousands have been left homeless, and more bad weather is forecast. Slovakia and hungary are bracing against floodwaters moving down the River Danube and its tributaries. These are the pictures from nysa overnight where people have been helping protect the flood defences. 0ur correspondent, sarah rainsford, is there. I am in nysa now, just a few miles from where we were for that report and here in nysa it was a pretty dramatic night overnight. The mayor, as you heard in that report, had given an Emergency Evacuation Order and then there were volunteers who are here all Night Stuffing Sandbags like this, forming a Human Chain to bring the bags down here to the embankment where a section of the River Bank had subsided. And there was a danger, according to the mayor, of that River Bank collapsing completely and the water rushing through into the town of nysa where we are now. You can see the wall of sandbags and the river behind. They have plugged the gap and in fact the River Level or W
As a default setting. Social media companies have been under growing pressure to protect children from harmful online content. Heres our Technology Editor zoe kleinman. Instagram already claims to have more than 50 tools aimed at keeping teens safe on its platform. But so far, the problem of children being exposed to harmful content has not been resolved. Well, i dont know if its social media, but i think as parents we should have the right to see it. An Ofcom Study earlier this year found that every single child it spoke to had seen violent material online. Instagram was one of the platforms they mentioned the most. The new measures aim put more control into the hands of parents. Accou nts accounts belonging to anyone under the age of 18 are made private by default. Now, if someone under 16 wants to make an account public, they have to add a parent to approve it, and that perak will be able to see who they message which topics they follow.

A Hezbollah Official called it the biggest Security Breach suffered by the group. Paul adams has the latest a warning his report contains distressing images from the start. This was a devastating attack. In supermarkets. On the street, in cars, at home and even in barbershops scores, perhaps hundreds, 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. Each explosion was small, but some left terrible injuries, more than 2700 wounded, according to lebanons health ministry, and eight dead. Israel is saying nothing. But yesterday, the Defence Minister told american envoys that only Military Action would resolve the situation in the north. A message repeated by the prime minister. The Status Quo will not continue, Mr Netanyahu said. This requires a change in the Balance Of Power on our northern border. The situation there remains extremely volatile. Exchanges of fire ever
Place across lebanon. Heres a crowd gathered in beirut, in the aftermath of explosions. Weve also verified these videos of ambulances apparently taking the wounded to hospital in tibnin, in the south of the country. How many were injured . Reports say more than 2,500 people were hurt, with some killed. So what happened 7 it appears that what were blowing up were these pagers used to receive messages. The militant Group Hezbollah had switched away from using phones to using pages over Fears Israel could track those phones. But that decision appears to have been exploited to target them. We cant verify this Close Up of what appears to be a blown up pager, but the markings appear to match a particular brand. Its not clear how they were detonated simply hacking into them remotely or making them overheat would not be able to make them explode. And so, one possibility is that all the pagers were physically intercepted at some point and had small amounts of explosives planted inside, ready to
