Hello, i m lucy hockings, welcome to Bbc News now. Memorial events are taking place in israel and Around The World to mark one year since the attacks of October The 7th, the deadliest day in the nations history. Nearly 1200 people were killed and hundreds more taken hostage when hamas gunmen stormed across the border. In a moment, well go to Southern Israel and our chief international correspondent lyse doucet, who is at kibbutz be eri, where one in ten of the residents were killed by hamas. And to Anna Foster In Beirut, which has seen fresh israeli strikes overnight and into this morning. But first lets turn to todays events. At exactly 6. 29 this morning flags were lowered to Half Mast outside the knesset. That was the time when rockets from gaza started raining down on Southern Israel, followed by the deadly rampage by thousands of hamas led militants on israeli communities, Army Bases and the nova music festival. At the festival site, president Isaac Herzog this morning joined a me
Israels name bringing back 60,006 placed rail to the northern border, how do you do that . Northern border, how do you do that . Displaced residents. Theyve been trying to set up Buffer Zones to minimise direct Market Fire on northern israel. But i dont think telling people theyve taken away the immediate threat of anti tank missiles being fired at the border. Theres still a very well armed militant group with thousands of rockets. I dont think that will convince people to come back to the northern border. An aerial campaign, if it goes out for days or weeks, and can damage the capability of hezbollah to fire rockets and missiles, but they will stop to have 150,000 of those. It will take a very big, very long israeli campaign to damage the artisanal s to the point where it was no longer able to regularly fire projectiles. What is israel going to do that will give residents of the north the confidence that they would need to go back . It wasnt clear from Daniel Hagaris statements or th
As you will know we have had huge Pay Cuts since 2008 but this marks a change in that trajectory. And if these communications break down, then we will be thinking about going back into dispute and striking again if we need to, but that is always a last Case Resort and something we dont want to have to do. The offer included a backdated Pay Rise for last year of 4 , on top of an existing Increase Worth an average of 9 , and for this year, an additional 6 increase, topped up with an extra 1,000, which comes to around 9 . 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
Thousands of athletes from Around The World set to compete across 22 sports, with the first events starting tomorrow morning. We start in the middle east, where at least nine people have been killed in the biggest israeli operation in the occupied West Bank for 20 years. Last month, the international Court Ofjustice ruled that israels continued occupation of the area, captured in 1967, breached international law. Violence has been increasing in the occupied West Bank since hamas s deadly attack in israel on seven october, with the un saying more than 650 palestinians have been killed by israeli soldiers or settlers there. Attacks have also been launched from the occupied West Bank against israelis. Since 1993, control of the West Bank has been divided across three zones where there is either full control by the Palestinian Authority, partial control shared with israel or where israel is in full control. Unlike gaza, hamas has no control there. Overnight, israeli forces simultaneously w
