Reeves, who while saying there were difficult decision to come she was trying to say we have a plan for a better Future And Thatis plan for a better future and that is exactly the tone of Keir Starmer� ll speech today, as we expect it to be. So we will talk about light at the end of the tunnel. He will talk about a shared struggle. What they are trying to do in light of the criticism about being overly gloomy is explain to the country they are not just about doom, they have a plan and a vision, for things to get better and the centre of that is they say about economic stability, if they can stabilise the economy and get it growing, they are making the argument that Everybody Willent up argument that Everybody Willent up feeling better off and it will filter down to public services and the pound in your pocket. That is the narrative of the speeches today, but the other Point Worth mentioning there isnt a huge amount of policy, so they are trying to sell a story and the Style And Tone of Keir Starmer� ll speech will be you know, almost i think, more focussed on than the actual substance, expect there to be policy in there but maybe not bags of it. There is a consciousness about the tone and narptive. The real thing that matters, when you speak to senior people in government as i have been doing in the last few days they know it too and they acknowledge it too, what is going to matter, is whether they can deliver on that what they can deliver on that what they are saying here as conference, they like to point to what they have achieved already or what they see as having achieved but the test for any government is about delivering, does it make a difference to peoples lives alex, we will be back to you throughout the day. Thank you. As you can see on your is screen, you can keep across events at the Labour Party Conference using the qr code, for the moment we will move to another story, for the moment we will move to anotherstory, because for the moment we will move to another story, because weather as it sometimes is is a big story here in the uk.

You can see three there, pumping this water out, now, national highways have giving us given us more detail. They say Water Levels reached up they say Water Levels reached up to eight feet that were recorded, that is over two and a half metres and you may have seen yesterday, some Drone Pictures and within those, were a car with its boot open, in this floodwater. Well, the officials are saying that three vehicles are actually in this floodwater and will need to be recovered. Now, the issue they have, is not only the fact they have, is not only the fact they have, is not only the fact they have got to get rid of this water but once the water has gone, they also then have to check whether the Road Surface has been damaged, because of the amount of Water Thatis because of the amount of water that is here, so, there is no timescale yet on this road re opening. Butjust looking at the amount of water that is here, it could be days, people have still been stopping on the bridge to take photos because people just cant believe that there is this much water.

Hezbollah, which is designated a Terrorist Organisation by the uk government, has hit back. In northern Israel David had seconds to get into a Safe Room before a rocket came through his roof. He says israel did not want this war. We dont have a war not want this war. We dont have a war with not want this war. We dont have a war with them, not want this war.

Under this attack, a family lives and serves as a Human Shield for hezbollah. Meanwhile World Leaders shield for hezbollah. Meanwhile World Leaders are shield for hezbollah. Meanwhile World Leaders are viewing i shield for hezbollah. Meanwhile World Leaders are viewing these | World Leaders are viewing these events with unease, us president Joe Biden met with the president of the United Arab Emirates yesterday. They are discussing ways to bring down tensions in the region. As the Un General Assembly there has been calls from france and David Lammy to bring about a ceasefire. Israeland David Lammy to bring about a ceasefire. Israel and hezbollah are old enemies, this looks like a new chapter of the war. It is the people of lebanon and northern israel who are caught in the middle. Almost 500 people confirmed dead by the lebanese authority, hundreds more wounded, and we see now images of the main road connecting south lebanon To Beirut, still congested with thousands of people trying to flee the areas in the south of the country, yesterday we met families, many of them were carrying only some bags with some belongings, they described to us the intensity of the israeli Air Strikes and the lebanese Government Minister described what happened add an israeli atrocity, the lebanese authorities are saying most of the sites hit by the israeli attacks were resident shallot sites, although the Israeli Military is saying that it targeted hezbollah positions, it accused hezbollah of hiding weapons, and rockets, and house, using the civilian population in those areas, as Human Shields, but we see now that you know those attacks continue, the Israeli Military is saying more attacks were carried out this morning and again, hezbollah has remained defiant, more attacks from hezbollah, the group is saying that these attacks are going to continue, untilthere that these attacks are going to continue, until there is a ceasefire in gaza, and the ends cases from the israeli authorities are that this is just the beginning of a wider offence against hezbollah and the speculation is we could see a Ground Invasion of south lebanon to create a Buffer Zone to push hezbollah fighters away from the borders so to many of the residents who are fleeing south lebanon there is the real possibility that many of them may never be able to go back home. If Marwan Abdallah is the head of Foreign Affairs at the lebanese kataeb party, a centre right christian party. He told me what he believed would happen next. It isa it is a crazy situation, an ongoing nightmare since October 7th last year, almost a year from then, and what happened was, that after the massacre of the hamas in the kibbutz of the south, hezbollah announced immediately on the day after, that they will launch their attacks on the northern part of israel, and as a kind of identification for emotional support for hamas, so, it was really not provoked by israeli and they tried to have a kind of low Level War between us, so that israel had to evacuate more than 60,000 people, to the, to the south, and these people, i mean the kids dont study or study in a very partial way, the parents dont work, it is a nightmare for them, and for the whole of israel. Now, iam not defending the current government of israel, i believe that netanyahu should have resigned immediately after the massacre a year ago, but nevertheless the situation is that israel did not have an intention to attack lebanon, which doesnt have actually any institutions, i mean everything is broken, the government, the parliament, there is nothing but hezbollah actually, but when hezbollah decided to increase the level of violence, there was no other option for israel, but to act and when israel acts, it is not and when israel acts, it is not a joke. And when israel acts, it is not ajoke. I mean israel and when israel acts, it is not a joke. I mean israel knows how to act, and then hezbollah understands that it is a strong Country And Retaliation would be very helpful. The Country And Retaliation would be very helpful. Be very helpful. The un secretarygeneral i be very helpful. The un i secretarygeneral Antonio Secretary general Antonio Guterres he has been quoted as sayings he doesnt want lebanon to become another gaza. Do you think that is a possibility . I hope, i hope not, i hope it will not happen and i also know the solution, the solution is very simple in lebanon. We agreed in 2006 to the Un Resolution 1701, which among many other things ordered that hezbollah would evacuate forces in the south, to the certain river then, and that, there will be a negotiations on several issues between the government of lebanon, and the government of lebanon, and the government of lebanon, and the government of israel, i believe that what should be done is to return to the same Un Resolution, i am sure that my friend Antonio Guterres knows exactly what, what kind of resolution it is, it is a very good one but it was not fully implemented, it should be implemented, it should be implemented that, there should be tools to implement this very specific resolution, and than will put an end to the war. You are saying will put an end to the war. You are saying that will put an end to the war. You are saying that there will put an end to the war. You are saying that there should be are saying that there should be a simple solution, it doesnt feel that simple at the moment, we have Air Strikes first, do you think Ground Forces going this is the only way to get to what you are talking about for the israeli war aims to be satisfied . The israeli war aims to be satisfied . God forbid, god forbid, it satisfied . God forbid, god forbid, it is satisfied . God forbid, god forbid, it is so satisfied . God forbid, god forbid, it is so unneeded l satisfied . God forbid, god | forbid, it is so unneeded to continue it now, i think that the best way for both sides which paid already a high price in the last year, sere to sit together, hezbollah will not sit with israel, and as you mentioned before, it is considered and rightly so a Terrorist Organisation but through the un or another third party, and put an end to it now. An attack is going to be very costly, israel will win this war, as it won other wars but the price might be really, really unneeded, not for lebanon, we should put an end to it, and the Secretary General is right, in saying that it will be very bad if the Air Strikes continue by attack, i dont think the israelis are eager to have such an attack, we dont need it. That was the Formerjustice Minister of israel, one of the initiators of the Israel PalestineOslo Peace accords. Among those due to speak is president zelensky, who is on a week long trip to the us, where he is expected to unveil his Victory Plan to defeat russia. He is on a week long trip to the us where he is due to meet president biden who will also address the un. Heres our diplomatic correspondent, james landale. The united nations general Assembly Home to the largest annual gathering of global leaders, the stage from where Today Theyll discuss the conflicts and crises afflicting the world. And one of the most important is this mans efforts to defend ukraine from russian aggression. I invite all leaders, nations to continue supporting ourjoint efforts for a just and peacefulfuture. Putin has stolen much already, but he will never steal the worlds future. Mr zelensky, of course, wants more artillery shells, like these being manufactured at an Ammunition Plant he visited in pennsylvania. But he also wants more long range missiles and permission to fire them directly into russia. Governor shapiro. Were glad to have you. Thats why hes here in america, making the case for his so called Victory Plan a package of weapons, Money And Security guarantees from the west that he hopes could push russia to the negotiating table. And for that, he needs support from allies on both sides of the atlantic. We need greater collective efforts to prevent and end conflict. For britain, that means upholding ukraines sovereignty. But the united nations here is divided over ukraines future, and its Security Council is gridlocked by russias veto. So this is not the forum where peace will be found, but its more the theatre where diplomatic positions will be staked out. Un Spokesmen Say theyd convene Peace Talks if they could, but. I think we have to be realistic about the situation in ukraine. We dont feel or think there will be a. We are close to an end to the conflict because we just see what the situation is on the ground. Were also were idealists, but were also very much realists, right . Joe biden arrived in New York ahead of his own speech to the un later today, his last as president a Swan Song that ukraine hopes may signal that more support is on its way. This assembly may not be as united as its name suggests, but the words uttered on this stage will have consequences. James landale, Bbc News, New York. Later today a senior executive at Tech Security Firm crowdstrike will face questions from the us congress about its disastrous Software Update that caused the largest global It Outage in history. Injuly, a bug infested update was sent to millions of computers running microsoft windows around the World And Chaos ensued. Our Technology EditorZoe Kleinman reports. Thousands of flights grounded, doctors appointments cancelled, Tv Channels falling off air. The It Outage felt around the world injuly has been described as the worst cyber event in history. Microsoft said around 8. 5 million computers around the world were disabled after a cyber Security Company called crowdstrike sent out a corrupted Software Update to its nearly 24,000 customers, many of them huge companies we rely on in our everyday lives. Look atjensen. Are we going to disneyland . Were going to disneyland right now. Jo and her children were among the thousands affected by the chaos. No explanation whatsoever. Everybody wasjust, you know, crowding round people who worked at the airport. And they were just like, we dont know whats going on. Whats The Point Of Making Us stand here . Weve been here since ten this morning. I was heartbroken at the end of it, actually. Oh my gosh, im sorry. Yeah. Sorry. Jo managed to get money back for the cancelled flights, but she lost almost £1,000 on her disneyland tickets. 13 hours we have waited. Each month i was like. Finding myself, like, skint because im putting away like £328 each month of my wage, and im not full time, im only part time, you know . Thats a lot to save, isnt it . Yeah. And then itjust. And thenjust for that £900 just to be gone. Just, you know. And then all the, all the money i spent on the outfits, you know, that was like £300 for all the clothes to take them there and things like that as well, and cant take them with them next year because theyll outgrown them and stuff. Oh, this is brutal. Yeah. So how did this happen . Its a tale of two glitches. Crowdstrike says it did have a system in place to make sure its updates worked properly before it released them, but a glitch in that system meant it didnt pick up another glitch in the update itself. And we all know what happened after that. As youd expect, the company now says better testing and checks will help in the future. Tough questions are expected for crowdstrike later today, when one of its bosses will be grilled by us lawmakers in congress. The key answers that we need from this hearing is, firstly, confirmation of the technical detail of what went wrong. Secondly, what was the failure in process here . Has a failure of process been identified . And, if so, thirdly, what has changed since, and what are crowdstrike going to do to prevent this going wrong in future . It may seem shocking that a company many people had never heard of could cause so much chaos, but its also a Reminder Ofjust how fragile digital life can be and how little control we have over the tech which drives it. Zoe kleinman, Bbc News. A new study reveals octopuses are far from the solitary creatures we suspected they were. In fact, the study by the Max Planck Institute of Animal Behavior suggests Big BlueOctopuses Socialise with fish to share the load when it comes to hunting. It appears these famously intelligent creatures help organise the groups hunting decisions. And if a Fish Isnt pulling its weight, the octopus might even give it a punch. Who knew they were such hard taskmasters. We will be at the Labour Conference. You can follow on the qr code, butjust now it is time for a look at the weather. Hello again.

Eventually that will get into northern england, and for Northern Ireland, the rest of england and wales it is a mixture of bright spells, sunny intervals and some scattered showers. It is also going to feel fresher than yesterday, especially in the north, because we are starting to pull in a northerly wind behind our Weather Front. That Weather Front is going to continue to sink southwards tonight, with its showers. There will be clear skies around, showers across south West England, drifting into central southern england, and it will be cold enough in sheltered glens and rural parts of Northern Ireland for a touch of frost, as temperatures slip just below freezing. But again, a Cooler Night across the board in recent nights. As we head from wednesday into thursday, you can see how we have got the next low pressure pushing steadily northwards and eastwards, Cooler Air comes in right behind it, across the country, so you will feel the draught literally during the course of friday. But back to wednesday, we have Rain Coming in from the south west. Some of this will be heavy as it pushes into south West England and wales, getting into central, southern england by the end of the day. Moving north, it is bright spells and showers, with temperatures 10 to about 17, so temperatures dipping once again. Into thursday, The Rain continues to push northwards, into northern england, scotland and Northern Ireland. There will be heavily showers following on behind. To the west, some brighter skies, but also, quite blustery winds, especially along the east coast, and these temperatures 11 to about 17 degrees.
