Now with all the latest sport heres hugh. Hello from the Bbc Sport centre. The highest court in the European Union has said that Fifa Rules which govern the way some Football Transfers work break the eus laws, in a ruling that could have a big effect on future deals. Its after a long running legal battle between former Chelsea And ArsenalMidfielder Lassana Diarra and fifa that has been won by the retired player whose lawyer says the whole Transfer System has changed with the ruling. Diarras legal team successfully argued that fifas current system contravenes Eu Laws regarding freedom of movement of players and competition between clubs. Footballs world governing body had refused to provide diarra with an international Transfer Certificate for a proposed move to belgian Club Charleroi in 2015.

You can follow that on the Bbc Sport website. And thats all the sport for now. And now back to the middle east. These are the live pictures over beirut and we have seen more strikes on the lebanese capital today. Huge blasts overnight quite close to the airport. With Reports Israel was going after the new leader of hezbollah. And also strikes in Beirut Yesterday with the Israeli Military saying they are still assessing the damage of the strikes on the damage of the strikes on the hezbollah� s intelligence headquarters. A major road out of lebanon was struck overnight, which the Israeli Military says was being used to transport weapons the Israeli Military Accused hezbollah of using the crossing to transport Military Equipment into lebanon. Bbc verify has been looking at footage, and the importance of this route to thousands of people fleeing the fighting. Richard Own'>Irvine BrOwn has more. Videos have showed damage following the strike at the Border-crossing'>Border Crossing and you can see it spans the width of the road rendering it impossible for vehicles. This is a key route between Beirut And Damascus and this is what it looks like on google earth, zooming right dOwn to that or level of the road. Over here it is a screenshot from the video be verified at the scene and you can see the same ravine, what helped us verify the footage was by comparing it to a Youtube Video posted in 2022 and filmed by a motorcyclist on that road. You can see the same pylons and rock formations, the same as the footage of the damage. A note of caution, similar spot on this road was struck in 2006, seen here, so to confirm the footage was new we took stills from the video and searched for previous images online, and we looked at the damage we are seeing today, and we think that is different to what we saw in 2006 and then we cross checked the location with doors able to visualise what the terrain looks like and confirmed that the damage happened here around 700 metres from the checkpoint, five kilometres from the Border itself. So, today the Israeli Military confirmed they had struck the masnaa Border, but what is the Knock On Effect . It is a major route for those trying to get out of lebanon. The territory is very mountainous so the next crossing is almost 100 kilometres away, fight of the north, so this video which was taken on friday, hours after the strike, shows people and families on foot heading for syria, and trying to get around the damage on the road. Let me show you this chart from the Refugee Agency which is being used to chart the movement of people and they say 185,000 people and they say 185,000 people have crossed into syria and a number of them have used the masnaa crossing, the main route since the conflict between Israel And Hezbollah increased, and the one concern is of course for their safety. Lets speak to rula amin, who is director of the middle East And NorthAfrica Bureau at the united nations high commissioner for refugees. Thanks forjoining us. How much of a problem on a humanitarian scale is a strike like that in terms of the people trying to get out and for aid trying to get out and for aid trying to getin . Get out and for aid trying to get in . It is a major problem. This is the major Entry Point to syria that most lebanese and syrians who fled the bombings have been using. We have seen over the past ten days, thousands and thousands of lebanese and syrians crossing this Border, and today the Air Strike which has hit in the no Mans Land between syria and lebanon, between the Border posts, has halted all kind of traffic but people were so desperate to get away from the bombings that we saw so many families with their children and belongings walking on foot around the damage, trying to get to syria, hoping for a safe spot, protection for their children, many of them arrived exhausted and traumatised and they have driven for hours until they were able to reach the Border. Until they were able to reach the Border. ,. , the Border. Tell me more about the Border. Tell me more about the numbers the Border. Tell me more about the numbers of the Border.

It is a tragic humanitarian currently is . It is a tragic humanitarian situation i currently is . It is a tragic humanitarian situation because according to the lebanese government, more than almost A Million people were forced to flee their homes in lebanon, and most of those have led to areas inside lebanon so it is mostly internal displacement but with israel expanding the areas they are targeting, that means the areas people feel safe to run to our shrinking, and so we have seen more and more people fleeing to syria, trying to protect their families. To date this movement was hindered but there are three other Border-crossing'>Border Crossing still operational, although as the reporterjust alluded, they are 100 kilometres away, it is are 100 kilometres away, it is a much longer route, this also affects our efforts to mobilise and bring more Relief Items like blankets and Food Items and so on, so the trucks that usually bring these items, and other drivers feel unsafe to cross, so we have two off load yesterday. Today the trucks had to go on a lot longer route in order to get into lebanon. Yesterday flights, so many had been cancelled in the region, they could not get medical teams into the region and that must be affecting you as well. In terms of getting enough supplies in given the numbers you are talking about, do you have enough aid on the ground and give me your thoughts on the dangers to your team with all of this going on around them . ,. ,. , all of this going on around them . ,. ,. , them . You hit on so many critical points them . You hit on so many critical points and them . You hit on so many critical points and i them . You hit on so many critical points and i will. Them . You hit on so many critical points and i will try j critical points and i will try to address all of them but basically, the needs are growing by the day with more people fleeing and so our current resources on the ground, my colleagues on the ground, my colleagues on the ground providing all kinds of Relief Items, blankets, preparing shelters, even giving Cash Assistance but that is not a lot because there are a lot of people being displaced and we are trying to bring in more supplies, also anticipating another escalation that could even shut the Borders. So now we have delays and disruptions to bring in the items and the Security Situation means some of the flights were grounded yesterday, some of them were able to fly in today but we are hearing every day of more challenges to bring the aid in, but it is critical because these people are leaving their houses and they do not take anything with them and they need Water And Food and medical care, and most of all, they are civilians who need to be protected according to international law. This is our strongest appeal. We need the parties to respect international law and to spare civilians and to make sure that humanitarian workers like my colleagues who are on the ground in lebanon are safe and that their safety is guaranteed so they can continue to reach those people in need. The best solution is for the conflict to stop now, today, before tomorrow, because every day means more lives are lost and more displacement and more hardship. More displacement and more hardshi. , more displacement and more hardshi. ,. ,. , hardship. The worst scenario is that this might hardship. The worst scenario is that this might be hardship.

We really fear and are concerned and we dread a further escalation. The escalation happening now is so devastating that it is really hard to imagine what it will look like if further escalation is to come, so we are appealing for all countries who have influence over the warring parties to put pressure in order to stop this today. The lebanese have been going through a very serious socioeconomic crisis and they have no resources to be able to manage this kind of situation. The shelters that the government has established, almost 900, they cannot cope, so many people are sleeping in the open air, their children are sleeping in the open air, but they need all kind of support. Without these guarantees it will be very hard to provide this and they should not be left on their Own. Not be left on their Own. Sorry to cut across not be left on their Own.
