But the expanding assault has forced more than A Million lebanese from their homes in the past two weeks. Many taking refuge in the capital. There may be glimpses of normality, but this is not the Safe Haven they hoped it would be. Translation the lebanese people are used to this, this is not the problem. The problem is with how we are living, with the people who are sleeping in the streets. You need countries to start taking action. The situation is a disaster and we are living through it. What should we do . We can no go anywhere. We cannot travel. All the country is at risk. And because of that, we have to live what should we do . We have to live with it. Israel also hit the northern lebanese city of tripoli in the early hours.

We are suffering already, already we have started to suffer to get our ingredients and there is more divided, if you ask for five tonnes of rice, they will tell you, get one turn and we will try and get you another.

Lets turn now to protest that are taking place around the World Today<\/a> in opposition to the conflict in the middle east, the ongoing conflict. We can see some of the scenes in Cape Town<\/a> in South Africa<\/a> later. Demonstrators called for an end to the israel hamas conflict. It comes ahead of mondays first anniversary of the october seventh attacks, which began the current wave of violence. Protests are also taking place in the uk including in central london. I spoke to our News Correspondent Divya<\/a> talwar, as people gathered before marching. When i spoke to the organisers again ahead of this march, they expect it to be big. This is what we have got here. There are a few thousand people who have turned up on the streets of the capital to take part in the demonstration. You might be out to sea behind me people carrying palestinian flags, placards and banners with the Words Ceasefire<\/a> now and stop the bombing in lebanon. There are people here of different ages, faiths and backgrounds, people who have come from all parts of the uk. Ive spoken to people from stoke on trent, from birmingham, they say they feel helpless. I spoke to one woman who says she has palestinian family who were killed in gaza. The demonstrators here are calling for a ceasefire. In gaza and an end to the escalating violence in the middle east.

It is frustrating to miss out, but the three test in the summer when i was with a team and not playing, i enjoy watching cricket, but knowing that you are not able to be a part of the game makes it a little bit easier, but i have got some good things to focus on so, although i am not playing, i have got a goal in mind so that will take my mind away from this point. I have pushed myself incredibly hard, worked really hard with the medical team to get where i have now. I think i am further ahead than expected today. But i will be working just as hard over the next ten days to get myself a chance.

We have got a team there, smoke rising and we have a team keeping us Up To<\/a> date. I am have a team keeping us Up To<\/a> date. Iam back have a team keeping us Up To<\/a> date. I am back shortly with a full update on the latest news here on Bbc News<\/a>. Hello there a quiet start to the weekend of weather, and it looks likely that most of us will keep some dry weather throughout the day today. This was norwich earlier on. A little bit misty. First thing in the morning, thats lifted away. Weve got sunny spells and well keep sunny spells further north and west more in the way of thicker cloud. But even across northern ireland, portrush and along the causeway coast, here its dry, the rain staying out towards western fringes. Theres some rain pushing its way through scotland, thats drifting its way steadily northwards, easing from parts of aberdeenshire. Youll see some brightness to close out the day. For the bulk of england and wales, dry with light southerly winds and some sunny spells coming through even northern ireland. Most of that rain should stay well out to the west. So in terms of the feel of the weather, not bad out there. 15 to 17 degrees quite widely across the country now through this evening and overnight, low pressure will start to push in from the atlantic. And this Frontal System<\/a> will bring further showery outbreaks of rain with it. It is going to be pretty hit and miss as we go through the night, but with The Cloud<\/a> and the rain around, well, temperatures will hold up quite widely into double digits. So well start off Tomorrow Morning<\/a> with certainly more cloud than weve seen today. And some of this rain down towards the South West<\/a> and into wales could turn quite heavy and quite potent. Sheltered central and eastern areas will keep the best of the drier weather. Still the risk of an isolated shower, but they will be fairly isolated and temperatures pretty much similar to today. But this rain could be quite heavy and potent as it continues to push its way through the midlands up into the north of england to close out sunday. Now, as we move into monday, low pressure is going to stay with us and we will see showers or longer spells of rain to start the week. By the middle part of the week, well need to keep a close eye on this area of low pressure. Im sure youve heard us mentioned it has the remnants of Hurricane Kirk<\/a> in it. At the moment, it wants to move to the south of the uk, but there is a chance it could be further north. Keep watching the forecast. Once that low moves through, however, the Wind Direction<\/a> changes to a northerly and it will turn colder as we head towards the weekend. So a pretty unsettled week ahead with showers or longer spells of rain. Some of it could be quite heavy across southern england and then colder into next weekend. This is Bbc News<\/a> the headlines. Israel continues striking beirut, with several sites hit across the lebanese capital over the past few hours.
