In a moment well speak to our middle East Correspondent Yolande Knell Injerusalem but first lets go to Hugo Bachega in beirut. Hugo, we could see smoke and flames rising over the south of the city, particularly last night. What if a situation like where you are this morning . Situation like where you are this mornin . ~. , situation like where you are this mornin . A, � , situation like where you are this morninu . , � , morning . Morning, sally. Its ust after 8am here, i morning . Morning, sally. Its ust after 8am here, and it i morning . Morning, sally. Its ust after 8am here, and it was i morning . Morning, sally. Itsjustl after 8am here, and it was another night of intense israeli Air Strikes. Around 12 Air Strikes hitting beirut, and this morning at least one explosion already. We have seen footage from those attacks, that happened overnight, multiple secondary explosions, probably triggered by ammunition and weapons being stored in those locations hit. What we are seeing here is that beirut has become a key target of the israeli military, it is being targeted multiple times a day, every single day, in recent days. And where hezbollah is based In The City as a main target, i was there yesterday, most residents have fled, there is a lot of destruction. Also israeli air Strikes Yesterday in central lebanon Killed 12 people including three children. The israeli military saying it is taking measures to avoid civilian casualties including warning residents to leave areas that is going to be targeted by the Israeli Army. But visiting beirut yesterday, the Un Chief Felipe Grande saying israeli attacks across the country had violated international law by destroying civilian infrastructure and killing civilians. You destroying civilian infrastructure and killing civilians. Destroying civilian infrastructure and killing civilians. You go, thank ou. Its a Year Today since hamas gunmen stormed into israel, killing 1,200 people and taking 251 hostage. Since the 7th Of October, in retaliation, nearly 42,000 people have been Killed In Gaza, according to the hamas run health ministry. Yolande knell looks back. This was israels deadliest ever day. Exactly one year ago, waves of Hamas Fighters from gaza led a bloody attack on Israeli Army bases, villages, a music festival. Snatching hostages. And it triggered the deadliest ever war against palestinians. With relentless israeli bombardment, most of Gazas Population forced from their homes. A humanitarian catastrophe. Theres still no end in sight. They destroyed our house and our life. Hadas calderon from Nir Oz going back to the home where her Mother And Niece were Killed. Her Son And Daughter were kidnapped by hamas and held for 52 days before they were released in a truce deal. But hadas says theyre still living the nightmare of the 7th Of October. Her ex husband, ofer, is one of dozens of hostages stuck In Gaza, last seen alive in a tunnel by his daughter. We know that every moment his life is. Can be gone. My daughter, she said, because she met him and he told her, please fight for me, i dont want to be dead, to die here in the caves. Whole life is on hold, hold. We cant think about future, we cant think about nothing else. Repeated attempts by us, egyptian and qatari diplomats to negotiate a Gaza Ceasefire and Hostage Deal have failed. And every day In Gaza brings new casualties. Last month, an israeli Air Strike hit the Younis Family home in nusseirat, killing hassan, aged six, and his grandmother. Translation i want to know why. We are civilians, we pose no threat. Now in hospital, Ahmed Younis tries to cheer his surviving children with memories of happier days. Theyve lost all they Owned and are in constant pain. Translation i want my children and my wife to be treated. If i could, i would take them abroad. There is no safety. I hope from god that the war stops today before tomorrow. But instead, the fighting is now spreading in the Middle East. And that leaves many palestinians and israelis desperately worried that World Attention is shifting away from their suffering.

She was the Prime End of thes most senior aide, the Prime Ministers most senior aide, their attention in number 10, claims of that, that she was holding things up, she was instrumental in holding up pay for some people at the power struggles, all denied by number 10 at the time.
