In the lebanese capital. The israeli military carried out multiple bombings and several ground incursions throughout the day. The lebanese health ministry said the strikes led to dozens of deaths, including ten firefighters. Hezbollah fired 130 rockets — most of which were intercepted — into israel, where across the nation a day of commemoration has been taking place to mark the first anniversary of the deadly october 7th attacks by hamas, as clive myrie reports. Their tears are shared. There's a solidarity in this nation's sorrow, uniting strangers and friends, rich and poor, young and old. As a still traumatised people mourn, thousands gathered in southern israel, remembering the 383 people killed at the nova music festival. What's also being mourned is the death of promise, because so many young lives yet to be lived were snatched away. Ask this survivor of the horror of october 7th, in her early 20s. 0ur conversation about how she ran for cover, broken by the sound of artillery fire as war rages not far away in gaza. I rememberfor a few minutes, just running, not knowing where to go. And the war continues. It continues — a year later and it continues, and it's very sad to say, but i'm kind of used to it by now. I'm only 23, i think it's best that i am used its messd up that i am used to rockets and missiles, and terror attacks. I mean. . . That is such a tragedy. I don't know how — how is it possible that one year later, we still have 101 hostages? a few miles away from here? beneath the collective trauma, there are divisions. Here in tel aviv, it's the bereaved families of the hostages still being held in gaza who are holding this commemoration. A different ceremony on behalf of the government — pre—recorded was later broadcast on television. How best to get the hostages home? how best to turn military victories into longer lasting political solutions? those are the big questions and fault lines. But for now, there's collective silence, to remember. Do you think you will ever get over your experience of what happened ? i hope so. I don't know, but i hope so. I'm wishing i will. I'm surrounded by amazing people. The whole nova community is my new family, so i am hoping i'm going to be ok, and i have to believe in that. But will israel be ok? in the last few hours, israel has again hit targets in the south of the lebanese capital, beirut. This follows attacks on israel by hezbollah from lebanon on sunday — rockets managed to penetrate air defences and hit the israeli port city of haifa. The country's military says it's investigating how that happened. And as it pounds beirut from the air, israel is also pursuing hezbollah across its northern border. Lucy williamson is there. The gaps in israel's defences are still being tested. A rocket fired from lebanon landed near a hospital, sending shrapnel and explosives through the car park as patients lay metres away. Dr 0sama nasser left his car here five minutes before the rocket hit, his daughter's car seat still intact inside the shattered frame. I'm a lucky man. It hit the car, not me. I have a little girl also. Two years old. And with every boom and siren, she gets anxious. It is hard to be in this situation one year, it's exhausting situation. Suddenly, more sirens — the panic here sharper this time. Seconds later, the thud of rockets. Three, four, five, six? that's a lot. Just coming to the safe room here after the siren sounded again at the hospital this morning. There's been a barrage, 20—a0 interceptions. Some of them sounded very close. 0utside, fresh smoke marks where rockets have landed. Another has hit a house. An elderly neighbour, frozen in shock, barely registering her injury. Part of the rocket still unexploded as bomb disposal teams are called in. Translation: since last night, we have a lot of incoming hezbollah rockets. This town has been targeted. The coming weeks will be very challenging. 0ur town has not been evacuated. Israel's ground invasion of lebanon is triggering a response, but a year after the hamas attacks, many many here see war as the solution to this border conflict — and invasion as the best defence. In responding to the hamas attack, israel has conducted a year of bombardments, seeing 41,000 palestinians lose their lives. The majority women and children. 0ur correspondent fergal keane has been following the stories of two families of the many whose lives have been changed forever. This story contains distressing details. A year of the sights and sounds of war. For the last 12 months, our cameras recorded the lives of gazans under fire. Now we've gone back to find some of those people. Last february, near rafah, two israeli hostages were rescued from hamas captivity. More than 70 gazans were reported killed. Abed—alrahman al—najjar was a farm labourer and father of seven. He was hit by shrapnel in front of his family in a refugee tent. Translation: what was his fault? what was his children's fault? what's my fault? nawara, 27, was six months pregnant. Several of the children were wounded. 13—year—old malak lost an eye. Translation: i'm in pain. I lost my dad. Enough! now, eight months later, malak is caring for a new baby sister, rahma. Translation: we feel tenderness and love towards her. _ i love her so much in a way no—one else knows. Sibling solidarity — essential for a family displaced four times since the war began. Translation: as a child who lost an eye, lost a father, i carry a pain that even mountains cannot bear. In gaza, there's| nowhere to run. Not from the war or loss. Translation: every day | sit| by myself, bring up his name, talk to him and cry. I feel like he's aware of everything i'm going through. I tell myself i need to be patient for the sake of my children. Injuly, a grieving mother. Translation: i constantly see the dog tearing at him and his hand and the blood pouring from his hand. In the suburb of shejaiya, the israeli army said it detected hamas fighters in this building during intensive fighting. Like here on a different operation, they used dogs to search. When troops entered, they found muhammed bharand his family. The search dog attacked muhammed, who had down�*s syndrome and autism. Translation: it stays in front of my eyes the whole time. . It never leaves me at all. We couldn't save him, neither from them or from the dog. The troops gave muhammed some basic treatment. Two of his brothers were arrested. His family was ordered to leave. But the soldiers then left the wounded muhammed alone — in order, they said, to help troops who had been attacked nearby. A week later, when fighting here ended, the bhars returned to find muhammed dead. This is the bloodstained sofa where the dog attacked him. Three months on, muhammed's room has been left in darkness. Brotherjibreel says the soldiers abandoned his disabled sibling and wants an independent investigation. Translation: they could have treated him much better than they did, but theyjust put some gauze on him, as if they did a quick, carelessjob. Whether he lived or died didn't seem to matter to them. At the time, the army said it regretted any harm to civilians in combat operations, and accused hamas of using them as human shields. Muhammed is buried in an alley beside his home. The war means it's not safe to go to the cemetery here. She sings softly. Muhammed, his sister here singing him a lullaby, and malak, who lost her father, are just two stories of gaza out of many thousands. And the war goes on. Fergal keane, bbc news. I'm joined now by laura blumenfeld, who formerly served in the us state department as senior policy adviser for the middle east peace process. Thanks forjoining me. You were at an event at the israeli embassy in washington tonight, where us national security adviserjake sullivan was speaking. Was there anything he said tonight that stood out to you? a real sense of commemoration but no closure. There is no light at the end of hamas tunnels, and for those of us in diplomatic circles trying to find a way forward, it has been a year of frustration and setbacks. A couple of notable points national security adviser sullivan said that for israel and may be for all of us working in the region, the real challenge is to take some of the tactical successes on the battlefield and turn them into a long—term strategy for securing the peace. 0ne a long—term strategy for securing the peace. One thing he is talking about is the grand megadeal the administration was working on before hamas attacked israel a year ago today, to create a normalisation deal between israel and jordan, and then a defence pact between the us and saudi arabia, it was kind of scene as a win win for the moderates in the region, and look where we are today. There was a lot of _ look where we are today. There was a lot of hype _ look where we are today. There was a lot of hype around look where we are today. There was a lot of hype around that i was a lot of hype around that saudi pact. What is the role for washington to play in the months ahead? benjamin netanyahu saying his country will continue to fight until his war goals are met. What is washington's role here? jake sullivan said _ washington's role here? jake sullivan said it's _ washington's role here? jake sullivan said it's a _ washington's role here? jake sullivan said it's a hard washington's role here? 11—7 sullivan said it's a hard thing to push past hopelessness. It's very easy if you just focus on the region and descend into gloom. Whether it is the news out of the middle east with rockets and missiles, despite a year of fighting and bloodshed. . . College campuses, i have two kids at university and they said to me that it was and they said to me that it was a parade of eight today, with both sides, pro israel or pro—palestine, just screaming at each other. —— a parade of hate. You could call it a plastic moment in lebanon, which has been home to not only a proxy of iran but the proxy of iran, hezbollah, with the leadership decapitated and those stockpiles of missiles degraded, day by day, israel's blowing up more of them. There could be an opportunity for lebanon to reclaim its country. Not to be occupied by israel or hezbollah or iran, frankly, but the lebanese people. There is a chance to help broker that, we have a senior trusted administration official tirelessly trying to make that happen. And on the military front, as we think about retaliation, sort of back and forth with iran, this axis of resistance and what we think of as a coalition of coexistence, the us could consider taking a real hard hit at the houthis who have been disrupting shipping forfar too who have been disrupting shipping for far too long, who have been disrupting shipping forfar too long, and it might be an opportunity for the us to strike back. In terms ofthe the us to strike back. In terms of the visual, _ the us to strike back. In terms of the visual, the _ the us to strike back. In terms of the visual, the way the us to strike back. In terms of the visual, the way the of the visual, the way the world is seeing israel now, a year on from these attacks, how do you think that has changed? well, the israeli ambassador to the united states said himself that the israel of today is not the same israel of october the 7th. He didn't go into detail what that meant, but one thing it means for those of us watching from the outside, although they might be winning the ground war, they have been losing the story war. Whether israel. . . They have been clawing their way back to re—establishing their deterrence. . . 0rjust the moral high ground which they took great pride in, and i can imagine some of your viewers are laughing as i say this, but israelis genuinely believe they had a code or purity of arms, and that isjust had a code or purity of arms, and that is just in tatters today. —— of purity of arms. Thank you forjoining me. Around the world and across the uk. This is bbc news. Let's look at some other stories making news. In the uk, a gp has admitted trying to kill his mother's partner in a dispute over inheritance. Thomas kwan disguised himself as a nurse, and injected patrick o'hara with a poison, claiming it was a covid booster. Mr o'hara had to have parts of his arm removed as a result. Kwan had initially denied attempted murder at newcastle crown court, but changed his plea to guilty. He'll be sentenced next week. A double—decker bus carrying 43 school children and a driver crashed in county down. The northern ireland ambulance service — which originally declared the crash as a major incident — says four of those on board were taken to the hospital with injuries that were not life—threatening. Foreign secretary david lammy says britain's decision to relinquish control of the chagos islands does not signal a change in the government's position on other overseas territories. He said the status of the falkland islands, gibraltar and other british 0verseas territories are not up for negotiation. The government recently announced it would give up sovereignty over a cluster of remote indian ocean islands. You're live with bbc news. The us gulf coast is preparing for a dangerous storm, as category 5 hurricane milton makes it way to florida. Warnings have been issued for parts of florida's west coast as people prepare to evacuate. We're looking at pictures showing how enormous it's become over the past 2a hours. The national hurricane centre says milton has winds up to 180 miles per hour, or 285 kilometeres per hour, kilometres per hour, and that the pressue in the eye of the storm has fallen to a near record low. The lower the pressure, the stronger the storm. The storm is expected to make landfall wednesday night or early thursday morning, and could be the worst storm for parts of florida in over a century. Millions are under evacuation orders. Felecia bowser, meteorologist—in—charge at the national weather service in tallahassee florida, has told the bbc what people in the storms path should look out for as they prepare for landfall. People should not focus on the centre of the storm. Impacts can occur miles away, hundreds of miles away from the centre of the storm. So of course, there will be some wind impacts that'll have a powerful punch with it, so people need to prepare for the wind. Rainfall is also something people will have to prepare for — not only from the sky, but also from below in the form of storm surges, especially on the coast. People need to be aware of quick rising of waters, and they need to make sure they're not in that particular area when that was to occur. And when it comes to hurricanes, especially on the eastern flank of a hurricane, tornadoes will also be a possibility — so not only do we have that storm surge threat, there may also be tornadoes, as well. The mpox outbreak continues to spread across east and central africa. Around 18,000 mpox cases and more than 600 deaths have been reported this year alone, according to the africa centre for disease control. Some of those most at risk are long—distance truck drivers travelling the northern corridor — a major trade route connecting several african countries to the port of mombasa. The bbc�*s swahib ibrahim has been on this route, visiting the border in western uganda. He's been looking at the measures that are being taken to protect public health. Juma pulls up to the mpondwe one—stop border post for his regular inspection. Coming into uganda from the democratic republic of congo, he now has to go through an additional layer of screening after the mpox outbreak. Translation: we move in fear, especially on the other— side of the border. We try our level best to avoid mixing with crowds. Spending a few minutes being screened is perfectly 0k. It is better than travelling while sick, only to fail to reach kampala or your final destination. Juma's truck, along with over 100 others, transport fuel and supplies every day through this uganda border into the neighbouring drc, with hundreds more expected to make the return journey. 0thers cross on foot. To prevent mpox from entering the country, uganda has increased surveillance in the nine main border points it shares with the drc, which is a hotspot for the virus. So long as the vehicle is coming from drc, we always monitor them and we make sure that everyone has stopped, all the occupants of the vehicle have moved out and have gone through the screening process. We make sure that everyone is engaged in hand washing. After that, the temperature is taken. We do also visual screening. For those people who are going a bit very far, we make sure that we have to document each and every one. The africa centres for disease control and prevention, or africa cdc, has identified long—distance truck drivers operating along the northern corridor as a high—risk group for mpox transmission. The northern corridor is a vital trade route that starts from the port of mombasa in kenya to uganda, rwanda, burundi and the eastern part of the drc. This is not the first time uganda has responded to outbreaks. The government has successfully responded to covid—19, ebola and other haemorrhagic fever outbreaks like marburg in congo, which are often concentrated in the border district of kasese, and lessons have been learned. The biggest thing to do is to mobilise the leadership and then go into community mobilisation. The magic is that you use the government structures, leadership structures and then mobilise the masses. Uganda confirmed the first two cases of mpox in july 2024 through such a routine surveillance system. In this district of kasese, the country continues to report new cases, keeping the country on alert. The ministry of health has confirmed more than 20 cases of clade 1b strain. It is lunchtime, just seven kilometres from the mpondwe—kasindi border point, and students from this primary school rush out of class. Being a school at the border of uganda and the drc, particular attention is being paid to such institutions. Children in the east of the democratic republic of congo are worst affected by the current outbreak of mpox. We normally guide them that whoever feels headache, anything, should come to us and report so that we see if it is a serious sickness. You can report to the hospital, but we have the health teacher who normally care for those children in case they are sick. 0ur border facilities treat many, many congolese nationals. Of course, health has no boundary, so the most important — identifying time, isolate and be able to control at that level. So we should not really expect a lot of escalation as long as our systems are working. On top of the surveillance, there is an added layer of protection on the way. Uganda's health ministry has received an allocation of 2,000 doses of the vaccine from the africa cdc. This will only cover about 1,000 individuals as they seek to secure more. The health authorities say they will prioritise health workers and border communities like this one in the vaccination campaign. It only remains to be seen whether these protections will also be effective along the unmonitored porous border crossings. Swahib ibrahim, bbc. A rift in the political party that control�*s ethiopia's tigray province has raised fears that the peace deal that ended the civil war there could unravel. A faction within the tigray people's liberation front — the party that led a two—year rebellion against ethiopia's government — has announced the removal of the region's interim president. Tigray is still recovering from the conflict that killed hundreds of thousands of people and forced nearly two million from their homes. North korean leader kim jong—un said his country was speeding up efforts to become a nuclear superpower. State media says the remarks came in a message to mark russian president vladimir putin's 72nd birthd
