Days of intense violence. Inside gaza, it looks every bit as if palestinians are feeling the full force of Israeli Military power. Israel says hamas is responsible for the suffering of gazas civilians. And its retaliation for the hamas attack is only just begun. Hamas has threatened to start killing its israeli hostages. The air strikes rolled on, hour after hour. Palestinian armed groups, undeterred, kept up their own barrage of israel. 0ur bbc team was in ashkelon in southern israel, not far from the gaza border when a salvo came in.

But youve got to move on pretty quickly in this tournament. We lost by 100 runs today, but i think we just gave them too many runs. We shouldnt have chased 320.

hello and welcome to the lebanese capital beirut. this is the famous corniche, still farfrom recovered from the devastating explosion of 2020 and its economy and morale is as badly damaged as its infrastructure. and now it is deeply nervous about the possibility that it might get sucked into yet another war with israel if the present fighting in gaza spreads. but what are the chances that it will? it is tense, it is very volatile and that is the concern, that this could become a new front in this conflict. one crisis tends to wipe out the memory of previous ones. the collapse of western support for afghanistan, for instance, and the victory of the taliban in 2021. a million plus afghans fled illegally to pakistan and the pakistani government is now threatening to throw them out. the government of pakistan has built the narrative that terrorism acts in pakistan, there is always an afghan link. and artificial intelligence, can a conference based at the first home of electronic
