The blast. We can go to Beirut And Anna foster. We were speaking to our colleague who was saying the news has been reported on iranians media. That is right. It is an important moment. What i think will be a moment when you see a collective outpouring of grief in southern suburbs of beirut and the south of the country and the south of the Country And Bekaa valley is when we have the funeral. I have no indication when it will happen. It will happen reasonably quickly because these things always do. Perhaps tomorrow. That will be a big moment. If you look back to just over a week ago when we had the attacks with pagers and walkie talkies. People gathered at funerals and a second wave of attacks came then so when people go to a funeral they will remember what happened a week ago and be nervous.

very well and this is rafael nadal we re talking about, a 22 time grand slam champion. i think the other advantage of winning two matches here already and having a third against jordan thomson of australia is that will be three matches in four days. if he wins the quarterfinal, then four matches in five days and this exactly what you need when you re returning to the tour having had a year away. there were two hours and 15 minutes on the clock when that third set began. we just need to be reliastic, if you ve been out since april and you have had three minor operations, two on her hand and one on her left ankle, then you re going to tire in the third set of a match of that quality and physicality. she was really going for her shots, we know that is the way she plays and wants to play. but her defence was very, very good. again, it s been a really encouraging couple of rounds for her. i think certainly above expectations given that she s had so little tennis in 2023. india hav

It has been a busy day. Lets get more from our Political Correspondent damian grammaticas. Enter the man who has staked everything on this gamble, calling an election now. Quite a few of his mps are not convinced by the timing and he has a huge poll deficit to overcome. I want to build a britain, a country where you all can have confidence, restored confidence and pride in our communities, in our society and our nation.

Warm in scotland, 9 degrees in aberdeen, compared with 2a or 25 across parts of south east england. And then as we head through saturday night, the rain band will slowly shift its way northwards, so, for there of central parts of scotland it will turn just a little bit drier. On sunday the heaviest rain will be across the north of scotland into orkney, elsewhere, some spells of sunshine, maybe not quite as warm on sunday but still pretty remarkable for october, 2a degrees in the south east, little bit less cool in northern parts of scotland. Extra week starts off warm in the south, only slowly will it start to feel more like we would expect in october. Astonishing. Ben rich, thank you. Thats it. More analysis is on newsnight with faisal islam, over on bbc two.
