Killed, including 35 children, killed, including 35 children, and at least 1,600 others i urge you, take this warning seriously. Don't let hezbollah endanger your lives and the lives of your loved ones. Don't let hezbollah endanger lebanon. Please get out of harm's way now. But where to find safety in the middle of all this? explosion. Screaming. For one man, too late. My siblings and their children were all killed here, he says. The israeli army insists its air strikes are destroying weapons, some hidden in homes, and it accuses hezbollah of using civilians as human shields. 0n the roads from the south, a mass exodus. So many heading to beirut that the motorway became a one—way system. Ahmed says everyone fled his village because of air strikes and destruction. There's no one left, he says, we took our belongings and went. So many new homeless now in this expanding war. In beirut, too, fear on the streets and a rush to get home. Are you feeling afraid? sure, mohammed tells me. I'm afraid for myself, my wife and my five children. I don't know what to do. How long will we be living through this? we can't keep going. Parents were summoned to schools to pick up their children early. There were threats by phone, he says, that they'll hit beirut. Some in the capital have been getting recorded messages telling them to go, including staff at lebanon's information ministry. For months, there have been fears of a wider war. Now, the waiting is over — it's here. Israel's escalation is a huge risk, and notjust for lebanon, but for the entire middle east. 0rla guerin, bbc news, beirut. In northern israel, people are living with the daily threat of rocket attacks by hezbollah. 0ur correspondent paul adams is in northern israel, where evacuees from further north have been housed for almost a year. The jagged remains of a hezbollah rocket. Nothing that happened in israel today remotely compares with events across the border, but hezbollah is hitting back. David had seconds to get his family into the safe room before the rocket came through his roof. The local rabbi comes to offer support. Israel, david says, did not want this war. We don't have a war with them. They start with no reason. So now we are giving back. And it will, in the end, it will be ok. Do you feel lucky today? yes, very lucky. Israel's defence minister has called on the public to show composure and discipline, and listen to the instructions issued by the local authorities. It's only because the family who live here did precisely that that no—one was hurt. Air raid sirens. Across northern israel, sirens wailed and rockets fell. Plenty of near misses. Explosion. The government says it's determined to restore normal life here to allow displaced civilians to return to their homes. But that's not going to happen while hezbollah is still firing rockets deep into israel. Hezbollah, on the 8th of october, started firing at israeli civilians in the northern border, and has been doing this for over 11 months, with 9,000 rockets. And 60,000 israelis have left their homes. We have to act. People were evacuated to this kibbutz a year ago, leaving vulnerable homes along the border. It's supposed to be safer, but today they were taking cover. So that's the second alarm we've had since we got here, what, just about an hour ago. Again we can hear interceptions overhead, and i look at the app here, i can see there are alerts all the place. This area remains in the firing line. If hezbollah chooses to escalate it could soon be the whole country. Paul adams, bbc news, northern israel. 0ur international editor jeremy bowen is injerusalem. He explains what each side thinks they can get out of this escalation. It's a really dangerous moment. From hezbollah�*s point of view, they want to keep on fighting, fighting israel is in their dna, it is why they exist. And while theirfight with israel goes back to the 1980s, this, as you have been hearing, goes back to the day after hamas attacked israel. The israelis have been pushing harder in recent months, escalating steadily. But in the last week, as we have been seeing, it has been going much, much harder and faster. And while they have inflicted some grievous blows on their enemies in lebanon, the hezbollah infrastructure is much bigger than that. If you look at gaza, after nearly one year, israel still hasn't managed, for example, to destroy all the hamas tunnels that have been built through sand. In lebanon, they are built through rock. And the south is a much bigger area than gaza. Israel effectively is gambling. What it's hoping is that by doing what it is doing, it will coerce hezbollah into stopping firing into israel. I think that is probably unlikely and means israel have to continue escalating. They've already said this is going into a new phase and the ultimate escalation would be moving troops and tanks into lebanon. That might be difficult, particularly since their forces, after a year of fighting in gaza and a lot of violence in the west bank as well, are tired. And at the moment as well, they need to mobilise more reserves to get to that point. But let's be very clear about this, this is a very dangerous moment, and right now it's all going in one direction. Brian katulis is seniorfellow for us foreign policy at the middle east institute. He told me israel seems to be just getting started on its assault on lebanon. It looks like they're taking the first steps in what may be a more concerted campaign that could involve some ground troops, but most likely will be continued air assaults over the next few days that target hezbollah�*s infrastructure and its command and control capabilities. Where this all goes, anyone knows. Because it really depends on how some of hezbollah�*s partners and supporters, like iran, might react to this moment. I think hassan nasrallah, the head of hezbollah, hinted that there could be some retaliation in the form of the types of terror attacks that hezbollah is quite capable of doing, notjust in the region, but around the world. Well, lebanon's prime minister says israel's actions amount to a war of extermination. Are he and the lebanese people more broadly powerless here? how separate are they from hezbollah? well, lebanon is a very divided country these days. It's been so for years. And there are many people who don't like hezbollah. But most lebanese also don't like seeing their country being bombed, um, by their neighbour, israel. So the costs of civilian casualties, if they rise, will, i think, lead to some sort of effect where people who don't even like hezbollah and don't like what they do, lebanese, may question more where this is all going and what are the costs? everybody wants to avoid the scenario that played out in 2006, when there was an extended conflict. It was quite costly for lebanon overall. I think we'll see what happens if israel is successful in targeting some of hezbollah�*s leaders. I think it's hard to imagine that hezbollah itself will be fully disentangled from lebanon, because it's been there for years. And what does israel determine as success? we know israel's defence minister is saying that the strikes will continue until we achieve our goals to return the residents of the north safely to their homes. That's one definition. I think another thing israel has in mind is trying to restore a sense of strategic deterrence, not only with hezbollah, but with a number of different groups that have targeted israel since october 7th, october 8th of last year. Now, the problem is, is that a lot of these groups aren't full fledged government governments. They're not. . . They�*re more like militias. Some are terror groups. So it's actually hard to restore strategic deterrence against groups that are essentially fighting a war of attrition through missiles, drones, and trying to actually keep israel under siege on multiple fronts. And that's i think the challenge here israel needs to watch carefully is whether they get stretched too thin by trying to respond to so many provocations and so many attacks from across many sides of its border. The unga is currently getting under way in new york. Do you think the international community can do more, should do more? the us, for one, is says it's trying to de—escalate tensions, but it doesn't seem like anything is holding israel back. No, not at all. I mean, i think the united states looks like a deer in the headlights. Israel launched its attacks on the beepers and two—way radios last week, while secretary of state antony blinken was in the region. And it looks like a deer in the headlights for the us. As for the so—called international community, i used to think that that actually existed. But after years of watching the inaction from russia, china, so many others on the atrocities in syria, i wouldn't put a lot of hopes on this year's un general assembly finding some sort of pathway to resolving this. I think ultimately it's the balance of forces on the ground and whether this idea that israel has that it wants to restore deterrence. It's the balance of forces of what hezbollah and some of its backers think it can get away with that will determine whether or not this actually spirals further out of control. The luxury british store harrods has launched an internal review into whether current staff were involved in any of the allegations relating to the former owner, mohamed al fayed, who is accused of multiple rapes and sexual assaults by several women who worked for him. It comes as one former employee tells the bbc that a manager failed to investigate her complaints of inappropriate behaviour, saying that person is still working at harrods. Al fayed died last year. She's been talking to our correspondent ellie price. I feel pretty sick about it. It's really sickening to think of my situation and to think of other girls. Jessica was just 22 when she briefly worked at harrods in 2008. That's not her real name, and this is the first time she's spoken about her experience. She says, like other young women, she was cherry picked for mohamed al fayed by another female employee. When i look back at it, i feel like she was acting as his pimp. It wasn't clear to me at that time. She was just a figure i looked up to as one of the senior management. But now i reflect back on it, it is quite clear to see, you know, the actions that happened to put me in front of him came directly from her. Jessica says al fayed sexually assaulted her. When she went to an hr meeting to complain and hand in her notice, she felt too intimidated to detail what he had done. But she says she did complain about his inappropriate behaviour more generally, how he gave her large sums of money. She says she was left in no doubt that people in that meeting knew there was a sexual element to her complaint. One of those people still works at harrods. I feel quite strongly that the people that facilitated it happening also need to be brought to justice. And that is part of the reason why i am now speaking out about it. Those people, you know, i can see are still working either within the company or in other companies, and i have no doubt they have to have been fully aware of what was happening. Harrods has been under new ownership since 2010, and insists it is seeking to right the wrongs of the past chairman. In a statement tonight, the company said: mohamed al fayed died last year aged 94, but for many of his victims, their quest for justice is not over. Ellie price, bbc news.

Singapore is gearing up for its biggest corruption trial in decades, a rare case that has shocked a nation which prides itself on squeaky—clean governance.

Prosecutors in america say the suspected gunman arrested near donald trump's golf course eight days ago wrote a letter months earlier saying he planned to assassinate the former president. They allege ryan routh�*s note was addressed dear world and was placed in a box containing ammunition and dropped at the home of an unidentified person, who's now come forward, several months before his apparent attempt to shoot mrtrump in florida. 0ur north america editor sarah smith, who's in washington, has been telling us more about this letter. Well, in it, ryan routh confirmed that he was trying to kill the former president, but he also seemed to anticipate that he wouldn't succeed. It was addressed to dear world, and in it he said this was an assassination attempt on donald trump, but i failed you. I tried my best and summoned all the gumption i could muster, he said. And then he went on to say, it's now up to you to finish the job. And he offered $150,000, he said, to anyone who could complete the job. And we learned a bit more as well about how ryan routh had been basically stalking donald trump for about a month before this incident. His cell phone was detected several times near both the golf course and donald trump's mar—a—lago residence in florida. And on the day itself, when he was arrested, he had been lying in wait in the bushes on the edge of donald trump's golf course for up to 12 hours before he was spotted by the secret service, and the prosecutors said that he had a clear line of fire at the sixth hole on the golf course. Donald trump was only about 12 to 15 minutes away from playing that hole. He had a clear line of fire and it would have been, the prosecutors said, an easy shot. Ryan routh is now going to be detained in custody until a trial. The head of the firm behind the submersible which imploded while diving to the titanic shipwreck last year declared that no—one was dying on his watch after hearing safety concerns about the vessel. Stockton rush�*s comments emerged in documents released to the inquiry into the accident, in which he died along with four others. It's now been revealed the implosion left debris strewn for hundreds of meters across the sea floor. At the bottom of the atlantic ocean, new footage of the remains of 0ceangate's titan sub, its front dome secured by an underwater robot, ready to be pulled up to the surface. It took the titan sub about an hour and a half to make its descent. Its last known location was about 3,300 metres down — that's about 500 metres above the sea floor. It was about 300 metres away from the bow of the wreck of the titanic. Its implosion created a large debris field, just under 350 metres long and 150 metres wide. The bits of wreckage are shown by these dots. The front dome was found here. Made from titanium, it's still intact. Close by was a large part from the back end of the sub. The hull�*s been destroyed and parts of the tail cone were thrown much further afield. Nothing but the truth. . . The us coast guard is trying to establish what went wrong. Last week, david lochridge, 0ceangate's former marine operations director, gave evidence. He'd compiled a report about his safety concerns and was summoned to a meeting with 0ceangate's ceo, stockton rush. A transcript of this meeting that took place in 2018 has now been released. David lochridge said. . . A heated exchange follows, and stockton rush replied, the us coast guard heard evidence from 0ceangate's former engineering director. He was asked whether the sub was examined after a loud bang was heard during a dive to the titanic in 2022. What we really wanted to do was bring the sub back and just look at the inside of the hull, to see if there were any cracks, and it was very frustrating because we ha way frustrating because we had no way to work on it, no way to look at it, and we were told it was a cost issue. More witnesses will give evidence this week as the hearing continues. Seven people have died after floods swept through centraljapan. Torrential rain caused flooding and landslides in the noto peninsula. Authorities say at least ten people are missing. Tens of thousands more were forced to evacuate their homes over the weekend, as nearly a dozen rivers overflowed. Staying injapan, a tsunami warning has been issued for residents of izu and 0gasawara islands after an earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 5. 6 occurred in the pacific ocean near torishima island. We'll keep an eye on the situation there and bring you updates when they come in to us. North korea have won the fifa under—20 women's world cup, beating japan 1—0 in the final.

A space capsule carrying two russian cosmonauts and an american astronaut has returned safely to earth from the international space station, in what was a record—breaking mission. The cosmonauts touched down in kazakhstan after 374 days, the longest single stay on the iss. 60—year—old 0leg kononenko also set a new record for the longest cumulative time any person has spent in space — 1,111 days — across five trips. We are back with business today. Hello. We have seen a lot of extreme rainfall over the last couple of days. Woburn in bedfordshire had 102mm of rain recorded on sunday. But on monday, it was really 0xfordshire's turn to see some absolutely horrendous conditions, widespread flooding and some severe disruption. In south newington in 0xfordshire, we recorded about 98mm through the day — that's about a month and a half's worth of rain. And you can see the rain on the radar picture here. It is gradually easing, and over the next few hours, it will tend to become a lot lighter, a lot patchier, before becoming confined to east anglia and south—east england. So it is an improving — very gradually — kind of weather situation. Bit of rain coming into the far north of scotland. That's a cold front that will be bringing some colder air with it, but these are the kind of temperatures you'll have as you start off your tuesday morning. Tuesday, still some dribs and drabs of rain left over for east anglia and south—east england, but clearing away quite quickly. This area of more substantial rain moves southwards across scotland through the day — that's our cold front. Much colder air spreading to the far north of scotland, where there will be a few afternoon showers. Temperatures just around 10 degrees in aberdeen. 10 as well for stornoway. Further southwards, we're around 1a to 18 celsius. Now, the middle part of the week sees an area of low pressure move in off the atlantic, bringing more heavy rain, particularly targeted on england and wales. 0nce that's cleared through, well, then we start to get some colder air moving right the way across the country. And so for wednesday, it's kind of a day where we will see rain developing from the west, so turning wet across wales, southern and western areas of england through the day. Probably a fair amount of dry weatherfurther northwards with some sunshine, a few showers in the forecast for northern areas of scotland, but it will continue to get colder across those northern areas. And then as we head into wednesday night and thursday, the rain continues to drive its way northwards and eastwards, covering most parts of england and wales with some heavy downpours. The colder air continues to flow in across scotland and northern ireland. So temperatures in belfast, 12. 13 for edinburgh — average at this time of year is 17 degrees, so we're quite a long way below average. And that colder air is going to move its way southwards across all parts of the country before the end of the week. The united states proposes a ban on chinese and russian technology on american roads. Plus, we speak to a victim of the largest it outage in history, ahead of a crowdstrike hearing in the us. Hello and welcome to business today. I'm steve lai. Let's begin in the united states, where the biden administration has proposed a ban on chinese and russian hardware and software in connected vehicles in america. The rule will apply to nearly all newer cars and trucks, which have the ability to connect to wi—fi, bluetooth or satellite systems. It will mark a significant escalation in us restrictions on chinese vehicles, software and components. The bbc�*s ritika gupta has more from new york. Modern—day cars are increasingly computers on wheels, collecting data through sensors and cameras, and the us government has concluded they can't be trusted. Back in february, president biden ordered an investigation into whether chinese vehicles posed a national security risk, resulting in the proposed ban. If enacted, it would focus on tech that connects vehicles to the outside world, such as bluetooth, as well as driverless systems.
