Israel is continuing its battering of hezbollah, these explosions Last Night in the suburbs of Beirut Close to the Countrys Airport thought to have been targeting the next leader of the group. Nothing has been said by Israel And Iran today providing much hope of anything beyond more destruction. Caroline hawley, Bbc News. Israels Air Campaign against iran backed hezbollah fighters in lebanon appears to be widening, with heavy strikes close to the main airport in beirut overnight. In a moment, well speak to Nick Beake in northern israel. But first, our Middle East correspondent, huGo bachega, is in the lebanese city of tripoli. HuGo, reports that these strikes are targeted, but everyone there is braced. Yes, the air overnight were very powerful, heard across the city, and it is believed the target of the strikes was the man believed to be the next hezbollah leader, hashem safieddine. He was believed to be in an underground bunker, his fate is still unclear, but i think it shows the israeli campaign against hezbollah is likely to be long, hezbollah is likely to be long, hezbollah wants to weaken hezbollah, just to its present and future. Israeli Air Strikes have continued across the country and an israeli attack cut off the main road leading to the main Crossing Point between lebanon and syria, the Israeli Military said it was targeting an underground tunnel being used by hezbollah to transfer weapons from syria. In the south, the main hospital in a town has been evacuated after an israeli air nearby. As the conflict continues, the crisis created by more than 1 Million people who have been displaced is worsening, people have come to places like tripoli here in the north and the Un Assaying shelters across lebanon are full and a rising number of people are sleeping in the street and in public squares the un are saying. Our correspondent Nick Beake is in northern israel. Nick, whats the situation there . Overnight we had a constant stream of Israeli Fighterjets overhead and it has continued today, also helicopters as well. We know there are more israeli troops heading for the border with lebanon. That is just over the hills behind us. The israeli army says it is carrying out what it describes as targeted, limited operations, but there is clearly a very big consequence and impact on the civilian population in lebanon. South of here Last Night, there was another israeli Air Strike, actually on a Refugee Camp in the occupied west bank, the reports are 18 people were killed, including a mother and her two children. The footage in the aftermath of that shows a lot of destruction, people being taken to hospital. The israeli side they struck someone who they thought was an extremely senior and important Hamas Figure in that part of the west bank. The response from the spokesperson for the president of the authority there, palestinian authority, they described it as a heinous crime and a massacre. Thank ou ve heinous crime and a massacre. Thank you very much heinous crime and a massacre. Thank you very much indeed.

Police chiefs say theres been a huge increase in prosecutions for driving offences filmed by members of the public on dashcams, Bike Helmet cameras and Mobile Phones. In the west midlands, just one cyclist is responsible for several hundred drivers being investigated. Our midlands correspondent, phil mackie, reports. This is crazy. Yes, it is a Learner Motorcyclist tapping away on his phone while driving at speed. And who knows what this driver was thinking. Theres no reason to do what they did. This is dashcam footage from another car, and a cyclist wearing a Helmet Camera captured the moment he was nearly knocked off the road. Its typical of the dozens of clips being sent to West Midlands Police every day. One man in birmingham is responsible for a lot of the clips that are being sent in. We arent revealing tims full identity because in the past hes been the victim of trolling, but hes a Cyclist And Part time Cycling Instructor who always has his camera on and nearly always sees drivers failing to take proper care. I came back from a Bike Ride and ijust said, ive had enough. Theres Something Weve Got to do about it. And i had a camera that i used to use when i went off road, and ijust decided to carry that. And then they introduced a portal at the police to report. The material is sent here to the appropriately named Operation Snap, where officers decide what happens next. Every day we come in, theres new submissions and then the public Goes on to the Operation Snap website, uploads the footage. I then view it or my colleagues view it. Any offence on the road, we will deal with it and we have some appalling driving, some serious offences committed on the roads. Whats the worst youve seen . Worst thing is overtaking on pedestrian crossings when theres people crossing. And once theres been a U Turn on the, um on the motorway. You can see youve Got flowers on a Lamp Post there, which would suggest at some point its Gone wrong for someone here. The battle against Dangerous Driving is being fought in more traditional ways too. That means more officers on patrol and also stopping drivers who are doing what they shouldnt be. Within minutes ofjoining pc rich adams, we saw this. Ijust spotted a driver in a white van with a Mobile Phone as hes driving, so were pulling him over. Turn your engine off for me, please. Hes apologetic. He knows he shouldnt be doing it, admitted to the offence. But it doesnt negate the fact that the offence has been committed. And back in north birmingham, tim is still Going out on his bike. So how many films have you sent in . Several hundred, i would think. And do you know how many of those have resulted in action taken against the driver. In the West Midlands Police . All of them. Tim reckons that as more drivers have become aware that they might be caught on camera, the roads have begun to get a little bit safer. In the meantime, there are more cameras and so the number of videos sent to the police is still Going up. The Government has announced an investment of nearly 22 billion to capture and store Carbon Emissions from energy production. The money will be spent in Teesside And North west england. Our climate editor, justin rowlatt, is in cheshire. Justin, what did we hear today . There has been a lot of rousing rhetoric about reigniting an Industrial Revolution in the north. This is what national Renewal Inaction looks like is what the Prime Minister said. The Government is presenting this as a win win, boosting the economy, Ring Investment and skilled jobs to places like cheshire, and also helping the uk tackle climate change by reducing emissions, but not everybody is as enthusiastic about Carbon Capture and storage as the Government. The Government brought out the big guns today, a top level political trifecta of the Prime Minister, the chancellor of the exchequer and the energy secretary. It is evidence of how important the Government thinks this announcement is. Carbon capture is a race that we can win. The Uk Continental Shelf holds a third of the exploitable Carbon Storage Space in all of europe. Just think about that. Our geology, a third of everything that we have in europe. Huge potential for our country, for the jobs of the future. He chose to announce the investment in a glass factory, the kind of Hard To Decarbonise industry that the Government hopes will benefit from this new technology. Carbon Capture And Storage does pretty much what it says on the tin the co2 produced by Industry Or Fossil fuels is captured and then pumped out to be permanently stored underground in depleted Oil And Gas wells. The 21. 7 billion investment announced today will be in a cluster of projects here in the north west, of projects here in the north west, and another around teesside and another around teesside on the north east coast. On the north east coast. It has been welcomed it has been welcomed in these communities, but there is a more muted response with an aggressive form of cancer in these communities, from environmental groups. They fear Carbon Capture could just they fear Carbon Capture could just be used to extend the Life Span be used to extend the Life Span of the Fossil Fuel industries. Of the Fossil Fuel industries.

Just six months after starting her own Cancer Treatment, the princess of wales met 17 year old liz, diagnosed with terminal cancer this year. This meeting, though, was all about their shared love of photography, with the teenager getting the chance to take photos of a medal ceremony. We didnt discuss anything in terms of their hard experiences or mine, but there was definitely a level of empathy there on both parts, id say, because obviously you understand better once youve Gone through something. The palace Got in touch when Prince William heard about liz through his patronage of London Air ambulance charity. We spoke to them for a Good Half Hour or so, and it was just amazing because they were so, so lovely and welcoming, really. The feeling was clearly mutual.

Sir ben ainslies Ineos Britannia Team are taking on italy for the chance to face New Zealand in the final. Our sports editor, dan roan, sent this report from barcelona, where the race has just begun. Could this be the moment british sailing has waited 60 years for .

Bankrolled by billionaire sirjim ratcliffe, Ineos Britannia are now tantalisingly close to sealing this pivotal challenger series. Having built a 6 4 lead over their italian rivals here in barcelona earlier this week, they now need just one win to claim the Louis Vuitton Cup and clinch a place in the sports flagship event. It is the oldest international Sporting Trophy. Its the only international Sporting Trophy that britain has never won, despite it actually being invented or starting around the Isle Of Wight in 1851. So thats why its so important to us. Thats our motivation really, to Go out and get the job done and win it. I think it could be a massive moment for british sport. Having lost at this stage in 2021, Ineos Britannia collaborated with Mercedes Formula one team to draw on their technical expertise and ainslie, a four time olympic champion, says its proved crucial. Americas cup is effectively Formula One on water. Its a development game. Its a technical game capped off by a sailing race. So its really about the technology and its been an incredible partnership. Its only when youre this close that you get a true sense of the sheer scale of this Racing Boat 26m high, 20m long and capable of speeds of around 60 miles an hour. Meanwhile, these Giant Foil Wings enable this six Tonne Vessel to effectively fly above the water, providing one of sports greatest spectacles. The british Team Set Off Today On The Verge of being confirmed as official challengers to holders New Zealand when the 37th Americas Cup starts here next weekend. But in a series that has featured the tightest of racing, nothing can be taken for granted. This is the 23rd time that britain has tried to win the Americas Cup since 1851. Will it be the one that british sailing has been waiting for . We have to wait and see. In the last few minutes, today possible preferred of two scheduled races began here and its around half way through, it lost around 25 minutes, and the Good news for Ineos Britannia is that they have the advantage, around a 100 Metre Lead over their italian opponents. Its been very tight all this week and so very evenly matched. It could be changed and nothing can be taken for granted. The conditions are different today to drop their worth as of low winds, very high winds earlier in the week and big waves but thats changed. Ben ainslies team, if they can maintain that advantage, they will be through to the Americas Cup final, which gets under way here next weekend, and british sailing could have a defining moment. It will be decided in the next ten minutes or so. Hosted Byjim Bowen and famed for its quirky prizes, bullseye was staple Sunday Afternoon viewing during the 1980s and 90s.

Mps and consumer groups are warning that badly installed insulation is leaving the most vulnerable people at risk. Millions of homes have been fitted with Goverment funded insulation in recent years, but poor workmanship is leading to damp and mould in many cases, as our correspondent Zoe Conway reports. Im removing this Mushroomy Stuff thats grown on my mums wall. Every few days, Lukman Ashraf picks mushrooms off the walls. Looks disgusting. Weve Got mould, as well. The wallpaper s damp. So this is just one small element of this problem. Its around the whole house. He says the damp took over soon after external Wall Insulation was fitted nearly two years aGo. The house belongs to his mother, tormooja khatun. She is 84 years old, and recently had two strokes. But she liked to sort of live her last few years in this house. And to live in comfort. Yeah. And without stress. Absolutely. Lukmans parents left bangladesh for britain more than 40 years aGo. His father, mohammed, worked in the Vauxhall Car plant. They bought their home in 1990. Dad worked very hard in vauxhall, so, you know, something theyre passionate about having their own house. And. You know, seeing it Go downhill because someones done a really, really bad job its just really, really shocking. More than 3,000 homes in Luton Have had external Wall Insulation fitted. It involves Fixing Insulation Boards to the outside brickwork of a house. Render is then applied to make it waterproof. See, this is virtually flat. Building Surveyor David Walter is inspecting mrs Khatuns House. This sill should have been at an angle to throw the water off the building. What do you make of the quality of the workmanship . Its appalling. Its just obviously been done by people who dont understand the basic principles of weatherproofing a building. Water is very unforgiving it will find a way in. The structure becomes saturated. The sad thing is, i see it time and time again, up and down the country. Back inside, the consequences are clear to see. And here, fixed to the wall is the mycelium of the dry Rot Fungus. These strands actually grow and they grow behind the plaster, they can grow through brickwork and they will actually move at up to the rate of one metre a month. Beneath the floorboards, growths of white dry Rot Fungus are feeding off this house. This is a classic Fruiting Body of dry rot, and thats growing out from the mycelium. The family has been warned it could cost more than 100,000 to repair their home. Its not clear who will pick up the bill. More than Three Million homes have had insulation fitted under the Governments Energy Efficiency schemes, which are targeted to help low income households. Funded by the Energy Companies, the cost is passed on to consumers through their energy bills. The bbc revealed earlier this year that figures compiled by the Regulator Ofgem suggest that hundreds of thousands of Uk Homes could have insulation that wasnt installed to the required standard. Over 50 of the properties in this road have now had i external insulation, and id say 50 of that Lot Havent been done correctly. It is a time bomb waiting to Go off, and we as a council will end up picking up the pieces because the Energy Companies and the Government Cant get their act together. Trustmark is the only Government endorsed quality scheme. For the last five years, trustmark has been responsible for ensuring the quality of work carried out under Government green energy schemes. But is it really working . The company that insulated mrs Khatuns House Saviour Energy solutions is trustmark registered. Imran hussain is one of a growing number of mps concerned about how botched insulation is ruining their constituents homes. The Governments Got to find out the depth of the problem and we cannot see heartbreaking, horrific stories like mrs khatuns you know, that is just shocking. You know, the tragedy is theres many more households that are impacted in the same way. Thats not a problem thats impacting luton alone. In my own constituency, weve had very similar situations. In a statement, trustmark ceo Simon Ayers said. Under the disputes process, the family is supposed to let saviour carry out the repairs, but they dont trust the company to do the work. Saviour energy solutions said in a statement. She doesnt sleep anyway due to ill health, but this has added On Top of this at all. She does worry a lot. The family fears what another winter will do to their home. Hello and welcome to sportsday. Im hugh ferris. Our top stories this lunchtime. Fifas Transfer System under the microscope after a European Court ruling that one lawyer says could have far reaching consequences. Harry maguire steps up in the knick of time with a Goal that could save his managersjob as manchester uniteds chaotic season continues. Jannik sinner says hes confident, but not comfortable about the appeal that could overturn a decision to clear him for doping offences. Hello again. The highest court in the European Union has said that Fifa Rules which Govern the way some Football Transfers work break the eus laws in a ruling that could have a big effect on future deals. Its after a long running legal battle between former Chelsea And Arsenal Midfielder Lassana Diarra and fifa that has been won by the retired player whose lawyer says the whole Transfer System has changed with the ruling. Diarras legal team successfully argued that fifas current system contravenes Eu Laws regarding freedom of movement of players and competition between clubs. Footballs world Governing body had refused to provide diarra with an international Transfer Certificate for a proposed move to belgian Club Charleroi in 2015. Fifa says the decision only puts into question two paragraphs of their rules. While this is the response from those representing players, like global union fifpro, who say the ruling on the regulatoin of the Labour Market in football will change the landscape of professoinal football. The pfa have said the Courts Decision could have potentially far reaching ramifications for the rights of players and that it demonstrates that football cannot behave like it doesnt have to work within the same Employment Laws that apply to any other industry. I think the players and the Players Union will be delighted. It does mean that players will not be forced to stay at a club. Even if there are complicated circumstances. It also means that if a player is sacked, he or she will be able to move to another club without a Transfer Fee being paid by that the ceiling club, which means that its easier for players to move. Manchester uniteds season is fast developing into something of a Sporting Soap Opera with each match appearing to add to the drama surrounding erik ten Hags Future at The Club. The latest in portugal as Harry Maguire scored a late Goal that might have helped save his managersjob. United drew 3 all at porto in the Europa League on thursday with ten Hags Side rescuing a draw after being 2 nil up after just 20 minutes. Less than quarter of an hour later though it was 2 all, with samu omorodion, who Nearlyjoined Chelsea in the summer, getting the first of his two Goals. The second Put Porto ahead early in the second half, but even after Bruno Fernandes was sent off to reduce united to ten men, substitute Harry Maguire provided the crucial injury time equaliser. Despite gaining a point, thats only three wins out of ten matches so far this season for a team that is continuing to concede Goals and blow leads. Its mixed feelings, yes. And when you are winning again, we know this is a very tough place to Go. When you then start so well, and the players execute the plan, i would say brilliantly, we scored two great Goals, and then switching off. And we dont keep so much possession as before. Defending, we are switching off. We concede a first Goal. Totally unnecessary. And then, you know, you light up the fire in this stadium, in this ambience, and then it becomes real tough. This team is capable of winning it but they have to do it consistent. And they have to do it all consistent. And when one, two, three players are switching off, then its a problem. And that is what we have to solve. And we just start the season, so we have time to solve this issue, but it has to Go quickly. We cant wait so long. Players have to take their responsibility. Elsewhere it was a historic but tough night for larne and the new saints, who have ensured the Northern Irish and welsh leagues respectively are represented in the main draw of a euorpean competition for the first time. Joe lynskey reports. For the new saints, this was their march into a miracle. A Football Match between the former champions of italy and a tiny club from oswestry. The first Welsh Premier League team to get to the Group Stage and yet, at half time, remarkably, they were level. Quite the feat for a club who get around 300 fans at home games. Fiorentina had to push for 65 minutes. That is the tns. Resistance is broken. They won this match 2 0, but tns will always have their Fairy Tale in florence. We came into it blind. We came into it with no experience whatsoever at this level, and i think the players and the staff and the Football Club have proved, like i said, you know, we can play at this level. We deserve to be this level. Weve obviously Got five more games, games that, on paper, you would say are winnable. Certainly not fiorentina away. This is not the champions league. Its europes third biggest competition, but for larne of northern ireland, the faces showed how much it meant. The first irish Premiership Team to get here faced molde of norway. Into the top of the net. They lost 3 0, but for larne, like the new saints, the breakthrough was just to be here. Joe lynskey, Bbc News. One other line of Football News for you this lunchtime.

Jayne mccubbin, Bbc News. Well done to them. A Pub Landlord has introduced a surcharge for diners who leave too much uneaten food in a bid to stop people overloading their plates at the All You Can Eat carvery. The policy is proving controversial, as Tamsin Melville reports. Food waste became a real headache for Landlord Mark Graham in the years after the pandemic. At his sunday carvery, he serves the meat and then customers can return as many times as they like to load up again on all the rest. I glance down and theyve Got a pile on there that you would put a ladder up the side and a flag On Top. Itsjust huge. Its just stupidly excessive. And then its like two meals on one plate. So they brought in a policy about a year aGo. And the signs spell it out. Only take what you can eat or you could be charged a bit more. Mark says most do take sensible portions, but some dont. People come in, take a plate, eat it, come and load the plate for a second time, take it, and then eitherjust Leave It and waste it, or try and take it home. Its an All You Can Eat buffet. Not all you can carry buffet. At the weekend, the team here found themselves imposing the charge for excessive waste for the first ever time. A customer was charged 2. 40 On Top of the original 12 per plate after theyd confirmed there was nothing wrong with the meal. All of us, the waiting staff, the chefs, me, the landlady, my wife, we all looked at it and Go, thats ridiculous. The customer took to Social Media and its kicked off a debate. You can Go back as many times as you like. Its just the amount thats left. Yeah. So do you think you can justify an extra charge . I think a small charge would make people eat more responsibly. They buy it in mass anyway. So, you know, they obviously Got they obviously calculate the percentage of it is Going to Go to waste anyway. Do you think its fair enough that the pub then puts an extra charge on you . Ive never been in that position because i never eat that much. But yeah, but yeah, i would say thats probably fair enough. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Eyes too big for their belly, you say . Well, no, because they would have taken that into consideration before they set up an All You Can Eat carvery. At the star inn. Mark says of course, leaving a few spuds is one thing, but they have to draw the line somewhere. I cant express enough. Its only on All You Can Eat. Ijust want people to be sensible and its all fine margins in business these days. So the wastage, we want to keep down to the smallest amount possible. Tamsin melville, Bbc News.
