We start in the middle east, where israel says hezbollah has fired over 100 missiles into the north of the country, following extensive israeli Air Strikes in lebanon on saturday. The rockets targeted the city of haifa, nearly 30km from the border with lebanon, and the Ramat David Airbase further south. Israel has told its citizens to restrict gatherings in the city, and in areas near the northern border, in anticipation of a fresh aerial assault. These pictures show part of an intercepted rocket that was launched from lebanon that fell near nazareth in the early hours of sunday. That fell near Nazareth Israel has been carrying out more Air Raids in Southern Lebanon. Here you can see explosions lighting up the nights sky. Saturday saw constant strikes and counter strikes between the idf and hezbollah, which is designated a Terrorist Organisation by several western countries. Lebanons Health Ministry says 45 people, including women and children, were killed in fridays israeli attack on beirut. Hezbollah says that includes 16 of its members. These are live pictures from haifa where hezbollah has targeted its attacks. In a statement, the iranian backed Militia Group said it was in response to the Pager And Walkie talkie blasts earlier this week. Our middle East Correspondent is in Beirut And Paul adams is injerusalem and they talked me through the developments. Hugo started by addressing Restrictions Israel has put in place. Restrictions israel has put in lace. , Restrictions Israel has put in lace. ,. , place. These have been announced place. These have been announced by place. These have been announced by the place. These have been| announced by the israeli authorities in northern israel because of the rockets that have been fired by hezbollah from Southern Lebanon and we see it has been a violent morning of violence across the israel lebanon border. Hezbollah said it carried out an initial response after explosions targeting pagers and walkie talkies used by the group and one target was an israeli military Production Facility in the city of haifa. In response the israeli military has been carrying out a Number Ofair Military has been carrying out a number of Air Strikes targeting hezbollah positions in lebanon and the statement by the israeli military said the attacks would continue and intensify. The fear is we could be seeing a wider Israeli Offensive against hezbollah. We have seen there has been an escalation in the conflict between Hezbollah And Israel in the past days and hezbollah is defiant saying the attacks will continue unless there is ceasefire in gaza. The fear in lebanon is the country is being dragged into a conflict with israel that is not in the countrys interest, a conflict that could be devastating for lebanon. , , lebanon. There has been cross border lebanon. There has been Crossborder Fighting lebanon. There has been Crossborder Fighting for| lebanon. There has been L Crossborder Fighting for 11 Cross Border Fighting for 11 months. Can you put it into perspective given the events of this week. What is different about this moment . Hezbollah has been carrying about this moment . Hezbollah has been carrying out about this moment . Hezbollah has been carrying out Attacks L has been carrying out attacks saying it is supporting palestinians in gaza and it says the attacks will continue unless there is a ceasefire in gaza. All the efforts for a deal in Gaza Have failed so far, so that was the main hope to de escalate tensions along the border. What has changed is the border. What has changed is the israeli authorities have declared the return of residents displaced because of the violence is one of the Countrys War goals and they say they will change the situation in the north, that it is unacceptable and unsustainable, so there has been speculation the strategy by the israeli military could include a Ground Invasion of Southern Lebanon to try to create a so called Buffer Zone to try to push hezbollah fighters away. It has been a humiliating few days for hezbollah. Not only the explosions targeting Communication Systems but there was an israeli Air Strike in beirut On Friday and a residential building was destroyed. It hit a Hezbollah Stronghold so a major blow for the group because the entire command of hezbollah� s main Fighting Unit has been decimated in the Air Strike and a lot of civilians killed. This has sparked angry reaction here in lebanon. Again, the fear that we could be seeing an intensification between Hezbollah And Israel. Paul adams, HugoHezbollah And Israel.

Some rockets have hit further morning. Some rockets have hit further into israel than any previous further into israel than any previous salvos. The fact that the outskirts of haifa seem to have the outskirts of haifa seem to have been hit is indicative that have been hit is indicative that hezbollah is using some longer that hezbollah is using some longer range weapons, which raises longer range weapons, which raises the fear that hezbollah could raises the fear that hezbollah could start to unveil even longer could start to unveil even longer range weapons that could be capable of Hitting Targets in central israel, including tel aviv~ in central israel, including tel aviv.

Lets turn to germany, where voters in the east state of brandenburg are heading to the polls to elect a new regional government. The Anti Migrant, far right alternative for germany, also known as afd, could win the most votes in the former east german state. Earlier in the month, the afd won a major german election for the first time, coming first in the eastern state of thuringia. Latest polling In Brandenburg had the afd in the lead with 28 . 0ur Europe Correspondent tell me how significant these results could be. Me how significant these results could be. This is a state ruled results could be. This is a state ruled by results could be. This is a state ruled by the results could be. This is a state ruled by the social. State ruled by the Social Democratic Party since german reunification in 1990, so if that party loses brandenburg it will be a major setback for The Party and also 0laf Scholz who lives in the state and hopes to lead them into the federal elections next year. But according to polls, he is the least popular chancellor since reunification. If the spd came second to afd there would be deeper questions over his ability to lead The Party into those elections next year. Consider germanys history. We are talking about a country that lived through the nazis and the second World War and is now seeing a far right party classified in some states as right wing extremists, topping the polls in elections. When they won in thuringia. It was seen as a political earthquake, the biggest electoral victory for the far right since the second World War. If they win here it would be a major shock to germans who feel concerned about the far right Anti Migrant positions of that party, but it has capitalised on voter concerns about immigration,
