Israel says a number of missiles were also fired into its territory from iraq. Speaking at the Labour Party conference, the foreign Secretary David Lammy called for a De Escalation between Israel And Hezbollah. Between Israel And Hezbollah.

That is the live shot from the Election Commission in colombo where we have heard that left Wing Election CandidateAnura Kumara Dissanayake has won the election debate. Lets return to our coverage of events in the middle east. Lebanon says three people have been killed during intensified exchanges of Order-fire'>Cross BOrder Fire between Israel And Hezbollah. In Northern Israel, thousands of people sought shelter now, we are in a very critical situation. And i think the recent escalation of this operation, whether along the Order'>Southern BOrder or through deep strikes inside lebanon or inside the occupied territories, following, of course, the bombing of Hezbollah Communication Infrastructure has reached a critical point, further heightened by bold israeli attacks that have eliminated key military commanders. The situation now appears to have passed the point of no return. I think the diplomacy is no longer a viable option now. Western and arab diplomats had warned about, its now a reality. We are entering a confrontation that could expand over the coming weeks or the coming months. So and now, focusing solely on the military dimension and believing that stability can be restored to lebanon thousand bOrders through a ceasefire is unrealistic. The Order'>Southern BOrder is part of a broader regional landscape that stretches from tehran to the red sea. Gaza and syria. This situation is tied to the strategic concern of the united states, particularly its long Standing Commitment to israels security, as well as its effort to reassert control over the middle east. The key issues at stake include the security of waterways, Oil And Gas reserves, and countering china economic expansion in the region. This broader geopolitical factors actors are the real drivers between the opening conflict, a ceasefire, whether In Gaza or in southern lebanon, will not be enough to resolve it. Yonahjeremy bob is an author and senior Military Correspondent for the jerusalem post. Earlier, he shared his observations on how people have reacted to the latest strikes. I want to separate things into the Gaza Front and the Hezbollah Lebanon Front and the Gaza Front. A large amount of the country, i would say even a majority, are upset that the government of prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has not already cut a Cease Fire Deal with hamas to return at least 18 or 30 out of about 50 hostages that are still alive, in Order to have at least a temporary ceasefire with hamas to get those people back, to give the country basically a break. Hezbollah is different because theres 60,000 israelis that have not been able to live in their homes since october. Remember, hezbollah, just unprovoked, attacked israel on october 8th. And israel has basically said, if you stop shooting at us, well stop shooting at you. We havent invaded, israel has not invaded lebanese territory to date. So i think the entire population is with the government on lebanon because they see, you know, hezbollah doesnt have hostages. Theres no reason that hezbollah should be shooting. Whatever needs to be done to hezbollah needs to be done in Order to get them to stop shooting. And the government supports the. Im sorry, the people support the government on that with hamas. The country is very split. The situation that wiest was touched upon in liverpool. In the last hour, weve heard from foreign Secretary David Lammy, who declared britain was back on the world stage.

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 . Brandenburg has been ruled by the social democrats, The Party of olf schultz, since reunification in 1990, as our Correspondent Mark Lowen told me. So if that party loses brandenburg, it would be a major setback for The Party and a major setback also for olaf schulz, who lives in the state and is hoping to lead the spd into germanys federal elections next year, but is, according to polls, the least popular chancellor since german reunification. So if the spd were to lose, to come second to the afd, there would be even deeper questions over his ability to lead The Party into those elections next year. But also just consider germanys history. 20th Century history. I mean, were talking about a country that, of course, lived through the the nazis and the second World War and is now seeing this far right party, which is classified in some states as right wing extremist, topping the polls in regional elections. When they won in thuringia earlier this month, it was seen as a political earthquake, the biggest electoral victory for the far right since the second World War. If it wins in brandenburg, that would show the strength of that party natio
