Our diplomatic correspondent James Landale reports from New York. Theres no ceasefire in beirut. This was the aftermath of yet another Air Strike in the lebanese capital. Israel says it is targeting hezbollah commanders. These were their images of the attack. One that had devastating consequences.

THe Trouble is that israels Prime Minister seems on suede he has arrived in New York before addressing you in Today Stop he hasnt explicitly ruled out of ceasefire but many of his ministers have Stop Translation my policy, our policy is clear we are continuing to strike hezbollah full force and it will not stop until we all our Goals Chief among them, the return of the residents of the north to their homes securely. American diplomats warned that all out war will not make northern israel safer but a negotiated settlement would. This argument seems now to be falling on deaf ears. Diplomats here were initially optimistic about the possibility of a Ceasefire But Thatis possibility of a ceasefire but that is adding fast. They fear that is adding fast. They fear that Mr Netanyahu will bow to domestic pressure rather than international Pressure Stop once said to me we are inching towards the brink, not from it. Benjamin netanyahu was not given a universally warm welcome your. Protesters called for an end to the fighting both in lab and on and hours of, a sentiment he may find echoed in the un Assembly Chamber later today. Also speaking at the un General Assembly in New York, lebanons foreign Minister Renewed Calls for a ceasefire between Israel And Hezbollah and warned about the risks of the conflict escalating further. Mr president , lebanon is currently enduring the prices which is threatening its very and our prosperity are imperilled. This is a situation that requires international intervention on an urgent basis for the Situation Spirals out of control with a domino effect. With me is Mohamed Taha from bbc arabic. Whats your analysis of progress towards a ceasefire . israeljustifying its strikes in same way it has in as we can see, there is international pressure on both parties to call for a ceasefire and to stop fighting from the uk, from the us, from france. A big international initiative, however we can see the israeli Prime Minister benjamin netanyahu, once He T New York, said that he is the one who ordered the killing of the hezbollah leader and he ordered the army to go with the full force in the fighting with hezbollah. Also we can see the firing of that missile from yemen to Tel Aviv stops are both parties are really keen for this fighting to continue. As below wants to continue fighting until a solution in Gazais Fighting until a solution in gaza is reached, and israel wants to eliminate the capabilities of hezbollah in between these two desires there are 88 people who died in Leven On and 31 died in gaza in the last few hours. Last few hours. Israel is justifying last few hours. Israel is justifying its last few hours. Israel is justifying its strikes last few hours. Israel is justifying its strikes on | last few hours. Israel is justifying its strikes on Leven On, on civilian areas of Leven On, on civilian areas of Leven On, in the same weight is justified strikes in gaza, suggesting that as below, like us, lies amongst civilians, using them as human shields. What is your read on the veracity of that . Hezbollah according veracity of that . Hezbollah according to veracity of that . Hezbollah according to some veracity of that . Hezbollah l according to some american estimations are 100,000 fighters. These 100 Thousand fighters. These 100 Thousand fighters are lebanese citizens, they are not mercenaries or something. They have families, they have extended families as well. They live amongst them, so we can see that israel managed to kill as below leaders clinically. They managed to kill several of them. They managed to reach them, they know where they are, they can reach them, but also it is not a secret that one of the israeli army targets that they want to create a Buffer Zonein they want to create a Buffer Zone in southern Leven On that is free of maybe any inhabitants exactly as they did inhabitants exactly as they did in northern gaza. That means sometimes we have to do that massive shelling that leaves many women and children dead as we can see in Southern Lebanon on and in other schools recently.

Thank you forjOining Us with that analysis. Lets us with that analysis. Lets get some more analysis now on the diplomatic end of this. Arman mahmoudian, Research Fellow of The Middle East at the global and national Security Institute at the university of south florida. Thank you. The White House has said that its call for a ceasefire was co ordinated with israel; even though israels prime Minister Netanyahu subsequently dismissed it. What does that say about the State Of Play . The relations, the influence that the us has over israel . I believe the meaning of it is that it does not have the capability to influence the israeli Prime Minister or the Political Spectrum because the issueis Political Spectrum because the issue is not only the Prime Minister wanting or not wanting it, but yet also keep in mind coalitions are very unique coalition. The Prime Minister and national Security Minister said if there would be a ceasefire with hezbollah he might withdraw from the cabinet which can lay the ground for the collapse in the problem that Mr Netanyahu has in the united states has is that the war with hezbollah is not as unpopular as the war in gaza for the israeli public. Polls are suggesting that as well because hezbollah lacks the strategy of leverage that hummus has which is hostages and we want to look at the situation only from the military Point Of View. Right now israel has a window, a very good opportunity to Hit Hezbollah very badly, because the elimination of the high command is kind of drop disrupted the Command Centre of hezbollah and Co Ordination on a very low corridor. The variety of these reasons makes a ceasefire quite difficult. Obviously there are politics at play, within netanyahus own government. Also what extent the looming us president ial election also has over the us � s ability to influence the president of the Prime Minister � s willingness to defy because coming out of washington. I think there is a great deal of influence because from the israeli Point Of View if they want to stop the war with hezbollah right now is the best time for them to stop the war because if they stop the war prior to the new president taking over, the new president traditionally speaking would have a very hard time stopping the war. In a way, i dont want to say play along, but if they postpone this, i think anticipating mrs harris wins the election, this is going to be very hard for israel to pressure or pursue a more aggressive plan against hezbollah and that is one of the dilemmas that prime Minister Netanyahu is dealing with. ~ Minister Netanyahu is dealing with. , ~ , Minister Netanyahu is dealing with. , ~ ,.

Thank you very much for jOining Us President Zelensky has outlined his plans for victory against russia in a Meeting Withjoe Biden at the White House. Mr biden said Russia Wouldnt prevail, and pledged more military aid. The ukrainian leader then met the us Vice President and democratic president ial nominee kamala harris, who insisted it was vital to stand up to the russian leader. Jessica parker reports. Arriving at the White House, President Zelensky has come carrying a plan, a plea, designed to boost ukraine on the battlefield. I raised with the president biden the plan of victory. Today we are preparing to discuss the details. But hes counting on an ally whos gotjust a few months left in office. Let me be clear, russia will not prevail in war. A key ukrainian request, it wants permission to use western made long range missiles on military targets inside russia. An idea that angers moscow, as it unleashed another shattering drone attack on kyiv. The Air Raid sirens have been pretty relentless overnight into today. With all thats going on, some will wonder whether President Putin is trying to send a warning, a message. If he is, for people here, they feel its a Message Theyve heard many times before. Translation a fragment flew into our window breaking the glass. Fortunately, miraculously, it didnt hurt my child. President zelensky is in the us. How crucial is western support for ukraine . Translation we need help from other countries, absolutely. Otherwise we will not win. We will have to improve our own military industry. Ukrainians are waiting. Notjust forjoe Bidens Decision but the us election, as republican Candidate Donald Trump has repeatedly indicated he could cut aid to kyiv. Theres something bizarre about knowing that so much about the future of your country and your nation, your own safety depends on the results of a vote that will happen, you know, all the way across the ocean. So many times people here have had to clean up and hope things will look better soon, even if much feels beyond their control. Lets speak to matthew schmidt, associate professor at the national security department, at the university of new haven, whos an expert in Defence And Intelligence including over ukraine. Hows this visit gone for zelensky . I think tHe Trip is going as well as he can expected to go. Its a difficult and touchy time because of the american elections, but he has navigated tHe Trip well so far and he is going to be able to get that 8 Billion in aid moving out of the united states fairly quickly.

I think we are really in a position where the us is deciding what to do after that. In other words, he secured what he needs to get ukraine through until early summer, july of next year. The problem is what happens not in six months but what happens in month seven or month eight . Where is that aid going to come from . Is the ukrainian woman said, before, this is a thing that ukrainian president doesnt have control over. He is a more leader who does not control over War Production which puts him in a very difficult situation. Zelensky is also due to meet former president and potential next President Trump later today, despite Donald Trump � s initial reluctance to do so. What are you looking at what you expect from that meeting . I think that President Zielinski has to use his expertise and diplomacy. He has to use a sense of humour, he has to lead into former President Trump � s need for having his Ego Stroked and he needs to sort of hedge or ukraine that if poor, President Trump becomes the new president , there is a rationale, Trump Rationale to continue to support ukraine. Continuing to support ukraine will make him look good and provide trump what is promised to the country. Is got thread that needle. That needle. What is your analysis that needle. What is your analysis as that needle. What is your analysis as to that needle. What is your analysis as to where that needle. What is your analysis as to where sympathies to or ukraine are right now . We remember that moment in the president ial debate where Donald Trump refused to say he wanted ukraine to win. Are there republicans out there who are they pleased . Rather republicans were alienate stop in general the american people are on the side of ukraine. They want ukraine to win the war stop the problem is they also want to be able to afford their groceries, and that they see that there is a tension or they think there is tension between them. I do not think that there is, but that is becoming an issue in the campaign and on the republican side they basically pushing that argument to say if the dollar goes to ukraine, it is 1 less than goes to you or could feed your Family Gas in your car. And that is the way they are constructing it. The other thing, that international viewers have to remember is that we dont have a national campaign. We have a campaign in the State Of Pennsylvania, a different campaign in the state of california so what happens in the State Of Pennsylvania with 7 Million american voters identifies polish and you alien matters to affect the ultimate decision of who ends up in the White House and that is a lot of what is going on in this visit as well.

The month of september can often be quite a turbulent one. THe Transition from summer into autumn and the final full week of september has been just that. Look at thursdays rain. A lot of Heavy Rain Drifting Out of Northern England and northern ireland. This darker blue here, a line of torrential thundery showers with some hail in there as well. Already still with days to spare, woburn in bedfordshire has had its wettest september on record, but its also had its wettest month ever on record, and weve got an Amber Weather Warning which will remain in force for the next few hours. And so we are just going to continue to add to those rainfall totals. So a line of heavy rain will move its way south out of the midlands, Down Into Southern England and south east england. Behind it, the Wind Direction Swinging around to a northerly. A few scattered showers with elevation could turn a little wintry as well, as it turns colder from the north, so this Weather Front slowly eases away during the day this friday and then behind it, that colder air starts to tuck in. A real noticeable difference to the feel of our weather story. So yes, it will be a wet start across east anglia, south east england. For a time that Rain Clearing perhaps away from the Kent Coast by lunchtime and then quite an improvement, actually. Some sunshine coming through. A few scattered showers, but a brisk northerly wind making it feel quite cool out there. Eight to 1a degrees below par for this stage of the month. Now, as we move out of friday into the weekend, we start with this ridge of high pressure. A quiet start to the weekend, but theres more wet weather to come as we move into sunday. But with that high pressure, well, that means we could have quite a chilly start first thing on saturday morning. Temperatures and sheltered glens of Scotland And Northeast england down below freezing, so a frost is not out of the question here. We will continue to see the Wind Direction Swinging around to more of a North Westerly that will drive in showers on saturday across exposed west coast, and one or two running down through the Cheshire Gap as well. Top temperatures on sunday at around 15 degrees, the best of the sunshine in sheltered southern and eastern areas. Then, as we move out of saturday into sunday, heres that rain. And it means an unsettled start into next week slowly improving. Stepping up tHe Trade war. Steep us tariffs come into force, on a range of chinese goods. But could there be more to come if trump wins the election . Also coming up, attack of the ai clones. Is that person on your Video Call really who you think it is . Companies are warned about a rise in so called ceo fraud. Plus, disco downturn. Three nightclubs a week are closing down here in the, so why are promoters being forced to pull the plug . Live from london this is business today. We start in the us where trade tensions with china are being ramped up this friday as Import Taxes or tariffs on a range of chinese made goods are going up sharply. Thats despite a last Minute Appeal on thursday by the Commerce Ministry in beijing for washington to reconsider. China is desperate to dig its economy out of a slump its facing a collapse in its real Estate Market and plunging consumer confidence. In the last few hours it has cut the cost of borrowing and pumped money into the banking system. And as the bbc� s Michelle Fleury reports,
