Not say when that phone call would take place. On sunday israel carried out largescale strikes on yemen targeting energy facilities help by houthi is. It targeted powerplants ina in a seaport. The houthirun health ministry said at least four people were killed and 33 wounded. Houthi is have vowed revenge and a response is inevitable. houthis. Our correspondent injerusalem, jon donnison, has more on the situation. Israel's military reach and power is long and strong. This is not lebanon, or gaza, but almost 2,000 kilometres away in yemen. The target one of the country's biggest ports and two power stations, controlled by iranianbacked houthis, the operation directed by israel's defence minister. Translation: we have no i interest in expanding the war. We have no interest in looking for additionalfronts. But if somebody attacks israel, as the houthis have recently done with missiles and throughout the war with cruise missiles and drones, anyone who carries out such an attack, we will settle the account with them, and we know how to do it. Israel is not holding back, its air force releasing footage as they set off for the raid. And earlier today, it says it shot down another drone launched from yemen. For the past year, the yemeni houthis have been trying to influence the conflict in the middle east. This is their commandos seizing a british owned ship in the red sea last november. They have longrange missiles, are supported by iran and are fiercely opposed to israel. Speaking yesterday, the houthis* military spokesperson yahya saree said they wouldn't stop until israel ended its aggression against gaza and lebanon. Today's strikes in yemen highlight another dangerous front in a war that threatens to engulf the region. Jon donnison, bbc news, jerusalem. The bbc news, jerusalem. Israel defence forces say they the israel defence forces say they have hit 120 military sites belonging to the around back militant group. Lebanese officials say more than i million people face being forced from their homes. Meanwhile the body of the late hezbollah leader hassan was hassan nasrallah is reported to have been recovered from the site of the strike in beirut. It is fuelling concerns about an all out war. Our senior correspondence reports from the beqaa valley and a warning dashed you may find some parts of her report distressing. Israel keeps hitting hard. For now, it looks unstoppable. This is the bekaa valley this afternoon. There were at least 30 air strikes in an hour. Danger in every direction. And new dead. Our neighbours, the jamil family, are all gone, he says. As more air strikes went down, noor lies in intensive care. She is six years old and was injured on her own doorstep on monday. Her family says she is intelligent and chatty, and loves meeting new people. But here, shortly before the attack, she was afraid and praying. Her mother now prays by her bedside. And suddenly, as we filmed, the planes were back. Well, within the last few seconds, we have had a strike. We heard the plane in the air. Then we felt the impact. The windows here shook, they rattled. And it's an indication of how nowhere here is safe. Even patients in hospitals can't feel completely safe. Minutes later, new wounded. An ambulance has just arrived now, bringing casualties from the latest air strike. They are being treated in the emergency department. There is a lot of anger and tension. People are stressed, wondering when this is going to stop. Back in intensive care, noor*s father abdullah wants the world to see his child. Was she fighting?, he asks. She was playing at home. Does she have weapons? half of her brain is gone. Noor was born after her parents had ten years of ivf. Herfather says he is not in hezbollah, but now wishes he was. Orla guerin, bbc news, in the beqaa valley. A white house spokesman warned israel against starting an allout war with hezbollah or run. He said it is unclear what the response might be. We are watchin: the response might be. We are watching this _ the response might be. We are watching this very _ the response might be. We are watching this very closely the response might be. We are watching this very closely to i watching this very closely to see how. . . If and how hezbollah and all around may react as well as the militia groups in iraq and syria. We have to be prepared for some sort of response. Have to make sure we are ready and we are, believe we have the force capability we needin we have the force capability we need in the region but it is not clear, too soon to know. For more let's bring in the director of the reinhart programme on counter intelligence and terrorism. Great to have you back in the programme. We are getting reports first of all in the last few hours of israeli strikes within beirut*s city limits. We believe that to be the first time in about a year. What might that mean? could that be seen as further escalation here? thanks for havin: escalation here? thanks for having me _ escalation here? thanks for having me on _ escalation here? thanks for having me on the _ escalation here? thanks for having me on the show. Escalation here? thanks for having me on the show. I i escalation here? thanks for. Having me on the show. I think the israelis have made it clear they will go after those people who are targeting their civilians and the reports i've seen so far only as well as they were targeting members of they were targeting members of the popular front for live this time palestine. It is beyond lebanon and others engaged in these activities as the story you had to educate. Insofar as the houthi is go it is quite clear. As soon as the who stop should it israel, as soon as hezbollah stops shooting at israel, these things can end but after 11. 5 months of suffering rocket attacks from hezbollah and others, the israelis are saying enough is enough. Israelis are saying enough is enou:h. ~. * israelis are saying enough is enou~h. ~. * ,. Israelis are saying enough is enou:h. . * ,. . enough. We haven't seen much of a military response _ enough. We haven't seen much of a military response from a military response from hezbollah. Do you expect a strong response or will the group be so weakened by losing 70 leaders there may not be a response? 70 leaders there may not be a response?_ response? inaudible to be a resonse response? inaudible to be a resnonse but _ response? inaudible to be a response but when _ response? inaudible to be a response but when you response? inaudible to be a response but when you say i response? inaudible to be a l response but when you say that there will be the next day. The hezbollah that exists now is a shadow of its former self. It is notjust hassan nasrallah and its top leadership and the leadership level is below that and below that it is also the israelis taking out a significant portion, how much is not exactly known but it seems a significant portion of hezbollah's more serious weaponry, longerand weaponry, longer and mediumrange rockets, weaponry, longerand mediumrange rockets, so it is not clear hezbollah has the capability. They shot five, ten, 15, 20 rockets at a time here and there but nothing more than that. If they do have rockets that they are able to fire, and they are probably wary of escalating much more because they understand they are nowhere near as capable today of fighting a prolonged, fullscale war as they were before and they have taken significant hits, they are leading this aimed at without a leader now, how to run the command and control would be difficult, so i think hezbollah is in a conundrum and at the moment it is more about than striking back. striking back. What would a week and striking back. What would a week and hezbollah striking back. What would a week and hezbollah mean i striking back. What would a l week and hezbollah mean for striking back. What would a week and hezbollah mean for the region? might that change the balance of power significantly? i think it absolutely could. Too early to say exactly how weakened hezbollah is in terms of the amount of weaponry destroyed. I think at the near term we are likely to see at least a 10% international terrorist plots of the type hezbollah has been known to carry out in the past. Just a few months ago one of the operatives was convicted for trying to kill operatives in brazil. I think we will see those types of plots from iranians. They have tried to carry out assassination plots can targeting their foes and thatis can targeting their foes and that is likely to continue. In the longer term, how powerful hezbollah would be in lebanon on? with the lebanese armed forces step up, will there benefit to enforce for the first time the un security council resolution 1701 passed out of the last war between hezbollah and israel in 2006? too early to tell all of that. The israelis for their part are working very hard to make sure hezbollah cannot rearm. Reportedly today and a ionian plane was about to land in beirut. plain. The plane turned around and laid in the day they were israeli airstrikes on the syrian and iraqi border, efforts by iran, it was billy, to see weapons to hezbollah. If the welcome step up hezbollah. If the welcome step up and perverted prevent hezbollah from being we are and it is possible this could be a region chain for the better. You mentioned iran. What do you think happens next with iran? how will it out? a couple of proxies, the houthi is an now hezbollah have been seeing major attacks by israel in the past couple of days. Iran major attacks by israel in the past couple of days. Past couple of days. Iran has two problems. _ past couple of days. Iran has two problems. The past couple of days. Iran has two problems. The first two problems. The first is as much as it might want to respond because of her son nasrallah's death, he was very close to senior iranians and in part because several or at least one senior iranian general appears to have been killed they may want to respond themselves but they will be very wary of doing that because they understand the israelis will hit back hard, much harder than they did in april when iran shot 300 projectiles at israel and they also understand for them the one red line is whatever violence, whatever regional conflict or war happens inaudible not cross the borders into iran. Again, for the iranians, it is live another day. They have basically lost hamas as a fighting force, may have just lost hezbollah as a fighting force and hezbollah is first among equals within the proxy network so there will be an effort to maintain what they have at the moment, but iran, hezbollah have long memories. They might not strike back tomorrow but they may in the future, for sure. future, for sure. Always great to have you future, for sure. Always great to have you on. _ future, for sure.

At least 91 people are dead and 2. 5 million people are and 2. 5 million people are without power after hurricane heleen swept through the southeastern united states. Us presidentjoe biden plans to meet those affected once you're sure it will not affect the response. It brought torrential rain and flowered flooding and the city of asheville was bitterly badly hit. Over 300,000 people crossed north carolina after being left without power, facing difficulties reaching emergency centres and cellphone services have gone down. Over 400 roads are closed due to damage from that storm. According to the american red cross, it has opened about 140 shelters across the five states. Affected. Let's bring in the miami correspondent with cbs. What is the situation in the region? what is the latest you are hearing? it region? what is the latest you are hearing? are hearing? it is absolutely devastating. _ are hearing? it is absolutely devastating. The _ are hearing? it is absolutely devastating. The governor l are hearing? it is absolutely| devastating. The governor of the north carolina, roy cooper, has said this is an unprecedented tragedy and it requires an unprecedented level of response. At this point as you rightly mentioned, asheville appears to be the epicentre of the disaster that has been left behind by this storm. Communities around asheville and in that part of north carolina are essentially underwater. There have been certain neighbourhoods, certain smaller cities that have been practically cut off and at this point they are bringing in supplies by air and attempted to get a hold of folks who are in these areas because there is no internet, no cellphone service and as i mentioned, it is something that is unprecedented for that area. The cleanup also continues here in the state of florida where officials have said they saw up to 15 feet of storm surge in certain areas. This was a monster of a storm making landfall and a category four going across several states and leaving behind that path of destruction. gs leaving behind that path of destruction. leaving behind that path of destruction. * ,.

Do we have a sense of what has made this storm so dangerous and deadly? you have to take into account the amount of rainfall that certain parts of particularly north carolina have had. About 31 inches of rain for some areas. That causes issues with rivers that to overflow, there are certain areas already prone to flooding and these are communities. Here in florida, you are sort of. . . You know what is coming and you know you have to evacuate certain areas but for some of these communities that are still low lying, they do not anticipate to get this level of rainfall, despite it being on the part of the storm. In addition, it is just a matter of what has complicated it so much, of all of this, is this was a system that, if you look back, intensified so quickly and something we have seen in the past couple of years, in the past couple of years, in the past three years, when you have these rapidly intensifying storms and you have communities that perhaps ten years ago were meant to handle hurricanes, of ten years ago, but now because they intensify so quickly, they
