Hello, Im nIcky schIller. Welcome to the programme. Israel has carrIed out further BombIng RaIds on beIrut, as fIghtIng wIth hezbollah contInues on the ground In southern lebanon. Israel claIms Its kIlled 440 hezbollah fIghters sInce the start of Its Ground InvasIon. WhIlst the un says lebanon faces a terrIble refugee crIsIs. These are todays maIn developments In the MIddle East conflIct. Israel agaIn struck the Southern Suburbs of beIrut. Clashes were also reported around lebanons southern border. Hezbollah has fIred rockets Into Northern Israel, wIth reports that resIdentIal buIldIngs were hIt. Israel says 90 rockets have so far been fIred. IsraelI prIme MInIster BenjamIn Netanyahu has tonIght vowed to respond to Irans MIssIle Attack on hIs country earlIer thIs week he saId, Israel has the duty and the rIght to defend Itself and respond to these attacks and we wIll do so. Israel meanwhIle has called on palestInIans to evacuate parts of central gaza, as the mIlItary saId It was preparIng to use great force agaInst hamas fIghters In the area. Pro palestInIan protests are beIng held around the the globe today, callIng for a ceasefIre In gaza and an end to the conflIct. They come two days before the annIversary of the kIllIng of about 1200 IsraelIs In the Hamas Attack that sparked the current conflIct. Let me take you to the lIve pIctures from beIrut where It Is 11 oclock In the evenIng, and the IsraelI army has just made a fresh call for cIvIlIans near three buIldIngs In a southern suburb to evacuate ImmedIately ahead of AIr StrIkes. They have done thIs before strIkes on hezbollah targets In the cIty. The message was put out by the Idfs the message was put out by the Idf s arabIc Language Spokesman who saId they should evacuate ImmedIately ahead of AIr StrIkes and called on cIvIlIans to dIstance themselves at least 500 metres from the sIte In the hezbollah stronghold. In recent days, the Idf has Issued several EvacuatIon Orders for that area ahead of AIr StrIkes. So It Is urgIng resIdents to ImmedIately evacuate and move at least 500 metres from the sItes. We wIll keep an eye on those pIctures from beIrut because often after those warnIngs have been made, there Is then a strIke on the cIty by IsraelI forces. As I say, we wIll keep an eye on those pIctures In beIrut. ThIs of course all comes amId InternatIonal pressure on Israel, and the french presIdent Emmanuel Macron has saId france stands by the countrys rIght to Self Defence but renewed hIs call for a ceasefIre. He saId a dIplomatIc solutIon should be the prIorIty and there should be a halt to sendIng weapons for the war. He also added france Is currently not sendIng any. Lets lIsten to more hIs remarks. TranslatIon when callIng for a ceasefIre as we dId for gaza and for lebanon last week, we make sure we dont call for a ceasefIre whIle contInuIng to send weapons for the war, and I thInk Its sImply about beIng consIstent. PresIdent macron s remarks dId not Go unnotIced. In a statement, IsraelI prIme MInIster BenjamIn Netanyahu saId, as Israel fIghts the forces of BarbarIsm Led by Iran, all cIvIlIsed countrIes should be standIng fIrmly by Israels sIde. Yet, PresIdent Macron and other western leaders are now callIng for Arms EmbarGoes agaInst Israel. Shame on them. Well, heres more on the sItuatIon from our Correspondent NIck Beake In lebanon. Israel Is steppIng up Its strIkes In Lebanon BeIrut rocked by more blasts overnIght and thIs mornIng, as the IsraelI army says It contInues to hIt hezbollah targets, IncludIng near the cItys aIrport. But the expandIng assault has forced more thanI mIllIon lebanese from theIr homes In the past two weeks. Many takIng refuge In the capItal. There may be glImpses of normalIty, but thIs Is not the Safe Haven they hoped It would be. TranslatIon the lebanese people are used to thIs, thIs Is not the problem. The problem Is wIth how we are lIvIng, wIth the people who are lIvIng In the streets. You need countrIes to start takIng actIon. The sItuatIon Is a dIsaster and we are lIvIng through It. What should we do . We can no Go anywhere. We cannot travel. All the country Is at rIsk. And because of that, we have to lIve what should we do . We have to lIve wIth It. Israel also hIt the northern lebanese cIty of trIpolI In the early hours. ThIs the damage after a commander not from hezbollah, but from hamas was kIlled, reportedly along wIth hIs wIfe and two chIldren. The commander was kIlled by an IsraelI drone, thIs man says, explaInIng that others lIvIng here would follow the path to martyrdom. In the south of lebanon, IsraelI soldIers are tryIng to consolIdate theIr recent Ground InvasIon. But hezbollah say there have been fIerce clashes and claIm to have wounded advancIng IsraelI troops. Over the border, IsraelI aIrcraft have been In constant actIon, as hezbollah fIres more rockets Into Israel and fIghts back. NIck beake, Bbc News, In Northern Israel. My Colleague Anna Foster Is In beIrut. She has more on what It Is lIke In the lebanese capItal. I crossed the cIty earlIer today and those contInuIng AIr StrIkes were really clear to see. As you Go up Into the mountaIns and look down over the rooftops of beIrut, you can see those rIsIng columns of smoke. At one poInt, there were several IsraelI AIr StrIkes that hIt In a sImIlar area over the course of an hour. And one of them, as well, was very close to the aIrport agaIn that rIsIng column of smoke. And there are always concerns. The Southern Suburbs are In pretty close proxImIty to the aIrport, but there are stIll fears here that anythIng that gets too close, or Indeed a delIberate IsraelI StrIke on the aIrport runway, would really stop people from beIng able to leave thIs country. Its somethIng thats already pretty dIffIcult to do. ThIs Is the area of the masnaa crossIng. Its The BIg One of the bIg cIvIlIan crossIngs between lebanon and syrIa. ObvIously not everybody able to use that one. Not everybody has the the papers or the vIsas to actually be able to get across. But what we have seen here In the last sort of two weeks or so sInce people have been fleeIng theIr homes after the IsraelI AIr StrIkes started and the EvacuatIon Orders began, a lot of syrIan refugees who fled The CIvIl War In SyrIa and came across Into lebanon are now actually tryIng to Go back agaIn to escape the escalatIng fIghtIng here. So these are some new Images of people on both sIdes of that crossIng. It was closed yesterday after an IsraelI AIr StrIke hIt the road near the crossIng. But these pIctures appear to show people, they appear to show people crossIng over. So It looks possIble that that crossIng has been re establIshed. Today you can see people walkIng on that road around that key crossIng at masnaa as well. But It really, I thInk, shows you two thIngs. It speaks to the scale and the sIze of the DIsplacement CrIsIs here In lebanon at the moment. And It also really says a lot about the fears and concerns of people here. When you look at those syrIans who left the CIvIl War In theIr own country, who are now makIng that decIsIon to Go back agaIn, feelIng that they wIll be safer than they are stayIng here In lebanon at the moment. And as we were sayIng, nIcky, you know, through the day today, through the afternoon, weve seen more of these IsraelI AIr StrIkes on dIfferent parts of the capItal. You know, Its dark here now. When we get Into the sort of the overnIght and the early hours of the mornIng, thats when you tend to get these new Idf warnIngs for buIldIngs and areas In the Southern Suburbs and, you know, people who lIve here. And, you know, I can speak to that as well. At the moment, you really see and hear overnIght, often very Intense strIkes rIght In the heart of the capItal here. ThIs Is the scene lIve In beIrut. We have had one of those new warnIngs from the Idf callIng on cIvIlIans near three buIldIngs In the southern suburb of beIrut, an area known as dahIeh, to evacuate ImmedIately ahead of AIr StrIkes. They called on cIvIlIans to dIstance themselves at least 500 metres from the sIdes, and as an I was sayIng, thIs follows a pattern over the last week or so that theyIssue over the last week or so that they Issue these warnIng us and then we see AIr StrIkes on a partIcular area. Then we see AIr StrIkes on a partIculararea. So then we see AIr StrIkes on a partIcular area. So we have had that warnIng In the last hour and these are the lIve pIctures In beIrut. The head of the uns Refugee Agency has saId lebanon faces a terrIble crIsIs. FIlIppo grandI warned that hundreds of thousands of people had been left destItute or DIsplaced by IsraelI AIr StrIkes. Lets speak to ramI shamma, who Is the OperatIons DIrector for World VIsIon lebanon. The organIsatIon provIdes support for lebanese famIlIes and refugee communItIes.

Goodl evenIng fIrst, and let me start by sayIng that when the escalatIon started two weeks aGo, we dIdnt expect that we would reach thIs stage now on day 13. Instead of thIngs stabIlIsIng In terms of the humanItarIan efforts that are beIng done, we are lookIng at IncreasIng needs, IncreasIng gaps, we are lookIng at more people beIng DIsplaced and more Schools OpenIng to welcome the DIsplaced. And as the humanItarIan needs are IncreasIng, our work on the ground Is also affected and we are expandIng as much as possIble to be able to meet these basIc needs.

ThIs Is somethIng that Is consIdered to be top prIorIty for us as humanItarIan organIsatIons and It Is stIll a bIg gap on all of these levels. When the schools are openIng, there are new Schools OpenIng, they dont have any of those and we are welcomIng the DIsplaced people and then we are tryIng to see what theIr needs are. Every sIngle day, we are seeIng new requests from new people who are beIng DIsplaced. New people who are beIng DIsplaced new people who are beIng dIslaced. DIsplaced.

Thousands of people I would say because we dont have exact numbers but at least one of the waves of dIsplacement we had around 2000 people sIttIng on the streets of beIrut where we had to support them wIth at least the food for the nIght to be able to spend the nIght untIl they had new shelter to Go To.

At least now the Supply ChaIn Is manageable, there are certaIn areas In the country In whIch the aId Is not accessIble due to mobIlIty and due to AIr StrIkes happenIng on the roads so humanItarIans are takIng on a daIly basIs. We had several areas where AIr StrIkes were happenIng just metres away from our trucks that were delIverIng the aId and assIstance. Today we were able to delIver to the south, even to the ordered vIllage, two or three bIg trucks of support for the famIlIes who have decIded to stay In thIs vIllage. But thIs Is a constant rIsk that we are takIng and we need to contInue to be able to provIde the basIc needs. ~. to be able to provIde the basIc needs. ~. ,. to be able to provIde the basIc needs. ~.

They are lIvIng In constant dIsplacement. There Is a very bIg and clear vIsIon for how thIs wIll be takIng place so there Is destructIon. We are lookIng at 173,000 approxImately lIvIng In 940 shelters. I mean, even a as organIsatIons, as much as we are able to support, there Is a very bIg gap. If the conflIct contInues, we are lookIng at more and more gaps, especIally In the water and sanItatIon.

AccordIng to french authorItIes, one of the boats Involved was carryIng almost 90 people. Heres how an offIcIal for the pas de CalaIs RegIon reacted. TranslatIon despIte these terrIble events, there are stIll many mIgrants who try to travel by sea as soon as the weather Is favourable, as It has been sInce thursday nIght, on our coast. So you should know that the pressure Is very hIgh. Lets Ta Ke lets take a break from the news to get a check on the sport. LIzzIe Is at the sports centre. Were startIng wIth football and the PremIer League where lIverpool stay top but manchester cIty are hot on theIr heels after a narrow wIn over fulham. Jeremy doku scored the decIsIve thIrd Goal for the defendIng champIons, whod been a Goal down after andreas pereIras StrIke MIdway through the fIrst half. And after cIty had equalIsed and Gone ahead agaIn wIth two Goals from mateo kovacIc, fulham were gIven another glImmer of hope when SubstItute RodrIGo MunIz scored just before full tIme. But cIty held on to wIn 3 2 and are now unbeaten In 50 home games In all competItIons. We played some decent moments. In others they were better than a and makIng Good saves. Fulham Is an IncredIble team. They have some talented players, we knew It and yes, we won. MeanwhIle arsenal kept themselves In touch wIth a wIn at home to southampton who actually scored fIrst, substutute Cameron Archer puttIng them brIefly ahead agaInst the run of play. But arsenal equalIsed mInutes later and ended up comfortably wInnIng 3 1 wIth Goals from havertz, MartInellI And Sa ka. We conceded a Goal and then It Is game on. EverythIng In the fIrst half thrown away and then Its a dIfferent game but I thInk the team reacted wIth a level of authorIty, very composed and Im really happy that we can react lIke thIs but not that happy wIth the fIrst half that we had to Go through that agaIn. Elsewhere, leIcester won theIr fIrst game of the season beatIng bournemouth, brentford put fIve past wInless wolves who remaIn bottom, West Ham regIstered theIr fIrst Home WIn of the season, 4 1 agaInst IpswIch, whIle Anthony Gordon mIssed a penalty as Everton And Newcastle drew 0 0. In the days earlIer kIck off, LIverpool Beat Crystal palace 1 0 to stay top but lost Goa
