Looking forward to talking to julie and brian shortly but the latest Bbc News first. Israels prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has confirmed that his military has eliminated the expected successor of the hezbollah leader, hassan nasrallah, and the next in line after him. In a Video Address posted on social media, made in english, he didnt refer to anyone by name but he did call on the people of lebanon to reject hezbollah, and their iranian backers. Meanwhile, the Israeli Military says its expanding its Ground Offensive into south western lebanon. Until now its focused on the south eastern side. Hezbollah has fired more than 100 rockets at northern israeli cities. President biden says Hurricane Milton could be the worst storm to hit florida in a century. The category four storm will make landfall in this next 48 hours. 51 florida counties are under a state of emergency, more than 200 State Health Care facilities have been evacuated.

And we heard that ebay will clampdown on the sales of ebags and evite batteries from the uk at The End of this month. The firm said only eligible Business Sellers will be able to sell them after this day, they have soared in popularity but so has the incidence of E Bike Battery fires. If You Arejustjoining us, welcome to the programme. A year on from October Seventh, the Israeli Military has begun a new offensive in the Jabaliya Refugee Camp in northern gaza. The idf believe hamas is rebuilding. But note, it is the fourth time they have returned to that area in the past year. And that speaks to a concern the us administration is now expressing more openly. The challenge going forward is to turn tactical wins in battle into a strategy that secures israels people and its future. That takes real discipline. It takes courage. It takes foresight, to match the conduct of war to a clear and sustainable set of objectives and to turn tactical advantage into enduring strategic gains. That is never easy, but it is imperative, and we are here to work with you on that. A statement he gave yesterday at the Israeli Embassy In Washington. The former head of shin bet, israels secret service, believes his country is no safer today than it was on october sixth last year. The head of the cia, william burns, thinks we are but one mistake, away from all out regional war. The former Prime Minister of lebanon, Fouad Siniora bemoans the lack of any international initiative. The americans have just given up on the ceasefire proposals. His country, he says, has been abandoned. Now, many of those who were electing to be silence and not to speak up their minds, now they are speaking up their minds. That lebanon cannot afford to continue to be hijacked by the iranian government, by iran. I hope that something can really happen to save lebanon. I strongly believe strongly believe that it is very important to keep lebanon alive. Brian taylor, that was a stark Statement Tonight from Benjamin Netanyahu and i am trying to get to the bottom of what he expects the other communities in lebanon to do, because we reported tonight, hezbollah is a state within a state and for as a Security Vacuum in lebanon. The other groups do not really have either the military power or the political power to get rid of them, so what does he expect the people of lebanon to do . He what does he expect the people of lebanon to do . Of lebanon to do . He painted exects of lebanon to do . He painted meets to of lebanon to do . He painted expects to advance of lebanon to do . He painted expects to advance the of lebanon to do . He painted expects to advance the cause | of lebanon to do . He painted i expects to advance the cause of israel it within the initiatives that shes taken. All political leaders face internal and external pressures, pressures from other states, friendly or otherwise, and pressures internally from the electorate, if the democratic or populist if not, and even Benjamin Netanyahu open and has risen somewhat in recent days after somewhat calamitous ratings after October Seven Last year, when it was seen to have been a weakness by the israel defense force. My real concern is on theissue force. My real concern is on the issue of lebanon and hamas, and the issue of the situation generally, they both diplomacy appears to be stuck. I am sure there are determined efforts being made by individual diplomats and others be made, but you have appeared in our where the entire settlement seems to be in ice. We have been making determined efforts to make moves on the pro palestinian side, though any the only country with any the only country with any influence on israelites all is the united states and their diplomacy stuck, not least because of the elections in america, which are focusing the mind of perhaps the precise determined efforts that are required in the Middle East, but also because Benjamin Netanyahu does not appear to be listening, even particularly to the united states. He is pursuing an agenda which he saysis pursuing an agenda which he says is an defence of the state of israel and in response to aggression which she stresses came from Hamas Year ago. Julie, the White House is not opposed to israel responded to last weeks iranian attack, but It Hurts requires coordination because it would have integrations for us forces in the region, and what us officials of told axios today, they do not think they believe thatis they do not think they believe that is any more, they tell us they believe what we want to hear, though officials say, its a lack of trust.

You cannot have a ceasefire of the world.

They you would want to make as you said, they are pretty much powerless against them, and i look powerless against them, and i look at powerless against them, and i look at whats happened on October Look at whats happened on october seven, hezbollah has built october seven, hezbollah has built a october seven, hezbollah has built a structure to attack israel built a structure to attack Israel Ih built a structure to attack israel in the same way. It is incredible israel in the same way.

I dont think anyone is sympathetic to L Anyone is sympathetic to hezbollah or hamas outside the two groups we are talking about, but history is often a structure of what happens in the future and ive covered the war in lebanon in 2006, getting rid of hezbollah did not work, we are in the jabalia Refugee Camp for a fourth time today, the war almost going full circle, i am wondering if prime Minister Netanyahu is setting himself on achievable objectives and whether the international community has to force them towards an ending point.

What about this under President Trump. What about this line under President Trump. What about this line from under President Trump. What about this line from jake about this line from Jake Sullivan Yesterday the at the Israeli Embassy In Washington on October Seventh anniversary, it takes Discipline And Courage and foresight to match the conduct of war to a clear and sustainable set of objectives, no question that was aimed at prime Minister Netanyahu and his process advisers, but would it be heard was a mark . It be heard was a mark . Thats a very good it be heard was a mark . Thats a very good point it be heard was a mark . Thats a very good point and prime i a very good point and prime Minister Netanyahu appears to be listening to the opinions of views within israel, perhaps the opinions we heard expressed, but clearly, if you are to end the minute hamas and it hezbollah, does that mean eliminate all their resources and individuals on at what point do you declare they have been eliminated . It may be better longer term, the only way longer term, better longer term, the only way longerterm, i better longer term, the only way longer term, i appreciate this is a very remote from concerns of the moment, the only way it longer term is to eliminate the source of the concern that prompts hezbollah and hamas and the houthis and uranian backers to try and achieve a two State Solution in the Middle East. I appreciate thatis the Middle East. I appreciate that is far from the situation i am simply horrified that diplomacy is so remote from the field. A bizarre comparison if you will, but i think of the classical german novel which is translated as all quiet on the western front, and the soldiers on that have become a inured to violence in the horror that they regard ebay of Brutality And Mass death as being of mixed noise, nothing new. I think theres a real danger of that happening in the Middle East, that would become so inured to the presence of Violence And Brutality on all sides that we shrug our shoulders and despair at the lack of action. We shoulders and despair at the lack of action. Shoulders and despair at the lack of action. We are talking about the lack of action. We are talking about the Malign Lack of action. We are talking about the malign influence i lack of action. We are talking j about the malign influence of iran, we know about that in the Middle East, but was about further afield . We have talked about the malign influence of iran in the near Middle East but what about further afield. Ken mccullum, head of mi5, in his annual update on Security Threats faced by the uk, said iran had been behind plot after plot in the uk in the past two years. Five new iran backed plots have been uncovered by Mi5 And Police just this year. Not the uk is alone in facing this threat. In the past month, us intelligence officials have briefed Donald Trump about a suspected iranian plot to kill him. Benny Gantz Reiten in the New York Times this weekend, julie, said it is time for the west to come together and feast on iran once and for all. Politically, economically, militarily, do you think somehow, we are not getting it right when it comes to standing up to iran . Brute to standing up to iran . We are not, we to standing up to iran .

Bankrupt iran and we will have a more stable government, we will definitely have government, we will definitely have a government, we will definitely have a more stable Middle East, so i have a more stable Middle East, so i agree.

Its difficult to tell what the state of matter is is in iran, the seats of mentors economically and the state of the power broken that we witness, but i think the Statement Today from the head of mis Statement Today from the head of mi5 is absolutely incredible, and is frankness and brightness, and i am old enough as a journalist when the very existence of mi5 and mi six was the night i know we have a polished Wes Morgan Resolution Standing up and delivering a statement of the nature of that threat, the multifaceted nature of the threat. I think he was making three broad points. One the point about terrorism and undermining activities of states like iran, and mention also lesser details on chinese attempt to spy, but certainly russia and iran, but he was talking about that dizzying ranges of beliefs and ideologies they face, and the second point was that or the first point was warning about the nature of the threat and urging us to be on guard, and the second point was how i wonder if teens are being radicalised online and pose a threat because you cannot discover that this is fake or bogus without some sense it is examined, and that is taking up time. Im also sure that being the head of mi5 at a time when theres economic difficulties and concerns over public finance, hes probably saying needs more support and funding.
