Israeli PM says "task before us is not yet completea; US president, VP and senior leaders say killing must be opportunity to end Gaza war

• Israel says Hamas chief Yahya Sinwar is dead: what we know so far

The US military has mobilised its long-range B-2 stealth bombers to conduct strikes against afive hardened underground weapons storage locationsa in Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen. The Pentagon said the facilities house various weapons components the Houthis have used to target civilian and military vessels, roiling commercial shipping in the Red Sea. aThis was a unique demonstration of the United Statesa ability to target facilities that our adversaries seek to keep out of reach, no matter how deeply buried underground, hardened, or fortified,a defence secretary Lloyd Austin said in a statement.

The US Central Command said its battle damage assessments from the strikes were under way and did not indicate civilian casualties. The early morning strikes marked the first the US has used the B-2 bomber to attack Houthis in Yemen, and according to Bloomberg, the first time since January 2017 the wing-shaped bomber has flown in a combat mission.

The mayor of one of the largest cities in Lebanonas south has been killed in an Israeli airstrike that hit the cityas municipal headquarters during a meeting to coordinate aid deliveries to residents and those displaced by war. The strike, one of a series on Nabatieh on Wednesday morning, killed 16 people and wounded 52, the Lebanese health ministry said. Lebanonas caretaker prime minister Najib Mikati accused Israel of aintentionally targetinga the meeting.

UN peacekeeping forces in Lebanon said an Israeli army tank fired at a Unifil watchtower in Kafer Kela, a village in south Lebanon, in what it described as a adirect and apparently deliberatea act. The incident is the latest in a string of violations that Unifil has blamed on the IDF, prompting international condemnation. The IDF denied it was targeting Unifil forces.

Syrian news agency SANA reported an Israeli airstrike hitting the coastal city of Latakia. The state media outlet reported afires were triggered by the Israeli aggressiona at the entrance to Latakia, a stronghold of president Bashar al-Assad. It also reported two injuries and damage to private properties.

US defence secretary Lloyd Austin has spoken with Israeli defence minister Yoav Gallant, the Pentagon says, after Austin and secretary of state Antony Blinken jointly penned a letter earlier this week calling on Israel to improve Gazaas humanitarian situation.

The US has demanded proof on the ground that Israel does not have a policy of starvation in northern Gaza as it turned up the pressure on the Netanyahu government to allow more aid into the territory. The US ambassador to the UN, Linda Thomas-Greenfield, told the security council on Wednesday at a meeting convened by France, UK and Algeria that such a policy awould not just be horrific and unacceptablea but also had aimplications under international and US lawa.

The risk of cholera spreading in Lebanon is avery higha, the World Health Organization has warned, after a case of the acute and potentially deadly infection was detected in the conflict-hit country.

More than 500 Filipino migrant workers are expected to soon be repatriated from Lebanon, according to the Philippine government, amid warnings that workers who want to leave are facing resistance from their employers.

More than 500 Filipino migrant workers are expected to soon be repatriated from Lebanon, according to the Philippine government, amid warnings that workers who want to leave are facing resistance from their employers.

Migrante International, which represents Filipinos working abroad, warned last month that many workers wanted to leave Lebanon but were struggling with a slow repatriation process and problems with employers. Employers, who have paid large agency fees to hire workers, have been reluctant to support repatriation applications or hand over workersa passports, the group warned. Filipino workers in Lebanon are mainly employed as domestic workers in Beirut.

After a year-long hunt, IDF soldiers encountered and killed Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar without knowing it was him

• Middle East crisis a live updates

In the end, after a year-long, multi-agency manhunt involving the latest technology, Israelas best special forces and American assistance, Yahya Sinwar appears to have been killed by regular soldiers who had stumbled into him and had no idea whom they had killed.

According to the initial reports, they were not there on an assassination operation and had no prior intelligence that they could be in the vicinity of the elusive Hamas leader, architect of the 7 October attacks, the man Israel most wanted to kill. It was only after they took a closer look at his face and found identity documents on him that the troops realised they had got Sinwar.

Goal seems to be for people ato lose confidence in the systema, says head of industry body after devices found in Birmingham and Leipzig

If Russia is proved to be behind an incendiary device plot that caused fires at two parcels warehouses in July, it will be evidence that Moscow is aiming to disrupt western confidence, an expert has said.

The dangerous packages, which caught light at DHL sites in Birmingham and Leipzig, are not thought to have been sophisticated but in both cases appear to have evaded security checks. German authorities warned this week that a plane could have been downed if the devices, which were both sent by air, had ignited in flight.

This retrospective on how Jennifer Saundersas sitcom went from shambles to all-time great has a national treasure gravitas to it a and the juicy anecdotes make the show sing

There is something very Eddy and Patsy about Absolutely Fabulous getting an in-depth, bells-and-whistles retrospective, not for its 25th or even 30th anniversaries, but for its a| 32nd. Absolutely Fabulous: Inside Out is an indulgent treat for fans, bulging out of its Lacroix sample sizes with gossip, memories, outtakes and a warm, if too brief, cast reunion. If, like many of the talking heads here, you believe it to be one of the greatest British sitcoms of all time a and it is, obviously, particularly the first three series a then this is a fantastic and revelatory deep dive into who and what made it so special.

As regular listeners of the French and Saunders podcast Titting About will know, Dawn French took some time away from their double act in the early 1990s to raise her daughter, leaving Jennifer Saunders without her comedy partner and in need of a new project. Saunders admits that at that point, her writing experience had been limited to sketches. But one of those sketches, Modern Mother and Daughter, saw French playing a Saffy character, and Saunders the mother, then called Adriana. You can see how much of the show is there already. It only needed the addition of best friend and fashion editor Patsy a whom Joanna Lumley poetically refers to as a asuccubus a| like ivy, or one of those insects that feed off youa a to flesh it out. If a single sketch could be nine minutes long, Saunders reasons, you only needed to put two of them together to call it a sitcom.

With a new Body Count album out next month, the hip-hop superstar turned actor answers your questions on Law & Order, the Cop Killer furore and working with awild mana Abel Ferrara

Was there ever a moment during the furore over Cop Killer when you were feeling the heat and/or questioning yourself over releasing it? Sophisticles
I never really questioned myself, but the heat came when they started sending bomb threats to Warner Bros. I threw the rock, thatas my heat. But when other people could get hurt, thatas nerve-racking. But I got news for people: anybody that thinks controversy is a way to make money, itas not. You get a lot of buzz, but now you need lawyers. So donat just say something stupid and then back-pedal a if youare going to say something, stand on it.

When you founded Body Count, a Black man performing heavy metal was pretty rare. Have you enjoyed the growing crossover between hip-hop and heavier music in recent years, and the increasing diversity in genres such as hardcore and metal? MrPleebus
I didnat really care, I was just trying to do me. Of course, yes, it feels good to see the genre merge and change, but that wasnat my agenda. My agenda was simple: to play in a band with [guitarist] Ernie C. Touring in Europe with Public Enemy, Iad noticed the kids would mosh off of fast rap and thatas what sparked the idea to do Body Count, to do a fast rock band. It wasnat like, aLetas get Black people in.a It was just a| Iam going to do this shit.

Badenoch fared slightly better in the TV special for the two Tory leadership candidates than Jenrick, who is the partyas very own hollow man

If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound? This is the existential dilemma that the Tory party now faces. The pain is real and their faces are contorted like Munchas Scream. But they are locked into their own echo chamber of futility.

Fair to say the Tories have not adjusted well to opposition. Many continue to believe they are the natural party of government and the country has a sacred duty to continue accepting whatever deadbeats it puts in front of voters.

• Liam Payne was just getting started. His death is a heartbreaking end

At One Directionas first audition together on The X Factor in 2010, Liam Payne a who died yesterday a is given the opening line. Singing Natalie Imbrugliaas Torn to Simon Cowell and Sinitta, Payne is only 16 yet has seemingly absorbed decades of pop stagecraft. Itas a difficult opening verse to sell to the judges�a downbeat and low-register�a but Payne nails it. Rippling vibrato denotes his trembling heart and matinee-idol acting sells the line ashe showed me what it was to crya as he glances off to one side as if slapped by the painful memory all�over again.

As the four other members join Payne, you can almost see Cowellas eyes whirling like a fruit machine. These lads can harmonise. They can soulfully extemporise. Each of them is handsome in the subtly different ways teen idols need to be handsome, from boyish to smouldering. They seem entirely comfortable wearing the ratty scarves of the era. Here is something British a even global�a pop has been sorely missing: a genuinely convincing boyband.

Whether for slicing, dicing, mixing or mashing, which kitchen essential wins the great gadget debate? We asked some of our favourite cooks for their verdict

• The best kitchen knives for every job a chosen by chefs

Though they seem similar, food processors are actually quite different to blenders and juicers,a says Feast columnist Yotam Ottolenghi. aBlenders mash and mix; juicers extract from fruit and veggies; but food processors slice, dice and mix ingredients faster and more efficiently than by hand, making tasks like chopping veggies or kneading dough much easier.a Essentially, these gadgets are the real kitchen workhorses a but they arenat always cheap.

That said, if you get the right one, it will stand the test of time. Georgina Hayden, author of Greekish, has had her trusty Magimix for 19 years. aItas still going strong,a she says. aI have bought one new bowl and blade over the years, but they are incredibly sturdy.a So which food processors, blenders and mixers are worth the storage space, or will a hand blender do the job? We asked some of the UKas top chefs for their picks.

The script is thick with jokes, Simon Bird and co are a joy to behold and scenes just zip along. This take on an ultra-conservative church is reinvigorating old-school comedy

How do you make the old-school sitcom a with its improbable plotlines, cartoonish characters and gimmicky setting a feel fresh and relevant in 21st-century Britain? Apparently, the answer is to shun the modern world altogether. Following the devout Lewis family, Everyone Else Burns pitches up in a Manchester-based evangelical church (and doomsday cult) where misogyny, homophobia and a shockingly dated sense of community are all alive and well. Itas deliberately unrelatable material presented in doggedly artificial, stupid hairdo-heavy style. As a contemporary comedy it shouldnat work, but a by God a it really does.

The brilliance of Everyone Else Burns a now returning for a second series a is partly the result of a script thick with quirky jokes, but mainly down to a cast who are simply a joy to behold. As pathologically incompetent patriarch David, The Inbetweenersa Simon Bird somehow walks the line between heinously oppressive and heart-rendingly naive: a devotee of his sectas misogynistic creed, he has zero qualms about being a dinner table despot, yet his unworldliness (he believes that gazing upon the Sun-Maid girl constitutes marital infidelity) and Birdas utterly un-alpha energy mean heas more fool than tyrant.

Studios usually twist themselves into pretzels to avoid confusing movie titles. But this Christmas, unwary fans of the CBBC show should beware

Great news, parents! In just a few short weeks, a new Horrible History DVD will be released. Imagine the look of absolute delight on the faces of your children as they giddily unwrap their present and realise that their favourite CBBC show has created new material.

And then imagine the growing look of horror on their faces as they scan the cover of the DVD case and see that the main image is a clenched fist and some spiked knuckledusters. And then their violent disappointment as they slowly put two and two together and realise that instead of buying them Horrible Histories (a DVD of sophisticated yet child-friendly historical parody sketches from most of the people behind Ghosts), you have actually bought them Horrible History (the new limited edition four-DVD boxset of violent, decades-old kung fu movies by the Chinese director Chang Cheh).

We must make this moment a watershed that quenches the hellfire that threatens to envelop Israel, Palestine, Lebanon and the entire region

Last Sunday night, as I was getting ready for bed, my friend Ali from the South Hebron Hills of Palestine sent me a text which read, aIsrael is burning sleeping people alive in the refugee camps.a I clicked on the accompanying video and I could not believe what I saw: an inferno blazing, people running around screaming, and there, amidst the flame, a body writhing, crackling; a raised arm, reaching out for help, still attached to an IV. I waited for the following morning to share the video, until the event had been reported by reputable news outlets, because the images appeared too gruesome to be real a like they were something out of a movie a but they were real: an Israeli airstrike hit near the grounds of al-Aqsa Martyrsa hospital in the central Gaza city of Deir al-Balah and killed at least four people. The man that we saw burning alive? His name was Shaaban al-Dalou, a 19-year-old software engineering student.

In the 24 hours since this attack, my social media feed was filled with videos of and reactions to this attack. The reel posted on Instagram by the Palestinian journalist Saleh Aljafarawi has been shared more than 455,000 times. The CNN Instagram post has been viewed more than 1.2m times. Randa, a Palestinian friend of mine whose grandparents were born in Gaza, shared that this event was clear proof that Israel was waging a war of aannihilationa. Survivors of the attack said the fires were caused by gas cooking canisters. Israel blamed asecondary explosionsa in a statement.

Once thought extinct after the fall of empire, this debunked practice has re-emerged with support from rogue experts and rich backers

aCivilisation is going to pieces a| if we donat look out the white race will be a will be utterly submerged. Itas all scientific stuff; itas been proved.a Sentiments like this will be familiar to those who lurk in the less wholesome corners of the internet, where racism and other bigotries flourish. As a geneticist who specialises in racism and eugenics, I lurk so that you donat have to.

However, this particular phantom threat comes from Tom Buchanan, Daisyas brutish husband, barking these unsolicited words at supper in the opening pages of The Great Gatsby. F Scott Fitzgerald paints a picture of upper-class ghouls that is fundamentally accurate: eugenics, race and the menace of immigrants were defining campaigning issues in Jazz-era America, as they were in Edwardian Britain.

My local Irish boozer is a quiet, no-thrills establishment a and I love it. But my friendas drink order made jaws drop

I love my local pub in west London. Itas very Irish, which is how I like my pubs. You canat move for gastropubs round me, and while they have their place, Iall take my very Irish local any day over any of them. Unless of course I want something more substantial to eat than Tayto crisps. Itas generally rather quiet in there, outside your rowdier weekend evenings, and quiet time is what I tend to want from a pub these days. There are a few screens showing various sports, but the volume is usually unobtrusively low. I love this place.

But last week something happened that may have damaged my standing in this establishment for ever. I popped in early on a Friday evening with some old friends, a couple about my age who were down from the West Midlands for the weekend. One half of this happy couple is a very enthusiastic drinker; the other hardly takes alcohol at all. My favourite bartender was on duty, a lovely woman from Dublin. I ordered a couple of pints of Guinness and asked my non-drinking friend if she would like her usual, a still mineral water. aNo,a she said. aIall have half a Guinness shandy.a

Lucky Loser, by two New York Times journalists, reveals just how much Donald owes to his father (spoiler alert: everything)

The singular piece of publicity most helpful to The Apprentice, a film about Donald Trump that opened in the US last week and opens in the UK this Friday, is the fact its subject tried to block the movieas release. The title refers to Trumpas adventures as a young man under the informal mentorship of the notorious New York lawyer Roy Cohn a former chief counsel for Joseph McCarthy, among other things a and from whom, the movie suggests, Trump picked up much of his conniving and ruthlessness. Trump is so lurid in life that he may be impossible to fictionalise, but the movie has a good crack. That it fails leaves one feeling vaguely cheated of an opportunity to deepen oneas loathing for Trump with a little more background and insight.

With the US election two and half weeks away, any representation of Trump, if itas not up to scratch, risks looking like either an act of hubris or total obliviousness. The Apprentice, which languished in development for years before getting a boost when the actor Jeremy Strong agreed to play Cohn, is at best a tabloid romp in which Trump-as-playboy is compellingly rendered and at worst a piece of counterintuitivism so obvious itas more predictable than a straightforward hatchet job. Sebastian Stan, as the young Trump, injects just the right level of nascent tics into his performance a the pursed lips, the flapping hands, the constant faffing with the hair a so that he appears physically very convincing. At the front end of the movie, the film-makers also make Trump appear gauchely, winningly, absurdly sympathetic.

Bret Baier interrupted Harris so much she could barely finish a sentence. She still injected some reality into Fox Newsas world

• Key takeaways from Harrisas Fox News interview

Bret Baier started off his Wednesday evening interview with Kamala Harris with a barrage of combative questions about immigration, designed less to elicit substantive answers than to prove what a tough guy the Fox host could be.

His aggressive approach was understandable, in a way, since Baier had been under pressure for days from the Donald Trump faithful; they were convinced he was going to go easy on the Democratic nominee for president, and maybe even allow her campaign to edit the interview or see the questions in advance.

Polls that show Kamala Harris losing Black support have Democrats in a panic. The reality is more complicated

Are Black voters gravitating towards Donald Trump in meaningful numbers? Recent polls and articles, most notably the New York Times/Siena College poll, have set off alarm bells across the country with their survey results finding the former president garnering historic levels of support among African American voters.

The short answer is no, there is little credible evidence showing a meaningful shift in the levels of support Black voters give to Democrats. The longer answer is that the current chorus of media concern illuminates serious shortcomings in polling methodology, political interpretation of polling data, and the responsible communication of information to the public in an ostensible democracy.

With the reported killing of the Hamas leader, Israelas partners should renew the push for a ceasefire and hostage deal

The Israeli militaryas announcement that it has killed the Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar should be an opportunity�to end the devastating war in Gaza that has killed tens of thousands of Palestinian men, women and children. The death of the man who�masterminded the 7 October massacres in southern Israel that killed more than 1,200 people would mark a key moment in the conflict. It could renew momentum for a ceasefire deal and hostage release a as families of those held have demanded. With the groupas two other key figures�already dead, Benjamin Netanyahu could declare victory.

There is no sign that he is prepared to do so without intense and sustained pressure on him a the sort of pressure that the US has repeatedly been unwilling to exert. Mr Netanyahu knows that protracting conflict extends his political life. It seems more likely that he will vow that itas time to finish the job. The Israeli prime minister said last monthas killing of Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of Hezbollah, had asettled the scorea, and his approval ratings rose. Then Israel launched its ground offensive in Lebanon.

MPs are seeking suggestions from the public on improving standards at Westminster. A radical response is overdue

On Thursday, MPs asked for ideas from the public on how parliament can be changed and standards raised. To which an inevitable response is that, if MPs want this, they should probably not be starting from here. The furore about gifts and freebies for ministers is rumbling on. Public confidence in politicians, already in decline under past governments, could now hardly be lower.

Much, but not all, of the problem lies in the larger context. Modern governments have not done enough to show they can solve the big public needs a things such as secure jobs, reasonable living costs, housing, care and health a that shape peopleas lives. The state has been relentlessly weakened, locally and nationally, for decades. Parliament can sometimes come across as an alien irrelevance, in which politicians spout platitudes offering little hope to stressed lives. If that could change, then so might confidence in politicians.

Personally and professionally, Iam livid about Kemi Badenochas endorsement of dangerously false claims, writes Dr Erin Beeston. Plus letters from another concerned parent and Stuart Bruce

I felt compelled to respond to the latest Conservative punch-down: Kemi Badenochas endorsement of dangerously false claims on the administrative load of neurodivergence (What kind of person would drag autistic children into the culture wars? The Kemi Badenoch kind, 14 October). As a parent of two autistic boys without a formal diagnosis a the eldest already two years into the waiting list, with the youngsteras referral somewhere in the ether a Iam absolutely livid. To see your loved ones struggle without the support they need to keep them safe and well is hard enough, before theyare dragged into Tory point-scoring against awokea society.

On a professional level, Iam even more affronted by these accusations of workplace meddling and entitlement by people with neurodevelopmental differences. Iam part of a research group exploring autistic health inequalities, and I can assure readers that there is ample evidence that every factor that equates to poor health outcomes is more prevalent in the autistic community. This can and should change, with better knowledge and autism-informed approaches to health and social care.

Dr Guy Standing is worried about the implications of Wes Streetingas suggestion that weight-loss drugs could be given to people who are unemployed and deemed to be obese

The proposal by the health secretary, Wes�Streeting, that weight-loss drugs could be provided to unemployed people deemed to be obese, as a way to help them get back to work and ease the demands on the NHS caused by obesity, should raise ethical alarms (Employers should be fined for unhealthy workplaces, says thinktank, 16 October).

Would taking the drug be voluntary, or would it become a condition for entitlement to benefits? Recalling Labouras previous support for conditionality and sanctions, one can guess which way it would go.

Pressure builds on Ange Postecoglou and Oliver Glasner, while a showdown at Anfield awaits as Chelsea visit

If Ange Postecoglou refuses to change his style, and Tottenham simply cannot change their culture, where does that leave both parties? Spurs are still some way off a crisis, but itas an impasse that could cause combustion. aI didnat get here by doing what everyone else is doing,a Postecoglou told Australian media this week, admitting that asittinga on the Brighton loss a in which Spurs completely collapsed in the second half a has made for an agonising international break. Despite winning five on the bounce before the trip to the south coast, anything less than victory against West Ham will put further strain on the relationship between Tottenhamas manager and their supporters, which can increasingly lurch from one extreme to the other.

Katie Archibald struck gold on her return from serious leg injuries as Great Britain successfully defended the womenas team pursuit title at the Cycling World Championships in Denmark.

Survey of young people aged 16-25 from all US states shows concerns across political spectrum

The overwhelming majority of young Americans worry about the climate crisis, and more than half say their concerns about the environment will affect where they decide to live and whether to have children, new research finds.

The study comes just weeks after back-to-back hurricanes, Helene and Milton, pummeled the south-eastern US. Flooding from Helene caused more than 600 miles of destruction, from Floridaas west coast to the mountains of North Carolina, while Milton raked across the Florida peninsula less than two weeks later.

Oil majorsa conduct can constitute reckless endangerment due to fossil fuelsa effect on global heating, advocates claim

New York state prosecutors could press criminal charges against big oil for its role in fueling hurricanes and other climate disasters, lawyers wrote in a new prosecution memorandum that has been endorsed by elected officials across the state.

The 50-page document, published by the consumer advocacy group Public Citizen and the progressive prosecutors network Fair and Just Prosecution on Thursday, comes as the US south-east struggles to recover from the deadly hurricanes Helene and Milton, both of which scientists have found were exacerbated by the climate crisis. It details the havoc wrought on New York by 2021as Hurricane Ida and 2012as Hurricane Sandy, and other deadly climate events such as extreme heatwaves across the US this past summer.

Warning comes after three cabinet members complain to Starmer about chancelloras proposed budget cuts

• UK politics live a latest updates

Downing Street has warned ministers to make their departments more productive rather than asking for more money, as the fractious negotiations over this monthas spending review enter their final stages.

Officials said on Thursday that many ministers would have to accept tough cuts to their departments as part of the spending review, which will be announced alongside the budget on 30 October.

Inspector dismissed emergency servicesa concerns that incident was similar to Skripal poisonings, KC says

Police officers urged paramedics and firefighters to treat the second novichok incident in 2018 as a drug overdose despite warnings from the ambulance and fire services that it had similarities to the first poisoning four months earlier in Salisbury, a public inquiry has heard.

The UK government believes the novichok was brought into Britain by agents tasked by Vladimir Putin to target the former spy Sergei Skripal, who had been settled in Salisbury after a spy exchange, the inquiry heard earlier this week.
