| | | | | Sophie Zeldin-O'Neill | | 8 October 2024 | | | | Good morning. Last night, vigils were held across Israel - including at the festival where hundreds were killed last October. As Israel marks one year since the Hamas 7 October attack, we look at what's next for the region. Elsewhere, Interpol is asking the public to help crack cases involving unidentified murdered women, and in an interview with CBS News' 60 Minutes, Kamala Harris criticised Trump's position on Ukraine. We'll also catch up with Sophie Willan, the creator of Alma's Not Normal, and find out how to spot shooting stars in the sky tonight. | | | | | | |
 | | Image: Reuters | Israel marks year since Hamas attack as fighting rages on multiple fronts | | | Israel has held ceremonies to remember the victims of the mass killings and abductions carried out by Hamas on 7 October 2023, against a backdrop of continuing fighting in the Gaza Strip and Lebanon. A year on from the attack - which saw about 1,200 people killed and 251 taken hostage - Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to stop such an assault happening again, saying Israel's armed forces were “changing the security reality” of the region. Since 7 October, nearly 42,000 people have been killed during Israel's offensive in Gaza, according to the Hamas-run health ministry. As the day of commemorations unfolded, Israel said it had intercepted more than 100 rockets fired by Hezbollah in Lebanon, as well as projectiles launched by Yemen's Houthis and from Hamas in Gaza. Overnight, rocket warning sirens continued to sound in northern Israel, and several more towns were declared closed military zones, as Israel looks set to expand its ground offensive across the Lebanon border. | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Ready to shoot for the stars? | | The annual Draconid meteor shower is visible this year until 10 October in the northern hemisphere and will peak tonight.

Interpol asks public to help crack new missing women cases | | | European police are seeking to solve 46 cases as part of the second phase of a campaign aimed at finding the names of unidentified murdered women. BBC coverage of last year’s appeal helped to identify a British woman some 30 years after her murder. “We want to identify the deceased women, bring answers to families, and deliver justice to the victims,” Jürgen Stock, secretary-general of Interpol, which is co-ordinating the effort, said in a statement. “Whether it is a memory, a tip, or a shared story, the smallest detail could help uncover the truth.” | | | | | Harris says Trump would 'surrender' over Ukraine | | | US Vice-President Kamala Harris was pressed on issues including the Middle East, Ukraine, gun ownership and immigration during a one-on-one interview with CBS News' 60 Minutes . The recorded interview comes as Harris ramps up media appearances on a series of podcasts and TV networks amid criticism that she has made very few. Donald Trump also was invited to 60 Minutes, but declined. There is less than a month to go before election day in the race for the White House between the Democrat and her Republican opponent. | | | | |

| |  | 'The pain will never leave' and 'No 10 crisis' | | | The Guardian's lead story today looks back at a day of memorials held in Israel to mark one year since the 7 October attack in the south of the country. Meanwhile the i splashes with the story that Sir Keir Starmer has refused to rule out the British military getting involved "if Israel attacks Iran". Elsewhere, unnamed "senior Whitehall figures" are quoted by the Times as saying the "No 10 crisis" is "bigger than Sue Gray". One of its sources says "dysfunction in Downing Street is not the fault" of Ms Gray, who resigned at the weekend. The Daily Mail leads with a "demand" from the Conservative Party for the government to "come clean" on what Labour peer Lord Alli might have got in return for donations to senior politicians, after it was revealed he paid for clothing and holidays for Labour MPs, including the prime minister. | | | | | | | | |
