Netanyahu orders more strikes on Lebanon despite threat to Iran peace deal | BBC News
Israel’s prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said “there is no ceasefire in Lebanon”. Speaking to Israelis in a social media video, he said the country’s armed forces were “continuing to strike Hezbollah with full force, and we will not stop until we restore your security.”
It comes after mass strikes by Israel in southern Lebanon killed hundreds of people and drew international criticism. The IDF has said it is carrying out further strikes against Hezbollah launch sites in Lebanon. Earlier the Israeli army ordered people to flee southern Beirut and warned of more attacks.
The US and Israel have denied that an end to fighting in Lebanon was part of the deal with Iran that led to a ceasefire. However ahead of key talks with Iran, President Trump has called for Israel to be “more low key” in its actions.
A statement said to be by Iran’s Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei has declared that Iran is the “victor” in the war with the US and Israel. It also said Iran would “move management of the Strait of Hormuz into a new phase”, suggesting Iran’s new policy of charging tolls for vessels to use the Strait may continue.
With the Strait still blocked, there are new warnings that global oil and gas prices will remain high into the medium term, leading to worldwide concerns over sustained inflation.

The state of ceasefire talks between the US and Iran has been thrown into question, after American forces launched fresh strikes …

The government of Iran has restored some access to the internet this week, after a lengthy blackout imposed on and off, for most of this year. Many Iranians are celebrating the move, which has allowed some people to contact friends and family members abroad for the first time in weeks. It could also be a lifeline for Iranians who depend on digital platforms to earn a living.
There is speculation that the move could be intended to show US President Donald Trump that the regime is willing to make some compromises at home.
But digital monitoring groups say the level of internet access is still poorer than it was before Tehran imposed its blackouts, first as a response to mass protests in January, and again at the start of the war with the US and Israel. Access to some sites is still blocked and analysts say two-factor authentication is not available in Iran, impeding many people’s access to platforms like Instagram, Facebook and WhatsApp.
Reha Kansara, from the BBC’s Global Disinformation Unit, tells us what restrictions Iranians still face, how people are trying to get around them, and how this partial restoration of internet access could play into the ceasefire talks between Tehran and Washington.

The public health risk from the current Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo has been raised from “high” to “very high” by the World Health Organization (WHO).
In an update on Friday, WHO head Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus also said the risk in the wider region in Africa was “high”, but it remained “low” globally.
The rare species of Ebola, known as Bundibugyo, has no proven vaccine and kills about a third of those infected. So far, the outbreak centred on DR Congo has resulted in 177 suspected deaths and 750 suspected cases.
It comes as scientists at Oxford University in the UK are developing a new vaccine that could be ready for clinical trials within two to three months.

Warning: contains details of alleged sexual offences and misconduct
Senior staff on Married at First Sight UK had an “unhealthy” focus on whether cast members were having sex, former workers on the show have told BBC News.
Producers would deliberately try to make contestants angry or upset for the sake of generating watchable drama, they say.
The former workers on the Channel 4 show have spoken to the BBC following a Panorama investigation into Married at First Sight UK (MAFS UK). Two former cast members say they were raped by their on-screen partners, and a third alleged a non-consensual sex act. Their on-screen partners have denied all the allegations against them.
Lawyers for CPL, the production company which makes MAFS UK, say the latest allegations are from a small minority of former workers, and the company’s “commitment to welfare… is evidenced by the high consecutive return rate of crew across the MAFS series”.
Channel 4 says contributor welfare is “always our primary concern across all productions”.
