Benjamin Netanyahu and Gadi Eisenkot – the two men hoping to be Israel’s next prime minister – have very different views of the war in Iran. With no clear winner at this stage, Israel’s next steps in the conflict are also uncertain.

Qatar said it has presented a new potential peace plan to Iran, but Tehran says the ideas are unacceptable.

Meanwhile there are fresh reports that the US is preparing to attack Iran after the midterm elections.

And the Houthis in Yemen claim Saudi-backed forces have killed at least 14 people in the north of the country, as the Houthis attack Aden airport in the south-west.

A Ukrainian man is on trial in Hamburg after being accused of blowing up Russia’s Nord Stream gas pipelines to Germany, four years after one of the most dramatic acts of sabotage in modern European history.

Prosecutors say Serhii Kuznetsov played a leading role in a team of saboteurs that destroyed the pipelines, accusing him of a war crime. His defence has called for the case to be dismissed.

Cyber-security experts have used AI tools to uncover a major flaw in the programming language behind many websites, known as PHP. That has led governments, businesses and other organisations around the world scrambling to fix the problem, with many sites going dark. Analysts say hackers have made millions of attempts – using AI – to try to exploit the problem.

We hear from cyber researcher Ryan Austin, who discovered the PHP flaw, and ask our tech correspondent about the power and danger of AI.

07:23 We hear from Arab-Israeli voters – also known as Palestinian citizens of Israel – as Israel prepares for its first general election since the Hamas attacks of 7th October 2023. Polls show that neither Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu nor his main rivals have an easy path to forming a coalition government. That means small Arab-majority parties could hold the balance of power, depending on whom they decide to support.
