The Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu has made a direct appeal to the UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres to remove UN peacekeepers from areas in south Lebanon where Israeli forces are fighting Hezbollah. Our reporter is with Israeli troops as they enter a Hezbollah-controlled village in southern Lebanon. We also hear from Jerusalem and Tel Aviv.

As an Israeli military offensive in northern Gaza continues, the UN agency says no new food has arrived since the start of October. Meanwhile, residents, who have been asked to evacuate the area by the IDF, hesitate as Hamas tells them to stay. We hear from one woman who is staying put for now, and from the former IDF general who addresses rumours circulating about a siege on the area.

Also on the programme: We hear tributes for Alex Salmond, the former first minister of Scotland who has died at the age of sixty nine; and Spanish scientists say they have found the final resting place of Christopher Columbus.

We ask whether Israel is now implementing the so-called generals plan - the mass expulsion of civilians and the creation of a military zone in the north? The World Food programme says no food has been able to enter northern Gaza since October the first. The Hamas-run health ministry says forty nine Palestinians have been killed in the north in the past twenty four hours. We hear from Gaza's Civil Defence and from our correspondent in Beirut.

Also on the programme: How the Russian opposition leader, Alexei Navalny foretold his death in prison in diaries he wrote while detained; and the blessing scam - cash to protect your loved ones from evil spirits.

President Biden says he is asking Israel to stop firing at UN peacekeepers in Lebanon, after two incidents in which UN personnel were wounded by Israeli shots. Jean-Pierre Lacroix, the head of UN Peacekeeping, tells us that it is important for the blue helmets in Lebanon to stay and keep positions manned, but that their ability to fulfill their mandate in southern Lebanon is "limited".

Also in the programme: We hear from the Acting Director of Al-Awda hospital in northern Gaza - Mohammed Salha - about how the week long Israeli siege of Jabaliya is affecting residents; and why authorities in Cameroon claim that President Paul Biya's health is now a matter of national security.

The UN Secretary General António Guterres has condemned Israel's firing on positions held by UN peacekeepers in southern Lebanon. Two more are reported to have been injured today, although the cause has not yet been established.

Also in the programme: the Nobel Peace Prize goes to an anti-nuclear group of survivors of the atomic bombs in Hiroshima and Nagasaki - we hear from one of them; and after partial remains of a British mountaineer who may or may not have scaled Everest in 1924 are found, we talk to his great-niece.

Israel hits the Lebanese capital as its troops reportedly fire at UN peacekeepers in the south of the country. We speak to a witness to the strikes in Beirut and a representative of UNWRA, the UN's organisation for Palestinian refugees.

Also in the programme: we hear from one of the men accused of raping Giselle Pelicot in the rape case that has shocked France; and a new report on the world's plummeting wildlife populations.

The UN agency for Palestinian refugees warns that food supplies in Gaza are diminishing. One quarter of Lebanon is now covered by evacuation orders, and around 1.2 million people are displaced as Israel attempts to cripple Hezbollah. It comes as US President Joe Biden holds his first phone call with Benjamin Netanyahu in months. We’ll hear from Naftali Bennett, Israel’s former Prime Minister, about Israel's options for its proposed retaliation against Iran.

Also on the programme: We hear from a Florida resident choosing to stay put as what could be the biggest storm in a century approaches; and our science correspondent chats with Nobel Chemistry Laureate Sir Demis Hassabis about his prize.

Hurricane Milton is expected to make landfall on Wednesday night near Tampa Bay and evacuation orders are in place for millions of people in Florida. So how is climate change making hurricanes worse and how will the US pay for the damage?

Also in the programme: more than one million people have been forced to flee their houses in Lebanon because of the war and there are concerns about tens of thousands of mostly-female, live-in domestic workers being abandoned by their employers; and a new report into the global second-hand clothes market says it can play a role in driving sustainable growth both in Europe and in Africa.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said a fourth division had joined the eight-day-old ground operation seeking to dismantle Hezbollah targets and infrastructure. Meanwhile, Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant told officers that the successor of assassinated Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah "was probably also eliminated". He spoke hours after Nasrallah's former deputy, Naim Qassem, insisted the Iran-backed group had overcome the recent “painful blows” from Israel and that its capabilities were “fine”. We hear from former peace negotiators and to young Israelis and Palestinians about the chances of an end to the violence.

Also on the programme: We hear from Florida, as what could be the biggest storm in a century approaches; and the mountaineer who almost died, stranded in the Indian Himalayas, on the moment danger struck.
