The World Tonight

The government has announced an independent review of overpayments to carers - after ministers acknowledged some people had been pushed to "breaking point". We speak live to the Liberal Democrat leader - and carer - Sir Ed Davey.

Also tonight:

A bill to legalise assisted dying in England and Wales has been formally introduced in Parliament. We hear the view of the Silent Witness actor - and disability rights campaigner - Liz Carr.

And the composer of the score for a newly restored silent Sherlock Holmes film.

The United States has told Israel it may withhold some military assistance unless the provision of aid into Gaza is improved within 30 days. The demand was made in a letter sent to Israel's Defence Minister Yoav Gallant on Sunday. We get the reaction of Simcha Rothman - a member of the Religious Zionist party in Israel's ruling coalition - and the former US ambassador to Israel, Thomas Nides.

On the eve of an assisted dying bill being introduced in parliament, we speak to the Archbishop of Canterbury. And as Thomas Tuchel is named as Gareth Southgate's successor, we ask if a German manager can end the decades of hurt for England.

Lebanon is blaming Israel for an air strike in northern Lebanon that left 21 people dead. The strike hit the mostly Christian village of Aitou, far from the hotspots of the current conflict in southern Lebanon, Beirut and the Bekaa Valley.

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has pledged to ease regulations in some parts of the economy as he welcomed billions of pounds of inward investment.

And 35 years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, the legacy of East Germany continues to cast its shadow. A former Stasi officer has been convicted of murdering a Polish defector who attempted to cross from East to West Berlin in 1974.

As MPs pepare to debate whether to legalise assisted dying, the most senior Roman Catholic cleric in England and Wales has made a rare political intervention to urge people to oppose the change. Cardinal Vincent Nichols has been speaking to The World Tonight.

Also on the programme:

The Prime Minister has tonight rebuked his Transport Secretary after she called for a boycott of a ferry company that was poised to increase investment in the UK. We have the latest.

As the Nobel Peace Prize is awarded to a group of survivors of the atomic bombings in Japan - we hear what message one hopes it will send.

And 100 years after Sandy Irvine vanished alongside his climbing companion George Mallory as they attempted the conquest of Everest, a solitary boot belonging to him has been found. We hear from one of the mountaineers who found it - and from Irvine's great niece who's been told what's in it.

Twenty-two people have been killed and 117 injured in Israeli air strikes on central Beirut, Lebanon's Health Ministry said. BBC reporters heard loud explosions echoing from the site of a strike in Bachoura, a small Shia area in the Lebanese capital.

A trail of destruction has been left in Florida after Hurricane Milton struck. The aftermath includes political barbs between the two US Presidential candidates.

And the Nobel Prize for Literature has been awarded to South Korean writer Han Kang, who explores themes including grief, violence and patriarchy.

US officials are warning Hurricane Milton, which is scheduled to make landfall on Florida's western coast within hours, could be "deadly and catastrophic". Millions of citizens have fled those areas in the storm's path, but others have decided to stay. We spoke to one man preparing to bunker down with his girlfriend and dog.

US President Joe Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have spoken on the phone. The pair discussed Israel's response to an Iranian missile attack last week and pledged to remain in "close contact" in the coming days. The BBC's International Editor Jeremy Bowen has spoken to former Israeli leader Naftali Bennett, who believes Israel should target Iran's nuclear programme.

And a much maligned south coast town has inspired a piece of classical music. The Bognor Regis Suite was composed by local jeweller and musician Roger Clayden, inspired by his daily routine in the town.

The Israeli prime minister calls on the Lebanese people to reject Hezbollah. Benjamin Netanyahu used his appeal to claim that Israel had killed the man who would have been Hezbollah's next leader. We get reaction from a Lebanese MP allied with Hezbollah's political wing.

We speak to a Florida woman fleeing from Hurricane Milton, a fortnight after Hurricane Helene flooded her home. And has it been a good evening for meteor gazing?

As Israel has been mourning the mass killings and abductions by Hamas exactly a year ago, the conflict with Hezbollah in Lebanon has been escalating.

Plus, we hear an urgent call for the government to improve care for people with ME - or chronic fatigue syndrome - and we speak to one of the winners of the Nobel Prize for Medicine.

Across the Middle East it's expected that Israel will launch an attack on Iran soon, after the Iranian regime fired a volley of hundreds of missiles towards Israel on Tuesday. Meanwhile Israel continues to confront Hezbollah in Lebanon and Hamas in Gaza and the West Bank. An airstrike in the West Bank city of Tulkarm killed 18 people, including a Hamas commander. In this special episode of The World Tonight we're joined by the BBC's Security Correspondent Frank Gardner, as well as other guests and correspondents, to explain these complex and fast-moving events.

Proposals to change the law to give terminally-ill people in England and Wales the choice to die are to be voted on in parliament for the first time in nearly a decade. We hear from the Labour MP putting forward the bill, from an opponent and from a terminally-ill woman.

Our international editor Jeremy Bowen interviews the most senior leader of Hamas outside Gaza.

And on National Poetry Day we have a reading by Michael Rosen.
