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.
