  Israel’s assassination of Hassan Nasrallah,  the long - standing leader of Hezbollah , is a major escalation in its war with the Lebanese militant group. It has, potentially, brought the region one step closer to a much wider and even more damaging conflict, one that pulls in both Iran and the US. So where is it likely to go from here? That largely depends on three basic questions. What will Hezbollah do? Hezbollah is reeling from blow after blow. Its command structure has been decapitated, with  more than a dozen top commanders assassinated . Its communications have been sabotaged with the shocking  detonations of its pagers and walkie-talkies , and many of its weapons have been  destroyed in air strikes . The US-based Middle East security analyst Mohammed Al-Basha says: "The loss of Hassan Nasrallah will have significant implications, potentially destabilising the group and altering its political and military strategies in the short term." But any expectation that this ve

  Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan has told fans "it's good to be back" after winning the best actor award at the International Indian Film Academy Awards. Khan was referring to his return to movies in 2023 after a hiatus lasting four years. "I think I have a little happiness from the audience this year because I worked (again) after a long time," he declared to crowds at a star-studded show in Abu Dhabi. Khan, a household name in India, is also one of the country's most popular stars with millions of fans domestically and abroad. He not only won the prize for his role in action thriller Jawan but also co-hosted the event in in the capital of the United Arab Emirates, a city with a big Indian population. Fireworks greeted his arrival on stage, and  the whole event  was peppered with tributes to him. "I love awards, I'm greedy about awards," he announced. "I just want to tell you it's good to be back." Khan's return to the bi

  US Vice-President Kamala Harris has made a rare trip to the US-Mexico border as she seeks to blunt Republican attacks on immigration. Harris, who last visited the border in 2021, accused Donald Trump of being focused on "scapegoating instead of solutions" and "rhetoric instead of results". Earlier on Friday, the Republican nominee argued Harris was "getting killed" on the issue and supports "the worst bill ever drawn" on border security. Polls suggest more Americans trust Trump over Harris on handling the border and illegal immigration. Cochise County, a conservative stronghold in Arizona that became a hot spot for record-high border crossings last autumn, provided a backdrop for the Democratic nominee to inspect the border wall, speak with local officials and project a message of toughness. She claimed Trump "did nothing to fix our broken immigration system" as president, adding that Republicans were trying to force a "false cho

  Tributes have been paid to Kris Kristofferson, the award-winning country singer and actor following his death at the age of 88. Dolly Parton wrote : "What a great loss. What a great writer. What a great actor. What a great friend." She finished her post on social media with the words "I will always love you", a nod to one of her most famous songs. Barbra Streisand said she "knew he was something special" the first time she saw him perform. Kristofferson and Streisand went on to share top billing in the 1976 remake of the film A Star Is Born. In the film, they sang together on love theme Evergreen, which won an Oscar for best original song, and Kristofferson won a Golden Globe for his acting. Streisand also asked him to appear on stage with her in London's Hyde Park in 2019. "He was as charming as ever, and the audience showered him with applause. It was a joy seeing him receive the recognition and love he so richly deserved,"  she wrote on

  Since becoming Britain's first full-time NFL coach in 2018, Durde spends most of the year focused on the daily grind of American football. Having joined the Atlanta Falcons, he was promoted in 2020 before taking another step up the coaching ladder with the Dallas Cowboys in 2021. The 45-year-old from Middlesex is now just one rung from head coach having been appointed as the Seattle Seahawks' defensive coordinator in February. "I haven't spoken about it much," he told BBC Sport while back in the UK during the off-season. "My family care about it, but it’s just something I do. "Coming home and talking to media, being around all the guys at NFL UK, it's made me think. It hasn't hit me till today really. It is crazy. "I was back in my old office and it was like I was here yesterday, so it’s a good reflection moment to say I am very grateful for this opportunity. I'm really excited for the future." And that future already looks bright
