Floridians prepare as Hurricane Milton lashes coast
Listen now
Description
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.
