BBC Breakfast star opens show with 'traumatic' news as guest says 'I'm afraid'

A BBC Breakfast star opened Tuesday's (October 7) show with "traumatic" news as a guest admitted, "I'm afraid".

During today's edition of the hit morning programme, hosts Jon Kay and Sally Nugent updated viewers on the latest news from across the UK and around the world.

They were joined in the studio by Ben Thompson, who presented the sports segment, while Carol Kirkwood delivered regular weather forecasts.

Elsewhere in the show, Jon revealed: "It's exactly two years today since the October 7th attacks when Hamas surged from Gaza into Israel, killing around 1,200 people - most of them civilians. 251 hostages were also taken."

The show's Middle East correspondent Yolande Knell then reported on the ongoing "trauma" of the attacks and its consequences. In the emotional footage, a Gaza resident admitted: "I'm afraid that this ceasefire is not completed and the war will come back to us."
