g7 countries "unanimously" condemn the iranian attack, and call on both sides "to exercise restraint". the white house urges israel not to strike back. whether and how the israelis will respond, that's going to be up to them. we understand that and respect that, but the president has been very clear, we don't seek a war with iran, we don't want escalation here, we will continue to help israel defend itself. and i am leased to set injerusalem, then against says israel will respond to in a time and manner of its choosing, we're still waiting to hear the decisions made in war cabinet. in tehran — some supporters of the iranian government celebrate the attack. iran says it has no intention of further strikes, but threatens a heavier assault, if israel launches reprisals.

hello, i'm matthew amroliwala. the white house has said it doesn't want to see the crisis in the middle east, escalate after iran carried out its first ever direct attack on israel. a us security spokesman, john kirby, said washington was not seeking a wider war. he told meet the press on nbc that it would be up to israel whether or how to respond — but the us wouldn't take part in any attack on iran. the israeli war cabinet has been meeting to discuss its response to the attack. a senior minister, benny gantz, said israel would exact a price from iran in its own time and fashion. the defence minister, yoav gallant, said the confrontation with iran wasn't over, and israel must prepare for every scenario. iran has warned of a much bigger response if israel retaliates. a meeting of g7 leaders, called by president biden, has "unanimously" condemned the iranian attack and

called on both sides "to exercise restraint". the group said they stood �*ready to take measures�* in response to further destabilisation by iran. the israeli military has announced it will be calling up two reserve divisions for operations in gaza. let's cross now to jerusalem and our chief international correspondent, lyse doucet. the obvious question, how will israel respond to all of this? that is the big question, _ israel respond to all of this? twat is the big question, and it hangs over the middle east and far beyond at this time yesterday, the question was when and how, where would iran carry out what was widely telegraphed escalation, widely telegraphed escalation, widely telegraphed attack against israel. an unprecedented attack watch from iranian soil, and we are now finding out that according to the iranian

foreign minister, arab foreign ministers that the attack would take place, the united states certainly had advance warning of it, and once it was carried out, israel declared victory, saying that it had foiled the assault by some 300 drones and missiles by iran, it said there had been very limited damage. and we are still waiting for the work cabinet to announce what decisions have been made, which of course come in the midst of what you have mentioned, matthew. the pressure from the united states to say let's draw a line under this, declare victory. you repelled this assault. iran is saying let's try a line under it, they are declaring victory, showing they are declaring victory, showing they were able to retaliate for the escalating attacks against its assets and its individuals operating in this area. most of all the attack on april one against its consulate annex on the dogmatic property in

the syrian capital of damascus. we are going to look at many issues in this programme was first let's look at this report from lucy williamson. last night, for a few hours, israel lived in its skies, fighterjets battling waves of iranian drones and missiles fired at israeli targets. the middle east's most dangerous conflict dropping its mask. from the ground, israel's air defences rose to meet threats by the dozen, a perilous display. watched from jerusalem... tel aviv. israel's defence minister called it one of the most dramatic nights israel had ever experienced. in iran, the launches

were celebrated one after the other on national television. punishment, iran said, for the strike on its consulate in damascus two weeks ago. translation: there is no intention to continue this operation. but if the zionist regime takes steps against the islamic republic on its soil or against areas linked to us in the region, our next operation will be far greater than this. the attacks was celebrated by iranians outside the british embassy, too, seeing them as punishment for the war in gaza and calling for israel's destruction. iran's government has said it's not seeking to escalate the conflict. tonight, a member of israel's war cabinet said there would be a response.

translation: to continue this operation. if this attack had been successful, the fallout for regional stability would be hard to overstate. and we stand by the security of israel and the wider region, which is, of course, important for our security here at home, too. what we now need is for calm heads to prevail. we'll be working with our allies to de—escalate the situation. last night was a test of israel's defences, but its leaders now face another political test over how to respond to this attack. a show of strength is needed, some argue, to maintain deterrence, but too much could push this region into a wider war. shoppers returned tojerusalem's main market today, shaken but sure of the response. i think if we react, it will show it will show our strength and it will prevent the next attack.

i hope. we can't live like this any more. they shot a lot of missiles on us. it's the first time ever in the history of the world that a country saw so many missiles on another country at the same time. so we got to responde, of course. others here believe israel faces a dangerous turning point and that alliances, rather than weapons, offer its best chance of protection long term. right now, all the west and all moderate muslim nations in this region do understand that. all right. this is a new game. and in this new game, it's about being moderate and willingness to move forward with some sort of a reconciliation process in this region, in this troubled region. this attack marked new territory in an old battlefield.

much hangs on the response. no chink in israel's armour last night, but the door to war is still open. so many across the region want to firmly shut the door on more calls for restraint coming from countries across the region and as we've been hearing from many western capitals, too. but the conversation, the messaging which matters most of all to israel is that conversation that presidentjoe biden of the us had with prime minister netanyahu in the early hours of the morning, even as that attack was going on. telling the prime minister that he should see this as a success, that israel was able to intercept, according to its figures to of projectiles fired at israel. so how much sway can the united states have with its most important regional ally? 0ur

correspondent gary doug 0'donoghue addresses that prospect. well, joe biden faces something of a dilemma here, because on the one hand, he says he has an ironclad commitment to israel's defence, but on the other hand, he desperately doesn't want to say escalation. he certainly doesn't want to get involved in an offensive war against iran, so he is urging restraint, trying to tell israel to take what happened last night as a kind of win, because so little damage was done, that one young girl injured. but he does know, of course, that israel will respond, and that is why he is urging restraint and trying to urge it to be as proportionate as possible. the question is whether or not the security council, which meets here in new york later on, will be able to bring any pressure to bear, and also crucially, reeta, what will russia, what will china do, because those of the two powers that can really bring influence to bear on tehran, and at the moment there is little by way of common understanding between them and the us.

iran today is saying it did inflict damage on israel, saying that it hit an air base in southern israel causing significant damage. that's not the account we hear from israel, with israel saying that the base was hit but the damage was limited. so did iran expect that the vast majority of the missiles and drones would be intercepted? 0r majority of the missiles and drones would be intercepted? or was it hoping to make more of a marked? 0ur defence correspondentjonathan beale looks at israel's air defences and also the help of key allies which help them bring the projectile down. the first thing to say, it was telegraphed,

0ur political correspondent nick eardley is in downing st and has been telling us more about what prime minister rishi sunak has been saying about the uk's involvement in last night's action. the concern in downing street has been really growing over the past few days, and friday appears to have been the critical moment for uk involvement. it was at that point that the prime minister summoned key ministers to discuss a response. they came up with a plan, and that led to the raf getting involved in shooting down some of those drones last night. now, the uk response has been in line with its international partners, but there's no doubt that this is a significant moment in london. the government here does have the ability to make these decisions on its own. it doesn't need the approval of parliament. parliament here hasn't actually been sitting over the past couple of weeks, so they wouldn't have been able to ask anyway. but the prime minister has made it clear that the priority now is de—escalation. here's what he told broadcasters earlier. last night, iran launched a barrage of missiles and attack drones

across the middle east towards israel. this was a dangerous and unnecessary escalation, which i've condemned in the strongest terms. thanks to an international coordinated effort which the united kingdom participated in, almost all of these missiles were intercepted, saving lives not just in israel, but in neighbouring countries likejordan as well. the raf sent additional planes to the region as part of our existing operations to counter daesh in iraq and syria. i can confirm that our planes did shoot down a number of iranian attack drones, and i want to pay tribute to the bravery and professionalism of our pilots flying into the face of danger to protect civilians. there will be questions in the uk parliament when it returns tomorrow about that decision. but i get the sense so far that the major parties, or at least most of the major parties in westminster, are behind the government. the labour party has said that it thinks the raf was right to get involved in shooting

down those drones. the liberal democrats have backed the strategy too. there are some mps i've spoken to who have some questions about exactly how that decision was reached, and i suspect when the prime minister likely makes a statement tomorrow, they will feature prominently. but the main concern in downing street and more broadly in uk politics is about the fear of escalation, the fear that any reprisals for what happened last night could lead to things spiralling out of control in the middle east. and i suspect that is what will dominate the debate here over the next few days. so there we heard the perspective from london from washington, but what about across this region? how are states in this region responding to these unprecedented events.

i am joined now by hussein ibish, senior resident scholar at the arab gulf states institute in washington. there have been calls of restraint across this region, when you take the powerful states of the gulf, saudi arabia, qatar, the united arab emirates, they're calling for restraint but they do don't want to be seen as backing israel at the moment. . �* , . moment. that's right. there are interesting _ moment. that's right. there are interesting rumours _ moment. that's right. there are interesting rumours that - moment. that's right. there are interesting rumours that the - moment. that's right. there are| interesting rumours that the uae moment. that's right. there are - interesting rumours that the uae may have been— interesting rumours that the uae may have been involved in coordinating, i'm have been involved in coordinating, i'm not— have been involved in coordinating, i'm not sure — have been involved in coordinating, i'm not sure if that's true, we know the jordanian— i'm not sure if that's true, we know the jordanian certainly did. and there _ the jordanian certainly did. and there is— the jordanian certainly did. and there is an _ the jordanian certainly did. and there is an interesting silence from iraq~ _ there is an interesting silence from had the _ there is an interesting silence from iraq. the gulf states, there are mixed — iraq. the gulf states, there are mixed feelings at the moment. first of att— mixed feelings at the moment. first of all they've been very impressed with the _ of all they've been very impressed with the performance of the iron dome, _ with the performance of the iron dome, some of them i have been trying _ dome, some of them i have been trying to— dome, some of them i have been trying to acquire and bahrain in the

it had no choice injoining the effort through the night. i it had no choice in joining the effort through the night. i think the felt effort through the night. i think they felt that _ effort through the night. i think they felt that way, _ effort through the night. i think they felt that way, i _ effort through the night. i think they felt that way, i think - effort through the night. i think they felt that way, i think they | they felt that way, i think they felt attacked themselves because there _ felt attacked themselves because there was every danger that certain drones— there was every danger that certain drones and — there was every danger that certain drones and missiles that would hit jordan— drones and missiles that would hit jordan and — drones and missiles that would hit jordan and that jordanian airspace could _ jordan and that jordanian airspace could he _ jordan and that jordanian airspace could be casually used for a major destabilising attack and they can't have that — destabilising attack and they can't have that. so in a sense, it's easy to understand why they took the actions — to understand why they took the actions they did. 0n the other hand, the one _ actions they did. 0n the other hand, the one country whose sociopolitical system _ the one country whose sociopolitical system has — the one country whose sociopolitical system has really been rocked to the core by— system has really been rocked to the core by the _ system has really been rocked to the core by the war in gaza isjordan. the egyptians have held it together, others _ the egyptians have held it together, others are _ the egyptians have held it together, others are troubled, angry, there are a _ others are troubled, angry, there are a lot — others are troubled, angry, there are a lot of— others are troubled, angry, there are a lot of angry people. the only place _ are a lot of angry people. the only place where there's been unrest that looks— place where there's been unrest that looks dangerous to the regime, dangerous to the status quo is jordan, — dangerous to the status quo is jordan, and i think the main reason jordan— jordan, and i think the main reason jordan has— jordan, and i think the main reason jordan has been fairly stable even though— jordan has been fairly stable even though people are upset and angrily protesting is that the opposition is not armed. and the fact the

looking to gaza and the european gaza hospital in the city of khan younis is one of the last functioning health care facilities in gaza. the hospital is also home to large numbers of displaced people, some of whom are camping out in hospital corridors. a small number of british doctors have been allowed to travel to the city and work in the hospital. one of those doctors joins us now. victoria rose is a plastic surgeon from guy's and st thomas's hospital in london andhas just spent the last two weeks at the european hospital. much of her work was on children under the age of 16. victoria rose, welcome here to the programme. why don't you just start by describing what you actually experienced when you were there? well, i've been to the gazan hospital before the were a couple of times, it was historically one of the most beautiful hospitals in gaza. it was built in this 1990s and it had huge gardens and it was a beautiful large hospital. it's now

become a sort of concentration camp, basically, for all of the displaced people. so a lot of families are camping in the grounds of the hospital, they've put up makeshift tents out of tarpaulin and carpets and within the hospital itself you can actually walk easily through the corridors because there are towels and tarpaulin all the way up both sides of the core door and behind those are family sleeping on mattresses. this extends into the stairwell, and then when you go onto the words it's a similar thing. you have a patient in a bed and then you have a patient in a bed and then you have their entire family camped out around the bed and the wife will be cooking on a stove, they'll be sort of, people, barbers cutting hair, it has become like a town. and... teiiii has become like a town. and... tell me more about _ has become like a town. and... tell me more about the patients, because

i heard you on the radio saying you were struck by the ages of people that you are actually treating, and even the whole workday was entirely different to one that usually operate yeah, the patient�*s demographic was quite shocking, in that i didn't operate on anyone over 65, and i know this because we have to submit our data to the who every morning. find to submit our data to the who every morninu. �* . to submit our data to the who every morninu. �* , ., ., , morning. and between the four of us, none of us treated _ morning. and between the four of us, none of us treated anyone _ morning. and between the four of us, none of us treated anyone over- morning. and between the four of us, none of us treated anyone over the i none of us treated anyone over the age of 65. i treated one person who is 5a and then everybody else was sort of in their 30s," of my work, as a plastic surgeon, was under 16 and these are the children that have been hit by flying missiles, source drop noel may be, a lot of under sixes hit by shrapnel. there was

gunshot wounds, huge number of burns from rocket glock blasts and tent blasts and those mainly took out the children, so most of the burns we saw were in children. it was completely the reverse of what we see trauma wires in london. and completely the reverse of what we see trauma wires in london. and more recentl i see trauma wires in london. and more recently i gather— see trauma wires in london. and more recently i gather those _ see trauma wires in london. and more recently i gather those on _ see trauma wires in london. and more recently i gather those on the - recently i gather those on the table, we've heard so many warnings about starvation, famine. you could see that, couldn't you, and the people? see that, couldn't you, and the --eole? . see that, couldn't you, and the eo le? ., ., see that, couldn't you, and the neale? ., ., ,., see that, couldn't you, and the --eole? . . y., , people? the main thing that you see is that everybody _ people? the main thing that you see is that everybody is _ people? the main thing that you see is that everybody is sort _ people? the main thing that you see is that everybody is sort of _ is that everybody is sort of epileptic and there wounds are not healing. we would do ride a wound coming clean the wound, get rid of all the trouble, all the dirt, and then close it, and i would go do a ward round a few days later and the wound will willjust have full and open, and that's due to malnutrition, huge infection rates as well due to malnutrition. it is as well due to malnutrition. it is

and western areas. towards the end of the night, perhaps reaching central england but the south—east will stay dry. north or south, temperatures up to eight celsius in most major towns and cities. tomorrow, a band of showers sweeping across the country, gusty winds, showers could be torrential with hail and thunder, sunshine in—between and those gusts up to 50mph or more on coastal areas and not far off that inland. a turbulent day with dramatic cloudscapes and changeable weatherfrom hour to hour. the lowest temperatures between 10—12 celsius. that low will be barrelling across the uk and into the north sea through the course of monday evening. tuesday, it will still have a sting in its tail, so stronger winds and showers across the north sea coast, anywhere from yorkshire to east anglia. gusty winds of up to 50mph here but towards the west, the weather will be drier and brighter and the winds

not quite as strong, not quite as chilly. but still around eight celsius in stornoway and typically ii—i3 elsewhere across the uk. towards the end of the week, another weak front moving across uk, bringing cloud more than rain and also this high pressure nosing in, an indication the weather should dry out. the main message for now is a very blustery day on the way tomorrow with big shower clouds but also sunny spells. bye— bye.
