6:03 am
substantial ground operation . substantial ground operation. >> meanwhile, the leader of hamas is believed to have met iran's foreign minister at a meeting in qatar , where they meeting in qatar, where they agreed to continue cooperation against what they call israel's occupation of palestinian territory. >> well, reaction to the planned escalation has come from all corners. the un relief agency says gaza is being pushed into an abyss, calling the situation the worst they've ever seen. russia has asked the un security council to vote on a draft resolution for an immediate ceasefire , with a vote expected ceasefire, with a vote expected tomorrow afternoon . tomorrow afternoon. >> and the reaction to the conflict is reverberating around the world with jewish communities in the north of england as well as london beanng england as well as london bearing the brunt of community tension yesterday saw a huge pro—palestinian rally in london. but opinion is divided on how
6:04 am
police should deal with the protests. >> well, we're joined in the studio by foreign affairs analyst james marlowe . good to analyst james marlowe. good to see you this morning, james. can we have a look at what we're expecting? because obviously the deadune expecting? because obviously the deadline passed 2:00 yesterday afternoon, uk time , but people afternoon, uk time, but people are still moving south from the north of the gaza strip and the operation, we're told, is imminent . imminent. >> i had the opportunity this morning to hear a briefing from the idf, just an update for journalists and what they have confirmed by the satellites that they are viewing. plus photography that they've taken is that hamas are blocking the roads and stopping the civilians from going south. and this is something that we expected from palestinian hamas. they're telling their people to stay where they are, but meanwhile, one of the big concerns for the idf is to hit the bunkers , the idf is to hit the bunkers, the tunnels beneath , beneath the ground. >> james, i'm just going to
6:05 am
interrupt you there because we have got 1 or 2 problems with your mic. so we're going to sort we're going to sort that out as we're going to sort that out as we do, let's head to tel aviv where the diplomatic correspondent for the israeli national broadcast, amichai national broadcast, mr amichai stein, us now. amichai, stein, joins us now. amichai, morning you . what's the morning to you. what's the latest? >> so the latest is we are expecting at some point , maybe expecting at some point, maybe even in the coming days , the even in the coming days, the ground offensive yesterday , we ground offensive yesterday, we heard the first time that idf spokesperson told us that the ground offensive is being prepared and is being completed. a preparation . so we know in the a preparation. so we know in the coming days we will see probably some kind of ground offensive . some kind of ground offensive. and you need to understand that the big story right now , the the big story right now, the diplomatic story, is what to do if the humanitarian issue in the south, you know, us officials told israel that you cannot have the southern area of gaza collapsing because let me remind that on friday, israel told all
6:06 am
the citizens in northern gaza to go down on and there is an attempt to find somehow to operate a humanitarian corridor . operate a humanitarian corridor. so the us told the israelis , you so the us told the israelis, you cannot cause a collapse in the humanitarian situation in southern gaza due to the israel is sorry due to the people from gaza going down. so these are the main two stories right now. other than that, unfortunately, the rockets are still flying from the terrorist organisation . from the terrorist organisation. israel is still striking massive targets inside gaza . but these targets inside gaza. but these issues, the humanitarian issue and the ground offensive, this will be probably the main issues of this week . of this week. >> yeah, the humanitarian issue is something that i suppose everybody foresaw because israel was telling everybody to evacuate and go south. hamas was telling people that they must not do that. and clearly there's a changing invective . you sense a changing invective. you sense from world leaders actually saying that the humanitarian
6:07 am
issueis saying that the humanitarian issue is paramount, but how can it be at the same time that prime minister netanyahu is saying the offensive is going to start, it's going to be air, sea and land . and they said, first and land. and they said, first of all, you know, israeli officials are telling all the people who live in the north, in gaza, whoever stays this is putting your life in danger. >> now we're seeing hamas stopping these people from going down. they're putting roadblocks and things like that to stop people in the north going down because they're using them as human shields. now israel can wait until a specific point. you can drag it on forever. now, when you're talking humanitarian issue again, israel is understanding that there will be probably some kind of humanitarian corridor to assist what's going on in the south. but at the end, israel is saying, listen, we are on a fight for our lives after this
6:08 am
massacre of this brutal , massacre of this brutal, murderous terrorist went in last week. so now israel is giving the time for the people in the north to go south. but at some point, it will have to start also the ground operation in, and that's hamas is trying to prevent people from going down again. he's using them as human shield. we saw satellite images of roadblocks and things like that. so israel is giving up to a specific point and then things will change. >> what is happening in terms of attacks on other fronts? because we're getting reports that there has been a successful rocket attack on tel aviv, that there have been attacks coming in from syria, that there have been more attacks from hezbollah in lebanon. what is happening there ? >> so we are seeing the 7 >> so we are seeing the northern front getting a bit of much more tenser than we saw in next week.
6:09 am
we saw hezbollah, the terrorist organisation , taking much more organisation, taking much more responsibility for attacks against israel , even issuing against israel, even issuing films and videos of his attacks . films and videos of his attacks. but and also the start of the real debate in israel, whether you should do a pre—emptive strike against hezbollah . strike against hezbollah. there's more and more calls, by the way, amongst israelis, let's say, leading to a peace people or experts saying you need to do it right now. but at this point, we're not seeing happening . it's we're not seeing happening. it's let's say hezbollah is doing a what's what you can call of annoyance when it comes to what's happening in northern israel , what's happening in northern israel, meaning it's not doing a full scale attack. it's allows the palestinians to do the attacks against israel and try to infiltrate this is these things are happening, but it's not going all the way. will it go all the way? we don't know yet because at the end, it's
6:10 am
only their decision . that's why only their decision. that's why we see more and more calls in israel. you need to do a pre—emptive strike against hezbollah before it can unleash its force against israel . its force against israel. >> and what part do we know of egypt? what part is egypt playing now . playing now. >> we are seeing all the countries by the way, not just egypt, as a part of mediating for some kind of let's say, hostage release by the terrorist organisations in in gaza. we are seeing egypt . we we're seeing seeing egypt. we we're seeing qatar, we are seeing turkey . we qatar, we are seeing turkey. we are seeing a lot of diplomacy deployed , romantic frenzy around deployed, romantic frenzy around the world. we are seeing european leaders talking with , european leaders talking with, um, arab leaders about this issue. we are seeing secretary blinken being in saudi arabia for the second time in less than 24 hours. so we're seeing all all everyone, let's say, talking with everyone about this issue . with everyone about this issue. again, two topics, a as
6:11 am
ceasefire and b , is the story of ceasefire and b, is the story of the hostages and the people who hamas kidnapped from from israel. these are the two issues. no. one is trying to talk about a ceasefire for. no one is trying to say that we are mediating to stop the hostilities right now. these are the main two issues when it comes to the diplomatic sphere. okay >> okay, amichai, good to leave it there. really good to talk to you this morning. thank you very much indeed. and we've sorted out mic issue with james out that mic issue with james marlow , foreign affairs marlow, the foreign affairs analyst. james, thanks for hanging us this morning hanging on with us this morning in terms of i mean, amichai was talking about ceasefires and saying, well, it's not an option at the moment. it struck me he struck all of us actually, russia is calling for an urgent vote at the un security council about a ceasefire. the nerve of, frankly. >> yeah, the irony . >> yeah, the irony. >> yeah, the irony. >> well, firstly, amichai picked up on many, many points and he was correcting many of the
6:12 am
points of the civilians going south, of which israel said and it's not clear exactly when israel will go in, but with regard to russia, with regard to your question on one of the reasons why russia has called for this is because the pressure on it from syria and from other countries that it has connected with le iran . and there's no with le iran. and there's no other reason , of course, the other reason, of course, the news around the world has now completely been blanked out with regard to russia and ukraine because everyone is focussed on israel. i had the opportunity last night to look back at some video and look back exactly almost , almost video and look back exactly almost, almost this time last week of what took place . and week of what took place. and just there is a reminder , it was just there is a reminder, it was more than 2500 palestine and hamas terrorists crossed the border into israel. they went to various kibbutzim moshavim , the various kibbutzim moshavim, the towns, the villages, into an israeli base, and they just
6:13 am
opened fire. now the israelis managed to capture dozens and dozens of hamas fighters and they've interrogated them. i've seen some of the video that has been released and they were asked what was your objective? and they said , our objective is and they said, our objective is just to come over and kill and behead and rape and do anything that we can. and they were asked, why were you asked to do that? and they said , because that? and they said, because that's what we were told to do . that's what we were told to do. >> and that's their life's objective. actually isn't it? it's what they're taught. >> well, palestinian hamas it's what they're taught. >> �*aell, palestinian hamas it's what they're taught. >> �*a doctrine,ilestinian hamas it's what they're taught. >> �*a doctrine, has.inian hamas it's what they're taught. >> �*a doctrine, has anm hamas has a doctrine, has an objective, has a policy , a objective, has a policy, a manifesto which says the complete destruction of israel, all of its citizens . plus it all of its citizens. plus it still has written down its clauses with regard to destroying jewish people all over the world. but nobody seems to focus on that now. i think what we're seeing on the streets of london, which i think they're going to move on to soon, and various other places across not justin various other places across not just in the uk but also in europe, is that people have just forgotten what war is all about.
6:14 am
israel never wanted this. israel is very much focussed on its industries , its leader when it industries, its leader when it comes to technology , erg to comes to technology, erg to artificial intelligence, when it comes to innovative . that's the comes to innovative. that's the reason why the abraham accords were signed. the main reason because the gulf states realised you . israel is a powerhouse when you. israel is a powerhouse when it comes to innovation . we want it comes to innovation. we want some of this. we can actually give our money. but of course now things are very much changed and this was the objective or one of the many objectives of palestinian hamas. how does anyone explain the failure anyone explain the giant failure there of israeli intelligence when it comes to this attack? >> i mean, i gather people are beginning to actually blame the prime minister for it, saying it's of government or it's a lack of government or something? nobody something? well, there is nobody seems to explain it seems to be able to explain it well, and it won't explained well, and it won't be explained for some time because first now there's and you have there's a war and now you have there's a war and now you have the opposition party led by the main opposition party led by benny gantz, who has come into the government. >> a war cabinet >> and there is a war cabinet which set up and benny gantz which is set up and benny gantz along gadi eisenkot, his along with gadi eisenkot, his second and a former along with gadi eisenkot, his seconof and a former along with gadi eisenkot, his secon of staff, and a former along with gadi eisenkot, his seconof staff, is and a former along with gadi eisenkot, his seconof staff, is on and a former
6:15 am
along with gadi eisenkot, his seconof staff, is on thati a former along with gadi eisenkot, his seconof staff, is on that warormer chief of staff, is on that war cabinet right now. there's war. there's plenty time there's plenty of time aftennards to have a probe into report exactly what took place and how place. i can and how it took place. i can tell you what been released, tell you what has been released, and is that on that friday and that is that on that friday night , of and that is that on that friday night, of course, not and that is that on that friday night , of course, not two days night, of course, not two days ago, but friday night, a week beforehand , there was activity beforehand, there was activity that was seen on the gaza border. it was picked up by the idf. it is something that has taken place for a long time. it was put down to another operational training course, either by hamas or palestinian islamic jihad, and it was left alone. of course, that was a fatal mistake . and this is fatal mistake. and this is exactly what took place in the 1973 war. and i was a young man at that point. but i remember exactly the front pages of the newspapers when i was ten years old. so at that time, israel was caught sleeping. but after a few daysit caught sleeping. but after a few days it managed to get the upper hand. days it managed to get the upper hand . and that's exactly what's hand. and that's exactly what's going to take place over here. the reason why there's lot of the reason why there's a lot of caution is because there are so
6:16 am
many underground tunnels inside of gaza. and that's where the fighters are. that's where hamas , palestinian militants , , palestinian militants, terrorists excuse me, are used the word terrorist, because i think that's okay, because at least 90 mean. and i looked at the pictures last night, at least 99 of these hostages are children aged from six months old, most of them 3 or 4 years old. one of them is 16 years old. one of them is 16 years old. that's at least 19. you've got elderly people there over the age of 80 and 85 years old. you have a holocaust survivor who was taken away. there families have admitted that there on daily medication, as you would expect for somebody over the age of 85 years old. if they don't get that daily medication , it's not clear what medication, it's not clear what will. it is quite clear what's going to happen. >> yes. yes look, james, we've got to leave it there, but it's good to see you this morning. thank you. >> well, it's 6:16. if you've just joined us, a reminder of the top stories this morning throughout thousands of palestinian in gaza
6:17 am
palestinian civilians in gaza continue to flee to the southern half of the strip after israel's order for over a million residents to flee as israel announces it is gearing up for a substantial ground operation in the un relief agency says gaza is being pushed into an abyss, calling it the worst situation they've ever seen . and thousands they've ever seen. and thousands descend on the capital here for huge pro—palestinian rallies , huge pro—palestinian rallies, including former labour leader jeremy corbyn. but with rising community tension and reports of hate crime , opinion is now very hate crime, opinion is now very much divided on how the police should actually deal with these sort of protests . sort of protests. >> now, earlier this week, robert kennedy junior , the son robert kennedy junior, the son of assassinated senator bobby kennedy, announced he will run for president. but as an indian
6:18 am
ascendant candidate. >> yes, he's actually an anti—vaccination activist and he's an environmental lawyer. his chances of winning the election next year are pretty slim . he could, though, impact slim. he could, though, impact a close race between others . close race between others. >> not everyone is happy, though not least his four siblings who've released a statement saying the decision of our brother to run as a third party candidate against joe biden is dangerous to our country. bobby might share the same name as our father, but he does not share the same values, vision or judgement . judgement. >> that's quite stern, isn't it? let's see what steve gill, the former adviser to the clinton and bush administrations , makes and bush administrations, makes of this. a very good morning. lovely to see you again this. did this come out of the blue or do you think he was always going to do something like this? i think that's been the plan for a while because the democratic party really shuttering party has really been shuttering him sideline, not really him to the sideline, not really giving access to actually giving him access to actually politically get involved in the
6:19 am
way he would like. >> but man wouldn't it be nice to pull up a chair at the kennedy thanksgiving luncheon in about a month or so? that's going to be a fun table to sit at. >> yeah, couldn't it just i mean, talk us through exactly who he is because he has proved to be hasn't he? >> a bit of a controversial character there as well. the kennedys often are . kennedys often are. >> well, and it's interesting because a lot of people in the united states are trying to figure out as an independent, will he pull more from joe biden if he's the democrat nominee or will he pull more from trump if he's republican nominee? and he's the republican nominee? and i think now, people don't i think right now, people don't really much him. really know that much about him. they name . they know they know his name. they know some kind top line some of the kind of top line issues he's talked about. issues that he's talked about. but i think a lot of people are putting on him, their own impressions what they think impressions of what they think he's for that that they think he agrees with them. and i think as he gets more specific on issues, he's going to lose some support. actually sides of the actually on both sides of the aisle. it will difficult aisle. and it will be difficult for him the way our process
6:20 am
for him in the way our process works election votes, to works to win election votes, to actually win the votes in states that are the key, get the that are the key, to get the electoral to get elected. electoral votes to get elected. so i see him as more of a spoiler and i think his spoiler status will will go down as people find out more about where he stands on the issues he actually stands on the issues or what sort a character is or what sort of a character is he then ? well, he has a lot of he then? well, he has a lot of the charisma that the kennedy family is known for and he is certainly a guy that that has an image of speaking bluntly and directly. again, whether it's on the vaccine issues, whether it's on questioning the us involvement in the ukraine, russia conflict and the amount of money that's being spent without a lot of accountability. so on those sorts of issues, he has some appeal to sort of that independent minded common sense voter in the us. but at the same time he is expressed a lot of opinions that are sometimes seen as as anti—semitic. and right now in the world, this is not a time to be seen that way in us politics. also not a strong proponent of gun rights . and i
6:21 am
proponent of gun rights. and i think there are a lot of other issues, including abortion in the united states, where he's trying sort have it both trying to sort of have it both ways. one hand, appealing to ways. on one hand, appealing to the list the us the pro—abortion list in the us and at the time, he took a and at the same time, he took a posture a few ago posture just a few months ago where he willing to draw where he was willing to draw the line abortion at a three line on abortion at a three month level and then backtracked on that. so again, i think as he gets into the arena and gets better defined on the issues , better defined on the issues, he's going lose support he's going to lose support rather gain it . rather than gain it. >> yeah, as you say, is this >> yeah, but as you say, is this spoiler then and it is difficult to position, if he to judge his position, but if he is sort of spoiler candidate , is a sort of spoiler candidate, who do you think steve will suffer more if he if he gains, you know, is he going to potentially sort of , you know, potentially sort of, you know, hive off democrat votes or republican votes? >> first of all, again, because of our electoral process, you have to win state by state with sort of this patchwork quilt across the united states. so he may do very well in new york. he may do very well in new york. he may very well do good in in california. but he's not likely to tip the balance in either of
6:22 am
those states against the democrat candidates. and i don't think he'll have a lot of sway and a lot of dark red and a lot of the dark red states, republican states either. think at the end of either. so i think at the end of the day, he probably hurts democrat s like biden worse democrats like joe biden worse than he hurts donald trump. the other question is how does he play other question is how does he play down the line ? what voters play down the line? what voters does turn out that may cost does he turn out that may cost democrats republicans , us democrats or republicans, us house seats or a us senate seats? and right now the map in the united states is poised, very strong for republicans very strong for the republicans to seats in the us senate. to gain seats in the us senate. my view would be how does he affect those races down ballot? do people stay home? do they support him? and then who do they vote for ? depending on who they vote for? depending on who he they vote for at he votes for, they vote for at the of the what the top of the ticket? what happens when they go further down and voting down the ticket and start voting for races and for local races? house races and us races and historically us senate races and historically , in any other time, if you were talking about the possibility of another kennedy candidate, you would expect him to have enormous support , particularly enormous support, particularly from his political side, but also from his family.
6:23 am
>> an enormous sums of money which we all know is needed to fight that sort of campaign. and yet he doesn't seem to be very popular with his own immediate family, does he ? family, does he? >> yeah, i think as you pointed out at the outset, the scathing response by his family is something that that i certainly didn't expect. i expected they would at least be kind to their family member and when we have the way us politics works these days, you have campaign finance limits that are so hard money that you have to use to run your actual campaign and then you have the soft money where unlimited donations can go into these super pacs to fund the tv commercials and everything else . commercials and everything else. i don't know that he has the big donors, the billionaires that can be putting tens of millions, hundreds of millions of dollars into super pacs that are really essential the american essential in the american political now, political scene. now, when you're to how much an you're limited to how much an individual give , you can you're limited to how much an indiv raise give , you can you're limited to how much an indiv raise so give , you can you're limited to how much an indivraise so much , you can you're limited to how much an indivraise so much money.m you're limited to how much an indivraise so much money. and only raise so much money. and that's what pays for your travel. that's what pays for the actual campaign apparatus. and
6:24 am
he may have a hard time on on both fronts . both fronts. >> mm okay. well, interesting times ahead. interesting to have a third party candidate anyway , a third party candidate anyway, steve, as always, it's good to see thanks, see you. thank you. thanks, guys. see you. thank you. thanks, guythank you. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> right. >> right. >> you think the name would i wonder if those people who are out saying, oh, we're going to support doing it support him are just doing it for name ? for the name? >> well, name is magic , >> well, the name is magic, isn't it? there's no doubt there. when you get a sort there. but when you get a sort of scathing reference like that from own family, that from your own family, that doesn't look too good. and you need as he said there, you need to tonnes of money to fight an election like this. >> it seems odd and it's a very what you might call a colourful character. >> there's all sorts of aspects , >> there's all sorts of aspects, not only to his political life, but i think to his personal life as well, which make him sort of tabloid fodder. you might i tabloid fodder. you might call i have say, didn't think his have to say, i didn't think his speech the bit we saw. speech was the bit we saw. >> he didn't to top >> he didn't seem to be on top of game. very magic, was of his game. not very magic, was it? it was no, it wasn't. >> but anyway. but anyway, it would be. closely. would be. watch closely. interesting third
6:25 am
interesting to see a third character in the running. >> it's been a long time, hasn't it? i mean, the ross perot back in day that sort of in the day and all that sort of thing. never get anywhere. thing. they never get anywhere. but life interesting, but anyway, life interesting, though. cold though. were you cold this morning? >> not cold the moment, >> i am not cold at the moment, but anorak day today but it was anorak day today coming in. i think it's cold out there. funnily enough, it's quite in here in the studio quite warm in here in the studio today. moaning. today. so i'm not moaning. >> what jonathan's >> no. let's see what jonathan's got hello there. very good >> hello there. very good morning. i'm jonathan vautrey here with your gb news weather forecast by met forecast provided by the met office. a of fine office. there is a lot of fine weather throughout weather around throughout the second the weekend second half of the weekend and that to high pressure that is thanks to high pressure that is thanks to high pressure that with us across uk that is with us across the uk helping to things helping to keep things relatively settled. we do still have showers to watch out have some showers to watch out for, primarily northern for, primarily across northern areas will be a areas of scotland. it will be a cloudier day here as they push their might see their way through. might see a few fringing eastern few showers fringing eastern coastal of east as coastal areas of east anglia as well. there will just be a bit of east and the of a breeze in the east and the north, but elsewhere, light winds, a sunshine to be winds, a lot of sunshine to be had staying largely dry as had and staying largely dry as well. still need a well. you may still need a layer, though, as you head outside. not going outside. temperatures not going to than 9 13 c

6:32 am
>> well, he's actually a patron of welsh union. of the welsh rugby union. >> right. good. as long >> all right. oh good. as long as was, there was a wales as there was, there was a wales at game that were not at the welsh game that were not just english. just at the english. >> they're represented. yeah. >> now what, sir jim ratcliffe is, is about to get is he. we think a quarter of man united. >> yeah. it wasn't really really a development we expecting a development we were expecting it shift that man it wasn't the shift that man united fans were expecting. i was in executive area as at was in the executive area as at manchester oh, you would manchester united. oh, you would be. would ago >> you would be ten days ago chatting fans and chatting to the united fans and they say aiden full sale only we want a full sale only we want somebody come completely somebody to come and completely take off. take this thing off. >> lock stock and >> the glazers lock stock and barrel then we can move barrel and then we can move fonnard. now is the issue fonnard. now this is the issue as next month, club has as of next month, the club has been for sale for 11 months. been up for sale for 11 months. so almost talking about so we're almost talking about a yean so we're almost talking about a year. moaned about long year. we moaned about how long chelsea mean, that was a chelsea took. i mean, that was a hostile takeover because extraordinary circumstances, hostile takeover because extraordinaithe rcumstances, hostile takeover because extraordinaithe ukraine1ces, hostile takeover because extraordinaithe ukraine war, because of the ukraine war, roman to had to roman abramovich had to had to sell the thing. but now we're seeing officially, now sell the thing. but now we're seeiqatari cially, now sell the thing. but now we're seeiqatari bidly, now sell the thing. but now we're seeiqatari bid has now sell the thing. but now we're seeiqatari bid has walked ow sell the thing. but now we're seeiqatari bid has walked away. the qatari bid has walked away. five they've made. now they five bids they've made. now they valued at £5 plus valued it at £5 billion plus 1 billion to upgrade trafford valued it at £5 billion plus 1 billitheo upgrade trafford valued it at £5 billion plus 1 billi the trainingie trafford valued it at £5 billion plus 1 billi the training ground.'afford valued it at £5 billion plus 1 billi the training ground. and'd and the training ground. and another billion to clear the
6:33 am
debt. not enough for the glazers. wanted £6 billion glazers. they wanted £6 billion in us to ask the in cash. it leads us to ask the question, do the glazers actually want out of manchester united radcliffe bid united because the radcliffe bid would see them take 25% and apparently they're close to agreeing this steven 25% of the club that values it at 1.5 club and that values it at 1.5 billion. what's interesting is that new york stock exchange that the new york stock exchange values 2.7 billion. values it only at 2.7 billion. but as know business, but as we know in business, a company is worth only what a seller is bidding is willing to p“- seller is bidding is willing to pay. in this case, they're they're willing to pay a lot more because it's one of those one the probably the only one of the probably the only franchise club in the franchise with any club in the whole world doesn't to whole wide world doesn't have to win it's still win trophies. and it's still it's the name is huge it's still the name is huge isn't it? they they make money without being successful. without even being successful. >> can it a huge cash >> and so can it be a huge cash cow if they've billion cow if they've got £1 billion worth of because the worth of debt because the glazers loaded debt glazers have loaded debt onto the it doesn't it's the club, it doesn't mean it's not profitable. >> they use that debt to buy the club. so it's effectively a mortgage. it's not debt, i mortgage. it's not a debt, as i understand it. right. but it's still debt nonetheless. and the qatari to were asking qatari bid wanted to were asking to. they they were
6:34 am
to. well, they were they were promising to clear it. and that's the united fans were that's why the united fans were disappointed because is this keeps glazers the club keeps the glazers in the club and don't want to let go of and they don't want to let go of this thing. and the fans this thing. and the united fans are hugely disappointed because there's protests outside the ground regular basis now to ground on a regular basis now to get them and looks like get them out. and it looks like that's going anywhere soon. that's not going anywhere soon. okay very much indeed. >> we'll see you later. >> we'll see you later. >> from one national obsession to another, and that's the weather, because usually at this time and it's doubt time of year and it's no doubt at moment the forecast at the moment the forecast saying arctic blast saying an arctic blast apparently which apparently in britain, which is going bring snow, and going to bring snow, frost and subzero temperatures this weekend britain weekend as parts of britain brace minus four oh. brace for minus four oh. >> time. temperatures in >> data time. temperatures in southern england could though rocket to ten degrees or be ten degrees. no, no. what's this ? degrees. no, no. what's this? nathan rousey. explain it, nathan rousey. explain it, nathan . what's going on? nathan. what's going on? i didn't understand those words. >> it's getting a bit colder, right? we have got cold front right? we have got a cold front moving down or this is actually coming. we talked about arctic blast. coming from the blast. this is coming from the north. we were talking last week about temperatures degrees about temperatures of 25 degrees when had lot of rain. when scotland had a lot of rain. the was over the cold front was over

6:40 am
6:41 am
>> 641 good morning. let's have a look at the papers today. and of course, of course, the crisis in israel is dominating the front pages . front pages. >> and yes, the observer looks at israel's warning to those fleeing gaza . the next stage is fleeing gaza. the next stage is coming , they say. coming, they say. >> is israel poised for gaza invasion? says the sunday times and the telegraph also leads with israel's ground operation coming up in gaza , sunday mirror
6:42 am
coming up in gaza, sunday mirror escaped to hell as it features the powerful image of a palestinian man carrying an injured child . injured child. >> well, the sunday express highlights the prime minister's words. we stand by israel always is. >> well, let's go through some of the headlines this morning. the deputy editor of spiked fraser myers, author and broadcaster nikki hodgson . good broadcaster nikki hodgson. good to see you both this morning . i to see you both this morning. i don't know how to phrase this, but i'm struck by the front pages that they seem they're not it couldn't in any way say they are anti—israeli. but the fact that there is so much focus on the palestinian side of this, does that flavour things in a way because i it's so hugely difficult, isn't it, when you look at the awful the horrific mc attacks on israel , but you mc attacks on israel, but you also look at what is happening in gaza and the concern for civilians there. and that doesn't seem overly balanced to
6:43 am
me . me. >> i mean, i suppose i was thinking about this as well actually. i suppose at the beginning of the week we were commenting on immediately what beginning of the week we were com happened n immediately what beginning of the week we were com happened n ii israel. ately what beginning of the week we were com happenedn iiisrael. and what had happened in israel. and i think the focus really is now on what happen gaza. so what will happen in gaza. so i guess that's it's been guess that's why it's been covered mean , it's covered that way. i mean, it's very it's a very very difficult. it's a very difficult if difficult job if you're a newspaper editor know what newspaper editor to know at what point had too much point you've had too much coverage one side maybe point you've had too much cove look one side maybe point you've had too much cove look biased. side maybe point you've had too much cove look biased. ide maybe point you've had too much covelook biased. i personallyrbe you look biased. i personally don't it is at that point don't feel it is at that point yet. i think it's just this very real humanitarian disaster that may or may not happen depending on the other. >> i thought front pages on the other. >> i beginning front pages on the other. >> i beginning to ront pages on the other. >> i beginning to reflect ges on the other. >> i beginning to reflect both were beginning to reflect both sides little more. sides a little bit more. yeah, they balance their they tried to balance their picking. they're picking. if they're if they're picking. if they're if they're picking of somebody in picking a picture of somebody in gaza who's been terribly injured, they're also putting alongside it a story from the israeli point of view. i think they are struggling, you're right, with with how they're trying to balance things. >> think that's right. >> yeah, i think that's right. i suppose directly suppose it is sort of directly following the mean, following the story. i mean, it's that , you know, it's tragic that, you know, there danger that we will there is a danger that we will forget quite quickly the horrors that happened just this time last week. but the focus is
6:44 am
naturally on the palestinian side at the moment, given israel is preparing this all out ground air and sea invasion . so it air and sea invasion. so it remains to be seen what will happen there. people are obviously worried about the casualties . understandably, as casualties. understandably, as in any you know. >> well, you've been looking at us today where they've been talking about and i've seen a lot more of this about the amazing lifeline that whatsapp is beginning to provide. yeah, it's unusual because normally we hear stories about how awful social media is and what a malign force it is on the world and spreading misinformation, blah, blah, blah. >> here we see how essential >> but here we see how essential it become , particularly it has become, particularly whatsapp, not for only sharing information, but for, you know, families knowing whether their sons and daughters are alive, knowing their location . an lots knowing their location. an lots of people in the us, in in the uk, they will have relatives either on the israeli side or in gaza. and they, you know , now gaza. and they, you know, now they can sort of keep up to date with what's on and it
6:45 am
with with what's going on and it seems as if there's also been a case where whatsapp has been absolutely vital in saving lives. there was this mother's whatsapp group in beeri in the kibbutz that was attacked near the gaza border on saturday, and people were sharing vital information like how do you lock a room properly? and yes , a room properly? and yes, they've all got safe rooms. >> they were all talking about rushing to safe rooms, but then immediately contacting each other and saying, how do i lock the door of my safe? how do i getand also giving real time >> and also giving real time updates of i've heard the gunmen here, you know, run , run this here, you know, run, run this way potentially , you know, way and potentially, you know, many of people's lives will many tens of people's lives will have been saved. >> you know, and this is just an ordinary shared ordinary whatsapp group shared by the kibbutz. this is by mums in the kibbutz. this is just mums giving, by mums in the kibbutz. this is just know, mums giving, by mums in the kibbutz. this is just know, givingnums giving, by mums in the kibbutz. this is just know, giving ,ums giving, by mums in the kibbutz. this is just know, giving , sharinging, you know, giving, sharing information in a way that potentially will have saved lots of lives. potentially will have saved lots of [lies potentially will have saved lots of [i mean, obviously we know potentially will have saved lots of lithat|n, obviously we know potentially will have saved lots of “that community! we know potentially will have saved lots of “that community was know potentially will have saved lots of “that community was visited that that community was visited with . i think with absolute tragedy. i think around 10 people who lived around 1 in 10 people who lived there were killed, there were were killed, you know, dead summation. know, literal dead summation. but life saved is something
6:46 am
but any life saved is something to be grateful for. >> well, yeah, indeed . look, it >> well, yeah, indeed. look, it is 645 if you've just joined us, let's remind you of the main news this morning. and thousands of palestinian civilians in gaza are continuing to flee to the southern half of the strip after israel's order for more than a million to evacuate as israel announces its gearing up for a substantial ground operation in and the un relief agency says gazais and the un relief agency says gaza is being pushed into an abyss, calling the situation the worst they've ever seen . worst they've ever seen. >> and the thousands have descended on london for a huge pro—palestinian rally , including pro—palestinian rally, including former labour leader jeremy corbyn. >> but rising community tensions and reports of hate crime will opinion really is divided on how police should deal with the protests this . nikki and fraser protests this. nikki and fraser still here. nikki let's have a
6:47 am
look at the mail on sunday. should we? civil service agents are backing ng extinction rebellion according to this man who threw glitter over keir starmer. yeah so the guy in question, he's called yaz. >> ashmawi. i think it is. and you would have seen at the conference he was the guy that interrupted keir starmers speech and glittered him and labour have taken opportunity to have now taken opportunity to use that marketing kind of use that as a marketing kind of been quite positive for them actually. i actually don't actually. and i actually don't think news because i think this is news because i think this is news because i think we've known this for think we've known about this for quite making quite a while, but he's making the distinction between extinction rebellion the extinction rebellion and the just protesters . and just stop oil protesters. and he's the just just stop oil protesters. and he's oil the just just stop oil protesters. and he's oil protesters the just just stop oil protesters. and he's oil protesters haven'tst just stop oil protesters. and he's oil protesters haven't got stop oil protesters haven't got the support of civil servants and kind of senior figures in government and people work government and people that work around and around the industry and extinction have and extinction rebellion have and that perhaps because they've been bit more been a little bit more restrained in their efforts , restrained in their efforts, they have allowed the civil servants who are kind of really pro climate stuff to get on board with them. he hasn't named names, you know, so he's sort of i mean, it's kind of a bit of i
6:48 am
don't maybe bit of don't know, maybe it's a bit of an exaggeration how much an exaggeration about how much support there somebody an exaggeration about how much supporgoode somebody an exaggeration about how much supporgoode sor,|ebody an exaggeration about how much supporgoode sor,|eboiknow, saying good work or, you know, somebody with somebody directly working with the different, the group. it's quite different, isn't , yeah. i think isn't it? so yeah, yeah. i think we'll to wait what we'll have to wait and see what actually we'll have to wait and see what act| no,r we'll have to wait and see what act|no,r enough . it's a it's >> no, fair enough. it's a it's a a it's an odd one. a it's a it's an odd one. >> i find it quite alarming , >> i find it quite alarming, though. i mean, if it is if it is the case that there are there is the case that there are there is large support for extinction rebellion, because should is large support for extinction rebellinourselvesse should is large support for extinction rebellinourselvesse sohould is large support for extinction rebellin ourselves se so hould ago remind ourselves not so long ago they themselves to they were glueing themselves to rome. know , i rome. yeah. and you know, i think they longer think because they no longer carry out these tactics, people have assumed this is oh, have assumed that this is oh, this sort of sensible this is the sort of sensible side of the green movement . but side of the green movement. but we should remind ourselves what their they want their goals are. they want carbon neutrality by 2025. that's in two years time. so if civil servants genuinely think that that's possible or desirable , i'd be interested to desirable, i'd be interested to know which hospitals are they planning to close down? how many flights are they planning to ground? how many old ladies boilers to turn boilers do they want to turn off? i it a deranged off? i mean, it is a deranged proposal and it's quite alarming that, you know, supposedly sensible people aren't running
6:49 am
away a mile away from this . away a mile away from this. >> and this will intrigue you, too , because i know you're a bit too, because i know you're a bit geeky like me and an and the asteroid bennu that nasa went up to get samples and brought it back down to it. it's an incredible story . anyway, what incredible story. anyway, what is the samples ? that's what is in the samples? that's what we need to know. let's talk to andy our favourite andy lound, our favourite planetary scientist who joins us now. andy have nasa actually said anything yet or do we get an unveiling today of these analytics ? analytics? >> good. good morning . yes, >> good. good morning. yes, we've had some preliminary data push through, which is quite interesting . in fact, there was interesting. in fact, there was that much material there when they when they opened the canister, the materials started to which caused to spill out, which caused a delay to collect the materials because they've got about 250g of materials far more than expected. and some of the preliminary stuff which is sort of a look see to see what's there, has been very exciting. um water bearing clays are actually within the sample, which is always been thought
6:50 am
that they might be available in an asteroid. and this has been a very important discovery for a number reasons . and one, it's number of reasons. and one, it's thought water bearing clays thought that water bearing clays were brought to the earth when the starting to form the earth was starting to form 4.5 billion years ago. so and these were the materials that were started to build up our planet itself. so that's an important discovery . three lots important discovery. three lots and of carbon , which is and lots of carbon, which is quite . is there 5% by weight? quite. is there 5% by weight? big big, important discovery. and again, this is thought to be where the building blocks of life itself were actually brought to the earth magnet, which is usually always get from asteroids and meteorites anyway . asteroids and meteorites anyway. but nonetheless, lots of samples of that is in it as well . so of that is in it as well. so far, just the look see has provided the evidence to suggest this is exactly the material we wanted to grab hold of. and heaven knows what is going to be discovered when they actually go into detail. but there into extreme detail. but there is so much material of it, it'll be scattered the world, is so much material of it, it'll be scafor'ed the world, is so much material of it, it'll be scafor display the world, is so much material of it, it'll be scafor display andle world, is so much material of it, it'll be scafor display and partly.d, partly for display and partly for research and 70% of the sample is actually going to go
6:51 am
into cold storage for future scientists using techniques that have yet to be devised to look at. >> it's a fascinating project. the whole thing. when did we first get this canister back? how long has it been on earth ? how long has it been on earth? >> oh, it's just been back just a little over a was it two weeks now? so it's not that long ago that the mission started in 2018. a long wait 2018. so it's been a long wait for us to actually get get this done. um, but the opening of the canister has taken quite a few days, partly because you wanted to open it in a clean environment . special laboratory environment. special laboratory in actually got the, in texas has actually got the, the canister . and because as the canister. and because as i said, when they started to open the the exciting bit the canister, the exciting bit happened there was dust happened is there was dust all over they had to over the place and they had to immediately try and immediately stop to try and analyse what earth going analyse what on earth is going on is this dusty material analyse what on earth is going on thes this dusty material analyse what on earth is going on the spacecrafty material analyse what on earth is going on the spacecraft itselferial analyse what on earth is going on the spacecraft itself that from the spacecraft itself that somewhat gone wrong? and it was black material the black material from the spacecraft is it material spacecraft or is it material from the asteroid? so there was a then trying to a delay then in trying to actually get the collection sorted out because they need to collect piece of material collect every piece of material they can because it's so vitally
6:52 am
important to us. it's fascinating when you said it was very, very quickly, andy, when you said it was water bearing clay, does that mean is clay, does that mean there is water in what they've found there ? yes. yes. the water is there? yes. yes. the water is actually bound up in the clay itself. and this is this is an important a lot of important discovery for a lot of reasons distribution reasons. one, the distribution of to the earth in of this material to the earth in the days. it also the early days. and it also means that the asteroids possibly mined for that possibly could be mined for that water the future , which they water in the future, which they split water oxygen split up the water into oxygen and and use and hydrogen. and again, use that as fuel for spacecraft or combine again to use for combine it again to use for electricity and heat as a hydrogen fuel cell. so, yes , hydrogen fuel cell. so, yes, it's a very big discovery that is . and that there is so much is. and that there is so much water in the solar system. it's unbelievable. yeah >> wow. i mean, that's in itself is fascinating and quite new, isn't really? isn't it, really? >> really good to >> yeah. andy, really good to seethank you. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> much. does >> thanks very much. does that excite oh unbelievably. >> it just gives much >> it just gives you so much sort hope, you know, sort of hope, i guess. you know, sort of hope, i guess. you know, so things going on in so many bad things going on in the world. and reminder so many bad things going on in thnthenrld. and reminder so many bad things going on in thnthe greatness, reminder so many bad things going on in thnthe greatness, the reminder so many bad things going on in thnthe greatness, the great nder of the greatness, the great things that humanity can achieve , you know, when, when we set out. >> because the exciting thing
6:53 am
about is that about finding water is that there life, about finding water is that tipossibility life, about finding water is that tipossibility of life, life, about finding water is that tipossibility of life, and, ife, about finding water is that tipossibility of life, and, you a possibility of life, and, you know, just the fact that can know, just the fact that we can even fact that even do this, the fact that people interested, that people are so interested, that we're interested in discovering the universe the origins of our universe is just to great speaking of water, i knew you'd say that. just to great speaking of water, i kryeah,nu'd say that. just to great speaking of water, i kryeah, welliay that. just to great speaking of water, i kryeah, well .y that. >> yeah, well. >> yeah, well. >> well, it's a precious resource. is water. nikki. the sun on sunday is saying that we're more of us are sharing bath water. >> well, did some people have a stop sharing bath water because when i when i was growing up in in wakefield as a northerner, as a family, we shared bath water because there wasn't enough to go around. it's what you just did on a sunday with your brother sister, isn't you brother or sister, isn't it? you didn't necessarily didn't you didn't necessarily get you get in the same bath, but you shared this shared the water. this is this story actually saying story is actually saying that people are sharing baths. yeah. and because because they're feeling broke . basically 1 in feeling broke. basically 1 in 6 baths with a partner or friend. paul shows . i mean, is it a paul shows. i mean, is it a friend in a loose term? i don't know. special friend. friend with special friend. exactly but yeah, apparently people in leeds

7:02 am
is breakfast on gb news. >> well, it's been more than a week since that horrific hamas terrorist attack on israel that slaughtered 1300 people. since then , more than 2000 people have then, more than 2000 people have been killed in israel's retaliation . retaliation. >> thousands of palestinian civilians in gaza continue to flee to the southern half of the strip after israel's order for over a million residents to go there . even hospitals have been there. even hospitals have been told to evacuate it, a move the world health organisation has said is tantamount to a death sentence. >> well, the people of gaza now await their fate after israel announced its gearing up for a comprehensive offensive involving air, land and sea . the involving air, land and sea. the idf statement added that soldiers have a strong emphasis on a substantial ground operation . operation. >> meanwhile, the leader of hamas is believed to have met
7:03 am
iran's foreign minister at a meeting in qatar , where they meeting in qatar, where they agreed to continue cooperation against what they call israel's occupation of palestinian territory . territory. >> well, reaction to the planned escalation has come from all corners . the un relief agency corners. the un relief agency says gaza is being pushed into an abyss . they say it's the an abyss. they say it's the worst situation they've ever seen. meanwhile, russia has asked the un security council to vote on a draft resolution for an immediate ceasefire , with an immediate ceasefire, with a vote expected tomorrow afternoon i >> well, our reporter charlie peters is on the ground in tel aviv and joins us now live a very good morning to you, charlie. what's the latest out ? charlie. what's the latest out? >> yes, well, last night the idf said that they would be striking the gaza strip in that coordinated and complex attack from the air, land and sea . from the air, land and sea. >> but those comments came as the un said that the humanitarian situation in the gaza strip is unten ble. we still don't have clear details
7:04 am
on the latest from gaza on how many civilians have fled south after that warning 48 hours ago now that they needed to get out of the north of gaza and head south of the wadi gaza last night's briefing with the idf's chief spokesperson, he said that hundreds of thousands had fled but wouldn't give a precise number and any opportunity to learn further about that situation was interrupted as rocket fire came in on tel aviv. and the press briefing was interrupted as we all took shelter. last night's rocket attack was the first successful rocket attack on tel aviv in central israel since the war started , with at least one large started, with at least one large missile landing about a few miles south of our location in the southern suburbs of the city. but the iron dome air defence system does continue to intercept the vast majority of missiles sent in from gaza . but missiles sent in from gaza. but also last night there were more troubling developments in the north. we saw lebanese hezbollah release footage of them
7:05 am
launching anti tank guided missiles on israeli positions in the north of israel. and we saw the north of israel. and we saw the resumption of artillery fire coming in from syria. and this comes as last night's we saw footage of the iranian foreign minister meeting with hamas chief political leader as tensions grow and people fear that iran may start to engage in these hostilities as as the idf push into the gaza strip could this localised conflict become more regional and therefore more devastating , which is a huge devastating, which is a huge international concern? >> charlie , obviously when >> charlie, obviously when countries like iran are getting more involved, when syria is, as you say , attacking as well , or you say, attacking as well, or missiles being fired from syrian territory, which of course is russian backed, this is i mean, this just escalates it out of control . control. >> absolutely . and in the north >> absolutely. and in the north of israel, they are facing an
7:06 am
area known to analysts as the shia crescent. that stretch of land from iran through iraq , all land from iran through iraq, all the way from syria into lebanon, where the irgc , the islamic where the irgc, the islamic revolutionary guards corps, the asymmetric special forces unit of the iranian military, is able to operate with great freedom . to operate with great freedom. it can sustain its forces out there. it can prepare the ground to launch attacks. and i think we've already seen some of those attacks in the last seven days. and the great fear now is that as the idf launches that comprehensive and large scale force into the gaza strip, that first ground invasion of the territory since 2014, will they also have to suddenly fight a sustained and surging enemy on the north? we know that they've sent hundreds of thousands of reservists to the north and tank convoys have also head up there while also preparing in the south. but can they fight two great oppositions at the same time? many fear that lebanese hezbollah actually have greater capability than hamas, who are
7:07 am
already causing so much trouble for the idf day and night. can they fight on both fronts? well, last night the idf chief spokesperson conceded that there had been some struggles with logistics, but that they are geanng logistics, but that they are gearing up and they had to, you know, gear up over half a million soldiers. and this was a obvious strain and was always going to be a struggle. but they are moving in the right direction. >> and of course, the evacuation order has been and gone. the deadune order has been and gone. the deadline has been and gone. yesterday and yet we know there are still civilians in gaza, still trying to flee. is there any sense from the idf that they're going to hold off for a bit longer ? bit longer? >> well, it's clear that the israeli move is being is attempting to be limited by those nations in the region , those nations in the region, particularly qatar, the us and egypt, as they try and through diplomacy, find a greater humanitarian solution for the people of gaza. but so far, us
7:08 am
secretary of state antony blinken, none of his humanitarian shopping list demands are being achieved. there are no humanitarian safe zones in the south of gaza. yesterday day there was there were reports that the crossing into egypt , the rafah crossing, into egypt, the rafah crossing, would be opened for four hours so that people could exit, particularly foreigners caught up in the conflict. but no reports of that crossing opening were received up here. it doesn't seem to have happened. and so the question of proportionality can the israeli defence force launch that imminent ground invasion while so many civilians, millions of them, flee or are internally displaced in their own territory? yeah i mean, and that's the ongoing issue here, isn't it? >> because cause as much as the international community in general terms is supports israel's right to self—defence. israel's right to self—defence. israel's right to self—defence. israel's right actually to strike back against terrorists. the more there is a humanitarian crisis in gaza as a result, even
7:09 am
if you argue that that is the fault of hamas, nevertheless s the tide begins to turn somewhat, doesn't it . somewhat, doesn't it. >> yes. and i think we have already started to seeing that shift in world opinion last week. obviously, after the atrocities from southern israel of those reports of what was happening in the kibbutz and those small communities was travelled around the world, people started to consider hamas in that isis style butchery as benjamin netanyahu , to put it. benjamin netanyahu, to put it. but since then , more and more but since then, more and more global leaders have publicly urged restraint on the part of the israelis. last night, germany making a significant intervention. they're urging the israeli side to reconsider before they launch even greater munitions runs into the strip. but, of course , the israelis but, of course, the israelis consider the gaza strip as a place of two layers on the top. is that civilian layer where millions of people live in one of the most densely populated areas in the world. and that second layer is subterranean . second layer is subterranean. those underground tunnels and
7:10 am
shelters, hundreds of kilometres of them, where hamas militants can gather their supplies and prepare to launch attacks. if israel wants to achieve its stated mission, which is to destroy the hamas military capabilities, then it will need to get to that second layer. so long as civilians are in on the on the top and are living in their in their homes, in residential areas, it can't reach them. it can't use those more severe munitions mines. >> and the more we read and learn about the everyday life of people living in israel near gaza, or indeed palestinians living inside gaza , you realise living inside gaza, you realise you start to realise that they have been living in with decades of potential conflict that so many of them write about having safe rooms in their houses, having bomb proof shelters actually in their own houses. are you aware of any of that? probably not. in tel aviv. exactly where you are now . exactly where you are now. >> no. every every building has a bomb shelter. every house has
7:11 am
a bomb shelter. every house has a shelter because rockets do come in here regularly . i mean, come in here regularly. i mean, as said last night, landed as i said last night, one landed as i said last night, one landed a south of us we as i said last night, one landed a dozens outh of us we as i said last night, one landed a dozens ofth of us we as i said last night, one landed a dozens of interceptionsve as i said last night, one landed a dozens of interceptions by heard dozens of interceptions by the iron dome defence system . the iron dome defence system. people here are forced to run within 90s notice quite regularly away from rocket attacks. yesterday we had three air raid sirens and so shelters across the country are commonplace, but they don't anticipate to use them as much as they have done in the last week. and indeed, many people here are discussing this as the worst violence they've seen in 50 years and fears are now growing after last night's successful rocket attack on tel aviv , that this location could aviv, that this location could also become more susceptible to rocket fire. additionally, if the iranian proxies in the north also get involved . also get involved. >> charlie, as we talk to you, we're looking at live pictures over gaza and smoke rising . over gaza and smoke rising. we've just seen what would be a couple of explosions. now, the more smoke rising from a different location . i mean, as different location. i mean, as we understand it, this major
7:12 am
offensive hasn't yet started. but israel and still targeted targeting areas, it would seem where they believe there are hamas militants gathered or at least significant supplies gathered . gathered. >> yes. and we're still waiting for the latest updates from the idf on strikes they conduct did last night. preliminary reports based on other sources that we've looked at this morning seem to suggest that it was just in the dozens . and it's common in the dozens. and it's common before invasions that there is a sudden dip in activity before the great surge. so that could be another indicator and warning of that imminent invasion that many have anticipated over the last week. but they are definitely still hitting targets in particular air defence capabilities that hamas has and also the anti—tank units. we know that two nights ago when they conducted what they described as localised raids , described as localised raids, the idf said that they were targeting targeting anti—tank
7:13 am
teams in their raids on those border areas in the gaza strip. so clearly a preparing situation in order to allow heavy armour to move in for the first strike on the gaza strip . on the gaza strip. >> okay, charlie, we'll leave it there. looking at those desperate pictures there live from gaza of just a relentless bombing campaign or rockets? not quite sure, but we're just seeing every so often some sort of deadly looking explosion . of deadly looking explosion. >> and as we await , as of deadly looking explosion. >> and as we await, as charlie was saying, await this operation land, sea and air, benjamin netanyahu says , and quite what netanyahu says, and quite what thatis netanyahu says, and quite what that is going to be like, we do not know . people still fleeing not know. people still fleeing where they can. but there have been reports and briefings claiming and it wouldn't come as a huge surprise . it has to be a huge surprise. it has to be said that a lot of gazans who are trying to flee south are
7:14 am
being blocked by hamas militants who don't want them to go because they provide a human shield . shield. >> and also , meanwhile, i mean, >> and also, meanwhile, i mean, the sense of terror , i guess, is the sense of terror, i guess, is spreading across the globe. so many different communities all over the world are reacting . and over the world are reacting. and yesterday, thousands descended on on london for huge pro—palestinian rallies, including former labour leader jeremy corbyn. >> it was largely peaceful , but >> it was largely peaceful, but with viral social media videos of some attendees appearing to express support for hamas opinion is divided on how police need to deal with the protests. it makes it very difficult for world leaders, political leaders to respond . to respond. >> our political correspondent katherine forster has the latest on how the conflict is affecting the uk. joining us now in the studio. it is amazing . i mean, studio. it is amazing. i mean, you get this this feeling that the tensions are now spreading across the world and different
7:15 am
world leaders and secretaries of state and foreign secretaries are having their say and they're pleading for restraint whilst also appearing or wanting to appear to support israel. >> yes, absolutely . and just >> yes, absolutely. and just a word quickly on the protest. i was there most of the day yesterday in london in incredible scenes. but i would say today, given there was probably over 10,000 people there, very large , peaceful, i there, very large, peaceful, i think there were 15 arrests in total. think there were 15 arrests in total . a lot of those were after total. a lot of those were after the main protest had finished in trafalgar square . there were trafalgar square. there were some altercations, but some of the pictures that you saw from that rally that went viral, i wouldn't say those were representative of the vast majority, a real mix of people from all ages back grounds and largely peaceful . but i mean, largely peaceful. but i mean, we've had rallies like that taking place across the country andindeed taking place across the country and indeed across the world. and we see a divide in how that's dealt with, too, because countries like france, like germany, have banned
7:16 am
pro—palestinian rallies and yet in france, they happened anyway. they used tear gas. so very difficult. now, in terms of the international response , both international response, both rishi sunak and keir starmer issued statements yesterday , of issued statements yesterday, of course, on the on the anniversary of those horrific attacks by hamas and those appalling atrocities committed in israel. both saying very similar things. rishi sunak we stand with israel not just today, not just tomorrow, but always really the unequivocal support from him and indeed across the west for israel and the right to defend itself. keir starmer similar, but keir starmer similar, but keir starmer also stressing the fact that israel must act within international law and saying they need to ensure a safe humanitarian corridors in gaza for those fleeing violence. >> but the argument similar but but as we're hearing and again , but as we're hearing and again, look, it's unless you're actually there seeing it, you
7:17 am
don't know for sure. but what we're told and what is coming from the israeli briefings is these humanitarian corridors are being blocked by hamas . and so being blocked by hamas. and so where does that leave politician? because no one's reflecting that politically . are reflecting that politically. are they over here? and it's the pressure on israel to provide a route for people to evacuate . route for people to evacuate. wait, but there's no comment about the fact they're being blocked by their own? >> well, i think we can safely say that hamas is really no friend to the palestinian people and certainly not the people in gaza who by and large, are completely innocent. hamas is one of the leaders, is in qatar. so this doesn't affect him. they are very happy to use innocent civilians to shield them as human shields , as you said, human shields, as you said, irrespective of the consequence . irrespective of the consequence. but, of course, even if these people can get through to the south, where do they go from there? they can't get out. there's a lot of international pressure now being brought to
7:18 am
bear. pressure now being brought to bear . they would desperately bear. they would desperately like this crossing into egypt at rafah to be opened. they would desperately like humanitarian aid to get into gaza . but at the aid to get into gaza. but at the moment, that's not happening. now, gaza, it's one of the most densely populated areas in the world. there was over half a million people were displaced even before the order for the people in the north to flee. and there's something like 20,000, 20 sorry, hospitals in the north, including people on life support, babies in incubators. those people simply can't move. move, absolutely horrifying situation. >> there is a big international question here as well. looking further fonnard , i mean, there further fonnard, i mean, there are so many possibilities as to what could happen. but if northern gaza is flattened by this, then what do the people who've been moved south go back to? it's a very good question
7:19 am
andits to? it's a very good question and it's not clear at all. >> and as we know , the water's >> and as we know, the water's been cut off. there's no food going in. there's no power, there's no energy . it's already there's no energy. it's already a humanitarian crisis. it seems that it's going to get a lot worse. and we don't know what israel's end strategy is . it's israel's end strategy is. it's clear that they want to eradicate hamas completely , eradicate hamas completely, understandably, over the events of the last week. but what happens then? what happens to these couple of million people or however many end up alive at the end? what happens to this area that's very, very unclear. and meanwhile , there's huge and meanwhile, there's huge concern that other neighbouring powers may get drawn in. we've seen hezbollah in lebanon to the north. we know that iran in and is involved al fayed is no friend of israel. real, real concern that this conflict may not stay between israel and gaza. >> egypt have opened their
7:20 am
border. is it rafah . to american border. is it rafah. to american citizens wanting to get out and don't we hear that that may also happen for british citizens trying to get out, but not for palestinians at the moment? >> well, certainly there's a lot of pressure being put on egypt for that to happen. but if you don't have dual nationality for war and it hasn't happened yet for uk or america , what about for uk or america, what about everybody else? it really is a horrendous situation and no , no horrendous situation and no, no good option. it seems at the moment. and of course , it looks moment. and of course, it looks like it's going to get potentially a lot worse. >> never before , never before >> never before, never before have i come across something where you look at it and you go, this is quite simply a lose lose situation in whichever whichever way you look at it. >> i mean, you can understand prime minister netanyahu, you can understand his language, that he's using at the moment. we will eradicate hamas. we are
7:21 am
coming in by air, sea and land. it is going to happen, what they're calling it, the great surge. and yet at the same time, he will know that innocent palestinians trying to flee are being blocked by hamas. what does he do ? does he order them does he do? does he order them to go in? does he order the great surge to start and wiping that innocents will die and why hamas? >> why did hamas do this in the first place? because they obviously must have known that hell on earth would be visited on the people of gaza. it seems that they wanted to get this reaction because things had been more peaceful, hadn't they, in that region for a while . there that region for a while. there were talks of deals with saudi arabia. they've seemed to want to kick everything up. and by goodness and for what will anyone get left with at the end? >> as you said , i mean, the >> as you said, i mean, the whole place flattened . how do whole place flattened. how do you rebuild an entire strip of land that big? i know everybody says it's smaller than the isle
7:22 am
of wight, isn't it? but 25 miles long and about five miles wide, i think . but what will they get i think. but what will they get left with any of them at the end of it? >> i'll tell you what's interesting. >> the international view on i don't if it keir don't know if was it keir starmer that said about a proportional starmer that said about a proport always been there's there's always been there's always been in the israeli palestine issue for decades , a palestine issue for decades, a huge debate about what is a proportional proportionate response from israel because they are seen to go in hard . they are seen to go in hard. well, they are, but it's how does the internet israel will always say its response is proportional. always say its response is proportional . proportionate. how proportional. proportionate. how how does the international community judge whether that is the case? well i mean, looking looking at the figures of the people who died and of course, many thousands injured on both sides. >> but at the moment, there's about 1.3 thousand israelis died. i think we're already up at about 2.2 thousand palestinians at that figure is clearly going to go up and up . clearly going to go up and up. >> but so is what we don't know
7:23 am
out of that two, 2200 is how many are civilians and certainly a number are and how many are hamas ? hamas? >> oh, the hamas figures have been counted separately. so 2.2 thousand ordinary palestinian . thousand ordinary palestinian. plus 1500. hamas terrorists that i don't think anybody compares to proportionate response, killed even you could argue, and i'm not necessarily but the palestinian innocents who are dying because because of the war that's happening now , it's not that's happening now, it's not quite the same, is it, as as the israeli people who were deliberately butchered at the beginning of this? >> are we over a week ago? i mean, i don't know how you argue that sort of thing, but it's i can understand israeli can understand the israeli feeling that nothing justifies that. >> no, but i mean , it's there >> no, but i mean, it's there was a sign at one of the march yesterday saying one atrocity does not justify another attack city and it's horrendous. but of
7:24 am
course you are a under international law and the united nafions international law and the united nations seem fairly clear that they believe israel is breaking it is on the wrong side of it not to target civilians . and not to target civilians. and what many people see as collective punishment that basically hamas have done these horrific things, slaughtered young children , old people, young children, old people, horrendous. but that the whole of the palestinian people in gaza are now subject to collective punishment of no food, no water, no power being dnven food, no water, no power being driven out of their homes . driven out of their homes. >> and meanwhile, we were talking earlier about the unbelievable irony or cheek as you said it. i think, or the nerve of russia now appealing to the united nations for a vote on a ceasefire to in calling for ceasefire. >> it's quite incredible, isn't it, given the events of the last year and a half in ukraine that russia, of all countries should be standing up to, say this? but
7:25 am
just one more point. crispin blunt is a conservative mp . blunt is a conservative mp. yesterday he was saying that he thinks that leaders do need to be very mindful of what they say in terms of he. he warns about them falling on the wrong side of international law in saying support for israel is unequivocal no matter what israel does, they will be foursquare behind them. but of course, none of us understand what it's like to have gone through what israel went through last week. do we know and i mean, there was you know, they talked about it being their 9/11, didn't they ? 9/11, didn't they? >> and actually, when you put it in, because i thought at the time, well, that 911 was was so extraordinary. but actually, when you put it into break it, break it down, three, 4000 people killed in the initial part of 9/11 in the united states, out of a population of i don't know how many million, there's 9.3 million people in
7:26 am
israel and they lost 1300 proportionately. it's huge . proportionately. it's huge. >> it is huge. and it's the biggest loss of life of jewish people since the holocaust, isn't it? >> i think we have to remember that, don't we? >> so extraordinary. and i think jewish people around the world who early thought that who really early thought that they would never see horror on this scale again . and yet here this scale again. and yet here we are and we have jewish people , kids. the schools have been closed, people going out hiding the star of david because they're worried about being targeted in 2023. >> absolutely . >> absolutely. >> absolutely. >> oof ! incredible. it is >> oof! incredible. it is incredible. but i >> oof! incredible. it is incredible. buti do >> oof! incredible. it is incredible. but i do think you raise a valid point, anne, when you say and it's not and i know some people won't won't like it, but there is a difference once between mean terrorists going into slaughter. >> sevilla tions and the tragedy of civilians dying in war. there
7:27 am
is a there is a difference now. >> there is a difference. >> there is a difference. >> but it's very difficult to it's not it's not to justify it in any way. but i mean it's interesting you said that the jewish people haven't seen anything like this since the holocaust. the barbarism that was shown on that first attack over a week ago showed sort of reflected the sort of barbarism they had come to witness in the holocaust . and that is more holocaust. and that is more unforgivable evil, isn't it, than war itself? i don't know. >> yeah , i don't know if any of >> yeah, i don't know if any of us had answers . us had answers. >> we'd, you know, politicians would be cleverer than us and be solving this, wouldn't they? well solving this, wouldn't they? weiwell, would, i tell you >> well, they would, i tell you someone, i can't think of who it was. were was. now, yesterday we were talking to said, people have forgotten war like forgotten what war is like because people get extremely anxious . and it's not to dismay anxious. and it's not to dismay s it, but anxious. and it's not to dismay sit, but about civilian s it, but about civilian casualties . that's what war casualties. that's what war involves us. and that's what that's why war needs to be avoided at all costs. but you
7:28 am
have to say hamas must have known that was going to happen and now they're preventing civilians from leaving . so they civilians from leaving. so they know they have a disregard for their own citizens or the people they are claiming to for , stand they are claiming to for, stand which is needs to be taken into the equation somehow . i mean, the equation somehow. i mean, it's as i say, it's a lose lose either. which way? well i'll tell you what, have a look at this, because as israel anxiously awaits updates regarding the over 100 hostages taken by hamas from israel into gaza , gb news reporter charlie gaza, gb news reporter charlie peters has spoken to the mothers of some of those missing in the chaos. >> this is maya, my daughter 21 years old, and my son, 18 years old. and my shabbat. mirit woke up on saturday, october seventh in 10 am. and discovered
7:29 am
everything calm . maya everything calm. maya >> she woke up with a message from her daughter, maya, and she said to me . from her daughter, maya, and she said to me. maya sent from her daughter, maya, and she said to me . maya sent her that said to me. maya sent her that there were missiles and she's okay. she's hiding . don't worry. okay. she's hiding. don't worry. everything is . okay here. at 8 everything is. okay here. at 8 am. risk received another text a.m. risk received another text message from maya. there is a lot of mess in here. we're trying to get our way back home. few minutes. we will come back. there is police all over the place . place. >> take to vote . >> take to vote. >> take to vote. >> and later she received two text messages from maya. mom, i love you. so, so, so much. if i don't have a battery, please call to itai . she received many call to itai. she received many phone calls from many numbers. she called back. one of them. it was. it was friends. he told her mirit , you have to open the tv. mirit, you have to open the tv. there is a lot of mess in the south. and she called the father
7:30 am
her ilan and he told her that in. 8:58 am. maya sent him a message voice message that they're shooting at me. please come to pick me up and hung up. she sent him a location , she sent him a location, location and he went to search for her all over the place. >> maya so . >> maya so. >> maya so. >> so on saturday, many videos were posted online. in one of the videos, they recognised italian maya together with a friend of them. everyone were running all over the place. they were walking , but they were walking, but they recognised they were together. the three of them . that was the the three of them. that was the last time confirmed they saw them together, but in the meantime, ilan, the father, went to search for them in the south. they had so many hope that they will just come out of a bush that they were hiding. but in the night of october 7th, they received a video . and in that received a video. and in that video they saw itai with his
7:31 am
friend hand cuffed in a vehicle of hamas in the back of the vehicle of hamas. that's how they found out that itai is abducted . and since the last abducted. and since the last message , she she doesn't know message, she she doesn't know what's going on with maya. but for five hours of the abduction, they , the israeli army, come to they, the israeli army, come to confirm that both italian and maya, they saw in their phone location there abducted by hamas. they don't know whether what's the situation with them, but they know for sure that they're there . they're there. >> that must have been the most appalling moment when the idf , appalling moment when the idf, the army, told you that your children had been taken by these terrorists . terrorists. >> yes, she says it's absurd . >> yes, she says it's absurd. but they they were so relieved to know that their abduction did, because that means that they're not 100% dead. that gives them hope that they might be alive . so it was a nightmare. be alive. so it was a nightmare. but they have hope. she believes they must come back. but she knows that each day that passes , knows that each day that passes, we it's more and more dangerous.
7:32 am
and that's why she wants to raise the awareness, because as there civilians that they all they wanted was to celebrate in a peace rave. there's such a young opting autistic people that want they were talking about this party all the time. they wanted to dance and they would never know they will end up would never know they will end “p by would never know they will end up by hamas, she said. it's even more horrifying because it's a peace rave. it's young people, civilians that harm no one that they were talking about. this party for weeks . party for weeks. >> peter's there talking to two mums. >> i mean, how do you respond to that? and there's as we >> i mean, how do you respond to that ? and there's as we keep that? and there's as we keep getting and there is tragedy on all sides of this , but you're all sides of this, but you're talking to a mother there who those children have children . those children have children. young adults have been taken out of sheer hate. >> yeah . and they were at

care in the run up to elections. so in 2010, labour was accused of wanting to impose a death tax to fund social care. in 2017. people remember theresa may was accused of wanting a dementia tax to fund social care so this is one of those things. this is a tricky issue where, you know, parties can get caught out or if they if they present their plans in the wrong way . but it's in the wrong way. but it's slightly worrying because it's part of a broader pattern , part of a broader pattern, essentially with keir starmer , essentially with keir starmer, where he's saying actually a labour government is not going to change much . they don't want to change much. they don't want to change much. they don't want to spook the voters. they don't want voters to think they want voters to think that they would radical and that in the would be radical and that in the current context where britain has so many problems that need fixing, where we're in an economic mess with high inflation and low growth nhs on its knees, you think? actually no. now is the time. i think voters would think now is the time for a bit of boldness, for a of change, you? time for a bit of boldness, for a i of change, you? time for a bit of boldness, for a i don'tange, you? time for a bit of boldness, for a i don't know. you? >> i don't know. >> i don't know. >> mean, their argument >> i mean, their argument is that they it. they'll that they will do it. they'll
7:49 am
just in a second term or just do it in a second term or they'll later right. so they'll do it later. right. so what what trying what i think what they're trying to disappointing to do is avoid disappointing voters because that happens. obviously with voters because that happens. obv tories with voters because that happens. ovaories . with voters because that happens. ovaories . so with voters because that happens. ovaories . so many with voters because that happens. ovaories . so many thingsvith the tories. so many things that have manifesto have been in the manifesto haven't come to pass. so i guess they're other they're working from the other position . but i do with position. but i do agree with you, like just take you, fraser, it's like just take a people want change. a risk. people want change. >> be bold. >> be bold. >> if keir starmer just stands up we're up and says, all right, we're going inflation first. going to tackle inflation first. and know, and say rather and you know, and say rather bonng and you know, and say rather boring things like what rishi sunak says and jeremy hunt then who do we choose between? >> well, exactly . and, you know, >> well, exactly. and, you know, on economic front , you know, on the economic front, you know, the from the the announcements from the labour party conference where they're going this new they're going to have this new fiscal that's essentially fiscal lock that's essentially going to keep constrained going to keep them constrained to spending plans of to the kind of spending plans of the mean, it's similar the tories. i mean, it's similar to how labour to actually how new labour approached things people approached things. people often forget , you know, forget that they said, you know, in the couple of years in the first couple of years they rigidly to the in the first couple of years they spending rigidly to the in the first couple of years they spending plans dly to the in the first couple of years they spending plans and:o the in the first couple of years they spending plans and then�* tory spending plans and then things changed the second tory spending plans and then thingss01anged the second tory spending plans and then thingsso to ged the second tory spending plans and then thingsso to speak the second tory spending plans and then thingsso to speak ..he second tory spending plans and then thingsso to speak . so second tory spending plans and then thingsso to speak . so iacond tory spending plans and then thingsso to speak. so i think term, so to speak. so i think that's, you know, but this isn't the labour mould and the new labour mould and the idea is a this a idea that this is a this is a reassure ance, isn't it, to people have voted tory
7:50 am
people who may have voted tory in who think, well the in the past who think, well the problem with is they're problem with labour is they're going spend, spend and going to spend, spend, spend and taxes are going to go up and they're actually, i they're saying, actually, no. i think . but i they're saying, actually, no. i think. but i think that voters recognise that . keir starmer recognise that. keir starmer isn't, jeremy corbyn isn't, say a jeremy corbyn figure. he's not, you know, he's not particularly out there on the left and people do want things to change. they want to have a genuine choice for the next election . and keir starmer next election. and keir starmer seems to not give it seems determined to not give it to them. >> but maybe it's because >> but maybe it's just because they're with they're so obsessed with winning, because they're so afraid. still that they afraid. actually still that they won't, everything afraid. actually still that they w(suggesting everything afraid. actually still that they w(suggesting ewise.1ing afraid. actually still that they w(suggesting ewise. not is suggesting polling wise. not that the is suggesting polling wise. not that before the is suggesting polling wise. not that before an the is suggesting polling wise. not that before an election. the polls before an election. >> no , but there's also >> well, no, but there's also a big which says big element which says do nothing and you're in. >> yeah, yeah, exactly . exactly. >> yeah, yeah, exactly. exactly. yeah. it's exciting . yeah. it's exciting. >> it's a bit of an open goal situation, but it is an open goal situation, but it is an open goal. if they do anything too radical, it spooks anyone. that's what could could scupper them and we're a bit tight this hour. them and we're a bit tight this hour . so them and we're a bit tight this hour. so let's them and we're a bit tight this hour . so let's let's have let's hour. so let's let's have let's have something a bit light. should we, nicky, let's have a look at this video at big brother, which is back. but

7:53 am
from the mirror that even coca—cola has the royal seal of approval or did under the queen. i didn't know was fan, i didn't know she was a fan, but essentially now these firms all have to reapply . and because we have to reapply. and because we know king charles is a bit of an eco zealot, he's demanding that they meet certain green targets , they meet certain green targets, you know, to do with sustainability, how manage sustainability, how they manage their lots of fashion their land and lots of fashion companies in particular, really are not very green. they you know, burberry, for instance , know, burberry, for instance, had to burn a whole load of its stock. oh, they did, didn't they? years ago. yeah. so, yeah , they? years ago. yeah. so, yeah, you know, the king is throwing his weight around, making sure that companies do these sort of sustainable things to meet his approval. now you can actually get better sales often with these royal warrants . i think these royal warrants. i think that counts more in the more prestigious end. >> think international >> i don't think international markets, maybe international markets, maybe international markets, i'm not sure. >> i'm not sure that coke >> again, i'm not sure that coke really warrant >> again, i'm not sure that coke reisell warrant >> again, i'm not sure that coke reisell . warrant to sell. >> we don't really know. i don't think over think we notice it over here. it's to see. it's quite nice to see. >> yeah, i guess it is. and it's good for smaller brands as well.
7:54 am
they're to they're kind of coming up to get. at one get. but what we told at one point that highgrove obviously prince king prince charles is now king charles is home, was actually making ketchup . making their own ketchup. >> never taste it. no, >> we never got to taste it. no, we . we didn't. >> i've gone online and tried to find they obviously find it and they obviously haven't great success with haven't had a great success with producing it himself. >> warrant >> a royal warrant? >> a royal warrant? >> be a bit of. >> well, that would be a bit of. >> well, that would be a bit of. >> have to see. look. >> crisp sandwich. yes but we'll squeeze in more time next hour. >> i can promise you that. nikki fraser, to good see you this morning. thank you very much indeed. >> let's find out how the weather is doing. >> very good >> hello there. very good morning. i'm jonathan vautrey here your gb news weather here with your gb news weather forecast by the met forecast provided by the met office. there a fine office. there was a lot of fine weather around throughout the second half of the weekend and that pressure that is thanks to high pressure that is thanks to high pressure that across the uk that is with us across the uk helping things helping to keep things relatively settled. we do still have showers to watch out have some showers to watch out for primarily across northern areas scotland. will a areas of scotland. it will be a cloudier here as push cloudier day here as they push their might see their way through. might see a few showers fringing eastern coastal east anglia as coastal areas of east anglia as well. there will just be a bit of in the east the of a breeze in the east and the
7:55 am
north, elsewhere , light north, but elsewhere, light winds, sunshine be winds, a lot of sunshine to be had largely as had and staying largely dry as well . you may still need well. you may still need a layer, though, as you head outside temperatures not outside and temperatures not going than going to be much higher than 9 to 13 c for all of us. but it's fine conditions. hold on. as we head and head into this evening and overnight showers overnight again, any showers tending to their way back tending to move their way back towards coastal districts and a lot of dry weather had lot of dry weather to be had across the board. really, if you mist patches forming mist and fog patches forming overnight, particularly towards dawn tomorrow morning. and again, to another again, it is going to be another cold night for three degrees celsius in towns and cities, certainly dropping below freezing rural areas freezing levels for rural areas of frosty start to monday morning. we'll be a bit more cloud around on monday compared to days. so the sunshine to recent days. so the sunshine a bit hazier places is a bit hazier in places is breezier for the far southwest as well. the winds up as well. the winds picking up here again , showers likely to be here again, showers likely to be limited southeast as limited to the far southeast as well far north of well as the far north of scotland temperatures scotland. temperatures relatively similar days . relatively similar to the days. before 9 to 13 c as high pressure holds on into the middle part of next week. but we could potentially see something a little bit more unsettled later by . by
7:56 am
later on. enjoy your day by. by >> thank you very much, jonathan. >> yes , good to be crisp and >> yes, good to be crisp and cold, deep and crisp and even oh, i hope it's not going to be that cold. >> not yet anyway. right. well, do stay with us because obviously going to bring obviously we're going to bring you the you up to date with all of the news aviv , for news from tel aviv, for instance, we'll be instance, in israel. we'll be bringing you everything and all the latest from israel—hamas the latest from the israel—hamas war. that's coming up next. you're watching breakfast on

8:01 am
vulnerable households across the uk struggle to afford heating bills , thousands of warm banks bills, thousands of warm banks are now in operation. >> we've been to one. and we'll tell you what they're all about very shortly. >> and coming isn't the secret prime minister it's carrie. that's just one of the treasure trove . pandemic era whatsapps trove. pandemic era whatsapps sent by the head of the civil service who is now probably going to be quizzed by the covid inquiry. we'll have more on that and the rest of today's headunes and the rest of today's headlines later on in the programme . programme. >> also coming up for you, jonathan is got the weather. it's a chilly but sunny start to sunday for many of us. >> will that sunshine prevail throughout the rest of today? join me for the full forecast later to find out. and aidan magee is here with your sport. >> yes, good morning. >> yes, good morning. >> the rugby cup there >> at the rugby world cup there was for ireland and was heartache for ireland and wales. france as england wales. in france as england prepare their quarterfinal prepare for their quarterfinal against evening. and against fiji this evening. and in we'll have a in football we'll have a manchester takeover manchester united takeover update. >> you . i'm stephen dixon. >> and i'm anne diamond , and
8:02 am
>> and i'm anne diamond, and this is breakfast on . this is breakfast on. gb news. >> well, it has been more than a week now since the hamas terror attack on israel that killed 1300 people. since then , 2200 1300 people. since then, 2200 have been killed in israel's retaliatory bombing campaign . retaliatory bombing campaign. >> thousands of palestinian civilians in gaza continue to flee to the southern half of the strip after israel's order for over a million of them to flee. that way , even hospitals have that way, even hospitals have been to told evacuate, and that's a move the world health organisation says is tantamount to a death sentence. >> well, the people of gaza now await their fate after israel announced its gearing up for a comprehensive offensive involving air sea and land. the idf statement added soldiers will have a strong emphasis on a substantial ground operation .
8:03 am
substantial ground operation. >> meanwhile, the leader of hamas is believed to have met iran's foreign minister at a meeting in qatar, where they agreed to continue cooperation against what they call israel's occupation of palestinian territory . territory. >> well, reaction to that escalation has come from all corners. the un relief agency says gaza is being pushed into an abyss. they've said it's the worst situation they've ever seen. worst situation they've ever seen . russia, meanwhile, has seen. russia, meanwhile, has asked the un security council to vote on a draft resolution for an immediate ceasefire. that vote is expected tomorrow afternoon . afternoon. >> well, our reporter charlie peters is on the ground in tel aviv and joins us live now. do give us an update on what's going on there . going on there. >> so in the last few moments, the idf has announced that it is opening a new safe humanitarian corridor for between 10 am. local time and 1 pm. so a new three hour window for people in
8:04 am
the gaza strip to head south of the gaza strip to head south of the wadi gaza. this comes just over 48 hours after they first threw un liaison officers called on everyone in the north to leave. ahead of that imminent invasion. this is now the second extension they've given to that order. i think clearly recognising that the number of people heading south is not sufficient for them to launch that ground operation. last night, the idf's chief spokesperson on the military situation said that hundreds of thousands had fled, but would not give us a clear number on how many were remaining and how many had reached the wadi. gaza this also comes at a time when reports of destruction of convoys , some 70 dead in convoys, some 70 dead in a convoys, some 70 dead in a convoy that exploded yesterday morning coming through and also another explosion killing around another explosion killing around a dozen yesterday on one of those corridors heading south. we can't verify who conducted those strikes. and in the last moments , the idf said that it moments, the idf said that it was not responsible for the 70
8:05 am
dead that hamas claimed was the cause of an israeli airstrike. but a very tense humanitarian situation in gaza as that imminent invasion grows and also as are insufficient numbers, head south. the un says the situation there is untenable . situation there is untenable. and we've also heard from one of the main hospitals in north gaza saying that they fear that they could be bombed in any upcoming invasion because we know that the idf is keen to use more severe munitions on the ground. they want to be using the bunker buster munitions that they deploy to remove hamas from those subterranean tunnels where they take shelter, where they prepare attacks and where they could launch surprise attacks on any idf invading force . any idf invading force. >> charlie, what do we know about the humanity aryan corridors? i mean, are they passing through israeli territory because the concern seems to be the issue seems to be that that hamas is actually blocking palestinian civilians from heading . south
8:06 am
from heading. south >> yes, information coming out of gaza is fraught with proper ganda and uncertainty, both both sides claiming that the other is either killing or preventing the movement of internally displaced people in the gaza strip. the reports of blockades released from satellite imagery have yet to be verified, but the idf is claiming that that is what is going on. last night, the spokesperson said that they had blocked one of the two main supply routes. there are just two supply routes heading south from north gaza . but at the same from north gaza. but at the same time, there have been those reports of explosions and people who specialise in verifying this information this morning, claiming that one of the explosions and one of the convoys that was destroyed yesterday could have come from a gas canister on the truck. we saw in a slowed down version of the video this morning that there was no incoming projectile hitting the truck. and so the situation on the ground extremely unclear, but demonstrably , extremely
8:07 am
demonstrably, extremely dangerous. people are suffering to a grave extent. and it's not clear how many of the 1.1 million they want to flee south have fled south. but the idf has said in these in these safe corridors that they're extending this morning that they just won't operational won't conduct any operational targeting within that stretch along those two routes so that even if there are reports of hamas military capabilities gathering in those areas, they will not target them. and we do know that hamas like to blend in with the civilian population. they rely on civilians as human shields to conduct their assaults on israeli territory and also to prevent them being struck after they launch rocket attacks into the region . so attacks into the region. so a very murky, very dangerous situation for civilians as they move south. >> yeah, what do we know of the geography for them as they move south? i mean, most of gaza's roads are very long and flat, but of course, by now they're covered in rubble. so it'll be very difficult for certain sort
8:08 am
of vehicles to get through . and of vehicles to get through. and when they get to wadi gaza , i when they get to wadi gaza, i mean, most of us understand that it's a watennay, isn't it? so i mean, is there just one bridge crossing it to safety or what do we know ? so one of those we know? so one of those explosions yesterday reported was on one of those bridges. >> so, yes, definitely obstacles prevent that crossing there and limiting the freedom of manoeuvre for civilians as they move down in. but also, many people just don't have the capability to get into vehicles or convoys of any sort. one of the reasons why that convoy of 70, that hamas said was killed, that was destroyed in an israeli airstrike yesterday was moving south is because civilians are just taking any opportunity they can to get out of gaza. we've seen photos over the last 48 hours of people fleeing just on their feet , just taking all of their feet, just taking all of their feet, just taking all of their possessions on their backs, people stuffing their basic supplies, their clothing, everything they might need in a refugee camp , just in bin bags,
8:09 am
refugee camp, just in bin bags, doing everything they can to get out of north gaza ahead of what the idf describes as a battle zone. that is what they are going to turn north gaza into. but those supply routes, the two of them certainly fraught with dangen of them certainly fraught with danger, even as the israeli defence forces describe them as humanitarian corridors, because of course it is in the hamas tactics and their procedures to use civilians as part of their war effort. and so blockades are likely, as is the blending in of hamas military targets within those civilian corridors heading south. the rhetoric , charlie, south. the rhetoric, charlie, from israel has been extremely strong, understanding . strong, understanding. >> so but how there's going to be pressure growing as there always is, but perhaps more so in this case as to what is going to be a proportionate response from israel . yes from israel. yes >> and every single press briefing that we are attending, the idf , are reminding us of
8:10 am
the idf, are reminding us of what happened last saturday. excuse me. they are reminding reporters of the violence, the depravity , as they say, the isis depravity, as they say, the isis style butchery that took place in the kibbutzim in the south of israel and saying that there is only one proportionate response to this kind of terrorist violence with 1500 people killed in the south of israel . and that in the south of israel. and that is the total destruction of hamas military capability . liz. hamas military capability. liz. but there is growing global and particularly western concern . particularly western concern. learn that as the idf moves into that next offensive phase , as it that next offensive phase, as it seeks to destroy those hamas military capabilities that it will be doing. so while hundreds of thousands of civilians remain . i think it's really important to remember that the idf cannot confirm how many civilians remain in the north. they will not put a number on it. they just say hundreds of thousands have fled . but there are have fled. but there are expected to be 1.1 million people there as late as just two days ago. hospitals are still full. people are still taking
8:11 am
shelter in north gaza. and while just a few dozen attacks occurred on the gaza strip last night , that is an indicator that night, that is an indicator that more is coming. the quiet before the storm. so it's highly likely that more severe munitions and the most severe bombing campaign that we've seen since this war started will be coming up in the coming days. >> and meanwhile , i guess, as >> and meanwhile, i guess, as most israelis are completely concerned with what is presently happening, are there any questions that anyone is putting politically, maybe or militarily , to the government about why why this was allowed to happen in the first place, about why israeli intelligence wasn't better than they were and didn't see anything coming . see anything coming. >> yes. well, four days ago, lieutenant general hersi gergawi, the idf's chief of staff, conceived , said that staff, conceived, said that there had been a grave intelligence and security failure . it was the first time failure. it was the first time that the idf conceded that failure . and there have also failure. and there have also
8:12 am
started to be protests here in tel aviv against the government's handling of the situation . last night, a few situation. last night, a few hundred gathering outside the ministry of defence here to protest against benjamin netanyahu's government and its handung netanyahu's government and its handling of the situation when he poses himself as mr security. but of course that personal branding has taken a significant dampener since saturday. but they were also protesting against the way that the government has handled the hostage situation. as we know , hostage situation. as we know, over 100 people held in the gaza strip and israelis desperately want answers on how the government and the military are going to retract them. as it stands, the idf are offering very limited information on the strategy to achieve that, but they do say it is a top priority i >> there's always going to be in war for a long term strategy , or war for a long term strategy, or at least there always should be. it's often forgotten. sometimes they call it an exit strategy, don't they? in some conflicts with with this situation , with with this situation, there's got to be a question,
8:13 am
hasn't there? if even if they got everyone out of the north of the gaza strip and then went in, it's what do people what are those civilians go back to and that's going to be a significant problem , isn't it? problem, isn't it? >> yes, absolutely . and i think >> yes, absolutely. and i think that's also part of the reason why we did not see the rafah crossing opening between the south of gaza and egypt yesterday, as it's understood that egypt does not want palestinians to leave the territory, because once they're out, they fear they'll never return. there are concerns that israel will now, after grave destruction of the gaza strip, possibly limit the return of civilians for many, many months. and also this concern comes on what the future of the war will be like as there is a raised threat from the north. last night we saw a return of rocket and artillery fire across from syria . the first the first syria. the first the first
8:14 am
indirect fire for some 72 hours, but also a surge in activity from hezbollah in southern lebanon as anti—tank guided missiles and rockets were fired onto idf position in the north. israel has sent hundreds of thousands of reservists north as last night in qatar , the head of last night in qatar, the head of hamas, its political leader, met with iran's foreign minister in a very public show of support between the iranian regime and hamas. as it's likely that iranian proxies will step up their efforts to support the attacks on israel at this very grave existential threat to the nation. >> and meanwhile , before we >> and meanwhile, before we leave you, charlie, then just to up some you said that the idf had just told you that they would extend a sort of humanitarian corridor window, if you like, for some three hours. >> but that's all. >> but that's all. >> that's it. just three hours, 10 am. to 1 pm. the clock is ticking. ten minutes of that have already passed and people will have to react very suddenly
8:15 am
to keep moving south. i imagine that they have launched this new statement on the humanitarian corridor released in arabic because people will be starting that journey and then reconsidering amid blockades and reports of death and destruction on the road south. they need to do all they can to enforce people moving south before they launch that next operation. and i think it does show some degree of restraint by the idf. they know that they cannot strike north gaza while so many civilians remain because international support for their operation will dwindle extremely rapidly. okay charlie, thanks very much indeed. >> we'll speak to you later on. well, yesterday, thousands descended on london for a huge pro—palestinian rally, including the former labour leader jeremy corbyn. >> the protest was largely peaceful, but with viral social media videos of some attendees appearing to express support for hamas , opinion is now very much hamas, opinion is now very much divided on how the police should deal with these sorts of protests. >> well, our political
8:16 am
correspondent katherine forster is here. i mean, you were there yesterday. i mean, what was the mood like? >> it was largely peaceful, i should say . i was there from should say. i was there from about 11:00 in the morning to about 11:00 in the morning to about 3:30 in the afternoon . about 3:30 in the afternoon. there were ultimately about 15 arrests. but a lot of those followed , made later in the day followed, made later in the day into the evening in trafalgar square. there were some altercations with police, but by and large, it was a very mixed group of pretty peaceful protesters on the whole old people, young people , babies in people, young people, babies in buggies, dogs. but of people, young people, babies in buggies, dogs . but of course, buggies, dogs. but of course, there are always some who are taking a more extreme view . now, taking a more extreme view. now, the police were very clear talking to them. what was and was not acceptable . i think a was not acceptable. i think a lot of the arrests were to do with people had been told that they were to obscure their they were not to obscure their face. i did see them talking to one woman. just could see one woman. just you could see her eyes and insisting that that that was removed. they also had

legal advisers on hand, basically to police the police to make sure that the police were acting properly. and if people were arrested to tell them their rights. so we have been very tolerant in this country of this sort of protest. of course, there's been protests in manchester, in liverpool, blackpool, edinburgh , all across blackpool, edinburgh, all across the country, and all across the world, but other countries have been much less tolerant . france, been much less tolerant. france, germany banned pro—palestinian protests altogether, though in france, people did gather here anyway. and i think tear gas was used. but very difficult. the majority people talking to me, just saying , how do you think it just saying, how do you think it feels to have no home? a palestinian lady who now lives in the uk saying we have no home. how does that feel? but then of course, you see those images that have gone viral. the front page of the daily mail girls wearing cut—out images of
8:18 am
paratroopers and we know that hamas, some of them came into israel by by parachute to commit those atrocities. so certainly a pro—hamas element, but that would say much in the minority. >> but actually, if you look at the video, i mean, the thousands of people who were there, only 13 arrests. did you say it's not many? not many, actually, many? it's not many, actually, no . i would have expected it to no. i would have expected it to be actually. very, be worse, actually. and very, very wasn't . very pleased that it wasn't. >> how is it possible to gauge because this is, as you said, the that police are being the fact that police are being policed, it shows just policed, although it shows just how delicate this all is . i how delicate this all is. i mean, were a lot of people there being pro—palestinian, but not anti—israeli? because it's an important distinction, isn't it? this is the problem, isn't it? >> and it's an absolute minefield . and where does minefield. and where does concern for innocent palestinian civilians in gaza and their right to live in peace , where
8:19 am
right to live in peace, where does that and concerns about how israel's response may or may not be proportionate ? when does that be proportionate? when does that tip in to anti israeli sentiment? i was talking on a very different scale at labour party conference. these pro—palestinian voices outside the secure zone very much on the fringe as a labour staffer said to me, can you imagine if jeremy corbyn, who was at the rally yesterday, had still have been in charge? there'd have been in the hall waving their flags ? i the hall waving their flags? i think it's a measure of how far labour have come, but it's a very fine line, isn't it? and talking to a man there who had begun by saying this is absolutely horrendous what's happening. he then went immediately into. but basically palestinians have had such a terrible deal. they've been treated appallingly. they're in an open air prison. et cetera. et cetera. and in the end, i said to him , you basically sound said to him, you basically sound like you're saying israel have
8:20 am
brought this on themselves. and he was like, yeah, exactly. so it's very difficult. >> but, you know, it's interesting because there are a lot of news websites around at the moment. i mean, a proper ones where you can you start to think, how was this allowed to happenin think, how was this allowed to happen in the first place? i don't mean the attack, the recent i mean whole recent attack. i mean the whole history of the history of that part of the world. start try and world. and you start to try and figure out how it was. it was chaotically set up and then gave rise to terrible conflict . and rise to terrible conflict. and you wonder how it will ever end, ever. >> even >> you do. and it's not just to, you know, israel being created in 1948, officially and the british involvement and it goes back hundreds , indeed thousands back hundreds, indeed thousands of years. this is a part of the world where there's always been shifting patterns. people in charge, different communities is in conflict with each other. and it felt up until just over a week ago that things were a bit more settled, a bit more
8:21 am
peaceful. there'd been a focus i mean, under donald trump , the mean, under donald trump, the abraham accords, focusing on trade relations with other nato neighbouring states. but it feels like hamas last saturday made a decision to blow all of that up and it feels like people in the middle east, whether they're in israel or gaza, are now in a significantly worse position than they've been for a long time. and i think worth noting, of course, that the death count on the israeli side, the highest since the holocaust in the second world war. >> yeah, yeah , yeah. >> yeah, yeah, yeah. >> yeah, yeah, yeah. >> it's interesting you're >> and it's interesting you're saying gentlemen were saying that gentlemen you were talking saying ultimately, talking to saying ultimately, well, israel had brought this upon , elves . but upon themselves, elves. but you've got and there is there is an element where some people may look at that and think, well, maybe, maybe there's a point there. that ignores then , there. but that ignores then, doesn't it? the fact that which i think is easy to forget if you're not jewish, that israel has been under its very existence , has been under threat
8:22 am
existence, has been under threat , you know, surrounded by countries who say you should not exist , list countries who say you should not exist, list and not only that, the state shouldn't exist, the jewish people shouldn't exist. and it's and we almost forget about that existential threat that they've faced as well for decades and decades and decades . decades and decades and decades. >> yes. and some people chanting at the march, free, free palestine from the river to the sea, palestine. now that's effectively getting rid of israel. yeah and i mean, israel does not have very many friends in the region. iran being top of the list of people that we're surrounded by, very, very ill. and also worth saying that the people of gaza don't have many friends either, because i think people of gaza don't have many friends has er, because i think people of gaza don't have many friends has certainly se i think people of gaza don't have many friends has certainly not think people of gaza don't have many friends has certainly not their hamas has certainly not their friends . they don't care friends. they don't really care how they use shield how many they use to shield them. and also egypt seems to have no intention. that's that's their only way out because on one side, they've got the sea on two sides, they've got israel.
8:23 am
you know, they are trapped. and egypt seems to have no intention of letting them out. you've said that a few, but there could well be hamas amongst them if they let out. let them out. >> couldn't they? well, this is it. as we've heard from charlie earlier. >> oh, okay. >> oh, okay. >> catherine, for thank >> catherine, for now, thank you very indeed. it i mean, you very much indeed. it i mean, you must exhausted at home trying must be exhausted at home trying to trying to work it all out. i mean, i imagine you've all got thoughts as to the rights and wrongs and the ways fonnard and all the rest of it. but i always come back to on this, i think is that if there was a who doesn't want peace, ultimately and if there was an easy answer, it would have been found a very long time ago. >> think there are some people >> i think there are some people in don't want. in the world who don't want. well, yes. >> yes. >> yes. >> we've just seen an example of it. but the vast majority of people, yes. people, of course. yes. >> and at a situation >> and you look at a situation like this and you just you just don't know which way to turn, do you? it is just tragedy on all sides . awful it's just
8:24 am
sides. awful it's just absolutely awful . absolutely awful. >> we will be bringing you other matters to talk about, though, in the programme . so do continue in the programme. so do continue watching your you're watching breakfast of course, on gb news and you'll want to know what our weather going to like. weather is going to be like. >> hello very good >> hello there. very good morning. jonathan vautrey morning. i'm jonathan vautrey here gb news weather here with your gb news weather forecast met forecast provided by the met office. a lot of fine office. there is a lot of fine weather around throughout the second the weekend second half of the weekend and thatis second half of the weekend and that is thanks to high pressure. thatis that is thanks to high pressure. that is with us across the uk helping to things helping to keep things relatively settled. do still relatively settled. we do still have to out have some showers to watch out for across northern for primarily across northern areas will be a areas of scotland. it will be a cloudier here as push cloudier day here as they push their might see their way through. might see a few fringing. eastern few showers fringing. eastern coastal of anglia as coastal areas of east anglia as well. there will just be a bit of a in the east and the of a breeze in the east and the north, but elsewhere, light winds, a lot of sunshine to be had and staying dry as had and staying largely dry as well. you may still need a layer, though, you head layer, though, as you head outside. going outside. temperatures not going to than to 13 c to be much higher than 9 to 13 c for of us. but it's fine for all of us. but it's fine conditions. hold on as we head into this evening and overnight again, any showers tending to move back towards
8:25 am
move their way back towards coastal and a of coastal districts and a lot of dry weather be had across the dry weather to be had across the board. you missed board. really, if you missed some forming some fog patches forming overnight, towards overnight, particularly towards dawn and dawn tomorrow morning. and again, is to be another again, it is going to be another cold night for three degrees celsius cities. celsius in towns and cities. certainly dropping below freezing rural areas freezing levels for rural areas of frosty start to monday morning. we'll be a bit more cloud around on monday compared to recent days. so the sun a bit hazier in places, breezier for the far southwest as well. the winds picking up here again, showers likely to be limited to the south—east as well as showers likely to be limited to the far south—east as well as showers likely to be limited to the far north —east as well as showers likely to be limited to the far north of ast as well as showers likely to be limited to the far north of scotland.l as the far north of scotland. temperatures relatively similar to before 9 to 13 c as to the days before 9 to 13 c as high pressure holds on into the middle part of next week. but we could potentially see something a little bit more unsettled later on. enjoy your day by by. >> oh, jonathan, thank you very much we're to be much indeed. we're going to be talking boxing shortly . talking boxing very shortly. tommy fury, who you may well have heard of defeating ksi, who you probably never heard of. no, but aiden will explain all very shortly. goodness .
8:26 am
8:27 am
8:28 am
8:29 am
it is 829. good morning to you. this is breakfast with steve lennon . lennon. >> and now we're going to find out who tommy fury and ksi are or aidan magee will explain . or aidan magee will explain. >> so this is a boxing match that took place last night. massive fanfare around it. ksi is a youtuber . tommy fury is
8:30 am
is a youtuber. tommy fury is officially a boxer , but nobody officially a boxer, but nobody knew who he was prior to 2019, when, of course, he was in love island and he picked up that relationship inside the on the island with with molly—mae. they've become they've subsequently become married and become a big brand. so tommy fury, i say , he's so tommy fury, as i say, he's regarded as a proper boxer , but regarded as a proper boxer, but we wouldn't consider this to be proper boxing, high level boxing misfits . yeah, they're the misfits. yeah, they're the they're the kind of organisation that don't get me wrong, they're very adept at making, making money people because money and maybe people because boxing created this problem boxing has created this problem itself by getting the fights itself by not getting the fights on people want see by on that, people want to see by having drugs, little sorry, beset drug issues in the last beset by drug issues in the last two years or so. and so people are probably seeking something alternative to the real thing. and they're saying, well, actually this is good fun. >> it's just like an event almost rather than a serious boxing. >> it is. i mean, look, they're not they're not completely without without capability. but there fights there were two fights last night. the logan, night. i mean, the logan, paul and davis, was on the and dylan davis, one was on the undercard. i mean, that ended with with a chokehold because
8:31 am
one of one of them's a wwe one of them one of them's a wwe wrestler and security had get wrestler and security had to get in. that's that's that's in. and that's not that's that's dangerous. are not allowed dangerous. those are not allowed to you're at to do that. no, you're not at all. this what i mean. all. this is what i mean. >> so, i mean, is that a chokehold around logan? paul? >> was. yeah yeah. well, >> yes, it was. yeah yeah. well, and so i don't know if i'd have stepped in. it was. well, that's the it it was broken the point. it was, it was broken up of that. but if up because of that. but if that's to a boxing that's meant to be a boxing match, then that's quite a dangerous thing to do. and then following up from that, we had ksi tommy ksi against tommy fury. now what's interesting is the what's interesting to me is the boxing reaction to this. what's interesting to me is the bmean, reaction to this. what's interesting to me is the bmean, they reaction to this. what's interesting to me is the bmean, they there's.ion to this. what's interesting to me is the bmean, they there's some this. what's interesting to me is the bmean, they there's some highly i mean, they there's some highly respected people respected boxing people who stephen know, and stephen and i both know, and they're really they're taking this really seriously. i wonder because seriously. and i wonder because they this is they fear longer term, this is where the bandwagon is heading and on that they and they want to be on that they want to be on was there a big audience there? 20,000 or sell out the arena in the crowds out at the arena in the crowds then question, think then without question, i think they a million they sold it sold a million tickets for the pay per view. they did indeed. the zone they did indeed. so the zone don't make much money. think don't make much money. i think this only event of this might be the only event of the year. they make money the year. they make some money out and i think they could
8:32 am
out of it and i think they could have sold the arena out three times and i worry that times over. and i worry that with boxing way it is and with boxing the way it is and the problems in the the problems it's had in the last months, maybe last 18 months, maybe the reaction the boxing reaction of the boxing media might because might be quite telling because if following this, they if they're following this, they probably think that's where the future and don't what future is. and i don't know what that the sport, i that says for the sport, i really that says for the sport, i reaiyeah, people it's down >> yeah, but if people it's down to the line. that's to the to the line. if that's what people to watch, what people want to watch, people want to be they want to be these be entertained and these celebrities, well, i mean, look, we mentioned wwe. >> mean, all it's >> i mean, we all know it's fake. we know it's set up. fake. we all know it's set up. it's fun. it's world wrestling entertainment. it's fun. it's world wrestling entersportient. it's fun. it's world wrestling entersport for.. reason. people than sport for a reason. people watch goes around watch it wherever it goes around the world. people and the world. people turn up and they it. so maybe they and they see it. so maybe it's glimpse into the future. it's a glimpse into the future. perhaps then maybe a crowd perhaps then maybe pull a crowd or make any and or you don't make any money and money is what to be all about. >> true. >> true. >> well, let's glimpse to the future afternoon. should >> well, let's glimpse to the futu 4:00, afternoon. should >> well, let's glimpse to the futu 4:00, englandwn. should >> well, let's glimpse to the futu 4:00, england versus1ld >> well, let's glimpse to the futu 4:00, england versus fiji we? 4:00, england versus fiji quarterfinals. we? 4:00, england versus fiji ql marseille.. in marseille. >> absolutely. in france of the princess as she's princess of wales as well. she's going there watching going to be down there watching england, them on. england, cheering them on. she'll a pint and she'll be there with a pint and a won't thought so. a pie, won't she? thought so. yeah, thought so. no, yeah, i'd have thought so. no, rugby fans do that. they do bit. >> don't have a pint? >> don't they have a pint? >> don't they have a pint?

8:40 am
in certain places, anti—semitic attacks have been on the rise in general, and now following the atrocities in israel committed by hamas , it seems as if it's by hamas, it seems as if it's now sort of sparring out of control. there's been at least four more cases of people's houses being spray painted with stars of david. you know, letting people know that jewish people live in these apartments . people live in these apartments. so the authorities have warned that there could be terror attacks inspired by hamas on on jewish buildings. so really, you know, there's a problem that we have to get to grips with here. we are seeing the return of something very nasty and very dangerous. >> it's just so devastating . i >> it's just so devastating. i mean, i've been hearing reports this week of people taking down the misusers, you know, that you have door frame that has have on a door frame that has the torah scroll that is i mean, it's part of your faith to sort of to remind of touch it and to remind yourself of god. basically, when yourself of god. basically, when you leave home. you come in and leave your home. but are them down but people are taking them down for safety, like north for their own safety, like north london, several jewish faith schools are schools in britain now that are closed are open
8:41 am
closed and those that are open are telling their their youngsters to take their not to wear their blazers away because their blazers have star of david on it's so upsetting . it on them. it's so upsetting. it should go back. >> they it remember years >> they should it remember years ago seeing a clip of jerry spnnger ago seeing a clip of jerry springer saying that his father either because they were evacuees, his father's generation were evacuees and he always had an old van in in the garage that you checked. >> always checked, worked, always had fuel in it and was in case they ever needed to run . case they ever needed to run. and you remember thinking, this is 20 odd years ago and thinking, oh, god, isn't that awful that he's still living with that horror and now you can see why i don't think you ever get over something that. get over something like that. >> it on to other >> and you pass it on to other generations like generations when things like this part of this happen, it becomes part of your worry that much. your makeup to worry that much. >> have to think >> well, and you have to think there youngsters on both there are youngsters on both sides of the conflict at the moment who will never forget what's never . what's happening to them, never. >> move on to the >> okay, let's move on to the observer. should we? it was in
8:42 am
the papers yesterday that carry was the real prime minister when bofis was the real prime minister when boris was in charge. some people thought it was dominic cummings, but no, it wasn't the man who. this was all in whatsapp. messages that have been released that case chief civil that simon case chief civil servant, chief civil servant , servant, chief civil servant, he's now he's going to have to answer questions on this now. >> yes, he is. >> yes, he is. >> but, you know, it's the gift that keeps on giving, isn't it? and yeah. case and basically, yeah. simon case has described the has said that he described the government tragic joke back government as a tragic joke back in the day the pandemic in the day during the pandemic on whatsapp. and apparently he's going further going to be questioned further over so—called treasure trove over a so—called treasure trove of which reveal of messages which also reveal more the machinations of more about the machinations of number 10. so he's you know, there are several messages with him saying that, yeah, boris johnson's wife, carrie, appeared to be the real person in charge of the government. and another message saying, i was always told as in dominic told that dom, as in dominic cummings was the secret. how cummings was the secret. pm how wrong they are. i fonnard wrong they are. i look fonnard to telling committee to telling select committee tomorrow. worry about dom. tomorrow. don't worry about dom. the real person in charge is carrie. i mean, you know, carrie. so i mean, you know, it's very, very and i mean, i
8:43 am
guess part of the problem is or maybe part of the reason these messages are being urged. yes okay. got to be looked okay. they've got to be looked at looking into at by the committee looking into partygate. they also seem partygate. but they also seem like going annihilate like they're going to annihilate bofis like they're going to annihilate boris of ever boris johnson's chance of ever returning politics. yeah, returning in politics. yeah, because basically, if he wasn't even rule as he even strong enough to rule as he was elected and he was letting his wife do it, then that's not democracy. >> he's nasty. i mean, some would say messages from simon case others his whatsapp case to others on his whatsapp group misogyny don't they? >> i think people have. people have said that. i mean, i'd like to carrie antoinette, to call her carrie antoinette, i think to call her carrie antoinette, i thiryeah , people have said it's >> yeah, people have said it's sexist say that she's really sexist to say that she's really in charge . in charge. >> i think, as you know , as >> i think, as you know, as nikki said, i think it's more a sign of boris's. >> yeah, i think it's more about that. >> he is so spineless that, you know, people famously say that he by whoever the he is convinced by whoever the last person spoke that's last person he spoke to, that's who he's who that's whose advice he's he's listen to. but he's going to listen to. but i mean, these are allegations, i should say. but lord ashcroft wrote book about carrie wrote a book about carrie symonds, carrie johnson , and he symonds, carrie johnson, and he alleged that he sometimes she

and tries to reach out. for latest information on the british hostages held in the gaza strip, one sense is now that the tension is ratcheting up as other countries react , up as other countries react, call for borders to be opened like you said, maybe even a possible evacuate mission to cyprus. >> it seems as though the panic is spreading that things are going to happen quite quickly . going to happen quite quickly. >> yes. and that situation in the north really is attracting more concern . now, in the last more concern. now, in the last 30 minutes, the israeli defence force has extended the military evacuation zone off the southern lebanese border and it's spokesperson on a press conference with us for the last hour told reporters that it urged the lebanese state not to get involved and that if hezbollah acts in southern lebanon and starts to strike israel with greater strength than it will hold, the lebanese state responsible, lebanon is a country in political disarray , country in political disarray, has been for many years after
9:08 am
that appalling beirut port explosion in 2020, which has allowed many extremist organisations in the country to take in a vacuum of power . organisations in the country to take in a vacuum of power. and it's understood that lebanese hezbollah , with its great hezbollah, with its great capabilities, military support and sustenance from iran, has enjoyed a greater sense of security and freedom of manoeuvre in lebanon . so it's manoeuvre in lebanon. so it's had three years of staging to prepare for an opportunity like this, an opportune city where the israelis are preparing to invade the gaza strip. but also having to defend itself in the north. we also had shelling and artillery fire from syria last night, the first in 72 hours. and there are concerns after the hamas political leadership met with iran's foreign minister last night. this is a very tense situation. an escalation appears almost likely. >> what does are we getting a sense of what the israeli government wants, the international community to do here? because obviously, that's it's very difficult for the international community, but
9:09 am
presumably they're not going to stand by if israel is finding itself stretched to the extent because of what is happening in the northern parts of israel and these other countries getting involved. they're not going to sit back and do nothing , are sit back and do nothing, are they? if push comes to shove ? they? if push comes to shove? >> that's right. and i think that's why the us intervention has been so important since this conflict started. us president joe biden warning other countries considering to get involved with this conflict and seeking a bruised and creaking israel. they're seeking to exploit that situation . he exploit that situation. he issued a one word warning don't. and it was understood at the time that iran had heard that warning and also seen a physical display of power with a us strike group, a carrier floating into the east mediterranean as a display of its forces. and the americans providing the israeli side with advanced munitions throughout this week to both replenish the iron dome missile
9:10 am
defence system , but also to defence system, but also to likely provide new offensive munitions as well . this appears munitions as well. this appears to have delayed the iranian response as they seek to possibly exploit the situation , possibly exploit the situation, even as israel tries to launch that ground offensive into the gaza strip . gaza strip. >> how could those other terrorist organisations join in and support hamas? in what way are they likely to do it? >> well, the hamas military capabilities we've seen what they can do over the last week, but lebanese hezbollah have greater supplies, greater manpower and more capabilities from southern lebanon. they have long—range missiles supplied readily by the islamic revolutionary guard corps, the asymmetric special units of the iranian military. and, of course, we also know that iranian proxies operates with great freedom in syria on that border with israel . we also know border with israel. we also know that palestinian islamic jihad could further engage in this
9:11 am
conflict with more shelling, more artillery . conflict with more shelling, more artillery. i think the most devastating thing that these other groups could do towards the israeli state is to just threaten with missiles and rockets to ovennhelm the iron dome defence system here. i think it's unlikely that we'll see people crossing the border from southern lebanon into northern israel as the defences of those borders in terms of manpower are extreme . the manpower are extreme. the israelis can decimate people who attempt to cross that border. and it's unlikely they'll be able to ovennhelm in that way. but we have seen success, rocket attacks from hamas in the last 24 hours. rockets landing in sderot in the south ashkelon further north. and here in tel aviv, where there was impact last night, just a few miles south of our location, a huge explosion in as a missile crashed into a motonnay. but as that situation becomes more precarious , there is concern in precarious, there is concern in israel that lebanese , as israel that lebanese, as hezbollah, will launch missiles that could ovennhelm the idf from both angles and prevent a
9:12 am
situation where the iron dome can intercept all of them, possibly inflict severe civilian casualties on the israeli side. >> okay , charlie, for now, thank >> okay, charlie, for now, thank you very much indeed. let's talk to miri eisin, who's also in tel aviv, who's a retired colonel in the idf and also a former israeli government spokesman and spokesperson. beg your pardon? we're good to see you this morning. there is a as much simple kathy, as there is with israel . and there is a lot israel. and there is a lot international, and particularly from countries like the uk and the us. there is also a concern as we await this , this huge as we await this, this huge movement. now as to whether this is going to be a proportionate response from israel . response from israel. >> steven anne, when i look at you right now, it's as if i'm in an alternative reality. first of all, you can go and study . if all, you can go and study. if somebody is suddenly a lawyer , somebody is suddenly a lawyer, that our response is the most proportionate response ever . we proportionate response ever. we have been giving early warning
9:13 am
24 hours, 72 hours into every one of these different places , one of these different places, and telling the palestinian people who are being held as human shields by the hamas terrorists, we're telling them move. you're talking about the movement that i didn't see hamas terrorists saying, hi , we're terrorists saying, hi, we're going to come butcher 30 different israeli communities and take them hostages into the state of israel. butcher torture, mutilate. and they're holding our hostages. and we have been giving that warning. doesit have been giving that warning. does it make it easy? does it make it nice? it's absolutely proportionate. and trying as much as possible to save the palestinian people from the hamas leadership that are holding them hostage. it isn't as simple as that. they're not just being held hostage by hamas, but yet giving hamas, but yet we are giving them that warning. it doesn't make it beautiful, eyal. it doesn't make it nice, but it is most definitely proportionate. >> well, i was going to say, it may or nice, may not be beautiful or nice, but realistic? because it
9:14 am
but is it realistic? because it seems very short period of seems a very short period of time to ask for 1.1 million people to walk south? >> they've been told that already on wednesday . you kind already on wednesday. you kind of talked about it a bit. they've been told again on thursday. we're already on sunday. is something where sunday. this is something where it that israel is gung it isn't that israel is gung going out and doing it. we also are aware we have no intent and desire in any way to hurt that civilian population in hundreds of thousands of people have already moved. i think that you also should be showing the hamas barricades, trying to stop the people in the gaza strip from going south, that they have been inventing fake news, where they've been exploding things and saying that israel is attacking these people going south, that they are telling the people there don't go south. this is all an israeli bluff. as i said , not easy, not nice . we i said, not easy, not nice. we are in the worst war that has ever been. and this war, i say sadly, is in its own way on your
9:15 am
streets . yes. my heart goes out streets. yes. my heart goes out to palestine people. my heart goes out to lebanese people. hamas is a horrific terror organisation . hezbollah is organisation. hezbollah is a terrific terror organisation and we cannot allow those terror organisations to be in any way the represent tentative or the voice of the palestinian or lebanese people, because that tension up north is something that impacts what's going on here as well as what happens after. >> is there a is there going to be a long term strategy here? mary in the sense that even if the north of the gaza strip was was completely freed of civilians and the idf goes in and is successful , what do those and is successful, what do those people go back to ? people go back to? >> steven and anne, i'm with you and i understand what we're talking about when we're talking not just to a talking about when we're talking notjust to a british audience, but to an israeli audience. this is right now . now is about right now. now something i say sadly and something that i say sadly and i hate being this prophetess of doom. i've never been this way
9:16 am
before but hamas brought before. but what hamas brought into the heart of the state of israel, a terror organisation like hamas or hezbollah can bnng like hamas or hezbollah can bring to any place . this isn't bring to any place. this isn't about the very clear cut palestinian issue that my heart goes out to peace operatives inside the area of israel were kidnapped as hostages and are being brutally hurt inside there. this is not about that. so when you ask about the future of the gaza strip, yes , there is of the gaza strip, yes, there is an understanding there are 2 million people. they deserve a better future. that future is not with hamas, who violent took over all of the gaza strip in two thousand and seven. it's like we put this into the context of something else as a terror organisation has ruled there since two thousand and seven, it has turned it into a terror horrific base. we saw some of those capabilities on saturday, sunday, and we keep seeing the rockets being fired out. this is not something that you or me want to have continuing to exist . we cannot
9:17 am
continuing to exist. we cannot eliminate and eradicate, but we can make an enormous difference on its capability. and we can end its rule over the gaza strip. it cannot continue and add into that, and i keep reminding people that hezbollah , reminding people that hezbollah, as charlie was saying before, is not just the big brother. as charlie was saying before, is notjust the big brother. it has not just the big brother. it has ten times the capability and it too is a terror organisation . too is a terror organisation. when are we going to go out now and support hamas and hezbollah, who have these terror capabilities? it's as if, you know, like it's israel's problem . this is not israel's problem . . this is not israel's problem. this is a challenge which goes way beyond there. and we're going strong at a going to stand strong at a horrific price for us. and i want the people in the palestinian arena to be safer. i want the lebanese people to be safer. they cannot be with these horrific terror organised nafions horrific terror organised nations who hold these weapons , nations who hold these weapons, who hold their own people as human shields. that is not a better future for anybody . better future for anybody. >> miri eisin, we really appreciate your time this morning. thank you very much
