5:18 pm
moving across the north east of china, into rushes of far east. it'll block temperatures down in whoo hat and have a look at that. a drop of 10 degrees celsius through to monday as the west of that weather pushes its way east across, depends on monday and on the federal tax upfront takes on the big issue. that is a context to what is happening now. it to the question about 5 unflinching questions, rigorous the bank that he added to 2 days the another, the cleansing has taken place. augusta, nothing goes into gauze and without us of permission, nothing leads about that without permission to allow me to push back for a moment, demanding of ceasefire, demanding an end to the root causes of all of this violence upfront without 0 of the

5:21 pm
a 100 meters also away from the embassy itself, as myspace is the police out in cost. but this is where the main body of the march will arise and protest. this dispute is on the stage you can see behind us here in terms of those numbers. i think it could be an indication of increasing concern about the situation in gaza on the cost of this intended to find. at least a further intensification of his ready material prices. in rough uh, in the south. the holding suggests the holding company you got has issued a, a recent poll suggesting that 2 sides of the person is now support on immediate response. 66 percent of people police say the 1500 offices on the streets of london in terms of public order. uh today that includes this price as to what is,
5:22 pm
as well as supporting fixtures and the like the saying that they all came to ensure that sensitivities on monitor. and this, any i hate speech is also act suit against. there's be one arrest we had told. so far regarding apply caught in support of the prescribed organization, they also times the setting off of this march to make sure that at events of the jewish synagogue, the advice had finished inside. there's been an opposite uh, jewish organizations say all that just submitted abuse, a tax, a recent bonds also not such as the muslim incident as well. so it's the subject. all right, thank you. harry faucet reporting from london. large protests are also expected in tel aviv. later on saturday, demonstrators will be calling for the release of all of the captives being held in gaza and for the host, or if the government and the resignation of the prime minister benjamin netanyahu, hunters on hotels joining us from tel aviv. so tell us what we expect tonight with

5:24 pm
government for their inability to bring back the captives. so i hung up, i mean, there seem to be mounting tensions in israel as well as we see now, these growing calls for protests against the government to get the sense that something's changed. of the there's definitely a change of tone among be is really public, especially since these really prime minister decided not to send back the delegation to cairo to meet with mediators to secure a deal. people are incredibly frustrated and concerned about the wellbeing of the captives who are being held in gaza. the families have been saying for nearly 5 months that these really governments should be willing to offer up what ever concessions the other side wants in exchange for their loved ones, but nothing yahoo himself has said that. there are several red lines that israel will not cross, and in fact, knights demonstration will be held by the capital in force. that is the protest

5:26 pm
a legs on the set sky, the head of ukraine, you know, the full season a statement saying that the forces that have done the duty also, he says destroying the very best, the russian units that were sent in that direction. so that also points to the other strategic value of continuing the seemingly endless meet grind to type operations baffles on the front. that if you are defending, then you are killing far more of the attacking russians than you are losing annual re ukrainian defends is then that does make a certain military logic to continue these operations to grand and your opponent. that's what we saw in back to moods last year. uh, but that does come a time when you have to make the decision that you're not willing to see any more people being lost, that you all could have pulled back your defender. so that's what we have seen here . so this is a strategic last for ukraine and it will be see as a symbolic victory for the russians coming very close to the secondary of us or the start to disclose. go real world leaders are meeting in munich for
