7:30 pm
and experts warn polar bears are at risk of starvation as more sea ice is lost in the arctic. here in the uk, a second labour parliamentary candidate has been suspended from the party, pending an investigation. the suspension of graham jones, a former mp and now the prospective parliamentary candidate for hyndburn in lancashire, comes after labour withdrew support for the party's rochdale by election candidate, azhar ali, for anti—semitic remarks about israel. our political correspondent helen catt reports from rochdale. on the bbc sounds app, on your smart speaker... play bbc radio manchester... in rochdale, they're digesting the news that labour has pulled backing from its own candidate. the party will no longer campaign for azhar ali after a recording was released of an anti—semitic comment he made at a local meeting.
7:31 pm
mr ali was telling the group about a mr ali was telling the group about a labour mp, who had been suspended. labour had stood by mr ali for nearly two days, after other comments he made at the meeting about israel were published by the mail on sunday. the party accepted his apology, but the latest recording tipped the balance. it is a huge thing to withdraw support for a labour candidate during the course of a by—election. it's a tough decision, a necessary decision, but when i say the labour party has changed under my leadership, i mean it. in rochdale town centre, we found support but disappointment. labour has broken it. it did not do well in the situation. i'm not cross that - he's been deselected, that was the right thing to do. after what he were on about yesterday, yeah, you don't do that. you don't do that.
7:32 pm
i don't get this gaza thing. i mean, yeah, fair enough, but what has it got to do with rochdale? there is a large muslim population here, a community for whom gaza and labour's approach to it is an important issue. it'sjust, i think, what's happening with palestine and everything, so...we�*ve not had all the help. it's a lot to the asian community. we've felt as if a lot has not been done. but this incident also risks reawakening concerns among jewish voters. underjeremy corbyn�*s leadership, labour struggled with accusations of widespread anti—semitism within the party. keir starmer made it a key part of his leadership that he would change that — he would stamp it out. the way the party has dealt with this, though, risks reopening an issue that he might have thought he'd drawn a line under. the labour party have got a real problem here, and it's demonstrating they're not fit for government, they haven't changed and that they shouldn't be voted in when the election comes later in the year. what's happened here in rochdale is likely to raise more questions
7:33 pm
for labour about the way they select candidates and what more might still need to change. helen catt, bbc news, rochdale. let's speak to bbc political correspondent harry farley. hejoins me from he joins me from westminster. welcome to you. in the interaction of that support, i mentioned graham jones has been suspended. what are the party saying? he jones has been suspended. what are the party saying?— the party saying? he has been suspended _ the party saying? he has been suspended pending _ the party saying? he has been suspended pending an - the party saying? he has been - suspended pending an investigation, the labour party say he has been called in for an interview with its national executive committee, it's an easy, and as you said ramjones is the former mp for hyndburn, he is its candidate for hyndburn at the next election, and we have asked the labour party why exactly has been suspended. they have not come back to us on that. but it does come after the recording of him using in clifton referred to israel, and he said british people
7:34 pm
who fight for the israel army should be locked up —— using an expletive. it is not clear whether it is over there for much or whether it is because he attended that meeting where azhar ali made those anti—semitic remarks, and he attended that meeting and appeared next challenge him. we approached mr jones for comment, but he has not come back to us yet. find jones for comment, but he has not come back to us yet. and what about azhar ali right _ come back to us yet. and what about azhar ali right now? _ come back to us yet. and what about azhar ali right now? what _ come back to us yet. and what about azhar ali right now? what does - come back to us yet. and what about azhar ali right now? what does this. azhar ali right now? what does this decision mean for him and the labour party in this by election? bzhdr decision mean for him and the labour party in this by election?— party in this by election? azhar ali will still stand _ party in this by election? azhar ali will still stand in _ party in this by election? azhar ali will still stand in this _ party in this by election? azhar ali will still stand in this by _ will still stand in this by election. and because the deadline has passed for labour to choose a new candidate, he will still stand with his name next to the labour logo. it was 2a, nearly 48 hours, logo. it was 24, nearly 48 hours, sorry, that labour stood by their man, after it emerged that he had made those comments, but after further remarks emerged, or mr ali is alleged to have blamed people in the media and particularly, and i quote, from certainjewish quarters, for the suspension of andy mcdonald
7:35 pm
from the labour party, andy mcdonald is the mp for middlesborough. just to clarify for viewers, he is accused of bringing the labour party into disrepute after he made some comments at a pro—palestinian rally where he called for peace, for israelis and palestinians, between the river and dc. i think we can listen after those comments other ali made that prompted his suspension from the party —— the river and the sea. inaudible he defended the delay and said once that for the recording emerge, he took decisive actions, but there are wider comments first year keir starmer in the labour party tonight.
7:36 pm
he has reignited a row about the anti—semitism in the liver party. harry, thank you. == anti-semitism in the liver party. harry, thank you.— anti-semitism in the liver party. harry, thank you. joining me is gideon falter. he is the chief executive at the campaign against antisemitism. what is your view on the decision to withdraw support for azhar ali and initially they did support him and then made the decision around this time last night to withdraw that support? it time last night to withdraw that su ort? . , time last night to withdraw that su . oft? ., , , time last night to withdraw that su--ort? , , , support? it has been pretty shambolic, _ support? it has been pretty shambolic, and _ support? it has been pretty shambolic, and i— support? it has been pretty shambolic, and i think - support? it has been pretty l shambolic, and i think secure starmer will be filled with regret about the way this has been handled, because as soon as he took over the labour party from jeremy corbyn, he made very clear, his first speech, he wanted to tear out the poison of anti—semitism, as he put it, by its roots, and he said alsojudgment by my actions now my words, and so when this case came up, having until now actually taken a reasonably firm stance against auntie —— anti—semitism, sir keir starmer seems to have wobbled, or lease the
7:37 pm
labour party seemed to have wobbled, because these are merse came out, they stood by their man, they said he is apologised, we can trust his apology, and then 48 hours later, both the labour party and everybody who they had sent out to defend azhar ali looked very, very foolish indeed, and initial comments that they were telling us where acceptable once apologised for where the comment in which azhar ali said that israel had actually, jews, had basically engineered the worst massacre of jews on october the 7th, so it is a blood libel, and yet the labour party rushed out to say that he is apologised, he must mean it, let's leave it be, but of course it has not been long since these additional comments now came out and now of course it turns out there was another prospective candidate at the
7:38 pm
meeting, graham jones, another prospective candidate at the meeting, grahamjones, who has also been suspended, and the question now is, who else was at this meeting? the meeting happened in october. it seems there were a lot of people there. who else knew? why did no one stand up to the people at the time? and what is going to be done to investigate those who were there and make sure this meeting was just a one—off, not that there were other meetings where these sorts of comments made on a more regular basis? ., , ., ., , , comments made on a more regular basis? ., , ., ., , ., basis? you believe that anybody who was present — basis? you believe that anybody who was present at _ basis? you believe that anybody who was present at a _ basis? you believe that anybody who was present at a meeting _ basis? you believe that anybody who was present at a meeting where - was present at a meeting where comments were made that may have been seen as anti—somatic, what they have a responsibility to speak up, to report on those people, that they are culpable as well? —— anti—semitic. are culpable as well? -- anti-semitic.— are culpable as well? -- anti-semitic. , , anti-semitic. this is the thing, this was a _ anti-semitic. this is the thing, this was a meeting _ anti-semitic. this is the thing, this was a meeting of - anti-semitic. this is the thing, this was a meeting of labour l anti-semitic. this is the thing, - this was a meeting of labour party activists and senior party figures, including prospective candidates, so whereas an average member of the public, if they hear in anti—semitic or market, one would hope they stand up or market, one would hope they stand up to it, but a bunch of people were part of the labour party that under
7:39 pm
the equality and human rights commission's investigation was found to be institution anti—semitic under jeremy corbyn leadership, you would feel those activists have a duty to stand up to this. yes, you need to have action and firm action against anti—semitism when it arises. gideon, let me ask you— as we approach a general election and the war in gaza seems to have no signs of abating and possibly this issue will come up time and again on the doorstep for prospective candidates and in meetings, where do you see the line being drawn between legitimate criticism of israel and its actions and anti—semitism? there its actions and anti-semitism? there should be two _ its actions and anti-semitism? there should be two completely _ its actions and anti—semitism? ii—iiff should be two completely different things, but what we are seeing is not actual real criticism of israel. what azhar ali was doing was actually saying that somebody else in the labour party got suspended due to excessivejewish influence.
7:40 pm
that is just plain anti—semitism, it is not about israel, and of course what a lot of people watching is thinking, what on earth has this got to do with british politics? there is a war raging thousands of miles away. it is a tragic, sad situation and we have been watching the brutality of hamas, of all source of human suffering that has unfolded since, but why is this what is affecting elections in britain and why is it that people don't seem to be able to comment on that within the labour party without reading in these and i somatic tropes and anti—semitic conspiracy theories and blood libel? that is something that should worry people. sir keir starmer has done really well up until now on this issue, but he has wobbled, orat until now on this issue, but he has wobbled, or at least the party has wobbled, and a lot of people have been very dismayed by that and wondering how much deeper this problem lies. wondering how much deeper this problem lies-— wondering how much deeper this roblem lies. , ., ., ., problem lies. gideon falter from the cam aiun problem lies. gideon falter from the campaign against — problem lies. gideon falter from the campaign against anti-semitism, . campaign against anti—semitism, thank you. campaign against anti-semitism, thank ou. . ~ campaign against anti-semitism,

"but there's been a lot of bombing in rafah", she says.
7:42 pm
airstrikes launched two nights ago killed dozens of palestinians. the intense bombardment was part of an operation to rescue israeli hostages. a boost for israel and they want more. translation: there will be more operations. - and in my opinion, the day is not far. there will be more operations. but the prime minister is also talking about sending troops into rafah, expanding the ground war to finish off hamas. he's promised a plan to evacuate all the civilians who've crowded into the city. but the united nations says that's not feasible. "forced displacement" is what they call it. you can't send people back to areas that is littered with unexploded ordnance. not to mention a lack of shelter. jordan's king was the latest arab leader to appeal for us help to end the conflict.
7:43 pm
president biden has not backed down from his support for israel's war aims, but he is pressing hard for a pause in the fighting. as the king and i discussed today, the united states is working on a hostage deal between israel and hamas, which would bring an immediate and sustained period of calm and good to gaza for at least six weeks, which we could then take the time to build something more enduring. israel's allies warn of a catastrophe if it takes its ground offensive into rafah and keep pushing for a ceasefire. earlier, i spoke to hussein haridy — he's a former assistant foreign minister of egypt and ex—director of the israeli affairs department at the egyptian foreign ministry. he gave me his reaction to the talks. we are waiting for, let me say, good news out of this meeting. as president biden said yesterday, the
7:44 pm
american administration, as well as egypt and qatar, are pushing both sides, the israelis and the people of hamas, to agree on a compromise solution whereby hostages will be released and an agreement on an extended truce in gaza, that could be either six weeks long or maybe longer than that, and as president biden said, maybe after that, they can sit together we can sit together, and try to work out a political solution, a political solution to bring these military operations in gaza to an end. this is demand by egypt, qatar, the arab world, and i guess by the international community and the united nations, that we need an immediate and permanent cease—fire in gaza. immediate and permanent cease-fire in gaza. ~ , , ., ,

7:46 pm
states, shared this attitude, this position with us. we believe that we can work out a compromise solution between the israelis and hamas. the question is, how long? supposing that we reach this deal, the question is, whether the two parties would honour it to the end.- would honour it to the end. hussein haridy there- _ around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. bbc news — bringing you different stories from across the uk. - a trip to a rural country pub is a lovely way to spend an afternoon, but for the nominated driver, that's often meant a soft or hot drink only. at this pub just south of brockenhurst, they're now marketing themselves as a destination for dry drinkers. they've developed a mocktail — or nonalcoholic cocktail — menu and have a range of low or no alcohol, beers and ciders, with wine and fizz coming soon.

7:56 pm
milder and more unsettled now as we head through the rest of the week, as that warm front continues to drag the mild air in from the south—west, displacing the colder air to the far north of scotland, where even here, it'll disappear by the time we get to the end of the day tomorrow. but overnight tonight, still some showery outbreaks of rain on and off for much of the night across england and wales, more cloud being thrown across northern ireland. eventually, a wet start to the day here tomorrow. cloud, too, into the borders of scotland. but for many across scotland, clear skies, temperatures set to drop perhaps as low as —5 or —6 celsius in those sheltered glens. compare those temperatures to the double figures further south, where it's a very mild start to the day indeed. on wednesday, those weather fronts continue to push further northwards and eastwards. it's a wet start to the day across northern ireland, but the heavy rain will eventually clear, pushing into southern, central areas of scotland, where, as it bumps into the cold air, it will turn to snow, i think, across the cairngorms and the northwest highlands. some showers, too, further south across wales and the south coast
7:57 pm
of england, but in the middle, across northern ireland and perhaps to the far north—west of england, we could possibly see some brighter spells develop to the east of high ground later on through the afternoon. very mild, 14 or 15 degrees celsius for many in the south. now, as we head through wednesday and into thursday, again, that deep area of low pressure will continue to push these fronts towards us. this is a cold front. by the time that sweeps through, temperatures will dip a little, but some particularly mild air on thursday across the south—east of england and east anglia. also some wet weather mostly towards the north and the west, a line of showers pushing into central, southern england by the time we get to the afternoon. but given any brightness out towards the east, temperatures could possibly rise as high as 16 or maybe 17 degrees celsius. by the time we get to friday, temperatures will drop just a little. there should be some brighter spells around on friday and a lot of dry weather, too. but the heavy rain returns perhaps on saturday night into sunday. bye— bye.
