7:05 pm
but among the governing conservative party, there are different opinions on suspending uk arms sales to israel. we owe it to israell to stand with them. i think that we should maintain this military relationship— from which we benefit just as much as they do, and i think that it - would be a tragic shame if we were to walk awayl from our closest i ally in this region. you've seen the wanton destruction of acres of land in gaza. it is leading to starvation and famine. it's reached the obscene position where we, the uk along with the us, are having to build a supply bridge in from the sea to gaza. you have to ask whether they are any longer fit to be an ally of decent western countries. let's speak to christopher lincoanones, former major in the royal artillery, who is a drones specialist and has worked alongside the israeli
7:06 pm
defence military programme. thank you very much for being with us. i think it's important to analyse as carefully as we can what actually happened to those seven aid workers on that strip of coastal road in gaza on monday. what is your interpretation of what did happen? it's quite difficult to tell without actually — it's quite difficult to tell without actually going and being there, so a lot of— actually going and being there, so a lot of it _ actually going and being there, so a lot of it is _ actually going and being there, so a lot of it is looking at the state of the vehicle and listening to the open _ the vehicle and listening to the open source information that's come out. open source information that's come out but— open source information that's come out but to _ open source information that's come out. but to me as somebody who has worked _ out. but to me as somebody who has worked with— out. but to me as somebody who has worked with drones for a very long time _ worked with drones for a very long time and _ worked with drones for a very long time and particularly knows quite a bit about— time and particularly knows quite a bit about is— time and particularly knows quite a bit about is really drones, particularly the medium weight was that they— particularly the medium weight was that they are using over gaza at the moment, _ that they are using over gaza at the moment, i— that they are using over gaza at the moment, i was involved with the hermes— moment, i was involved with the hermes 450 which is the father if you like _ hermes 450 which is the father if you like of— hermes 450 which is the father if you like of the uk watch keeper system, — you like of the uk watch keeper system, and i believe it's probably

7:19 pm
the british foreign secretary, lord cameron, has ruled out western troops being sent to ukraine. he was speaking to the bbc�*s ukrainecast programme as the nato alliance marked its 75th anniversary. what nato's looking at is a nato mission for ukraine, not a nato mission in ukraine. it's making sure that we use nato's architecture to help deliver some of the support that ukraine needs, but fundamentally i think that we should do everything
7:20 pm
we can to help ukraine. that's been britain's position, and i think it's not escalatory to say we are going to help this independent, sovereign country to fight off an aggressor and we are going to give it all the help we can in order to do that. that was the foreign secretary, lord cameron. foreign ministers and the nato secretary generaljens stoltenberg have been meeting in brussels to discuss how they can give long—term support to ukraine. the alliance agreed to start planning for a greater role in coordinating military aid for the country. here'sjens stoltenberg. the situation on the battlefield remains serious. ukraine needs more air defences, more ammunition and more aid. i welcome that allies continue to step up with major new announcements. in recent days, this includes nearly 600 million euros from germany for a czech—led artillery
7:21 pm
initiative, as well as 10,000 drones from the united kingdom, more missiles and armoured vehicles from france and just yesterday a new package of aid from finland worth 188 million euros. but we need to do even more. jens stoltenberg there insisting that more support is needed for ukraine, and that extra support is even more vital with a donald trump presidency possibly around the corner in the us. his comments on nato and threats to pull out of the allience are pushing member countries to act now. xavier bettel, luxembourg's deputy prime minister and foreign minister, spoke to the bbc and recalled chairing a nato session with donald trump present. he was very upset to say— that the americans were the only one
7:22 pm
paying, and maybe it was a wake—up call that we needed also, all of us. l i don't want to congratulate him for the statement, - but it was a wake—up call. we plan now to reach this 2%, and, as you said, 2033- is what we announced, but we try to do it - faster, faster, faster. but as i said also to donald trump, i won't buy golden guns for every l soldier, so it is important to see how we can have intelligence - expenses, interest of nato, interest of the country, - but also interest of solidarity. well, they know very much focused on ukraine and let's focus on ukraine ourselves. the authorities in ukraine's second city, kharkiv, say four people were killed and a dozen injured in repeated russian drone attacks. residential buildings were hit, including a i4—storey block. three of the dead were rescuers who'd rushed to the scene after a previous attack. meanwhile, proxy russian officials in parts of ukraine occupied by moscow say ukrainian attacks have killed three people, two in the kherson region and one
7:23 pm
in the city of donetsk. now, for many airline passengers, the worst part of theirjourney is the airport security check, especially having to pack liquids in very small quantities in their hand luggage. new scanners are going to be installed at the uk's main airports so those onerous rules can be relaxed, but there's been a delay and a government deadline ofjune has now been missed. that means passengers flying from major british airports will continue to face limits on the amount of liquid they can carry in hand luggage. travellers using heathrow, gatwick and manchester airports will still be bound by the 100—millilitre liquid limit and will still have to remove liquids and laptops from their hand luggage potentially for another 12 months. smaller airports including london city, birmingham and newcastle, on the other hand, do already have the new security screening technology in place and expect to meet the deadline
7:24 pm
of the 1st ofjune. karen dee, chief executive of the airport 0perators association, explained some of the difficulties in getting the scanners installed. this is very high—tech equipment, and all airports are trying across the uk to install it at the same time. so there are some challenges for the supply chain to supply that and for the engineers to be able to, you know, install it properly. and of course, you know, because they're heavy kit, lots of airports are having to do construction work to strengthen floors or to reconfigure the layout, so that's another challenge. and of course, you know, making sure that all of the staff that are now having to operate it are fully trained and aware of it is really important because what we won't do is compromise on safety and security. 0ur travel correspondent katy austin explained what the new scanners will mean for travellers once they're operational.
7:25 pm
at the moment, any liquid you take through in your hand luggage have to be no more than 100 millilitres, and you have to take them out and put them in a plastic bag like this. with the new machines in place, they can all stay in your bag, and you can also take through liquids that are up to two litres in size. there we go. laptops can stay in the bag as well. safe journey, katie. stay with us here on bbc news. hello there. although it's been a pretty unsettled week, things are expected to ramp up further as we head into the weekend. we've got a named storm on the way to bring widespread gales. now, this area of low pressure's going to bring us a breezy, wet night across the board. outbreaks of rain, some of it heavy at times in the north and the west, will push northwards. as it pushes into the cold air across scotland, it's going to turn to sleet and snow, certainly snow over the high ground, even some sleet perhaps down
7:26 pm
to lower levels for a time. so quite a temperature contrast from north to south. very mild in the south, cold in the north. but it could be fairly disruptive over the high routes, for example the a9, for friday morning. this snowfall likely to accumulate for a time as it continues to move its way northwards. further south, any rain clears away from england and wales, and then it's sunshine and blustery showers. most of the showers will be in the north and the west. the odd heavier one for england and wales, and it stays windy for all. it also improves a little bit across scotland, stays on the cool side, not quite as chilly as recent days. further south, 15—17 or 18 celsius. now into the weekend, we see a new area of low pressure move in, a very deep feature. the irish met service, met eireann, have named this storm kathleen, because we'll see the biggest impacts with the winds across the republic of ireland. but widespread gales across the country, especially around irish sea coasts. it's going to scoop up some very warm air across the whole country. so early rain clears from scotland, the mild air will be as far north as the northern isles on saturday.
7:27 pm
blustery day for all areas. a lot of sunshine around, mind you, across eastern areas. it may stay dry altogether with only a few showers further west. but gusts could be up to 60, maybe 70 mph across this north—west corner. 30, 40, maybe 50 inland. and we could see temperatures up to 20—21 degrees, so warm and windy for saturday for most of us. as we head into sunday, storm kathleen passes to the north—west of the uk. again, another very windy day to come with gales in the north—west of the country. more showers around, we think some of them could be heavy. best of the sunshine towards the east, and it won't be quite as warm as saturday. temperatures reaching highs of around 17 degrees across the south—east. so that's the weekend out of the way. into the new, upcoming week, it stays relatively unsettled. in fact, on the mild side, but by the end of the week, we could start to see something more settled across the south.
