will start with that phone call between joe will start with that phone call betweenjoe biden and prime minister benjamin netanyahu after last 90 minutes and also they hung up to each other. and we'll have some sense of what they talked about and something called a readout here which gives some details that conversation and the tone of the us towards israel has raised a few eyebrows. he made clear this isjoe biden, the readout goes, israel needs to announce and implement a series of measurable steps to announce civilian harm, humanitarian suffering and the safety of aid workers. we haven't heard from president biden yet but we have heard from the secretary of state, antony blinken.— heard from the secretary of state, antony blinken. despite important ste -s antony blinken. despite important steps israel _ antony blinken. despite important steps israel is _ antony blinken. despite important steps israel is allow _ antony blinken. despite important steps israel is allow assistance - steps israel is allow assistance into gaza the results on the ground are woefully insufficient and

unacceptable. 100% of the population in gaza knows acute level of food insecurity and 100% of the population is in need of humanitarian assistance. and those working heroically to provide that assistance are doing so in great peril to their own lives. the line is if israel _ peril to their own lives. the line is if israel does _ peril to their own lives. the line is if israel does not _ peril to their own lives. the line is if israel does not change, - peril to their own lives. the line | is if israel does not change, than the us policy towards israel will change. we are just the last hour from john kirby, the white house spokesperson, let's take a listen. in what we want to see her some real changes on the israeli side and if we do not see changes from their side, there left to be changes from our side but i would not preview what that will look like. he our side but i would not preview what that will look like.- what that will look like. he did rovide what that will look like. he did provide some _ what that will look like. he did provide some examples, - what that will look like. he did i provide some examples, concrete examples and things like increasing the aid into israel increasing the

amount of crossings and reducing the violence on civilians. what this phone call means and what the consequences are we'll be digging into a little bit later in the programme. now, the uk calls for the government here to and weapons sales to israel. 600 legal experts in supreme courtjustices have written this letter and in it, they say the provision of military assistance may render the uk complicit in genocide. someone who signed letter. martyn day, co—founder of leigh day solicitors. for many of us sitting there day after dancing the appalling events unfolding in gaza and israel, we are all desperately keen to do whatever

we can to help and try to put in and to this terrible, terrible occupation by israel in gaza and all the events taking place. the opportunity took place for me to put my name to a letter supporting the idea that there are things that the british government can do, pressured that can be applied to the british government, i would that can be applied to the british government, iwould be that can be applied to the british government, i would be keen to do it. ., ~ government, i would be keen to do it. . ~ , ., ., it. talk us through the legal rounds it. talk us through the legal grounds here _ it. talk us through the legal grounds here and _ it. talk us through the legal grounds here and what - it. talk us through the legal grounds here and what is i it. talk us through the legal- grounds here and what is wrong with selling the arms to israel? in grounds here and what is wrong with selling the arms to israel?— selling the arms to israel? in the circumstances _ selling the arms to israel? in the circumstances we _ selling the arms to israel? in the circumstances we have _ selling the arms to israel? in the circumstances we have seen - selling the arms to israel? in the l circumstances we have seen taking place or these last few months, it is quite appalling the idea that we are part of the problem. we should be looking to try to resolve it and not be a part of the problem by providing israel with the arms to use against the palestinians. the letter came across signed by the legal world and it was there.

complicit in genocide and if you are a government selling to israel and fighting a war in their right to defend themselves and they were attacked first on october the 7th by hamas and they're going after hamas. when the response of israelis was to attack in terms of whatever happened and i supported that and as the day is gone on, the killings increased in such intensity of women and more recently over the aid workers and there comes a point where that excuse for that reason is simply no longer tenable and for me personally, i think for so many more people in this country, we feel that the british government should do absolutely everything it can to bring an end to what is happening in

stopping the arms sales and so be it, these are things we should be doing. it, these are things we should be doinu. ., ~' ,., doing. you think the uk government will sto - ? doing. you think the uk government will step? we _ doing. you think the uk government will stop? we have _ doing. you think the uk government will stop? we have seen _ doing. you think the uk government will stop? we have seen some - will stop? we have seen some ositive will stop? we have seen some positive signs _ will stop? we have seen some positive signs in _ will stop? we have seen some positive signs in the _ will stop? we have seen some positive signs in the british - positive signs in the british government and lord cameron has done some good things to what is happening with the aid workers and i'm optimistic for the legal skill or profession and the points being made in this important letter and i'm optimistic that the british government will listen. thank you ve much government will listen. thank you very much for— government will listen. thank you very much forjoining _ government will listen. thank you very much forjoining us _ government will listen. thank you very much forjoining us on - government will listen. thank you very much forjoining us on the i very much forjoining us on the programme and we will be returning to that phone call between president joe biden and israel's benjamin netanyahu. nato foreign ministers have been meeting in brussels. what next with ukraineand — look back at decades of history. what next with ukraine and — look back at decades of history. nato is 75 years old.

a group of countries together form a defensive military alliance. band playing the nato hymn. (music) the secretary generaljens stoltenberg called nato the world s most powerful and successful military alliance. but now, it's being tested. he said nato was �*not party to the conflict�* in ukraine. but it was providing support. he talked about what form that support would — and wouldn't be. we do not have any plans of having a nato combat troops inside ukraine and no requests for that and ukraine is asking for equipment for ammunition and for weapons and we are providing that to ukraine but

that doesn't make us part of the conflict but we support ukraine and its self—defense. so — jens stoltenberg says no nato boots on the ground. but the pressure is still on to provide support for ukraine. particularly on the united states, where a 60—billion—dollar for aid package for ukraine remains stalled in congress. foreign secretary david cameron is due to visit the us next week. this morning he spoke to bbc�*s ukrainecast — he too said no nato boots on the ground — but he had this message for washington. britain is done, its bid for this year and putting the money for this year, we really need that us supplemental and they could be one of things talking about the narrative earlier and how these things of a narrative arc. great ukraine success and rush is doing better on land and as they sit only a tiny bit better and one of the things they could change the narrative again is that american money coming through input and

seeing this, i cannot out wait and outlast these guys, they're going to have the firepower and they're going to and the support and they give the prospect of further ukrainian success and crucially, that is what we want and not an unjust peace which is what she did right now but a just peace. to unpick the day, i am joined now by the former us ambassador to nato, kurt volker. thank you for coming on the programme. thank you for coming on the programme-— thank you for coming on the rorramme. ., ~ , . thank you for coming on the rorramme. ., ~ ,, , . ., programme. thank you very much for havin: programme. thank you very much for having me- — programme. thank you very much for having me- let's _ programme. thank you very much for having me. let's talk— programme. thank you very much for having me. let's talk about _ programme. thank you very much for having me. let's talk about those - having me. let's talk about those thou . hts having me. let's talk about those thoughts about _ having me. let's talk about those thoughts about putting _ having me. let's talk about those thoughts about putting a - having me. let's talk about those thoughts about putting a bit - having me. let's talk about those thoughts about putting a bit of i thoughts about putting a bit of pressure on the us and sink at this aid sorted and done. what do you make of it? i aid sorted and done. what do you make of it?— make of it? i particularly like the turn of phrase — make of it? i particularly like the turn of phrase that _ make of it? i particularly like the turn of phrase that he _ make of it? i particularly like the turn of phrase that he used i make of it? i particularly like the i turn of phrase that he used that we need a just peace and not an unjust piece. if we are going to draw a line on the ground in ukraine today, they'll be rewarding vladimir putin's of aggression and all of the war crimes and all of the genocide and i would very much be an unjust piece. we need to put ukraine in a position of achieving a just peace

and i like that idea. for the us, speaker of the house that he wants to bring this legislation to the floor next week and it is complicated for political reasons in the us that have very little to do with ukraine. talking by the southern border and the upcoming election and very little about ukraine itself. i'm optimistic we will get the aid through and this will get the aid through and this will be a shot in the arm for ukraine once it is done. do you think it is _ ukraine once it is done. do you think it is too _ ukraine once it is done. do you think it is too late? _ ukraine once it is done. do you think it is too late? because i ukraine once it is done. do you i think it is too late? because if you look at the situation on the ground, set aside the lost opportunity of not having an increased number of ammunition or artillery and defence, whatever it is, but some of the russian side we've seen and those love to be undone when this aid does arrive. to accept there has been damage done by this delay already?

yes, there has been damage done by this delay and it should've been done months ago. but it is never too late, even passing this down and getting the aid on the ground in a few weeks is better than not doing it at all during a two or three months from now. as soon as possible is when the should be passed and there is no doubt that ukraine will survive and prosper as a sovereign independent european democracy. the only question is how much pain that goes through as we in the west work out our funding mechanisms or defence industrial productions were ammunition productions and we are slow with this. the sooner we can get us aid directly to ukraine and this interim period the better. every go with your optimism that whatever the timescale is, that it's done before the election, that we head into that election, what are your thoughts about what difference it makes, if any, who wins that us presidential election? i

it makes, if any, who wins that us presidential election?— it makes, if any, who wins that us presidential election? i think we're talkinu presidential election? i think we're talking about _ presidential election? i think we're talking about a _ presidential election? i think we're talking about a matter— presidential election? i think we're talking about a matter of— presidential election? i think we're talking about a matter of weeks, i talking about a matter of weeks, not months. i hope that as we approach the us election in november, that this issue of aid to ukraine is no longer on the table. as far as what it means for the outcome of the us presidential election, we simply do not know of biden administration, they'll continue to provide support to ukraine and they are doing very cautiously and very much hedging against any kind of escalation and it will be this kind of slow rolling support that we've seen and it is good but it could be better. and on the trump side of the equation if he were to win, we do not know what he would do. all he has said is that he would do. all he has said is that he would end the war in the day but he never explained how or what that would mean and if you extrapolate from that idea the only reason there is a war is because vladimir putin believes he can make gains and he will be successful by aggression in

ukraine. in my mind, if you want to end the war, the way to do that is to convince vladimir putin that he has nothing to gain in he will never succeed in ukraine and therefore, he may as well stop. and i think getting that message across requires exactly the kind of support from the us they were talking about. arms, budgetary support, loans for ukraine, everything we can do to show that we have far more capacity than vladimir putin and he will never win this war.— than vladimir putin and he will never win this war. thank you very much for coming _ never win this war. thank you very much for coming on _ never win this war. thank you very much for coming on the _ never win this war. thank you very i much for coming on the programme. thank you. around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news.

lewis von jones lewis vonjones will be back with the main story. back to that story we're following from us — call between president biden and prime minister netanyahu.

first call since the deaths of those aid workers. the white house says president biden has told israel's prime minister that strikes on humanitarian workers and the overall humanitarian situation in gaza are unacceptable. tom, we had the readout, two paragraphs giving us a sense of always talked about, what stood for you? always talked about, what stood for ou? , ' ., ., ., always talked about, what stood for ou? , ' . ., ., ., you? different language than what we've had so _ you? different language than what we've had so far _ you? different language than what we've had so far from _ you? different language than what we've had so far from the - you? different language than what we've had so far from the white i we've had so far from the white house when it comes to the us israel relationship. it's pretty strident and contains a warning and that what it says is in the cool between president biden inventor and they know that the president effectively made a series of demands of israel over protecting civilians and alleviating desperate humanitarian situations. they are things like allowing aid trucks into gaza through crossings in the fence from israel and to the north of the gaza strip. they are things like bringing down the catastrophic high numbers of civilians who have been killed in

gaza and i think we are seeing ramping up of the pressure of the americans and prepared to put on and there is a key line in that statement that is in effect a warning and it says that the us policy with respect to gaza will be determined by our assessment of israel's immediate action on the steps of the president is saying to the israeli prime minister is if you do not act as a send a press conference, within hours or days, to change the situation on the ground in gaza, we are going to rethink us policy towards israel when it comes to the situation in gaza. that opens the question, are they talking about this key issue of weapons supplied, the us weapons going to israel, that is been up until now off limits when it comes to the house his approach to trying to leverage israel to change its conduct in gaza and now opening the door to that whole area and john kerr become the

spokesperson of the white house was asked this question repeatedly on the last hour, are they talking about conditioning arms are pulling some supply of weapons and he just left it ambiguous and kept repeating the line that we are talking about rethinking us policy they do not act the way we want them to. we can conclude pretty clearly that area is in scope and that creates a pretty dramatic shift in terms of us policy that we have had when it comes to that we have had when it comes to that critical us israel relationship. that critical us israel relationshi-. ., ., _ relationship. fascinating to the pic what significant _ relationship. fascinating to the pic what significant there. _ relationship. fascinating to the pic what significant there. kinda i what significant there. kinda behind—the—scenes, we have had the bare bones of this phone call and the strengthening in language that potential policy change that you are talking about there. because it is pretty strong that you've been quoting from there, is there a deal between two countries whatever phone call like this, a readout is produced in the other side knows will israel have known that it will

be the strong and it will be from the phone call itself but is there an agreement that this will be public orjust an understanding that it will and how does it factor into what you assume now will be israel's reaction? , ., , reaction? the statements, the readouts. _ reaction? the statements, the readouts, normally _ reaction? the statements, the readouts, normally they i reaction? the statements, the readouts, normally they are i reaction? the statements, the| readouts, normally they are i'll reaction? the statements, the i readouts, normally they are i'll buy a spokesman but they are effectively a spokesman but they are effectively a statement and they're not agreed, this would've been the words of the white house, the take on people to have fun what is going on but they're still waiting for the israeli side friday night at ten o'clock at night i think currently in israel so we probably will not have that because it is sabbath until tomorrow but benjamin netanyahu and his team will obviously put their own take on this and i think one of the things i was saying on the bbc website and analysis earlier was that both of

these men are in a position where they're going to want to be as strident as possible for their own domestic reasons about what they said in this calljoe biden because he is under huge pressure for the reasons i talked about because everyone can see the conditions on the ground in gaza and he has been under huge pressure, particularly under huge pressure, particularly under parts of his democratic base to start trying to get them to change behaviour and we are months away from the us presidential election in a creates a very acute pressure on the us president and he needs to look and sound tough and thatis needs to look and sound tough and that is what they're saying in this readout. benjamin netanyahu has domestic problems, israeli protesters are back out on the streets and many what rid of him as prime minister and at issue is really merged into the pressure to get a hostage deal, to get the hostages released we have seen that also reflected to your statement and is under huge pressure in the way to benjamin netanyahu normally reacts and is under pressure when it comes to the american sister tried to show

an appeal to his nationalist base that he is capable of resisting american pressure and he plays on that and his version of over seven this call was very much around after the american society for the americans that and they're going to finish a mosque and rob font and it will be a very different take on the call that you would expect but in terms of there being a green light, and would've happened on a call like this. ., �* , and would've happened on a call like this. ., �*, , ., , and would've happened on a call like this. ., this. tom's previous was jerusalem and the perfect _ this. tom's previous was jerusalem and the perfect person _ this. tom's previous was jerusalem and the perfect person to _ this. tom's previous was jerusalem and the perfect person to speak- this. tom's previous was jerusalem and the perfect person to speak to | and the perfect person to speak to on that type of report. the mastermind of an armed robbery has been found guilty of the murder of a police officer — who was shot dead almost 20 years ago. piran ditta khan killed, pc sharon beshenivsky when she attended a raid at a travel agents in bradford in 2005. khan flew to pakistan two months after the murder and remained at large until he was arrested by pakistani authorities in 2020 and brought back to the uk. danny savage was at leeds crown

court to hear the verdict. killed in the line of duty. pc sharon beshenivsky, shot dead responding to reports of a robbery. she was murdered on her daughter's fourth birthday. this was the scene in november 2005. an attack alarm had been activated at a travel agent's in bradford. pc beshenivsky�*s patrol car pulls up opposite. she and her colleague, pc teresa milburn, cross the road to investigate. john brambani watched it happen from his nearby business. as sharon was approaching the door to the universal express, the guys inside burst out and bumped into and shot, seemed to shoot her down her vest. this memorial now stands on the spot where pc beshenivsky died. although only three men were involved in the actual raid here, there were seven members of the gang altogether. six of them were subsequently

caught, but the seventh has only today been convicted. he fled the country soon after the shooting and it took a long time to get him back. piran ditta khan went to pakistan. in 2020, he was arrested and last year was sent back to the uk. 30th november 2005, murdered police constable sharon beshenivsky. he planned the raid and was a lookout on the day. i'm not murder anybody. but he did murder a west yorkshire police officer. pc sharon beshenivsky lost her life in the most horrific of circumstances, in the line of duty. she will always be remembered. i would like to acknowledge the respect and dignity that sharon's family have shown over the past 18 years, and i do hope that today's conviction goes some way in enabling them to move

on with their lives. after her murder, sharon beshenivsky�*s husband paul visited the scene. he's had to live with those events since. i loved her very much and she were very full of herself in what she did and enjoyed herjob to the full, sort of thing, enjoyed life to the full. he has been in court for some of this last trial. for the detective who led the original hunt for her killers, there is one thing which still needs to be done. it would be nice for both officers to be formally recognised for the bravery which they showed in going into those premises, in the knowledge that there was something seriously taking place there. west yorkshire police never gave up on hunting down all those responsible for their colleagues' murder. being honoured for the first time.

my being honoured for the first time. my neck on his birthday, he is finally being honoured. honoured not for his age but for his heroic act performed 80 years ago. in cardiff wasn't alone in taking heavy damage praise to all who were involved playing a vital role in saving this particular building in the welsh capital. performed 83 years ago. during the second world war, uk cities did their best to protect themselves, but cardiff wasn't alone in taking heavy damage. praise and thanks were given to all of those involved in the effort, with today's birthday boy playing a vital role in saving this particular building in the welsh capital. it was in 1941 that a 16—year—old ronald brignall was walking home from college when he spotted an incendiary bomb land on the roof of city hall. they're designed to start fires. he then took it upon himself to climb on the drainpipes of this building twice to help extinguish the flames. firstly with a hose pipe

between his hand in his mouth, and secondly with a sandbag. the local paper described a local lad who was daunted by nothing, acting with daring and courage. there we are. ronald's family were present as he received a special certificate today for his efforts from the lord mayor of cardiff. # happy birthday to you...# a celebration for a centurion, for a courageous act performed in the most testing of times. tomos morgan, bbc news. this is 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

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. 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.
