for this, and they will agree to sit and talk, but not for now, because now is the time for hamas to bury ismail haniyeh, which will take place tomorrow in tehran. it is like an official funeralfor him. and then on friday he will be buried in doha, where his family is, and then they will sit and they will choose who is going to lead the movement in the future. and then we can know exactly where things are going, whether to more escalation or to a ceasefire. and to that point, you're referring to a statement that has come in, that the body of haniyeh will be transferred to doha. we're hearing that it will be on thursday after a funeral in tehran. i wonder in terms of the ideology of hamas and what, you know, in terms of the way yahya sinwar has reacted in the past, how much will this affect the calculation they make in terms of the risk of their response and the way

that they view a ceasefire? because we've heard from some analysts saying that this reallyjeopardises ceasefire talks because of haniyeh�*s key role in them as a political chief for hamas. but you're saying that it could go the other way as well, that perhaps out of default, out of a lack of options, perhaps it could strengthen the opportunity for a ceasefire. well, look, hamas is a big organisation and they have their chain of command. they have their leadership. when there is a great damage happen, even to the leadership, and killing of haniyeh is real significant in the movement. we have seen how hamas has changed when the israel killed sheikh ahmed yassin back in 2003, when hamas was softening its position, where hamas was going more towards

political side, and when ahmed yassin was there, election was was something that was not in hamas�* mind. and then they decided to go for an election and they won the election. and haniyeh formed the government. so killing of a senior leader like this will have an impact on the overall movement. we have seen it in the past and we will see it after the killing of haniyeh. it's an end of an era in hamas, whether towards more extremist or more moderate. it depends on the person who is going to lead. and we are talking about three names. one which is more moderate than haniyeh. one who's a very close ally. and one that's more extremist than haniyeh.

he's somebody who was released during the exchange deal between israel and and hamas on shalit deal. and he's the one who is responsible for the prisoners, palestinian prisoners in the israeli jail. he's leading this file and he might be leading the talks after haniyeh. tea m team gb have won another gold medal in the men's triathlon. let’s team gb have won another gold medal in the men's triathlon.— in the men's triathlon. let's take a look. in the men's triathlon. let's take a look- what — in the men's triathlon. let's take a look- what a _ in the men's triathlon. let's take a look. what a finish _ in the men's triathlon. let's take a look. what a finish from _ in the men's triathlon. let's take a look. what a finish from alex! - in the men's triathlon. let's take a look. what a finish from alex! he l in the men's triathlon. let's take a | look. what a finish from alex! he is closin: look. what a finish from alex! he is closing stride _ look. what a finish from alex! he is closing stride by _ look. what a finish from alex! he is closing stride by stride. _ look. what a finish from alex! he is closing stride by stride. he - look. what a finish from alex! he is closing stride by stride. he is - closing stride by stride. he is moving — closing stride by stride. he is moving in— closing stride by stride. he is moving in and _ closing stride by stride. he is moving in and moving - closing stride by stride. he is. moving in and moving alongside hayden! — moving in and moving alongside hayden! and _ moving in and moving alongside hayden! and into— moving in and moving alongside hayden! and into gold - moving in and moving alongside hayden! and into gold medal. hayden! and into gold medal position! _ hayden! and into gold medal position! what _ hayden! and into gold medal position! what a _ hayden! and into gold medal position! what a run - hayden! and into gold medal position! what a run from - hayden! and into gold medal. position! what a run from alex! hayden! and into gold medal- position! what a run from alex! i can't _ position! what a run from alex! i can't believe _ position! what a run from alex! i can't believe it. _ position! what a run from alex! i can't believe it. he _ position! what a run from alex! i can't believe it. he runs - position! what a run from alex! i can't believe it. he runs off- position! what a run from alex! i can't believe it. he runs off intol can't believe it. he runs off into the distance _ can't believe it. he runs off into the distance. alex _ can't believe it. he runs off into the distance. alex has - can't believe it. he runs off into the distance. alex has gold - can't believe it. he runs off into . the distance. alex has gold medal potential— the distance. alex has gold medal potential now. _ the distance. alex has gold medal potential now, and _ the distance. alex has gold medal potential now, and it— the distance. alex has gold medal potential now, and it is— the distance. alex has gold medal potential now, and it is a - the distance. alex has gold medal potential now, and it is a final- potential now, and it is a final sprint! — potential now, and it is a final sprint! he _ potential now, and it is a final sprint! he was _ potential now, and it is a final sprint! he was kidding - potential now, and it is a final sprint! he was kidding us - potential now, and it is a final sprint! he was kidding us all. potential now, and it is a final- sprint! he was kidding us all along. he knew— sprint! he was kidding us all along. he knew exactly— sprint! he was kidding us all along. he knew exactly what _ sprint! he was kidding us all along. he knew exactly what he _ sprint! he was kidding us all along. he knew exactly what he was - sprint! he was kidding us all along. i he knew exactly what he was doing. he knew exactly what he was doing. he has_ he knew exactly what he was doing. he has broken— he knew exactly what he was doing. he has broken hayden— he knew exactly what he was doing. he has broken hayden wild! - he knew exactly what he was doing. he has broken hayden wild! he - he knew exactly what he was doing. l

welcome, nick. what is your reaction to events in southport last night? well, i mean, like everybody else i was shocked and horrified by what happened. obviously what began as a very solemn vigil to mark and horrific, horrific attack earlier this week, got mild and overtaken by people who are hell bent on trouble. it is important notjust to look at those who threw bricks and bottles, you know, dustbins at the police, but also those who were winding them up but also those who were winding them up online. but also those who were winding them u- online. . but also those who were winding them u- online. , ~ , i, but also those who were winding them uonline. . ~ , , .,. up online. yes. merseyside police have said those _ up online. yes. merseyside police have said those behind _ up online. yes. merseyside police have said those behind the - up online. yes. merseyside police i have said those behind the violence had been fired up by social media post which incorrectly suggested an islamist link to monday's stabbings. home secretary yvette cooper warned about this information link to the attack. what would you say to those who travelled from outside the area and took part in this? you

who travelled from outside the area and took part in this?— and took part in this? you know, obviously the — and took part in this? you know, obviously the police _ and took part in this? you know, obviously the police will - obviously the police will investigate and they will find out more. i mean, it does seem that the majority of the people there were local or from the surrounding areas. there were certainly some far right activists there, but the majority were not. what is clear is that many of the people there had taken on board the narrative that had been pushed out on social media, and it is really important to both look at that, but also learn the lessons stop as soon as the attack happened on monday, rumours started going around and these rumours then became facts in certain echo chambers. i think it is important as well that they were elected mothers of parliament pushing out some of these stories as well. we had nigel farage asking if this person was on an mi5 watches. we had other more extreme voices talking about how he had only

arrived last year in the country on arrived last year in the country on a boat. the problem is, if you look at the videos from last night people were chanting anti—muslim stuff, they were targeting the mosque, they were chanting "burn down the mosque". they had got this from other people, and both the social media companies need to look at that, the government needs to look at that, but also questions need to be asked of some elected politicians who were echoing and repeating some of these claims. in the context of what has happened on monday, and horrific attack, it was a very volatile, explosive situation. nick, thank ou volatile, explosive situation. nick, thank you very _ volatile, explosive situation. nick, thank you very much _ volatile, explosive situation. nick, thank you very much for _ volatile, explosive situation. nick, thank you very much for updating us. a thrilling day so far for team gb at the olympics. a thrilling day so far for team gb at the olympics— a thrilling day so far for team gb at the olympics. laura, bring us up to date.
