hello to you, welcome. israel has agreed to send a delegation to a new round of talks on a possible ceasefire deal with hamas that would also see remaining hostages released. the united states, egypt and qatar issued a joint call for talks to resume next week in either cairo or doha, but hamas has yet to respond. fears have been growing that the gaza war will escalate into a wider conflict after the killing of the hamas leader ismail haniyeh in iran. alon pinkas was an adviser to former israeli prime ministers ehud barak and shimon peres. he explained how benjamin netanyahu came to the decision to send a delegation for a fresh round of talks. he's not listening to anyone. he's only listening to his political instincts, only manipulating the, you know, a given situation, thinking of how he gets through the next day. there's no long—term strategic thinking.

the thing is, where you're right in how you described it, is that the pressure was on the verge, was on the precipice of becoming very public. let's speak to khaled elgindy, political scientist and palestine programme director at the middle east institute. good to have you with us. and so we know that the three nations, egypt, qatar in the us, have released a statement saying a framework agreement was ready and knowing the details of implementation are left to conclude. it strikes me that that is the most contentious part of this, the limitation of this plan. that's exactly right. as they say, the devil— that's exactly right. as they say, the devil is — that's exactly right. as they say, the devil is always in the details. we have — the devil is always in the details. we have seen two or at least two vastly— we have seen two or at least two vastly different understandings of what this cease—fire deal would entail— what this cease—fire deal would entail from prime minister benjamin netanyahu. he's under the entail from prime minister benjamin netanyahu. he's underthe belief that a _ netanyahu. he's underthe belief that a cease—fire deal would mean

that a cease—fire deal would mean that israel— that a cease—fire deal would mean that israel could simply pick up the fighting _ that israel could simply pick up the fighting after the israeli hostages were released. that is a fundamentally different interpretation that i think hamas and others in the region would have. the cease—fire in their view would mean _ the cease—fire in their view would mean an— the cease—fire in their view would mean an end to the fighting even if is hot _ mean an end to the fighting even if is not explicitly stated in the agreement. sol is not explicitly stated in the agreement. so i think that's a core difference — agreement. 50 i think that's a core difference. ., agreement. 50 i think that's a core difference. . ., ' . difference. yeah, a core difference, and i difference. yeah, a core difference, and i wonder— difference. yeah, a core difference, and i wonder benjamin _ difference. yeah, a core difference, and i wonder benjamin netanyahu l and i wonder benjamin netanyahu saying the conflict can only stop once hamas has been defeated. does this suggest whether there is in a change in tone there or not? i this suggest whether there is in a change in tone there or not? i mean, i don't change in tone there or not? i mean, i don't think— change in tone there or not? i mean, i don't think there _ change in tone there or not? i mean, i don't think there is _ change in tone there or not? i mean, i don't think there is a _ change in tone there or not? i mean, i don't think there is a change - i don't think there is a change in tone _ i don't think there is a change in tone from — i don't think there is a change in tone from the israeli leadership. they— tone from the israeli leadership. they have — tone from the israeli leadership. they have insisted and if sort of scent _ they have insisted and if sort of scent both _ they have insisted and if sort of scent both messages at the same time _ scent both messages at the same time. privately, they tell their

american _ time. privately, they tell their american and other interlocutors that they— american and other interlocutors that they are ready to sign a cease—fire deal, they have agreed supposedly the deal on the table is the israeii — supposedly the deal on the table is the israeli proposal. but publicly, netanyahu is saying something very, very different, they will fight untit— very different, they will fight until the end, until hamas is destroyed and total victory. those are very. — destroyed and total victory. those are very, very different things. he is clearly— are very, very different things. he is clearly trying to appease the extremists in his government who threatened to bring down his coatition— threatened to bring down his coalition if he were to sign a cease-fire _ coalition if he were to sign a cease—fire deal while at the same time _ cease—fire deal while at the same time trying to appear to the united states. _ time trying to appear to the united states. his — time trying to appear to the united states, his key benefactor and supporter throughout this war, that he is still— supporter throughout this war, that he is still interested in a cease—fire deal. but he cannot really — cease—fire deal. but he cannot really have both. cease-fire deal. but he cannot really have both.— cease-fire deal. but he cannot really have both. how difficult will it be to reach _ really have both. how difficult will it be to reach some sort _ really have both. how difficult will it be to reach some sort of- it be to reach some sort of agreement given what we've seen in this last week and particularly of course hamas poz �*s decision to

elect yahya sinwar as its new leader, the man that israel holds response will for planning and executing those attacks but they were the seventh and commonly seen as one of their most extreme figures? how will that factor in any negotiations that the three nations, the us, egypt and qatar expect to happen? it the us, egypt and qatar expect to ha en? , the us, egypt and qatar expect to hauen? ,, ., _ , happen? it very seriously, locates the whole cease-fire _ happen? it very seriously, locates the whole cease-fire negotiation i the whole cease—fire negotiation process — the whole cease—fire negotiation process if— the whole cease—fire negotiation process if not undermines it totaiiy~ _ process if not undermines it totaiiy~ i_ process if not undermines it totally. i mean, the man who was assassinated, ismail haniyeh come it was widely— assassinated, ismail haniyeh come it was widely known to be a relative moderate — was widely known to be a relative moderate within hamas. he was a pragmatist. he had been in some ways a moderating influence on yahya sinwar, — a moderating influence on yahya sinwar, now that he has been killed, the message to hamas is negotiations don't matter, and policy does not matter. _ don't matter, and policy does not matter, whatever we may say in public _ matter, whatever we may say in public about a cease—fire, we are still committed to continuing this

fi-ht still committed to continuing this fight and — still committed to continuing this fight and so hamas has responded by appointing _ fight and so hamas has responded by appointing their enemy number one to lead the _ appointing their enemy number one to lead the group. and so it will make cease-fire — lead the group. and so it will make cease—fire talks much more difficult in large _ cease—fire talks much more difficult in large part also because people are waiting for some kind of retaliatory response from iran. and so it would — retaliatory response from iran. and so it would be odd if everyone returned — so it would be odd if everyone returned to the negotiating table next week only to have that process blow up _ next week only to have that process blow up yet — next week only to have that process blow up yet again because now a ron has responded with a retaliation against — has responded with a retaliation against israel. so it's unlikely that— against israel. so it's unlikely that the — against israel. so it's unlikely that the israelis did not anticipate hamas's— that the israelis did not anticipate hamas's response. and then they understood this would make the cease-fire — understood this would make the cease—fire negotiations much harder, and that— cease—fire negotiations much harder, and that irr— cease—fire negotiations much harder, and that in fact maybe netanyahu's objective — and that in fact maybe netanyahu's ob'ective. . ._ and that in fact maybe netanyahu's ob'ective. ,, ._ , and that in fact maybe netanyahu's ob'ective. . ._ , ., and that in fact maybe netanyahu's ob'ective. ,, ., , ., ., objective. stay with us, i want to brina in objective. stay with us, i want to bring in the _ objective. stay with us, i want to bring in the panel—

citizens who were in places which may not be safe for them to begin our leaving those countries as soon as possible. of course each of the previous discussion, it is incumbent on benjamin netanyahu to get back those hostages, is absolutely essential. we are talking about 120 people, is believed, who then held in captivity in unimaginable conditions for the last nine months, and netanyahu is under so much pressure domestically to get those people back. but at the same time, as your previous guest said, he has made no secret of what his war aims are, at least publicly, and his intention to root out hamas. they wantjust wonder has to how compatible it is a list cease—fire, with a peace deal, let's not forget that we have been in this position before. over the last year, there have been negotiations running hot and cold with all of the key players

in the different system of course is the context, the assassination of those key hezbollah and hamas players and the rest that iran can be brought into direct conflict with israel. at the moment i think that looks unlikely but weirdly about volatile, irrational actors in that region, so the west cannot be complacent. region, so the west cannot be complacent-— region, so the west cannot be comlacent. . , ., ., complacent. and you heard their annabella say — complacent. and you heard their annabella say we _ complacent. and you heard their annabella say we have _ complacent. and you heard their annabella say we have been - complacent. and you heard their| annabella say we have been here before. what is different about this time? how optimistic are you that this time is different? filth. time? how optimistic are you that this time is different?— this time is different? oh, i'm not otimistic this time is different? oh, i'm not optimistic it _ this time is different? oh, i'm not optimistic it off _ this time is different? oh, i'm not optimistic it off because _ this time is different? oh, i'm not optimistic it off because the - optimistic it off because the fundamental calculations of all sides— fundamental calculations of all sides have not changed, and in fact have sort of— sides have not changed, and in fact have sort of entrenched more towards this wider— have sort of entrenched more towards this wider escalation. and really the missing link here is there is nothing. — the missing link here is there is nothing, there is really no pressure on netanyahu to change course. he has been _ on netanyahu to change course. he has been in — on netanyahu to change course. he has been in the driver's seat since

to drum up support for senate candidate tim sheehy. with control of the us senate at stake, donald trump is hoping to help oust the democrat incumbent senatorjon tester. the senate seat in montana is considered key for the balance of power in congress. montana is not a battleground state for the presidency and has been solidly republican for decades. so let's talk to the panel again. drexel, and he start with you because talk to me about this schedule. we are sort of getting a sense of what it might look like now, 90 days or so out from the selection was a president trump saying i will do one a week, but for kamala harris, it's full on it, the foot and on the excelerator campaigning in these crucial swing states. , ~ , , states. listen, ithink this is something _ states. listen, ithink this is something that _ states. listen, ithink this is something that donald - states. listen, i think this is i something that donald trump states. listen, i think this is - something that donald trump is trying _ something that donald trump is trying to— something that donald trump is trying to run— something that donald trump is trying to run away— something that donald trump is trying to run away from - something that donald trump is trying to run away from a - something that donald trump is trying to run away from a record something that donald trump is i trying to run away from a record as president. —

trump had recently been making about kamala, about the democrats record in office, and again there were some discrepancies there. when i find sort of quite interesting really is that the republicans have gone on the attack so much was it was up or get a month ago everybody bought this election was a loser. donald trump had the assassination attempt and there was the absolutely amazing and there was the absolutely amazing and striking image of him in the immediate aftermath of it. nobody thought anybody will be able to touch them and air force were not expecting at that point forjoe biden to step aside, but now it does seem like the wind is in the democrat sales and it does seem like kamala harris is able to move the dial and that's what i was pressure on the republican party and leaving donald trump to have to perhaps behave even more erratically than usual. and one suspects it we are not once did that stop in the next

the brit was only able to put five seconds between her and the belgian to finish 36 points behind in second place. belgium's noor vidts took bronze, while britain's jade o'dowda finished tenth. a tearfuljohnson—thompson tried to sum up her feelings afterwards. i cannot even describe the words of this weekend is taken. i'm just so relieved, i'm so happy, i'm so happy that i've got an olympic medal to add to my collection. if the only one that i did not have. it's been so hard getting to this point, getting back to this point, so i'm just so relieved. there was also silver for team gb in the women's 4x100—metre relay. dina asher—smith, imani lansiquot, amy hunt and daryll neita had two tricky changeovers as the rain fell in paris, but neita was superb on the anchor leg.

neah evans and elinor barker won silver in the women's madison. britain went into the 120—lap race as the world champions and defending olympic champions, but they couldn't keep up with the italians, who lapped the rest of the field. but the brits remained in the medal positions throughout and won a final sprint to take a hard—earned silver. meanwhile, jack carlin took a dramatic bronze in the men's sprint, beating his dutch compatriot jeffrey hoogland over three races to win the bronze medal race. there was some controversy, though, when carlin mistakenly caused a collision that could have caused him to be disqualified. toby roberts won great britain's 14th gold in paris and their first medal in sport climbing at a games with a dramatic victory in the boulder and lead event. after a strong performance in the boulder saw him in the bronze medal position, roberts scored 92.1 out of a 100 in the lead to move

into provisional first place. japanese favourite sorato anraku needed to score 86 to relegate roberts into second, but lost his grip to the shock of both roberts and 6000 people in the crowd at le bourget. roberts' team—mate hamish mcarthur finished fifth. away from the olympics, lee carsley has been appointed interim england manager ahead of september's nations league games as the search for gareth southgate's successor continues. the 50—year—old has stepped up from his role as england under—21 head coach to replace southgate, who resigned two days after losing the euros final to spain last month. carsley led england under—21s to victory in the final of the european championship last season, beating — you've guessed it — spain in the final. the english football season is under way. sheffield united who were relegated from the premier league are taking

but it will turn increasingly very warm and very humid from sunday onwards. let's take a look at what's happening, then. this weather front will bring more cloud on saturday into south—west england and wales, and with isobars quite tightly packed together further north, that's going to feed in plenty of showers, particularly from west to east across scotland throughout the day. southern scotland, northern ireland keeping some sunshine. england and wales, quite a lot of cloud feeding in. at times, there'll be some light, drizzly rain and poor visibility through the irish sea coast there. top temperatures, though, 2a degrees. that's still 75 fahrenheit. but as we move out of saturday and into sunday, this area of low pressure is going to move in and allow the winds to change to a southerly direction. and that means we're going to tap into some very hot weather that's taking place across the mediterranean at the moment. so early morning cloud will break up quite quickly. a lot of dry, settled, sunny weather

right across the country on sunday. increasingly hot, increasingly humid. this weather front threatening to the north—west, but it will stay away during the daylight hours. 16—23 degrees likely in scotland. highest values, though, of 28 — 82 fahrenheit — in the south—east. that will lead to a very humid night to come, and on monday, the heat is likely to peak. we could see some record—breaking heat in bordeaux if we get temperatures in excess of 41 degrees. but for the south—east, we're likely to see temperatures peaking somewhere around 32—33 degrees. at the same time, further north, that weather front moves in, and with that heat and humidity coupled with that front, we are likely to see some sharp, thundery downpours. really quite torrential, heavy rain for a time. that will freshen the story up further north, but we've still got that heat and humidity clinging on in the south—east of england. one low eases away, another is likely to move in, again bringing some unsettled weather. not for all of us, but certainly a fresher feel as we go

through the week ahead. there will continue to be some lengthy spells of sunshine, particularly across southern england. showers or longer spells of rain likely further north.
