globally. world leaders have condemned the attacks as us and british forces reportedly intercepted more than 100 drones. mark white has the latest. >> well, the israeli government say that they managed to intercept, along with their allies, 99% of the projectiles launched towards israel. all eyes are now on the israeli

government to see what their response will be. >> the attacker in the sydney stabbing incident has been identified as new details emerge of the shock attack yesterday . of the shock attack yesterday. >> good morning. it was another triumphant day for trainer willie mullins as his horse i am maximus, ridden by paul townend , maximus, ridden by paul townend, stormed to victory at the grand national and there were no fatalities at aintree in the premier league. will find out which manager stormed out of his press conference. in tennis press conference. and in tennis there last on court there was joy at last on court for raducanu after a chilly for emma raducanu after a chilly but bright start for many of us this morning. >> there is some showers on the way this afternoon. join me later for the full forecast with all details. later for the full forecast with all good etails. later for the full forecast with all good morning to you. >> good morning to you. >> good morning to you. >> i'm stephen and i'm >> i'm stephen dixon and i'm ellie and this is ellie costello, and this is breakfast on . breakfast on. gb news. >> all right. there's lots to get through this morning. i'm afraid none of it's very good

news, but let's kick off with iran, which overnight launched an attack on israel. drone and missile strikes were launched. >> yes, more than 200 drones and missiles were launched by iran. and they were intercepted by israel and its allies. >> well, the unprecedented retaliatory attack marks the first time iran has targeted israel directly from its own soil . soil. >> well, in a statement overnight, us president joe biden announced an emergency meeting of the g7 while condemning the attacks from iran. >> here, the defence secretary, grant shapps, confirmed additional raf assets had been sent to the region. he also strongly condemned the senseless airborne attack that iran had launched on israel. >> well, joining us now is our home and security editor mark white and mark, this attack took a lot of people by surprise. we're understanding or the understanding was it was going to be a measured response. but this is unprecedented . this is unprecedented. >> well, certainly, that seems

to have been what the us was briefing out that it had received certain assurances through back channels that there would be what they consider to be a measured response . but be a measured response. but there's no way that anybody could see the launch of 170 uav's unmanned aerial vehicles or drones. and about the same again, and the number of crews and ballistic missiles from iran as anything other than a very significant development. the first time that iran has launched a direct attack from its soil, towards israel, israel, though, did rely to a very significant degree on the us for our assistance. the us confirming that it helps shoot down a very significant number of the missiles and drones headed towards israel. there

were reports as well that the uk may have assisted in shooting down drones. well, the british government so far have not confirmed that, but there has been a significant statement from grant shapps. the uk defence secretary , who confirmed defence secretary, who confirmed that more uk combat jets and supporting tanker aircraft have headed to the region. they'll be based in cyprus for operation shaden based in cyprus for operation shader, which you'll remember is that very long running operation over iraq and syria to take out extremists in iraq and syria , extremists in iraq and syria, they are directed and have been given orders to intercept any missiles and drones that enter their area of responsibility . so their area of responsibility. so all eyes now, i think, are on, benjamin netanyahu, the israeli government, to see what their response will be. >> well, that's where the pressure is going to have to come in, mark, isn't it.7 because

if that response is not considered, then that's where the potential for escalation comes in. >> yeah, absolutely. i mean, iran clearly, decided that it wanted to launch quite a significant attack on israel. they could not be, you know, anything other than alive to the fact that the israeli government would respond, that is part of benjamin netanyahu's, doctrine that, you know, anybody that attacks israel, will be attacked in response, very significantly . in response, very significantly. so, i think it's unquestionable that we will get, a response from israel . what israel will from israel. what israel will target, remains to be seen, and will they go in kind after the type of military installations that appear to have been the

targets on this occasion, we know that an israeli air force base in the south, in the negev region of israel, was struck by a number of missiles , but only a number of missiles, but only sustained minor damage. also military installations in the northern golan heights on the border with southern lebanon. so it might be that israel goes after, iran's military infrastructure . but as i say, we infrastructure. but as i say, we now wait really, to see no one really knows exactly what the response from israel will be, but that will determine what iran's next move is. and there you have the potential downward spiral into a very nasty and serious conflict . serious conflict. >> okay. mark whyte, good to see you this morning. thank you very much indeed, let's talk to us political analyst eric ham and defence analyst chris newton, who both join us now , eric, can who both join us now, eric, can i start with you.7 because

who both join us now, eric, can i start with you? because this puts a lot of pressure on the white house. of course, you know, this unequivocal support for israel. and yet, president biden is going to have to apply a lot of pressure. isn't he, to try to make sure this doesn't spiral out of control? >> that's right . spiral out of control? >> that's right. in fact, we know that already. the white house is touting what took place in terms of both the united states and israel's efforts to actually, for many of these attacks, as a strategic win . and attacks, as a strategic win. and so what we are now seeing is the white house is attempting to at least, speak to benjamin netanyahu to tamp down the pressure. but we saw a lot of that actually taking place this week with the secretary of state, antony blinken, speaking to his chinese counterpart, trying to put pressure on iran, not to retaliate. and we also know the pressure was also on israel as well. so now, over the next 24 to 48 hours, all eyes will be on. what will israel's

response be, if any ? response be, if any? >> chris, let's bring you in at this point, because we're just heanng this point, because we're just hearing there from mark white that 99% of those missiles and drones were intercepted. we know that israel has really sophisticated air defence systems in place , but is there systems in place, but is there a possibility that they could be overwhelmed . good morning. well, overwhelmed. good morning. well, i mean, the attacks and that happened overnight, you know, seem to indicate that the israelis, along with help from the us , and potentially the uk the us, and potentially the uk as well, you know, did manage to cope with the iranian attack, and the various missiles . but, and the various missiles. but, there is the possibility that, for example , iran could send, for example, iran could send, you know, a load of drones followed by, missiles . and followed by, missiles. and that's that's one way in which you could overwhelm the an air defence system. but it seems on this occasion that , you know,

this occasion that, you know, this, this didn't happen, but it also seems that israel needed, you know, quite some help from , you know, quite some help from, from the us as well. so, so we'll see in the future whether, you know, you know, if iran launches more attacks and, and whether the defence system can, can cope with it, of course, there is the possibility of simultaneous attacks as well. so iran launching attacks in conjunction with, you know, hezbollah, the, the houthis, and, the various militias in iraq and syria as well, and that that could, you know, have have the potential to get more, drones and missiles through. but but so far at the moment, you know, as you say, 99% intercepted and the israelis, in conjunction with the us and the uk has, has, has managed to dampen down the, the effect of the iranian attack .

the iranian attack. >> all right, chris, do we know really just quite what capabilities iran has at its disposal . disposal. >> yeah i mean, i mean, if you're talking about, you know, in terms of, drones and missiles, we, we know what some iran's capable of and in terms of drones, because the iran's been sending drones to shaheed drones to russia. so, so iran has, you know, considerable kind of stockpiles of drones. they also have a large stockpile of, of missiles as well, various , of missiles as well, various, types of, of missiles. we saw cruise and ballistic missiles used in, in this attacks , in used in, in this attacks, in this attack, in terms of iran's air defence system is not as sophisticated as, as israel's. it relies on more older systems , it relies on more older systems, but, you know, they still have a considerable air defence network and, and that will take, you

know, some, some degree of doing in terms of israelis getting through if, if israel chooses to, to launch a direct attack on iran , eric biden will be urging iran, eric biden will be urging israel to proceed cautiously with their next steps, won't he ? with their next steps, won't he? >> oh, he most certainly will. in fact, what we also know is that the biden administration has also been attempting to place an enormous amount of pressure on israel to not go forward with its military operations in rafah. and so now, one wonders if, in fact, israel, in fact, will go through with that, because clearly what we're seeing now is this is no longer just israel attempting to try to eradicate hamas. they now have to be concerned with iran as well as iran proxies. and i think what this what we saw take place tonight was more of a warning from iran, because those those missile and drone launches that took place from iran were

certainly telegraphed eight hours before they they actually reached israel . but what we know reached israel. but what we know is, lebanon is much, much closer . and those those rockets could have easily been launched from there , but they were not. and so there, but they were not. and so i think that's perhaps the next phaseif i think that's perhaps the next phase if there is going to be one. and i think what we saw tonight was this was this was iran attempting to try to save face, with this retaliation . and face, with this retaliation. and also, we know that the biden administration is also trying to tamp down on israel's response as well. and so i think what we're looking at here now is perhaps a, a an opportunity for both of these countries to be able to walk away with a quote unquote , win. unquote, win. >> i mean, the key word there, eric, is retaliation. i mean , eric, is retaliation. i mean, israel must have israel launched that attack, which, not on iranian soil, i think it was in syrian on syrian soil, wasn't

it, that killed some key members of the iranian military hierarchy. they must have expected some sort of response to that. >> oh, absolutely. in fact, we know that at least, we know at least 28 embassies. israeli embassies had been evacuated in preparation for this attack. the united states had already sent senior military officials over to israel in preparation for a potential attack as well. and so this was a this was an issue of when, not if this attack was going to take place. and now we see it. and luckily there was very minimal damage in israel because of both the united states and israel's efforts to actually thwart this attack. but again , as we've already heard, again, as we've already heard, iran has a very , very iran has a very, very sophisticated missile system. and so i think if they actually wanted something to actually work, i think it would have, which is why i think this was more bark than bite .

more bark than bite. >> okay. us political analyst eric ham and defence analyst chris newton, thank you so much for your time. let's talk to political commentator peter spencen political commentator peter spencer, who joins us now. >> peter, what's the reaction been over here thus far? >> it's a bit early to say, but i suspect that what the british government will do is continue doing what it has done all along, which is essentially following the coattails of the american government policy . and american government policy. and we note that, first of all, biden was absolutely foursquare behind israel. and then as the death toll in of palestinians mounted hideously to a point that there's now 30 times as many palestinians have lost their lives as israelis in the initial hamas attack. the president biden's rhetoric has hardened, and the british government's rishi sunak has hardened as an echo of that. and, and indeed , there's pretty

and, and indeed, there's pretty much only a fag paper between , much only a fag paper between, rishi sunak's attitude and sir keir starmer's attitude. the message i think we'll get now is the same as as president biden is giving , which is essentially, is giving, which is essentially, look, just stay cool, guys, because the fear all along has been an escalation into a wider middle east conflict. and sort of like kind of an echo almost in a, in a small way maybe of the first world war, when you get some obscure bloke with a fancy title gets murdered in sarajevo, and all of a sudden you've got a world war on your hands. that has been the fear all along. and it made it. >> biden has called a meeting of the the g7 leaders. what do the of the g7 leaders. what do you think the diplomatic response to this will be? >> well, it'll be once again, it'll be, look, just stay cool, guys. it'll be, look, just stay cool, guys . and i do note what has guys. and i do note what has just been said on this channel. a few minutes ago, which is, i think, essentially what we got

from the iranians here was they were getting something off their chest rather than actually trying to destroy the israeli state. they there's been a for tat and the hope will remain, and the hope will be very widely expressed that they won't take it too much further than that. okay peter, for now, thanks very much indeed . much indeed. >> to sydney. now where overnight police have confirmed six people have been killed and several others remain in a critical condition following the devastating stabbing at a shopping centre yesterday. >> well, new south wales police in sydney have identified 40 year old joel kouchi as the attacker at westfield bondi junction. >> well, overnight, sydneysiders have begun to lay flowers at the westfield shopping centre as tributes are paid to victims and first responders. here is new south wales premier chris minns, sydney has suffered a horrifying and violent attack on innocent

people who were doing something everybody does on the weekend and that is going shopping with their family and their friends. >> well, let's talk to a reporter for the sydney morning herald, anthony sieghart, who's a apologies. he was, his lines just gone down. we'll try and get him back because he's outside saint vincent's hospital in in sydney, where, of course, a number of people are still being treated for their injuries. i think we've got him back, anthony. all right, there you go . good to see you this you go. good to see you this morning. anthony. what's the latest on the number of fatalities and indeed the progress of those people who've been injured . been injured. >> morning, stephen and ellie. you're right. six people killed, a dozen more injured, a few more of them in hospital, a few people have been released over the last few hours. but those six people who were killed, we're learning more about them over the last few hours, including 38 year old mother ashley good. she was seen by witnesses throwing her nine month old baby into the hands of

strangers at westfield shopping centre at bondi yesterday. that nine month old baby is being held at a separate hospital, a children's hospital close by. here the family say that that child is doing well in the circumstances, but tragically her mother has passed away . her mother has passed away. we're also heard of the death of 25 year old, a 25 year old woman who is the daughter of an australian businesswoman, a businessman he in australia and also a security guard. the only male of six people killed by this man , who was killed this man, who was killed yesterday as he attempted to stop that, the stabber from moving forward . moving forward. >> what's the reaction? been in australia , anthony? because of australia, anthony? because of course, there must be this massive outpouring of grief for those six people who were killed, but also there was such scenes of bravery and courage in that shopping centre yesterday . that shopping centre yesterday. >> yeah, you're right. it really is sort of surreal that you have

this immense tragedy that australians are really not used to. one of the reasons for that is that australia has among the strictest gun laws in the world, so we don't often see events of terror like this unfolding on such a scale. but the other reason is that, like you said, there are moments of heroic bravery that we've from bravery that we've seen from police, members and police, from staff members and from a very brave members of the pubuc from a very brave members of the public inside that shopping centre. among them is the possibly most brave of all, the policeman who went up and shot the gunman, the shooter, her name. ashleigh i'm sorry. her name? amy scott. she's a detective , with the local detective, with the local police. witnesses say that she said put it down once before shooting joel county . that 40 shooting joel county. that 40 year old stabber in the chest. she then commenced cpr on that man alone, as there were no other police around to help her. and he later died at the scene. you heard from the new south wales premier, chris minns, before she's been labelled a hero from everyone from the

prime minister today. but prime minister down today. but there's side. these there's this other side. these six people are killed, dozens more injured . and also the fact more injured. and also the fact that it happened at such a pubuc that it happened at such a public place at westfield bondi junction is one of, if not the busiest shopping centre in australia. it's huge. over two high rises, everyone in sydney has shopped there many times, and the fact that we've spoken with a lot of witnesses here today and family of people that are still in hospital behind me here, they say they just can't believe that it's happened at a place they went to so place that they went to so often. and they always knew it was so safe, what know was so safe, what do we know about joel kowsky? i'm just looking sydney morning looking at the sydney morning herald, a piece you've written, for latest edition online. for the latest edition online. and, i mean, there's an image, there's an image of this man, you know, on the beach with a surfboard looking like anybody else. really? this is else. really? i mean, this is this is the shocking thing behind this. so what do we know about this man ? about this man? >> yeah, a lot of interesting details have emerged, and it is

only really 24 hours almost to the minute after joel only really 24 hours almost to the minute afterjoel kowsky the minute after joel kowsky walked through those doors at westfield. so all of this information is still new and yet to be processed and investigated properly by police. but we know that he was a 40 year old, originally from queensland in the north—west of the country. he only came down to sydney very recently and was living in a storage police say in the storage unit, police say in the inner city of sydney, a quick looking of his social media presence online reveals a lot of interesting things that sort of contribute to this wider picture of who he was, including the fact that he was , online fact that he was, online advertising on escort services , advertising on escort services, but ones where you sort of solicit sex workers yourselves . solicit sex workers yourselves. he'd also given a whole bunch of reviews for different businesses, including , knife businesses, including, knife shops, where he critiqued different knife owners , owners different knife owners, owners of these knife businesses for not handling his knives correctly, saying they weren't everyday knives, but special knives, he's also a member of different facebook groups . he's different facebook groups. he's ianed different facebook groups. he's invited members of the public to

go for a swim with him at bondi, and members of different groups for nudists singles , but for nudists and singles, but interestingly, police say they're investigating , different they're investigating, different mental health issues, including schizophrenia and the fact he used different drugs like methamphetamine and different drugs like that. and they say that of those six people killed, it's important to note that five of them were women. apart from that security guard, they're investigating a history of abuse towards women. >> i mean , as you say, >> okay. i mean, as you say, anthony, a full investigation is underway . you have been speaking underway. you have been speaking to eyewitnesses, haven't you? who were in that shopping centre yesterday as that scene unfolded , we got a sense from videos that we've seen on social media and tiktok of the chaos that was inside the shopping centre. what details can you share with us? >> yeah, it is utter chaos . the >> yeah, it is utter chaos. the stabber was on levels four and five of that westfield shopping centre. there's many levels there and many of car there and many levels of car park and beneath, which park below and beneath, which adds that level of complexity adds to that level of complexity of across two buildings. of being across two buildings.

it's really hard for police to know was happening know exactly what was happening in moment . and so the fact in that moment. and so the fact that sounds awful, that while it sounds awful, there were only that number of people that were injured and affected him is in some sense affected by him is in some sense what health minister ryan park has as a has today described as a miracle. but the chaos there has been seen with videos posted onune been seen with videos posted online and social media that show him running around pretty frantically and fanatically through different areas, a few different places in that shopping centre. he stopped by different people trying to confront him . one man took confront him. one man took a bollard from a nearby shop and tried to sort of hurl it at him on the escalators , but a lot of on the escalators, but a lot of other people have spoken about being trapped inside shops , being trapped inside shops, shops that they close their doors on in an attempt to lock down. they saw people that were stabbed by that man and they used clothes on the racks of these shops as tourniquets to try and stem the bleeding, it initially started as a lockdown before quickly moving to an evacuation with sirens going off and quickly over six dozen

health and police officers were on scene very quickly to try and address this unfolding situation. >> okay, anthony , good to get an >> okay, anthony, good to get an update from you this morning. thanks very much indeed. >> now at 623, let's have a look at some other stories coming into the newsroom this morning. and tim loughton has become the latest tory mp to say he will stand down at the next general election. the backbencher, who's represented worthing and represented east worthing and shoreham since 1997, served as children's minister in lord cameron's government, 64 conservative mps have either stood down or announced they will not be seeking re—election. >> nine people have been arrested on suspicion of committing public order offences dunng committing public order offences during demonstrations in london yesterday. tens of thousands of pro—palestinian protesters gathered in westminster to call for a ceasefire in gaza and to urge the government to stop selling arms to israel. a counter demonstration against what organisers called anti—israeli hate also took place. the suspects are still in

shorter gap as well. one of the fences was reduced and there was some. some devices put some. there was some devices put on ease the on the fence just to ease the fall as well. some some rubber devices put on there. >> good, well that's >> well, good, good. well that's that's news, can we that's good news, can we talk about erik hag. yeah. well about erik ten hag. yeah. well look on. well they they look going on. well they they man drew bournemouth. man united drew at bournemouth. >> there was a var controversy. i do think they the benefit i do think they got the benefit of, doubt. i think of, of the doubt. i think they're right get they're probably right to get they're probably right to get the penalty, fernandez the penalty, bruno fernandez scored. so that was two two. so not disaster the there not a disaster on the day. there was tough down at was a tough trip down at bournemouth. he's asked bournemouth. but he's asked a question old colleague of question by an old colleague of mine, pratt, just said mine, harry pratt, he just said you're danger now of you're in danger now of finishing seventh, which finishing below seventh, which is manchester united's worst finish league finish in a premier league season. don't the season. and don't forget the premier league season or the premier league season or the premier league season or the premier league now has been going 1992. that ten going since 1992. that was ten years moyes. years ago under david moyes. they although they finished seventh, although didn't with didn't finish the season with them umbrage to the them and he took umbrage to the question. said i don't question. he said i don't think ineed question. he said i don't think i need answer that and he i need to answer that and he stormed now, in stormed out. now, in my experience, steven, i think i can only remember in 23 years on the circuit, about 3 or 4 times when manager actually when a manager has actually stormed press stormed out of a press conference. it an admission conference. it is an admission of it's also an

of weakness. it's also an admission of i don't really need to be here i don't to be here anymore. i don't have to be here anymore. i don't have to that question. and to answer that question. and that they're going that usually means they're going to the summer. gerard to be off in the summer. gerard houllier at liverpool houllier did it at liverpool back kind of knew he back in 2004. we kind of knew he was going to going. he was going to be going. he thought, know why thought, well, you know why bother bother with bother with pr? why bother with answer questions bother with pr? why bother with answe i'm questions bother with pr? why bother with answel'm not questions bother with pr? why bother with answel'm not going questions bother with pr? why bother with answel'm not going que heres when i'm not going to be here next i used to have an next season? i used to have an argument friend mine, argument with a friend of mine, argument with a friend of mine, a journalist called martin rogers, works the states. rogers, who works in the states. now. said, look, we shouldn't now. he said, look, we shouldn't report manager report that if we're a manager leaves press conference leaves the press conference because that's our problem. it's not problem. not the fan's problem. but if i'm club, want not the fan's problem. but if i'n know club, want not the fan's problem. but if i'n know if club, want not the fan's problem. but if i'n know if my club, want not the fan's problem. but if i'nknow if my manager'snant not the fan's problem. but if i'nknow if my manager's left the to know if my manager's left the press he can't face press conference. he can't face simple questions. it's perfectly fair hag to face simple questions. it's perfectly fair that hag to face simple questions. it's perfectly fair that that hag to face simple questions. it's perfectly fair that that scrutinyface simple questions. it's perfectly fair that that scrutiny bye down that that scrutiny by saying, fans going saying, look, the fans are going to asking, yeah, i to be asking, well, yeah, i mean, listen. get mean, he'll listen. he'll get whether job. whether he keeps his job. depends finishes in depends on where he finishes in the he's if he's the league and if he's if he's recording league recording the lowest league finish premier finish in the premier league era. recall united era. if i don't recall united finishing seventh since probably about going about 1990. so we're going back even into the even further. well back into the fergie was fergie era. so i think he was justified in asking that question. harry. and i suppose people you're people would say, well, you're a journalist, say people would say, well, you're a journ but, say people would say, well, you're a journ but i say people would say, well, you're a journ but i think say people would say, well, you're a journ but i think that say people would say, well, you're a journ but i think that that ay people would say, well, you're a journ but i think that that was that. but i think that that was it was perfectly game. and it was perfectly fair game. and it's weakness, it's an admission of weakness, especially when especially in the era when you've saturation, you've got media saturation,

you've got media saturation, you'vegoing you've got media saturation, you've going to disseminated you've got media saturation, youtowards to disseminated you've got media saturation, you towards on disseminated you've got media saturation, you towards on socialseminated you've got media saturation, you towards on socialseminaand out towards on social media and everywhere everyone's out towards on social media and everywhesee everyone's out towards on social media and everywhesee it. everyone's out towards on social media and everywhesee it. don'tveryone's going to see it. i don't think it's look whatsoever. going to see it. i don't think it's no, look whatsoever. going to see it. i don't think it's no, it's look whatsoever. going to see it. i don't think it's no, it's not, whatsoever. going to see it. i don't think it's no, it's not, is1atsoever. going to see it. i don't think it's no, it's not, is it.soever. >> no, it's not, is it. >> should ahead >> should we look ahead to matches >> should we look ahead to ma'yeah. the race has >> yeah. the title race has taken yes. well >> yeah. the title race has takea yes. well >> yeah. the title race has takea twist yes. well >> yeah. the title race has takea twist really. yes. well >> yeah. the title race has takea twist really. we 'es. well >> yeah. the title race has takea twist really. we expected not a twist really. we expected manchester beat manchester city to beat luton town so go back town five one. so they go back to we have this to the top and we have this triumvirate keep talking to the top and we have this triumv don't keep talking to the top and we have this triumvdon't so keep talking to the top and we have this triumv don't so todaytalking about don't we. so today liverpool 2:00. they face crystal palace. crystal palace still needing stay in still needing points to stay in the liverpool the premier league. liverpool have struggling a little have been struggling a little bit in the last couple of games. we saw the defeat against atalanta we atalanta in the week, which we discussed they discussed on on friday. they went trafford sunday went to old trafford last sunday and draw then when and only got a22 draw then when they to win, so they were expected to win, so they lost a little bit of ground and then it's arsenal's turn. the to them at the pressure switches to them at 4:00 home to aston villa. 4:00 at home to aston villa. aston are managed by unai aston villa are managed by unai emery, who initially emery, the guy who initially replaced at replaced arsene wenger at arsenal back in 2018. and he'll go point to prove go there with a point to prove it's his first trip back it's not his first trip back there. i don't think as as villa manager, there's little manager, but there's a little bit of a of a dynamic there. the man probably should be where man who probably should be where mikel arteta is now failed in the to aston the job. he's gone to aston villa, well. villa, he's done very well. he'll a point he'll go there with a point to prove. a little prove. so it's a little bit trickier arsenal they trickier for arsenal if they both go back

both win. arsenal go back top arsenal back. well it depends actually. i think there might be actually. i think there might be a goal difference. i'll check that hour. you've a goal difference. i'll check that me hour. you've a goal difference. i'll check that me outour. you've a goal difference. i'll check that me out there. u've a goal difference. i'll check tha oh me out there. u've a goal difference. i'll check tha oh hey out there. u've a goal difference. i'll check tha oh hey first:here. u've a goal difference. i'll check tha oh hey first time u've a goal difference. i'll check tha oh hey first time not; a goal difference. i'll check tha oh hey first time not just >> oh hey first time not just horse i'm useless. >> oh hey first time not just horthat. i'm useless. >> that. >> that. >> it's . no but it's interesting. >> it's just so it's three way. yeah. it's three way. and then spurs newcastle spurs went to newcastle yesterday. so yesterday. lost four nil. so there's a little of a tussle there's a little bit of a tussle there's a little bit of a tussle there champions league there on the champions league places . so it's all to places as well. so it's all to play places as well. so it's all to play for and that's how we want it it keeps saying it steven i see it keeps saying every want a little bit every week we want a little bit of intrigue. some of intrigue. we want some things to still be resolved we to still be resolved as we approach last of the approach the last month of the season. champions approach the last month of the season. coming champions approach the last month of the season. coming cheweek 1s approach the last month of the season. coming cheweek as approach the last month of the seasosozoming cheweek as approach the last month of the seasosozomi city cheweek as approach the last month of the seasosozomi city somehow.k as approach the last month of the seasosozomi city somehow. can approach the last month of the seas thank you very much. now, do stay with us. we're going to be talking slater, and talking to tom slater, and candice holdsworth be candice holdsworth going to be going that's

next. >> it's 639. let's see what's in the papers this morning. and it's worth pointing out. of course , that what's happened course, that what's happened overnight iran and israel overnight with iran and israel isn't really in the papers. they've sort of missed that one because of the timings. but we'll start with the sunday telegraph as the prime minister attacking court of attacking the european court of human rights, the sunday times leads with business secretary kemi badenoch broadside against the over gender policy. the the nhs over gender policy. the observer reveals hundreds of children are being sent to private care homes, which ofsted does not regulate. >> the sunday express has a far left plot to hijack the labour party ahead of the general election . election. >> heck, what do you even begin with? any of that ? let's talk to with? any of that? let's talk to the editor of spiked online, tom slater, and writer and commentator candice holdsworth. good see you both this good to see you both this morning. morning, tom. let's start with sunday telegraph. start with the sunday telegraph. should we? and the echr.

>> so it's back in the news after this landmark ruling that the european issued in the the european court issued in the case of climate change. >> so it's a really remarkable precedent setting ruling, which basically said that the swiss government had breached the human rights of a group of elderly swiss women by failing to properly uphold its commitments to climate, to tackling climate change. so that wants to get to in the weeds of it. this is obviously causing a lot of concern, not just in britain in countries britain but in other countries as , that the echr is edging as well, that the echr is edging itself politics, itself even more into politics, that guise of this that under the guise of this being which people might being rights which people might think terms of, you know, think of in terms of, you know, your fundamental freedoms your more fundamental freedoms is now just creeping into climate , which is surely climate policy, which is surely completely out of reach, even from of the european from supporters of the european court. so you had rishi sunak responding this, condemning responding to this, condemning the worth saying the overreach. it's worth saying that at the echr that the uk's judge at the echr was one gave the most was the one who gave the most firm opinion this firm dissenting opinion on this matter , and even speculation matter, and even speculation that a consequence of this, that as a consequence of this, but of course, also the rwanda policy and the battles that that's had with european judges, that's had with european judges, that this is going to the

that this is going to lead the tories put pulling out of the tories to put pulling out of the echr into their manifesto. >> you think should ? >> do you think they should? >> do you think they should? >> think they should. >> i do think they should. i think leave the think we should leave the european rights. european court of human rights. i it's i think it's long come, it's long this long become clear that this is not about not really actually about upholding human rights, as anyone understand anyone else would understand it. it's through it's become a means through which campaign groups you want to then to bring a case. and then activist judges who want to stick their noses in can dictate policy . and i think particularly policy. and i think particularly in a country like this, we have such tradition of such a strong tradition of liberal the that liberal freedoms, the idea that we of we need the rulings of strasbourg to kind of keep us on the straight and narrow, i don't think has ever really added up. >> i feel similarly. >> yeah, i feel similarly. i feel undermining feel like it's undermining the democratic where, you democratic process where, you know, comes from democratic process where, you kno bottom comes from democratic process where, you kno bottom upwards comes from democratic process where, you kno bottom upwards , comes from democratic process where, you kno bottom upwards , notes from democratic process where, you kno bottom upwards , not from )m democratic process where, you kno bottom upwards , not from the the bottom upwards, not from the top and i know this case top down. and i know this case was brought by a group of women. so it to extent come so it did to some extent come from grass roots, but you from the grass roots, but you just don't know how representative are. and representative they are. and i just don't think you should be conferring people that conferring rights on people that they asked for. i mean, they haven't asked for. i mean, do people need protection in this ? is this actually this way? is this actually a popular thing has proper popular thing that has proper representation amongst the

public, is it just very public, or is it just a very sort narrow political view sort of, narrow political view that's finding sort of expression courts , the argument. >> and look, a lot of people will look at that and agree with you.the will look at that and agree with you. the argument about getting rid of the echr is, though partly least, is that, you rid of the echr is, though parthe least, is that, you rid of the echr is, though parthe liveist, is that, you rid of the echr is, though parthe live in is that, you rid of the echr is, though parthe live in thishat, you rid of the echr is, though parthe live in this this you say, we live in this this liberal democracy. and, you know, we don't trounce over human rights and all the rest of it. it would be argued, however , it. it would be argued, however, if the overriding pressure isn't there, there's a case to say, well, who knows what we would do? >> well, i actually think the opposite is the case, opposite is almost the case, because what have because the fact that what have we about from the echr we heard about from the echr doing in recent years, there's often tries doing in recent years, there's oftencroach tries doing in recent years, there's oftencroach issues tries doing in recent years, there's oftencroach issues ofes to encroach upon issues of democratic whether to encroach upon issues of der arguments whether to encroach upon issues of derarguments prisonersether it's arguments over prisoners voting, whether it's arguments over change. you over climate change. and if you look the most look at some of the most fundamental freedom of fundamental freedoms, freedom of speech is a good example. that's been trounced on by british governments, scottish governments, scottish governments recently , and governments more recently, and the echr is nowhere to be seen. governments more recently, and timean,r is nowhere to be seen. governments more recently, and timean, the nowhere to be seen. governments more recently, and timean, the hate ere to be seen. governments more recently, and timean, the hate crime be seen. governments more recently, and timean, the hate crime act;een. i mean, the hate crime act should surely something should be surely something which they should be interested in. i would surprised if it ever would be surprised if it ever actually became subject a actually became the subject of a landmark i think landmark ruling. so i think what's become clear is that it

has become encroaching upon has just become encroaching upon areas of policy, basically, rather than doing what it says on and even so, i agree on the tin and even so, i agree with candace, is even with candace, is that even something rights they need something about rights they need to be enshrined in a in your own domestic law your own domestic law and your own domestic law and your own domestic obviously domestic law and your own dorhave: obviously domestic law and your own dorhave: unwritten obviously domestic law and your own dorhave: unwritten obvibut.y we have an unwritten one, but still , it's we have an unwritten one, but still, it's something that, a nafion still, it's something that, a nation has basically fight nation has to basically fight for itself, if you see what i mean. and even in a situation in which those were being eroded, it's me this it's not clear to me that this kind of external imposition actually helps in the fight for those rights. how could it? in a sense, yeah . sense, yeah. >> well, let us know what you think. gbnews.com/yoursay candace, this is quite an upsetting story, isn't it? on the front page of the observer , the front page of the observer, yes. hundreds of extremely vulnerable children vulnerable school aged children are being sent to illegal, unregulated care homes. yes. >> yeah. so this. yeah, the story in the observer, which is actually not a story. this actually not a new story. this has for some has been going on on for some time . public provision of care time. public provision of care homes vulnerable children homes for vulnerable children has been very low. and the private sector has sort of been moving into it. but a lot of

these private care homes are totally unregulated, so they're not registered with ofsted. and apparently the care that the children receive in these homes is very poor because most of them have very complex needs. they come very troubled they come from very troubled backgrounds. they were backgrounds. and what they were finding in some of these care homes is that they're just sort of their own devices . of left to their own devices. they're neglected. this they're very neglected. and this is a big problem is becoming such a big problem now that the government is failing its obligations failing to meet its obligations in this area for children and social services . and then you're social services. and then you're also seeing it in social care as well. it's becoming incredibly costly, but the quality is very, very poor . and costly, but the quality is very, very poor. and i just wonder how we're going to resolve that at a time when people are already under a historically high tax burden and governments don't want to borrow any more, how are we these we going to pay for these things? with the rising, things? with the demand rising, so ? so much? >> yeah, yeah. >> yeah, yeah. >> i mean, it's i don't know where you even begin because we i mean, there is an argument to say we can move towards a far too society. no, too regulated society. no, absolutely .

absolutely. >> and i think it's also interesting how interesting to me that how unfashioned a cause the lot of kids in care has become like it's something which you hear horror horror horror stories after horror stories. there's obviously kind of scandals of previous abuse scandals people could point to, in people could point to, kids in care overrepresented care are very overrepresented amongst grooming gang victims and like this, all sorts and things like this, all sorts of, overlapping crises. if you like. but it's one of those things which just never seems to get the full attention. it's one of those things which a kind of those things which is a kind of those things which is a kind of sore and even in this of running sore and even in this kind age, we're kind of age, when we're constantly that people constantly told and that people are more open to thinking about the downtrodden and the oppressed and so on, this incredibly marginalised group in society, in care just kind society, kids in care just kind of ignored from that conversation, which i think is pretty shameful. is a pretty shameful. why is there a rise saying there's >> they're saying there's increasing kids in increasing demand for kids in care services. i mean, what's going in the wider society ? i going on in the wider society? i think that's something we really need well. need to look at as well. >> questions asked need to look at as well. >> tom, questions asked need to look at as well. >> tom, quelook s asked need to look at as well. >> tom, quelook at|sked need to look at as well. >> tom, quelook at thej there. tom, let's look at the express page, shall express front page, shall we, and us more about far and tell us more about this far left to labour. yes left plot to hijack labour. yes >> so this is concerns within the labour party hierarchy that

essentially keir starmer's troubles with angela rayner, which i know we're going to get on to if we have time, mike, create an opening for the left of the labour party or the of the labour party or even the left outside the labour party left outside of the labour party as fundamentally left outside of the labour party as this fundamentally left outside of the labour party as this concern antally left outside of the labour party as this concern that ly left outside of the labour party as this concern that if there's this concern that if angela rayner was to step down there's this concern that if an aela rayner was to step down there's this concern that if an a consequence; to step down there's this concern that if an a consequence of) step down there's this concern that if an a consequence of herep down there's this concern that if an a consequence of her legal/n as a consequence of her legal trouble, that there would be an attempt by the labour left to install a left wing candidate. there is talk of zarah sultana, who has been a kind of leading light of the kind of post corbyn left of the labour party. if you like , but there's also all of like, but there's also all of these candidates who are cropping around the cropping up again around the country either ex labour country who are either ex labour or party or outside the or green party or outside the labour party, who are standing against various labour mps, primarily the issue of primarily on the issue of palestine , essentially. so this palestine, essentially. so this kind of concern that we're going to labour civil wars come to see labour civil wars come back into focus because as everyone knows , whilst the everyone knows, whilst the labour party has this commanding lead in the polls at the moment, it everyone is it is not because everyone is going to the going to be rushing to the ballot endorse keir ballot box to endorse keir starmer, they're starmer, that they're they're absolutely loving him, that this is fantastic movement

is a fantastic movement throughout society. they are largely and largely winning by default and there is concerns even within laboun there is concerns even within labour. there's source here labour. there's a source here saying very saying we know our lead is very soft. concern that soft. so a concern that infighting could start to really hit them electorally. whether or not the labour left a kind of strong and organised enough to mount some sort of takeover is not entirely mean, i've not entirely clear. i mean, i've kind was struck by kind of i've been was struck by how after corbyn left, how quickly after corbyn left, they marginalised how quickly after corbyn left, they the marginalised how quickly after corbyn left, they the labour marginalised how quickly after corbyn left, they the labour movement,ed how quickly after corbyn left, they the labour movement, but within the labour movement, but at the same time it could cause problems for them because problems for them just because even this not even headlines like this is not going useful the going to be useful for the labour leadership. going to be useful for the lab no, leadership. going to be useful for the lab no, it leadership. going to be useful for the lab no, it doesn'tership. going to be useful for the lab no, it doesn't takep. going to be useful for the lab no, it doesn't take much >> no, it doesn't take much to frighten in the >> no, it doesn't take much to frightof in the >> no, it doesn't take much to frightof jeremy in the >> no, it doesn't take much to frightof jeremy corbyn. in the >> no, it doesn't take much to frightof jeremy corbyn. i in the >> no, it doesn't take much to frightof jeremy corbyn. i mean, wake of jeremy corbyn. i mean, you've got to say as much as people, you know , liked the people, you know, liked the brexit and they liked people, you know, liked the brexi'boris and they liked people, you know, liked the brexi'boris was and they liked people, you know, liked the brexi'boris was sayingey liked people, you know, liked the brexi'boris was saying and;ed people, you know, liked the brexi'boris was saying and let's what boris was saying and let's get on with it. i mean, that was clearly an election winner for bofis clearly an election winner for boris johnson. but also people were scared of jeremy corbyn. >> oh, absolutely. i mean, tom and i were just talking in the break about how twitter, you know, alternate know, was in some alternate reality . they thought jeremy reality. they thought jeremy corbyn elected. corbyn was going to be elected. but were in touch with but if you were in touch with the wider electorate, i mean, but if you were in touch with the knew electorate, i mean, but if you were in touch with the knew there)rate, i mean, but if you were in touch with the knew there was, i mean, but if you were in touch with the knew there was absolutely no

you knew there was absolutely no prospect of that happening. i mean, member mean, a family member of mine who's involved in labour who's very involved in labour politics north, i mean, politics in the north, i mean, she from going the she said, just from going on the doorstep , she see straight she said, just from going on the doors people e see straight she said, just from going on the doors people were see straight she said, just from going on the doors people were s�*happy. ght away people were not happy. and i think that this is something that the conservatives would hope get going again, hope to sort of get going again, like the sort of return of the corbynista left in labour corbynista far left in labour and that's their sort of way of undermining maybe what keir starmer has tried to project as this new labour image. and that's the only thing i think that's the only thing i think that's one of the few things that's one of the few things that the conservatives can hope for is a labour implosion. >> , yeah. mind you, >> well, yeah. mind you, it's probably big hope. yes, probably a big hope. yes, candice, can we look at the sunday mirror , because meghan sunday mirror, because meghan markle's brother has been has been attacking her. oh, gosh . so been attacking her. oh, gosh. so this is this family crises just never end, are they? for these two? >> it's just it's very grim, you know? so her brother thomas markle jr has started up a youtube page and in it, pretty much dedicated to just attacking and his sister. i mean, and mocking his sister. i mean, it's really you can see why he

was not invited to the wedding, why none of them were invited to the wedding, and it's really cruel. just low down loser stuff . he hasn't got a huge amount of views. i think people are saying, why is youtube allowing views. i think people are sayirallowing! youtube allowing views. i think people are sayirallowing him tube allowing views. i think people are sayirallowing him to )e allowing views. i think people are sayirallowing him to )e allo'his] this, allowing him to abuse his sister way ? but i just sister in this way? but i just think ignore him. i mean, the guy looks sad . i mean the guy just looks sad. i mean the life she's living compared to him. mean, she's really got him. i mean, she's really got nothing to worry but you nothing to worry about, but you just is just awful . just think that is just awful. how did someone, you get to how did someone, you know get to that they attack that point where they attack their in this way? their sister in this way? i mean, wears wigs. he mean, he wears fake wigs. he he pretends that he's pregnant. it's just it's vile . i mean, it's just it's vile. i mean, what motivates him to do this? >> i mean, whatever we happen to think of what harry and meghan are . yeah, this is this is are doing. yeah, this is this is this is family. are doing. yeah, this is this is this is family . and really, you this is family. and really, you should have more decorum and just go, you know, say what you want privately to her, but don't be posting it all online. >> no, i mean, even if they felt like they had a clear grievance, as the markles definitely as i know the markles definitely feel do . this is not feel like they do. this is not the way to do it. mean, it

the way to do it. i mean, it just makes look obsessive just makes you look obsessive and trying to and like you're just trying to get doesn't it? >> yeah. >> yes. yeah. >> yes. yeah. >> also fact >> yes. yeah. >> also >> and also the fact that it can even people even make a, for people on a show gb news actually show on gb news actually entertain some sympathy for meghan markle. how much meghan markle. totally. how much they it if that was there. >> well, there's just no need, is there's need to be is there? there's no need to be nasty. whatever you nasty. no, no, no, whatever you think , but royal experts such as think, but royal experts such as jennie bond have essentially called for youtube to take responsibility. i know they want him to be deplatformed, and i just think ignore him. >> going nowhere. >> honestly, he's going nowhere. he i mean, it's he really is. i mean, it's pathetic. i looked at the youtube channel. it is utterly pathetic. this is a desperate man with nothing better to do. >> yeah , a mail on sunday. tom. >> yeah, a mail on sunday. tom. angela rayner. yes. it's the issue that just isn't going away. but what i think this is significant development in that someone who used to work for her is now saying, oh, she lied over this. yes. >> so one of her former aides, this is before she was a parliamentary candidate , had has parliamentary candidate, had has basically in in a statement to basically in a in a statement to

greater manchester police, which are now probing whether or not she not tax law but she breached not tax law but electoral by saying she electoral law by saying that she was at her ex—council was resident at her ex—council house rather than her husband's house, where she lived with her, allegedly lived with her two children. he said that yes, she was her residence was lying about her residence there. he says that, you know, he'd her at this he'd gone to meet her at this particular place. it was quite clear that she properly clear that she wasn't properly living there. this obviously comes after reporting comes after a lot of reporting from the sunday and from the mail on sunday and elsewhere, that elsewhere, showing that neighbours spoken neighbours that they've spoken to was effing to have said that she was effing lying if to say that she actually lived there, she actually lived there, that she was refer to was used to even refer to herself the landlady of that herself as the landlady of that particular property, rather than actually that actually being someone that she lived. pressure, not actually being someone that she lived.because pressure, not actually being someone that she lived.because of pressure, not actually being someone that she lived.because of the ressure, not actually being someone that she lived.because of the factjre, not actually being someone that she lived.because of the fact that|ot least because of the fact that angela rayner herself said angela rayner herself has said that fall on her sword that she will fall on her sword if she is found to have been guilty of a criminal offence. we almost impossible to almost impossible for her not to say she spent say that, given that she spent the of the past four the best part of the past four years all years calling on for all kinds of mps to resign or to of tory mps to resign or to apologise various minor apologise for various minor legal indiscretions. but it's a it's a reminder, isn't it? i don't like the fact that we're

constantly having both parties demanding that the police launch investigations into their opponents. i mean, yes, it's important that mps don't break the law, obviously, but that kind tat can get very kind of for tat can get very ugly. but you can't say that this isn't angela rayner getting a taste of her medicine to a taste of her own medicine to a certain given the fact certain degree, given the fact that attack that she's led the attack against politicians. and against so many politicians. and for , not very for some of it, over, not very much, perfectly frank. much, to be perfectly frank. >> said time and time >> so i've said time and time again on this, i just don't understand why, if she's got this, this advice, legal and tax advice , which clears her on the advice, which clears her on the tax side, i mean, if that was cleared up, the rest of it had all disappear as well, presumably the the presumably on the on the election , if all election fraud side, if it's all there, not release it? oh, there, why not release it? oh, exactly. >> exactly. i mean, this is always what she's gone for as well. like tom was just saying, she's sort of been hoist by her own because she's always own petard because she's always calling her political calling for her political opponents to have more transparency . i opponents to have more transparency. i mean, opponents to have more transparency . i mean, before transparency. i mean, before anyone had even, you know, the police had concluded their investigation into boris johnson, was saying johnson, she was saying he should . i think maybe should resign. i think maybe that's because it's, it's

something that she uses on the attack, but she doesn't want to be used against her because she knows it makes her look vulnerable. understands the vulnerable. she understands the politics of it very, very, very well. there's sort of well. i mean, there's sort of one, you know, indicator that she that she's going to she thinks that she's going to be okay. she said, i will resign if they find anything that suggests confidence, doesn't it? if they find anything that sugyes.s confidence, doesn't it? >> yes. >> yes. >> it does, but it also kind of piles pressure on the police in the opposite direction , because the opposite direction, because now they or now that whatever they decide or whatever choose to progress whatever they choose to progress will have enormous political consequences. >> it could also kind of >> so it could also kind of chill it in that sense, potentially, yes . potentially, yes. >> we'll see. we will see, we will. >> candace, let's have a look at, our cats and dogs, shall we? they're tellee addicts, apparently. >> yeah. so this is a story in the star . there was apparently the star. there was apparently a, survey carried out by a heating appliance company called worcester, bosch, and 28% of its respondents said that they leave the television on for their pets when they're out, and that their dogs and cats really love it and that they have their favourite

shows. i must say, as a pet owner, find that a owner, though, i do find that a little strange. like my dog has never interest in the television. >> how do you know if they've got a favourite well, got a favourite show? well, they're not there, they? they're not there, are they? >> for well they >> hold them for that. well they capture it on camera. >> apparently. film the dog >> apparently. they film the dog cams . yes, but like to cams. yes, but dogs like to smell and hear things. smell things and hear things. they're not as guided by sight as are. as we are. >> as we are. >> curl up with a good book. >> curl up with a good book. >> television people >> yeah. television people i've heard. i've heard of the radio being left on for dogs. >> our family dog. always >> our family dog. we'd always put on the radio, we leave the radio it's meant to radio on. indeed, it's meant to be good company. feel be for good company. they feel like the house. >> see, i just never do because house. >think�*, i just never do because house. >think she'st never do because house. >think she's happy. do because house. >think she's happy. just)ecause house. >think she's happy. just sorthe i think she's happy. just sort of listening and, i think she's happy. just sort of smelling;tening and, i think she's happy. just sort of smelling .ening and, i think she's happy. just sort of smelling . and] and, i think she's happy. just sort of smelling . and shed, i think she's happy. just sort of smelling . and she doesn't like, smelling. and she doesn't need the things need. need the things that we need. >> well, that's >> yeah, well, i think that's true . they driven by true. they are driven more by their noses. true. they are driven more by the yeah.3s. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> they. on well there >> aren't they. on well there you go. well, that's the interesting you've got you go. well, that's the inpet sting you've got you go. well, that's the inpet telly you've got you go. well, that's the inpet telly addict you've got you go. well, that's the inpet telly addict that's�*ve got you go. well, that's the inpet telly addict that's notjot a pet telly addict that's not the tv or the radio on, let us know. >> i hope it's gb news radio if you are popping it on. she's in our house. very good. >> would have to be do

hills with temperatures closer to average and a little to average here and a little cooler south, with highs cooler further south, with highs of only 14 or 15 degrees through the rest of this evening, those showers becoming much more widespread across the uk, slowly pushing their south pushing their way south and eastwards go into the eastwards as we go into the early hours of monday morning, the south—east of england the far south—east of england perhaps holding on to some of that weather for a time. that drier weather for a time. but will but those showers will eventually reach all areas of the chilly night, the uk. another chilly night, particularly across of particularly across parts of scotland. temperatures dropping down single figures down into the low single figures but little less cold further but a little less cold further south, maybe 7 or 8 degrees. monday starts a very showery day across the uk. those heavy bands of showers continue to push their way south and eastwards through the morning. some sunny spells developing behind those showers but with a brisk northwesterly breeze that will definitely take the edge the definitely take the edge off the temperatures . temperatures through the day. and even continue to and we could even continue to see the hills see some snow across the hills of northern england and across scotland. day. scotland. another chilly day. temperatures south only temperatures in the south only reaching around 12 or 13 degrees. that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers . inside from boxt boilers. >> sponsors of weather on

gb news. away. >> good morning to you. it's 7:00 on sunday, the 14th of april. today iran has launched an unprecedented drone and missile attack on israel. as tensions in the region flare up globally. >> world leaders have condemned the attacks as us and british forces reportedly intercepted more than 100 drones. mark white has the latest . has the latest. >> well, the very latest is that some 320 drones, cruise and ballistic missiles were launched from iran and some of its proxies . the vast majority, proxies. the vast majority, though, were taken down and all eyes, of course, are on israel as to what its response will be. >> the attacker in the sydney stabbing incident has been

identified as new details emerge of the attack yesterday . of the attack yesterday. >> good morning. it was another triumphant day for trainer willie mullins as his horse, i am maximus stormed to victory in the grand national in the premier league. meanwhile, manchester city's win yesterday means over to and means it's over to liverpool and arsenal in the title race. and in tennis there was joy at last for emma raducanu , who, after for emma raducanu, who, after a chilly but bright start for many of us this morning, there is some showers on the way this afternoon. >> join me later for full >> join me later for the full forecast details . forecast with all the details. >> morning to you. >> morning to you. >> i'm stephen dixon and i'm ellie costello and this is breakfast gb news. breakfast on gb news. >> all right, let's crack on then with what's been going on, because it's been a very busy night. iran has launched an overnight attack on israel, an unprecedented drone and missile strike. >> yes. >> yes. >> an israeli defence official has revealed that more than 300 drones and missiles launched by

iran last night. it marks the first time that iran has targeted israel directly on its own soil. >> well, president biden announced an emergency meeting of the g7 while condemning the attacks and uk defence secretary grant shapps confirmed additional raf assets had been sent to the region, while it also strongly condemning the senseless airborne attack that iran had launched on israel. let's talk to our homeland security editor, mark white. mark, what's your assessment of what we've seen over the last ten, 12 hours? well a very significant attack from iran, bigger than i think the us and other allies had been expecting. >> there was some diplomatic back channel briefings, apparently, that suggested that it would be, a limited response from iran. but clearly the first time that iran has launched such an attack from its own soil,

normally, of course, we see iran using proxies in southern lebanon , or indeed, you know, lebanon, or indeed, you know, hamas in gaza or the houthis in yemen. but to actually launch drones, missiles , both cruise drones, missiles, both cruise missiles and ballistic missiles from its own, soil is without doubt a significant escalation, we are told. now, the numbers have been changing all the time. that 331, drones , ballistic and that 331, drones, ballistic and cruise missiles were launched at israel, of those 331, only seven missiles managed to get through israel's defences and impact and cause , we're told, fairly minor cause, we're told, fairly minor damage at an air base in the negev desert in southern israel, the vast majority of these aerial threats were taken down

before they even reached israel. the jordanian air force took down dozens of drones that flew overits down dozens of drones that flew over its airspace. we know, according to us president joe biden, that the us military was involved in taking down a very significant, number of these aerial threats as well. and add into that the israeli military itself , in the form of its itself, in the form of its combat jets, its naval assets and its iron dome and other missile defence systems . the missile defence systems. the vast majority of these missiles and drones were accounted for. but that doesn't mean that israel, at the end of the day, is going to leave it at that. there is no doubt that benjamin netanyahu is looking at retaliation. >> yes, as you say, mark all eyes now are on israel and looking at what a response may be, because any escalation is going to take the region into perilous territory . perilous territory. >> yes. and this is a real difficulty because , as iran has

difficulty because, as iran has said, actually in the form of a statement , through its permanent statement, through its permanent mission at the united nations, that this attack on israel was in response to that attack on their consulate in damascus on their consulate in damascus on the 1st of april. and they had the 1st of april. and they had the right to do that under article 51 of the un charter , article 51 of the un charter, the right to self—defence. but they also said that that first wave had been launched . but as wave had been launched. but as far as they were concerned, the matter was concluded. however, they added that should israel decide to respond, then they would respond in kind. and this is the difficult situation we could potentially be facing. it really depends now on what israel does. if israel launch is a direct attack on iranian soil, as many are fearing, then that will, i think also trigger

another escalatory response from tehran. interesting of course, that president biden has talked about the sort of ironclad , about the sort of ironclad, relationship with, with israel and the fact they will. >> but, i mean, there's a big difference, though, mark, isn't there, between saying we will help israel to saying, help protect israel to saying, well, we're going to support israel if they decide to continue this for tat . continue this for tat. >> that's an excellent point. and diplomatic sources are suggesting just that, steven, that although, president biden, he had an overnight telephone call with benjamin netanyahu , call with benjamin netanyahu, did, of course, reiterate that ironclad support for israel in its defence, in terms of what comes next, whatever israel decides to do. and as i say, we know they will do something, america is not, we're told,

going to participate in any of that action. america is and its troops in that region are facing a difficult enough time of it anyway. they will be seen as they always are, as legitimate targets as far as iran and its proxies are concerned. and the very fact that the us military took part in downing many of these missiles and drones will reemphasize, i think, in the minds of the ayatollahs in tehran, that that the us remains a legitimate target for them. >> okay. mark white, thank you very much indeed . very much indeed. >> well, let's talk to freelance journalist yotam confino, who's in israel for us this morning. yotam, what is the what is the mood there , there. because mood there, there. because there's been so much protest against what netanyahu's been doing of late . we've seen that doing of late. we've seen that build over the last couple of weeks or so . does this attack weeks or so. does this attack last night, does does that

change the dynamic? >> i think it does change the dynamic . and i think the mood dynamic. and i think the mood went from being, just anxious and anxious atmosphere overnight. fear for what this attack could actually do to israel, whether the defence missile system could actually work and to this morning, people waking up with a sigh of relief and even a feeling of achievement. it, like the idf said , it is a significant said, it is a significant achievement shoot down 99% of achievement to shoot down 99% of missiles coming from so many different directions. we have to remember, attacks were launched both from iran, from yemen, from iraq, from lebanon, all at iraq, and from lebanon, all at the same time triggering, sirens all across israel. so to have 300 and roughly 50 missiles and drones fired at you at the same time without anyone being killed or any significant damage, that is very significant. a significant achievement. and it goes to show that israel has a qualitative edge over iran's

military . and now israel is in military. and now israel is in its, is in its right to attack again. and it is expected that it will do it. and now it's a very good chance for , especially very good chance for, especially for prime minister netanyahu to do what he always wanted to do to iran's nuclear to attack iran's nuclear reactors . and it remains to be reactors. and it remains to be seen whether he's going to significantly . escalate to that significantly. escalate to that point. but nevertheless, israel has a situation now where it's under control. it has the backing of all of its allies, and it can launch an attack on on iranian without being on iranian soil without being condemned allies. condemned by its allies. >> how are people in israel feeling about that , though? all feeling about that, though? all eyes must be on netanyahu now about what that response will be. but surely if israel retaliates with a direct attack on iranian soil next, this could be a huge escalation in the region. >> it could , but everything >> it could, but everything depended on what happened last night. everyone waited to see how efficient israel's missile defence system is when it comes to that level of attack. now

that it's proven incredibly successful, i think most israelis would like for israel to really go hard because israel and we forget this because nobody talks about it. everything we talk about on the news is what's happening in gaza. has been under gaza. israel has been under attack for six months straight, every , from iran's every single day, from iran's proxies in lebanon and of course, also the houthi rebels in yemen and sometimes militias in yemen and sometimes militias in syria and iraq. this is this is quite unprecedented to have a six month period with with daily attacks, without the world rallying behind the country, that's that's being attacked. so now the mood is shifted. and i think israelis would like think most israelis would like for take advantage for israel to take advantage of this . the for israel to take advantage of this. the sudden for israel to take advantage of this . the sudden sympathy for this. the sudden sympathy for israel months of israel again, after months of being condemned what being condemned for what it's doing . doing in gaza. >> it's interesting, though, that you say netanyahu could act now and strike hard with without , condemned , at the risk of being condemned by is a risk, isn't by allies that is a risk, isn't it? it's a risk from biden. it's

certainly a risk from from the uk because not because they don't have a right to retaliate, but because people want to dampen this down now rather than fire it up. >> that's true. obviously it depends on what israel does. if israel were reckless, like iran and started firing, ballistic missiles and whatnot, all across iran and hitting, let's say, civilian areas , that would lead civilian areas, that would lead to an immediate condemnation of from israel's allies . that's not from israel's allies. that's not what israel's going to do. israel's going to go after its military targets . it's not military targets. it's not stupid to stupid enough, hopefully, to go out civilian areas in out and attack civilian areas in iran. that would make no sense. they should go after their military they military targets, which they will, very will, and it will be very difficult for the united states and for the uk, for example, to condemn such a response. they might say that want might say that they want to de—escalate the situation, but given what we saw last i given what we saw last night, i don't think that they can go out and publicly condemn israel for attacking iran's military after what happened and yotam, what does this mean for the conflict

in gaza , for israel's aims to in gaza, for israel's aims to wipe out hamas and to rescue those hostages? >> because surely with this now happening, this threat from iran, and there could potentially be attacks now from hezbollah and the houthis and various militia in the region , various militia in the region, could israel be overwhelmed ? could israel be overwhelmed? >> so first of all, hamas is very heavily damaged in gaza. it can't really put up a very heavy fight anymore. it does still have battalions in rafah. of course. that's what we've been talking about for months. but israel can allow gaza to cool off now to focus its attention elsewhere on iran. of course . elsewhere on iran. of course. and this is this is expected really this is good for hamas and good news, by the way. and this morning, hamas rejected another ceasefire proposal proposal because everything is going according to hamas's plan. six months in and the region is finally on the brink of being dragged into a full on regional war with iran finally attacking israel. that's what hamas hoped

they would do right after october 7th. they didn't. now they have. this is perfect . they have. this is perfect. hamas leaders sit somewhere in a tunnelin hamas leaders sit somewhere in a tunnel in gaza with whatever devices, watching the news on and he is over overly happily about this situation. it couldn't have been better for him. he doesn't have to release hostages now, because focus will be iran and he's be on israel and iran and he's got a life guarantee really, for him with all the hostages , him with all the hostages, inside gaza, for now, at least, it's not over. but for now , it's not over. but for now, that's the situation. >> okay. yotam, thanks very much indeed. >> now to sydney, where overnight police have confirmed six people have been killed and several others remain in a critical condition following the devastating stabbing at a shopping centre there yesterday. >> well, police in new south wales have identified 40 year old joel kowsky as the attacker at westfield bondi junction . at westfield bondi junction. >> well, sydneysiders have begun to lay flowers at the westfield

shopping centre as tributes are paid to victims and first responders. here's the new south wales premier , chris minns. wales premier, chris minns. >> sydney has suffered a horrifying and violent attack on innocent people who were doing something everybody does on the weekend and that is going shopping family shopping with their family and their . their friends. >> okay, let's talk to former australian member of parliament tim smith, who joins us now . tim smith, who joins us now. can't imagine tim, quite what, the state of shock is going to be as this investigation continues, the aftermath of this dreadful attack is going to haunt sydneysiders for, for many , many weeks to come , yes. good , many weeks to come, yes. good morning guys . it's, i mean, i morning guys. it's, i mean, i wish i actually wasn't wasn't , wish i actually wasn't wasn't, wasn't speaking to you this morning about this because it's such an horrific event, and one of my closest friends, best friend's daughter was murdered. and, i mean, the shock of that

which when i was informed about this last night, was absolutely unbelievable. and my heart goes out to all the families who've lost, loved ones in this senseless and shocking attack , senseless and shocking attack, you just don't think that bondi junction, you're going to go to a shopping mall on a saturday afternoon and see a mass murder. and that's what sydneysiders were faced with on saturday afternoon. and again, i'm just completely shocked. i mean, i have been to that shopping centre so many times , and to see centre so many times, and to see that horrific violence , is just that horrific violence, is just it's unbelievable . and again, my it's unbelievable. and again, my heart goes out to all the people that have lost , lost loved heart goes out to all the people that have lost, lost loved ones and, it's just it's such an unbelievable tragedy for australia , tim. australia, tim. >> we can hear the emotion and the shock in your voice there. and we're really sorry to hear about your friend's daughter, who so sadly lost her life yesterday. it is a lot to process , isn't it, for process, isn't it, for australians. it's not something that see very often at all

that you see very often at all in your country, and you'll have the six people, of course, that outpouring of grief for those six that died yesterday, and i'm sure there's also a reflection on the moments of bravery and real courage that you saw from your fellow australians yesterday , the extraordinary yesterday, the extraordinary bravery of, the police inspector, the new south wales police inspector, amy scott, was unbelievable . unbelievable. >> well, she she ran towards the screams and the violence, and she shot the assailant , without she shot the assailant, without even thinking about it. and it just shows you the immense bravery of our police force and our first responders, and it shows you also the bravery of random members of the public, there was a man who used a bollard to stop, the murderer from coming up an escalator, he saved lives . so, i mean, there saved lives. so, i mean, there were members of the public that were members of the public that

were police force members who did unbelievable work to save members of the public. it had that police officer not been there , and she just happened to there, and she just happened to be in the vicinity , this would be in the vicinity, this would have been a far worse tragedy than what took place, there have been six people who have died quite tragically, but had that police officer not been there and had not discharged her firearm in the way that she did, this would have been much worse . this would have been much worse. so i thank that new south wales police officer for her immense bravery and she saved lives, and thank god that she did . but thank god that she did. but again, i mean, a 25 year old girl was murdered going shopping on a saturday afternoon in sydney, this girl was a very close friend of a friend of mine. and my heart just breaks for their family. it really does . other questions to be asked about this. >> i mean, from what we know of

the suspect, the killer here, not a terrorist attack that's been ruled out. maybe someone who's disturbed, been disturbed in some way or other, other questions to be asked of the police or the authorities as to why perhaps he wasn't being more closely monitored . closely monitored. >> look, i'm sure that will happen. i'm sure there will be an investigation . i'm sure that an investigation. i'm sure that people legitimately ask people will legitimately ask questions, from what i have questions, but from what i have read, the murderer had schizophrenia, it was a lone wolf attack, so to speak, he was wielding a knife. australia has some of the toughest gun laws in the world. but at the end of the day, you can't stop people buying can you? buying kitchen knives, can you? and i mean, i'm sure there will be an investigation. i as i understand it, this man was known to police. so the question will be inevitably asked, well, why monitored why wasn't he monitored more closely ? but i do think we have

closely? but i do think we have to understand that there are people society who are people in society who are disturbed. this man was clearly disturbed. this man was clearly disturbed and unfortunately , he, disturbed and unfortunately, he, he's murdered six people in a shopping mall. and it's not a tragedy , i don't think that tragedy, i don't think that anyone is to blame here, except for the. except for the murderer himself. but i'm sure there will be an investigation. and the various authorities will get to the bottom of what actually happened here. >> absolutely horrific . >> yeah, absolutely horrific. tim, just for us here in the uk, you've westfield you've described westfield shopping centre. you said that you've shopped yourself. you've shopped there yourself. it is a huge crime scene isn't it, for police now it, for police to now investigate. they've promised this lengthy and precise investigation . but it is a very, investigation. but it is a very, very large shopping centre. isn't it? and that does help us to understand some of the scenes of chaos that we saw on social media yesterday, trying media yesterday, people trying to building . to get out of that building. >> well, bondi junction, westfield makes bondi junction, makes the westfield at shepherd's bush look rather

small, to be honest, to put that in london parlance. so it is an enormous shopping centre and, it's now currently closed. it's a huge crime scene, for , for a huge crime scene, for, for people who are watching this morning and listening on radio this shopping centre in bondi junction in is literally junction in sydney is literally one of the biggest shopping centres australia . and for it centres in australia. and for it to be closed and for it to be a murder scene is just unbelievable. so all i can say is , no one would have predicted is, no one would have predicted this a couple of days ago and for it to have occurred in the way that it did, i think will have shocked sydney and indeed australia to its very core , okay. >> tim smith, appreciate your time . thank you. time this morning. thank you. >> i think it is really important actually to applaud that police officer as tim. oh yeah. >> amy scott well, the one thing ihave >> amy scott well, the one thing i have thought about with her repeatedly is she will be she'll be in an absolute state of

shock. >> yeah. the taking of a life , >> yeah. the taking of a life, even under those circumstances is not easy. and she will need help through that. and there's been pictures of online, which you probably don't want to see, to be fair, but have but have her kneeling over the body and checking the body afterwards. you know , was she doing what you can? >> she actually administered cpr, doesn't she? >> yeah. i mean, she shoots him. >> yeah. i mean, she shoots him. >> it's incredibly brave what she did, but there are consequences to that. and she will to deal with that. and will have to deal with that. and it not easy. will have to deal with that. and it and ot easy. will have to deal with that. and it and she easy. will have to deal with that. and it and she looks'. will have to deal with that. and it and she looks young herself >> and she looks young herself as well. i mean, usually police officers travel in pairs, don't they?it officers travel in pairs, don't they? it was, quite rare for her to be by herself , but she ran to be by herself, but she ran towards the chaos, ran towards the screams. >> incredible job. >> incredible job. >> just such bravery, such courage. and the first responders have been fantastic in this situation. and no doubt she saved so many lives , as did she saved so many lives, as did that man that you spoke about with a ballad, could we have done that? you look at things

like that and think, would would i done that? just i have done that? and i just don't know. >> like think would don't know. >> like.ike think would don't know. >> like toe think would don't know. >> like to thinkiink would don't know. >> like to think you would. jld you like to think you would. >> standing at the >> but i mean, standing at the top escalator with big top of the escalator with a big bollard this bollard and stopping this big fella with a very big knife from coming up, it's incredible bravery. >> and i was hearing this morning from an eyewitness that that man who who kind of defended that escalator to stop the attacker coming up the escalator on that level that he was defending was a children's play was defending was a children's play area. so that's why that man had stepped in in that way and no doubt saved so many lives, especially of little ones . so those people need to be applauded in this . applauded in this. >> yeah, i hope they get some recognition off the back of this. yeah >> medals of bravery certainly just , and of course, just remarkable, and of course, huge outpouring of grief for those six that died. i mean, a 25 year girl. we're just 25 year old girl. we're just heanng 25 year old girl. we're just hearing from there that that tim knew, just absolutely horrific, isn't it? >> and then, of course, the mother of that young mum, and when you look at, i mean, it's

heartbreaking to see pictures of her online now. >> i mean, gorgeous lady, beautiful woman, with her nine month old child who's still in hospital with serious injuries, it just beggars belief. it absolutely beggars belief. but anyway, at least the it's not an ongoing investigation to try and find this man. no, you've got to. and he was working alone. so at least that, you know, it's been dealt with in that sense. but that's obviously cold comfort for anyone involved in this i should think. >> certainly is. look, a 7:23. let's take a look at some other stories coming into the newsroom this morning. >> yeah, tim loughton become >> yeah, tim loughton has become the latest tory mp to say he's standing down at the next election . he's represented east election. he's represented east worthing shoreham since 1997 worthing and shoreham since 1997 and served as children's minister in david cameron's government. 64 tory mps have announced they will not be seeking re—election . seeking re—election. >> nine people have been arrested on suspicion of

i >> -- >> okay. >> okay. >> time to take you through the

papers this morning. candice holdsworth tom slater are here. good to see you. morning. this morning. tom, what's the sunday times got for us? >> so this is a story about the survivors of the manchester arena bombing who are now mounting a lawsuit against m15 over already kind of widely reported revelations that they were in possession of at least two pieces of evidence which could have to led that horrendous attack killing 22 people, many of them very young children, from being averted. this is something which has come up in the in the official inquiry so far that they were privy to information and to be honest, all kind of layers of honest, it all kind of layers of policing and of security policing and of the security services there seems to have been a profound failure because not only was this gentleman, salman abedi, islamist salman abedi, the islamist terrorist to have terrorist bomber, known to have been radicalised to some degree, he was also kind of flying back and forth between the uk and libya , where his family libya, where his family originally from. he seemingly was actually trained in bomb making in that part of the world, so huge questions to

answer here about how this was was allowed to happen, given the fact wasn't someone who fact this wasn't someone who had had with islamist had no contact with islamist extremist groups, this wasn't someone everyone someone who everyone was surprised find out that he surprised to find out that he had taken been taken down this particular but in part particular path. but in part because those failures, that because of those failures, that horrendous back in 2017 horrendous tragedy back in 2017 took place and seemingly might have able to have been have been able to have been averted. like . averted. it seems like. >> yeah, and you know what? >> yeah, and you know what? >> i'm uncomfortable with this, though. i and i get my niece was there and she was really she was really badly traumatised by all of that. i mean, it's horrific. it's just utterly horrific . it's just utterly horrific. however, i don't think when mistakes are made, lessons need to be learned . i don't know that to be learned. i don't know that suing everything, being about money in effect, is the right way to take it. >> well, it's the way so many things are going now. >> we're going we're moving more towards the as sort of towards the law as we sort of feel institutions are feel our institutions are failing us. i mean, there are so many what ifs with the salman abedi , situation. you know, what

abedi, situation. you know, what if picked up if he had never been picked up by ship, what if when he'd by that ship, what if when he'd been when he'd disembarked, he'd been when he'd disembarked, he'd been stopped because he'd been fighting in libya? what if the security guard had felt confident to raise his concerns when saw loitering in the when he saw him loitering in the foyer? i mean, there's so many things you could and things that you could say. and so many sort ways that you so many sort of ways that you could the story could sort of retrofit the story to have a good outcome. but that isn't happened. that isn't to have a good outcome. but that isn'way happened. that isn't to have a good outcome. but that isn' way that ppened. that isn't to have a good outcome. but that isn' way that the ned. that isn't to have a good outcome. but that isn' way that the events at isn't to have a good outcome. but that isn' way that the events went.t the way that the events went. and you have able to learn and you have to be able to learn with from them, as with that, learn from them, as you i that you say. but i think that the era now , it is a time era we're in now, it is a time of people don't trust each other. there's declining trust in institutions, and so people immediately go on the on the attack and they sue and they they try and get justice that way. yeah. >> but i imagine mean, you >> but i imagine i mean, you can't imagine what those families are going through. but can't imagine what those fanthem are going through. but can't imagine what those fanthem readingg through. but can't imagine what those fanthem reading this ough. but can't imagine what those fanthem reading this sort|. but can't imagine what those fanthem reading this sort ofyut for them reading this sort of information, it's salt in the wound for them. and this is perhaps the only thing they can do to feel though they can do to feel as though they can get some sort of justice. >> they're stressing >> and i think they're stressing as also about as well that this is also about holding justice. >> closest thing they >> it's the closest thing they can get to.

>> i mean, the thing i do wonder if people sort of think, well, this somebody responsible, this hold somebody responsible, this hold somebody responsible, this will make it. >> well, i suppose also >> well, well, i suppose it also it the of sense it provides the sort of sense of, there actually being a consequence you screw consequence for when you screw up, screw up feels like such a weak word for it to this sort of degree. but the thing is degree. but the other thing is that, gestured to it that, and you gestured to it there, this was a there, the fact that this was a kind systems failure well, there, the fact that this was a kindthere's:ems failure well, there, the fact that this was a kindthere's somethinge well, there, the fact that this was a kindthere's something that vell, there, the fact that this was a kindthere's something that the like there's something that the inquiry has turned up, is that everyone security guard everyone from the security guard on basically on the night who basically didn't concerns about on the night who basically didnvery concerns about on the night who basically didnvery cyoung s about on the night who basically didnvery cyoung manyut this very sweaty young man carrying backpack carrying this massive backpack because was afraid of being because he was afraid of being accused . there's accused of islamophobia. there's questions about the kind questions about the general kind of programs of anti—radicalization programs that are seemingly constantly go missing in relation to actual dangerous radicals, but are constantly flagging up people who probably the security services shouldn't be particularly interested so particularly interested in. so is that unfortunate thing of trying to find a kind of one culprit or one institution that's the culprit, rather than something which is obviously a bit broader than we always want someone to blame, don't we? >> like, want >> well, like, do you want to pin the blame on on one person?

and they say, it's not that . and they say, it's not that. sadly, it's not that simple, candace, what's the what what sunday people looking at yvette cooper and her promise on women's safety. >> yeah. so yvette cooper has been saying that labour wants to try and change the way that domestic violence is dealt with. because at the moment they're saying that there are certain inadequacies in system that inadequacies in the system that have led to women being murdered. she wants to create murdered. so she wants to create something called regimes law, which after this poor which is after this, this poor woman called raneem odeh, who was murdered by her ex. she called police four times and they failed to arrive and he murdered her. she's also mentioned sarah everard as well, who was kidnapped and murdered by wayne couzens. i mean, there have been numerous reports of wayne couzens exposing himself doing things, and police weren't responding to it. so she's saying that what they'll do is they'll impose time limits on forces. so if something is reported, some sort of violence or behaviour towards women, you only have a certain amount of

time in which to consider whether to take action. it's an interesting thing. i mean, i think we know that, these things escalate over time. you know, wayne couzens didn't just murder sarah everard out of nowhere. he had a track record of maybe more minor activity that steadily got worse over time . that's usually worse over time. that's usually the case. that's usually what happens. they're often known to police, and there have been numerous reports against them. i know that things like stalking are stalking very are not very stalking isn't very well understood . often women well understood. often women report it many, many, many , many report it many, many, many, many times before something is done, before they feel a threat to their life , and it's very rare their life, and it's very rare that you'd get sentence that you'd ever get a sentence for for, stalking. yes, yes. >> yeah. i'm just wondering, and i don't know if labour would ever go for though, if ever go for this though, is if we need stricter we do just need stricter sentencing down sentencing earlier down the line, sort broken line, that sort of broken windows where you crack windows policy where you crack down early on and then you prevent it escalating and getting worse. >> yeah, possibly. possibly. we've got two minutes left. >> and tom, i wanted to take a look at this story because

andrew pierce this parish andrew pierce of this parish raised question. raised this very question. i think a couple of days think it was a couple of days ago. so might on ago. so it might have been on friday. would churchill friday. what would churchill think rishi smoking think of rishi sunak's smoking ban? according the >> yes. well, according to the health victoria health secretary victoria atkins, he'd be really up for it. the fact he's it. despite the fact he's estimated smoked about estimated to have smoked about like his like 160,000 cigars in his life. that he would actually be really in favour of it for reasons that i failed to grasp even after read in newspaper. read her piece in the newspaper. but this also comes off the back of boris johnson making headunes of boris johnson making headlines well, saying why is headlines as well, saying why is the churchill the party of churchill introducing ban on, introducing this ban on, cigarette sales and tobacco sales , which is going to sales, which is going to introduce this ridiculous kind of escalator where, you know, at some point in the future there'll be like a 52 year old begging a 53 year old to buy them. >> well, they won't be, because he won't want one. no. >> you know, the idea of escapism . but no, what a what a escapism. but no, what a what a damning indictment. and it seems like to be a big like this is going to be a big rebellion mps as well like this is going to be a big retmany mps as well like this is going to be a big retmany of mps as well like this is going to be a big retmany of us mps as well like this is going to be a big retmany of us are. mps as well like this is going to be a big retmany of us are. 100; as well like this is going to be a big retmany of us are. 100 are well like this is going to be a big retmany of us are. 100 are going as many of us are. 100 are going to their to apparently make their presence when presence felt on tuesday when this debated. but this is first debated. but i don't know. >> don't know what think >> i don't know what i think

about understand about this. i can understand people liking being people not liking things being banned, but the argument which people make, which is what you made, of course, isn't ever going is it? yeah. going to happen, is it? yeah. >> i mean, i hope that just >> i mean, i hope that it just collapses of collapses under the weight of its own ridiculousness, because collapses under the weight of itsthe1 ridiculousness, because collapses under the weight of itsthe1 ridioflousness, because collapses under the weight of itsthe1 ridiof the ness, because collapses under the weight of itsthe1 ridiof the ness,people.e at the end of the day, people should do what should just be able to do what they want. >> such a em“ >> well, it's such a good point. >> well, it's such a good point. >> you very much indeed. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> take look at the >> let's take a look at the weather with ellie. >> that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers , sponsors of boxt boilers, sponsors of weather on . gb news. weather on. gb news. >> good morning. welcome to your latest gb news weather from the met office. so there's a bit of a drier start for most of us today, but a bit of a chilly start in places, particularly across uk. it across the north of the uk. it is start across much of is a dry start across much of scotland and northern ireland, but showers quickly, but showers quite quickly, pushing as we pushing in from the west as we head through this morning. england are england and wales, though, are much and brighter. start much drier and brighter. start plenty of sunshine head plenty of sunshine as we head through although through the morning, although there will be some cloud bubbung there will be some cloud bubbling head through bubbling up as we head through the those showers the afternoon. those showers turning particularly heavy

solar sponsors of weather on

are flaring up globally. >> world leaders have condemned the attacks as us and british forces reportedly intercepted more than 300 drones. mark white has the latest . has the latest. >> well, the scenes of jubilation in the iranian parliament and chants of death to israel ! iran's chief of staff to israel! iran's chief of staff has vowed an even larger attack if israel responds .

if israel responds. >> the attacker in the sydney stabbing incident has been identified as sydneysiders gather to pay tribute to the victims . victims. >> good morning. manchester city's win yesterday means it's over to liverpool and arsenal today in the premier league title race. we'll also tell you which premier league manager stormed out of his press conference, and we'll be looking ahead to this evening's grand finale masters at the finale at golf's masters at the augusta national. >> chilly but bright >> after a chilly but bright start many of this start for many of us this morning, there showers morning, there is some showers on way this afternoon, and on the way this afternoon, and join me later for the full forecast with all the details. >> morning to you. >> morning to you. >> stephen dixon i'm >> i'm stephen dixon and i'm ellie costello and this is breakfast on gb news. >> well, let's kick off with the main news this morning because overnight, iran has launched an attack on israel . it's an attack on israel. it's an unprecedented drone and missile strike. >> well, an israeli defence

official has revealed that more than 300 drones and missiles were launched by iran . it marks were launched by iran. it marks the first time that iran has targeted israel directly from its own soil, and a new development in the last hour, according to iranian state tv . according to iranian state tv. >> they've sent a message to the united states via switzerland, warning that its bases will be targeted if washington backs israel's retaliation. >> let's speak now to our home and security editor mark white. and mark, tell us about this latest development. >> yeah, they come as we've seen, really jubilant scenes in the iranian parliament in tehran with, people jumping up and down and shouting death to israel ! and shouting death to israel! all kind of chants you would expect, really, from the iranian parliament. but the chief of defence in iran has also issued a warning . that warning came to a warning. that warning came to the us, of course , saying that the us, of course, saying that if they participated in any

retaliatory action by israel, then us bases in the region would be targeted by iran and its proxies and indeed , the its proxies and indeed, the message to israel as well, that as far as iran is concerned now, they say the message has been sent, the situation is concluded, but they do not hesitate. they say to launch an even larger attack on israel than the one last night. and the one last night, of course, involved 331 drones, missiles in the form of cruise missiles and ballistic missiles. the vast majority were intercepted, shot down before they got to israel by jordanian air force. we understand and shot down dozens of drones. the us has said that they were significantly involved in taking out drones and missiles heading for israel as

well. reports that the uk and other nations have been involved. we certainly know that the uk defence secretary, grant shapps , has sent more combat shapps, has sent more combat jets to the region and fuel tanker, support aircraft as well, for operation shader. now, operation shader is that long going operation in iraq and syria aimed at tackling daesh, islamic state in that area. but any of these missiles or drones that enter that area of responsibility as far as the uk are concerned, they now have the, authority to shoot down those aerial threats. so all eyes on israel now given this very stark warning that we've just received from the chief of the defence staff in iran , the defence staff in iran, warning israel that any response from them targeting iran or

iran's assets will be significantly met with a very large response, even more, significant than last night's attack. >> is the message to america. do we think just posturing in the sense that it presumably it would be very unlikely for the us administration to support israel in, in a form of retaliation ? retaliation? >> yeah. i mean, we don't know, at the end of the day, what support might be offered. and there may not be overt support thatis there may not be overt support that is offered to israel , in, that is offered to israel, in, in that sense. but there may be some kind of logistical and technical support behind the scenes that we don't know about, certainly what the, the, the briefings that appear to be coming from washington are suggesting is that although there is ironclad support for

israel's defence, that does not translate to actually , partaking translate to actually, partaking in any kind of retaliatory action that israel, will undoubtedly embark on in some shape or form, in the hours and days ahead . days ahead. >> okay. mark white, thank you very much indeed . very much indeed. >> let's talk to former chairman of the defence select committee, tobias ellwood. good morning to you. what what's your assessment of where we are and how you think israel will react to this? >> really interesting to listen to mark white there. start with the pressure that ali khamenei is under the supreme leader in, iran. the celebrations that took place after these attacks have now happened. it's the pressure that internally, domestically and the hardliners as well, saying after that attack on the consulate in damascus , where

consulate in damascus, where quds force generals were killed, there must be some form of response. and by any measure, this was a brazen state on state attack. harnessing the latest tools of modern warfare. there's drones and missiles to its full. the scale of which, you know, targeting much of israel much of the country would have caused a colossal loss of life had it not been for israel's sophisticated iron dome air defence system. so iran is plainly now wants to draw a line under this after its attacks and so forth. but there's no doubt that this conflict in the middle east is escalating , no single power is escalating, no single power is control of where this is all going. britain is now involved, as you mentioned , as well. as you mentioned, as well. iran's had a long history of this sort of shadow war with israel, avoiding direct engagement . israel, avoiding direct engagement. but so this israel, avoiding direct engagement . but so this attack, engagement. but so this attack, rather than using its proxies , rather than using its proxies, takes us into a very dangerous place, into a worrying precedent has now been set. and, of

course, now the words, war of words and threats follows as well, saying, if you retaliate further, we will retaliate back. so there are massive ramifications of this attack, and very significant in that this is a dangerous ratcheting up of the escalatory ladder in terms of our involvement. >> we're hearing about additional raf assets being deployed to the region. do we know if or how they were involved last night, and what will our role be moving forward? >> yes, i mean, important questions there. firstly, we have had our differences with israel on their prosecution of what they're doing in gaza to go after hamas. but when it comes to defending israel, we stand front and centre, along with the united states. and that's why it was absolutely right for our prime minister, rishi sunak, to authorise raf jets to help intercept those drones and missiles that flew across syria and iraq again, as mark white was pointing out, we have huge

assets. operation shader , the assets. operation shader, the counter dash operation in iraq and syria continues. we've got also permanent military assets in the region as well. if this does escalate, i could see us looking at ways to evacuate british nationals from the arena too. but all eyes will probably shift today to the united nafions shift today to the united nations security council, where, of course, we have permanent membership . the international membership. the international community will be able to, offer their response , and probably try their response, and probably try and check the initial retaliation, if you like, or prospects of that of israel , prospects of that of israel, because there's very concerns that this will ratchet up, that this could go to a place where, as i say, no individual state or leader is in control of where this goes. >> no , it's interesting you said >> no, it's interesting you said we stand, front and centre , we stand, front and centre, defending israel. but there's a there's a significant difference, isn't there, between, standing with israel in terms of defence, that rather than supporting israel and its further actions .

further actions. >> well, there's two different things that we've seen and what's happened with gaza, where perhaps an absence and i've been critical of this, of a serious strategy as to how you're going to go hamas, but also make to go after hamas, but also make sure have the sure that you have the responsibility of looking after the caught up in the palestinians caught up in that. that caused friction. that. that has caused friction. there's doubt , with, prime there's no doubt, with, prime minister netanyahu. this minister netanyahu. but this was, as i say, a state on state attack on, on, on israel. and it's quite right that we and i think the rest of the international community will speak loudly about condemning what iran is doing. i would make the point as well that, who's iran's best friend right now? it is russia. i suspect that iran, necessarily cleared, but certainly briefed russia prior to this , in, in, this attack, to this, in, in, this attack, knowing that, of course , this knowing that, of course, this will cause a massive destruction, distraction if you, forgive me, for, what's going on

in ukraine. and that will actually be to the benefit of russia . russia. >> where did this attack take you? by surprise . we just heard you? by surprise. we just heard from mark white there talking about a supposed backchannel communications that were suggesting that this would be a measured response from iran. but we now know there were over 300 drones and missiles that were fired at israel. this was an unprecedented attack . unprecedented attack. >> absolutely right. and it's only because, as i stressed the air defences that israel has that i understand about 90% of these, drones and missiles were, shots down but stayed on state attack in this way. we've not been here before going back in history, israel and iran, when the shah was around, had very close relationships. but it's also clear that and the west is unkedin also clear that and the west is linked in here, has had no strategy to deal with iran's advancing proxy influence using hamas, using hezbollah and using the houthis and so forth, to

actually place greater pressure on israel. it has not been checked , and it's now coming to checked, and it's now coming to a fore, i suspect , also because a fore, i suspect, also because of where this is going, as we saw in the red sea there'll be a knock on consequences to the wider global economy with, ships being having to, to to, follow different routes and an impact on oil and gas prices as well. yeah. >> i mean, look, no doubt, as i said, i'm precedented because it was launched, from iran . and was launched, from iran. and significantly, they look at the size of it is significant attack, but the iron dome, iran knows that the iron dome is there. it knows what the iron dome is capable of. one analyst we spoke to earlier on this morning said, because of that, in a sense from iran, this was more bark than bite . more bark than bite. >> i think we need to be careful with this, you send 300 missiles and drones and we've seen this in ukraine as well, where they've got the american patriot systems and other air to defence

you send a swarm drones in on scale . some will get through. scale. some will get through. and it's the sheer , i think, and it's the sheer, i think, unprecedented nature of this. you know, we've crossed the rubicon here of iran attacking israel , and rubicon here of iran attacking israel, and we've already heard noises in israel. there'll be massive pressure domestically there to now respond as well. and so, as i'm sure there will be a lot of conversation behind the scenes from washington, dc, including london and jerusalem, to try and take stock of where this , could go, and to temper, this, could go, and to temper, israel's response, initial response before we see, allow calmer heads, make sure that we, if any response is going to happen, it's done in a manner that doesn't see the escalatory ladden that doesn't see the escalatory ladder, take us out of control. >> and in terms of the situation, the conflict in gaza, how much will the events that we saw last night complicate that, that operation, that focus to wipe out hamas and rescue the

hostages is there a risk here that israel could be overwhelmed ? >> well, 7- >> well, i ? >> well, i think there's a 7 >> well, i think there's a it's important that you do raise that because i think six months into the israel gaza conflict, this distraction with, iran will probably cause any negotiations about hostage release and indeed improving access for humanitarian aid to be curtailed. for the moment, it certainly will, give greater resolve to hamas to continue prosecuting their attacks on israel as well . this is bad news israel as well. this is bad news for a number of avenues in the middle east, and should be very concerning to all of the international community. it shows how the west's ability to maintain global order is being increasingly tested, with lots of conflicts taking place across the world, not just conflicts , the world, not just conflicts, but instability. we look at the sahel but instability. we look at the sahel, in, in, in africa, we see the tensions around taiwan as well. and of course, ukraine

that i've mentioned, this really is a lot of , you know, red is a lot of, you know, red lights flashing on the international dashboard . it's an international dashboard. it's an indication of just how dangerous our world is becoming. we are going to have to spend more on our defence, i think, in the longer term as well. but i am pleased initially that britain is forward, doing its is stepping forward, doing its part support israel defend part to support israel to defend the international skies, as well , and to show that we stand unhed , and to show that we stand united preventing state on united in preventing state on state attacks such as this from iran . iran. >> okay. tobias ellwood, good to talk to you this morning. >> thank you, thank you, thank you to sydney. now where overnight police have confirmed that six people have been killed and several others remain in a critical condition following the devastating stabbing at a shopping centre yesterday. >> well, police in new south wales have now identified a 40 year old joel coetzee as the attacker at the westfield's bondi junction. >> well, sydneysiders have begun to lay flowers at the westfield

shopping centre as tributes are paid to victims and first responders. here's new south wales premier chris minns . wales premier chris minns. >> sydney has suffered a horrifying and violent attack on innocent people who were doing something everybody does on the weekend, and that is going shopping with their family and their friends. >> well, earlier we spoke with sydney journalist anthony sieghart and we heard from former australian mp tim smith. >> six people killed a dozen more injured, a few more of them in hospital. a few people have been released over the last few hours, but those six people who were killed, we're learning more about them over the last few hours, including 38 old hours, including 38 year old mother ashley good. she was seen by witnesses throwing her nine month old baby into the hands of strangers at westfield shopping centre at bondi yesterday. that nine month old baby is being held at a separate hospital , a held at a separate hospital, a children's hospital close by. here the family say that that child is doing well in the

circumstances, but tragically her mother has passed away. we're also heard of the death of 25 year old, a 25 year old woman who is the daughter of an australian businesswoman, a businessman here in australia and also a security guard. the only male of six people killed by this man, who was killed yesterday as he attempted to stop that, the stabber from moving forward. it really is sort of surreal that you have this immense tragedy that australians are really not used to . one of the reasons for that to. one of the reasons for that is that australia has among the strictest gun laws in the world. so we don't often see events of terror like this unfolding on such a scale. >> it's such an horrific event , >> it's such an horrific event, and one of my closest friends best friend's daughter was murdered and i mean, the shock of that which, when i was informed about this last night, was absolutely unbelievable. and and my heart goes out to all the families who've lost loved ones in this senseless and shocking

attack , you just don't think attack, you just don't think that bondi junction, you're going to go to a shopping mall on a saturday afternoon and see a mass murder. and that's what sydneysiders were faced with on saturday afternoon. and again, i'm just completely shocked. i mean, i have been to that shopping centre so many times and to see that horrific violence , is just it's violence, is just it's unbelievable . and again, my unbelievable. and again, my heart goes out to all the people that have lost, lost loved ones and, it's just it's such an unbelievable tragedy for australia. the extraordinary bravery of, the police inspector, the new south wales police inspector, amy scott, was unbelievable . well, she she ran unbelievable. well, she she ran towards the screams and the violence, and she shot the assailant, without even thinking about it. and . and it just shows about it. and. and it just shows you the immense bravery of our police force and our first

responders, and it shows you also the bravery of random members of the public, there was a man who used a bollard to stop, the murderer from coming up an escalator, he saved lives. so, i mean, there were members of the public that were police force members who did unbelievable work to save members of the public. it had that police officer not been there, and she just happened to be in the vicinity , this would be in the vicinity, this would have been a far worse tragedy than what took place. there have been six people who have died quite tragically , but had that quite tragically, but had that police officer not been there and had not discharged her firearm in the way that she did, this would have been much worse . this would have been much worse. >> okay, let's have a look at some of the other stories heading into the newsroom at 8:19, and tim loughton has become the latest tory mp to say he will stand down at the next general election. >> the backbencher, who has represented east worthing and

of a point or two just to ensure premier league survival. and then arsenal then at 430, excuse me, arsenal welcome villa. arsenal welcome aston villa. arsenal look they're their defence could lead them the title this lead them to the title this yeah lead them to the title this year. but they're also scoring plenty of goals. you asked me earlier on if both win earlier on if both teams win today. liverpool and arsenal i don't know answer. says who don't know the answer. says who goes well, both teams goes top? well, if both teams win, needs to be nine win, there needs to be a nine goal swing towards liverpool. so effectively liverpool win needs goal swing towards liverpool. so ef1win vely liverpool win needs goal swing towards liverpool. so ef1win ten liverpool win needs goal swing towards liverpool. so ef1win ten nilerpool win needs goal swing towards liverpool. so ef1win ten nil against/in needs goal swing towards liverpool. so ef1win ten nil against crystalis to win ten nil against crystal palace actually happened palace which actually happened in won. they in september. no they won. they beat crystal palace nine nil in september 1989. so they they need beat that today. and need to beat that today. and that's arsenal would that's assuming arsenal would win one one nil. but of course there's the points that are most important. if liverpool win and arsenal draw or even lose , arsenal only draw or even lose, then liverpool go back to go back the top. i look at back to the top. but i look at arsenal's run in. that's the seven eight that are left. seven eight games that are left. they've they've to face they've got. they've got to face tottenham white hart lane, tottenham at white hart lane, they've to face chelsea at they've got to face chelsea at home, got to go to old home, they've got to go to old trafford. you're in trafford. now. if you're in manchester united you're manchester united and you're erik what do you if erik ten hag, what do you do? if you're a you're your whole you're a man, you're your whole support. don't want man support. they don't want man city league. they city to win the league. they don't want liverpool to win the

league. probably want league. they probably don't want arsenal it either. but arsenal to win it either. but they're probably less the they're probably the less the least three i'm least of the three evils. so i'm not anyone would not saying anyone would lie down. but when you're when your whole support base in three whole home support base in three weeks, you not weeks, time is behind you not wanting either of those teams to win, the dynamics of win, it affects the dynamics of the question. the title races. no question. >> ten got enough >> about ten hag's got enough to. his performance last to. i mean, his performance last night was odd. night was very odd. >> was indeed. yeah. i mean, >> it was indeed. yeah. i mean, we don't see that very often, managers of press managers storming out of press conferences. think it's a conferences. i just think it's a good is it? it's not. it's good look. is it? it's not. it's a bit like when clubs banned journalists if you journalists or whatever. if you hand to hand the initiative to a journalist, you make a journalist, if you make a journalist, if you make a journalist look as if journalist look, look as if they've the upper hand in a they've got the upper hand in a media then i think, media conference, then i think, i think you're playing a very dicey game. what it portrays to me what conveys me, me or what it conveys to me, rather, somebody rather, is that that's somebody who probably not who knows he's probably not going be there next season. going to be there next season. he been but going to be there next season. he can been but going to be there next season. he can read been but going to be there next season. he can read the been but going to be there next season. he can read the room! but going to be there next season. he can read the room! knows he can read the room. he knows he can read the room. he knows he look the results. the he can look at the results. the journalist harry from journalist harry pratt, from the daily sunday him daily star sunday said to him you're in danger now of recording united's worst position league position in the premier league title worst title title. sorry, the worst worst finish the premier worst finish in the premier league 30 years or 32 years league in 30 years or 32 years

of league. and of the premier league. and i think recorded seventh think they've recorded seventh back it could be back in 2014, so it could be worse than that. he just decided, not answering decided, look, i'm not answering that had enough that question. i've had enough of going. the of this and i'm going. the result bad. result wasn't even that bad. i mean, it bournemouth mean, okay, it was bournemouth who bottom half, but mean, okay, it was bournemouth who but bottom half, but mean, okay, it was bournemouth who but they bottom half, but mean, okay, it was bournemouth who but they got bottom half, but mean, okay, it was bournemouth who but they got a22ym half, but mean, okay, it was bournemouth who but they got a22 drawnlf, but mean, okay, it was bournemouth who but they got a22 draw and ut but but they got a22 draw and i just don't think it it's a very good thing to do. i remember having argument with having an argument with a journalist of mine years journalist friend of mine years ago saying, shouldn't ago and saying, we shouldn't report journalists report that as journalists because that's our problem. but if of that club, i if i'm a fan of that club, i want to know manager want to know if my manager stormed of press stormed out of a press conference want to know why. >> yeah, i think it's i think it's point. it's a fair point. >> certainly a fair >> it's certainly a fair question. oh, yeah. >> absolutely. >> absolutely. >> know, and i think you >> you know, and i think if you can't that, mean, look, can't answer that, i mean, look, goodness know harry can't answer that, i mean, look, goodrhe's know harry can't answer that, i mean, look, goodrhe's only know harry can't answer that, i mean, look, goodrhe's only iforn harry well, he's only looking for a quick quick his, for quick a quick line for his, for his and if he says, well, his paper. and if he says, well, no, that. no, we're not going to do that. we've some games coming we've got some big games coming up. my players get up. i back my players to get behind us and get the job done. that that's you need to do. that that's all you need to do. why that that's all you need to do. wh'yeah. as we talk about the >> yeah. as we talk about the grand national oh, grand national yesterday. oh, do we do. even though grand national yesterday. oh, do we called do. even though grand national yesterday. oh, do we called it do. even though grand national yesterday. oh, do we called it all do. even though grand national yesterday. oh, do we called it all wrong. n though you called it all wrong. >> gooley. yeah that's >> glenn gooley. yeah that's exactly not >> glenn gooley. yeah that's exactly but not >> glenn gooley. yeah that's exactly but just not >> glenn gooley. yeah that's exactly but just from not >> glenn gooley. yeah that's exactly but just from friends of online, but just from friends of mine. from friends of mine. mainly a few

mainly because he's stuck a few quid they want, quid on. yeah. and they want, they yeah. don't they want it. yeah. they don't understand i understand how betting works. i think quid down think they put a few quid down the the shop the bet down the betting shop then, doesn't then, then if it doesn't come through, to offer through, then i'll have to offer the refund. >> well, you always think that's fair. >> you should. well, >> i think you should. well, some ones. some some people got 50s ones. some got 66 1. rather. got 60 to 1, 66 to 1. rather. glenn well no, it glenn gooley, fell. well no, it didn't unseated. he didn't fall. it unseated. he unseated at didn't fall. it unseated. he uns 27th! at didn't fall. it unseated. he uns 27th fence. at didn't fall. it unseated. he uns 27th fence. so, at didn't fall. it unseated. he uns 27th fence. so, you at didn't fall. it unseated. he uns 27th fence. so, you know, if the 27th fence. so, you know, if any value in that evaporated quite quickly. i am maximus was , quite quickly. i am maximus was, of course, the winner. the joint favourite, 7 to 1, ridden by paul townend and trained by willie mullins, who has an exceptional record. but paul townend hadn't made 13 attempts to win this. and it shows that if don't first, you if you if you don't first, you don't try and try don't succeed. try, try and try again, tottie was again, mac tottie was interesting although interesting because although there he was there were no fatalities, he was treated by a vet and was cleared to to the yard. and there to return to the yard. and there were some safety adaptations to return to the yard. and there were searlier,fety adaptations to return to the yard. and there were searlier, whichiaptations to return to the yard. and there were searlier, whichiapt discussed made earlier, which we discussed yesterday . there was the yesterday. there was the standing start, which meant that the didn't have quite the the horses didn't have quite the momentum to the first momentum going up to the first fence, shows that we fence, which shows that we usually it's an indicator that you injury . the

usually it's an indicator that you injury. the number you can avoid injury. the number of horses as well. there's been a strong link with the high number the high number of horses, the high number of injuries and fatalities, that fatalities, and i think that probably the hands probably played into the hands of those wanted of those of those who wanted a safer yesterday which was safer race. yesterday which was good. we don't want to see any injuries deaths, certainly injuries or deaths, certainly to horses. injuries or deaths, certainly to horwe do not should we >> we do not know, should we talk raducanu ? talk about emma raducanu? bannau? why not? >> why not? i mean, so while since spoke about something since we spoke about something good done on court, good that she's done on court, it billie jean cup it was the billie jean cup qualifier yesterday. a really tough going france. tough trip going to france. plenty that. plenty of quality in that. line—up plenty of claycourt experience. britain and line—up plenty of claycourt expyit.3nce. britain and line—up plenty of claycourt expyit. not. britain and line—up plenty of claycourt expyit. not just britain and line—up plenty of claycourt expyit. not just her,tain and line—up plenty of claycourt expyit. not just her, but and line—up plenty of claycourt expyit. not just her, but also and did it. not just her, but also katie boulter. and we've been discussing, we. it's discussing, haven't we. it's been been a all by been a it's been a topic all by itself. what's to emma itself. what's happened to emma raducanu since the unbelievable us open win back september us open win back in september 2021 at flushing meadow, where she didn't even drop a set on her way to winning. that's seven matches. and she was, what, 17 at the time? we can speculate on what's happened, but i think let's just concentrate what let's just concentrate on what she was she did yesterday, which was absolutely was absolutely outstanding. she was dominant from the from the baseline showed every baseline and she showed every inch that capability. that led her to success back in 2021,

which shows that it's not far away. >> no. well, let's hope it's let's hope she's found her feet with it again. >> now, i think i don't think with it again. >> can, i think i don't think with it again. >> can achieve i don't think with it again. >> can achieve that1't think with it again. >> can achieve that thatiink with it again. >> can achieve that that level you can achieve that that level of that level of attainment back in 2021 without it being in you in 2021without it being in you permanently . that that to me is permanently. that that to me is that's not form, that's class. and that's they in that's not form, that's class. and tisn't they in that's not form, that's class. and tisn't it? they in that's not form, that's class. and tisn't it? form y in sport isn't it? form is temporary. forever. i temporary. class is forever. i think be back and think she'll be back again. and i all the way i did say that all the way through. you go . through. there you go. >> another tip. you were right. oh, no, you never know, lovely. >> aiden. >> aiden. >> you much indeed . >> thank you very much indeed. >> thank you very much indeed. >> now, do you stay with us? we're going be going we're going to be going through the with candice the papers next with candice holdsworth slater

i >> -- >> 837. let's see what's in the papers this morning with editor of spiked online, tom slater and the writer and commentator candice holdsworth. good to see you both this morning . morning,

you both this morning. morning, let's start off with the latest mp , tom, who's decided he's not mp, tom, who's decided he's not going to stand at the next election. >> so tim loughton has become the 64th tory mp to announce that he's won't be standing at the next election, he is someone who might not be a household name necessarily his former kind of family's minister, but also a very backbencher. very active backbencher. he makes a point of saying that he's a supporter of rishi sunak. he said that sunak is underappreciated. but the time is the time come for him to is the time has come for him to move on. he's been in his post since old stint since 1997, so a fair old stint there. we're now at the there. but we're now at the point which this is the most point in which this is the most tory stand for an tory mps to stand down for an election since the late just before labour landslide back before the labour landslide back in we're 72 decided to in 1997. so we're 72 decided to stand out. so it really gives you sense of how much of you a sense of how much of expectation of loss is set in. there's not much hope within tory ranks and they just can't be bothered to stand, can't they? >>i they? >> i mean, why put the work in. >> i mean, why put the work in. >> and it's one of those things where can't blame

where you can't really blame them. like people, them. now i, like many people, would the first would sort of after the first few said they weren't few dozen said they weren't going to stand anymore. you kind few dozen said they weren't go start) stand anymore. you kind few dozen said they weren't go start) stand ritymore. you kind few dozen said they weren't go start) stand tit out.e. you kind of start to tune it out. but this a very large this is a this is a very large statement of just how bad the mood party, mood is within the tory party, how lacking in confidence they are relatively are that even in relatively solid going solid seats, they're going to be able to them. and able to cling on to them. and also, they are in a also, even if they are in a relatively solid seat, a kind of sense of, well, we're going to have long spell in have a relatively long spell in opposition. going opposition. am i going to be able you climb the able to, you know, climb up the ministerial there's all ministerial pole? there's all these things which have come into you do get into focus now, but, you do get the sense from the top to the bottom party at the bottom of the tory party at the moment. are resigned bottom of the tory party at the m> i think it will be in the sense of could very likely be sense of we could very likely be looking at a very large labour majority . absolutely. what would majority. absolutely. what would be is be fundamentally different is whereas was some be fundamentally different is whereas enthusiasm was some be fundamentally different is whereas enthusiasm foras some be fundamentally different is whereas enthusiasm for tonyme genuine enthusiasm for tony blair and new labour misplaced enthusiasm, i would say. but nevertheless, that was real. no, it really was. >> i mean, it really was. i mean, the sort of there was euphoria. absolutely when they

won in the country and that sense really turning page sense of really turning the page and moving on from years of tory rule whatever. rule and whatever. >> very keen move >> people are very keen to move on tory government. >> people are very keen to move on been,)ry government. >> people are very keen to move on been, youiovernment. >> people are very keen to move on been, you know,nent. as they've been, you know, seen as disaster board. disaster from across the board. but could the people who but you could fit the people who are ism are excited about starmer ism into are excited about starmer ism inthes, at this point. >> yes, at this point. >> yes, at this point. >> that's where it really is >> so that's where it really is different, i think. and i also whilst it's very whilst i think it's very unlikely the tories could unlikely that the tories could stem this point, stem the losses at this point, thatis stem the losses at this point, that is what makes labour's lead very think that it very soft. you do think that it would all would take would be would all it would take would be for of events, for a couple of external events, internal scandals or whatever, not to them the not necessarily to lose them the next certainly to next election, but certainly to reduce that lead. at the reduce that lead. but at the moment likely they are moment it seems likely they are on course for it. >> yes. and if it continues with this, this trend and we don't >> yes. and if it continues with this, tbecausei and we don't >> yes. and if it continues with this, tbecause things e don't >> yes. and if it continues with this, tbecause things couldt >> yes. and if it continues with this, tbecause things could change know because things could change before then, what's the conservative party going to look like because conservative party going to look li lot because conservative party going to look li lot people because conservative party going to look li lot people are because conservative party going to look li lot people are saying, ause conservative party going to look li lot people are saying, and a lot of people are saying, and maybe this won't come to pass. these are just various scenarios . you could see . but, you know, you could see a lot you could see the lib lot of, you could see the lib dems and labour mopping up more centrist left leaning conservative votes. and then would a conservative

would that leave a conservative party that's made up of like quite, quite the hard right, essentially a very, very conservative party without the sort liberal wing. and i just sort of liberal wing. and i just wonder if that's a possibility, if that happen, if the if that could happen, if the conservative party quite conservative party is quite divided, now . divided, as it is right now. >> and if that can continue, it's interesting to see, because if , that would if that happened, that would definitely keep them out for several i think. definitely keep them out for sevsol i think. definitely keep them out for sevso , i think. definitely keep them out for sevso , yeah, i think. definitely keep them out for sev so , yeah, because whether >> so, yeah, because whether people like politics, they're conservative party more to the right or not. >> the reality is, unless you're sent you don't elections. >> well, need elections. » wen, >> well, you need some of those. you sort of mix. and you need a sort of mix. and i think labour understands that as well. i mean, people are thinking, well, okay, the conservative be conservative party needs to be punished. to be punished. they need to be destroyed. have some destroyed. so we have some conservative like conservative alternative like people are saying about reform. but you're right. it's but i think you're right. it's all having that widespread all about having that widespread appeal. to easy appeal. and it's very to easy forget that. and i think the conservatives often get into a purity spirals. you're not conservative enough. this isn't conservative enough. this isn't conservative and they're always pointing fingers at each other. >> i think they've also got a really misplaced sense of what the ground actually is the centre ground actually is in british well, british politics as well,

because both of because i think both the kind of one nation and the sort one nation tories and the sort of . right. labourites one nation tories and the sort of that .right. labourites one nation tories and the sort of that it'sight. labourites one nation tories and the sort of that it's someoneyurites one nation tories and the sort of that it's someone who s one nation tories and the sort of that it's someone who kind think that it's someone who kind of resembles nick clegg or something, and really it's someone probably quite someone who's probably quite conservative issues, conservative on some issues, social but social issues, for instance. but it's often quite left wing on a lot of economic issues. they want nationalisation, even lot want nationalisation, even a lot of are favour of of tory voters are in favour of things nationalisation. of tory voters are in favour of tithink nationalisation. of tory voters are in favour of tithink that'sitionalisation. of tory voters are in favour of tithink that's beenlisation. of tory voters are in favour of tithink that's been oneion. of tory voters are in favour of tithink that's been oneionthe i think that's been one of the mistakes recent years. and mistakes of recent years. and one the boris one thing that the boris coalition did represent in some senses the centre senses is that where the centre of british politics terms of british politics is in terms of british politics is in terms of electorate, not how of the electorate, is not how westminster often thinks. >> yes. oh, that's that's a really interesting but really interesting point. but actually we shall. yeah. mondeo man updated . man needs to be updated. something else i don't quite know what. and candice diane abbott is being mentioned in the spectator online. yes. for why hardly dare ask. well we were talking about conservatives going after each other and purity spirals. >> well, labour also has these issues sometimes as well. so steerpike, the gossip columnist for spectator online, noticed a twitter spat between wes streeting and diane abbott because wes streeting, the

shadow health secretary wants to use more private health care provision on the nhs , basically provision on the nhs, basically to help with waiting lists and, you know, just to make things more efficient . and diane abbott you know, just to make things morethereient . and diane abbott you know, just to make things morethere is|t . and diane abbott you know, just to make things morethere is no and diane abbott you know, just to make things morethere is no placeiane abbott you know, just to make things morethere is no placeianethat)ott said there is no place for that in any labour government. we will not countenance that. so he came back with the quite obvious retort, well, you privately educated your son. yeah. and this is the sort of thing that labour always going to be fighting on. and even now when you're looking at an incoming labour government that may put may remove the vat exemption, exemption on private schools . exemption on private schools. and you know this is something that they're always going to struggle with. you know, can they can they co—exist peacefully with the private sector sector sector and private sector provision? there are provision? i think there are some people who are quite relaxed about that in the labour party, there many people relaxed about that in the labour partywould there many people relaxed about that in the labour partywould vote many people relaxed about that in the labour partywould vote for many people relaxed about that in the labour partywould vote for them, people relaxed about that in the labour partywould vote for them, who :)le who would vote for them, who privately their children who would vote for them, who priv'use' their children who would vote for them, who priv'use private their children who would vote for them, who priv'use private health children who would vote for them, who priv'use private health care.ren who would vote for them, who priv'use private health care. but and use private health care. but then ideologues then you get the ideologues who absolutely compromise on absolutely cannot compromise on the issue at all. >> but it's the hypocrisy which is the issue. i don't care what people want do with in a

people want to do with in a sense, with their own choices for care their own for health care or their own choices education. up choices for education. fine. up to the hypocrisy of to them. it's the hypocrisy of saying shouldn't do it, but saying you shouldn't do it, but i can. yeah. >> it does have that of >> and it does have that feel of kind of pulling the ladder up behind especially if behind them, or especially if it's thing where it's the sort of thing where they've that, it's the sort of thing where they know, that, it's the sort of thing where they know, son's that, it's the sort of thing where they know, son's grownat, it's the sort of thing where they know, son's grown up you know, their son's grown up now , and now it's the sort of now, and now it's the sort of thing they're militantly thing where they're militantly behind, the behind, you know, removing the vat rid of vat exemption, getting rid of private it does private schools. and it does just how labour mps can fall into time and again. i into this trap time and again. i really don't know, because she's not first member of the not the first member of the labour to rail against labour left to rail against private schools actually, private schools whilst actually, you their kids to themselves. >> yeah. yes. >> yeah. yes. >> well tom, candice do you stay with us. we're going to go to a short break and then we'll come back gordon back and tell you about gordon ramsay in ramsay and the squatters in his pub.

>> so we're going through the

papers at 847 with candice holdsworth and tom slater. tom, let's have a look at the sunday mirror. should we? paul o'grady, saint paul, as he frankly, is becoming , now working out where becoming, now working out where he left some of his money to. yes. >> this is a heartwarming story about where some of the half £1 million that paul o'grady left to various animal charities has ended up. it's focusing mainly on the work of an organisation called street vet, which received £20,000 from his estate, which essentially goes around veterinary around offering free veterinary care to street homeless people, animals, , predominantly, animals, dogs, predominantly, andifs animals, dogs, predominantly, and it's really striking. i mean, people will have noticed this anecdotally, but it's something like a third of people who are street homeless actually have a kind of companion animal. so only is it looking after so not only is it looking after their obviously so not only is it looking after their important, obviously so not only is it looking after their important, butviously so not only is it looking after their important, but howly so not only is it looking after their important, but how that is quite important, but how that is a core of, people's a core part of, those people's lives and this organisation basically going around and making those people have making sure those people have the and treatment. making sure those people have the it and treatment. making sure those people have the it annoys and treatment. making sure those people have the it annoys me! treatment. making sure those people have the it annoys me thatitment. making sure those people have the it annoys me that some:. making sure those people have the it annoys me that some people >> it annoys me that some people are critical saying, well, you know, you can't look after yourself , know, you can't look after yourself, you know, you can't look after yourself , you know? so it's a yourself, you know? so it's a bit of a cruel way of looking at

it. but you know, how then do you look after a pet and other. but actually that companion you look after a pet and other. but actvital that companion you look after a pet and other. but actvital for that companion you look after a pet and other. but actvital for these companion you look after a pet and other. but actvital for these people.on ship is vital for these people. >> and we know there's >> oh yes. and we know there's such connection such a huge connection between dogs particularly . dogs and horses, particularly. and mental health. i mean, that's why sort of evolved that's why we sort of evolved alongside them. i mean, we get each and have like a each other and we have like a proper connection with proper emotional connection with our pets. mean, one of the our pets. i mean, one of the things noticed well, things i've noticed as well, though, don't though, in the past, i don't know, business know, five years big business has into the vet has really moved into the vet industry and the prices have gone massively . gone up massively. >> is that what's done it? >> is that what's done it? >> yes. so private equity has moved in and bought up a lot of the vets. and yeah, the independent vets. and yeah, i the prices have been i mean the prices have been jacked up. it's becoming unaffordable now to treat your pets yeah. pets for simple things. yeah. >> does cost an >> yes it is. it does cost an absolute arm and a leg. but i mean , you know, it's interesting mean, you know, it's interesting because a lot of people, you know, not to name names but they present shows and think, present shows and you think, well, really care well, they don't really care about that. i mean, heck, some of the people who've presented songs and then you songs of praise and then you know, what they their know, what they like in their real life, however, you know, he's he's he's quite literally

put his money where his mouth was. yeah, absolutely. >> was known to be a dog >> and he was known to be a dog lover, obviously, and fronting all kinds of shows on that basis. but it's still the sort of where you kind of often basis. but it's still the sort of out,nhere you kind of often basis. but it's still the sort of out, unfortunately, of often basis. but it's still the sort of out, unfortunately, afterzten find out, unfortunately, after after tragically moves find out, unfortunately, after after how tragically moves find out, unfortunately, after after how generouslly moves find out, unfortunately, after after how generous they'veas on just how generous they've been. been on just how generous they've bee case. been the case. >> it just like such >> it just seems like such a lovely candice , let's take lovely man, candice, let's take a look at the observer, shall we? is about we? and this is this about artwork was sneaked into a artwork that was sneaked into a gallery employee ? gallery by an employee? >> yes. so, i mean, the art world is full of mischief like this . you've you know, you've this. you've you know, you've had it all throughout the years. you know, someone wants to sort of pop the of of take a pop at the elitism of the world. this was the art world. so this was a gallery in munich, and i'm going to if i'm to i don't know if i'm pronouncing this correctly. pinakothek. >> sounds enough >> oh, that sounds good enough to me. >> it's all modern art. >> and it's all modern art. i mean, it's josef , boys. it's, mean, it's josef, boys. it's, andy warhol and so this, this employee of the gallery , he employee of the gallery, he snuck his artwork in to see if anyone would notice that it wasn't, like, a famous name. basically if people were sort of

critically appraise it and go, oh, this is interesting, even though it's a work by a complete amateur. and do find that amateur. and i do find that quite interesting, because i think world has become think the art world has become very elitist. i think it's become closed voices. become closed to new voices. i think there are certain people who are sort of they're deemed to anti establishment, but to be anti establishment, but they're not anti—establishment anymore. world anymore. the art world absolutely loves them. and i don't you're getting the don't think you're getting the same sort of subversiveness that you maybe got during andy warhol's time. >> did he get praise for the work? know? no no. work? do we know? no no. >> they just sort of, you know, brushed it under carpet and brushed it under the carpet and just was, you know, just said, oh, it was, you know, it's bit of fun. and it's just a bit of fun. and i just think you it's just think that, you know, it's such cry from the urinal, such a far cry from the urinal, you oh, yeah . whenever you know. oh, yeah. whenever maybe world open to maybe the art world was open to that thing . that sort of thing. >> think there's a lot in that sort of thing. >> art think there's a lot in that sort of thing. >> art world,; there's a lot in that sort of thing. >> art world, which�*s a lot in that sort of thing. >> art world, which isa lot in the art world, which is emperor's new clothes. definitely. people just go, oh emperor's new clothes. def marvellous)le just go, oh emperor's new clothes. def marvellous ,e just go, oh emperor's new clothes. def marvellous , marvellous. emperor's new clothes. defmarvellous , marvellous. yeah. my marvellous, marvellous. yeah. well, is it really? >> you do. that's why i love these kinds of pranks that you see oftentimes where, you know, someone's put little someone's just put a little plaque plaque plaque and an explanation plaque underneath, or underneath, like a thermostat or whatever that was on the wall anyway. yeah. yeah. suddenly

have of standing have people kind of standing there staring there for minutes staring at this it's to this thing. and it's not to say that you know, in contemporary art, want to art, you, you know, you want to hem or whatever, but hem people in or whatever, but there become a certain hem people in or whatever, but there in become a certain hem people in or whatever, but there in which ome a certain hem people in or whatever, but there in which almost:ertain hem people in or whatever, but there in which almost theiin hem people in or whatever, but there in which almost the joke's point in which almost the joke's on . the joke's the on them. the joke's on the establishment. on them. the joke's on the establis know, . on them. the joke's on the establis know, tracey emin does >> you know, tracey emin does some great work, but my bed, the oh, saw unmade bed. oh, i saw unmade bed. >> yes. >> yes. >> as a work of art. i know. come and, you know scratch the chins. >> i know i made bed. well there was another one. so a friend of mine wrote about it in that same exhibition where she had the bed, and the light going bed, and it was the light going on and off. oh, yeah. and you walked you clapped your walked in and you clapped your hands and the light off. hands and the light turned off. you them it went off you clap them again. it went off and it was just the most underwhelming thing. but he felt like compelled to like everyone was compelled to take it seriously. >> i don't understand how you can class that as a work of art. >> no, no. >> no, no. >> what is that? tracey emin? you a dis tracey you you know, a dis tracey emin. you know, people like what she know, some people like what she does, that her that does, but that her piece that she's got at. is it kings cross or saint pancras station, which is a neon sign saying something nice. don't know, be nice. i don't know, everyone be

happy whatever it is. yeah. happy or whatever it is. yeah. have a nice day or whatever. in pink neon and it's fine. i mean, it looks quite nice, but it's a neon sign. i don't understand how that is a work art . how that is a work of art. >> yeah, i want my time with you. hangs under the clock. you. it hangs under the clock. yeah, right. >> fine. but why is that artwork? i think? >> i don't know, i think the art world needs a bit of shaking up, i really do, and think there i really do, and i think there does a return to does need to be a return to maybe a bit. i think it's become obsessed the obsessed with concepts. the ideas behind things, rather than the the the thing in itself. well, the names , do you think? yes, that's names, do you think? yes, that's as well. you know, when you see someone who's actually sculpted something and maybe used physics and things and science and loads of things to create something that makes you think, something you think, wow, something beautiful . yes, yes. beautiful. yes, yes. >> all right. can we just have a quick look at gordon ramsay and his pub. >> em— e so, gordon. so >> yes. yeah. so, gordon. so this story in the mirror. this is a story in the mirror. so gordon ramsay had a pub in north london. it is called the york and albany. it's in regent's park and a bunch of squatters have basically got access.i squatters have basically got access. i don't know if they've

managed to break into it or how they got in there, and they're occupying , and they say that occupying it, and they say that they're into they're going to turn it into a soup kitchen for the homeless, they're going to turn it into a soup iis:hen for the homeless, they're going to turn it into a soup iis really)r the homeless, they're going to turn it into a soup iis really going homeless, they're going to turn it into a soup iis really going to neless, they're going to turn it into a soup iis really going to anger, they're going to turn it into a soup becausey going to anger, they're going to turn it into a soup because i going to anger, they're going to turn it into a soup because i think to anger, they're going to turn it into a soup because i think he anger, him, because i think he was planning sell it for of planning to sell it for a lot of money. i'm very sceptical of the whole squatting world. when i was university, i knew lot was at university, i knew a lot of spoilt, middle of very spoilt, middle class squatters be squatters who claimed to be making political point, but i making a political point, but i mean, they definitely had somewhere to live if they wanted to . yeah. yeah, see to. yeah. so yeah, we'll see what happens. don't know how what happens. i don't know how easy it is remove squatters easy it is to remove squatters these think if they've these days. i think if they've done criminal damage you can remove don't know remove them. but i don't know what he'll have. what legal rights he'll have. >> no, that's the problem. it's the side it don't the legal side of it is. i don't get it's really complicated. >> because how >> not least because of how thoroughly a lot of thoroughly middle class a lot of them they've probably got them are. they've probably got quite well. quite good legal advice as well. yes, pay as yes, dad will pay for that as many things many other things in their lives. but yes, it's one of those things i never thought i'd be ramsay, be on team gordon ramsay, but anything one just be on team gordon ramsay, but anythingof, one just be on team gordon ramsay, but anythingof, you one just be on team gordon ramsay, but anythingof, you know, ne just be on team gordon ramsay, but anythingof, you know, if just be on team gordon ramsay, but anythingof, you know, if you because of, you know, if you want to the homeless, go want to help the homeless, go and a soup kitchen and set up a soup kitchen yourself volunteer at one. yourself or go volunteer at one. this trying to provide

some snow across the hills , with some snow across the hills, with temperatures to average temperatures closer to average here further here and a little cooler further south, with highs of only 14 or 15 degrees through the rest of this evening, those showers becoming much more widespread across the uk, slowly pushing their way south and eastwards as we go into early hours of we go into the early hours of monday far monday morning, the far south—east england perhaps south—east of england perhaps holding some of drier holding on to some of that drier weather but those weather for a time. but those showers will eventually reach all areas the uk. another all areas of the uk. another chilly night, particularly across scotland. across parts of scotland. temperatures into temperatures dropping down into the low single figures but a little cold further south, little less cold further south, maybe 7 or 8 degrees. monday starts showery day across starts a very showery day across the uk. those heavy bands of showers continue to push their way south and eastwards through the morning. some sunny spells developing behind those showers but northwesterly but with a brisk northwesterly breeze that will definitely take the edge off temperatures the edge off the temperatures through we could through the day. and we could even continue to see some snow across hills of northern across the hills of northern england and across scotland. another chilly day. temperatures in only reaching in the south only reaching around 12 or 13 degrees. >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar sponsors of weather on

gb news. >> good morning to you. it's 9:00. sunday, the 14th of april. today, iran warns israel not to retaliate after they launched an unprecedented drone and missile attack on israel . tensions as a attack on israel. tensions as a result flaring up in the region globally. >> world leaders have condemned the attacks as us and british forces reportedly intercepted more than 300 drones. mark white has the latest right ? has the latest right? >> well, the diplomatic pressure behind the scenes will be on israel not to respond. that's unlikely really , to have a unlikely really, to have a positive result. there is no doubt israel will respond. iran is warning that they will retaliate in a bigger manner

than last night. if that was to happen. >> the attacker in the sydney stabbings has been identif fied as sydneysiders gather to pay tribute to the six victims. >> after a chilly but bright start for many of us this morning, there is some showers on the way this afternoon. join me later for the full forecast with the details . with all the details. >> morning to you. >> morning to you. >> i'm stephen dixon and i'm ellie costello and is ellie costello and this is breakfast . breakfast on. gb news. >> well, overnight iran has launched an attack on israel. it's an unprecedented drone and missile strike. >> yes, an israeli defence official has revealed that more than 300 drones and missiles were launched by iran. it marks the first time that the country has targeted israel directly from its own soil. >> well, overnight , president >> well, overnight, president biden announced an emergency meeting and condemned

meeting of the g7 and condemned the attacks from iran, while uk defence secretary grant shapps confirmed additional raf assets have been sent to the region, while also announcing he strongly condemned the senseless airborne attack that iran had launched on israel. let's talk to our security editor, mark white, who joins us now. i mean, the big question mark is what happens next? >> yes. and there's no doubt that there are very concerned leaders around the world now about what the next steps might be. we have the us president arranging an emergency meeting, arranging an emergency meeting, a telephone conference of g7 leaders this afternoon to come up with their response . but up with their response. but whatever the public response, which will of course be full throated support of israel's right to defend itself, there's no doubt there will be pressure behind the scenes on israel to show restraint here, because we have had the chief of the defence staff in iran saying

just this morning that if israel responds ads targeting iran or iran's interests , then they will iran's interests, then they will launch further waves of attacks that will be even more significant than the attacks that were launched last night. and they were very significant, not just for the fact that for the first time, is iran had launched an attack on israel from its own soil. thus far, it's used its proxies in southern lebanon, in yemen, in gaza, of course, to attack israel, but also the fact that the attack measured some 331 aerial drones , cruise missiles, aerial drones, cruise missiles, ballistic missiles, most of which the vast majority of which were shot down before they could do any harm. but having said that, seven missiles did impact on israeli soil, one child was critically injured and some minor damage reported at an israeli air base .

israeli air base. >> mark, what's your assessment of what we saw last night ? of what we saw last night? because we were expecting, weren't we? this a strike by iran in the next 24 to 48 hours. that's what was out there, but perhaps not one of this size . perhaps not one of this size. >> no, i was surprised . i think >> no, i was surprised. i think as many people in the international community, we were surprised that the scale of the attack, because the us had been , attack, because the us had been, privately briefing that they had backchannel communications suggesting that there would be a measured response from tehran and to get actually a response that involved drones and missiles coming directly from iran for the first time. as i say, normally , the way in which say, normally, the way in which iran has operated and it has attacked israel many, many times over the years, but has used its proxies. what we're seeing now is a state on state attack , and is a state on state attack, and there's no way in which benjamin

netanyahu won't respond to that. whatever his allies might say in terms of urging restraint. so what the level of that response will be will determine. i think what the level again, of the response from iran will be. we could really enter a very disturbing downward spiral of more in the way of aggressive and larger scale responses from each of the sides, and that would really pave the way for a regional conflict that absolutely no one wants to see. >> certainly don't. mark white, thank you very much. >> let's talk to the defence editor for the evening standard, robert fox. morning to you, robert. assessment robert. what's your assessment of ? of this? >> well, it, has taken rather an unpredicted shape , as you say, unpredicted shape, as you say, on the scale. but as we heard from mark 331, projectiles over a variety of targets. but they

didn't seem to have aimed at a major city. it was feared that tel aviv, haifa, the great port orjerusalem could tel aviv, haifa, the great port or jerusalem could come tel aviv, haifa, the great port orjerusalem could come under sustained and direct attack that would automatically bring the americans in. what i think is going on today is very serious. what's called bda battle damage assessment. really, how good was the quality . of this attack? it the quality. of this attack? it took a long time for the drones took a long time for the drones to get there. the response was terrific. from israeli terrific. from the israeli defence they said defence force. they have said the success of the countermeasures, and it's not only the famous iron dome defensive system, but it's also the arrow three, hypersonic, potentially a missile that can strike hypersonic missiles , the strike hypersonic missiles, the f 35 planes, which britain is getting. but israel has the most sophisticated version of it. it all seems to have worked

extremely well . so what they extremely well. so what they will be asking, and president biden will be asking, and so will, prime minister netanyahu is what else is iran likely to do quite quickly? and one of the things that mark has stressed is this very odd. there are contradictory statements coming out of iran from their mission at the un. they saying we were fulfilling, something we're entitled to do under article or chapter 51 of the un charter, the right to self—defence ounce after our mission, our embassy, our consulate was attacked in damascus. that's what you're heanng damascus. that's what you're hearing the un, what we're hearing from the un, what we're heanng hearing from the un, what we're hearing from the un, what we're hearing from the un, what we're hearing from the foreign ministry and the chiefs of staff in tehran is you do anything against us now, and we're going . against us now, and we're going. to strike back. and i should add the strike back. they've include and we will hit american

targets, american targets, including american diplomatic in the diplomatic missions in the region. by the way, can i also add, ominously for britain, that involves because we involves us directly because we are a lot of joint are doing a lot of joint surveillance including surveillance work, including very light touch, but boots on the ground out in syria and iraq alongside, america. again, to quote grant shapps, our defence secretary, he's been very careful about it. he always knew that. he said, we've got to accept that tehran is the problem now. tehran, the capital of iran, all roads lead there. but he is very worried about miscalculation . and that's what miscalculation. and that's what the alliance g7 , the nato the alliance g7, the nato allies, the five eyes, that very, very tight intelligence community in which britain and america are the are the leaders. they are going to act with caution . and there will be a lot caution. and there will be a lot of deep thinking , because while of deep thinking, because while i don't think it's going to go

global yet, the ramifications are global. we are looking at the prospect of a sustained chain and very serious regional. war >> okay. defence editor for the evening standard, robert fox, thank you very much for your time. >> and let's talk to former israeli government spokesman ellen levy, who joins us now. good this morning, good to see you. this morning, good . look, the experts good morning. look, the experts all say, look, of course there is going to be a response. netanyahu is going to want to respond to this. how there's going to be a lot of pressure on him to either not respond or really dampen down that response for the sake, as have you heard robert fox saying, there the concern of this escalating into a major, sustained problem will he listen? do you think israel faces a major dilemma and it faces a major dilemma and it faces a major dilemma, because what happened last night was not

normal . normal. >> this was an unprecedented attack directly from iranian soil, over 300 missiles and uavs, combined with simultaneous attacks from yemen from iraq, from, lebanon. and there would have been from gaza as well if we hadn't destroyed hamas's weapons capabilities. now, on the one hand, the allies that helped off this helped israel fend off this unprecedented clearly do unprecedented attack clearly do not want to see an escalation. we don't either. but on the other hand, israel cannot allow ballistic missile attacks from iran to become the new normal . iran to become the new normal. you know, it's been over 20 years that we've had a drip, drip feed of rockets from the gaza strip the international gaza strip and the international community saying it's normal that terrorists can fire rockets at tel aviv whenever they want. you need to show restraint and not escalate. and that brought us to the horrific situation of october 7th, where hamas felt emboldened and free to attack, thinking that the world would

tie israel's hands behind its back. and israel needs to show deterrence against iran now because can't because we can't allow a situation in which the next time iran wants to flex the muscles against israel, it knows that the new normal is that it can fire ballistic missiles at israel. that isn't a reality israel. that isn't a reality israel will accept. it's definitely not a reality that britain would accept. >> so what do you think israel will do next? >> well, i know that israel has already for an urgent already called for an urgent meeting of the un security council. it is demanding that it condemn iran's attack and formally designate the irgc the revolutionary guards, as a terrorist organisation. we hope that the unprecedented cooperation that we saw with regional partners yesterday, not only the uk, the us, france, media reporting that even jordan and saudi arabia intercepted airborne threats, that that cooperation will bring together a global coalition against iran. understanding it isn't this one off attack. it's been over 30

years that iran has been building an empire of proxy forces in lebanon, in syria , in forces in lebanon, in syria, in iraq, in yemen, in gaza, all around the region , to try to around the region, to try to encircle israel and to try to chokeit encircle israel and to try to choke it and destroy it. that is iran's goal. iran wants to destroy israel, and iran wants to israel , because it to destroy israel, because it knows that israel is the only thing standing between it and regional domination. and so the israeli government is going to have to make some very difficult choices now about how to respond to iran in a way that makes clear you cannot fire ballistic missiles at israel and get away with it, even if israel is phenomenal , with it, even if israel is phenomenal, successful at intercepting them but not escalating this into an all out war that none of us want to see because we know how devastating that would be. we're here on the ground, and we will have to suffer that's the >> yeah, but i mean, that's the issue that you talk about issue is that you talk about deterrence , and look, people deterrence, and look, people will people will understand. people will understand that what we struggle, we being outside of the , what we struggle

the region, what we struggle with, with some of this is how how you can, you know, show that deterrence, how you can show strength, how you can show this shouldn't become a norm without it simply becoming just a lose lose situation . in lose situation. in >> and that's a very difficult balancing act that israel is going to have to try to solve. but, you know , while israel is but, you know, while israel is carrying on with a keep calm and carrying on with a keep calm and carry on mentality , and in carry on mentality, and in israel seeing mass israel you're not seeing mass panic streets . there panic in the streets. there needs to be tough deterrence against iran. that response against iran. and that response has to be regional. it has to be global. the world has to close ranks and tell iran you cannot continue this aggressive activity of arming terrorist armies to the teeth in lebanon, in syria and iraq, armies to the teeth in lebanon, in syria and iraq , in gaza, in in syria and iraq, in gaza, in yemen, all over the region , the yemen, all over the region, the same proxy forces that have been attacking british ships in the red sea, the same, proxy forces that have been attacking other international interests around

the region. there needs to be tough deterrence. and you . know, tough deterrence. and you. know, you say for people outside the region, it's difficult to imagine. you know, i imagine viewers in the can't viewers at home in the uk can't begin in begin to imagine a scenario in which fires 300 which a country fires 300 ballistic uavs at ballistic missiles and uavs at britain. i know if that britain. now, i know if that were happen, britain wouldn't were to happen, britain wouldn't say , well, you know, pips. say, well, you know, total pips. never turn the other never mind. let's turn the other cheek. never mind. let's turn the other cheek . there would be cheek. there would be a response, because you cannot simply fire ballistic missiles at the sovereign territory of a democratic country. and get away with it. iran needs to be put in its place, and it's important that be put in its place that iran be put in its place with regional coalition and with a regional coalition and not standing alone. not by israel standing alone. and definitely and yesterday was definitely encouraging to see a regional response. >> let me ask you about that then, because how do you get a regional response against iran when you know that the from what we see, our perception at least, is that the vast majority of the region around israel is going to be more pro—iran than pro—israel

. well, now the global the global view may be different, but how do you generate a regional response in a region that seems to be anti—israeli ? that seems to be anti—israeli? >> the geopolitical lines in the middle east are now between israel and the moderate arab nations, against iran and its axis of terror. iran has invested billions in in hezbollah, hamas, the militias in iraq , the houthis in yemen, in iraq, the houthis in yemen, creating this crescent that is trying to surround israel and threatening other arab countries . let's remember, saudi arabia has already suffered cruise missile attacks from iran on an oil field just a few years ago . oil field just a few years ago. our neighbours jordan, saudi arabia, the uae are just as concerned about iran as israel , concerned about iran as israel, and they're concerned about iran even before it gets nuclear weapons . and iran could be very weapons. and iran could be very close to doing it for fundamentally, israel has far more in common with countries like jordan, egypt and saudi

arabia in terms of their basic strategic interests, strategic interests that we share with the west and britain containing iran than there are differences between us. so what we need to see is partners around the world helping with the process of normalisation. remember, before this war, we had process that this war, we had a process that brought peace between israel and morocco and the united arab emirates and bahrain. we were on the brink of an agreement with saudi arabia, and that momentum has continue . part of what has to continue. part of what has to continue. part of what has been bringing these countries together is, first of all, the arab countries realisation that they've benefited nothing from boycotting and sidelining israel, but also because we share a common threat , the share a common threat, the iranian regime that has been filling our region with terrorist armies, sowing chaos and instability to try to advance its cause of regional domination and the pursuit of nuclear weapons . nuclear weapons. >> okay, elon levi, really good to talk to you. this morning. thanks very much indeed. any time. thank you .

time. thank you. >> well, coming up at half past nine this morning is camilla tominey show. and camilla is with us now . good morning to with us now. good morning to you, camilla. and i'm sure this attack by iran on israel is going to be a main theme of your your show this morning . your show this morning. >> well, absolutely. i'll be speaking to the health secretary, victoria atkins , in secretary, victoria atkins, in her capacity as one of rishi sunak right hand women , to ask sunak right hand women, to ask about the uk's response to this, what it means for gb views and indeed listeners. i mean, it's very developments in very worrying developments in the middle east overnight that obviously be ignored, obviously can't be ignored, even though we aren't in that region because impact it has on because of the impact it has on us. already seen us. and we've already seen a sort of british military offensive in moving our own defences to strategic areas in order to try and help israel in that, and the political fallout of that when it comes to rishi sunak perhaps potential sunak and perhaps potential splits that might emerge in the treatment of our relationship with israel. and indeed, netanyahu's response to this, of course, be telling over the course, will be telling over the coming days. it's going to be a very busy for the prime
