east, there's israeli policy in the middle east, meaning that us policy in... this region is based on israel's interests and i think that the assassination of sulaimani reflects that very clearly. the architect of that operation by the way wasn't donald trump, donald trump of course gave his approval, but the architect was mike pompeyo, is known for his evangelical tendencies and for his ideological support for the israeli side, and before the assassination of sulaimani, by the way, israel had... carried out similar assassinations against figures on iraqi soil or in iraqi territory, after that we then saw the operation, the assassination of sulaymani and mohandis, so this again shows the considerable sway which israel enjoys over american policies and over american politicians, which is becoming more clearer even today with the uh with the current war in gaza. another point i'd like to mention is that um... "i wouldn't go too far in trying to think what america aims to achieve. i think that um, in the case of the assassination of sulaimani for example, this was basically some kind of

our middle east correspondent yolande knell gave us this update.l concern of the israeli hostages' families that many of the hostages have chronic diseases, they are older people, or they have a need for life—saving medicines, and some of them have been injured as well, according to what we have heard from released hostages. so they actually went recently, a number of the families, to qatar, and met the prime minister there and this deal was announced afterwards. then it seemed to encounter some logistical problems. now we are told by the qataris and the israelis it is to go ahead and that within hours these medicines should be entering into the gaza strip via egypt. yolande, does this development mean that there could be any chance of any kind of ceasefire head? i mean, it is being seen as something positive. it's obviously, with the qataris, they're key mediators, a sign there are ongoing talks, these ongoing contacts between the israelis and hamas with the us very much involved as well. we did have the white house spokesman coming out last night

we're talking with aaron, david miller, who worked on us middle east policy at the state department for 25 years. he's now a senior fellow at the carnegie endowment for international peace. and he's also author of the much to promise land. america's elusive search for error is really piece. it's aaron, it's great to be with use to look at a book on the much to promise land. and the notion about earth is really piece may sounds like fantasy at this moment. and i just want to start asking you about what looks to me, kind of like a quagmire of sorts right now. and whether or not you see it the same way and whether you see an off ramp. first of all, steve, thanks for having me. it's great to be here with your work, i think is rarely some palestinians, and let's be clear, you've got never in the history these really tell us any com, okay. we entered a phase of terror and violence, the exponential rise of dest bose on october 7, ending the punishing is really restricts and effort, and ground campaign and effort to eradicate destroyed a degree on mice. of this goes beyond anything is really so

well daniel, ladies, president of the us middle east project. he's also a farmer. it's really negotiate that. he's joining us live from london. very good to have you with us. um, i want to ask you, 1st of all we've been talking a lot about the, the content of the ruling itself. i want to ask you about the way in which it was presented, because it seemed as though it was done in a very specific fashion to make it extremely clear to those watching and to those listening for the judges were ruling on as well. indeed, i mean you had said very interestingly, the judges were called the reality on the ground quoted extensively from senior you do. and another officials and bodies as to the devastation has taken place, quoted only very sparingly, from what these are others presented to the court come out and be not a very compelling taste that is rather late, that the judges then spoke all the specific steps that need to be taken, they went through what the phone was on each of the steps before them to narrow the full thing on the court. apparently this consistently was 15

middle east and i'll post you as president joe biden says, the pro and radian forces of behind the attack. how this thing is from the suspension of funding by nearly a dozen western countries through the us relief in the works agency that's up to israel, claimed some of the organization stuff were involved in the october the 7th service attack. also, eco was under the influence of foreign powers and betraying its founding principles has become a threat to its members. states adopted in here rational and unacceptable past year by imposing illegals, who feel legitimate in humane and pure responsible sanctions in violation of its own. tx 3 west african countries, nisha valley up aquino fossil announced the withdrawal from the regional block because the, the, the headlines a 3 m must go time this monday morning, monday to speak to scouts. i'll be back with the full use one down for just them to an hours time off to get that the welfare to was a part of the relationship between the economy and politics. has been the central issue in a, a government strategy that you're supposed to work in unis

know it doesn't olivia's president of the us middle east project, and for me is really negotiated, the joints live now from london at. so daniel, what's your reaction festival to what you've been hearing at from the hague today at the international court of justice. i think it's a quite remarkable not just decision, but also the way it was presented. uh, i think, well, any attempt to on hold international law and to grow to some kind of global justice owes the government of south africa and the legal team that the south africans put in front of the quote. a huge debt of gratitude is now the quote and this was expected and becky, and i'm having followed known as a lawyer, but having followed what, whatever, almost all things did not cool for the media's he's fine. what he did was states very clearly that is ralph minutes. reactions have to be conducted to fulfill these roles defense not to possibly be engaging in genocide in violations of the genocide convention against the palestinians. and the specific measures in terms of the conduct of this operation in terms of what's not allowed i

we did have the white house spokesman coming out last night saying that a us middle east envoy had beenaid, that a new hostage release deal could be released. the qataris and the egyptians have made proposals in recent weeks that would see some of the remaining more than 100 hostages held in gaza being released in exchange for a ceasefire and for more aid going into gaza. in exchange for a ceasefire and for more aid going into gaza. in terms ofthe more aid going into gaza. in terms of the aid, — more aid going into gaza. in terms of the aid, how _ more aid going into gaza. in terms of the aid, how needed _ more aid going into gaza. in terms of the aid, how needed is - more aid going into gaza. in terms of the aid, how needed is it? - more aid going into gaza. in terms of the aid, how needed is it? we l of the aid, how needed is it? we have had of the aid, how needed is it? - have had lots of fresh warnings from aid agencies in recent days about the dire situation. there was one from a group of un special rapporteur is a few days ago they said basically a reasonable person in the gaza st

what difference could this make it it gets resolution and asked daniel, the president of the us middleoject founded by the council formulations and the former israeli negotiator in multiple, have a listen. cautions that the foundation is being laid and therefore are from the movement and would imagine that getting a deal where the israeli in gaza hostages are released, the cease—fire and getting on top of the humanitarian crisis in the civilians are just been horrendous and you would get an exchange in the release of palestinian, and to get there but just as qatar in egypt at the speed to hamas, americans have to deliver the israeli side and benjamin netanyahu, that could be a major stumbling block but the only way you ratchet down the regional conflagration is to get the cease—fire in gaza. but conflagration is to get the cease-fire in gaza. but the qatari prime minister _ cease-fire in gaza. but the qatari prime minister is _ cease-fire in gaza. but the qatari prime minister is talking - cease-fire in gaza. but the qatari prime minister is talking about i cease-fire in gaza. but the

i'm adrian, instead of going to the us x ray of states wrapped up his latest visit to the middle east with cairo as the final stop. it's anthony lincoln's full time in the region since israel begun it's war ongoing. so that's 4 times in less than 4 months . he says the conflict needs to end soon, as he's cold on regional leaders to help build a stable, postwar owed up. but there's no sign that the goal is nearing it. in the death toll on palestinian civilians continues to climb. that is where the leaders of stated that it will be a long campaign. we'll go to a panel in just a moment. but 1st here's finsen by the us, secretary of state is wrapping up his 4th middle east tour since israel began. we're on gaza nearly 4 months ago as the blinking had 2 messages. the us supports israel, but more must be done to prevent post indian civilian death. we know that is facing an enemy that embeds itself among civilians. who hides in and fires from schools from hospitals. makes this incredibly challenging. but the daily till once it leaves and gaza, particularly on children, is far too high. we wa

us national security advisor jake sullivan has called on countries with influence in the middle eastcal artery at risk, and we continue to reserve the right to take further action, but this needs to be an all—hands—on—deck effort. and frankly, the answer to your question about how long this goes on and how bad it gets comes down notjust to the decisions of the countries in the coalition that took strikes last week, but the broad set of countries, including those with influence in tehran and influence in other capitals in the middle east, making this a priority to indicate that the entire world rejects wholesale the idea that a group like the houthis can basically hijack the world, as they are doing. the qatari prime minister and foreign minister also warned of a dangerous escalation in the region after the us and uk strikes on the houthis. we see like it's the most dangerous escalation right now because it's not affecting only the region, it's affecting the global trade as well. now, we see that there are some retaliations from the us and uk on the houthis, trying to refrain them fro

but 1st here's finsen by the us. secretary of state is wrapping up his 4th middle east tour since israel began. we're on gaza nearly 4 months ago. as the blinking had 2 messages. the us supports israel, but more must be done to prevent post indian civilian death. we know that is facing an enemy that embeds itself among civilians who hides in and fires from schools from hospitals makes this incredibly challenging. but the daily till once it leaves and gaza, particularly on children, is far too high. we want this war to end as soon as possible. there's been far too much loss of life far too much suffering. uh but it's vital that is real, achieve its very legitimate, attractive of ensuring that october 7th can never happen again as well. it is rarely occupied westbank blinking visit regional powers, including caspar jordan, the u. e and saudi arabia. he spoke of working together to build a lasting peace wants the conflict is over. but it's on clear when that will happen, or what role each of these powers would play is really prime minister. benjamin netanyahu has repeatedly warned along mor

and number three is to push the us out of the middle east. the middle east, in a way that we were not before this latest crisis. we have a much larger maritime component. we have more aircraft on the ground and in the skies, and we have more defence assets deployed in the greater middle east as well. the conflict can be seen as yet another instance of crisis in the middle east, but take a step back and it can also be understood as being within the broader context of a divided world. this goes way beyond being a regional challenge. this is a global challenge. we're talking about a vital artery of global commerce, a critical maritime choke point. if you recognise that iran has supplied the houthi missiles that are targeting our shipping and iran is supplying weapons to russia to use in ukraine... ..you can't really avoid the conclusion that we're in an era of great power confrontation, where blocs are beginning to face off against each other. and in one camp, you have the us—led west, the liberal democracies, of which the uk is inextricably an

us envoy for middle east peace, thank you for being with us. flood over the next week as river levels continue rising. more than 1800 properties have already flooded after prolonged wet weather and intense rainfall. currently, there are nearly 350 flood warnings and alerts in place in england and five in wales. jessica lane has the latest from collingham in nottinghamshire. collingham is here in nottinghamshire, it's in between nottingham and lincoln and it's quite a large village. and as you can see it as one of the villages that's been affected. it's notjust here, though, there are several of the smaller villages in this area which have been totally cut off over the last few days. and some residents have had to be evacuated because the floodwaters have just covered the roads going in and out. and that's because levels in the river trent have reached record highs over the last few days. i'm told that here it is a slightly improving picture, though. the road sign you can see over my shoulder, yesterday it was covered by water and now you can re

2 and among top us diplomats on the situation in the middle east. what do you make of it? well, i think that are recognizing that this administration has led really the world down an extremely disruptive path. the united states has lost what little credibility to had. i mean, i think the most enrolled in particular, i think the international world, look, it is, this isn't the muslim world versus israel. this is the entire global community being united, calling for a cease fire, condemning israel for its worth of crimes against humanity and its genocide. and america, which it purports to be the leader of the free world, propose to be a nation, the aims to protect democracy and freedom appear to be the biggest lot of the biggest hypocrite it is enabling genocide. president binding is actually the 1st sitting us president to be sued for enabling genocide if israel is guilty of genocide, which i think as a lawyer, it absolutely is intentionally guilty of perfect crimes against humanity. in genocide the united states is it is its biggest co conspirator,

also seeing how effective the us intervention in the middle east is really complex and depends on where you are as they're both good and bad things that came out of it. however, in my opinion, not so great stuff includes political instability fights between different religious groups. people getting displays and these extremist groups popping up. it's like something that sometimes intervention destroys the relationship between countries and many in the middle east. end up not being big fans of the us as do you just mentioned earlier and your last segment. and you get the example up the raw for that a lot of instability, tensions between religious groups and these extremist groups getting stronger in libya. u. s. involvement kind of left this power gap and less and letter to ongoing issues may not get a sense where the us got involved when to fight to follow up on then brought the telephone back into power and there's still struggles to make things stable. so yeah, there's multiple situations show that it's very complicated and have different outcomes . yeah. what does dependent on this

failure after failure, what has us policy in the middle east led to? the actions of the anglo-saxons pose a direct threat to international peace. not peacemakers, but warmongers. how now to correct the mistakes of the west. coalition statement by sergei lavrov at the un. keeping up with trump, the former us president announced victory in the primaries in new hampshire, a state of special importance, as the results of the preliminary elections will affect the entire presidential campaign. a find for which we worked day and night in freezing temperatures in icy water. keep it that way, party card. reveal the secret of the death of the pilots in a battle with a german fighter, so that the family knows their fate. his hero is indeed similar, at the beginning of the special operation , to a successful maneuver in the donetsk direction, assault units, artillery, and reconnaissance took part in it, as a result of which fortified positions in the ssu were destroyed. in addition, the command post and helicopters are under attack k-52 alligators attacked enemy a

now it was used in the interests of the us middle east group; according to the houthis, the ship wasng wars all over the planet, we are not saw nothing new from the united states except destruction, however, the united states did not promise anything new, washington is determined to repeat the same actions in the hope of getting some different result, strategic communications coordinator john kirby last week i remember threatening that there would be strikes . forms with the inscription we have no ties with israel, the houthis promise not to touch such people, however, this promise does not apply to those who touch the houthis themselves to the united states and izhi with them, here with the eternal desire to shoot themselves the european union appears on the scene. eu countries agreed in principle to conduct a security operation in the red sea and discussed various options for this mission. considering that the red sea is the shortest route from the indian ocean to europe in the first place, the solution. will present the european mission as its next achievement, just as the sanctio

us bases in the middle east have been attacked more than 160 times by iran—backed militants since thembers of the us congress are applying pressure on president biden to respond. democratic congressman seth moulton sits on the house armed services committee. earlier we asked him what he thinks a strategic response would look like. exactly what it looks like is what the administration is debating right now. but the goals and has to achieve is to send a clear, decisive message to these militia groups and also to their backers that this kind of behaviour is not acceptable and will not be tolerated, but it also has to be politically calculated to ensure that the message of deterrence gets through and what doesn't happen is this response empowers exactly the people who want to go to war. this is particularly relevant with iran. we all know that iran have competing factors —— factions, factions that want to reconcile with the west and actions that want to start a war. we don't want to play into our enemy's hands. joining me to discuss the attack is michael singh, managing director and senio
