6:37 pm
humanitarian situation. everyone understands that palestinians are not terrace, hamas is terrace but they are deeply embedded with in palestinian society, civil society in gaza. we take russia's war in ukraine that the russian army, you have ukrainian army and civilian separates, resident dues russians are bombing, clearly hitting civilian infrastructure it's not a mistake, it's an hour on purpose because the army is in front and they are behind the ukrainian line, thatis they are behind the ukrainian line, that is civilians. in israel's case they are working to root out hamas, they are working to root out hamas, the terrorist organisation which is completely understandable and will be good for the world if this organisation is rooted out. the problem is that terrorists are embedded in using civilians as human shields. that makes the situation extremely difficult. we're speaking with our israeli friends to really

consider and measure how fast to wage the military operation, taking full account of the need to protect civilians and protect palestinians in gaza. ~ ., civilians and protect palestinians in gaza. ~ . ., civilians and protect palestinians ingaza.~ . , in gaza. what about with joseph burwell was _ in gaza. what about with joseph burwell was saying about - in gaza. what about with joseph burwell was saying about water| in gaza. what about with joseph - burwell was saying about water and electricity should not be cut off? is he speaking for all as an individual? he is he speaking for all as an individual?— is he speaking for all as an individual? . . ., ., , individual? he made it clear it was his individual— individual? he made it clear it was his individual stance. _ individual? he made it clear it was his individual stance. but - individual? he made it clear it was his individual stance. but certainly| his individual stance. but certainly all of us are very concerned about the plight of civilians it's clear... for example it's only 8% of water as it receives from israel progresses desalination plants but they need fuel to run. it's getting they need fuel to run. it's getting the fuel to run so they can desalinate, which is critical. we have to have humanitarian aid coming in, out of egypt was of its tens of lorries now a day prior to the hostilities it was hundreds. a long
6:39 pm
way to go. it is important to get that aid through because of course water is the basis of human life. we know the dire situation in the hospitals, we know the wounded, everything else going on. it's important that this aid does get through. important that this aid does get throu~h. , ., . , , , through. yes. how much unity is they are? you know _ through. yes. how much unity is they are? you know there's _ through. yes. how much unity is they are? you know there's criticism - are? you know there's criticism of the eu over terms of its conflicting messaging since the attack on october the 7th with different country saying different things. as we were implying they are, your representatives of your group saying different things to what the group believes. what i'm trying to ask is, has anything come out of that meeting that you agree on that you are going to be pushing for in terms of a pause in fighting so aid can get in, would you say is a very much needed? ., get in, would you say is a very much needed? . , ., needed? the wanting everyone agrees u on is that needed? the wanting everyone agrees upon is that we — needed? the wanting everyone agrees upon is that we have _ needed? the wanting everyone agrees upon is that we have to _ needed? the wanting everyone agrees upon is that we have to ask _ needed? the wanting everyone agrees upon is that we have to ask europe - upon is that we have to ask europe work much more rapidly and
6:40 pm
implementing the two state solution. because at the end we don't only need a cease—fire, which would be wonderful if everyone stops shooting come up with israel i'm sure they would stick to the word out with hamas we need a true solution to the conflict about him which is a two state solution. that's what the eu can and should put its weight behind where we do have a good argument in a good ability to influence that for that when everyone is talking about now is the very short—term. personally, i think it would be fantastic if there would be ineffective cease—fire some more humanitarian aid will come in. the question is, who would be enforcing that cease—fire and how do we make sure that it actually works? one of the parties involved is not democratically elected state held accountable to its voters. but it is hamas, which the european union, the us and others acknowledge as a terrorist organisation. it's a very difficult situation where i think
6:41 pm
all of us are quite frustrated. from the european side, when different leaders are saying different things they're actually emphasising one of they're actually emphasising one of the three or four aspects was up some are emphasising the aspect of the fact that israel has the right to defend itself and hamas is a terrorist organisation needs to be rooted out. that is true. others are emphasising the humanitarian plight of innocent palestinian civilians, which is also true these are not contradictions they are just different sides of the same difficult puzzle.— different sides of the same difficult puzzle. thank you for 'oinin: difficult puzzle. thank you for joining us- — difficult puzzle. thank you for joining us. lottie _ difficult puzzle. thank you for joining us. lottie is _ difficult puzzle. thank you for joining us. lottie is a - difficult puzzle. thank you for| joining us. lottie is a minister difficult puzzle. thank you for - joining us. lottie is a minister for joining us. lottie is a ministerfor foreign affairs. let's turn our attention to other news. sweden has just taken a step closer to nato membership for that the turkish president has submitted sweden's bin for ratification to turkeys parliament. mrwong for ratification to turkeys parliament. mr wong had rejected to the application because he believed stockholm was not doing enough to

clamp down on kurdish separatists living in sweden for the terrorist and hungry are the only countries holding out against sweden's application. let's speak to our diplomatic correspondent in the studio. ~ , diplomatic correspondent in the studio. , , ,~ ., studio. why exactly did they change their mind? — studio. why exactly did they change their mind? a _ studio. why exactly did they change their mind? a question. _ studio. why exactly did they change their mind? a question. we - studio. why exactly did they change their mind? a question. we don't i their mind? a question. we don't know because even as recent as the last two or three weeks turkish parliamentarians have continued to voice their objections put up turkeys long—standing concerns have been that sweden in its view has not been that sweden in its view has not been doing enough to tackle what it sees as kurdish separatist. it hasn't done enough to try and reduce anti—islamic protests. it didn't feel that sweden's law or prosecutors were doing enough to tackle people who were burning the koran in the streets in stockholm and things like that. that was the overt reason why turkey was resisting. but turkey tightens its laws and injuly this year the president of turkey announced to all
6:43 pm
nato members that his objections have been met and he would now support sweden becoming a nato member. we've had to wait until now to get even the legislation to come before turkey's parliament. we still get away for mcadoo parliament to process was up there is no timetable. as you say we still got hungry. —— turkey. if you talk timetable. as you say we still got hungiy- �*- turkey. if you talk to officials they do expect hungry to follow suit once israel ratifies its process. itjust shows how long this is taken. your original question, do we know if there's anything else in the next? wejust don't we know if there's anything else in the next? we just don't know. we know if there's anything else in the next? wejust don't know. have the next? wejust don't know. have the americans done anything to sweeten the deal? we note turks privately have been pushing for a long time to get access to american f-16 long time to get access to american f—i6jets in a long time to get access to american f—i6 jets in a trade deal long time to get access to american f—i6jets in a trade deal on long time to get access to american f—i6 jets in a trade deal on that to be accelerated for that was that part? we don't know at this stage. james landau, our diplomatic

i'm afraid, in the weather story as we go through the week ahead. in fact, we could see more significant rain arriving overnight tonight into the southeast and across eastern england, areas where we don't need any more significant rain moving across east anglia, lincolnshire into the east midlands and across to parts of south yorkshire. it it'll be accompanied eventually by another spell of wet weather moving through the west midlands. now with the cloud and the rain around, those temperatures are going to hold up. so it won't be as chilly a start. but yes, it will be wet for some, particularly across parts of lincolnshire, the east midlands and into northern england, south yorkshire. so the rain fairly showery in nature, but we don't need any more significant rain in these areas. so there is a weather warning in force here. there is a potential again for some further localised flooding to the south of that sunny spells and scattered showers to the north of that. once again, not a bad day for much of scotland and the far north of england, 11 or 12 degrees, the high further south, we're looking at top temperatures of 15 or 16 degrees. eventually, that rain will ease away. another little ridge of high pressure keeps things quiet and a cooler start first thing on wednesday morning, but it's not
