should the harrods owner have faced criminal charges before he died? and liam payne's father reads tributes outside the hotel in argentina where the one direction star died. hello. welcome to the programme. we start with the latest on the war in the middle east. a spokesperson for israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu says a drone has been launched towards his home in the northern town of caesarea. neither mr netanyahu nor any member of his family was in the building at the time, and there are no reports of any casualties. earlier, the israeli military said that three drones had been fired into israel from lebanon. sirens ring two were intercepted,

but one was reported to have hit a building. meanwhile, in gaza, the hamas—run health authorities says at least 33 people were killed in israeli air strikes in the jabalia refugee camp on friday. there have also been reports of casualties following air strikes in at least two other parts of gaza. let's speak to our correspondent in jerusalem, jonah fisher. this news that is just coming into us that a drone went to benjamin netanyahu's home in caesarea. can you tell us? what caesarea. can you tell us? what we know is _ caesarea. can you tell us? what we know is that _ caesarea. can you tell us? what we know is that three _ caesarea. can you tell us? what we know is that three drones . we know is that three drones were launched from southern lebanon this morning. they crossed into israeli airspace and the israel defense force, the idf, says that two of those germs were intercepted by one of them continued towards caesarea where prime minister nat —— netanyahu has his prize

—— private residence and it is not clear when it struck but we had a statement that prime minister netanyahu were not at the residence at the time and there had been no casualties. to give you a bit of context, stabbing jones is a particularly difficult challenge for the israeli defense forces —— stopping drones. it is not long ago that a drone hit an army base not farfrom where this a drone hit an army base not far from where this drone has struck today. they are harder to stab any rockets that are regularly fired from southern lebanon into northern israel —— an act to stop. israel has indicated where a challenge it is. , ., ., ., is. lets turn to what we have been reporting _ is. lets turn to what we have been reporting in _ is. lets turn to what we have been reporting in gaza, - is. lets turn to what we have been reporting in gaza, the l been reporting in gaza, the attack on the jabalia refugee camp. a fresh israeli air strike there. bring us up to date and what we know about

that. it date and what we know about that. , . ., ., that. it is clear that the israeli offensive - that. it is clear that the israeli offensive in - that. it is clear that the - israeli offensive in northern gazais israeli offensive in northern gaza is continuing. there have been several incidents overnight only when you are referring to there is where 33 people, among them 21 women, reported killed by the hamas administration in the area. we have seen and social media footage which we cannot verify is more than one doesn't bodies at the local hospital. the hospital director has been talking about the ward being simply too full and the injured are having to be treated on the floor. separate, the hamas run health organisation put out a statement this morning saying three hospitals in northern gaza are being targeted by the israeli military this morning with the objective of stopping them from functioning. we have reached out to the israeli military this morning to get their response and they have

yet to come back to us on those specific incidents. just to give you the context, of course, the israeli military has over the last few weeks and focusing its attention on northern gaza. it has called on people to evacuate the area but lots of people had either chosen not to do that or are unable to do that, leaving them in notjust unable to do that, leaving them in not just a unable to do that, leaving them in notjust a dangerous situation but, according to the humanitarian agencies, which are trying to access them and get supplies to them, are atrocious conditions, as well. thank you very much. let's speak to daniel levy, president of the us—middle east project and a former adviser to the israeli government. welcome to the programme. what are your thoughts in reaction to the news that has just coming to us about the drone which has been launched towards benjamin netanyahu's home. i

understand confirmation that it struck the home. the responses that the attempt to depict resistance movements being incapacitated are clearly incorrect and for a reason, which is that if we understand this through the prism of, well, it isjust this through the prism of, well, it is just terror, then well, it is just terror, then we fell to understand that illegal actions are taken against the people of palestine and lebanon, you are going to have these movements rooted in the objective conditions of their people and popular with their people and popular with the people. so the killing of their leaders does not end this, a political horizon would end this but there is not one and netanyahu makes sure that there is not one. unfortunately, at the same time, we have the new set of northern gaza which you shared. you cannot verify it because

yourjournalist you cannot verify it because your journalist are you cannot verify it because yourjournalist are not you cannot verify it because your journalist are not allowed in there any localjournalist who can report on it are being killed. 125 palestinian journalists have been killed by israel since the start of this. from the as well a government's perspective they would say that they are trying to eliminate they are trying to eliminate the capabilities of hamas and hezbollah. we saw scenes of celebration in israel after news of hamas's leader became confirmed. what is the next strategy then in terms of the israeli strategy call to eliminate hamas and hezbollah? that comes with more civilian casualties as today injabalia. yeah, and luck. from a human perspective, one can understand the celebrations in israel. the crimes of october the 7th were crimes of october the 7th were crimes and were reprehensible. but one can only understand

this, that this is not a war against sinwar. without a bit of context, we cannot know what is going on nor what will happen next. any reason that palestinians in gaza living refugee camps is because they were kicked up by israel are never allowed to return home and living under a military government for 20 years and then half a century of occupation of all palestinian lands, displacement, blockades, illegal settlements. a system thatis illegal settlements. a system that is separate and unequal defined as a part side by the international court ofjustice. that was before october seven. netanyahu has not been at work with hamas and sinwar since then but rather the palestinian people in the west bank, destroying everything. more than 40,000 people dead, 50,000 children —— make 15,000

children. aid workers, we cannot deal with this until we understand that we can ever have security, snapper is very jews or palestinians of course alongside unequal conditions so we have to step back and say how can we change the israeli incentive structure to get out of the structure of violence which will continue as long as palestinians have their rights denied. this is not about terror group and a normal state but rather a permanent occupation and resistance both of which use violations of international law, which is why the chief prosecutor of the international criminal court has a request for the arrest of prime minister and german netanyahu. prime minister and german netanyahn— prime minister and german netanyahu. == benjamin netanyahu. —— benjamin netanyahu. -- ben'amin netanyahu. thankh netanyahu. -- benjamin netanyahu. thank you . netanyahu. -- benjaminl netanyahu. thank you for shafinu netanyahu. thank you for sharing your _ netanyahu. thank you for sharing your thoughts. i

there are fresh questions for the metropolitan police over its handling of accusations made against the former harrods owner mohammed al fayed. the bbc has established that the force asked prosecutors to decide whether to charge al fayed in relation to just two of 21 the women who accused him of sexual offences while he was still alive. here's our investigations correspondent daniel de simone. mohamed al fayed, a sexual predator. it's been a month since the bbc film detailed his sexual abuse of multiple women at harrods, with former employees of the store saying the billionaire sexually assaulted or raped them. last week, the met police revealed 21 women had approached the force while he was alive to report sexual offences. he was never charged. they refused to say exactly how many cases it passed to prosecutors for charging decisions. but we've now established the met police only asked prosecutors to decide whether to charge mohamed al fayed in relation to two out

of the 21 women who contacted the force to say they were abused by him. it raises serious questions about the met�*s handling of al fayed. 40 further women have approached the force since the bbc film, with allegations spanning from 1979 to 2013. more than 65 women have contacted the bbc itself, with allegations as far back as 1977. in response to the bbc, a met spokesperson said... yesterday, former fulham captain ronnie gibbons said the club owner groped her the club owner groped her on two occasions. she said, "speaking my truth on two occasions. and finally telling my story "will hopefully help me heal "will hopefully help me heal and be rid of the shame, and be rid of the shame, embarrassment "and pain embarrassment "and pain i have carried for years." i have carried for years." the scandal around al fayed the scandal around al fayed

and his years of abuse and his years of abuse continues to grow. continues to grow. daniel de simone, bbc news. daniel de simone, bbc news. and danieljoins me now. and danieljoins me now. clearly, lots of questions for clearly, lots of questions for the metropolitan police to the metropolitan police to enter about how this could have enter about how this could have happened. what comes next? timer;r happened. what comes next? timer;r happened. what comes next? they happened. what comes next? they sa the sa the happened. what comes next? they say they are _ happened. what comes next? they say they are now— happened. what comes next? iie: say they are now conducting happened. what comes next? tie: say they are now conducting a happened. what comes next? they say they are _ happened. what comes next? they say they are now— happened. what comes next? ti21: say they are now conducting a full review of all the full review of all the allegations they received so allegations they received so the more than 20 women who the more than 20 women who approach them before he died approach them before he died and the 40 who have approached and the 40 who have approached them since the bbc�*s film a them since the bbc�*s film a month ago. he is dead so he month ago. he is dead so he cannot be charged but there are cannot be charged but there are other people who have been other people who have been named and as we have reported named and as we have reported today, a woman was investigated today, a woman was investigated for aiding and abetting an early age —— alleged rape. so those are people alive. there needs to be a review of how this was all handled. when you think about other scandals,

they were reviewed into

named and as we have reported l today, a woman was ir-d up? good morning. of course, there is going _ up? good morning. of course, there is going to _ up? good morning. of course, there is going to be _ up? good morning. of course, there is going to be an - there is going to be an investigation into this as your correspondent was saying. i can only work on what i have seen in the past in terms of police practice and practice in the net which is shocking. —— in the met. more than 20 women more than women the met. more than 20 women came forward against a wealthy came forward against a wealthy and powerful men and basically and powerful men and basically nothing happened. i commend the nothing happened. i commend the women for stepping forward in such a courageous way to tell their story. they told it now as they did in the past. you have to ask questions around the commitment of the met police in investing in crimes against women and question whether there is an underlying culture within the met where women's complaints are not taken seriously enough and are not listened to and the crimes committed against them are not being investigated in an appropriate way. all of these

questions i'm sure will be asked and it will come out. this is another grim day for the metropolitan police. public trust and confidence is at rock bottom to hear that all of these women came forward and nothing was done. abysmal. this is not the first _ nothing was done. abysmal. this is not the first time we talked about failings in the metropolitan police and we crimes women, like the case against sarah everard. what has to happen?— to happen? first and foremost, the sarah _ to happen? first and foremost, the sarah -- — to happen? first and foremost, the sarah -- met _ to happen? first and foremost, the sarah -- met needs - to happen? first and foremost, the sarah -- met needs to - to happen? first and foremost, the sarah -- met needs to be l the sarah —— met needs to be transparent. what we now need to hear is from the

metropolitan police directly
