3:11 pm
same thing. they're heartbroken over conflict, but also over the conflict, but also they're concerned over they're really concerned over what the implications could be for them back here. and as you said, there was that £3 million package that the government announced yesterday to that security organisation, cst . and security organisation, cst. and they they provide security for jewish schools and synagogue eggs. and they said over the last week alone they've seen a rise of 324% in the number of anti—semitic, anti—semitic reports. i think we can hear now from a few of the people i've been speaking to here just about how they're feeling at the moment at well , i suppose like moment at well, i suppose like most other people , very concerned. >> and obviously we have to be wary of where we go , where we wary of where we go, where we are and be vigilant. but and obviously much more than than usual , a very threatened, very worried. >> i've just taken my son to school. he's in hasmonean and he
3:12 pm

3:14 pm
course, it's the israeli bombardment of gaza continues. there is a deadline for people to essentially get out of parts of gaza. that deadline is set to run out at about 9 pm. uk time tonight. i think we've got some footage of what gaza is looking like at the moment. so it looks, of course, just at surface level there, relatively peaceful at there, relatively peaceful at the moment. what hamas are saying to people in gaza is stay where you are for now. israel has put a deadline on it and it is expected that when that deadune is expected that when that deadline runs out, we could well see a ground incursion. charlie peters is now available for us from tel aviv. charlie our gb news reporter on the ground there . yeah, thank you very there. yeah, thank you very much. just confirm to me what much. so just confirm to me what was what was going earlier was what was going on earlier then. sirens were then. so air raid sirens were going off and there was rocket fire, right ? fire, is that right? >> that's right. about 20 minutes ago, air raid sirens minutes ago, the air raid sirens went off actually, as we were setting up to join your show. so of course, we had to immediately get down shelter in our get down to the shelter in our building . as we were going down building. as we were going down
3:15 pm
the heard some loud the stairs, we heard some loud explosions overhead . and we explosions overhead. and we assume that's the iron dome air defence israel is defence system. israel is capability for intercepting rocket fire wherever it comes from. it was quite a heavy barrage. we saw several. we heard , i should say, several heard, i should say, several explosions above us, roughly appears to be the same kind of distance as the rocket fire. we were under in the same location, just a couple of days ago . but just a couple of days ago. but yeah, ten minutes in the shelter, as is the standard practise in israel when under rocket fire you take shelter, you wait ten minutes, you wait for the all clear from the siren and then back to normal life. immediately after came out of immediately after we came out of the shelter, came with the shelter, everyone came with us are back outside, us and people are back outside, just beneath me, walking their us and people are back outside, just b going| me, walking their us and people are back outside, just b going aboutvalking their us and people are back outside, just b going about their|g their us and people are back outside, just b going about their normal dogs, going about their normal life nothing happened. life as if nothing happened. it's just fairly normal for people in israel at the moment. >> it's absolutely >> yeah, it's absolutely staggering, isn't it, to think that this can be classed as normal as we scenes of normal as we look at scenes of explosions place, rockets explosions taking place, rockets being sky and being intercepted in the sky and there is more than talk. there is an ongoing international day
3:16 pm
of jihad, which is an ongoing international day ofjihad, which has is an ongoing international day of jihad, which has seen is an ongoing international day ofjihad, which has seen a lot ofjihad, which has seen a lot of israel's near neighbours and countries around that area like jordan and yemen. of course hold mass demonstrations . but mass demonstrations. but charlie, what's the situation , charlie, what's the situation, as we understand it, in gaza at the moment? so israel has issued a deadline. have they to basically say get out of gaza by this time? and then . what this time? and then. what >> yeah. so it was probably the most dramatic news we've woken up to while we were here, actually, which was saying that they to evacuate all they want to evacuate all civilians in northern civilians in the northern portion the gaza strip. they portion of the gaza strip. they didn't say why , but if you've didn't say why, but if you've been following the attacks, they've running hamas they've been running on hamas locations in the gaza strip for the last 4 or 5 days. it's pretty clear what is going to follow. massive bombardment of hamas sites and the ability to use more significant munitions on those locations without the fear of that awful phrase in war, collateral damage, civilian
3:17 pm
deaths in that area . now, deaths in that area. now, commentators in the area , commentators in the area, analysts and indeed ngos and charities on the ground have warned that such an extraction is impossible. there are just two main supply routes from the north to the south of gaza. one is by the coast where there has been significant artillery and rockets and airstrikes from the israeli defence forces on hamas positions. and one further inland, we're not sure of the state of that route, but still 1.1 million people leaving a location in 24 hours is difficult enough . in normal difficult enough. in normal times, in times of war when there have already been heavy bombardments , 750 targets hit bombardments, 750 targets hit last night, 400 the night before, 200 the night before that. it's clear that this is now going to be something that many are calling impossible to get all of those people down from the north below the wadi gaza, an area of wetlands about halfway down the strip. but leaflets have been deployed by
3:18 pm
the idf across that northern region. they are sending messages on social media and on the televisions in gaza to try and transmit that message that people have to go. now, hamas will use you as human shields to prevent these attacks. yeah that's the concern, clearly. >> charlie, thank you very, very much. you stay safe out there . much. you stay safe out there. we'll be going back to charlie peters in tel aviv as and when there any continuing there are any continuing developments. what you're looking at there is, of course, shots of gaza. that deadline to get out is looming and just some news to bring you that we are potentially it's a fast moving picture , i'm you can picture, as i'm sure you can understand, potentially going to be secretary be hearing from secretary of state antony blinken in in israel in the course of the next maybe half an hour or so , some maybe half an hour or so, some kind of joint statement coming from him and potentially the qataris actually . so we'll bring qataris actually. so we'll bring you more information on that as and when we get it. but of course, we will try our best to take live if possible. but take that live if possible. but as israel—hamas as the israel—hamas war escalates as the escalates and as the humanitarian in gaza
3:19 pm
humanitarian crisis in the gaza strip , i'm having strip worsens, i'm having a little look at of the little look at some of the foreign aid disasters that are taking we've seen taking place here. we've seen that union that the european union is supposedly they supposedly given what they thought were water pipes to hamas. being used as hamas. they are being used as makeshift bombs and weapons and rocket launchers. we also have a look at that humanitarian crisis. like i was saying, in gaza and what can be done about that very mixed views on either side of this is israel within its rights to withhold old electricity, water, water and basic supplies to a strip of land from which such an existential crisis for israel is being launched ? or do they have being launched? or do they have a human and moral duty to keep the people of their in a situation where they can continue to survive? so we'll be talking about all of that very, very shortly. i'm patrick christys on gb news. this is christys is on gb news. this is britain's channel
3:20 pm
3:21 pm
3:22 pm
3:23 pm
sunday mornings from 930 on. gb news . news. >> welcome back. you are watching and listening to me patrick christys right here on gb news. we're going to bring you some footage right now of alma al—sha'b in lebanon where this is just coming through to us now. smoke is rising from the area by the lebanon israeli border after israeli military said it was firing artillery into lebanon in response to a suspected armed in—film location. so just to bring you these shots now, just coming through to us here at gb news, smoke is rising from the area by the lebanon israeli border after
3:24 pm
israeli military said it was firing artillery into lebanon in response to a suspected armed infiltration in. so that is the latest out there. of course, we've already been bringing you scenes from gaza. a deadline for residents of gaza to get out is fast ticking away . i think that fast ticking away. i think that finishes at around £0.09 pm. uk time. what comes after that? we will have to wait and see. but the massing of israeli troops around that particular area continues as well. air raid sirens in tel aviv and we are expecting probably in about well, it's scheduled. we'll have to wait and see in about ten minutes. time to hear from anthony blinken, the us secretary of state. he is in doha, are expecting doha, where we are expecting some kind of statement from him on this ongoing situation . and on this ongoing situation. and it's also worthwhile noting that we are in the middle of a global day of jihad, apparently, and day ofjihad, apparently, and you are just looking at there at the continuing plumes of smoke , the continuing plumes of smoke, by the way, as the camera pans around that border. around from that lebanon border. the that they
3:25 pm
the israeli saying that they were potentially about to face down armed incursion from down an armed incursion from lebanon that would imply that hezbollah are are gearing up for some kind of action there. and look, obviously, as this conflict escalates and the humanitarian crisis in gaza worsens, i am asking whether or not we should be providing aid, whether or not anybody should be providing aid, because according to new research, more than £2 billion of uk foreign aid aimed at helping poorer nations cope with things like the escalating climate crisis , well, it's been climate crisis, well, it's been channelled through private consultancy since 2010. so 10% of foreign aid going through consultants like kpmg, pricewaterhouse coopers and of course, the adam smith international, for example. well, this comes as international aid groups are warning they cannot deliver food and other basic services to the people in the gaza strip . now, people in the gaza strip. now, are we equipped as a nation to help provide aid and actually , help provide aid and actually, is israel within its rights to try to block aid into gaza at the moment? joining me now is
3:26 pm
defence editor and chief foreign affairs columnist at the telegraph is con coughlin. con, thank you very, very much. yeah what should the world be doing now it comes gaza? is now when it comes to gaza? is israel right, do you think, to be blockading it in the way that it is ? it is? >> well, think this is a very >> well, i think this is a very challenging situation all around , patrick, and certainly , you , patrick, and certainly, you know, in the past, aid has been diverted in gaza for other uses. and you made reference to pipes being used for makeshift bombs and everything else. i mean, i think if you just take a step back and look at the billions of dollars of aid that have been sent to gaza in recent years by the gulf states, it cetera by by the gulf states, it cetera by by the west , the idea was for that the west, the idea was for that aid to be used to develop the dawson economy, to provide infrastructure for the people of gaza. infrastructure for the people of gaza . and what happened? the gaza. and what happened? the vast majority of that aid went into developing weapons systems and building military
3:27 pm
infrastructure , which has now infrastructure, which has now been used to attack israel and provoke this crisis. so, you know , it is of course, people know, it is of course, people want to see ordinary palestinian families and children provided with with the basics for existence . but the problem is existence. but the problem is hamas controls gaza . hamas hamas controls gaza. hamas controls who receives what. and whenever. aid in the past has gone into gaza, hamas has used it for its own nefarious . it for its own nefarious. >> it goes it goes deeper than that as well. it goes deeper than that con as well. we are heanng than that con as well. we are hearing at the moment about hamas potentially gearing up to use as human shields use civilians as human shields because israel is telling them to get out of the gaza strip at the moment. hamas is telling them to stay they are. so them to stay where they are. so you look at it like that and you think, well, who's contributing more loss of civilian more to the loss of civilian life there? you know, is it artillery shells and israeli bullets or is it hamas ? is. artillery shells and israeli bullets or is it hamas ? is . one bullets or is it hamas? is. one of the one of the problems we
3:28 pm
have with islamist groups like hamas is because of their religious ideology, they don't really care much for human life because if you get killed in conflict , then you because if you get killed in conflict, then you go to because if you get killed in conflict , then you go to heaven. conflict, then you go to heaven. >> et cetera . and so you have >> et cetera. and so you have this very callous attitude and, of course, improper danda terms. every palestinian child or grandmother or whoever , any grandmother or whoever, any civilian that is killed in gaza with with this predicted israeli offensive is a propaganda victory for hamas. so that's how we see it. and we've been here before. remember, saddam hussein in a different context, using human shields in the first gulf war. it makes life very, very difficult . um, but itjust war. it makes life very, very difficult . um, but it just shows difficult. um, but it just shows you what we're up against that we have this, this organisation that's just committed the worst atrocity against the jewish people since the holocaust. and is now preparing to do the same against its own people. it's
3:29 pm
beyond belief now. >> it really is. and you just to summarise, connie, you think that if aid was getting through to gaza now because we're about to gaza now because we're about to see probably some. absolutely horrific pictures and video footage of the humanitarian situation in gaza that will almost definitely involve very young children as well. and that will make people feel rightly , will make people feel rightly, you know, disgusted. and where is the humanity in all of this ? is the humanity in all of this? a huge of the view that if aid was getting through to gaza right now, it probably wouldn't go to the people that it was intended to go to. do you think ? intended to go to. do you think? well i think that's the question we need to ask ourselves. >> i mean, i think people have talked about establishing humanity in corridors. the egyptian government as basically appealed for this at and if such appealed for this at and if such a corridor could be established and if there was a guarantee that that the aid going into
3:30 pm
gaza was going to the people who needed it and not to sustain the hamas fighters and terrorists, then i think there's an argument for that. but, you know , the for that. but, you know, the history of gaza is hamas controls gaza and they control who receives what. so you know, this is a very big problem . and this is a very big problem. and i think, you know, any anybody donating aid needs to sort of look at this picture with with wide open eyes and just ask the question , is this much needed question, is this much needed aid going to the people who deserve it or to a bunch of terrorists . terrorists. >> okay. com thank you very much con coughlin there who is of course the defence editor and chief foreign affairs columnist at the telegraph . i'm going to at the telegraph. i'm going to be having a look at the situation in a bit closer to home as well. what for home as well. what situation for jews streets of jews like on the streets of britain at the moment? are we going to have nights of violence across when comes to across the uk when it comes to this of jihad and this global day ofjihad and what's in france? an
3:31 pm

3:34 pm
territory. of course , the territory. of course, the blockade of gaza continues and the time frame for people to get out of gaza before a long anticipated ground invasion . the anticipated ground invasion. the clock is ticking. very much so . clock is ticking. very much so. so that's the latest. we'll bnng so that's the latest. we'll bring you up to date, of course, with any more developments as we can see explosions can actually see explosions taking before our eyes taking place before our eyes there, that again, there, can't we? that is, again, there, can't we? that is, again, the lebanon in the border between lebanon in and israel , as the israelis and israel, as the israelis confirm that they are firing artillery into that region. there to try to fend off as they say, any way, some form of attack. look, the prime minister, rishi sunak , has been minister, rishi sunak, has been attending the joint expeditionary force summit of northern european countries in sweden today. it comes as the pm's polling hits a record low after labour leader sir keir starmer moschino speech at labour conference shot his party to a double digit lead over the tories. so no conference bounce for sunak. but it very much getting glittered has done starmer some favours with us now
3:35 pm
is olivia utley gb news political correspondent , sir political correspondent, sir olivia yeah, let's deal with that. olivia yeah, let's deal with that . first olivia yeah, let's deal with that. first things olivia yeah, let's deal with that . first things first, then. that. first things first, then. so sunak is in sweden. what's going on? israel and the middle east. top of the agenda. is it? >> yes. so we were expecting this joint expeditionary meeting as it's called, to be, about the situation in russia and ukraine. it's a meeting between rishi sunak and ten other northern european leaders. they were supposed to be talking about energy security, about strengthening some energy partnerships in the hope that these countries can become less reliant on russia for energy. but of course , as you say, the but of course, as you say, the middle east has ended up dominating the agenda. the lines coming out of that meeting this morning all of morning are all that all of these countries stand steadfastly israel. but steadfastly behind israel. but there is just a little note of caution creeping in. we've heard both rishi sunak and james cleverly along with anthony blinken, the us , the us blinken, the us, the us secretary of state, and emmanuel macron, all saying that yes , we macron, all saying that yes, we are all completely behind
3:36 pm
israel, but we must be we must make sure we are just. and there is a warning that israel should be allowing ordinary palestinians to escape before any sort of ground attack takes place, as we are now expecting it to . but the message it to. but the message definitely is still that these countries, along with pretty much everyone in the western world, is standing behind israel now. >> indeed. and look, just from a purely domestic situation , rishi purely domestic situation, rishi sunakin purely domestic situation, rishi sunak in the polls, there was no conference bounce for him. there does appear to have been a conference bounce for keir starmer, especially after he fended off a glow bearing idiot . fended off a glow bearing idiot. >> yeah, absolutely. i think the glitter bombing of keir starmer at conference is probably the best possible thing that could have happened to the labour leader. looked very brave leader. he looked very brave really, in dealing with it in the calm way that he did. and actually the glitter looked rather good. i meanwhile, rishi sunak had no conference bounce
3:37 pm
at all. it'll be really interesting to see how the conservatives respond to that in west westminster at the moment, speculation is that the election will be held next september, in about a year from now, on the grounds that rishi sunak is hoping that inflation often settles down over the beginning of next year and that interest rates begin to go down, and that by this time next year, mortgage holders will a better holders will be in a better situation might more situation and might be more willing vote. conservative situation and might be more willi that vote. conservative situation and might be more willi that the:e. conservative situation and might be more willi that the conservativese situation and might be more willi that the conservatives just now that the conservatives just simply seem to be sort of tanking in the polls, it gets worse week after week. it might be that rishi sunak decides to hold an election sooner. so a spnng hold an election sooner. so a spring election in in april or may possibly thinking that, well , things can't get any worse. and course, we're expecting , things can't get any worse. and elections we're expecting , things can't get any worse. and elections iny're expecting , things can't get any worse. and elections in may. lpecting , things can't get any worse. and elections in may. anding , things can't get any worse. and elections in may. and if] local elections in may. and if the conservatives get absolutely trounced there, then it seems quite likely the election quite likely that the election is cares for the taking. so i wonder whether rishi sunak will respond to these polls in the coming days or whether he's going to hold his nerve and stick to the september election .
3:38 pm
stick to the september election. >> okay, olivia, look , thank you >> okay, olivia, look, thank you very, very much. that's olivia utley there, who's gb news political correspondent from our studios there. studios in westminster there. and i just wanted to bring you up to date with some incidents that are continuing to take place now on that lebanese border with israel . some quite border with israel. some quite concerning images coming out, appearing to show supporters of palestine as opposed whether it's hamas or or hezbollah, we can't really tell at this particular stage. but supposedly trying to gain an access into israel . the shots that you're israel. the shots that you're looking at now are israel vehemently launching a volley of artillery into that area , saying artillery into that area, saying that they are defending it from an incursion which would tie in, which would chime in with this idea that there were people trying to cross that border . and trying to cross that border. and it is part of a so called day of jihad where the former leader of hamas, which is in case anybody needs reminding a designated
3:39 pm
terror group coming out and calling for the muslim world, the arab to world unite. we then saw concerning scenes in yemen with thousands of people taking to the streets, people with guns and all of that going on. similar scenes in jordan as well. we've heard reports of action like that in iraq, in iran , in in bangladesh. but action like that in iraq, in iran , in in bangladesh . but in iran, in in bangladesh. but in europe, there was also a slight concern because there was a teacher who has been killed and several other people injured dunng several other people injured during a knife attack at a school in france . now, the school in france. now, the knifeman was recorded appearing to shout the words allahu akbar as well. and that, of course , as well. and that, of course, did come as hamas called for a global day of jihad. so there we go. we will bring you the latest on the ongoing conflict in israel. plus, we will turn to france . as i was saying, france. as i was saying, a stabbing occurred allegedly , the stabbing occurred allegedly, the
3:40 pm
perpetrator shouting allahu akbar. we'll get the latest on the situation there with somebody who is on the ground. so more on that front stabbing coming. your in just a few coming. your way in just a few moments. time patrick christys. this we are
3:41 pm
3:42 pm
3:43 pm
news britain's news channel . news britain's news channel. >> welcome back of course to four. you're watching or listening to me patrick christys on gb news. now as the israel—hamas war escalates , we israel—hamas war escalates, we will, of course, bring you the very as we get right
3:44 pm
very latest as we get it right here on gb news. so don't go anywhere. we've got cameras set up anywhere. we've got cameras set up shots from gaza, up taking shots from gaza, taking shots from various different parts of israel, including tel aviv, and that border with lebanon , where border with lebanon, where explosions have just been heard, but closer to us here in europe , but closer to us here in europe, a teacher has been killed and another two people have been seriously injured in a knife attack at a school in france. according to witnesses , the according to witnesses, the attacker shouted allahu akbar , attacker shouted allahu akbar, which means god is greatest. dunng which means god is greatest. during the attack . now, french during the attack. now, french media reports say that he was a former pupil at the school this does come in light of a former hamas leader calling for a day of jihad, hamas leader calling for a day ofjihad, a day of global jihad. it's worth noting that yesterday in france , french authorities in france, french authorities told us any pro palestine or pro hamas protesters that their protests would be illegal because it breached the peace.
3:45 pm
when those protests took place. anyway, this is how the police responded. if you're watching us on or online, they got the on tv or online, they got the kind smoke out. they kind of smoke grenades out. they got out, they kind of smoke grenades out. they got the out, they kind of smoke grenades out. they got the riot out, they kind of smoke grenades out. they got the riot police out, they kind of smoke grenades out. they got the riot police out out, they kind of smoke grenades out. they got the riot police out straightey got the riot police out straight away streets. then, of away on the streets. then, of course, today we end up with a situation where at a school, a teacher is stabbed to death by somebody believed to a former somebody believed to be a former pupil, the way, pupil, somebody, by the way, who, according to reuters, was on a state watch list of people known as a potential security risk. that's according to a police source there. and apparently they being apparently they were being monitored, apparently 20 years old and had been in france since 2008. joining us now for more information is paris based journalist david chazan. david, thank you very, very much. what are aware of the situation are we aware of the situation involving a stabbing, an individual shouting allahu akbar and then supposedly killing a teacher ? yeah, yeah . teacher? yeah, yeah. >> i mean, we know that one teacher is dead. >> two other people are seriously injured . one of them seriously injured. one of them has been identified as a pe teacher, and the other one is a canteen worker who is critically
3:46 pm
injured . they're both in injured. they're both in hospital and the attacker has been arrested , ed, and so has been arrested, ed, and so has his brother, who was arrested near another school along with a third suspect near yet another school. and all three were on the terror watch list. so they were known to the authorities. they'd been flagged up as potential al terrorists and so a lot of questions are now going to be asked about how one of them was able to walk into a school armed with at least two knives when he was a known terror suspect that he had been on the terror watch list for 11 days. so police really did suspect that this was somebody who was about to launch an attack. his phone had been tapped and he had been followed. and it's emerged from a source close to the investigation that police actually spoke to him yesterday day but did not arrest
3:47 pm
him. >> right. i mean, it is absolutely staggering then, that we had three arrests potentially . three schools from three people on a terror watch list in france . as i understand it, france. as i understand it, people are still being told to avoid the arhus city centre concerns that there may be other incidents at play and it's impossible to ignore the fact. david, i think that this does come, you know, 24 hours after the former leader of hamas was saying that there should be some kind of global day of jihad. i kind of global day ofjihad. i mean, how is france bearing up to this at the moment? >> well, france is on tenterhooks , as many other tenterhooks, as many other people are in the government sort of stepped up security at all schools throughout france after this attack. >> jewish schools had already been given special protection. but i think there's something
3:48 pm
else very significant about this attack, because it comes three days before the third anniversary of the beheading of anniversary of the beheading of a paris teacher who had showed his pupils controversial caricatures of the prophet muhammad. >> now his killer, who was shot dead by police shortly after the attack , was like the suspected attack, was like the suspected attacker arrested today of chechen origin. >> and both of their families had immigrated to france from russia . russia. >> and so many people here in france are making that link between on the anniversary of the beheading of the teacher, samuel paty. >> and today this attack and it's revived terrible memories for a lot of people of the string of terror attacks that shook france starting in 2015. the worst , of course, was the worst, of course, was a terrible night of coordinated attacks on the bataclan music
3:49 pm
venue. >> bars and restaurant and the national stadium that left 130 people dead . people dead. >> absolutely. david, thank you very, very much . i know that very, very much. i know that you're you're in paris, i believe, at the moment. and potentially gearing up for another night of activity, shall we say , in paris. i know that we say, in paris. i know that over here in the uk, many people are fearful that we're going to end potentially some end up seeing potentially some unsavoury scenes, protest demonstrations . and how are demonstrations. and how are police respond to it tends to be very different to how the french police respond to it. you guys were very quick over there to say that these protests will be banned threat banned because they are a threat to public and then the to public order and then the police get the water police tend to get the water cannons and the batons and cannons and the batons out and they grenades out. they smoke grenades out. don't they? prepared for they? are you prepared for something similar this evening? do think, paris ? well do you think, in paris? well we'll have to see. >> last night there was a pro—palestine demonstration flouting the ban that had been
3:50 pm
announced hours earlier, and police charged in with tear gas and water cannon . as you say, and water cannon. as you say, the french tend to send in heavily armoured riot police and they don't hesitate to use tear gas and water cannon to break up protests and they send the police in in very large numbers. >> so we will see the police are on alert across the country tonight . tonight. >> right. in case there are further pro—palestinian demonstrations which have been banned on the grounds that the government considers there a potential threat to public order. absolutely >> look, david, will you make sure you take care. and thank you very much for coming on and explaining what's going on in france moment. david france at the moment. it's david chazan a paris chazan there, who's a paris based talking about based journalist talking about the situation possibly about to take paris tonight. take place in paris tonight. definitely take in definitely did take place in paris night. way paris last night. and the way that french police are that the french police are handung that the french police are handling also crucially, that the french police are han(a ng also crucially, that the french police are han(a teacher also crucially, that the french police are han(a teacher hasso crucially, that the french police are han(a teacher hasso crustabbed that a teacher has been stabbed to the french city of to death in the french city of arras after a man shouting allahu akbar attacked him with a
3:51 pm
knife. two of the people arrested, all of whom believed to have been on a terror watch list and potentially, as well, are russian born chechens who we think came to france in around 2008. rockets sirens are sounding in tel aviv at the moment. this follows israeli orders for more than 1 million gazan residents to flee southward in just 24 hours by israel. that deadline is looming close. charities on the ground say the request is impossible. the un says it can't be done without devastating consequence . without devastating consequence. his people in gaza are now being caught israel telling caught between israel telling them to move and what is almost definitely going to come in terms of a ground incursion, there , hamas saying don't there, and hamas saying don't respond, you need to stay where you are. so israel's bombarding out of the gaza strip does continue and the prime minister of israel has warned that difficult days are ahead as he swears in a new war. cabinet the country's top general admits that military failed to that the military has failed to protect citizens . and that
3:52 pm
protect its citizens. and that clearly coming line clearly is coming down the line after dust here. if after the dust settles here. if the settles here. let's the dust settles here. let's go live shall we? there we live to gaza, shall we? there we go. so this is the scene in gaza at the moment where citizens are being told to leave. we can see a little bit of smoke in the distance. israelis are massing on the border. the israel military is massing on the border there as well . i believe border there as well. i believe that we can also show you footage of the lebanon border with israel . we can. so earlier with israel. we can. so earlier on, i was saying to you that there was supposedly some kind of attempted incursion from lebanon into to israel. that is alma al shihab. and smoke is rising from that area by the lebanese israeli border. the israeli military said that it was firing artillery into lebanon in response to a suspected armed infiltrate action so that we go that's what's taking place there at the moment. we are going to take you all around the world as well a little bit later on. a reminder that we are supposedly going to see pro—israeli demonstration
3:53 pm
see a pro—israeli demonstration in comes after in washington that comes after a pro hamas demonstration at washington university city. and we're also going to go to italy, where supposedly we're going to see a demonstration taking place there at. and we may well be heanng there at. and we may well be hearing from secretary of state antony blinken, who is in doha at the moment. he is due. we think anyway, to give a statement, give an address on the current state of the israel—gaza conflict and what's going on in the middle east as well, because we saw huge demonstrations in yemen. and i know that many people fear that something is going to spill over here on the streets of britain as we be to as well. we will be going to golders green, which is a predominantly jewish area where we're to be asking we're also going to be asking whether safe in whether or not jews are safe in this country as it currently stands. as ever, get in touch with your thoughts. email me gb views and gbnews.com. i'll go to the inbox very, very shortly. i'm patrick christys . this is gb i'm patrick christys. this is gb news. and we are, of course, britain's channel. stay

4:07 pm
the gaza strip continues. and in fact, in the last few moments, we brought you some footage of explosions taking place in in gaza. israel prime minister is saying that there's difficult days ahead. he's swearing his days ahead. he's swearing in his new cabinet. the country's new war cabinet. the country's top general admits the top general admits that the military to protect top general admits that the miicitizens to protect top general admits that the miicitizens is to protect top general admits that the miicitizens is now to protect top general admits that the miicitizens is now very rotect top general admits that the miicitizens is now very shortly its citizens is now very shortly . he i am due to be talking to some people who have relatives who have been taken hostage by hamas and are still being held hostage there. so i'm going to go to that shortly . but before go to that shortly. but before that, i'm going to speak to gb news reporter charlie peters, who's live in tel aviv for us now. charlie, what's going on? >> so in the last half hour, we've had reports of the idf responding to attacks in southern lebanon with more artillery fire. we do know that they have tank artillery up there, which has been extremely busy in the last 72 hours. but israel has been on the receiving end of rocket attacks again in
4:08 pm
the south. explosions is heard some 10 to 20km east of the gaza strip. and that really reflects the several fronts that this war is happening on israel is defending its borders from several directions in the north, repelling attacks from southern lebanon and from syria. there has also been shelling and mortar fire in the south. it's believed that the southern israel portion of the country has now been secured insofar as there are no reports of terrorists operating in the area . as late as yesterday, the working assumption was that there is a realistic possibility that terrorists had gone to ground and were still capable of committing atrocities . several committing atrocities. several more were arrested yesterday dunng more were arrested yesterday during those events . but even during those events. but even without active terrorists being reported in the last 24 hours, there are still reports of rockets. they come in thick and fast. rockets. they come in thick and fast . the barrages are fast. the barrages are relentless in southern israel, ashkelon and ashdod receiving attacks. most of the rockets

4:19 pm
spike, a considerable spike, an additional 650 incidents, not all crimes , but but incidents all crimes, but but incidents that the met have released those figures today say anti—semitic incidents, isn't it? >> yes , indeed. >> yes, indeed. >> yes, indeed. >> and of course, london is a global city. there are people here from every corner of the planet. >> unfortunately , because of our >> unfortunately, because of our appalling immigration record of late, there are people living in this country , living in this this country, living in this city who we simply do not know who they are. we do not know what their intentions are. >> we don't know where they live and don't their and we don't know their backgrounds . backgrounds. >> a fact. and of course, >> that's a fact. and of course, will some of these people who perhaps have bad intentions and support terror organisations will they spill out onto the streets tonight to essentially turn what might be peaceful protest into disruptive process ? protest into disruptive process? >> i hope not, but we'll have to wait and see. >> okay. all right. so at what
4:20 pm
point would you like to see the police swoop in? i suppose because it's all very well and good sitting back, isn't it? but if we end up with people driving around in their cars with around london in their cars with whatever flags they've got, whatever flags that they've got, shouting, abuse at people, whatever flags that they've got, shoutin massing at people, whatever flags that they've got, shoutin massing at an ople, whatever flags that they've got, shoutin massing at an israeli people massing at an israeli embassy , example, know, embassy, for example, you know, i there's to going some i think there's to going be some demonstrations i think there's to going be some dmean,trations i think there's to going be some dmean, at:ions i think there's to going be some dmean, at what point is it the i mean, at what point is it the right point for the police to start making start going in and making arrests? suppose the arrests? because i suppose the downside of that is that could make it kick off even more, couldn't it? >> recent policing >> well, recent policing has decided, with some decided, and i think with some justification here, that at many types of protests , it's it is types of protests, it's it is actually better for to gather the evidence , to film these the evidence, to film these people, to get their faces on camera as they're committing their disruptive or their criminal acts , and then later criminal acts, and then later identifying them and giving them a knock on the door sometimes aftennards because cause it can be very difficult with substantial crowds of people to form a snatch squad, for want of
4:21 pm
a better expression , to kind of a better expression, to kind of drive a corridor where officers can go in to amassing disruptive crowd and drag people out . crowd and drag people out. >> yeah, that in the past has proved to be very problematic . proved to be very problematic. >> so the police often gather the evidence and make arrests after was the met police here and possibly other police forces around the country if protests crop up in other cities are going to have to walk a very, very difficult tightrope here. and in many regards, they have my sympathy rest assured, the tsg , the territorial support tsg, the territorial support group , are primed, are ready , group, are primed, are ready, will be just around the corner there. public order kit , there. public order kit, othennise known as the riot kit , othennise known as the riot kit, the shields, the helmets , the the shields, the helmets, the visors, the protective clothing that will all be at the ready and it will be deployed if senior officers go, enough is enough. senior officers go, enough is enough . this has to be quelled.
4:22 pm
enough. this has to be quelled. >> okay , peter, thank you very, >> okay, peter, thank you very, very much. peter bleksley, that former met detective, just looking ahead to scenes that we hope don't happen this evening around the uk, but footage has emerged of two women taking taking down posters of children kidnapped by hamas in london. i will be speaking very shortly to the student who filmed this incident who now fears for her faith after receiving verbal abuse. you will not want to miss that. i'll be speaking to the lady who filmed that incident. patrick christie's gb news britain's news

4:24 pm
4:25 pm
4:26 pm
isabel monday to thursdays from. six till 930 . six till 930. >> shocking footage emerged of two women tearing down posters of innocent israeli children taken hostage by hamas with one of the women shouting, this is for palestine. this footage went viral yesterday , didn't it? viral yesterday, didn't it? there we go. we can see it happening right now. well, the british woman who filmed british israeli woman who filmed the encounter has revealed she received verbal abuse while putting the flyers up in north london. nita fabish fled israel for britain just days ago, but is now scared to show her jewish faith in public. joining me now is the student who filmed that very incident, the lady i was talking about there, nita fabish .thank talking about there, nita fabish . thank you very much for joining me . . thank you very much for joining me. how are you ? joining me. how are you? >> i'm okay. okay it's can be.
4:27 pm
yeah >> okay. could you just talk me through what happened then? so these posters were put up and what did the posters show and then what went on after that ? then what went on after that? >> so essentially they were flyers which showed pictures of hostages which had been kidnapped by hamas , including kidnapped by hamas, including babies , boys as young as several babies, boys as young as several months old, and elderly people essentially innocent civilians. and what we did is basically follow an initiative which started in new york, which involves , um, basically hanging involves, um, basically hanging up these flyers around london 1 to 1 race awareness and increase international pressure to try and free these hostages and to gain international recognition of hamas as a terrorist organisation . and organisation. and >> yeah. and then and then talk with you talk me through what happened then. so, so then so then these ladies turned up. did
4:28 pm
they . they. >> yes. so we each got assigned an area. there were approximately 42 areas around london. i was assigned to mornington crescent and i was hanging up the flyers and after several different incidents , several different incidents, including ones which i didn't catch on camera , uh, three catch on camera, uh, three people i didn't manage to catch all three of them in the video came and they started tearing down the leaflets. one of them came up to me. he stuck his middle finger up at me whilst shouting free palestine. um very aggressively. and then i saw somebody else, an onlooker , somebody else, an onlooker, filming. so i quickly got my phone out and filmed the second half of the incident, which is what you can see in the in the video. okay >> so yeah, talk to me a little bit more about the things that you didn't manage to get on camera then. so you were aggressively were aggressively approached. were you and did this happen quite quickly? and can you just tell me how that made you feel? because we do live in a free country. do live a
4:29 pm
country. we do live in a multicultural country and we do live in a kind of country where you to flyers you should be able to put flyers up without being up without immediately being abused like that . abused like that. >> so when we were given guidelines on hanging up the flyers, we were given several safety tips , including only safety tips, including only hanging up the flyers in groups and i was waiting for my parents to join me, but i decided to start leafleting anyway, and i was a bit stressed, so i folded the flyers over and i was following the guidelines of just not making eye contact and quickly doing it. but obviously you get attention whilst you still get attention whilst you're doing it because people are curious what you're hanging up. man approached me and up. so a man approached me and he hanging up. he asked me what was hanging up. he the leaflet he he read the leaflet and he started shouting me that this is karma for the jewish people. they've gotten what they've deserved, that people have brought this upon themselves and didn't engage because i was by myself. and also so i've been in israel this week and i managed to get back two days ago and i
4:30 pm
just didn't have the emotional capacity to deal with the interaction . and aftennards my interaction. and aftennards my mum joined me and we started flowering over the tube station at and that's when the three people came up, which started with one of them putting his middle finger up at me and getting very near me. and yeah, okay. >> and how do you feel about about walking the streets now or visibly demonstrating your faith ? i don't know. i can't really quite make out. i mean, if there's some kind of necklace there's some kind of necklace there with with a with a jewish symbol on it. i don't know if that's what that is. but, you know, i know i know people personally who have decided to take those off today for example. are feeling example. so how are you feeling about example. so how are you feeling aboso i'm not currently wearing >> so i'm not currently wearing anything which visually distinguishes me as jewish, but obviously inherent it's a very stressful situation because
4:31 pm
we're talking about sympathy for a terrorist organisation , which a terrorist organisation, which is basically sympathy for extremist fundamentalist actions. um it's a lack of compassion for war crimes and crimes against humanity which have been committed against innocent civilians and an intolerance to accept the aspect that the fact that this conflict is immensely two sided. and if you're an advocate for human rights, then you are knowledgeable of the fact that both sides have legitimacy and it's just stressful. it's stressful to be around people who put their hatred for a specific group of people above of their own moral compass and their own rational political views . i don't understand how views. i don't understand how putting up pictures of innocent children and elderly people who have been not only murdered and kidnapped, but also tortured in just atrocious ways. i don't understand how that harms the
4:32 pm
free palestine movement. i i it's beyond my understanding thing. i just think the hatred is above people's own ability to rationally understand the situation . situation. >> can i just ask you quickly , >> can i just ask you quickly, final question. we've heard calls for this. what ever this means is global day of jihad and means is global day ofjihad and stuff and we've seen demonstrations in london recently and other parts of the uk. why what are you and your family and your community feeling like as tonight approaches, will you be going out? >> um , we have plans to take >> um, we have plans to take part in several initiatives which are helping people who are trying to currently escape from israel. so we will be doing that . um, but um, it's obviously extremely stressful. there are jewish schools who are not opening until monday because
4:33 pm
they're worried about the situation. we when i stepped off the plane on, um, when i landed, ilanded the plane on, um, when i landed, i landed on a flight back from israel and i got i got given a flyer, which is from the met police, which is basically tips on how to cope with , um, on how to cope with, um, terrorist attacks and also met police officers were there to provide support for people who were returning and also people in the uk who are worried about any upcoming terrorist attacks. the cst , which is an the cst, which is an organisation which is essentially works closely with the police in order to um , the police in order to um, address anti semitism in the uk is on increased surveillance . is on increased surveillance. and yeah , look, thank you for and yeah, look, thank you for coming and talking to us and having the bravery to put yourself fonnard like this as well. >> good luck. all the best to you and your family. and i do hope to talk to you again very, very soon. on anita fibich's remarkable, isn't it, being given leaflet about how to given a leaflet about how to deal a terror attack in deal with a terror attack in
4:34 pm
this but here we this country? but here we go, loads more thoughts between loads more thoughts come between now despite the now and 5:00. despite the uk condemning the controversial rwanda , it seem as rwanda scheme, it does seem as though united nations have though the united nations have taken matters into their own hands. not, they hands. believe it or not, they are send refugees are continuing to send refugees to rwanda . but they said this to rwanda. but they said this was little bit too dangerous. was a little bit too dangerous. don't one. but first, don't miss that one. but first, a bit later a little bit later than anticipated headlines anticipated is your headlines with . aaron it is 434. with. aaron it is 434. >> i'm aaron armstrong in the newsroom. thousand of palestinians are fleeing northern gaza having been told to head south by the israeli defence forces if they want to live. it is as a ground invasion looks increased hinckley imminent in gaza. looks increased hinckley imminent in gaza . meanwhile, the imminent in gaza. meanwhile, the eu chief ursula von der leyen arrived in tel aviv earlier to show solidarity with the israeli people . her meeting, though, people. her meeting, though, with the israeli president isaac herzog, was interrupted by air raid sirens. meanwhile the us secretary of defence, lloyd austin , says washington's austin, says washington's support for israel remains
4:35 pm
ironclad . clashes have erupted ironclad. clashes have erupted in the west bank following solidarity protests . israel is solidarity protests. israel is amassing tanks and soldiers near the gaza strip border . as we the gaza strip border. as we mentioned, that ground invasion looking increasingly likely . but looking increasingly likely. but tensions also building on the northern border with lebanon, where smoke has been spotted . where smoke has been spotted. idf, that's the israeli defence force troops, they're on alert there after the hezbollah terror group said it would ignore calls for it to stay out of the conflict between hamas and israel . president macron of israel. president macron of france says a knife attack on a school in the northern city of arras was the result of barbaric islamist terrorism. the fatal stabbing left one teacher dead and two others injured. macron added that police had helped foil another attempt at attack elsewhere in france . more on all elsewhere in france. more on all of our stories on our website. thatis of our stories on our website. that is gbnews.com .
4:36 pm
that is gb news.com. that is gbnews.com. well come back. >> okay. so potentially quite soon. anyway, we are expecting secretary of state antony blinken, who is giving an address in doha in relation to the ongoing situation with israel , gaza the ongoing situation with israel, gaza and the ongoing situation with israel , gaza and frankly the israel, gaza and frankly the world now. so we might throw to that in a few moments time. so keep your eyes peeled for that and that will be massive. really because that was probably going to america going because that was probably going to respond america going because that was probably going to respond this|erica going because that was probably going to respond this|ericicontinue|g to respond to this and continue to respond to this and continue to it. going fonnard. to respond to it. going fonnard. we've seen demonstrations in yemen. demonstrations yemen. we've seen demonstrations in conflict in jordan. we've seen conflict on that lebanese border with israel . we are seeing explosions israel. we are seeing explosions taking place on gaza strip. taking place on the gaza strip. we evacuation we are seeing an evacuation attempt from in attempt from gaza in a potentially imminent israeli incursion into the gaza. so yes, we should be hearing the american angle on this very shortly, which i think will be important, won't it? but despite
4:37 pm
condemning the uk's rwanda scheme , it seems that the united scheme, it seems that the united nafions scheme, it seems that the united nations may have been copying our homework. so the un is continuing to send refugees to rwanda despite telling the uk the country is far too dangerous for channel migrants figures show the organisation has sent 1737 refugees to rwanda since 2019, including 134 just for months ago. so whilst they are telling us that we can't send them there because it's too dangerous, they are literally sending 134 people. this is part of course, it's its flagship emergency transit mechanism. joining me now is former chief immigration officer of the uk border force, kevin saunders. kevin, thank you very much. does this not just make a mockery of all of the criticism of our rwanda scheme the united all of the criticism of our rwanda sayinge the united all of the criticism of our rwanda saying you1e united all of the criticism of our rwanda saying you can'tited nations saying you can't possibly that. meanwhile, possibly do that. meanwhile, they are doing it right? >> it is absolutely >> yes, it is absolutely doublespeak, isn't it? >> and i would imagine that the justices that the supreme court will have paid attention to that
4:38 pm

4:42 pm
right here on gb news. but we can see as night is falling flashes in the background. we've seen a couple of large explosions the last few explosions in the last few moments, but there are other live shots as well coming to us from around israel. we had ashkelon before as well. now, this is where ashkelon is right now . so ashkelon again, night now. so ashkelon again, night falling there, clearly. but this was the scene of fierce rocket fire from gaza earlier on. the iron dome working overtime. apparently, 90% of rockets were stopped. we can go now to hear from secretary of state, us secretary of state antony blinken, who is beginning his speech in doha alongside the qatari dignitaries , a very close qatari dignitaries, a very close partner to the united states on a broad range of issues that are crucial to both of our countries and to this region. >> we're working together on evacuating americans , afghans evacuating americans, afghans and others from afghanistan , the and others from afghanistan, the cooperating very closely in responding to humanitarian

4:44 pm
by hamas. there anguish is profound . profound. >> they're desperate to bring their loved ones home. >> we are working urgently on that effort , doing that with that effort, doing that with qatar and we're doing that with allies and partners across the region as israel continues to respond to hamas's devastating attacks, the united states will ensure that it has what it needs to defend its secretary of defence, austin was in israel today doing just that, working closely with the israelis to make sure that we're providing them what they need and we'll be able to do that on an ongoing basis. at the same time , we're basis. at the same time, we're in constant communication with israeli officials and with multilateral and international organisations , humanitarian organisations, humanitarian organisations, humanitarian organisations, including the united nations agencies, including the icrc , to get aid including the icrc, to get aid to civilians in gaza. as i said yesterday in tel aviv, israel has the right indeed it has the obugafion has the right indeed it has the obligation to defend its people
4:45 pm
and try to ensure that hamas can never repeat what it's done . we never repeat what it's done. we continue to discuss with israel the importance of taking every possible precaution to avoid harming civilians . we recognise harming civilians. we recognise many palestinian families in gaza are suffering through no fault of their own and the palestinian civilians have lost their lives . we mourn the loss their lives. we mourn the loss of every innocent life israeli , of every innocent life israeli, palestinian, jew , christian, palestinian, jew, christian, muslim , as well as civilians of muslim, as well as civilians of every faith and every nationality been killed . let's nationality been killed. let's not lose sight of why this is happening . israel is conducting happening. israel is conducting operations in gaza because hamas carried out terrorist attacks that killed in the most horrific ways 1300 of its people . hamas ways 1300 of its people. hamas terrorists slaughtered , raped, terrorists slaughtered, raped, mutilated , killed, tortured, mutilated, killed, tortured, burned , innocent civilians ,
4:46 pm
burned, innocent civilians, babies to the elderly, men , babies to the elderly, men, women, boys and girls . now, women, boys and girls. now, efforts to get humanitarian aid into gaza are complicated by the fact that moscow continues to use innocent civilians as human shields and is reportedly blocking roads to prevent palestinians from moving to the southern gaza out of harm's way. we know the humanitarian situation is urgent . we're situation is urgent. we're actively engaged with partners , actively engaged with partners, including qatar , to get aid to including qatar, to get aid to those who need it . your those who need it. your excellency, thank you again for today's very, very good discussions and for all the work that our countries have done together. thank you . together. thank you. >> after . okay, so that was >> after. okay, so that was anthony blinken there, the us secretary of state. >> he's talking in doha in qatar

4:48 pm
human shields in order to try to prevent israeli attacks whilst he was saying that a series of explosions did take place in gaza, i know it's difficult to make out because it's night time there in gaza at the moment, but you can see, i think, just about several of smoke rising several plumes of smoke rising above that gaza skyline. there we go. more explosions taking place as we talk the bombardment of gaza by the israelis is stepping up a notch. the time frame given to the people of gaza to get out before a widely anticipated ground incursion is running out. and we think that it's only got a couple of hours left potentially. so we're going to see a lot of action in gaza very, very shortly. we're also going to be seeing action from the other side of israel as well by by the lebanese border. those explosions continuing right now in gaza. we'll bring you the very latest on that ongoing conflict, including the reaction from back home here as well.
4:49 pm
patrick christys on gb news. this is britain's news channel.
4:50 pm
4:51 pm
4:52 pm
is what we are striking at. gb news. >> welcome back . patrick >> welcome back. patrick christys here on gb news. and we're just going to go live back now to the us secretary of state anthony blinken, who has been talking in doha . he's alongside, talking in doha. he's alongside, as you can tell, the qatari prime minister and the foreign minister. i just want to emphasise a couple of the things that he said there. he said that israel, of course, has the right to itself. he says that to defend itself. he says that he evidence hamas he has seen evidence that hamas have tortured, raped, mutilated and burned people in israel. a very concerned about the ongoing hostage situation . and as he was hostage situation. and as he was talking, israel continued bombardment out in gaza , which bombardment out in gaza, which i'm hoping we'll be able to bnng i'm hoping we'll be able to bring you some shots of gaza very shortly, where a series of explosions were taking place. we are expecting there to be a ground invasion , an potentially ground invasion, an potentially very , very soon. but look closer
4:53 pm
very, very soon. but look closer to home, a rabbi working on a football association, faith group. those are images of gaza now for you, by the way. we're going to leave those on the screen, but football association faith group has resigned over the governing body's response to the governing body's response to the hamas attacks on israeli citizens last weekend. alex goldberg told the fa that he was profoundly disappointed that there were no plans for a specific tribute to the victims of these attacks . the body's of these attacks. the body's refusal to light up the wembley arch in the israeli flag colours ahead of the friendly between england and australia tonight was criticised by the was also criticised by the government's independent adviser on anti semitism . i'm joined now on anti semitism. i'm joined now by a friend of rabbi alex goldberg who did resign, of course from the fa faith group. richard ferrier, who is the editor of the jewish news. richard, thank you very, very much. and so do you think it is
4:54 pm
a disgrace that the wembley arch will not be lit up in the israeli colours ? israeli colours? >> look , i'll come to the fa >> look, i'll come to the fa decision in a second, but may i just begin by saying that what is happening in israel and in gazais is happening in israel and in gaza is horrific on a scale that none of us thankfully can imagine. there are victims on both sides living through hell . both sides living through hell. i know as a member of the jewish community that my community, my family and my colleagues have never known a time like it. >> it's the darkest week of our lives. >> israel's reaction has been furious . furious. >> it has been furious in a way that i would be furious if someone had raped my child to death. that's how furious they are. >> so with that said, perhaps i'm naive to think that the fa would would feel that that they would would feel that that they would and they have routinely lit up the wembley arch for pretty much every good cause i
4:55 pm
can think of. >> ever since the new wembley stadium was built, what, ten, 15 years honestly , truly years ago. i honestly, truly thought, most in thought, as did most jews in this community, i think that they character they would show moral character to fans, jewish to show football fans, jewish football fans like me, some compassion . ian um, well, now compassion. ian um, well, now the fa has revealed its moral character here. it's pretty dark and ugly . and ugly. >> it should obviously be doing it. i mean, there is a precedent. we've had the lgbtq+ flag, we've had the french flag, we've had the turkish flag is cowardice, isn't it? >> well , they've got vested >> well, they've got vested interests , of course. you know, interests, of course. you know, we're not naive . and don't get we're not naive. and don't get me started on the moral backbone of football. i mean, for one thing, what what's the country that hosted the 2022 world cup final? it just happens to be the same country that's currently shielding the hamas leaders who brutalised all those people in qatar. um, that tells you everything you need to know about world football. patrick look, not since the holocaust have jews been slaughtered in
4:56 pm
such numbers. i just wonder, would wembley have been lit up had it had an arch in 1945 in, in honour of the 6 million jews or would or would the fa have equivocated to avoid alienating its german sponsors? that's that's the question i think a lot of jews are asking this evening. it is. >> look, richard, can i just ask you sorry about this, a fast moving picture here. could you just stay on line for me, just stay on the line for me, please? we're going to go back to doha qatar now, where to doha and qatar now, where where the us where anthony blinken, the us secretary talking. where anthony blinken, the us secrjusti talking. where anthony blinken, the us secrjust take talking. where anthony blinken, the us secrjust take bit talking. where anthony blinken, the us secrjust take bit more(ing. where anthony blinken, the us secrjust take bit more ofg. just just take a bit more of what saying. what he's saying. >> now is on helping >> our focus now is on helping to create safe zones, and we're doing that with the leading international organisations. >> engaged with >> we're doing that engaged with israel working with israel and we're working with other countries to that end. so that's where our focus is. we think is the best way to think this is the best way to make sure that civilians who are caughtin make sure that civilians who are caught in a crossfire , hamas, caught in a crossfire, hamas, megxit and be safe and receive the assistance that they need . the assistance that they need. thank you so our final question
4:57 pm
from bloomberg , mr secretary , i from bloomberg, mr secretary, i know the situation in israel is highly charged and very fluid, but are you worried about the medium and long term consequences of what's unfolding in gaza ? are you worried that in gaza? are you worried that israel may be simply retaliating in a fury because of the horrendous nature of these attacks and might not have a medium or long term plan and secondly, i'm wondering how worried are you about a second front in this war? >> iran and hezbollah have already made threats, opening this new front. if attacks on civilians and or an israeli blockade of gaza continues, what would the us response be if hezbollah ramps up its own attacks? >> for instance, in response to a ground invasion and sheikh mohammed , the us and israel are mohammed, the us and israel are both struggling with this tragic and fluid hostage situation that the secretary was talking about . the secretary was talking about. and i've looked for qatar to help navigate it. can you tell us about your engagements with hamas and are you optimistic
4:58 pm
about getting these people back alive, given reports that some of them may have already died in israeli strikes on gaza and secondly, there have been rising criticism and protests across the arab world as israel's retaliated continues. what's your view of how israel is conducting its military response ? and are you worried about the potential ? are you also worried potential? are you also worried about the potential for medium and long term consequences of what's happening? >> thank you , ian. >> thank you, ian. >> thank you, ian. >> thank you very much . first >> thank you very much. first part of the question . no country part of the question. no country , no country can tolerate having a terrorist group slaughter its people in the most unconscionable way. and live like that . like that. >> but israel is doing is not retaliation. >> what israel is doing is defending the lives of its people and as i said, trying to
4:59 pm
make sure that this cannot happen again . and i think any happen again. and i think any country faced with what israel has, has has suffered , would has, has has suffered, would likely do the same thing . likely do the same thing. imagine if this had happened in the united states . so that's the united states. so that's what is happening . what is happening. >> of course, you're it's important to think about as one might put it, the day after and where this goes. and i believe thatis where this goes. and i believe that is part of israel's thinking as well as our own and the thinking of many other countries in the region. because one thing is for sure , we can't one thing is for sure, we can't go back to the status quo that allowed this to happen in the first place. >> so . >> so. >> so. >> okay, so look, we are listening there a little bit anyway. to us. secretary of state antony blinken, the feed is not that good from doha at the moment. i'm going to go back to richard ferrer, who is the editor of the jewish news . look,
5:00 pm
editor of the jewish news. look, thank you. i don't know how much of managed to get, but of that you managed to get, but he asked about he was asked a question about about ability to get about the ability to get hostages back and whether or not the united states is doing anything to negotiate with hamas . what do you make of all of that? >> the i would hate to speculate. i only know the ghastly, gruesome truth of what hamas is, what it's capable of. and the reason that they took those people, the ground invasion, i would expect, is going to happen in the next 48 to 72 hours. the questions mean the task of moving all these people south is obviously impossible . and israel must must impossible. and israel must must clearly know that. as i said, the horrors that the palestinians are currently going through is absolutely unspeakable . but the fate of the unspeakable. but the fate of the hostage is i don't i don't want to say because i mean, we know we know what hamas is . we know we know what hamas is. we know what they've done. we know what they intend to do .
5:01 pm
they intend to do. >> yeah. i mean, i had quite a moving interview earlier on with a lady whose two young nieces are currently being held by hamas . and i just can't imagine hamas. and i just can't imagine what must be going through people's minds. i've what must be going through people's minds . i've got to ask people's minds. i've got to ask you this, richard . really, do you this, richard. really, do you this, richard. really, do you think it is proportionate for israel to raze gaza , which for israel to raze gaza, which may well be about to happen . may well be about to happen. what what is proportionate to baby beheading? >> yeah , i don't know. yeah. um, >> yeah, i don't know. yeah. um, look , i mean, we've been here look, i mean, we've been here many, many, many times before. we were here in 2014 when israel to use a colloquial term, cut the lawn. but obviously now the entire pitch needs to be ripped up . it's an impossible war up. it's an impossible war because it's very much the same sort of challenge that i think the allies faced in 1945 when it came to europe. they're going to have to d hamas fi the west
5:02 pm
bank. but quite frankly, how that's done because there are so many satellite countries within in the middle east, you know, there are so many sponsors. and then, of course, you've this then, of course, you've got this dark tehran. mean dark cloud of tehran. the mean hamas is basically an iranian militia . so and then, of course, militia. so and then, of course, you've got hezbollah in the north. this is a israelis hemmed in by despots , dictators and in by despots, dictators and people that don't want jews within their midst . people that don't want jews within their midst. and people that don't want jews within their midst . and yes, of within their midst. and yes, of course you can. you can blame israel for over reacting and being hotheaded . but as i said, being hotheaded. but as i said, when you asked me my first question, what is the reaction to your child being raped to death? fury anger, um , you know, death? fury anger, um, you know, who wouldn't die for their child ? >> yeah. yeah. no, look . >> yeah. yeah. no, look. absolutely. thank you very, very much for joining absolutely. thank you very, very much forjoining us and for much for joining us and for talking to us today here on gb news. and, you know, hopefully you and your family and everyone can stay safe tonight. i know that there's potentially quite a difficult days ahead, difficult few days ahead, believe well in

only light that we could see around the gaza area was the very visible light of explosions. what's the latest . explosions. what's the latest. >> well, sunset on friday night in israel means it is now shabbat night. the jewish day of rest in the week. but there will be no rest across israel tonight. whether you are palestinian or israeli , because palestinian or israeli, because the fighting will continue late into the night in the northern regions. there will almost certainly be continued skirmishes between lebanese, the lebanese , hezbollah and the idf lebanese, hezbollah and the idf forces up there. there are also realistic possibility of more shelling coming in from syria after those dramatic airstrikes on the international airports within syria. but the main event down in the south, of course, is those fleeing from gaza city up to 1.1 million people escaping with 24 hours heading to the south on just two supply routes. as people expect a sustained and
5:11 pm
greater bombing campaign to come from the israeli air force. skirmishes have ceased around southern around southern israel as the remainder of the hamas terrorists in the area are either captured or killed. but that large convoy of forces preparing for that likely ground invasion into the gaza strip, the first since 2014, is there tonight. the israeli flag carrier el al, the national airline, will fly on shabbat for the first time in 41 years as reservists returned from around the to world join the ranks of the to world join the ranks of the idf . 360,000 reservists have the idf. 360,000 reservists have been activated to sustain this fight. and to replenish the suppues fight. and to replenish the supplies of manpower for the greatest asset for any army . but greatest asset for any army. but within that, 360,000 activate some 100 coming in from britain . some 100 coming in from britain. later tonight, i'll be speaking with the british israeli who's returned to join the fighting . returned to join the fighting. >> yes. okay. charlie and i
5:12 pm
think i can hear some sirens going off in the background there as well. could you just summarise for us so there has been skirmishes and we took some of those live from the lebanon border with israel. there was artillery fire there , but also artillery fire there, but also there is a continued bombardment taking place in gaza . this is taking place in gaza. this is live at the moment, actually. in fact , this is live at the moment, actually. in fact, this is gaza city and we can see quite significant explosions actually taking place at the moment. some explosions actually taking place at the moment . some concern, at the moment. some concern, charlie, that hamas are using civilians as human shields at the moment. what do we know about that ? about that? >> that's been a consistent tactic and procedure of the hamas group for many decades now . they they use their rocket artillery firing points from within civilian locations . they within civilian locations. they often embed their troops within residential buildings , schools
5:13 pm
residential buildings, schools and hospitals are not targeted by the israeli air force. but hamas militants are known to operate in those areas. they have control of the gaza strip. they are the militant force there. they are the political force there . and of course, as force there. and of course, as the israeli air force seeks to return fire from any point of origin, from rockets that leave the gaza strip, they have to account for the fact that it is almost certainly going to be striking into an area where civilians are present . and so civilians are present. and so the israelis have a number of tactics that deploy in tactics that they deploy in order minimise the threats to order to minimise the threats to civilians. often do civilians. they often do something called a knock and drop where if they are if they are building where are targeting a building where they civilians are they suspect civilians are inside, they will thud the roof with an unarmed charge so that there's a warning and all the civilians can leave before more punitive and charge munitions arrive. minutes later . it's arrive. minutes later. it's roughly the same warning that israelis get before rockets are launched into this area by the air raid sirens. early this
5:14 pm
week, we actually had the remarkable situation where hamas were directly warning israelis of incoming rocket fire on tuesday at 4 pm. they said in an hour , we will strike ashkelon an hour, we will strike ashkelon and strike ashkelon. they did hundreds of rockets headed up there. the iron dome here intercepting most of them , but intercepting most of them, but some making direct impact. intercepting most of them, but some making direct impact . there some making direct impact. there have been direct rocket attacks landing successfully into israeli territory every single day since this conflict began on saturday morning. they almost certainly will continue even as the israelis ramp up their campaign of targeting hamas capabilities within the gaza strip . strip. >> yeah, charlie, thank you very much. it's charlie peters there who is live for us from tel aviv. i'm going to bring in now defence analyst, lieutenant colonel stuart crawford . colonel stuart crawford. lieutenant colonel, thank you very much. great to have you on the show. we're looking at live footage of gaza at the moment, the show. we're looking at live f0(atge of gaza at the moment, the show. we're looking at live f0(atge of we a at the moment, the show. we're looking at live f0(atge of we were :he moment, the show. we're looking at live f0(atge of we were anyway. ent, or at least we were anyway. we're explosions were taking place. and what make of place. and what do you make of the at the
5:15 pm
the situation there at the moment? do you think it moment? how long do you think it could there is an could be before there is an israeli into israeli ground offensive into gaza ? gaza? >> well, that's good question , patrick. >> and i don't think anyone can really second guess that. certainly, i don't think the israeli military or the idf are going to broadcast to the world when their offensive is going to begin. but begin it will. and i think that your correspondent, charlie, out there is quite right to say somewhere between the next 24 and 72 hours, we will see a move into the northern part of the gaza strip . northern part of the gaza strip. hence the encouraged agent from israel for those civilians living there to move south of the wadi gaza, which splits the strip in two parts, basically to get out of the way. and this is part and parcel of an attempt to recognise the international law which does state that indiscriminate attacks against military and civilians and civilians in particular is against international law. and the israelis will want to avoid
5:16 pm
that insofar as they can. but it's a big ask and 24 hours is, as everybody else has said, is justi as everybody else has said, is just i mean, it's an impossible deadune. deadline. >> well, it is basically an impossible deadline , especially impossible deadline, especially considering that hamas is supposedly telling people to stay in situ and therefore using them as human shields . what them as human shields. what we're looking at on the screen now was footage jordan now was footage from jordan a little bit earlier on where in response to a former hamas leader's calls for a global day of jihad leader's calls for a global day ofjihad , leader's calls for a global day of jihad , there were of jihad, there were demonstrations streets , demonstrations on the streets, similar scenes in yemen, in iraq, afghan in bangladesh, sri lanka , apparently, and also lanka, apparently, and also malaysia . so those calls were malaysia. so those calls were met a fair amount. how much of a concerning situation is that , concerning situation is that, stuart, that we appear to have a global uprising almost. >> well, indeed, yes. i mean, the islamic population of the world, i mean, i don't can't put a figure it, but it's a figure on it, but it's considerably large . and the considerably large. and all the places have mentioned
5:17 pm
places that you have mentioned have large . islamic have got large. islamic populations and so i don't think that by any stretch of the imagination that every muslim is out on the streets rioting or demonstrating today, i should think it's very small think it's a very small proportion, but it just shows the of modern the power of modern communication that a call to do that can resonate worldwide. >> well , exactly. and the reason >> well, exactly. and the reason why i ask that is if we are going to see any increased military action in gaza by israel, which we almost definitely are, and what will come with that will be very distressing. humanitarian situations, quite possibly involving children. that's the nature of the conflict. unfortunate at the moment. will this escalate into other nations stay pepping it up a notch and saying, look at what israel is doing in gaza. this cannot stand and you know, a large portion of the global community wanting to come down on israel basically .
5:18 pm
come down on israel basically. well i think that's a very real risk . risk. >> but i think, you know, we've got to be we've got to be realistic here. i mean, we have to recognise that the bad guys in this instance are hamas and the attacks were atrocities perpetrated by them and israel is retaliating and they have every right to do so . so the every right to do so. so the situation i mean , we could go situation i mean, we could go back into the politics of it until, you know, biblical times and not come up with an answer. but in the current situation, hamas has started this and the israelis are going to finish it. israelis are going to finish it. i don't think we're looking at global conflict, but i don't think we're looking at global conflict , but there i don't think we're looking at global conflict, but there may be a spill—over regionally, you say much depends on. >> i'm just going to cut across to you very quickly. sorry, but it's because we're taking live footage now from rome. right. so we are anticipating big demonstrations in a lot of major european cities. so in paris , we european cities. so in paris, we did actually earlier on today having an attack in france where
5:19 pm
an individual who was on some kind of terror watch list shouting allahu akbar, stabbed a teacher to death. his brother and another person also on a terror watch list were arrested near two other schools in france. but we're expecting to see demonstrations in paris . see demonstrations in paris. this is rome where it's just started. now. we can see a lot of palestinian flags flying there and this is a concern for quite a few people, stuart, that especially here in britain, which is that there are a ready made population of people who are ready to clamp down on israel, who are ready to potentially. i know there is a distinction between the people of palestine and hamas. and i don't want to fall into that trap, but potentially could be ready support hamas . ready to support hamas. >> yes, it would appear to be the case. and i think in in london and rome and paris, etcetera, etcetera, our political leaders have got to step up to the plate and take the kid gloves off the right to
5:20 pm
peacefully demonstrate , i think peacefully demonstrate, i think is very important in a modern democracy. but when you're calling for harm to be visited on other peoples, then i think you cross the line and indeed, someone who was a believer arrested in brighton today for doing just that, supporting hamas, which is a proscribed terrorist organisation, certainly in in the uk and many other countries around the world. so i don't think we i don't think we should be shy of that. i think we, you know, we need to step up and take responsible pity for the awful things happening things that are happening and sadly the sadly about to happen in the middle east. >> that is stuart crawford there, lieutenant colonel who is a defence analyst, just trying to give us a little bit of a global picture there. as you can tell, it's a fast moving situation in bombs and rockets going off gaza. stop at going off in gaza. stop at the moment. protest has just moment. a protest has just started in rome. and again, i think be interesting to think it will be interesting to see that is dispersed as see how if that is dispersed as we look ahead to potential
5:21 pm
incidents, taking place in britain this evening as well. members of the jewish community saying that they are not going to go outside, that they fear for their own safety. we will be coming very shortly. are coming to that very shortly. are we getting the view from around the as many wonder , could the world as many wonder, could events in the middle east spiral into wider conflict? into a much wider conflict? patrick christys gb news britain's news channel or.

blinken travelled to qatar and held a joint press conference alongside the qatari prime minister. he expressed how the us is working urgently to get hostages released while the qatari prime minister said that it's qatar's priority to stop the war. this followed blinken's meeting with palestinian leader mahmoud abbas this morning in jordan and have a look at this from a washington, dc university. earlier this week, i'm just going to play you a clip that was a anti—israeli pro—palestinian, arguably pro hamas protest that took place in washington, dc. this is how a jewish student reacted loan. they want our people dead . they want our people dead. >> they want us kill . and part >> they want us kill. and part of . oh, is it a >> they want us kill. and part of. oh, is it a loan ? of. oh, is it a loan? >> how are you allowing this? why are you putting us? they
5:26 pm
want him dead . end it, please. want him dead. end it, please. >> joining me now from washington is us political analyst eric hamm. eric, thank you very much . it does seem like you very much. it does seem like a global tinderbox at the moment. what's america's role in all of this ? all of this? >> well , america has made clear >> well, america has made clear that they are going to continue to stand with israel in this situation. it's why we see anthony blinken , the secretary anthony blinken, the secretary of state, doing this round robin, travelling across the region to assure allies and also to make clear that the united states is going to steadfastly stand with israel as it continues this incursion and this military offensive . this military offensive. >> okay. and what's the feeling like in america in terms of how far are they going to allow israel to go in terms of responding to these attacks? we
5:27 pm
are preparing, we think, for a ground incursion in of gaza in the coming hours or days. >> yeah, that's been a big question that has been put to us officials . officials. >> but the united states is pretty much boxed in here. we know that there are a us americans that are dead as a result of this attack . in result of this attack. in addition to that, there are growing concern that some of these hostages could include americans . and so we know that americans. and so we know that the united states is doing trying to, of course, stand with israel, but also wants to do everything that it can to assure for the safe release , release for the safe release, release and passage of these us would potentially american hostages. and so the united states is in a in a very delicate balance here allow willing to allow allow israel to go as far as it needs to, but also recognising what
5:28 pm
that could mean for potential americans that are also in the crossfire . crossfire. >> okay. and what are the scenes like in america? we had a concerning incident that we brought there about in washington , a pro—palestinian washington, a pro—palestinian arguably debatably anyway, pro hamas demonstration. we understand there is a pro—israeli demonstration taking pro— israeli demonstration taking place pro—israeli demonstration taking place now, i think actually in washington as well . what is washington as well. what is america like on this? i know that britain is quite divided. europe has had quite a few incidents as well. what's america like? >> well, we're seeing a lot of demonstrations in the united states. in fact , it's become a states. in fact, it's become a very polarised situation. there have been an pro—palestinian rallies across the nation. in fact, we know of one law student at new york university city that put out a statement in support of the palestine people and, of course, had a job offer rescinded as a result. in
5:29 pm
addition , in congress, we know addition, in congress, we know there are members of congress who have made clear their stance on this issue with some take two, perhaps suggest that there is an affinity for hamas. and so there has been a huge blowback . there has been a huge blowback. so what's taking place in europe? what's taking place in the uk? we're seeing a lot of remnants of that here in washington, in washington and across the country. >> okay, ari, thank you very much. great to have you on the show washington. as us show from washington. as us political analyst eric hamm. america going to have america is going to have a massive say in what goes on going fonnard. really in terms of how far israel is allowed to go in terms of weapons free as well. i'm just wondering whether or not i might be able to take you to scenes that we had earlier on from rome in italy. just quickly, there is just quickly, because there is a demonstration taking place there there now. yes, i can. so this is a pro—palestine demonstration in rome at the moment. this is live imagery . now, as yet, it live imagery. now, as yet, it all seems relatively calm. and today we're expecting to see
5:30 pm
similar scenes in paris. i wonder if we will see anything like this in london today. i understand that there are demonstrations scheduled for tomorrow . might not just be tomorrow. might not just be london, by the way, of course. could be elsewhere across the uk . we'll be fascinating to see how the police deal with that very shortly. i'm going to be talking to nigel farage, who's going to be talking about all of this. but also as well, the other news that he has now been re banked by lloyds following the coots de—banking scandal the old coots de—banking scandal . so make you stay . so make sure that you stay tuned just a couple of tuned in just a couple of moments time. nigel farage will be show. but right moments time. nigel farage will be as show. but right moments time. nigel farage will be as your show. but right moments time. nigel farage will be as your headlinesut right moments time. nigel farage will be as your headlines withjht now, as your headlines with arron . arron. >> hi there it is 531. good evening aaron armstrong here in the gb newsroom. palestinians are fleeing northern gaza after israel ordered more than a million people who live there to move south. thousands have been leaving on foot or in cars heading for the designated gaza

5:34 pm
desperate action as i went to bank after bank to be told no , bank after bank to be told no, we can't do your business. and i began to think at one point in june, well, what am i going to do? i'll have to sort of live off grid, go back to cash. and so yeah, i'm obviously very pleased that lloyds have said they're happy to accept the business. they don't hold a position on people with legitimate political views. so that's very good news. but i think there is a very big lesson in all of this , and it's very in all of this, and it's very simple. if you think that you won't be banked or you can't be banked, you may be making a big mistake. you know, in one financial year, 21, 22, a third of a million people and businesses were banked. the banks decide they don't want you, you're gone. you're out. so i would urge everybody , i would urge everybody, particularly if you're running a small business, make sure you've got a second bank account open and get on with it now because
5:35 pm
it takes 3 or 4 months to get a business account open. it's a lengthy , difficult process and lengthy, difficult process and the same for people's personal accounts. make sure you've got another account . don't just rely another account. don't just rely on one. you know, i'm hoping , on one. you know, i'm hoping, patrick, that the laws change. i'm hoping that people get the right enshrined in law to have a bank account. but until then, having a second bank account is like having an insurance policy . like having an insurance policy. and stupidly, i didn't. >> well, you say stupidly. i mean quite possibly because no one expected anything like this to happen. really? we didn't know of the problem, know the extent of the problem, did you highlighted did we? until you highlighted it. it's realised that it. and now it's realised that so many were a so many people were in a position just like you and it's taken profile taken somebody with your profile now and your platform to be able to highlight that. so now that's some wise words there from nigel, which is get yourself onto the bank account and get it done quickly. congratulations for banking with lloyds . for now. banking with lloyds. nigel look, just just while i've got if that's all right. we got you, if that's all right. we are ongoing, devastating are seeing ongoing, devastating situations israel and situations across israel and gaza and the middle east and
5:36 pm
fears that we're going to see a situation spill over onto our streets as well. a little bit later going be later on, i'm going to be talking about robert jenrick's comments that if a foreign national is on streets national is on our streets here, openly supporting hamas, that that could well be grounds for deportation . i just want to know deportation. i just want to know where you are on that. >> well, robert jenrick government. all in. government. let them all in. i mean , they're coming in every mean, they're coming in every calm day across the english channel. got channel. they haven't got passports, they haven't got id, they those into the sea at they chuck those into the sea at the mile we have no the 12 mile line. we have no idea. literally no idea how many people are living in this country where they're living, what their background is . so what their background is. so it's all well and good for the minister to sound tough, but actually successive conservative and labour governments are the ones have caused this ones that have caused this problem . but of course anyone problem. but of course anyone that spoke out against it. oh no, no, no. this is all in the name of diversity and that must be a good thing . let's see. be a good thing. let's see. i think the police have got a devil a job and it is a devil devil of a job and it is a devil of a job. you know, it's a very fine line, isn't it, between
5:37 pm
flying a palestinian flag and saying things and saying things that inciteful, not easy for that are inciteful, not easy for the . the home secretary the police. the home secretary has spoken strongly, but, you know, just look at the reaction from the football association and others. there is a great degree of cowardice around this. and fear and what the police will not want to do is to stoke an even bigger rebellion. the fact we've sunk to this as a country is sickening and saddening . saddening. >> nigel thank you very much. nigel farage there making the time for us from kent talking initially about the fact that he's been banked . and also then he's been banked. and also then on top of that , i think he's on top of that, i think he's expressing a lot of concerns that a lot people like him that a lot of people like him have raising for a heck of have been raising for a heck of a long time now, which is that if we rapid, levels, if we have rapid, high levels, mass migration from countries where potentially israel is viewed the enemy jews are viewed as the enemy and jews are viewed as the enemy and jews are viewed as the enemy and jews are viewed as , you know, not in a viewed as, you know, not in a particularly favourable way, then you at least create the situation for something like this to occur. that is nigel farage that gb news presenter now media outlets all over the
5:38 pm
world are continuing to cover the israel hamas war as the deadune the israel hamas war as the deadline for more than 1 million gaza residents to flee southward looms ever closer. that's just a couple of hours away now. but the bbc in particular has been criticised for not describing hamas militants as terrorists. uk defence secretary grant shapps said the policy is verging on disc graceful, while defence secretary james cleverly has also called out the broadcaster so what has the uk media reaction been to this israel—hamas war? where is the line ? joining me now is former line? joining me now is former executive director sir, executive director sir, executive editor of news of the world. it's neil wallace. neil, thank you very much. great to have you on the show. and there's a few bits and bobs that came out today, not least actually on the front of the daily telegraph. if they didn't print a picture, which would have been deeply distressing , have been deeply distressing, but they did then carry it inside. how do you think the british media has gone about covering this tinderbox of a
5:39 pm
situation so far ? situation so far? >> i think in the main, they've done a tremendous job and i think in the main, almost all media outlets have poured their resources into this and it has shown the value and importance of a diverse , lively press . of a diverse, lively press. >> you know, press freedom really matters . really matters. >> and it's showing now and it's showing in the way that various organisations such as your own , organisations such as your own, are calling out people like the bbc for their double standards in covering this war. >> you know, you can talk and reveal all a terrible events , reveal all a terrible events, but the idea that you don't then describe quite logic , the describe quite logic, the perpetrators of those appalling , perpetrators of those appalling, barbaric events as terrorists is simply appalling. >> i tweeted about grant shapps comments this morning and got
5:40 pm
the biggest reaction i've had to a tweet in some time. i'm almost in entirely behind the idea that the bbc should do the right thing and call hamas what they are terrorists and the lack of doing it has thrown in a sort of diversion, if you like , that the diversion, if you like, that the luvvies and the woke are absolutely revelling in that they it doesn't get the coverage it gets and it should they should be called out because there is a reason why hamas are doing what they're doing. yeah i'm just going to i'm sorry just about to interrupt you. >> basically, i was just having a look there and i'm hoping we might bring again might be able to bring up again maybe second just some of maybe in a second just some of the we had the live footage that we had from earlier because we from rome earlier on, because we are these demonstrations are seeing these demonstrations right we had right across europe. we had paris night. now paris paris last night. now paris straight the police straight away, the french police came said, we're came out and said, right, we're banning protests. a banning these protests. it's a risk public order. risk to public order. they happened they got
5:41 pm
happened anyway, but they got the they get the water cannons out. they get the water cannons out. they get the get the batons out, they get the smoke out at rome. as smoke grenades out at rome. as it stands , seems peaceful at the it stands, seems peaceful at the moment. but this protest only started or demonstration only started or demonstration only started a few moments ago. so we'll have wait and see what we'll have to wait and see what happens was your kind of happens there was your kind of comment . you know, someone happens there was your kind of comment. you know, someone who's had on the pulse of had their finger on the pulse of the public as a former the british public as a former executive of news of executive editor of the news of the for world years now, how do you feel the british public and this with this country is dealing with this country is dealing with this as a whole? we this situation as a whole? we await tonight for the potential for issues to kick off, certainly over the weekend, there are demonstrations planned . are you concerned ? . are you concerned? >> yeah, i'm very concerned. >> yeah, i'm very concerned. >> i'm particularly concerned about the way that schools in north london, jewish schools felt in this democracy . felt in this democracy. >> we, you know, one of the oldest democracies in the world, one of the great countries of the world that a school, three schools felt compelled to tell their children not to come to school today, because you may be
5:42 pm
in danger. what does that say about the extent of the grip of people who are perpetrate these kinds of demonstrations at a time of international horror is nothing sacred? so, you know , i nothing sacred? so, you know, i was listening to the radio earlier , the bbc, and they were earlier, the bbc, and they were they were talking to a guy in gaza, an english passport holder who was bewailing being the experience of being one of those forced to move south. and the bbc asked him what what what do you think about the hamas who effectively have caused all this ? and he blamed israel. so the bbc are prepared to broadcast that there , prepared to that there, prepared to broadcast an apology , if you broadcast an apology, if you like, for hamas , but will not like, for hamas, but will not call them out. and i think that's reflected in this country . i think the vast majority of people here will have been utterly and utterly appalled by
5:43 pm
what hamas did on saturday morning . there will be no morning. there will be no sympathy for the hamas supporters . yeah. yet to the supporters. yeah. yet to the great horror of many people, they will be allowed to get away with it . with it. >> and i think one thing that's been a massive eye opener for me is something that possibly people did already know deep down, which was there's a huge section of the population in this country and right across europe who clearly hate israel, hate israelis. i will go as far as to say hate. i think a lot of the jewish population in as well who've been tearing down posters of missing persons and missing jewish children , which makes me jewish children, which makes me feel sick and angry, actually. and who are very keen to celebrate . hand sweets out. why celebrate. hand sweets out. why are you handing sweets out for at the celebration of israelis being massacred, of babies being beheaded ? and also, neil, people beheaded? and also, neil, people who seem to demand an unbelievably high burden of proof in a way that they've
5:44 pm
never done for any incidents before about the decapitation of babies , for example, to the babies, for example, to the point where israel , all his own point where israel, all his own twitter account , put out twitter account, put out unbelievably distressing images to prove it, which they should never have had to have done. okay. i think we are, you know, in very, very dangerous times here in this country, neil, at the moment . the moment. >> i think that you open by talking about the daily telegraph page one this morning, which was actually an incredibly brave position . they took they brave position. they took they replicated it. they did it the night before actually online and thatis night before actually online and that is a very, very brave thing for a national media outlet to do. and they let the reader decide . they could turn to it decide. they could turn to it and see it. they online, you could you had to go through a number of clicks before you saw the image and but it was brought about you're quite right by the fact that the deniers who
5:45 pm
literally deny why it is white and black is black, that that these things have happened. the truth is disgusting , appalling, truth is disgusting, appalling, barbaric things were committed quite deliberately by these terrorists have hands on saturday morning and they did it because they were frightened that there was growing rapprochement within the middle east between israel and other arab states. they are desperate to keep the war going. and if that costs the lives of many thousands of their own citizens , thousands of their own citizens, they think it's worthwhile . they think it's worthwhile. should people they're prepared to sacrifice these pictures. here you've got this is all down to hamas. okay. hamas is doing this to these people, not israel . israel are simply trying to strike back against the people who butchered their babies. they are trying to get back the 150 or so kidnap victims and hamas rather than do that for their
5:46 pm
own ends, for the ends of their paymasters in iran , are prepared paymasters in iran, are prepared to do this to their own people. that's what we should not remember, that explosion on the television. now is due to hamas . television. now is due to hamas. >> okay, neil, thank you very much. great to have you on the show. >> continue to be down to hamas, okay? >> yep . neil, look, thank you >> yep. neil, look, thank you very, very much. it's neil wallace there. i'll talk to you again very soon. no doubt is the former editor of the former executive editor of the news world. strong news of the world. okay. strong stuff the show now stuff to finish the show now because we have a lot of foreign students in this country. we have a of academics have a lot of foreign academics in this country. there in this country. and there have been for anyone who been calls now for anyone who praises hamas's attack on israel to face deportation. and i'm going to finish by discussing that. do you think that's right? do you think that if foreign students or foreign academics in this country or foreign nationals at all are found on the streets of britain openly
