kim darroch, former national security _ back off.k off. kim darroch, former - national security adviser and former uk ambassador to the united states, thank you very much indeed. earlier we heard from sir mark lyall grant who was the representative of the uk to the united nations from 2009 to 2015 and he gave us this reaction. it is certainly going to be a difficult visit, visiting a conflict zone always means that will be the case. but i think his messages will be obviously 100% solidarity with israel, but also showing support for british nationals in israel, but also in gaza, let alone the hostages, british hostages, in gaza as well. and he will certainly be wanting to dissuade any regional countries from getting directly involved. it is not yet clear what countries he will be visiting but i imagine he will go to perhaps to the west bank, jordan, maybe egypt, and james cleverly is visiting some countries as well separately. that will be an important message. but i think there will be some messages also around the aid because presid

mo elleithee — democratic political campaign strategist on rfk jr lord kim darroch., i'm lizzie greenwood—hughes here with your sports news. starting with gymnastics. simone biles has broken the record for the most world and olympic gymnastic medals. the us superstar, who'sjust back to international competition after two years out to protect her mental health, added the all around gold in antwerp tonight to the team gold she won yesterday. it takes her total to sa global medals. so at 26 years young, biles still reigns supreme but she's not giving anything away about next year's 0|ympics yet. i can't answer any questions for the future, i am going to live in the now. i have got two daysin to live in the now. i have got two days in the final as i'm going to focus on that. today, i feel more relaxed and comfortable with where i am out with my gymnastics. i knew it was going to be a fun night. i was hit ten years ago, the crowd was amazing. i appreciate the crowd, the fans, everyone. team usa. i had a really good time tonight. france are through to the quarterfinals of

earlier i spoke to lord kim darroch, the former british ambassador to the united states, about america'stries to vote against the un general assembly resolution calling for a ceasefire. last night, we and germany and australia and canada and others abstained on it. and that was, if you like, a signal of their continuing public complete support for what israel is doing. but in private, i think they will be pressing the israelis to minimize civilian casualties in this operation in gaza, to get it over as quickly as possible, because the longer it goes on, the greater the risk of escalation. the more public support for israel around the world, whichever way. and then they will be getting messages through to the leader, palestinian leaders on the west bank to try to stop anything igniting there. they will be getting messages through the back channel to iran saying do not encourage hezbollah to intensify these clashes across the border with israel in the north. and they'll be messaging other parts of the arab world to try to stop any wider escalation. remember last week, a us destroyer interc

on the panel tonight, the former british ambassador to the us, lord kim darroch, who once served as the uk's national security adviser, and from washington, formerfederal prosecutorjoe moreno. good evening. the sirens sounded tonight in tel aviv while the us secretary of state was meeting at a military base with prime minister benjamin netanyahu and his war cabinet. in spite of ten days of bombardment in gaza, hamas is still able to fire rockets into israel, which tonight sent mr blinken and the prime minister scurrying into a shelter. nonetheless, the punishment for hamas is unreleting. more so for the innocent palestinians who are trapped in gaza. the united nations says israel's siege is causing a deepening humanitarian crisis, which could come to a head in the next 2a hours as the hospitals run out of fuel to power the generators. the destruction in some parts of the strip is total. these are pictures from the jabalia refugee camp, once home to 120,000 people. it was one of the world's most densely populated neighbourhoods, now in ruins, and those who stayed are clinging on. we will
