and generally ad defence minister... be very clear about this, i'm looking at a direct quote from your party, an official statement. "it is either the defence ministry or we are out." that's what your party said. so as i said, when i met the prime minister last friday, itold him, you know, this is not an ultimatum, but i do think that you should give me this huge task of shifting the whole direction of israel's security plans vis—a—vis hamas. i think we've been way, way too soft... i'm so sorry to interrupt you, but you're not making much sense to me, to be brutally honest, because the official statement said "it's either the defence ministry or we are out. this is our ultimatum to stay in the government." so it clearly was an ultimatum. long story short, the prime minister decided that he was going to become the defence minister. i think it would've been a better decision to give that task to me, but i accept this. you know, you win some, you lose some, and this is one of those cases where i didn't get the task. i will

is there a real concern, particularly in europe, over russia, that defence and defence spending is veryhey agree. has certainly promised to boost french defence spending, he is calling for this european army. that may be pie in the sky, wishful thinking, certainly there are sceptical voices saying, not that old chestnut again. there is an emerging feeling that europe is an emerging feeling that europe is in deficit when it comes to its defence spending. and more needs to be done. and there is a dawning realisation ari much reticulated by president tuohy that the error of reliance on america is very much over. that has been a 70 year period of, a window of peace in europe in which europe has been able to rely wholeheartedly and without the slightest element of doubt, on the united states for its security but that period is over. the ties remain but they are not nearly as sure as they were. for that reason, europe does need to start thinking urgently about its own defence. thank you. live coverage of the commemorations on the centenary of world war i later here on bbc news. say with us fo

he has always overestimated these defence contracts, talking about $450 billion of defence contracts. on how much these contracts are worth, but apparently the actual value of us arms sales to saudi arabia since mr trump took power is 14.5 billion, so nowhere near what the president has always asserted. clearly the white house thinks this is a strategic ally and there are many people who will agree with that assessment in the united states. the poem stamped at the base of the statue of liberty famously appeals to other countries to send their poor and huddled masses to the united states in the promise of freedom. the trump administration wants to change america's relationship with immigration — but us courts aren't convinced. in the latest move, a san francisco judge has ruled the white house cannot stop people who enter the country illegally from being allowed to apply for asylum. it is part of a pattern of mr trump restricting immigration that includes. a travel ban for people for coming to the us from several muslim nations. rescinding protection for young undocumented immigrants.

i was, focused on national security and our defence and security and our defence and security policy.oking at not just groups of men to do our nation harm but also how they managed to do what they were trying to do and how to stop them. one of the ways we identified information was to use innovative technology, as do the cyber criminals and the terror groups meaning our nation harm. that was an important step in understanding this. what makes your cyber security different? we are focused on the human aspect helping organisations understand cyber risk and that means helping people be more secure, using technology to solve problems but using it securely ina solve problems but using it securely in a sustainable way using innovative technology, artificial intelligence, based on psychology and behaviour change. what does that mean in practice? a lot of these cyber programmes that people offer are quite boring and you just click through them just to be done with them so that you are data compliant and you can do yourjob. how is yours more engaging and how does it change the risks associated

but defence is just as important.ahony, snatching the ball a split second before the all blacks could grab it and score. new zealand were attacking until the last. no way through. 16-9. ireland have beaten the best in dublin. now they just need to win the world cup. elsewhere, scotland took on south africa with their free running, freethinking kind of rugby. that is a great try for scotland. but south africa's outstanding player, handre pollard, said small moments were big moments, like this. and south africa held on to win 26—20. in cardiff, wales met tongan red with steel. their shirts are anthracite colour, officially. there were new combinations in the unfamiliar kits. ten welsh tries displayed strength in depth and strength of character. wales cut loose with 7a points in the end. lovely when a plan comes together. we spoke all week about tiring them down and then coming through at the end and it panned out exactly as we thought. it was tough for us but we made it tougherfor them. japan made it truly tough for eng

at a news conference, the defence ministry said that it seemed impossible to recover what was left ofso don't have a remotely operated vehicle to go down to those depths, to check the sea bed, and we don't have the equipment to extract a vessel with those characteristics. news that the vessel had been found 800 metres below the surface of the ocean offered little comfort to the families of the dead. the sanjuan was returning from a routine mission to ushuaia, around 400 kilometres off the patagonian coast, when it reported an electrical breakdown on 15 november 2017. a massive international search and rescue operation found no trace of the missing sub. for a year, nothing. the failed search raised questions about the state of the argentinian armada, which was one of latin america's smallest defence budgets relative to the size of its economy. at the one—year commemoration held on thursday, relatives were still asking questions. translation: i do not wish the loss of a child on anyone, not my worst enemy. we want to have news, we wantjustice to be done, for the truth to be known, and f

an early chink in the scottish defence.s game is both a strength, scotland's is all about scale. and pace. peter korn sprinting over the line. and the creativity continue to pay off as set from the lab is sending hamish wants into the heart of the springbok defence. despite going down to 14 in the second—half south africa kicked themselves into commanding position. first andra pollard and then elton dan chas. a real test match in the end edged by springbok. just a second defeat in two years at murray feel for scotland. at times they were brilliant but it was not quite enough. there were great moments i got us back in the game and moments in the second half where we could have ushered off and picked on. but the effort put out was outstanding. this team is learning every time we come together and todayit every time we come together and today it is painful losing but we will learn it be a better team for. next up for the springboks will be wales with the welsh going for their first autumn international clewan sweep. they had a

he's being held in the irish republic on suspicion of murdering two ulster defence regiment soldiers in dublin tomorrow. a full—scale search is under way to find 79 children kidnapped from a boarding school in north—west cameroon. it's thought the school's principal is among three staff also abducted by gunmen. separatist rebels are being blamed for the attack — though they have denied responsibility. caroline rigby has the story. abandoned, the scattered belongings of missing students, left behind after gunmen broke into their dormitory. in all, 79 pupils were abducted from bamenda's presbyterian secondary school, along with the principle and two other staff members. one student who witnessed the attack described hiding under a bed in order to escape a similar fate to his classmates. one of my friends, they beat him up mercilessly. so they took him outside. all i could think about is just stay quiet. they will shoot. so everybody... one boy escaped. all the big boys, they rounded up. any small ones, they left them behind. the armed raid happened in bamenda, the capital of the englis

it wasn't always self defence, though, was it?ceman murdered in one small town in nicaragua, you know, that's notjust... you are talking about morrito, i believe? yeah, morrito‘s become very well—known because the government in managua makes a point of saying, you know, some of the protesters were terrorists and they murdered policemen in uniform. and it's shameful, i will not try to defend anyone who has a shot against, you know, police officers, as violent as they are. but if you take a snapshot of what happened after april 18th, you will only get a limited view of what has happened. the police in nicaragua lost legitimacy many years ago when they started killing a lot of campesinos. if you read the report from the nicaraguan centre for human rights, there were almost 70 extrajudicial killings before april, in the last ten years. so the population, particularly in the isolated areas of nicaragua, were tired of that kind of police abuse for years. once again, i am notjustifying in any way that type of violence. mr maradiaga, why

wholly inconsistent with the behaviour of nhl —— nation with whom we have a defence accord.ve it her urgent attention, and if he's not released, i don't see why we should be committed to their defence. i say to my honourable friend, we are of course, as he is, deeply disappointed and concerned at this verdict. and i realise how difficult and distressing this is but for matthew hedges, but also for his family. we are raising it with the emirati authorities at the highest level. my right honourable friend, the foreign secretary, is seeking a call with the foreign minister. during his visit to the uae, he raised the issue with both the crown prince and the foreign minister, and i can assure my friends that we'll continue to do all we can to support and we will continue to press this matter at the highest level with the emiratis. the plight of matthew hedges was also raised in the house of lords when peers discussed human rights in saudi arabia after president trump defended america's ties with the country in the wake of the murder of the journalist jamal khashoggi in the saudi
