maybe a start and not an end to her actions and through symons al-jazeera the seller in the occupied west bank well to many israelis was discussed at the meeting of the israeli cabinet and the agriculture minister called her a terrorist. i think israel acts too mercifully with these types of terrorists and others israel should treat harshly those who hit its soldiers we can't have a situation where there is no deterrence deterrence leads to that reality we see now you can change that we must change that. a boat loaded with aid bound for gaza has been intercepted by the israeli navy and is being escorted to the port city of ashdod it's one of two boats attempting to break the tovey a blockade of gaza by israel and egypt it set off from palermo in italy a week ago carrying twenty two people including some israeli citizens saudi media says government of shot dead the head of intelligence security for aden airport in yemen and that some of kerry was killed by masked gunmen no group has yet claimed responsibility for the attack there's been a recent rise in attacks on government officials

tom symons reports. lunch, shortly to be served in this 0ldham community centre.rving sentences. this is community payback. you have criminals working for you here. is that a bit odd, what do you think of that? it's great, to be quite honest. yeah, it is. we're happy with them, they don't ask us questions, and we don't ask them. i've been sent here because of benefit fraud, so obviously it's payback, isn't it? it's unpaid, but the fact i've been placed here, it's an amazing place. you know, when you've been convicted with something, you have to do your time, and it's the best way to do it. this is privatised probation. the government contracted out to encourage new ideas for getting criminals out of crime. but its run into trouble, in particular, financial trouble. these companies are paid for each offender they persuade not to reoffend. but the courts have been sending fewer of them, partly because judges and magistrates are uncertain as to whether these sorts of schemes work. sure, since the new system was introduced, 2% fewer criminals are reoffending, but thos

symone sanders. >> that was my posse move. >> i like it. >> this is the first time i have been includedm not sure i should try. >> look. i don't know. >> we can start a show. listen, this is for you homeland security secretary was interviewed today. she was asked about the upcoming one year anniversary of the nazi rally in charlottesville. and seemed to echo the president's controversial words. >> i think what's important about that conversation is it's not that one side is right one side is wrong. anybody that is advocate kating violence we need to work to mitigate. >> did anyone in the administration learn about the backlash. why can't they call out nationalism? >> that was appalling. she saw the reaction to the both sides argument. and she preets what donald trump said. she had another bad answer about cyber security and russian meddling. in which she repeated what the president said. she mimics white house talking points from donald trump. a sign of really poor leadership from her position. people who don't are not effective in positions mimic because they are not thinking for thems

i want to bring in cnn editor chris chilliza, scott jen, and symone sanders. here we go, y'all.his is a clip from rudy giuliani's interview with chris cuomo. watch this. >> i know that he's walking into a situation in which there will be no corroboration. gosh almighty, why didn't he tape it? he taped everything else, he's got a hundred tapes. maybe he did. maybe he's got a tape of that that he erased. ever think of that? >> no. >> you don't think he would erase a tape? >> i don't know. maybe he would. >> so the president's lawyer is simultaneously saying there will be no corroboration of this claim and then in the next breath suggesting that cohen may have taped the meeting and then erased it. the meeting that he is saying didn't happen. so make some sense of this for me, please. >> gosh, don, i have to be smarter than i am to do that. remember, that same interview, rudy giuliani says that michael cohen is a liar, he's been lying all week, he's been lying for years. which is odd given that he was donald trump's personal lawyer and the guy who fixed donald trump's problems. >> h

tom symons, bbc news, salisbury. let's get more on the nato summit in brussels tomorrow.8: britain is one of them. france however is not. it's a point i put to the french ambassador when i met him recently. and i asked him if france is concerned about the tougher us attitude to nato which president trump brings with him? we have to make a distinction between the us and the trump administration as we stand in the g7. and i hope that nato will be a very efficient summit. we hope that trump will be wise. he might say he has a point because if you look at french spending, he has been critical of british spending as well of course, but france spent 1.71% in 2017 of its gdp. short of the 2% target. out of a $2.6 trillion economy. why, he would say, are we carrying the burden? fance in previous years was one of the most operational countries in the realm, in syria, in africa, and perhaps more than the us. you have said that irrespective of what happens in the brexit talks, france and britain must have a close strategic partnership. so why are you, france, and the germans, denyin
