dr husam zomlot, head of the palestinian mission to the uk, told me his views on the partial uk armsl. we wanted it to be comprehensive, in line with the uk government obligations and responsibilities under international law and domestic law, which meant a full arms embargo. however, they took in a good step in the right direction to begin the process of the full implementation of international law. the law is very clear. israel is in breach of the very basic provision of international law, and therefore all third parties, as per the ruling of the international court ofjustice, must seize immediately any substantial or even partial help in the arena of military, financial, political or legal. otherwise, all these third parties would be complicit. so we will be working with the british government to build on this step towards a full arms embargo, towards sanctioning the illegal settlement and all institutions implicated in the illegal occupation. and we will build on this. so you said you're going to be working with the uk government. how will you be working with them to try and encou

why is it so important that the uk has a domestic steel industry?ving jobs, tata was facing a big investment decision anyway and it was either going to have to invest in the blast furnaces or electric carbon furnaces or shutting down the site entirely, so although it is clearly a big blow for the local community and the employees affected, the jobs that survive should not be taken for granted, and they may have been lost as well. so there has been some saving. 0n there has been some saving. 0n the importance of the steel industry, there are three fundamental reasons. no country with the manufacturing sector as large as the uk oil with similar gdp has produced is that of steel as uk already, so france has a similar characteristics and produces about double the amount of steel, and we have been going down an untrodden path. we don't know what impact it would have on industry. secondly, although there is an overcapacity in steel globally, there are lots of different types of steel and in the uk sometimes are only one or two suppliers, for example const

earlier today, during a joint news conference held by uk foreign secretary david lammy and us secretarye antony blinken, both countries have confirmed that iran is supplying ballistic missiles to russia. let's take a listen. dozens of russian military personnel, trained in iran, to use the close range ballistic missile system, which has a maximum range of 75 miles, and russia has now received shipments of these ballistic missiles, and will likely use them within weeks in ukraine. against ukrainians. russia has an array of its own ballistic missiles but the supply of iranian missiles enables russia to use more of its arsenal on targets that are further from the front line while dedicating the front line while dedicating the new missiles from iran for close range strikes. with me is our security correspondent frank gardner. you were at the news conference, so tell me more about what they were saying in that area in your assessment. you go to these things and the flags up and it's a harsh and everybody comes in, and often there is a lot of froth but there is a lot of froth but there was qu

a day of sunshine and blustery heavy showers across the uk today.ut across much of northern and western europe. blue colours showing temperatures well below average at the moment, 47 celsius for some. that continues to the rest of the working week, but milder air does make a comeback. things return to normal this weekend. that's a few days away though. out there today, as i said, it's a cool northwesterly wind feeding those showers more widely across the country into the afternoon. one or two spots may just about avoid them. some parts of southeast scotland, northeast england, some southern counties as well. very few if any showers for some of you, but i think you'd best cater for at least a downpour or two coming your way through today on that brisk wind, which will make it feel even colder when the rain is with you. probably a wind chill holding things down to around 6 to 7 celsius for some in northern scotland, but for all, temperatures, certainly down on what we saw at the weekend. now, as we go into this evening and overnight, showers continue

well, no, the motivation for the uk - motivation for the uk government's decision is not political, it the fact that the british government, by law, cannot sell arms to a country if it thinks those arms are going to be used to breach international humanitarian law, and it has made a judgment on its own mind that in 30 arms licenses, in other words all the arms the uk is currently selling to israel for military operations in gaza, that there is a clear risk that international law could be violated by the use of the weapons, therefore they will suspend the licences. so, in absolute practical terms, as you say, it's not going to have a military effect, a material impact on his role's ability to defend itself, but it does send, however, a diplomatic and political signal that one of israel's close allies thinks that what some of what it is doing in gaza, there is a clear risk it is breaching international law, and the israeli government does not like that being said, and that is being reflected by pushback from israeli ministers this morning. that speak to the israel corresponding for the t

uk assets.piece of work by london economics shows that each year universities add £265 billion to the uk economy. in context, the so—called black hole rachel reeves identified was less than a tenth of that. for every £1 invested by the government, by the country, universities return £14, so a major, major asset which contributes greatly to the economy. unfortunately, in recent years the amount of money coming into universities has not kept pace with inflation so now undergraduate courses are running at a loss. the deficit is about £3 billion a year in the country and we are only getting about 90% of the cost into universities, so unless that addressed universities will not be able to deliver the really high standard of education which students deserve and we will lose international competitiveness. it is a really important point that needs to be addressed. fire important point that needs to be addressed.— be addressed. are there any other ways. _ be addressed. are there any other ways, because -

the non—dom tax status was to keep those people in the uk contributing to the uk.of that status, what incentive do these people, many of them, what incentive do they have to stay here? if suddenly half of their income is going to go to the state? well, it's a sad reality. it doesn't seem particularly fair. and i think this is one of the reasons why taxing non—doms was always very, very popular. but the problem is there are other countries in the world. we're not the largest economy in the world. i mean, these people can choose to live elsewhere. >> it's just ideological nonsense . it's the same as nonsense. it's the same as slapping vat on private school fees. is it really going to save the state any money at all, when lots of kids will now be going into the state system, which will require more resources, more teachers, more everything ? more teachers, more everything? these policies, actually, when you look into them without an ideological lens, you have to look at the practicalities. won't save us any money by the looks of things . looks of things. >> and it's l

we import about two fifths of the food that we consume in the uk.being able to find on our supermarket shelves on a day to day basis, things like tea, coffee, rice, bananas, otherfresh things like tea, coffee, rice, bananas, other fresh fruit, these are grown in other parts of the world that are becoming increasingly vulnerable to worsening climate impacts, two extremes of rainfall, extremes of heat, of drought. and at the same time that that is happening because there is always a bit of an instinct in the uk to say lets plant more here, let's grow more here. but at the same time that that is happening in various parts of the world that grow the food we rely on, we have also just had the wettest winter on record that has affected crops here. so in a very tangible way climate impacts in various parts of the world, including here in uk, are threatening our food security in the short term. they are creating shortages and driving up food prices but in the long term there will be parts of the world where it becomes almost impossible to grow food at all,

you um my question to you is since world war ii and particularly since the series crisis of 1956 the uk has become vastle state of america and its follen policy has reflected. this reflected this, um, is there any potential within the british establishment for uk's foreign policy to regain independence, and also is the hope for institutions like the icj to become independent or for the creation creation of genuinely independent international court. thank you. well, set of wonderful questions, and thank you for your kind words and wish blessings upon your whole family, the last question is the easiest to answer, so i'll take it first, the icj is... beholden to the united nations, which is beholden to the security council, which is subject to the veto of the malignant powers on the security council, so independence for the icj is not remotely possible at this time, one praise that in the lifetime of one's children that that situation will change, but uh, it certainly will not change in my lifetime.
