This is gb news across the uk on tv in your car, on Digital Radio and on your Smart Speaker by saying play gb news now lets get back to. Mark ray. Thanks very much and welcome back to the live desk. Now israels Defence Forces say that its troops and tanks have mounted raids into the gaza strip overnight with confirmation. Now they believe confirmation. Now they believe 222 people are being held hostage there. Well, the uns humanitarian agency in gaza says possibly thousands of people and are returning to the north after fleeing to the south because of the increased airstrikes. There have been more explosions near the rafah crossing in the past half hour and in the past few minutes, the gaza Health Ministry, which controlled by ministry, which is controlled by hamas has claimed 5087 people hamas, has claimed 5087 people have been killed in gaza so far. Our security editor mark white has the latest from tel aviv. Has the latest from tel aviv. And a warning that his report does contain some distressing images. Images. In gaza overnight, the most intense period of israeli airstrikes since the war with hamas began more than a fortnight ago. More than 300 fortnight ago. More than 300 separate air strikes on what the israeli Defence Forces said were hamas tunnels , command centres hamas tunnels, command centres and other terrorist infrastructure. But the idf say their aerial campaign is being made all the more complicated by hamass cynical use of sensitive civilian sites to place their rocket launchers as theyve released aerial photographs, which israel says proves that launchers have been placed next to schools. One picture is said to schools. One picture is said to schools. One picture is said to show a launcher highlighted in red next to a kindergarten in others apparently show launch sites to next a mosque and even a United Nations compound. That a United Nations compound. That makes israels attempt to avoid civilian casualties all the more difficult. Despite being warned difficult. Despite being warned to leave hundreds of thousands of civilians either cant or dont want to leave northern gaza. The hamas controlled Health Ministry says hundreds of people were killed in strikes over the weekend with close to 5000 killed since the war began two weeks ago. With troops still massing on the gaza border, many communities in southern israel have been evacuated. This is sderot, eerily quiet , but a sderot, eerily quiet, but a ghost town as residents here fled or were moved out after the october seventh attack. They wont be back anytime soon. Many of those who fled southern israel have ended up here in tel aviv being put up in hotels and other accommodation. Most fled without their personal belongings. So these donation belongings. So these donation banks are critical in being able to pick up clothing and other vital supplies in northern israel. Prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited troops on the lebanese border and warned the Hezbollah Group that if it starts another front in the war, it would be the biggest mistake of its life. Overnight, Israeli Forces attacked a number of hezbollah cells it says were planning to launch imminent attacks on israeli communities and military installations. Amid and military installations. Amid the growing tensions right across the region , there was one across the region, there was one optimistic note with the first aid supplies crossing over into gaza from egypt at. But only 34 trucks crossed at the weekend. Trucks crossed at the weekend. Just 4 of the number of aid trucks normally passing through the rafah crossing. Mark white the rafah crossing. Mark white gb news, tel aviv. We well, lets get the latest now live from tel aviv with mark. And just to reflect on what the idf was saying earlier, mark, one wonders if the ground offensive perhaps has actually begun, but not in the way that we expected, not this sort of shock and awe weve seen previously, but more limited targeting sorties across the border to. Yeah, a number of raids that have taken place in recent days. And the idf say that these raids are by groups of idf personnel, all aimed at taking out Hamas Terrorists and also trying to gather information, gain an understanding of where the hostages might be thats going to continue. There was one such raid that took place last night and an idf soldier was killed. Another three idf soldiers were injured. And all the while that injured. And all the while that is taking place on the ground in that limited form, what we have is a very significant aerial bombardment. These missile strikes that are coming from israel. The heaviest night so far last night with 327 separate strikes. Now, the idf say that strikes. Now, the idf say that they were striking tunnels , they were striking tunnels, systems, command and control systems, command and control systems , dams and other systems, dams and other terrorist facilities in gaza. Terrorist facilities in gaza. But as always, given the built up area in gaza, mark, and despite the fact that people have been warned to evacuate the area, there are still hundreds of thousands of people in there. And as a result of these strikes, there are continuing casualties. Casualties. And indeed weve seen more explosions , ins near the rafah explosions, ins near the rafah crossing in the past 45 minutes, pretty severe , significant pretty severe, significant explosions as well. And weve got the Un Humanitarian Agency now saying that more and more people are leaving the south and heading back north. Of course, they had been in the belief that perhaps the south would be a safe haven for them. Safe haven for them. Well, yes, there have been some airstrikes in and around the khan younis area in Southern Gaza where people have said that theyve been told to go by the Israeli Military and they felt that that was a safe area. Or we can say is that as far as the idf is concerned, they say they do not target civilians, but they are going after terrorist targets and infrastructure. But we just know now with the way that hamas has been operating, hamas will all put its infrastructure , its rocket infrastructure, its rocket launchers and the like in the midst of these civilian communities. And as you saw in that report, mark, the photographic evidence that the idf say they have now or they believe demonstrates exactly that happening , rocket launchers that happening, rocket launchers right next to schools, kindergartens, mosques and even un compound there, mark. And, of course, it brings into question how long this crossing with the humanitarian aid will be able to operate and get lorries through , i think get lorries through, i think another 30 or so in the past few hours despite this explosion fairly near that Border Crossing i yes. I mean, it is just a trickle so far , 34 over the trickle so far, 34 over the weekend. And as you say, some weekend. And as you say, some more aid trucks in today. Weekend. And as you say, some more aid trucks in today. But more aid trucks in today. But thatis more aid trucks in today. But that is only a few percent, i think Something Like 4 or 5 of the number of trucks that would normally cross into gaza. Clearly there are exceptional circumstances. The israelis have some real concerns about many of these supplies falling into the hands of hamas. After all, they control the gaza strip and thats why youre not seeing, for instance , fuel trucks as yet for instance, fuel trucks as yet going over that border, because of the real concerns the israelis have that those fuel suppues israelis have that those fuel supplies will be commandeered by hamas. But while, yes, those strikes are still taking place in that area, that is just an added complication for those trucks going across and no guarantee of safe passage, which means the egyptians will often stop those aid convoys going across. Across. Yeah, i think we can just bnng yeah, i think we can just bring the live picture back in from rafah just to stay across the events with more smoke having been seen in the past half hour and as you say, i mean, both the egyptian and the aid agencies will be keeping a careful eye on that. But i just wonder what the position then in israel itself to actually run parallel to that with these reports that many people having come down from the north of israel , away from the border israel, away from the border with lebanon , that they too are with lebanon, that they too are finding difficulty in finding shelter and accommodation in Central Israel. Central israel. Well, they are. There is no doubt. You know, this is a country on a war footing. And they have taken many thousands of people from those communities in the south, around the gaza strip. And even in some parts of Central Israel and now increasingly people from the north as well. We had another 14 Community Community in the north put under a mandatory evacuation action by the Israeli Government yesterday. These people there in hotels and other accommodation in tel aviv and elsewhere, weve been filming today seeing some of those refugees as theyve gone to collect clothes that are being donated by businesses and by local people. And they are by local people. And they are going to be here potentially for some considerable time because there is no doubt that if that Ground Invasion begins in earnest in the coming days, its not going to be a quick operation. It will be operation. It will be a protracted operation in and those communities , particularly those communities, particularly around the gaza strip and in Central Israel , will be at Central Israel, will be at increased risk of strikes from hamas rockets. Mark in tel aviv for the moment, thank you for that. Back to you, of course, throughout the afternoon to keep everyone updated. Thanks very much, indeed. Now bring you some indeed. Now lets bring you some breaking were getting from breaking news were getting from downing street, which has indicated it indicated there are no plans, it says, give police more powers says, to give police more powers to address chants deemed to be extreme right after jihad to address chants deemed to be extreme right afterjihad or extreme right after jihad or holy war, comments that were apparently picked up in a video at a propane opinion rally. Now, the Prime Ministers official spokesman has said in the past few minutes some of the scenes will have likely been incredibly distressing for people to witness, to the uks witness, not least to the uks Jewish Community, who deserve to feel safe at must be an feel safe at what must be an incredibly traumatic time. But incredibly traumatic time. But we the police have we do believe the police have extensive this space, extensive powers in this space, and we will continue to discuss with them. So there is clarity in agreement about can in agreement about how they can be deployed on the ground. Press thenif be deployed on the ground. Press then if there were any plans to give police more powers . No, im not aware any. No lets get not aware of any. No lets get reaction now with the editor of the jewish news who can join us, richard farage. Richard, thank you for your time. Im just wondering what youre making of this were getting downing this were getting from downing street few minutes street in the past few minutes because, suella because, of course, Suella Braverman, home secretary because, of course, suella bravto nan, home secretary because, of course, suella bravto meet home secretary because, of course, suella bravto meet theiome secretary because, of course, suella bravto meet the meta secretary because, of course, suella bravto meet the met commissioner due to meet the met commissioner a little later well. A little later as well. I understood the Prime Minister is going to make a statement in the house later today and i was absolutely convinced that it would be to give the metropolitan police more the cps to more powers and for the cps to be a bit clearer in terms of if there arrests, that there there are arrests, that there would then prosecutions. Would then be prosecutions. Yeah, we understand it, as yeah, as we understand it, the mets position is , is that the mets position is, is that it had what they called were expert officers on the scene in terms of this video thats been relayed and Counter Terrorism officers who decided that there was no offence being committed did and then specialist crown prosecution lawyers also viewed the footage and agreed with that assessment. Assessment. Well, the word jihad was heard and i understand there are multiple meanings for it. But you know, the word rape is a botanical term for a type of oil. But we know what that means as well. And also the context that it was uttered. I mean, i think it needs to be very, very critically, clearly labelled here that hizb ut tahrir where the event took place, they are an offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood. They yearn to turn brotherhood. They yearn to turn our precious democracy into a mediaeval hellhole. And they are mediaeval hellhole. And they are perverting a peaceful religion into a poisonous ideology. Into a poisonous ideology. Thats the context that that word was heard. So im word was heard. So im absolutely stunned, shocked. And absolutely stunned, shocked. And i can speak probably on behalf of the entire Jewish Community when i say, quite frankly, we are just sat here aghast now at this new chapter. Yeah so im just looking at the again, these words from the Prime Ministers official spokesman. Incredibly distressing to distressing for people to witness, uks witness, not least to the uks Jewish Community who to Jewish Community who deserve to feel safe at what must be an incredible traumatic time. I guess from what youre saying and say seeing and others will say that seeing those dont feel safe. Well, did it look safe to you . Did that gentleman waving that black flag look like somebody that we want to have on the streets of london . Anyone advocating for violent rampage . And make no mistake, and lets make no mistake, thats what the word mean is. Thats what the word intends. Thats what the word intends. Anyone advocating for that in london has no place in this country unless it is in a police cell. Is there a difficulty , is there a difficulty, however, that the police will have to allow pro palestinian protests and rallies in terms of their cause and to actually balance the sort of debate , if balance the sort of debate, if you like . And thats really very difficult for officers on the scene on to decide when that is actually breached. Actually breached. And i honestly dont think it is. I mean, i went to the pro palestinian rally on saturday just to observe it to have a look at the crowd. Yeah, the tone there is completely different to the one we saw at this hizb ut tahrir event. I mean, clearly, morally and logically, rationally. I mean, its just it screams at you. It its just it screams at you. It is not just possible. It is crucial to support palestinians while condemning hamas. That is the moral position of everybody, surely. And clearly what was taking place on the streets there under that black flag was not that so. So obviously, as weve seen with these pictures that were relaying now, the palestinian flag flown by people who flag being flown by people who believe in the free palestine cause as they say in their various posters and so on, that is different to the black islamic flag of jihad thats being flown at these other meetings. Meetings. Well, its varying degrees , well, its varying degrees, isnt it . I mean, on saturday you did see these flags saying , you did see these flags saying, you did see these flags saying, you know, five, six, seven, eight, israels a terrorist state. No zionism , israel must state. No zionism, israel must go. Israel is not real. I mean, obviously, these are deeply , obviously, these are deeply, deeply troubling messages , but deeply troubling messages, but they are not qatar qatar , they are not qatar qatar, torical. Absolute calls for shana torical. Absolute calls for sharia law on the streets of london. Yeah, im gobsmacked. London. Yeah, im gobsmacked. And i can only imagine that. Suella braverman the home secretary has not got her way in conversations with them. Well, as we understand it, she is due to meet sir mark rowley from the met, and i think her phrase was to call for the full force of the law to be used. But is that the difficulty . Were not quite sure of what the law says on this particular issue. Well clearly, theres not a lot of clarity here because obviously theres sensitivities and there are very, very people that are very, very good people that are very, very good people that are very, very good people that are very, very concerned on both sides. Sides. And we dont want to tar good people with about i mean , there people with about i mean, there are people on these rallies, people will have seen a medical student Poland Holding up student in Poland Holding up a banner keep the world banner saying keep the world tidy with a picture of the star of david in the bin. I mean, i wouldnt compare to her whats going on there. Thats thats just foolish ignorance. So there absolutely be absolutely needs to be a categorical line in the sand in terms where people are. But terms of where people are. But if you are a member of hizb ut tahrir, an offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood you want Muslim Brotherhood and you want to and you to call for sharia law and you wave flag and say jihad, wave a black flag and say jihad, what are you in our country . Right . And give us a sense as to how the Jewish Community party is feeling at the moment, beanng party is feeling at the moment, bearing in mind this daily barrage, if i can put it that way, of news coming from both israel and gaza and as you said, from other european capitals and other protests and so on. I mean , do you feel as if you are politically in a bunker at the moment . Moment . Its the worst , darkest, moment . Its the worst, darkest, most difficult days of my life. I mean, as editor of the jewish news, ive been on the coalface watching the trauma, the deep trauma and distress of the deep trauma and distress of the Jewish Community as anti semitic incidents go up by 1,300. Yeah, there was a big rally in Trafalgar Square yesterday , 15,000 jewish people. Yesterday, 15,000 jewish people. And it was for it was an event to bring attention to the 200 plus hostages that are being held currently in gaza by the Hamas Terrorists. And there was still trouble there. There were people screaming. There was an people screaming. There was an arrest. I mean, the undercurrent here is terrified , crying. I here is terrified, crying. I would just say that there needs to be a coalition of the morally sensible and morally literate here. You dont have to take sides. You know, we need to sympathise with with israel and what its going through. We need to sympathise with palestinian victims in gaza. Whats happening appalling, happening there is appalling, but enemies here but there are clear enemies here on both sides. And id say the on both sides. And id say the number one enemy, of course, is the horror that hamas is inflicting not only on its own people, but of course, on israel , israelis and jews. Yeah, Richard Richard farah, editor of the jewish news, thank you very much indeed for joining us here in the live desk and taking through that. Thank taking us through that. Thank you. More reaction, course, you. More reaction, of course, as we get details from that meeting Suella Braverman meeting between Suella Braverman and also and the met commissioner. Also coming up , and the met commissioner. Also coming up, well be live in brighton scotland. First brighton in scotland. First minister telling minister humza yousaf telling residents going to be residents its going to be a long road to recovery. And more warnings for nottinghamshire and elsewhere. Well have all the latest. Stay with Patrick Christys on gb news. Im gb news radio. Gb news radio. Well, welcome back to the live desk and well update you shortly on the flooding. Well be live in scotland and nottinghamshire too, which has also been suffering. And of course the continuing course, the debate continuing over change what can over Climate Change and what can be to alleviate the be done to alleviate the problems. Well, lets update you now. A company in north devon, which has developed a revolutionary system that it says power vehicles says could power vehicles cleanly, cheaply and effectively. Green Technology Using something liquid ammonia. Something called liquid ammonia. Well, theyre working in a prototype that, if successful, could carbon free could provide that carbon free fuel freight rail and even fuel for freight rail and even shipping our southwest of england. Reporter jeff moody has the details. The details. In a barn in rural devon, a Combustion Engine that could change the world. Its the brainchild of paul quickenden. Brainchild of paul quickenden. We were working on fuel Cell Technology about 20 years ago and using ammonia as our fuel source for our hydrogen because hydrogen is so difficult to store. Store. And we produced the worlds first pem fuel cell running off ammonia , which we were using to ammonia, which we were using to power mobile phone masts in off grid areas. The problem was grid areas. The problem was purely the cost. We couldnt make it economical , although the make it economical, although the technically it worked. It was just not economically viable and one day the penny just dropped. One day the penny just dropped. Why dont we just burn it in an engine and go back to internal Combustion Engine . Theres nothing wrong with internal Combustion Engine. Nothing wrong with internal Combustion Engine. Its fuel Combustion Engine. Its the fuel that be changed. That needs to be changed. So began decades of and so began decades of tweaking, adjusting and hoping the results the lutak ammonia hybnd the results the lutak ammonia hybrid system competitively pnced hybrid system competitively priced zero emissions and it can be refuelled in just two minutes. One of the reasons weve chosen ammonia as a fuel is it can be produced from renewables very easily and contains three times more energy than hydrogen. For instance , ammonia is for instance, ammonia is a colourless poisonous gas with a familiar and noxious odour. Its produced commercially via the haber bosch process, a catalytic reaction of nitrogen and hydrogen at high temperatures and pressure. 85 temperatures and pressure. 85 of ammonia is used in agriculture to mainly from fertilisers. Ammonia was once fertilisers. Ammonia was once used in making fridges when mixed with water. Ammonia can be environmentally friendly , so the environmentally friendly, so the potential co2 savings are vast. Potential co2 savings are vast. If you think of the industrial engine market, i mean, there everywhere. So no, i mean, there everywhere. So no, i mean the co2 savings run into the hundreds and thousands of tonnes every year. I mean, you know, its a very significant thing. I mean, we could replace any Diesel Engine globally and cut out all the co2 emissions from them, but that requires investment. Pauls company, btec, is currently in a funding round to move from research and development to establishing a manufacturing site. The hope is manufacturing site. The hope is theyll be able to supply it directly to industrial markets in the next five years. Jeff moody gb news some very green technology. Technology. Be there and well update you on how that gets on. Now lets just bring you the latest pictures were getting from gaza with more explosions having been seen a little earlier, especially at rafah. The significance being, of course, that more aid lorries are being allowed across the border. But allowed across the border. But the Israeli Defence force has revealed there have been some 320 airstrikes overnight and of course, more during this morning. The latest were getting from the gaza Health Ministry, which is of course, controlled by hamas, is that 5087 palestinian cars have been killed. Well, just to update you coming up, we are now expecting a statement from the Prime Minister at 330 where hes expected to reveal the uks latest intelligence assessment of who had fired the rocket which hit the hospital car park compound in gaza last week. Of course, he will remember that that was blamed originally on an israeli airstrike, and that was then brought into question by many others. More on that at 330. Lets get the latest headunes 330. Lets get the latest headlines now, though, with. Ray headlines now, though, with. Ray thanks, mark. Good afternoon. Its just turned 1233. And as weve been hearing, we start with that breaking news, gb news understands that the Prime Minister is set to make a statement this afternoon, regards who uk agencies believe was responsible for a rocket which caused an explosion at a gaza hospital. Well, it comes as gaza hospital. Well, it comes as Israeli Military say its Ground Forces have now mounted limited raids into gaza and launched airstrikes targeting Palestinian Militants. The Israel Defence forces released aerial footage of several blasts at various compounds overnight confirming that theyve hit 320 targets in the last 24 hours. Well there the last 24 hours. Well there are unconfirmed reports that a third convoy of aid has now left for gaza. Explosions can be seen for gaza. Explosions can be seen across the rafah border in Southern Gaza as the israel hamas war continues. It israel hamas war continues. It comes after a second convoy of 41 trucks carrying humanitarian suppues 41 trucks carrying humanitarian supplies went through the rafah crossing last night. Despite that latest delivery, the un says the current volume of aid is just 4 of the usual daily average of sir sir keir starmer says the government may have to toughen laws on hate crime. The toughen laws on hate crime. The labour leader was speaking after the met Police Decision not to arrest protest leaders calling for jihad against israel. Demonstrations over the weekend and the home secretary says she will challenge that decision at a meeting with the met. Commissioner downing street has indicated there are no plans to give police more powers to address chants deemed to be extremist. Sir keir starmer says preventing hate is everyones responsibility. Responsibility. He obviously the police are independent operationally, so these are decisions for them. But i think there have already been identified some gaps in the law. In a been identified some gaps in the law. In a previous been identified some gaps in the law. In a previous review under law. In a previous review under this government, and i think the government needs to look at whether there are gaps in the law that need to be addressed as well. The obligation well. But the primary obligation is us to drive down, is on all of us to drive down, to clamp down on hate crime, because that has a huge impact all of the time. But particularly at the moment. And scotlands first minister has told a resident of Brechin Brechin , rather it will be brechin, rather it will be a long road to recovery from severe flooding that hit the town. Humza yousaf is visiting the area after it was devastated by the storm babet floods and the river south esk burst burst its banks. Two people have died its banks. Two people have died in scotland , including wendy in scotland, including wendy taylor, who was swept away in glen esk. You can find more on glen esk. You can find more on all of those stories by visiting our website, gbnews. Com. Days from three on. Gb news live days from three on. Gb news live desk. Lets bring you live pictures were getting from the rafah crossing from egypt into Southern Gaza. It does appear Southern Gaza. It does appear that more trucks have been or are being let through. That would be effectively the third convoy. But still in very limited numbers in the dozens or scores compared to what had been some 450 trucks a day coming across before the outbreak of war. And still a question mark as to whether any fuel supplies will be getting over the border beanng will be getting over the border bearing in mind what israel has said about hamas taking those fuel supplies and using it for offensive purposes. Indeed the Israeli Military have just issued or issued a statement this morning to say we are monitoring to ensure hamas does not get gaza aid. And we are ready to mount operations to prevent such seizure. And in prevent such seizure. And in fact, we have seen explosions in rafah with airstrikes, we believe , a little earlier. But believe, a little earlier. But well keep you updated on that changing position there with, of course, more humanitarian aid desperately needed, according to the hospitals , three days fuel the hospitals, three days fuel left to power their generators at the al shifa hospital. They report said, well, back here in the uk, the ramifications of the conflict not seen on the streets. Thousands marching in london on saturday to protest to israels incursion and bob melvin bombardment, rather, into gaza. But then videos surfacing onune gaza. But then videos surfacing online appearing to show a man calling for jihad online appearing to show a man calling forjihad , holy war and calling for jihad, holy war and Suella Braverman recent pledges to get tough on such militant protesters. Well, the home secretary is now to question the mets commissioner, sir mark rowley, this afternoon on why more was not done to arrest those preparing to call for violence. Lets speak now to violence. Lets speak now to former met officer peter bleksley, who joins us in the studio once more. Peter, im just looking at what the Prime Ministers spokesman said a few minutes ago in downing street that the police have all the powers they need to deal with this. Yes. Yes. And of course, this yes. Yes. And of course, this morning in one of the National Newspapers , neil basu, former newspapers, neil basu, former head of Counter Terrorism policing , very Senior Police policing, very Senior Police officer , went public in saying officer, went public in saying that we raised this issue with the government, that there isnt sufficient legislation to cover the use of the word jihad. So i fear that the metropol police, the commissioner, sir mark rowley, and the government, through Suella Braverman, the home secretary , are going to be home secretary, are going to be on a collision course this afternoon as they have their meeting. I would very much like meeting. I would very much like to a fly on the wall. I hope to be a fly on the wall. I hope it doesnt not turn in to a very heated and unsatisfactory confrontation , ian, because when confrontation, ian, because when it does , it never ends well for it does, it never ends well for anybody really . Anybody really . Yeah. And decisions are made , yeah. And decisions are made, perhaps in the heat of the moment. Not with the best intentions. Absolutely. Because, of course, the police treasure their operational independence. Their operational independence. As you will hear, Senior Police officers, whether their bosses , officers, whether their bosses, the mayor of london, the mayor of manchester or a police and crime commissioner, they will always say operational independence must be ours. Assessing on the scene at the time. Indeed because they are the officers on the ground, the various ranks and levels and control rooms looking at the whole picture. And they do whole picture. And they do really kind of treasure that independence. Independence. And i guess the trouble is theres so much footage then thats posted online, online, and sometimes it perhaps doesnt show the whole picture or its a limited assessment or a limited viewpoint. But we do have the met saying that in this particular instance, there were specialist Counter Terrorism officers at the scene. They decided that there was no offence committed. But then that crown prosecution lawyers were also shown the footage and they agreed no offence could be identified in that footage. Identified in that footage. Well, there is an offence of behaviour likely to cause a breach of the peace. Okay. And thats a real catch all and covers an awful lot of things. Youre making a nuisance of yourself. Exactly and i throw that out there and there may be some viewers and there may be some viewers and listeners perhaps nodding in agreement that they might have perceived that behaviour as likely of the likely to cause a breach of the peace. Lets just boil down peace. But lets just boil down on this word jihad, if we may, for because the for a moment, because the dictionary ive used over dictionary that ive used over the weekend, one description is the weekend, one description is the spiritual striving against moral failings. And then if you moral failings. And then if you go down to the next description of it, its war in defence of islam. So there are two clear and distinct different interpretations. I, for example , interpretations. I, for example, if id gone to that protest on saturday, which i manifestly didnt but could have sidled up to a Police Officer and said those protesters over there, they need to be clamped. One description clumped as in thumped perhaps, or second one clumped as in brought together in a mass corral like kettling, for example. So youre getting to the situation where maybe officers have got to turn up there with with several different dictionary is with several different interpretations of this. One key word i use it to highlight the challenges that face the police. And im a very swift to criticise when i think theyve got something fundamentally wrong. But i think bearing in mind the size of the last two demonstrations, the last two saturdays, 100,000 people or more , no major outbreaks of more, no major outbreaks of violence, no criminal damage , violence, no criminal damage, rioting quietly amongst themselves. Ive written Senior Police bosses are going. Weve done all right. Yeah. Sigh of relief. However, one reflects if there had been a reaction to that cry of jihad had been a reaction to that cry ofjihad and thered been a counter action of some kind that then would have been a breach of then would have been a breach of the peace. Am i right in saying that if there had been some kind of altercation . Well, the met did actually put out a picture of that man who was seen waving a black flag with islamic islamic writing on it, which i cant interpret or translate. A picture of him was translate. A picture of him was put out yesterday by the metropol police on their social media accounts. And a few hours later they said that there had been an arrest and he was being prosecuted for a public order offence. So you see, this is very much the modern way of deaung very much the modern way of dealing with protest, film them , dealing with protest, film them, gather the evidence if you can, and generally speaking, dont wade in with your size elevens and your truncheon like we did back in my day. Film them, gather the evidence, identify them, and then prosecute them later. Right. And when youre doing that assessment, then looking at footage , do you have to bring in footage, do you have to bring in then if its hamas, for instance, which is a proscribed armed terrorist organisation and if theres clearly some kind of incitement to that, its different to the palace opinion cause of freedom, for instance, with the palestinian flag. Yes, quite possibly. But you see, most of that will be covered control room, covered by the control room, which lambeth in south which is in lambeth in south london, just over one of the bndges london, just over one of the bridges where the met police have a remarkable control centre with access to all the public cameras. So all the local cameras. So all the local authority cameras i used to do on the telly and such like yes, indeed, yes. In a tv show a long time ago. Yes and all of that. And so of course they have a bigger overall picture by the same token, i understand why the home secretary and others might have been enraged because there was, as i monitored social media traffic over the weekend, huge reaction. A lot of people were angry and theyre going, this is not multiculturalism. This is parallel cultures. This has parallel cultures. This has nothing to do with that. Im going to make you the met commissioner, sir rowley, commissioner, sir mark rowley, going meeting this going into that meeting this afternoon, what do you say to the home secretary im £250,000 year. Im on £250,000 a year. Im on £250,000 a year. The pay rise. Thank you for the pay rise. But thats sir mark rowley but thats what sir mark rowley is would say pretty much is on. I would say pretty much what ive said to you. There are interpretations the word. If interpretations of the word. If you as a legislator later as the home secretary want to get a bill pushed through parliament to make jihad or that kind of work, but that is very thats treading on dangerous territory. I just wonder whether his his card up his sleeve is the fact that the Crown Prosecution Service looked at this and agreed with the mets assessment. I strongly suspect somebody from the cps will be sitting alongside sir mark this afternoon. Afternoon. Thank very much indeed thank you very much indeed for that. And well obviously see what emerges from that for that. And well obviously see whaithiserges from that for that. And well obviously see whaithis afternoon. That for that. And well obviously see whaithis afternoon. Peter, meeting this afternoon. Peter, thank very much for being thank you very much for being with now lets update you on with us. Now lets update you on the latest flooding with the the latest on flooding with the met issuing Fresh Met Office issuing fresh warnings. Communities, warnings for rain. Communities, of course, across the uk trying to salvage the situation from massive flooding in the wake of storm babet residents in the most affected part of angus in scotland have been returning to their homes to find whats been called mind blowing levels of destruction. The first minister there, yousaf, visiting there, humza yousaf, visiting brecon where the storm had a huge impact, saying it will be a long road to recovery. Lets speak to our scotland reporter tony maguire , whos up there. Tony maguire, whos up there. And tony, we saw the pictures of the rain coming down and the rivers and they were in full flow. But of course, now the assessment where people have managed to get back in through the door. The door. Yes, thats correct. Mark ms3 , certainly its hard to believe that im standing near enough in the same spot, only this time and basking , basking in glorious and basking, basking in glorious sunshine as opposed to getting drenched by the full force of storm babbitt and certainly rivers street here where, you know , we reported on from at the know, we reported on from at the end of last week and the waters have now receded and been pumped away. It now looks very much like residents are going back and seeing the level of destruction. And certainly humza yousaf when he visited and spoke to residents today, even he was , to residents today, even he was, you know, admittedly taken aback by the sheer level of debris and both inside and outside. You both inside and outside. You know, we were permitted to go inside to one residents home. And you could see the tide marks effectively halfway up the wallpaper and the furniture strewn about as where it was floating in the water outside , floating in the water outside, of course, the stone walls have have been taken apart by the sheer force of the water. And now Angus Council, fearful that actually the level of water was so great that they feared that some residents may never be able to get back into their homes. Now, i asked i asked humza yousaf earlier on today what the first minister thought about the indomitable human spirit. First minister thought about the indomitable human spirit. And it indomitable human spirit. And it comes to times like these as well. Im here because i wanted to be very clear to the residents who have met, who have been into their homes to the businesses that have meant that the government is standing alongside our partners and Angus Council to do everything we can to support them. Given the devastation and the scale of the devastation and the scale of the devastation seen from devastation weve seen from storm babet. So we will do everything we can to support them. But i everything we can to support them. Buti have everything we can to support them. But i have been heart warmed my heart has warmed in the last few days when weve seen the scale of the community response. Response. Tony, i think it was that local councillor gavin nichol, who that assessment that who made that assessment that some may never get back into their i gather one of their homes. And i gather one of their homes. And i gather one of the problems is that of the other problems is that of those have been hit by those homes have been hit by flooding previously. Cant flooding previously. They cant get pay up flooding previously. They cant get pay up or get the insurance to pay up or even no insurance policies. Even have no insurance policies. Yes, thats correct. And i mean , the truth is that everyone mean, the truth is that everyone ive spoke to has a completely different story. And, you know, some are , you know, insurance some are, you know, insurance based and the woes of the burn at the top of brecon flooding last year and of course brecon being on the bank of the river south esk is partial to flooding despite those £16 million flood defences. And certainly one man defences. And certainly one man that i spoke to on late, early on friday, he said that his entire retirement pension had gone into a home here, a holiday home, and now he doesnt think hell ever see any of that. And hell ever see any of that. And hes looking back at his entire working life and looking at the devastation that hes been left as a result. Yeah counting the cost, literally. Well, tony, thank you for updating us there. Back to you a little later. But lets move down to retford now in nottinghamshire, which has also been hit by heavy flooding. Lets get the latest with our east reporter, will east midlands reporter, will hollis, there i hollis, who is there and will i gather shadow environment gather the shadow environment minister, reed was there minister, steve reed was there earlier and sort of indicated earlier and he sort of indicated despite about 11 million plus being earmarked for flood defences, only 50,000 had actually been spent there. Actually been spent there. Yes, thats been raised this morning from the shadow secretary. Were also expecting that Teresa Coffey, the secretary of state for the environment, is due on this street where we are down the road any moment now. Theres also the local mp Brendan Clarke smith, the local conservative there down here speaking to residents as well as councillors. And thats on one councillors. And thats on one side where there are terraced houses and people speaking about whats happened to them. But you whats happened to them. But you can just see in the background the level of devastation in the back gardens of some of the homes here on darrel road in retford over in the background, you can probably see a sort of conservatory type building which still has waist high water. And thats exactly the same along all of this row of houses where we are right now. And the river idle where we are in retford that reached its highest levels on record over the weekend. That on record over the weekend. That peaked at around 8 00. And the Environment Agency, working with the local council , has the local council, has recommended that there were evacuated zones and 500 or so people who had to leave their homes. Some of them spending time in a local Evacuation Centre inside retford leisure centre. Im told that the a lot of the water has subsided now from many of the houses, but of course down to dangerous levels. Was what was being warned against. Those were severe flood warnings, two of them for here retford. There was also three in derbyshire over the weekend. Now all of those severe flood warnings have been downgraded to just flood warnings. There are at least a hundred of them still in the uk right now, but it has been raised. Why these areas where it was known that there was a flood risk didnt have the proper funding in place or whether the funding was there enough . Bassetlaw District Council earlier this year actually complained to the Environment Agency after £250,000 worth of flood defences. As the beck here in retford were completely scrapped. So its all also while people are incredibly upset about the damage thats been done to them, theyre also wondering whether this could have been prevented. Mark yeah, and of course the other thing as we were talking to tony, some of these houses been hit previously and therefore the insurance is not in place or they wont be paying out again time round. Out again the second time round. Yes, it looks like that could be the case with a lot of these areas that get flooded quite regularly. I dont know whether thats to going be the case here in retford. It seems that some in retford. It seems that some people are going around with clipboards speaking to the residents. Whether that indicates local indicates theyre from the local council from a local council or from a local Insurance Company checking to see what the damage is , i just see what the damage is, i just dont know. But it is one of those fears, isnt it . Whether people can get insured in properties where there is regular it seems, regular flooding and it seems, doesnt that a of doesnt it, mark, that a lot of these places that have flooded in recent years seem to be getting flooded more regularly . Getting flooded more regularly . One of the places that the Environment Agency is working right in the midlands right now in the midlands is a place bewdley. Remember place called bewdley. I remember only reporting on floods there along the river severn, which is the biggest river only the countrys biggest river only a ago. And at that time one a year ago. And at that time one gentleman told me that this is something that was a once in a hundred year flood and now it happens again every year. So its certainly a big challenge for the people that already live in these homes, that live in these communities, but also for these communities, but also for the insurance companies, which have weigh up whether they have to weigh up whether they can whether people can pay out and whether people can pay out and whether people can get what they actually need, which is ultimately be the right level in an area thats level of cover in an area thats prone flooding. Prone to flooding. Protection indeed. Yeah, some protection indeed. Will, for the moment. Will, thank you for the moment. Back course, as we back to you. Of course, as we see government ministers and see the government ministers and the descending there the mps descending there a little later. But thanks for updating also coming up, updating us. Also coming up, well latest well update you on the latest situation israel. All the situation in israel. All the latest assessment is at least 400 palestinians have been killed in the last 24 hours, according to the Health Ministry run by, of course, hamas and israel says more ground incursions on the way good afternoon. Its 1 00. Good afternoon. Its 1 00. Youre with a live desk here on gb news. And coming up this monday lunchtime, more trucks carrying vital aid are lining up at the rafah crossing between egypt and gaza as israels military reveal theyve been launching raids into the territory last night. They now believe 222 hostages are being held there. Well, here the home secretary is to challenge the met Police Commissioner over a decision not to arrest pro Palestinian Protesters calling for jihad pro Palestinian Protesters calling forjihad and glorifying hamas. But downing street has indicated that it says police have enough powers to address the situation in flood warnings now expected to last into next week with hundreds of houses in the north still under water. And in scotland, first minister humza yousaf says residents in brecken , its going to be a long brecken, its going to be a long road to recovery. Road to recovery. And well be reflecting on the latest in the battle for man united and whether the fans can remain on side with the money. Men. First, latest headlines with. Ray with. Ray thanks, mark. Good afternoon. 1 01. Our top stories , gb news 1 01. Our top stories, gb news understands the Prime Minister is set to make a statement this afternoon regarding who uk agencies believe was responsive for a rocket which caused an explosion at a gaza hospital. It explosion at a gaza hospital. It comes as Israeli Military say its Ground Forces have now mounted limited raids into gaza and launched airstrikes targeting Palestinian Militants. Targeting Palestinian Militants. The Israel Defence forces released aerial footage of several blast at various compounds overnight confirming that theyve hit 320 targets in the last 24 hours. Well, there have been unconfirmed reports that a third convoy of aid has now left for gaza explodes. Now left for gaza explodes. Weapons can be seen across the rafah border in Southern Gaza as the israel hamas war continues comes after a second convoy of 14 trucks carried humanitarian suppues 14 trucks carried humanitarian supplies through the rafah crossing last night. Despite that latest delivery, the un says the current volume of aid is just 4 of the usual daily average. British charities are average. British charities are urging the government to ensure safe passage for refugees fleeing from israel and palestine. Organisations including the Refugee Council , including the Refugee Council, say rishi sunak should provide emergency measures, including medical evacuation options and a refugee protection visa. The groups also want the government to prioritise cases of israelis and palestinians already in the uk. Asylum system. Well, sir uk. Asylum system. Well, sir keir starmer says the government may have to toughen laws on hate crime. The labour leader was speaking after the met police decided not to arrest protesters, calling for jihad against israel at demonstrations over the weekend. The home over the weekend. The home secretary said she would challenge that decision at a meeting with the met Police Commissioner today. Downing street has indicated there are no plans to give police more powers to address chants that they deem to be extremist. Sir they deem to be extremist. Sir keir says preventing hate is everyones responsibility. Everyones responsibility. Obviously the police are independent operationally, so these are decisions for them. But i think there have already been identified some gaps in the law in a previous review under this government, and i think the government needs to look at whether there are gaps in the law that need to be addressed as well. But the primary obligation is on all of us to drive down, to clamp down on hate crime because that has a huge impact all of the time. But particularly moment, particularly at the moment, scotlands first minister has told a resident of brighton it will be a long road to recovery after severe flooding hit the town, humza yousaf visited the area after it was devastated by storm babet floods and the river south esk burst its banks. South esk burst its banks. Two people have died in scotland , including a woman who scotland, including a woman who was swept away in glen esk. First minister said hes going to do everything he can to help residents whove been left with nothing. Here because i wanted to be very clear to the residents who have met, who have been into their homes businesses that homes to the businesses that have the government have meant that the government is alongside our is standing alongside our partners in Angus Council to do everything we can to support them. Given the devastation and them. Given the devastation and the of the devastation the scale of the devastation weve from storm babet. So weve seen from storm babet. So weve seen from storm babet. So we will do everything we can to support them. But i have been heart warmed my heart has warmed in the last few days when weve seen the scale of the community response, not emergency response, not just the emergency services, those volunteers services, but those volunteers that have come together to that have also come together to answer for those whove answer the call for those whove been with virtually nothing i this is gb news across the uk on tv in your car, on Digital Radio and on your Smart Speaker by saying play gb news now lets get straight back to. Mark get straight back to. Mark welcome back to the live desk. Lets take you straight to the home office where sir mark rowley, the commissioner, is about to speak. Well, i think about to speak. Well, i think hes about to speak to the cameras , but we have a problem cameras, but we have a problem with communications. He is, of with communications. He is, of course, due to meet. But the course, due to meet. But the home secretary Suella Braverman to discuss the mets reaction to this footage where protesters were seen to be pronouncing jihad, which some say is a call to holy war. But the met say there are several interpretations. It has revealed that its specialist Counter Terrorism officers were at the scene and had decided there was no offence being committed and that the footage was then actually monitored by the lawyers from the Crown Prosecution Service who agreed with that decision. And then with that decision. And then about an hour ago the Prime Ministers official spokesman at number 10 said that they believed the police had all the powers they needed to deal with the situation. Well, more from sir mark, of course, as we re establish communications. But lets reflect that the Prime Minister is also expected to make in the commons make a statement in the commons later this afternoon on the strike on the hospital in gaza last week. You will remember that the Israeli Air Force was blamed for an air strike which was then challenged and well, overnight israeli Defence Forces say their Ground Forces have mounted more raids into gaza using both infantry and tanks. Using both infantry and tanks. They believe that 222 people are being held hostage there. The uns humanitarian agency in gaza, which is monitoring the situation , says thousands appear situation, says thousands appear to be returning to northern gaza after fleeing to the south because of the increased airstrikes. There have been more explosions near the rafah crossing in the past hour. Our security editor mark white has the latest in tel aviv, a warning that his report does contain some distressing images in gaza overnight, the most intense period of israeli airstrikes since the war with hamas began more than a fortnight ago. Fortnight ago. More than 300 separate strikes on what the israeli Defence Forces said were hamas tunnels , command centres and tunnels, command centres and other terrorist infrastructure. B ut other terrorist infrastructure. But the idf say their aerial campaign is being made all the more complicated by hamass cynical use of sensitive civilian sites to place their rocket launchers as theyve released aerial photographs, which israel says proves that launchers have been placed next to schools. One picture is said to schools. One picture is said to schools. One picture is said to show a launcher highlighted in red next to a kindergarten. In red next to a kindergarten. Others apparently show launch sites next to a mosque and even a United Nations compound. That a United Nations compound. That makes israels attempt to avoid civilian casualties all the more difficult. Despite might being warned to leave hundreds of thousands of civilians either cant or dont want to leave northern gaza. The hamas controlled Health Ministry says hundreds of people were killed in strikes over the weekend with close to 5000 killed since the war began two weeks ago. With troops still massing on the gaza border for many communities in southern israel have been evacuated. This is sderot , evacuated. This is sderot, eerily quiet. A ghost town as residents here fled or were moved out after the october 7th attack. They wont be back anytime soon. Many of those who fled southern israel have ended up here in tel aviv being put up in hotels and other accommodation. Most fled without accommodation. Most fled without their personal belongings. So these donation banks are critical in being able to pick up clothing and other vital suppues. Up clothing and other vital supplies. In northern israel, supplies. In northern israel, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited troops on the lebanese border and warned the Hezbollah Group that if it starts another front in the war, it would be the biggest mistake of its life. Overnight, israeli of its life. Overnight, Israeli Forces attacked a number of hezbollah cells it says were planning to launch imminent attacks on israeli communities and military installations amid the growing tensions right across the region , there was one across the region, there was one optimistic note with the first aid supplies crossing over into gaza from egypt at but only 34 trucks crossed at the weekend and just 4 of the number of aid trucks normally passing through the rafah crossing. Mark white the rafah crossing. Mark white gb news tel aviv. Gb news tel aviv. Lets get the latest now from tel aviv with mark and mark, clearly it is still a fluid and changing situation, but we do understand that this un car has been seen leading this convoy of empty trucks at that Border Crossing area , which would i crossing area, which would i think be effectively the third convoy, but Still Limited numbers compared to what, 450 a day that used to cross before the war. So yeah, its about 4 or 5 of the numbers that would normally cross. And there are reasons for that. The security situation is one, of course , given the one, of course, given the continued airstrikes and artillery fire in that area, but also the reassurances that israel hasnt really received that the aid supplies going over will not be commandeered by hamas. After all, they control the gaza strip and in particular the gaza strip and in particular the full fuel supplies is one area that the israelis are particularly concerned about being common deared falling into the hands of hamas. So a trickle to begin with. I think the hope of the aid agencies and governments in the west is that hopefully be there in the days ahead and that number can be increased. Increased. But yeah, butjust increased. But yeah, but just to underline the difficulties, weve had these pictures coming in of more explosions near that rafah Border Crossing. I think rafah Border Crossing. I think they suggest near the rafah refugee camp. So its still a very sort of active scene. And weve had these reports from the un to its seen perhaps thousands of people moving back from the south to go to the north where they were told to evacuate from. Evacuate from. Yeah, i mean , its very yeah, i mean, its very dangerous anyway , were really dangerous anyway, were really in the gaza strip of course, the Ground Invasion is going to target. We believe that northern target. We believe that northern sector, particularly around gaza city. And thats why the Israeli Military is urging people to go south. But that doesnt mean they are safe from israeli airstrikes because israelis say they are targeting hamas terrorism targets and they are also in the south of gaza, as well as in the north, although the vast majority of the firepower that weve seen with 320 strikes overnight has been focussed on that northern area. Focussed on that northern area. So relatively speaking, it is more safe in the south. But understandable perhaps, that some people have decided they want to go back home and an indication to from the Israeli Defence force that perhaps these ground operations that weve been waiting for , they have been waiting for, they have started, but not maybe in the way that were expecting infantry and tanks and what they call a sortie. So could this be the picture we get of these targeted raids rather than some big ground incursion. Incursion. I think thats absolutely right. Yeah, weve had a number of these raids involving small , of these raids involving small, reasonably small numbers of personnel in recent days. One last night in which an israeli soldier was killed and three others were injured when they were struck by by a missile. But theyre going in to try and take out hamas cells. Theyre also out hamas cells. Theyre also trying to gather intelligence once on where the hostages could be. More than 220 confirmed hostages. Now as far as the Israeli Government is concerned, it may be more , but they wait it may be more, but they wait for verified location that these people are actually being held hostage rather than people that may have been killed during the initial attacks on the 7th of october. Mark in tel aviv, thanks for updating us back to you, of course, throughout the weekend to get the latest out the afternoon, rather, to get the latest on particularly what happened weekend. But happened over the weekend. But lets reflect to that part lets just reflect to that part of that here the streets of that is here on the streets of that is here on the streets of london with the protests that took place in and the met took place in london and the met police questioned the police being questioned by the home this afternoon on home secretary this afternoon on their well lets go to their reaction. Well lets go to their reaction. Well lets go to the home office now where sir mark rowley has been speaking and gave a statement on the mets position in the past few minutes, with home minutes, meeting with home secretary, some of her ministerial colleagues and leaders cst, which is the leaders of the cst, which is the organisation that helps protect jewish from jewish communities from from threats and we all recognise that this is really unprecedented times. Unprecedented times. The convergence of , of the convergence of, of a range of issues starting from hostile states , the iranian hostile states, the iranian threats that have been pushed out across the world, including on to the streets of the uk with 15 threats weve seen here over the last 18 months. The horrific and gruesome terrorist attack by hamas, killing over a thousand jews, which is stirring up issues across the world, including here, and causing anxiety and fear and also aggravating our own terrorist threats here. And weve got over 500 cases of are related to islamist terrorists ongoing in the uk that colleagues are investigating. The growth in hate crime , hate crime against hate crime, hate crime against muslim communities in london is up threefold, but against jewish communities, its 13 fold compared to this time last year for this period. Thats a horrific number. And its not surprising that communities in that context are fearful and anxious. And thats what we were talking about today. On top of, of course, the protests, which sort of give vent to a whole range of different opinions. And range of different opinions. And i was explaining how we are absolutely ruthless in tackling anybody who puts their foot over the legal line where accountable to the law. We cant enforce taste or decency, but we can enforce the law. And weve made 34 arrests so far over the recent process. Weve got another 22 cases on the back of those where were searching for individuals, trying to identify people from photos and our counterterrorism teams have got 150 cases triaged out of nearly 1500 referrals, 100, 150 cases of behaviour online, which is of deep concern that were and were going after those, going after those individuals. So theres a massive amount of operational work going on and its important you can help, frankly, with making that visible communitiesthat visible to communities that were doing that because we really this. And the really get this. And then the conversation finished really around the line of the law, and its our job to enforce to that line. Its parliaments job to draw that line. And the thought that maybe events of the moment are illustrating, maybe some of the lines arent quite in the right place. There have been reports from Counter Extremism Commission Law Commission and the Law Commission and the Law Commission and the Law Commission and more recently from sirjohn commission and more recently from sir John Saunders with the manchester inquiry inquest, talking about that law needed to change to be stronger, dealing with extremism. And i know the home secretary and her colleagues are really charged with that. And thinking hard about a constructive about that. So a constructive meeting difficult times where meeting in difficult times where our and determined heads our sober and determined heads are required, where do are whats required, where do you think law is lacking you think the law is lacking around extremism . I think the around extremism . I think the law that weve designed around hate crime and terrorism over recent decades hasnt taken full account of the ability of extremist groups to steer around those laws and propagate some pretty toxic messages through social media and those lines probably need redrawing. Its probably need redrawing. Its a really difficult thing to do. If really difficult thing to do. If you look at the Counter Extremism Commission report, which i was involved in nearly three years ago, that has many examples in there. One of the things found are things we found was there are countries across the world who are got different are have got different frameworks have some frameworks which have some advantage. Mean, for advantage. His i mean, for example ut tahrir who were example, hizb ut tahrir who were protesting at the weekend and some of their protesters caused deep concern theyre in deep concern. Theyre banned in germany. Theyre also banned germany. Theyre also banned across most of the most of the muslim world, but theyre banned in germany. So there are frameworks are more frameworks which are more assertive some respects than assertive in some respects than ours. Theres ours. And i think theres lessons learned. But lessons to be learned. But thats and thats for politicians and parliament the line. Im parliament to draw the line. Im focussed, my colleagues focussed, me and my colleagues will keep being absolutely ruthless on enforcing the letter of the law and putting thousands of the law and putting thousands of extra officers out in communities to reassure people who are understandably fearful. Who are understandably fearful. Given events across given the ghastly events across the world. Thank you for this moment. Martin. Thank you. Sir. Mark rowley, right, sir. Mark rowley, there, putting bluntly, right, sir. Mark rowley, the|metsting bluntly, right, sir. Mark rowley, the|mets position bluntly, right, sir. Mark rowley, the|mets position thatjntly, right, sir. Mark rowley, the|mets position that they are the mets position that they are upholding what the law says they can , but clearly questioning can do, but clearly questioning whether law itself needs whether the law itself needs changing. You remember , of changing. You will remember, of course, Suella Braverman saying she police apply the she wanted police to apply the full the law. It full force of the law. It follows these claims of jihad being shouted at these various protests in london over the weekend. And the had earlier weekend. And the met had earlier said that own said that its own Counter Terrorism officers at the scene decided there was no offence and that offence being committed and that was up then by lawyers was backed up then by lawyers from the Crown Prosecution Service. But interesting there, sir mark rowley indicating that perhaps whole question about perhaps the whole question about the law on hate crime needed to be looked at by the politicians. Lets now speak to former head of Counter Terrorism at the mod, Major General chip chapman. Chip, thanks for your time. I know that your normal area of expertise in the military sense, but its interesting there. I think sir mark rowley was comments on the use of social media, perhaps as a weapon in this continuing war. Well, yeah, social media obviously goes across to the Mainstream Media and that can power lots of things. And he particularly mentioned hizb ut tahrir being banned, for example, in germany and not being banned here and hizb ut tahnris being banned here and hizb ut tahrir is Interesting Group tahrir is an Interesting Group because course , one of the because of course, one of the things thats spun of hizb things thats spun out of hizb ut tahrir is Al Muhajiroun and chowdhury. And we know, for example , that if you take example, that if you take a uneage example, that if you take a lineage through the Muslim Brotherhood, hizb ut tahrir , brotherhood, hizb ut tahrir, Al Muhajiroun, which been Al Muhajiroun, which has been banned and all its offshoots, we keep whack a mole. With keep playing whack a mole. With that get people who are that you get to people who are involved in terrorist incidents, particularly the particularly with the Westminster Bridge in london bndge Westminster Bridge in London Bridge got a real bridge one. So weve got a real intersection here between social media, how thats powered between hate crime, how that works and between various definitions. And it is a tricky area in what is jihad and not jihad. So greaterjihad, for example, is supposed to be the spiritual struggling when you you try and get purity within lesser jihad is the sort of call to arms. They are different things. Yes. We had this sort of rather surreal question as to whether police or anti terror ism officers had to sort of take a dictionary to see which particular definition of jihad was being expounded at. These these gatherings. But just to sort of look a bit further at the difficulties for all the Security Services , weve got Security Services, weve got hamas as a proscribed terrorist organisation, but then as you indicated, these things become quite sort of fluid with the various offshoots and other groupings that develop. Yeah it does. And of course there can be different parts of each organisation which are banned or not. So until 2021, hamas is military organisation was banned, but the Political Organisation wasnt and they only caught up in legal terms to that in 2021, which is why you see well you dont see hamas flags on the streets because most of the people are pretty savvy on these groups about where the law lies and that thats the way they kind of work. Now, some of these groups are actually fifth columnists. You know, youve got to remember that their ultimate aim is to bnng that their ultimate aim is to bring about a caliphate. That their ultimate aim is to bring about a caliphate. They bring about a caliphate. They are political islam. They are islamists, not islam in terms of those who just believe in peace and tolerance and all that sort of stuff. Not with your military hat on. I was just wondering what you made of the latest announcement from the with announcement from the idf with their News Conference is that theyd mounted these what they call forays and infantry call limited forays and infantry and tanks involved. Is this what and tanks involved. Is this what we think might be this ground offensive or ground operation . Not a big shock. And all, but something thats more targeted and limited . And limited . Well, thats certainly phase one. So defence minister galant has said there are three phases to this. The first phase is the aerial campaign with drones , aerial campaign with drones, artillery and air with air, with manoeuvre and the manoeuvre there is to destroy operatives and damage infrastructure before you get to phase two, which he called the Ground Campaign , but called the Ground Campaign, but actually at a lower intensity and eliminating pockets of resistance. So you could in fact resistance. So you could in fact see that raid and raids is not a mission verb. Its not there to mission verb. Its not there to seize or hold territory does to. Its either intelligence preparation of the battlefield or operational preparation of the battlefield for the main ground force invasion. But its also that in terms of trying to keep the high ground moral and psychological high ground , it psychological high ground, it might be that you have to use your Ground Forces for distinction in proportionality. Allied to military necessity, so you dont kill civilians who might be Collateral Damage othennise by using other means. Yeah, i think ought to reflect. I think rear admiral hagar used the word sortie. There is a sortie. So quite a specific term that you use using there. But to just tie in with what we understand from washington and the concern about the hostages, its interesting now that theres yet another detailed update on the number of hostages up to 222 now, they say , yeah, and amazing thing is they keep seeming to go up on almost a daily basis and that that does create problems in terms of this intelligence preparation of the battlefield. So i do think thats one of the main reasons that israel have not gone in in force, not that that its inevitable that they might do so. That that its inevitable that they might do so. I that that its inevitable that they might do so. I think, they might do so. I think, secondly, the humanitarian alleviation is part of that. Alleviation is part of that. Thirdly, i think theres still a need for some sort of diplomacy and more importantly, though, they still have lots of targets through their high value target and joint priority target list to go after before they need to do anything in a very a bigger if thats deemed necessary land sense. Right. So as yoav galant said, this could last three months. And youve just expounded there exactly why that could be a fairly protracted operation. Major general chip chapman, thank you very much for joining us with your assessment. Thank you. More, of course, thank you. More, of course, coming through as we get it. Also, well be updating you on the latest with the floodings storm babet and what its left behind. And fresh warnings as to being issued where well be telling you shortly. Patrick christys weekday from three on. Gb news. Three on. Gb news. Welcome back to the live desk. With many areas still assessing the impact of storm babet and the flooding and the met office now warning of more heavy rain on the way with more rain warnings and flood warnings, at least for people. Of course, have lost their lives after the storm. Hundreds more homeless with vast areas of the uk, particularly in scotland , uk, particularly in scotland, submerged. Well, brecon , one of submerged. Well, brecon, one of the hardest hit in scotland. The hardest hit in scotland. First minister humza yousaf, visiting the area this morning, saying it will be a long road to recovery. Lets get the latest with our scotland reporter tony maguire. And tony and even more detailed assessment from one local councillor that some people may not even be able to get into their homes people may not even be able to get of to their homes people may not even be able to get of the 1eir homes people may not even be able to get of the damagees people may not even be able to get of the damage thats because of the damage thats been caused. Been caused. Yeah, thats correct, mark. I mean, imagine the horrors and the terrible few days residents here have had, especially across the bottom end of brecon and across river street, only to be told that after the weather has cleared up that perhaps they may not be able to return home. Now, as a taster of that, theres still around 150 homes in and around brecon and angus that have no power. And thats why im right now outside the welfare food trucks. So this has been here really since over the weekend, and it started a few of the hardest hit places up in inverness. The owner was telling inverness. The owner was telling me a sub power station and then its moved its way down. It was supposed to move on from here over to forfar, but the weather was was so bad that it couldnt. And then of course, as it turns out, the local residents here will be extremely thankful that theyre here to hand out free food and hot drinks to many of those who need it. Some of the locals here have been speaking to in the last couple of hours. Theyve told me that its actually warmer out here in the sun is in their own sun than it is in their own homes. And now scottish and southern network, theyre Southern Energy network, theyre saying theyre still working hard. Compensation hard. Theyve got Compensation Plan place. But as you said, plan in place. But as you said, many residents just wont get to return to their own homes. Needless to say, the community is coming together and i asked humza yousaf what he thought about the communitys like broken, coming together at times like these devastating , like these devastating, actually, you know, ive hugged many a resident over the last hour who are completely devastated by whats happened in their own house, whats happening in their own communities. Communities. I have to say its also humbling, though, to see the scale of the community response. The has really pulled the community has really pulled in volunteers, people in together, volunteers, people giving time, their giving up their time, their money, clothing to help money, their clothing to help other people in need. And look, other people in need. And look, im well see much more of im sure well see much more of that because there is a long road to recovery ahead. Road to recovery ahead. They certainly the local council is here and on site and various clean up projects are undennay on the main street. But the town of brecon and in fact, greater angus and lower grampian has a long way to go in this road to recovery. Tony, thank you for updating us there. Well, lets move further south now to nottinghamshire. 500 people are evacuated in retford overnight. Lets speak to our east midlands. Reporter will hollis, whos and its not whos there. And will, its not just the clean up crews. We understand the politicians have been descending well been descending in force as well i yes, exactly. Just a few metres away from where i am right now. The secretary of right now. The secretary of state, Teresa Coffey, is speaking with local people that live on darrel road here in retford. This was the place where yesterday there was two severe floods warnings put in place by the Environment Agency. You can see in the background that theres still flooding behind me in these terraced houses. You can see in the background a conservatory like building that still has at least six foot of flood water and its the same for many of the houses here on this row. The river idle here on this row. The river idle peaked last night at around 8 00, but there are still hundreds of flood warnings here in this part of the country. The met office says still has warnings in for whether a yellow weather warning is in place right now. And you can just see from the peoples faces that live here on the road in retford how devastating it is. But what they are more than anything is angry that this has happened again, because its not the first time that this part of the country has flooded. Country has flooded. And very quickly, of course , and very quickly, of course, the shadow environment secretary saying , i think 11 the shadow environment secretary saying, i think 11 million the shadow environment secretary saying , i think 11 million year saying, i think 11 million year marked only 50,000 actually has been spent there. Been spent there. Yeah, i think thats what people are concerned about. Right now. The money had been earmarked for retford for this part of the country in bassetlaw. But whether its being spent in the right places, its a at least 50, £250,000 for flood defences around the beck here in in retford that was dropped last year at bassetlaw District Council said that they were really upset that that happened. Thats a labour run District Council and theyre saying that the Environment Agency should have been putting that money where it deserved to be. Yeah. Okay. Well, you yeah. Okay. Well, thank you for that. Difficult for that. Some difficult questions and tyrese in questions and tyrese coffee in these coming moments. Back to you little later. But lets you a little later.

Theyve been relocated several times , but say theyve been times, but say theyve been given no indication of when they might be able to find a permanent base. Lisa hartle has the details. The details. Piotra. His two sons and wife have been housed in various travel lodges for 14 months after their property burnt down. But after being told they would have to move to yet another hotel in another borough, he said hed camp outside Enfield Council until someone met with him. Im feeling bad for my family, i feeling very bad for all my family. Sometimes im feeling im like, im not a human. Im like homeless person. Im like lower category , like lower category category, like lower category person. And my family also in person. And my family also in april, i first filmed with the family in enfield. Family in enfield. Piotr is a wheelchair user and so needs adapted accommodation. Accommodation. I want to be like escape from escape from the hotel , from the escape from the hotel, from the hotel room. I feel like im hotel room. I feel like im arrested there and im trying to escape and save my family. Matt escape and save my family. Matt burns from a Housing Charity says the number of People Living in temporary accommodation is shocking. We have around 3400 families living in temporary accommodation of some sort in enfield families and about 5000 children. So registered as homeless, living in temporary accommodation. And its anything but temporary. So 80 of those families have been in that accommodation for longer than two years. So its not temporary, but they might be asked to leave at any moment. So asked to leave at any moment. So its very unsettling to be in that kind of situation and particularly in the Hotel Accommodation that people are finding themselves in now. But finding themselves in now. But we just simply dont have enough social rent, Affordable Homes for people to move into. For people to move into. In a statement, Enfield Council said weve explored a number of avenues to find the bychowski family suitable accommodation, but Larger Properties that are adaptable are exceptionally difficult to find. And there are other families in similar situations. This is a National Housing challenge problem we continue to work with. Mr borkowski and our Housing Providers and partners to help find suitable accommodation as soon as possible. The council arranged a more suitable hotel for piotr and his family until mid november. So for now, piotr left Enfield Council with his tent , Enfield Council with his tent, hoping a permanent place can be found soon. Lisa hartle gb news enfield. Enfield. Now lets update you after that meeting between the home secretary Suella Braverman and the met Police Commissioner sir mark rowley, where he was being summoned effectively to answer for the mets behaviour over these protests and the jihad being caught for on the streets of london. Well, in the past half hour hes been speaking outside the home office to say that the met police would be ruthless in tackling anyone who, as put their over as he said, put their foot over the said that line the line, but said that line must be drawn by parliament, not Police Officers. Lets get more with peter kirkham, a former met senior investigating officer who can join us now. Peter, he was sticking to his guns really in terms of the fact that i think they were dealing with 150 cases onune they were dealing with 150 cases online on that showed deep concern. But in terms of the protests on the streets , i think protests on the streets, i think the met has already indicated that senior Anti Terrorism officers were on the scene and decided no offensive or no offence , rather, had been offence, rather, had been committed. Committed. Yes, indeed. Good afternoon. Yes, indeed. Good afternoon. Um hes sticking to his guns because basically what hes saying is right. It it is for parliament to set out what the offences are are and to set out the terms and conditions that go with them and any defences that might be available and any definitions they wish to add in terms of any particular word. And when it comes to interpret saying that law , um, Parliament Saying that law, um, parliament also sets the terms and conditions on which the police collect. And so what we have is a very complex area of law, just ordinary protest, take it out the, the terrorism sort of aspects. Its just ordinary law aspects. Its just ordinary law is incredibly difficult to apply in the context of a protest or pubuc in the context of a protest or public assembly. In the context of a protest or public assembly. Um, in the context of a protest or public assembly. Um, because not public assembly. Um, because not only have you got the technicalities of the offences which which require for instance, usually words and or symbols which are threatening , symbols which are threatening, abusive and sometimes insulting as well. Um intending, yeah. As well. Um intending, yeah. I think the other thing is some sort of harassment, alarm distress or incite violence. Distress or incite violence. I was going to say youve also got. Yeah. Inside youve also got a sort of expression. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That people have plus the need to arrest, all of which is set by parliament. Yeah. And incitement to racial or religious hatred as well as the other thing. But is this sort of surreal situation where were being told there are five dead missions of jihad , five dead missions of jihad, which the police can apply . Which the police can apply . Youve always got this sort of car tune, if you like, of a Police Officer with a couple of dictionaries at the protest trying to work out which jihad theyre referring to for sure, because what the police need to do is if its a public order act offence, theyve got to say that the words or actions or the things displayed are threatening or or abusive or sometimes insulting. Um , and therefore you need to um, and therefore you need to know what any word that is used by the protesters in this case jihad is actually meant to portray now the surrounding circumstances may add something to that. Yeah, but you may end up relying on what the person says they meant it to mean. Says they meant it to mean. The other aspect to this is that the met said that after the officers had decided there was no offence, it was referred then to lawyers from the Crown Prosecution Service. They agreed with that assessment that there was no offence. So one wonders why the home secretary decided to push it even further for frankly, because she either doesnt understand the law as it stands or she does understand the will all perfectly well. But for her own interests, she wishes to transfer the blame for the fact thousands of people werent arrested to the police , werent arrested to the police, and either of those is not a good place to be. Hence perhaps the statement from sir mark rowley immediately after that meeting. But we shall see what the politicians come up with. Clearly, its a battle still being waged by both sides. Peter kirkham, former met officer , kirkham, former met officer, thanks very much for your time. Thank you. Now lets break away to sport and reflect that Manchester United well , the Manchester United well, the whole of manchester actually came together of course, to grieve one of this most legendary players , sir bobby legendary players, sir bobby charlton, over the weekend. But that dispute continuing within the club over who gets to take it over at the business front. Of course, the man who withdrew from the race earlier this month , sheikh jassim, reportedly accusing heirs of accusing the glazer heirs of never to sell the club never wanting to sell the club and using the process. Indeed to increase its valuation and sell minority shares at a higher price. In a letter of complaint to discuss this, lets speak to sports broadcaster or is it business journalist aidan magee . You can join us. Its sort of its going tipping from a sports story to a business story. Now, isnt it . Well, thats inevitable given the value and the scale and the size of Manchester United. They are name in world are the stellar name in world football. Still, even they dont win trophies, not trophies win trophies, not major trophies anymore. Now, sir james anymore. Now now, sir James Ratcliffe ineos , it looks ratcliffe of ineos, it looks like bid of around 1. 4, 1. 5 like his bid of around 1. 4, 1. 5 billion values for 25 control of the club values the entire entity around £6 billion. Now if you contrast that to sheikh jassim, he valued the club at 5 billion up front plus a billion to wipe out the debts and one just over 1 billion to wipe out the debts and one just over1 billion to improve just over 1 billion to improve the stadium and the training ground. So they might. However, this often been said that the glazers dont actually want to relinquish that much control. This might prove expedient for them, the ratcliffe because them, the ratcliffe bid, because it in control of it leaves them in control of football matters. So that takes the heat away from when things go right . It also go wrong, right . But it also increases. Also leaves them increases. It also leaves them still in major majority still in major or majority control of the club. And dont forget, its hugely commercially successful. It could be worth successful. It could be worth more in five years time than it is now. In fact. So, i mean, this is confusing me even further because i thought sir jim was understanding that have understanding that he would have control the club itself, the control of the club itself, the direction of the even direction of the club, even though still be though the glazer would still be holding strings the holding the Purse Strings in the background term that background long term mark, that would strategy. Would be the strategy. But i think that just but i think that might just be placate some supporters. Be to placate some supporters. Its going to be a staged takeover, told. Stage takeover, were told. But stage takeovers, that takeovers, i mean, does that mean that is going to be mean that 25 is going to be given up in next two years given up in the next two years and another 25 years after and another 25 two years after that . Timescale for that . Theres no timescale for this. If, when, and this. Its if, when, how and neven this. Its if, when, how and never. And what will never. And so thats what will frustrate supporters who frustrate the supporters who wanted full sale. Of them wanted a full sale. Most of them were that. Were clear on that. Well, was going to say, let well, i was going to say, let me you bluntly, how much do me ask you bluntly, how much do the fans hate the glazers . They the glazers. A they hate the glazers. A great would they great deal. I would say. They protest regularly outside of matches. A recent matches. And its not a recent thing. Theyve theyve thing. Theyve been theyve been protesting probably about protesting probably since about 15 would have 15 years ago. I would have thought they loaded debt on a very thats very profitable club and thats have a position now. Have to be in a position now. They cant compete with the cities chelsea how cities and the chelsea and how much that affected the club much has that affected the club on the pitch . You as we say, at you know, as we say, at a time when theyve all come together over the weekend to remember days the remember the glory days and the holy triumvirate and best holy triumvirate of law and best and in those heady and charleton in those heady days late 60s. Days of the late 60s. Well, covering them up well, i was covering them up there in just over ten years ago. Now and the feeling up there in just over ten years ago. Iamongd the feeling up there in just over ten years ago. Iamong thee feeling up there in just over ten years ago. Iamong the journalists there in just over ten years ago. Iamong the journalists and there among the journalists and ive travelled the ive travelled all over the world with them. Mark was that as soon as sir ferguson as soon as sir Alex Ferguson departed, they run into departed, they were run into trouble the pitch. Dont trouble on the pitch. So i dont think glazers have done too think the glazers have done too much off the pitch wrong. It think the glazers have done too muc makes|e pitch wrong. It think the glazers have done too muc makes money. Wrong. It think the glazers have done too muc makes money. But1g. It think the glazers have done too muc makes money. But thet still makes money. But the stadium one of the stadium from being one of the meccas of english football is now in a sad state repair. Now in a sad state of repair. They even guarantee to they couldnt even guarantee to participate with participate in the euros with the and that was the stadium and that was announced the last or so announced in the last year or so because not up to scratch. Because its not up to scratch. Theres the roof that theres a hole in the roof that the owners wont wont fix that certainly needs a bit of a laughing stock. Course, laughing stock. And of course, they havent. Gone they havent. Theyve gone through havent through managers who havent been with the been able to work with the glazers, because they glazers, mainly because they cant with the funding glazers, mainly because they cant the with the funding glazers, mainly because they cant the road vith the funding glazers, mainly because they cant the road ah the funding glazers, mainly because they cant the road at manchesterg across the road at Manchester City neighbours. Yeah, city and noisy neighbours. Yeah, exactly. Thats what exactly. Thats what thats what i when fergie called i was there when fergie called them that 2009in south africa. Yeah. And eric cantona, no less. Know singing less. You know the singing career this is career saying, look, this is still club and, you still a great club and, you know, dont write them off quite yet. No, exactly. Well, i mean, hes hes always been in support of any takeover. Of the of any any takeover. David beckham as well famously wore the green and yellow scarf. And some kind and so there will be some kind of the concern that of change. The concern is that ineos, its personnel. Ineos, its about personnel. Their sporting their record in sporting entities last few years entities in the last few years with and with british with niece and with british cycling very good. Cycling has not been very good. As a welshman, im just now as a welshman, im just going to say this very carefully about south africa game. You about the south africa game. You do england. Well, do feel for england. Well, you do feel for england. Well, you do point in it, even though do one point in it, even though perhaps they should have closed the match well. Joe tweeted last night, put made intervention x last made an intervention on x last night we it and all night saying we blew it and all the responses below from rugby people and non rugby people was no, we see it like that. No, we didnt see it like that. South africa are world champions and we always say and they what do we always say about the top the elite sides in sport . We say they always find a way, whether it be boxing, football, tennis whatever. Football, tennis or whatever. And find a way and it and they did find a way and it wasnt pretty. Rugby, its not going in crowds. You going to draw in the crowds. You know, if were looking at it in in kind of sense. But they in that kind of sense. But they still won five games in a row. They didnt face anyone who was particularly of note, but considering where they at considering where they were at the of the tournament, the start of the tournament, considering were last considering where they were last december took considering where they were last dece after took considering where they were last dece after eddie took considering where they were last dece after eddie jones took considering where they were last dece after eddie jones left took over after eddie jones left eddie joness sin since gone on to done to australia and not done very well. There are players well. And so there are players as freddie steward, as well. Freddie steward, brilliant at full brilliant performance at full back. That that somebody back. I felt that that somebody that build around once that they can build around once more the when more do come to the party when it comes to farrell still a steady presence as well so again difficult the difficult start to the tournament he banned because tournament he was banned because of issue but of the tackling issue but goodness on saturday. Its the all blacks surely are going to win now. Not necessarily, no. I mean south africa. I think england tried copy irelands tried to try to copy irelands blueprint beating south blueprint for beating south africa. Worked, africa. It almost worked, i think, that team. Think, given that one team. Well, two teams, if you include france, came close to beating them. Ireland it. Them. Yeah ireland did it. I think new zealand, i make them slight well, think new zealand, i make them slight africa well, think new zealand, i make them slight africa are well, think new zealand, i make them slight africa are the well, think new zealand, i make them slight africa are the world south africa are the world champions. That champions. Mark just leave that hanging air anyway, epic hanging in the air anyway, epic match indeed. Very much indeed thank you very much indeed for joining us on that. But lets the weather lets reflect on the weather now because course, we are because of course, we are getting more warnings the getting more warnings from the met rain. Heavy met office for rain. Heavy downpours, course, could downpours, of course, could cause damage because cause even more damage because the absolutely soaked the ground absolutely soaked at the ground absolutely soaked at the the environment the ground absolutely soaked at the sayinghe environment the ground absolutely soaked at the saying 30,000onment the ground absolutely soaked at the saying 30,000 Properties Agency saying 30,000 properties need extra protection against rising water levels. Well, nathan rao can join us once more in the studio. So, nathan, what are we learning on the radar and things as to where that rain is coming from and when it will arrive . Right. So there are further met Office Weather warnings for rain. One has just been issued. Just now across wales. There is another weather warning for rain thatis another weather warning for rain that is kicking in at 3 am. Tonight. That lasts until 4 pm. Tomorrow. And that is up to two inches. More rain. And this is not in scotland. This is in derby, derbyshire, leicestershi re, derby, derbyshire, leicestershire, lincolnshire, nottinghamshire , yorkshire and nottinghamshire, yorkshire and the so sort of the the humber. So the sort of the east north east of england, east and north east of england, it is the only weather it really is the only weather story town at the moment is story in town at the moment is rain and flooding. Scotland has borne the brunt of it over the last as storm last three days, really as storm babet through. But now babet moved through. But now its everywhere did its everywhere and they did have epic rainfall, i guess have epic rainfall, but i guess the elsewhere is that the problem elsewhere is that the problem elsewhere is that the absolutely soaked. The ground is absolutely soaked. Just going to run off so its just going to run off into the river and tributaries and absolutely right. And also the rivers are now rising. The river levels are now rising. The river levels are now rising. The river levels are now rising to danger point. This is why were seeing english why were seeing the english environment out Environment Agency putting out a lot. There are more than 100 flood warnings and flood alerts in these rivers. In place around these rivers. And the river severn, and this is the river severn, the river dennent derby, the the river dennent in derby, the river nottinghamshire river idle nottinghamshire county declared county council has declared a Major Incident around this river because river are because the river levels are rising. You earlier, rising. And as you said earlier, unfortunate. There more rain unfortunate. There is more rain on the way and this is up to another two inches in parts. So how expert can you be in assessing which river will rise the fastest or where it will happen . Because i guess the problem is its a cumulative thing. Its a cumulative thing. And if and if this we have the answer to this, you know, it would science to would be an expert science to nail it down. The met office are very good in sort of pinpointing where the heaviest rain is going to the environment where the heaviest rain is going to and he environment where the heaviest rain is going to and theznvironment where the heaviest rain is going to and the scottish ent agency and the scottish Environment Agency, Environment Protection agency, they sort put weather they sort of put weather warnings, warnings warnings, flood warnings out along you along these rivers. But if you look the Environment Agency, look at the Environment Agency, the website, the Environment Agency website, youll flood youll see there are 110 flood warnings 111 alerts. Warnings and 111 flood alerts. And theyre just all over and theyre really just all over the whole of central, northern Eastern England. Theyre everywhere. So only advice everywhere. So the only advice to if youre travelling in to me is if youre travelling in these areas, i mean, we saw at these areas, i mean, we saw at the weekend, tragically this sort weather is dangerous. So sort of weather is dangerous. So if travelling, look at if you are travelling, look at these these Authority Websites if you are travelling, look at thes checke Authority Websites if you are travelling, look at thes check there. Ority websites if you are travelling, look at thes check there. Yeah, ebsites if you are travelling, look at thes check there. Yeah, the ites and check there. Yeah, the warnings are there for a reason. The warnings there for the warnings are there for a reason. Was a warning reason. There was a red warning at weekend. Dont issue at the weekend. They dont issue those lightly and that was there for reason. And there are for a reason. And there are further in place. Further warnings in place. So more come more, more rain to come and more, more, more, danger. More, more, more danger. Very quickly, any okay. And very quickly, any more waiting out there in more storms waiting out there in the atlantic . Unfortunately, yes. Month going this month is going to be dominated by the atlantic pattern of windy weather pattern of wet and windy weather coming this week, all this coming in this week, all this week toward the end of the month. Okay, thank for okay, nathan, thank you for that. Keep our weather that. And well keep our weather eye course, on that. Eye out, of course, on that. Lets just bring you back to gaza because were now getting pictures this of pictures of this number of trucks, quite sure how many, trucks, not quite sure how many, but the 450 a day but certainly not the 450 a day that used to cross before the war. But certainly there are more trucks now unloading at the rafah crossing with urgently needed aid. The estimate is that more than half a Million People have moved into the south of gaza from the north. With all the additional strain being put on the humanitarian resources there. But the un has also said that thousands more are moving back into the north because things are getting so difficult. In particular, the hospitals there say they have three days fuel left to keep incubators going and to Power Generators for operating theatres and so on. But israel says it will not be allowing fuel supplies across the border because it claims they are being taken by hamas. In terms of then using it for military purposes. In terms of military purposes. In terms of the number, the latest that we had from the gaza health authority, which of course is controlled by hamas, is that 5087 people have died in gaza , 5087 people have died in gaza, another 15,275 have been injured. Well have the latest coming up in the next hour with our man, marc white, whos in tel aviv with all the latest. Stay with us. Here very good afternoon. Its 2 00 and youre with a live desk here on gb news. Coming up this monday afternoon , well have the monday afternoon, well have the latest live from the rafah crossing. These are the latest trucks, the third convoy to start unloading vital aid after having travelled across the rafah crossing. And it comes as rafah crossing. And it comes as the Health Ministry in gaza, which of course, is controlled by hamas, says 436 people have been killed there in the past 24 hours as airstrikes continue here. The met Police Commissioner says his force is absolutely ruthless in prosecuting those who cross the legal line when protesting, but that the line must be drawn by parliament, not the police. Parliament, not the police. Flood warnings now expected to last into next week with hundreds more in the north still under water in scotland, the first minister humza yousaf, telling residents in brecon its going to be a long road to recovery. Recovery. And the battle to keep a roof over their heads. Well have the latest on the battle over no fault evictions. Labour accusing the government of foot dragging on the issue. First, the latest headunes on the issue. First, the latest headlines with. Ray headlines with. Ray thanks, mark. Good afternoon. Its one minute past to our top stories this hour. Gb news understands the Prime Minister is due to make a statement this afternoon regarding who uk agencies believe was responsible for a rocket which caused an explosion at a gaza hospital. It comes as Israeli Military say its Ground Forces have now mounted limited raids into gaza and launched air strikes targeting Palestinian Militants. The Israel Defence forces released aerial footage of several blasts at various compounds overnight and they confirmed that theyve hit 320 targets in the last 24 hours. There are unconfirmed reports that a third convoy of aid has now left for gaza. Explosions can be seen across the rafah border in Southern Gaza as the israel hamas war continues. It comes after a second convoy of 14 trucks carrying supplies went through the rafah crossing last night. Despite that latest delivery, the United Nations says the current volume of aid is just 4 of the usual daily average. Farage british average. Farage British Charities are urging the government to ensure a safe passage for refugees fleeing from israel and palestine. An from israel and palestine. An organisations including the Refugee Council say rishi sunak should provide emergency measures including medical evacuations and a refugee protection visa. The groups also want the government to prioritise cases of israelis and palestinians already in the uk. Asylum system. As weve been asylum system. As weve been hearing, the met Police Commissioner has told the home secretary that the government may need to toughen the law on hate crime and terrorism comes after sir mark rowley met with Suella Braverman to discuss the forces decision not to arrest protesters calling for jihad against israel at demonstrations over the weekend. Sir mark said horrific and gruesome attacks by hamas have aggravated our own terrorist threats in the uk with hate crime against jewish communities, up 13 fold compared to this time last year. Sir mark said. 34 arrests have been made so far. The force is trying to identify another 22 people from photographs. Photographs. Were accountable to law. We were accountable to law. We cant enforce taste or decency, but we can enforce the law. Conversation finished really around the line of the law, and its our job to enforce to that line. Its parliaments job to line. Its parliaments job to draw that line. And the thought that maybe events of the moment are illustrating, maybe some of the lines arent quite in the right place. Scotlands first minister has told resident of brecon it told a resident of brecon it will be a long road to recovery after severe flooding hit the town. Humza yousaf visited the area after it was devastated by storm babet floods and the river south esk burst its banks. Two people have died in scotland , people have died in scotland, including a woman who was swept away in glen esk, the first minister says hes going to do everything he can to help residents. Residents. Im here because i wanted to be very clear to the residents who ive met who have been into their homes, to the businesses that have meant that the government is standing alongside our partners in Angus Council to do everything we can to support them, given the devastation and them, given the devastation and the scale of the devastation weve seen from storm so weve seen from storm babet. So weve seen from storm babet. So we will do everything we can to support them. But i have been heartwarming. My heart has heartwarming. My heart has warmed in the last few days when weve the the weve seen the scale of the community response, not just the emergency services, but those volunteers also volunteers have also come together the call for together to answer the call for those whove been left with virtually nothing. Virtually nothing. A man who shot dead his daughters former partner and her former partners father has been sentenced to life in prison. A 67 year old, Stephen Alderton, committed the murders two days after a family court heanng two days after a Family Court Hearing involving his grandson. Hearing involving his grandson.

After getting the table, mr jones took advantage of newly found free time to sharpen his skills and rise through the ranks. He said, representing his country in malta will be his proudest achievement. This is gb news achievement. This is gb news across the uk on tv in your car, on Digital Radio and on your Smart Speaker by saying play gb news. Now lets get straight back to. Mark wray. Back to. Mark wray. Thanks very much indeed. So Prime Minister rishi sunak expected to make a statement in the house of commons later this afternoon on that gaza hostage postal strike last week. Remember, it was initially blamed by many on an israeli airstrike, was then airstrike, but that was then challenged. Will the israel challenged. Will the Israel Defence force that Defence Force says that overnight infantry and overnight light infantry and tanks have mounted ground sorties into gaza , where they sorties into gaza, where they now believe that 222 hostages are being held there. Our security editor, mark white has the latest from tel aviv. And a warning that his report does contain some distressing images in gaza. In gaza. Overnight, the most intense penod overnight, the most intense period of israeli airstrikes since the war with hamas began more than a fortnight ago. More more than a fortnight ago. More than 300 separate strikes on what the israeli Defence Forces said were hamas tunnels , command said were hamas tunnels, command centres and other terrorist infrastructure. But the idf say their aerial campaign is being made all the more complicated by hamass cynical use of sensitive civilian sites to place their rocket launchers as theyve released aerial photographs, which israel says proves that launchers have been placed next to schools. One picture is said to schools. One picture is said to schools. One picture is said to show a launcher highlighted in red next to a kindergarten. In red next to a kindergarten. Others apparently show launch sites next to a mosque and even a United Nations compound. That a United Nations compound. That makes israels attempt to avoid civilian casualties all the more difficult. Despite might being warned to leave hundreds of thousands of civilians either cant or dont want to leave northern gaza. The hamas northern gaza. The hamas controlled Health Ministry says hundreds of people were killed in strikes over the weekend with close to 5000 killed since the war began two weeks ago. With troops still massing on the gaza border for many communities in southern israel have been evacuated. This is sderot , evacuated. This is sderot, eerily quiet. A ghost town as residents here fled or were moved out after the october 7th attack. Think they wont be back any time soon . Many of those who fled southern israel have ended up here in tel aviv being put up in hotels and other accommodation. Most fled with their personal belongings. So these donation banks are critical in being able to pick up clothing and other vital suppues. Up clothing and other vital supplies. In northern israel, supplies. In northern israel, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited troops on the lebanese border and warned the Hezbollah Group that if it starts another front in the war, it would be the biggest mistake of its life. Overnight, israeli of its life. Overnight, Israeli Forces attacked a number of hezbollah cells it says were planning to launch imminent attacks on israeli communities and military installations amid the growing tensions right across the region. And there was across the region. And there was one optimistic note with the first aid supplies crossing over into gaza from egypt , it but into gaza from egypt, it but only 34 trucks crossed at the weekend and just 4 of the number of aid trucks normally passing through the rafah crossing. Mark white gb news tel crossing. Mark white gb news tel aviv. Aviv. Lets get the latest with mark in tel aviv. And mark on that issue of the rafah crossing, we have seen more trucks in this past hour or so coming through with aid. But i guess that doesnt include fuel for the reason that the Israeli Defence force says the hamas forces have been taking that fuel and using it for military purposes. Purposes. Thats a big concern for the israeli Defence Forces. The fact that, of course the gaza strip is controlled by hamas, anything that enters that strip could be commandeered by hamas and fuel in particular could be a vital component in working the machinery thats used to make the rockets that once again today are coming over into israel. Weve had about 14 hours or so where no rockets have come over unusually. And then just over unusually. And then just about lunchtime today, they started up again in earnest. Weve had had significant barrages is in southern israel and also around the gaza strip. And just in the last half hour, reports of a uav in the north of the country, a drone that was launched from lebanon that had gone down the coastline and was coming into an area just north of haifa that was intercepted and taken out. So all of the usual activity, sadly, in terms of the rocket and drone attacks is continuing. And the israelis is continuing. And the israelis to answer your first question. Ah, yes, very concerned that some of the supply cars could be commandeered and utilised by hamas desperate though it is needed for our people in gaza at the moment. The moment. But in terms of unusual activity, we had rear admiral daniel hager indicating that both infantry and tanks went into gaza overnight night. So one wonders if the ground offensive has begun, but not in the way perhaps we were expecting in a sort of shock and awe operation that weve seen previously. Previously. This was one of his regular briefings about the day to day activity and conduct being this war. And although , of course, he war. And although, of course, he is always asked at these briefings, when is the ground war going to begin . He said, well, in essence , it is taking well, in essence, it is taking place and has taken place for several days with small numbers of troops and armoured vehicles mounting raids into the gaza strip to try to take out hamas cells and also to look for any kind of intelligence to get a handle on where some of these 222 hostages might be being held, either above ground, below ground in and around gaza city. So many different areas that theyre likely to be in. And what are the situation then in tel aviv and the rest of Central Israel . We gather that there have been know significant numbers coming down from the north where the border with lebanon trying to find accommodation and some kind of shelter there as well. Shelter there as well. Yeah, well, the people of tel aviv have thrown open their arms. To really just welcome anyone from whichever part of the country they may have been evacuated from to the community here. The hotels are providing spaces for those whove been removed from southern israel. Now communities in the north as well, because just yesterday, another 14 communities in northern israel were put under a mandatory Evacuation Order and those people are coming down south into the likes of tel aviv as well. The hotels are up solutely full. Other sort of accommodation centres and peoples homes. There just welcoming people in doing what they can for them. There is this just near our hotel , actually just near our hotel, actually one of the sort of aid centres that people can drop or drop off suppues that people can drop or drop off supplies , clothing, food, that supplies, clothing, food, that kind of thing thats been handed out to those refugees as well. Out to those refugees as well. Mark in tel aviv for the moment, thanks very much indeed. Back to you. Of course, to get more. But lets speak now to the israeli Education Minister and a former fighter pilot, indeed, yoav join us. Yoav kisch, who can join us. Thank you very much indeed for your time. Been seeing your time. Weve been seeing more explosions down the south in rafah this morning. I guess a in rafah this morning. I guess a lot of people will be wondering what is the reason for that , what is the reason for that, beanng what is the reason for that, bearing in mind the un saying a lot of people now are moving from the south back up north because of the danger down there i israel is giving a safe path to the south. The north is the fighting zone. Its the dangerous area. And i dont think that anyone will move into the north. So this is very important to say. We, unlike the hamas, isis , we are separating hamas, isis, we are separating and were doing whatever we can to avoid uninvolved and citizen casualties. But we saw the hamas casualties. But we saw the hamas , the isis monsters , that they , the isis monsters, that they basically came to our border and slaughtered our people today. I dont know if your team has been there, but we released a videos that this death squads took on real time cameras to show their monstrosity. Its i cant even monstrosity. Its i cant even explain. Its so hard to believe explain. Its so hard to believe what you see on these cameras. And these are really monsters that are walking on two legs. This hamas, isis , which is this hamas, isis, which is backed by iran , is we have one backed by iran, is we have one Clear Mission and that is to destroy this organisation , this destroy this organisation, this death organisation. And thats what were going to do. Talking of death, you will know that the latest numbers coming from the palestinian Health Ministry, which is controlled by hamas, says that 5087 people have died in gaza , 15,275 have been in gaza, 15,275 have been wounded. Wounded. And how difficult is it for you to launch what is a horrible term . I know surgical strikes going after military infrastructure or hamas infrastructure or hamas infrastructure and not to hit civilians in gaza. Civilians in gaza. Were doing all the effort we can to avoid citizens in damage and killing of uninvolved people in gaza. You have to understand that hamas is taking them as human shield and aid as the us and other in world power. When they fought isis and they mentioned and decided that there will be no existence to isis , will be no existence to isis, those who were around isis , they those who were around isis, they were hurt. We are not trying to hurt them. Were calling them to leave the area on safe passes to the south. But and again, we are very determined to make sure that we will finish our task list. And im the Education Minister. I want to show you some of the pictures of the babies who had been kidnapped. These are three months old, nine months old, were kidnapped to gaza by the hamas. This is things you cant even imagine. They are held by monsters, monsters who actually we have movies of them cutting pregnant women to killing the women and the embryo. The embryo. Im just going to interrupt you because we have to obviously understand that some people may be very upset by details of what has taken place for obvious reasons. But we have reported on these i wont repeat the details, but i want to tell you one thing. Yeah. This is isis, Hamas Organisation an cannot stay. We organisation an cannot stay. We will eliminate them and whatever it takes , the israel people are it takes, the israel people are all decisive and understanding that we cannot have neighbours like this. But this this raises a very difficult question, doesnt it . We had the assessment from rear admiral hagar earlier that 222 hostage are now being held very detailed number and the danger to that is posed in terms of their well being. If you go in with a ground offensive or indeed you continue bombing. Indeed you continue bombing. So first, as you mentioned, we demand the immediate and unconditional release of these hostages. Were dealing with uninvolved people , babies, kids, uninvolved people, babies, kids, elder elderly, women and its crazy that we even have to speak about it. Its such a war crime thatis about it. Its such a war crime that is even hard to imagine. So this thing has to happen immediately. We will continue immediately. We will continue our efforts to make sure that hamas will not control gaza. This is for the benefit of both israel and the palestinians. Hamas is the main cause for the suffering of both people, and this has to be solved to speak to you as a politician rather than with your former defence role as a fighter pilot. There are those who have observed that it is very difficult to remove an ideology. You can certainly remove the leaders, you can remove the personnel, but removing an ideology is a very difficult thing to do and its the Collateral Damage politically thats caused with creating yet another new generation of terrorists who see the suffering within gaza. I i think even the within gaza. I i think even the Palestinian People need to understand that such isis behaviour , such not value to behaviour, such not value to mans life , cannot exist. Mans life, cannot exist. I think that only by our strong and committed action means this will be clarified to everyone. And i hope that this everyone. And i hope that this message that will convey not only to the palestinians, but also to lebanon, hezbollah and iran. So they will see that iran. So they will see that whoever is trying to kill jews because they are jews like they did in the holocaust. Yeah, this is not going to be an option anymore in the future. Anymore in the future. A sensitive question for you, because yoav galant has indicated this could last three months or more, that this could be a protracted aged war of attrition. How much political attrition. How much Political Support will your government still have after that three months, bearing in mind the criticism that Benjamin Netanyahu already has come under . I . I must tell you that nobodys deaung i must tell you that nobodys dealing with the questions. Whats going to be after the war . We have one mission and thats to destroy hamas, to bnng thats to destroy hamas, to bring back peace to the region, peace to our people , that they peace to our people, that they can go back to their homes as as quiet as it could be. So we are not dealing with politics. We dont think of the day after. I can assure you that there are going to be checking and investigation and everything is going to happen. But first and before everything, we have to win this war. Yoav kisch, israeli Education Minister and as we say, a former fighter pilot, too, thank you very much indeed for joining fighter pilot, too, thank you very much indeed forjoining us there in tel aviv here on gb news. Thank you. Of course, news. Thank you. And of course, well the latest , the well bring you the latest, the pictures that we were getting at that more trucks that rafah crossing. More trucks carrying aid have been entering gaza from egypt. Theyve been unloading , but certainly an unloading, but certainly an indication on not nearly the number of the 450 that used to cross daily before the war. But there we are. Thatjust coming there we are. That just coming up for you now. Well get an assessment with our correspondent mark white, whos there aviv, and update there in tel aviv, and update you. With us here on gb 7 00 this evening. Gb news the peoples. Channel welcome back peoples. Channel welcome back to the live desk with, im afraid , yet more warnings on the flooding. The met office issuing a yellow warning for heavy rain, which could lead to further problems for the east midlands, particularly. Well, of course, the storm hit scotland the hardest in recent days and brecon in particular. Were on a visit to there this morning. The first humza yousaf first minister, humza yousaf said will be a long road to said it will be a long road to recovery for the town. Lets get recovery for the town. Lets get more with scotland reporter tony maguire. And tony, to just underline exactly how difficult i think local councils have been saying , some people may not even saying, some people may not even be to get back into their be able to get back into their homes ever because of the scale of the damage. Yes thats correct, mark. And certainly the i was heanng and certainly the i was hearing this morning from local residents that, you know , the residents that, you know, the focus of the council is to get everybody out that is on the ground floor and apartments. Ground floor and apartments. Now, im actually on river road just now , and i dont know if just now, and i dont know if you can see over my right shoulder, theyve begun work kind of clearing much of the debns kind of clearing much of the debris on the road quite debris thats on the road quite a lot of rocks and gravel had had up when had been washed up here when that important wall broke. That all important wall broke. And certainly over the food truck where i was earlier with the council have set up and scottish and Southern Energy network have put on free food and hot drinks for local residents as 150 of which still have no power. Even four days have no power. Even four days down the line. And, you know, down the line. And, you know, there , you know, even there, you know, even questioning from the top floor or from this the first floor apartments , you know how things apartments, you know how things look. Because the real question here is over the stability of the road. And obviously the bank the road. And obviously the bank we saw here on thursday and friday that entire trees and chunks of the bank were getting washed away by the river. Now, again, that was an exceptional , again, that was an exceptional, you know, amount of rain that we saw last week. But at humza yousaf went on his visit here today. He was pressed seven times on whether should we be getting more use to this kind of weather and is this all tied in with the Climate Emergency . He so this is an unprecedented weather event , unprecedented weather event, 200mm of rain falling in north angus over the period of the last few days. And to put that into context, thats in excess of the monthly rain fall youd see in some parts of north angus falling in the space falling literally in the space of a few but i think our of a few days. But i think our adverse weather events are likely to continue given that we are in. The midst of a climate are in. The midst of a Climate Crisis right now. Its not something in the in the distant future. Were dealing with it right now. And therefore thats why weve put money and are why weve put money up and are prepared put funding up prepared to put funding up to help with future flooding prevention schemes. Im prevention schemes. But im afraid whole afraid to say the whole world, scotland included, will undoubtedly see more and more adverse, adverse adverse, significant adverse weather saw weather events like we saw over the few days. The the last few days. Given the Climate Crisis facing. Climate crisis were facing. An indication of so, tony, an indication of the in there, not just the job in hand there, notjust the job in hand there, notjust the clean up short term, but perhaps reassessment of the perhaps the reassessment of the flood defences, which clearly were over whelmed in many parts. There yeah, thats correct. I mean , yeah, thats correct. I mean, certainly we the £16 million flood defences here were built to withstand an extra 3. 8m above the average river level. And yet the average river level. And yet even though there were less than the five metres that are projected 4. 4m rose up. But indeedit projected 4. 4m rose up. But indeed it was actually the swell of the water. It was the strength of the current that broke through the wall that behind me, which has now been packed up with huge one tonne sandbags. And certainly the sandbags. And certainly the residents here are wondering , residents here are wondering, well, if £16 million of flood defences arent enough, yeah, what is the way out of this . And certainly some questioning whether theyll stay here in brecon. Indeed. Angus but, you know, the emphasis , this again know, the emphasis, this again being put on this was an extraordinary weather event. And while it may happen again, preparation is always key. Yeah. And of course , those yeah. And of course, those once in 100 year events seem to be more and more regular, dont they . But tony in scotland, thank you for that. Now lets move south now to retford in nottinghamshire, theyre nottinghamshire, because theyre being warned there could be further there well. Being warned there could be furthwspeak there well. Being warned there could be furthwspeak ouriere well. Being warned there could be furthwspeak ouriere midlands lets speak to our east midlands reporter, will hollis. And will, ill put the same issue to you as to tony there, because as i did to tony there, because of course weve the of course weve had the politicians there. There was a huge earmarked for flood huge amount earmarked for flood defences there, its defences there, but its seemingly little of it seemingly very little of it actually. Actually spent. Yes, i dont think any street in retford has ever been as busy with politicians. Weve been heanng with politicians. Weve been hearing from the shadow secretary for the environment, steve reed. Weve also had the secretary for state, Teresa Coffey , whos been on this road coffey, whos been on this road as well, the local mp, the leader of the county council. And while a lot of people are clearly quite concerned about the damage that has been done yet again to the residents here on darrel road, theyre also wondering why werent the flood prevention measures in place . Now, one of the things that steve reed said this morning when he was talking to the media was there should have been £11 million worth of funding. And whether that has gotten whether any of that has gotten here, theres certainly £250,000 worth of funding that the local council, bassetlaw District Council says was scrapped. That council says was scrapped. That was supposed to be used for one of the becks here, a large body of the becks here, a large body of water, a reservoir. So of water, a reservoir. So whether that money would have helped here is unknown. There has been some small prevention methods, and ive been speaking to the leader of nottinghamshire county council, but bradley ben bradley about whether those measures are enough. When you can see that there is still a lot of water here 24 hours later and money spent here, and youll see that a number of these properties have kind of sluice doors and defences in their gardens. Gardens. None of that has helped over the weekend. Clearly and the level weve had was level of rain weve had was just too much those defences to too much for those defences to cope i know there are cope with. I know that there are plans Environment Agency plans in the Environment Agency in doing that work, in particular doing that work, so its not something im directly in. Directly involved in. There plans to add but there are plans to add and more investing in and do more investing in this area. E fi area. To have a look now we need to have a look now off of this to make off the back of this to make sure that those plans are going to effective. To be effective. This is a scale and because this is a scale that not before, but that weve not seen before, but there will be a lot of looking into that over the coming days, both to whats happened and both as to whats happened and why to be done why and what needs to be done next. We. We. Well, its the river idle here in retford. Well its the river idle here in retford , river idle here in retford, where there was the problem yesterday. It rose to levels yesterday. It rose to levels that have never been seen before. That have never been seen before , but it subsided, began to subsided around 8 00. But you can still see that a lot of peoples gardens are full of water in the areas that are quite close to the river. Theres canals here in retford as well as small brooks, which are often the big problem. It was two severe flood warnings that were in place for this part of the country over the weekend. They were downgraded , but there they were downgraded, but there are still a hundred plus flood warnings that the Environment Agency has active. And the met agency has active. And the met office have said that a yellow weather warning is in place, meaning that theres more rain to come over the next 24 hours. And that could add to the levels of water that are already here, meaning that people who have already been flooded and the water has subsided could quite easily find themselves in this nightmare all over again in just a matter of hours.

And i welcome back to the live desk. Now the governments being accused of foot dragging over a ban on no fault evictions, also known as section 21. It allows landlords to give just a two month eviction notice to tenants without any explicit reason. Well, labour is warning that ban could take years to pass through , with thousands of households in the uk facing homelessness as a result. Lets get more in the uk facing homelessness as a result. Lets get more in in the uk facing homelessness as a result. Lets get more in the a result. Lets get more in the studio now with our economics and Business Editor Liam Halligan with on the money. And halligan with on the money. And i think i might be right in saying there is some confusion over this without being assessment. Its as clear as mud mark because there is all mighty battle about this particular piece of legislation nation with a lot of conservative backbenchers trying to stick up for landlords particularly buy to let landlords , people whove to let landlords, people whove just got 1 or 2 properties and a lot of labour backbenchers and the labour front bench sticking up for what you call generation rent. Young people who feel that the rental market is, which is an increasing number of people, which an number of which is an increasing number of people. Just run through people. Lets just run through some details now, some of the details here. Now, these fault evictions. These are no fault evictions. Thatis these are no fault evictions. That is the right of landlords to evict for no reason with two months notice and the tories are saying they will end these no fault. They will end these no fault. They will end these no fault evictions. And this is a fault evictions. And this is a policy, mark, that they first promised in their 2019 manifesto. So now theres been a delay. And since that delay , the delay. And since that delay, the likes of generation rent and pnced likes of generation rent and priced out these Campaign Groups that are standing up for young renters , they say no fault renters, they say no fault evictions in england are up 41 on between april and june compared to the same period in 2022. Because of this delay and labour fears that even if the ban does get through legislation , there will still be a delay. , there will still be a delay. And ill explain why. This is the renters reform bill. Mark and the tories are saying today they will bring it fonnard for debate in parliament. It will happen. But what labour is saying is that a line on the face of the bill suggests it can only be enacted. It will only come into effect once ministers are satisfied that the court system is geared up enough and well resourced enough that landlords can evict tenants even with these no fault evictions goneif with these no fault evictions gone if they need to. Because at the moment the court system is so under resourced and not geared up for rental disputes that it can take landlords if tenants refuse to move out months, even years , to get rid months, even years, to get rid of tenants. The other aspect which the newspapers have touched on is their research have shown that 87 mp5 their research have shown that 87 mps earn income from Residential Property , 68 of them Residential Property, 68 of them conservatives. But the argument conservatives. But the argument is that it would reduce the number of landlords prepared to put property onto the market and therefore lead to yet another shortage of accommodation for generation rent. Generation rent. Thats exactly right. This is the great conundrum. Theres a conundrum with what we call rent control. Sadiq khan , the london control. Sadiq khan, the london mayor, wants rent controls in london. That means that rents can only go up to a certain level, dictated by government. And again, a lot of landlords will say, look, if you dont let me set the rent that i can get in the open market, then im just going to sell my property or im going to and the property will bought by an owner will just be bought by an owner occupier and wont be there occupier and it wont be there for 20 of the population for the 20 of the population which in rental which now live in rental accommodation. Again, this really heart of the really goes to the heart of the kind of ideological divide between labour. Between the tories and labour. The tories will say they are sticking private sticking up for private sector landlords, not big institutions, not rapacious companies, but couples who havent been saving in a pension because returns have been terrible for the last 15 20 years. But maybe 15 or 20 years. But maybe theyve theyve, theyve moved house, but theyve kept their existing house and so theyve got 1 or 2 existing house and so theyve got1 or 2 properties. Theyre got 1 or 2 properties. Theyre not big landlords and when they need their own property back they maybe their kids want to live in it or they want sell live in it or they want to sell it because relatives sick or it because a relatives sick or something they Something Like that. They need to be able to free up that property. Tories would say when they free it up. They need to free it up. But the other interesting thing is its showing that maybe housing is really lining to housing is really lining up to be issue for the general be a key issue for the general election and it was touched on by labour in their conference, less so by by the conservative lives. But were talking about now issues not just of, you know, can you afford your mortgage age, is there enough Housing Stock . But now can you Housing Stock . But now can you even rent . Housing stock . But now can you even rent . Its coming together in a pretty sort of powerful bubble , isnt it . Bubble, isnt it . I think youre exactly right. I was too early to this. I thought housing would be the really big issue of the 2019 general election because i thought by then brexit would be done. Thats why i wrote a book called home truths to coincide with that general election. But it seems to me, i agree with you, the 2023, 2024 election, were expecting election either next spring or next or maybe a bit later. Now or maybe next autumn. Now or maybe next autumn. Yeah, hopefully the tories want Interest Rates to start coming down before they go to the country, if you like. I think you could be right. It wasnt that starmer just touched on housing in his Conference Speech in in liverpool. Speech at the in in liverpool. It was actually the centre of his Conference Speech. And sunak his Conference Speech. And sunak didnt mention housing at all. I mean, you and i were talking about social housing last week. Again, thats really coming to the fore a lot of lower income households, they want some action on social housing and then course, there are 20 then of course, there are 20 of then of course, there are 20 of the population that but the population that rents. But ovennhelmingly are. Between ovennhelmingly they are. Between 25 and 34. Are those swing voters trying to start a family . They watch their you know, their mum and dad were able to buy a house. They cant buy a house. So they will vote pretty much for that says the for anyone, one that says the right thing when it comes to helping renters to get on the property and own their property ladder and own their own property ladder and own their oereah, and of course are yeah, and of course they are the generations that come through want to aspire through that want to aspire to stuff. Thought was stuff. And i thought it was quite interesting, know, quite interesting, you know, starmer the whole mile, starmer went the whole mile, didnt he, by saying about labour , you labour new towns, which, you know, we saw in the 60s crawley and Hemel Hempstead , stevenage, and Hemel Hempstead, stevenage, Milton Keynes was the, was the big example. Corby parts of peterborough. Look, we havent built im 54. I look younger. I look, we havent built im 54. I look younger. I know. Look, we havent built im 54. I look younger. I know. But anyway, no comment. Im 54. We havent built a new town in this country in my lifetime. The last one was Milton Keynes, which kind of opened in 1967, two years before i was born, and then took five years to get to around the roundabouts. Indeed, indeed, for the trees to grow. But dont knock Milton Keynes. Its one of the happiest places in britain. Surveys show huge entrepreneurship. A places in britain. Surveys show hugofentrepreneurship. A places in britain. Surveys show hugofentrncousinsship. A places in britain. Surveys show hugofentrncousins moved a places in britain. Surveys show hugofentrncousins moved therei lot of my cousins moved there from you know, rough parts from from, you know, rough parts of london. Jackie stewart started his grand prix team back back , back in the 70s. People back, back in the 70s. People that live in new like new that live in new towns like new towns, know , media might towns, you know, the media might be about them, but be a bit sniffy about them, but they absolutely vital for they are absolutely vital for aspiration for the for the british dream. But weve now got a situation where we havent had a situation where we havent had a new town in over 50 years. And dunng a new town in over 50 years. And during lifetime time the during my lifetime time the population by population has increased by 15 or million. Thats why or 20 million. Thats why theres pressure on theres so much pressure on housing. But is there a huge problem mps all problem for all mps with all these things . Problem for all mps with all the because . Problem for all mps with all the because of course, when they because of course, when they come to being a constituency mp, inevitably factor inevitably its the nimby factor saying we dont want this big market dont want market town here, we dont want this here, we this Housing Estate here, we dont want this development here. Really tough here. Its a really tough call for them. Is. And labour, to their it is. And labour, to their credit, are trying to address those theyre those problems because theyre looking policy ive looking at a policy that ive talked over the talked about a lot over the years called land capture. Years called land Value Capture. So give agricultural so when you give Agricultural Land for Land Planning permission for homes value that land homes, the value of that land goes the moon, it goes up goes to the moon, it goes up 2 or times in many parts of or 300 times in many parts of the uk. And then you can then use that increase in value if you split it between the developers, slash land owners and authorities, and the local authorities, the local can use that local authorities can use that value build schools, to build value to build schools, to build hospitals because its the infrastructure that has to go with local people may feel, well, this well, look, if we get all this new infrastructure after the hassle build, the value hassle of the build, the value of house go up. Yeah, of my house might go up. Yeah, but there wont be extra pressure on infrastructure. Therell infrastructure, pressure on infrastructure. There public infrastructure, pressure on infrastructure. There public services. Istructure, pressure on infrastructure. There public services. S01cture, more public services. So actually i want this. And thats been yeah. And thats always been the criticism. Our waiting the criticism. Look, our waiting list at gp surgery are long list at the gp surgery are long enough as it as land Value Capture totally rebalance capture can totally rebalance the politics of the fraught local politics of planning, International Experience labour experience shows that labour examining its time the examining that its time the tories, in my view, does too. Im going to say i think Michael Goves a lot in his goves got quite a lot in his intro this afternoon, liam, intro this afternoon, so liam, thanks taking us through thanks for taking us through that. Lets address now our housing. Well, slightly housing issue. Well, slightly different perspective, but pretty difficult for the family concerned because theyve been housed in Travelodge Hotels for 14 months and say they have no hope now of getting a home. They were made homeless after their own house burnt down. Theyve been relocated several times and say theyve been given no indication when they might be able to find a permanent base. As hartle now reports, as lisa hartle now reports, piotra, his sons and wife piotra, his two sons and wife have been housed in various travel lodges 14 months travel lodges for 14 months after their property burnt down. After being told they but after being told they would have to move yet would have to move to yet another another borough another hotel in another borough , he said camp outside , he said hed camp outside Enfield Council until someone met with him. Im feeling bad for my family. Im feeling very bad for all my family. Family. Im feeling very bad for all my family. Sometimes im all my family. Sometimes im feeling im like, im not a human on. Im like a homeless person. Im like lower category , person. Im like lower category, like lower category person. And my family also in april, i first filmed with the family in enfield. Enfield. Piotr is a wheelchair user and so needs adapted accommodation. Accommodation. When i want to be like escape from escape from the hotel , from from escape from the hotel, from the hotel room , i feel like im the hotel room, i feel like im arrested there and i trying to escape and save my family. Escape and save my family. Matt burns from a Housing Charity says the number of People Living in temporary accommodation is shocking. We have around 3400 families living in temporary accommodation of some sort or enfield families and about 5000 children. So registered as homeless, living in temporary accommodation. An and its accommodation. An and its anything but temporary. So 80 anything but temporary. So 80 of those families have been in that accommodation for longer than two years. So its not temporary, but they might be asked to leave at any moment. So asked to leave at any moment. So its very unsettling to be in that kind of situation. And particularly in the Hotel Accommodation that people are finding themselves in now. But we just simply dont have enough social rent, Affordable Homes for people to move into. For people to move into. In a statement, Enfield Council said, weve explored a number of avenues to find the zbikowski family suitable accommodation , but larger accommodation, but Larger Properties that are adaptable are exceptionally difficult to find , and there are other find, and there are other families in similar situations. This is a National Housing challenge problem we continue to work with mr borkowski and our Housing Providers and partners to help find suitable accommodation as soon as possible. The council arranged a more suitable hotel for piotr and his family until mid november. So for now , piotr mid november. So for now, piotr left Enfield Council with his tent, hoping a permanent place can be found soon. Lisa hartle gb news enfield. Gb news enfield. Now ive been updating you with the aftermath of the flooding in scotland and also in nottingham , yorkshire. The met nottingham, yorkshire. The met office now saying there is more heavy rain on the way. Theyve issued more yellow weather warnings. At least four people, of course, have lost their lives so far in the aftermath of storm babet and hundreds more still homeless after vast areas of the uk were submerged, river levels remained dangerously high in many areas. Lets get more now many areas. Lets get more now with weather forecaster john kettley who can join us john, thanks very much indeed for your time this afternoon. I guess we can follow the track of the rain. The problem then is what happens once it falls, given that much of ground is that much of the ground is saturated is going to just saturated and is going to just run into the rivers . Run off into the rivers . Yeah, this is the problem , yeah, this is the problem, mark, isnt it . Were not in a good place at the moment because this is not the moment because this is not the time of the year when youd expect things to dry out anyway. Everything waterlogged everything is now waterlogged or saturated. Very, saturated. The rivers are very, very and every day very high indeed. And every day you on charts and you look on the charts and theres more rain developing as well. Its not always going well. So its not always going to wettest in the same to be the wettest in the same areas. But nonetheless, everybodys had packet of everybodys had a fair packet of rain the past week or so. And rain in the past week or so. And theres more to come for all of us. A time we us. So it isnt a time when we can actually dry out very quickly, very slow seepage into the ground. But of course, youve to remember, youve got to remember, too, that river that some of these River Catchment still catchment areas are still getting in from the getting the water in from the mountains of wales, for example, and coming down from the pennines. Water still pennines. So the water is still actually than actually rising rather than falling moment. Falling at the moment. Yeah. And therefore difficult for to for the Environment Agency to gauge and gauge how quickly it rises. And in rainfall as in terms of the rainfall as well, at what happened well, looking at what happened in particularly, are in scotland particularly, are we seeing very concentrated areas of rainfall and for quite a sustained period as well . I think this is what happened the other day. There was a case of taking your eye off the ball to some degree. I know to begin with, middle of the week, we did see that heavy rain moving into scotland from ireland, but it was also torrential rainfall for many, many hours across in east anglia midlands anglia through the east midlands and the pennine area, and into the pennine area, Northern England and back into south east scotland. So some of these areas saw that rain band hardly at all for the hardly moving at all for the best part of two days. And i can vouch for that myself. I was right in the middle of it and some very high river levels. The trent, for example, the trent, for example, at the moment into moment coming into nottinghamshire and lincolnshire. Know, lincolnshire. So you know, it is a difficult situation the a difficult situation at the moment say, theres moment and as i say, theres more rain to come. Ive got range bands showing up even now. Theres slow moving theres a very slow moving band of crossing ireland now, of rain crossing ireland now, right . Actually, right . Barely moving actually, but into but its just moving into cornwall that will develop cornwall and that will develop and intensify as moves and intensify as it moves further tomorrow. Further east tomorrow. The first and of course, the first culprit was storm babet. And we were told they could see it coming in from the Canary Islands is the other feature is that been slow that theyve been quite slow moving coming in. Moving these storms coming in. So up intensity and so they pick up intensity and ferocity come in. Ferocity as they come in. Yeah, well, barbette actually came and went like a dose of salts. Really came and went in about 36 hours. Its just enhanced by further developments down over spain portugal and where spain and portugal and where its been hot actually for its been very hot actually for the few weeks. So there was the past few weeks. So there was an awful lot of energy. The dynamics the jet dynamics were such that the jet stream diverting down into stream was diverting down into the bay biscay, picking up the bay of biscay, picking up more energy and actually bringing intense rainfall bringing more intense rainfall behind areas of low behind babbitt with areas of low pressure developing across southern britain. And then they southern britain. And then they became stationary, pivoting around the same area, which weve about already. So weve talked about already. So there very complex there was a very complex situation last week and situation through last week and into the weekend. Now its perhaps becoming little perhaps becoming a little bit more are seeing more simplified. We are seeing different rain different bands of rain arriving. One just arriving. One ive just mentioned into the mentioned coming into the southwest another one southwest. Theres another one now southeast of now approaching the southeast of england, thats going england, too, and thats going to into eastern to be pushing up into Eastern England tonight. And england through tonight. And into tomorrow. Into eastern scotland tomorrow. And thats the one also, which is to enhance the rainfall is going to enhance the rainfall , across , particularly across lincolnshire. And the lincolnshire. And into the northeast northern northeast midlands and Northern England right now. Had this sort of we had this sort of assessment about these once in a lifetime or once in 100 years events that the Environment Agency based its agency sort of based its planning on and flood defences and on. Going to have and so on. Are we going to have to start rethinking because of these now. These various events now. Well, i was listening to you talking to liam earlier on and he said he was 54 now. Well, its not too bad being 55, i can tell you. But the thing about being 55 or more is that youve seen all these events in the past. Weve seen it come and go before. Now im not belittling whats the moment. Whats happening at the moment. It very serious situation, it is a very serious situation, but 2000, we did have but back in 2000, we did have the autumn on record and the wettest autumn on record and im going back to im talking about going back to 1727. The autumn of 2000 was 1727. So the autumn of 2000 was extremely wet, far wetter than weve at moment. Right. Weve got at the moment. Right. But the in but who knows . In the end, in another few it could get another few weeks it could get worse. Yeah. As ever, thanks for john, as ever, thanks for updating and of course, updating us. And of course, well keep abreast of all those warnings obvious reasons. Warnings for obvious reasons. Thank much indeed. Thank you very much indeed. Lets back to the lets just take you back to the rafah between egypt and rafah crossing between egypt and gaza seen more gaza, because we have seen more trucks crossing there in this past hour. You can see there the past hour. You can see there the suppues past hour. You can see there the supplies on board. Its effectively the third convoy, but it still, according to the un, the United Nations is there not nearly as much as is needed, beanng not nearly as much as is needed, bearing in mind that before the hostilities broke out, there was seeing some 450 trucks crossing a day. And there are still many a day. And there are still many checks going on because certainly the israelis say they do not want to see fuel being moved at the moment. They claim that hamas has been taking those fuel supplies and using it for military means. But certainly in terms of the United Nations, they say that more supplies are desperately needed. The desperately needed. The hospitals need medical supplies and they say fuel as well. But you can see many of these trucks have been emptied. So theyll go back across the border to pick up more supplies. And in terms up more supplies. And in terms of the situation in gaza, according to the palestinian Health Ministry , which we, of Health Ministry, which we, of course, do acknowledge is controlled by hamas, theyve said, say 5087 people have died there , 15,275 have been injured. There, 15,275 have been injured. And the un saying they have evidence of people moving back from the south of gaza to head back north, which was evacuated because of the continued difficult situation in terms of suppues difficult situation in terms of supplies and shelter and indeed the continued bombing as well. So well keep you updated on that changing situation. Well that changing situation. Well keep you updated, too, on the situation here. Lets take you to the commons as because we are expecting the Prime Minister to be making a statement in the next half hour on the situation in the middle east, in particular, the attack you remember , on that hospital in remember, on that hospital in gaza, which was initially blamed on an israeli airstrike that was challenged by the israelis and others, we understand that the Prime Minister now has an intelligence briefing from our own assessment , the joint own assessment, the joint Intelligence Committee , and Intelligence Committee, and hell be updating those details in the comments.
