Good to be with you. Im katy tur. One year ago today, hamas militants launched an unprecedented multipronged attack on southern israel, descending on communities close to the border, killing 1,200 people, including 46 americans, and taking more than 250 hostages back to gaza. Kids, and babies, moms and dads, grandparents, soldiers, people in their homes, people at work. People at a Music Festival. It was the largest massacre of jews since the holocaust, the worst Security Failure in israels history. In the years since, israel has turned gaza into rubble, trying to root out hamas. And rescue hostages, killing 40,000 gazans, militants and civilians. In many cases, entire families, and lots and lots and lots of children. More than 16,000, according to local accounting. On top of that, an ever escalating humanitarian catastrophe, a lack of food, water, shelter, and medicine. Of the 250 hostages taken back to gaza, 117 have been released in shortterm Cease Fire and lopsided Prisoner Exchang
And as First Minister of scotland when his party faced the latest in a series of crises. John swinney, welcome to political thinking. Lovely to be with you, thank you. It has been something of a rollercoaster six months, havent it . You retire from Front Line politics, then the First Minister of scotland is forced from office and you decide to come back into Front Line politics, come to your partys rescue. Then Rishi Sunak calls a surprise early election in the summer, then you have a bit of a kick in the general election, the westminster election. Has it all been very stomach churning . Its been absolutely a whirlwind. A whirlwind, i think is the best way to describe it, because i quite literally, in the days before Humza Yousaf resigned as First Minister, was making further plans about what would be my gentle scaling down of political activity. And i was actually on the day that he resigned, giving a reflective speech about 25 years of devolution in scotland down here in london. And
Welcome to Bbc News. First of All of course we dont see Cross Border Fire from hezbollah and from the Israel Defense forces, so on the ground, any talk of a ceasefire seems very very remote. Let me ask you about your take on what is happening on the ground first of All. Is happening on the ground first of All. Well on Ground It is this exchange first of All. Well on Ground It is this exchange of first of All. Well on Ground It is this exchange of fire first of All. Well on Ground It | is this exchange of fire which will continue and sometimes intensifies, both sides think that they can get an advantage, israel particularly, in that it is claiming to knock out hezbollah positions, particularly Rocket Launching Site and Command And Control posts, it is striking into beirut at times, which is causing a lot of Collateral Damage but they seem to be targeting commanders, the intelligence is working well at the moment, as far as israel is concerned and the hezbollah leadership is concerned, t
You will no longer be in danger. You re not going to be in danger any longer. You will no longer have anxiety from all of the problems our country has today. You will be protected and i will be your protector. Trump s extremely weird pitch to win over women voters. The adjudicated rapist will be women s protector, just like he protected e. Jean carroll, the three wives he cheated on, and the random women he grabs because when you re a celebrity, they let you do it. Also tonight, the middle east is on the brink of a regional war with israel and hezbollah trading attacks. And the timing of this escalation is having an impact on the presidential race here at home. And we begin tonight with a stark historical parallel. The united nations as we know it now began to come together in the summer of 1945, with world war ii nearly over and europe in ruins in the wake of adolf hitler s sixyear blitzkrieg across the continent that killed tens of millions of people, including the 6 million jewish m
Trump endorsed Republican Candidate for governor North Carolina and the gentleman who cnn reported recently described himself years ago as a. He praised hitler and called for the return of slavery in the Washington Post reported on him praising Mein Kampf. Mark robinson the Republican Candidate for governor denies all of it but i should note he has said explicitly that he wants to go back to a time when women werent allowed to vote and he has not denied that because it is on tape. You heard a lot about Mark Robinson and heard a lot less probably about Josh Stein but he is the democratic nominee for governor North Carolina and the man running against him. He is currently the Attorney General of North Carolina. Running for governor is always a big responsibility but think about what Josh Stein has on his shoulders. If he doesnt win this Governors Race in North Carolina, it is not just like a lost opportunity for democrats. If he doesnt win this race, North Carolina really will get a gove
