For instance, a few days ago, i understand it was tuesday, i understood that i had this Pearl Necklace on me the whole time. Now, this is not trivial. People do not wear Pearl Necklaces to raves. It is not the custom. But, for some reason, i had a thought of an outfit change later that day, and i wore it because it is so precious to me, it is my grandmothers. Its my grandmothers.

I cannot understand it. I really cannot. People from the us, people from china, they were slaughtered and raped and butchered, and this is not something that is against only the jewish people.

Thank you for going through the most terrific of experiences with us and giving a first hand powerful testimony. Thank you. Let us turn to the situation in gaza where the retaliatory strikes have been continuing. This is the fifth day since the hamas attacks on israel. Israeli Officials Say that no water, medicine, orfuel will be allowed into gaza until all of the hostages taken on saturdays attack, led by hamas, are released. Since then, israel has launched retaliatory air strikes. Lets take a look of some of the pictures out gaza today. This was the scene this morning in gaza city after after note overnight strikes. People are searching for their loved ones. Some are being found and carried out alive. You can see the narrow streets that they are working in, trying to get the people beneath the rubble. Buildings were targeted by an israeli air strike and have been reduced to rubble. People are picking through the destruction, retrieving bodies. You can see the injuries and some of the people able to shelter in time. Meanwhile, some families are seeking shelter in schools across gaza. This is in gaza city. They are run by the United Nations relief and works agency. The un Secretary GeneralAntonio Gutierrez said that hundred and 20,000 palestinians are now sheltering in 92 facilities across gaza. We can speak now to lord ricketts, Peter Ricketts, who served as the uks National Security adviser from 2010 to 2012, and also served as the uks Permanent Representative to nato. Welcome to you. Thank you for being with us. I want to talk to you personal about the us Secretary Of State, Antony Blinken. He is in israel today. He has met with the israeli Prime Minister. He has found an ending us support for israel during that visit. What do you make of his powerful Press Conference that he had with Benjamin Netanyahu . You did indeed speak very powerfully. His primary message is, of course, support for israel in these awful circumstances. He also blended it with the Important Message that israel needs to respect the laws of war, to avoid as far as possible civilian casualties in gaza. They need to be thinking about what happens after they have hunted down these terrorists in gaza and smashed the hamas organisation. What happens after that . I think that is an important part of his message. Im sure he will also have been speaking about regional escalation. And, perhaps, also, perhaps one can be done about the evacuation of some of the hostages. A very full agenda, said in the most emotional and terrible circumstances you can imagine. Terrible circumstances you can imauine. ,. ,. , terrible circumstances you can imauine. ,. ,~. , imagine. You made it very clear, as has joe biden. Imagine.

You made it very clear, as has joe biden, that us support has| hasjoe biden, that us support has never been stronger than is today. How much influence does he have over Benjamin Netanyahu . When you talk about things like not targeting innocent civilians, about each humanitarian corridor. To his words have an impact on the israeli Prime Minister . Well they possibly help to de escalate the situation . Im sure that netanyahu is determined to do everything necessary to hunt down terrorists. I hope you will be listening carefully to Antony Blinken. America is as well� s most important ally stop other important allies like the uk and european countries. I think Antony Blinken has that clear message with two parts to it absolute support, but also, we look to israel as a mature democracy, to respect the laws of war and what they can to prevent civilian casualties looking into the future. I hope that by mr netanyahu has heard that message. Of course, circumstances in israel. The determination to be as tough as possible is uppermost, but, it is a time for people to be statesman like and to be trying to think about the future, preventing this from blowing up future, preventing this from blowing up into a wider regional situation. The Israeli Government is now on a war footing. The Israeli Government is now on a warfooting. Benjamin netanyahu made it clear on saturday that they are at war. How much will that impact on the decisions that lie ahead as well . The fact it is a Coalition Government now . Well . The fact it is a Coalition Government now . ,. ,. , , government now .

There will be all sorts of questions raised after the fighting is over, of course, to the Prime Minister, to the Israeli Intelligence community, and to the armed forces. But, right now, it is an issue of unity. I think that the fact it is a broadly based coalition will help. It will mean that israeli society, altogether, is behind the government. And then, with the support of israels friends around the world. My back what about other countries in the middle east . And the palestinians . We know that Antony Blinken will be meeting with the palestinian president mahmud what power does he have right now . He has very little power. The administration has not been a Great Success in the west bank. I dont think he has any respect in gaza. Could he be somebody who could take control of gaza after the war . I do not know. It is a possibility. I guess but that is in the mind of mr blinken. I think it is also vital message to be passing, that the worst thing would be to see a flare up of violence in the west bank as well. We have enough violence in the region without palestinians in the west bank also going on to be offensive. I am sure there will be a great amount of worry about hezbollah in lebanon. They are iranians back. There has been some skirmishing. The last thing that is needed is a major intervention by his brother word mack, prompting another massive response by israel. It is a very delicate moment. I think that that is why blinken is there to try to calm these things down. The American Fleet off of the coast of israel is there as well to deter hezbollah, to send a message to iran that no meddling will be tolerated in this very sensitive situation. , , situation. How.

Of course, The Americans will hope it is a deterrent. The secret of a deterrent is that you do not use it, but he convinced the other side it is not worth the risk of increasing the conflict, bringing the conflict to the north of israel. They will hope a powerful show of Deterrent Force will have an impact. Up Deterrent Force will have an impact. Up until now, hezbollah seem to have been reasonably restrained. I do not think that this was their war, they did not know about it in advance, and hopefully, that american pressure will encourage them to keep their heads down and not exploit the situation. Id nobly has a crystal ball, you and me included, but how do you envisage the situation playing out over the coming weeks and months . Ithink playing out over the coming weeks and months . I think that there is going to be some form of Israeli Ground incursion. They will be trying to find and liberate the hostages. Let us pray they achieve that. History suggests that each time israel goes into gaza with a big military intervention, in a few years, hamas has reconstituted itself and has got stronger each time. That model has not really work, and therefore, i hope that there will be a different approach this time. Having got rid of hamas, they could be some positive leadership in gaza, perhaps linked to the west bank. And then, going back to the old idea of negotiations, that at the end of the day, this is not a good way for the region to live. We have heard the terrible story of israeli civilians. Surely, this is a moment to look for a peaceful settlement which would need to describe security for israel, of course, but also some kind of stability and land for the palestinians. It has been on the table for decades. Just possibly, the scale of this awful violence might make it possible to come back to that idea. Might make it possible to come back to that idea to that idea.

It worries me for the people that we support. It worries me whats going to happen to them and how are we going to make sure that we can keep recruiting and we can keep supporting them to live the best life ever . The government has put an extra £2. 4 billion into social care, but its only enough to match the increase in inflation. Care worker pay is a really big issue. Its an issue that the local Government Association has lobbied hard on and to make a step change is difficult. It needs funding to councils to increase and of course it needs to increase in a way that it gets through to the care worker pay. Many at the summit believe better wages wont solve everything, but Care Organisations like karens say if staff were rewarded for what they do, thered be more personalised help to go around.

We will get more analysis very shortly. Now, i want to talk about the situation regarding british people who are trying get out of israel. The British Government says it will organise flights to get its citizens out of israel and has ordered families of its diplomats to leave in the wake of the war with hamas.

They are basically receiving uk nationals who have got a text message saying they are on this first evacuation flight. I say evacuation flight, it is really repatriation. They are making that clear there are still other options, but they are limited. Earlier, the British Government said that they would not be putting on flights because British Airways and virgin, for example, were still operating. However, they have now stopped their direct flights to london, and now only the israeli carrier remains. There are flights there, but people are saying that a lot of their flights have been cancelled, and so, they are here to get on this Repatriation Flight. We are told it will leave at some point later this evening, possibly at eight or 9pm israel time, 7pm in the uk. For people arriving here, there has been a steady stream.
