hamas conflict.— within the context of the israeli - hamas conflict. when antony blinken set off from washington, _ hamas conflict. when antony blinken set off from washington, the - hamas conflict. when antony blinken set off from washington, the numberi set off from washington, the number one thing on the agenda, certainly, thatis one thing on the agenda, certainly, that is being pushed, was his push, the white house�*s push, for a humanitarian pause. and, in terms of that, he has been rebuffed by israel, hasn�*t he? thus far? the israel, hasn't he? thus far? the israelis have _ israel, hasn't he? thus far? the israelis have so _ israel, hasn't he? thus far? the israelis have so far _ israel, hasn't he? thus far? tue: israelis have so far said israel, hasn't he? thus far? tte: israelis have so far said in israel, hasn't he? thus far? "tte: israelis have so far said in public that they will not provide a or ceasefires or hesitations to their military effort. in practice we have seen them operate a bit differently. there were several hours, for example, when the israelis ceased bombing in certain areas to allow civilians to pass down one of the main arteries to get out of northern gaza toward the south. they are not declaring these pauses because of the declaration is something that they would view as a benefit to hamas, but, in practice, they are certainly doing what i will call localised pauses, to allow humanitarian goods to get in, to allow civilians to move, if hamas lets them move.— allow civilians to move, if hamas lets them move. that is around the frin . es of lets them move. that is around the fringes of what _ lets them move. that is around the fringes of what everybody - lets them move. that is around the fringes of what everybody is - lets them move. that is around the fringes of what everybody is saying | fringes of what everybody is saying is actually required on the ground. i want to ask you about hostages, we have heard from the israeli government that they want movement on hostages before any humanitarian causes. the spokesman for the prime minister was on the bbc a little earlier a few hours ago. he was asked, what does that mean? movement? he said: hostages freed and released. that is a pretty high bar, isn�*t it? forany and released. that is a pretty high bar, isn�*t it? for any humanitarian pause? t bar, isn't it? for any humanitarian ause?

50. how this arc is going to go? so, that is the _ how this arc is going to go? srr, that is the pre—0ctober how this arc is going to go? s57, that is the pre—0ctober the seventh arc. i think that 0ctober that is the pre—0ctober the seventh arc. i think that october the 7th is different to previous rounds of fighting. we have seen 0ctober different to previous rounds of fighting. we have seen october the 7th... we had in previous rounds with israel and hamas, israel and hezbollah. there may be a moment out there where the biden administration privately goes to the israelis and says: we think that we need a change here. i think that basically, the administration is in a different path than we have previously seen in previous experiences. there is a recognition that the israelis are fighting what word in american terms to be a just and legitimate conflict. i think that the goal is clearly that they achieve their objectives as swiftly as possible so as to limit the civilian damage. but, of course, acting as swiftly as possible raises the potential for mistakes and errors that then trigger the sorts of casualties that we are trying to avoid. there is a conundrum here. but, ithink that basically, we should not apply the pre—0ctober seven rules to the conflict we are in today. pre-october seven rules to the conflict we are in today. robert satloff, thank _ conflict we are in today. robert satloff, thank you _ conflict we are in today. robert satloff, thank you for _ conflict we are in today. robert satloff, thank you forjoining i conflict we are in today. robert| satloff, thank you forjoining us conflict we are in today. robert . satloff, thank you forjoining us on the programme. thank you.- satloff, thank you forjoining us on the programme. thank you. thank you. around the world _ the programme. thank you. thank you. around the world and _ the programme. thank you. thank you. around the world and across _ the programme. thank you. thank you. around the world and across uk, - the programme. thank you. thank you. around the world and across uk, you i around the world and across uk, you are watching bbc news. bbc news, bringing you different stories from across uk. it was one of lincolnshire�*s biggest events, attracting visitors from around the world. now, would this 1940s festival itself, part of history?
