Big Interventions Today from leaders in the us, the uk and thousands of people in israel protesting on The Streets right now. These are life demonstrations injerusalem, similar Scenes Tonight in Tel Aviv, growing anger at their Prime Minister. There have been back Interventions Today from leaders in the us and uk. We will look at what it all means. And one Word Ofsted Ratings for schools will be scrapped in england. The Prime Minister says the new System Wont be confusing for parents. And what next for germany . The minister urges no support for the far right party. In israel prime Minister Benjamin Netenyahu says he is begging Forforgiveness Afterfailing to bring home six hostages whos bodies were recovered from gaza. He says hamas will pay a very heavy price. We were very close, he said, we were nearly there. But in a televised address, Mr Netanyahu remained defiant in his demand that israeli troops must continue to control the Philadelphi Corridor in the south of Gaza Something hamas has rejected. The Philadelphi Corridor along the Egypt Gaza Border has emerged as a primary Sticking Point in Gaza Ceasefire talks. Mr netanyahu said its a Life Line for hamas, their oxygen and it will determne israels future. Lets hear some of what Mr Netanyahu said. I am begging for your forgiveness. That we did not succeed bringing them home alive. We were very close. Nearly there. And i would like to repeat once again this evening. Israel will not move on to our normal agenda after that massacre. Hamas will pay a very heavy price for it. The war against this Axis Of Evil in this specific war against hamas. And of course, that doesnt bring about a deal whatsoever. But the first crack was when we went into rafah and we took over the Philadelphia Corridor and the rafah, um, trans over the Philadelphi Corridor and the rafah, um, trans over the Philadelphi Corridor and the rafah transit point, because that was literally their way. They actually could breathe and their oxygen. They were hoping that iran or his brother they were hoping that Iran Or Hezbollah would come and save them. Now that theyre hoping that international pressure would now extricate them from that situation. But the only effective change that would be enabled would be if we hold on to the Philadelphi Corridor and not vacate it, not evacuated, because once we Leave It, well never be able to go back. That is a sense of whats Benjamin Netanyahu were saying in that address in the last two hours or so. President biden has said that a final deal for a ceasefire and the release of hostages held in gaza is very close to being presented to israel and hamas by mediators. But he told reporters he did not think that the israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, was doing enough to secure an agreement. Mr biden spoke to reporters as he arrived at the White House to meet us negotiators. Lets have a listen. Are you planning to present a final Hostage Deal this week . We are very close to that. What makes you we are very close to that. What makes you think we are very close to that. What makes you think this we are very close to that. What makes you think this deal we are very close to that. What makes you think this Deal Will. Makes you think this Deal Will be successful in the way the others were not . Be successful in the way the others were not . Hope springs eternal. Others were not . Hope springs eternal do others were not . Hope springs eternal. Do you others were not . Hope springs eternal.

Do you think its time for prime Minister Netanyahu to do more for prime Minister Netanyahu to do more on this issue . Do you think do more on this issue . Do you think he do more on this issue . Do you think he is do more on this issue . Do you think he is doing enough . So no. To israel itself now. There has been criticism by many thousands of people in israel aimed at prime Minister Netanyahu. These are live pictures from jerusalem. They are urging fairly did to do more to bring the hostages home. There have been protests on The Streets in Tel Aviv as well, happening right now. They were taking place during the televised address. A strike went ahead earlier until a court ordered people to end it and return to work. The industrial action caused Flight Delays and hit medical centres, schools and businesses. Israels protesters and their Prime Minister are old acquaintances. Calls for a Hostage Deal have brought long established opponents onto The Streets, but the shooting of six hostages in a Gaza Tunnel last week has broadened this movement, they say. And the mass demonstrations in Tel Aviv Last Night were a turning point. I think the news of the six hostages, the fact that they were alive, and murdered right before they could have been saved, that broke it. After Last Nights mass protest, people are back on The Streets again. There were growing public and political demands on israels Prime Minister to make a deal, but Benjamin Netanyahu, protected by his parliamentary majority, isnt listening. But then, much of the Country Isnt protesting. The one day general strike today, largely unobserved, even in left leaning Tel Aviv. A court ruled that the strike was political and ended it. These protests are part of the well established opposition to israels Prime Minister, analysts say, and so far, little threat to him. I think that netanyahu knows better than i do, the best thing is to let it play as a safety valve. To do some ventilation, and let people say, we hate you, you are a murderer, enough is enough. Two of the protest� s most vocal activists were not in The Street today, but in the parents of a hostage, burying their son. For 23 years, i was privileged to have the most stunning honour, to be hershs mama. I will take it and say thank you. Ijust wish it had been for longer. Tonight injerusalem, the demonstrations began again. Mr netanyahu is used to opposition on The Street, but he is also facing demands from the us president and his own defence minister. Those demands may be harder to ignore. Lucy williamson, bbc news, jerusalem. Aaron David Miller is a Senior Fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for international peace think tank.

Can i ask you on pressure on Benjamin Netanyahu from | on Benjamin Netanyahu from people in his own country on The Streets yet again right now and from the us president Joe Biden . What is your assessment of his position . Is a biden . What is your assessment of his position . Of his position . Is a rare combination of his position . Is a rare combination of of his position . Is a rare combination of massive | of his position . Is a rare combination of massive public protests, the israeli Ministry Of Defence openly charging during a time of war and a cabinet that the Prime Minister is advocating is moral responsibility and failing to make a choice. You have the Philadelphi Corridor you can free the hostages. But i have to say, the reason we are where we are is because in negotiations only when two parties believe there is urgency to close when the advantages of closing the deal outweigh the disadvantages of keeping it open to have an agreement and for the last three days, you have seen a Demonstration And Absence of urgency. The decision by hamas issued instructions presumably on the approach of idf soldiers keeping in mind the israeli operation in central gaza. That act in myjudgment has created enormous work for netanyahu to manoeuvre and it has constricted the margin for pressure for the bride to administration. The second was administration. The second was a Press Conference Today in which he turned the Philadelphi Corridor literally into the fulcrum of Western Civilisation and the only alternative, in order to beat the access of evil, a quote from George W Bushin evil, a quote from George W Bush in his speech in the wake of 9 11. So i think these two leaders are simply unwilling, able but unwilling to make the kind of arrangements and concessions necessary to even get to a phase one deal which i still believe is doable. Still believe is doable. Youve laid out their still believe is doable. Youve laid out their clearly still believe is doable. Youve laid out their clearly without l laid out their clearly without a great deal of optimism but i will ask anyway. You had President Biden saying he has a deal ready to put to both sides are pretty close. When you hear that, it sounds like given the position they put themselves in, there is not much chance of that happening anytime soon. I that happening anytime soon. I think if the administration puts his last chance final proposal on the table, unless barring some sudden change of heart, it seems they will get the administration will get at best a yes but. And if the administration believes this is truly the best chance and they do get that, what will the ministry do . It will stop negotiating . Stop engaging . Ive seen this many times. You should only put a final proposal on the table and if in fact the parties are not prepared to accept it, you need to be serious about walking away and frankly, i dont think the biden administration in the next 70 days in anticipation of one of the most consequential elections in modern American History has the Luxury Or Option of walking away. We are in a Cul De Sac of negotiators with no easy or quick way out. We must Leave It there but i appreciate new lending us your Expertise And Insight into those negotiations. A final significant update. Meanwhile this afternoon, the uk foreign secretary, David Lammy has announced a partial suspention of Arms Exports to israel following a review into the Countrys Compliance within international law when taking Military Action in gaza. Lets take a listen to that announcement. The assessment i have received leaves me unable to conclude anything other than that for certain Uk Arms exports to israel, there does exist a clear risk that they might be used to commit or facilitate a serious violation of international humanitarian law. I have informed my right honourable friend, the Business And Trade secretary, and he is therefore today announcing the suspension of around 30 from a total of approximately 350 to israel as required under the export controls act. 0ur political Correspondent Harry farleyjoins me now live from westminster. Good to see you. We should put this in some kind of context. The Uk Isnt a great exporter to israel in this Regard And Isnt a complete Ban Or Anything like that but politically, took us through the significance. Politically, took us through the significance. Thats right. Its important the significance. Thats right. Its important to the significance. Thats right. Its important to make the significance. Thats right. Its important to make the i its important to make the point, it is not an Arms Embargo or a complete ban on weapons exports. You had their saying is about 30 of 350 existing licences. But as you say, politically this is a sensitive for the Labour Party because they lost several seats they would have otherwise been expected to win in the general election earlier this year to candidates is largely standing on pro gaza tickets, particularly campaigning on the issue. Since David Lammy was speaking a few hours ago, the government has published a summary of how it made that decision to suspend some Arms Licences and crucially it says its not simply based on Israels Conduct in gaza, despite the mass casualties of the conflict in gaza, it has not been possible to reach a judgment on allegations regarding Israels Conduct of hostilities. This is based on other factors, hostilities. This is based on otherfactors, humanitarian other factors, humanitarian assessment the otherfactors, humanitarian assessment the government has done is israel has not done enough, all that it could, to allow humanitarian aid into civilians in gaza and the assessment says they have incredible claims of mistreatment of detainees and the Volume And Consistency of these allegations suggest at least some instances of Mistreatment Contrary to humanitarian law. So the decision has been based on that concern that there is not enough humanitarian aid getting through to gaza not simply based on Israels Conduct in gaza. ~ based on Israels Conduct in gaza. , thank you. Around the world and across the uk. This is bbc news. Lets take a look at some of the other stories in the headlines. Inspectors will no longer Rate State schools in england with one word grades, such as outstanding or inadequate. A new system of School Reports by the education standards office, 0fsted, will be introduced from next september. The family of Head Teacher Ruth perry had lobbied for the change after she took her own life in 2023, after her school was given the lowest rating. Bra nwen jeffreys reports. A mission for our government, which is to make sure that every single child, whatever their background, wherever they come from, has the best possible education. This Move Today is about driving up standards, making sure that weve got a richer picture so parents can see in a more accountable way the real strength of a school, and making sure weve got the improvements in to catch schools quickly. So this is all about driving up standards. The sort of single grade didnt work very well because we want to know, well, what about the other areas . What about this aspect . Is this school strong in depth . I think a lot of people, a lot of parents would be really relieved to know theres going to be a richer picture, more accountability and that youve got a government thats absolutely determined to drive up standards. Simon kidwell is a headteacher and former president of national association of headteachers. Thank you for coming on the programme. We are getting rid of the one word grades, outstanding, inadequate etc. Do you support that . I outstanding, inadequate etc. Do you sunport that . Outstanding, inadequate etc. Do you support that . You support that . I think an overarching you support that . I think an overarching grade you support that . I think an overarching grade to you support that . I think an overarching grade to judge l you support that . I think an i overarching grade to judge the quality of the school is very difficult and problematic and has caused all sorts of issues and weve been calling for the change for a number of years so i think it is a welcome move by the new government. The new government. Some concerns the new government. Some concerns are the new government. Some concerns are that the new government. Some concerns are that by the new government. Some concerns are that by getting rid of the simplicity of one word parents can easily get a sense of where the school is and if you get rid of that, is harder to understand. I think we do parent harder to understand. I think we do parent is harder to understand. I think we do parent is a harder to understand. I think we do parent is a disservice. We do parent is a disservice when we say they need a simple one Word Or Number to describe schools. Schools are complex organisations and we need more than just one words to describe them. Also, these grades have been problematic because some schools are labelled with outstanding etc for over ten years and during this time period, theyve seen the dip in performance. 50 period, theyve seen the dip in performance period, theyve seen the dip in performance. So give us an idea of what this performance. So give us an idea of what this new performance. So give us an idea of what this new system performance. So give us an idea of what this new system as performance. So give us an idea of what this new system as far l of what this new system as far as we know how it will work and what kind of information parents will be getting. There hasnt been parents will be getting. There hasnt been much parents will be getting. There hasnt been much change,. Parents will be getting. There hasnt been much change, is| hasnt been much change, is just normally when the schools are inspected there is a judgment of overall effectiveness and that is going so now there will be based on four different subcategories, leadership, quality of education, Personal Development and behaviour. So they will still get a similar report, this isjust a still get a similar report, this is just a first step in the right direction as we move towards Report Cards in September 2025 which should offer more information to parents. Offer more information to parents offer more information to arents. � ,. , , parents. And ust more broadly and widely. Parents. And just more broadly and widely. If parents.

Share that come inspection time. Are ou that come inspection time. Are you nervous that come inspection time. Site you nervous about that . That come inspection time. 22 you nervous about that . I think inspections will always be a High Pressure environment, ive been Head Teacherfor 20 High Pressure environment, ive been Head Teacher for 20 years and had over ten inspections, however we want a system that is proportionate and humane and the most recent Inspection System is causing too much distress for those teachers and School Leaders and its one of the primary reasons our leaders tell us they are Leave It leaving headship. The german chancellor has urged Mainstream Parties not to lend support to the far right alternative for germany Party Or Afd which he called extremist. 0laf Scholz described afd� s success in thringia and strong showing in saxony as � worrying and said the party was dividing society. The afd has become the first far right group to win the most votes in a State Election since the second world war. Lets bring in sabine rennefanz. Shes a Journalist And Author who grew up in east germany. Thank you for coming on the programme. What do you make of this latest milestone in the Continuing Uptrend in support for the afd .

I would be cautious with the comparison with history, as you know it repeats itself and in some ways, germany is catching up with this result because we see in europe and other places around the world a rise of far right parties, populist parties, Anti Immigration Parties, Anti Immigration Parties who want to take the time back to perceived times when everything seemed to be better and i would put the afd in a similar mould even if they use very xenophobic and racist language.

Of course with germanys past, one should not forget the lessons, but its also a bit of a mistake to be too quick to jump to conclusions and say its like 1933 again. Its not, its a different century, different challenges and germany had neverin challenges and germany had never in the past had big parliamentary groups with Neo Nazi backgrounds. They were always small and only the afd which is only a few years old and started as an anti europe Party Kind of like the Reform Party or ukip in former times and devolved into a more anti immigration party. Immigration is a big topic at the moment when you look at the reasons why people voted for the afd is one of the main reasons and one can say its the only topic that the afd has more than any other has to offer. � , more than any other has to offer. ,. ,. , offer.

Im surprised it was a drastic surprised it was a drastic election when he came out in full sentences and all the parties beforehand in these two federal states have said there will be no coalition with the afd. So there is nothing new. I think they will stand by that and we have to put into perspective these two federal states are relatively small, less than 10 of the population live there. So the actual impact might not be so big but the bigger impact has really been felt namely in the sense that already the Traffic Light Coalition which is not very popular has already changed their policies before the election on immigration has taken a tougher stance and denounced things that beforehand seemed impossible like bringing back criminal asylum seekers, they might be deported now and beforehand it didnt seem possible especially to countries like afghanistan and syria. So the afd has a ready had an impact even if they arent in government. We must leave they arent in government. We must Leave It they arent in government. We must Leave It there but thank you for coming on the programme. A reminder, these are live pictures from Tel Aviv, people on The Streets protesting, visible anger towards netanyahu. Visible anger towards neta nyahu. We visible anger towards netanyahu. We will have all analysis coming up. Stay with us. Hello. Its been a rather cloudy, misty, murky day for many of us and we have seen some outbreaks of rain. A transition has been taking Place Yesterday with this very warm and humid air in place. Temperatures climb to 30 degrees. Today it was still pretty humid, but through tomorrow and into wednesday we get into this fresher air and things will feel very different. But with that transition taking place, we have seen some outbreaks of rain and a lot of Mist And Murk. That was how it looked for a Weather Watcher in the highlands. Low pressure has been in charge, generally loosening its grip as we head through tonight. But still these frontal zones in the picture. So still some showers or even some longer spells of rain for a time there across the northern isles, one or two showers continuing across england and wales, and we will keep some areas of Mist And Murk and low cloud, but some clear spells too, and quite a range of temperatures. Its going to be another pretty warm night across south wales, southern and eastern parts of england, whereas for Northern Ireland and scotland, fresher feel eight degrees for glasgow and for belfast tomorrow morning. But we will see this Band Of Cloud And Patchy Rain Pushing Across Western Scotland and Northern Ireland, and this old Weather Front here bringing some cloud and some showers across some central and eastern parts of england. But we should, i think, on balance see a bit more in the way of sunshine tomorrow, but a slightly fresher feel with temperatures of 1a to 23 degrees now for the middle of the week, this big area of High Pressure in the atlantic tries to build its way in, but not quite strongly enough to kill off all of these Weather Fronts, just the weak residues, if you like, of frontal systems. Bringing some cloud, bringing some outbreaks of showery rain. But i think most places will be dry. There will be some spells of sunshine, and were looking at temperatures between 1a and 21 degrees. So all of us into the fresher air by this stage. Now, as we head towards the end of the week, were watching this little Weather System here. It doesnt look like much, but it may well dive across the western side of the uk and then join forces with this bigger area of low pressure to bring the chance for some rain, and also some brisk winds down towards the south of the uk. High Pressure Youll Notice theyre trying to build across the north now. There is a lot of uncertainty about the forecast for the end of the week, but it looks like southern areas are most likely to see rain with some drier conditions further north.
