Beginning to start up, with things beginning to were with some comings and goings. And andy murrays first round match at the geneva opens was stopped due to pollen from the trees falling, which he said was like show. Snow. There will be heavy thunderstorms for some of us today. Then tomorrow brings the potential for persisting rain. Ill have more details coming up i so its been described as the day that shamed the nation after decades of failures, mismanagement and cover ups, the Prime Minister finally apologised over the infected blood scandal, which since the 19805 blood scandal, which since the 1980s has seen 3000 die and 30,000 infected. This is a day of shame for the British State. Todays report shows a decades long moral failure at the heart of our National Life , from the our National Life, from the National Health service to the Civil Service to ministers in successive governments at every level , the people and level, the people and institutions in which we place our trust failed in the most harrowing and devastating way they failed the victims and their families, and they failed this country. Well, the infected blood inquiry announced by theresa may back in 2017 and beginning in 2018, handed down its final report yesterday, offering a damning indictment of decades of mismanagement. Well, today the government is set to outline a compensation package to victims, with reports of £10 billion being earmarked. Of £10 billion being earmarked. Well, joining us now is gb news political correspondent, olivia utley , who is live for us olivia utley, who is live for us in westminster. Very good morning to you , olivia. And for morning to you, olivia. And for victims of this scandal, they have been waiting years, decades for this report. For this report. Yes, in some cases, some of these victims have been waiting up to five decades for this report. And it is extremely damning on pretty much every government since the 1970s. Bnan government since the 1970s. Brian longstaff, who was the key author of this report, wasnt afraid to name individual ministers who he felt had particularly let down victims, among them ken clarke, the former conservative Health Minister who held a range of positions in multiple conservative governments and is now, of course, appear , for now, of course, appear, for there are calls for him to lose his peerage over this. Tony blair has also singled out for saying in 1999 that although he felt sorry for the victims of the infected blood scandal, he didnt think an inquiry would do any good while the inquiry was done anyway. In the end, under done anyway. In the end, under to theresa mays leadership in 2017 and it has exposed all sorts of failures over a very, very long time period. The prime very long time period. The Prime Minister, as we heard there, gave a fulsome apology in the house of commons yesterday, which is something that victims have been asking for specifically for a long time. And also we are going to hear today the compensation package plan , and were expecting it to plan, and were expecting it to cost about £10 billion. Theres a really interesting interview with jeremy hunt, the chancellor in the sunday times, this week, saying that he he personally has, you know, put together this package with the treasury of £10 billion. And he says hes doing it for a constituent who he spoke to years ago , who was spoke to years ago, who was infected with hiv and hepatitis b and died in 2015. Jeremy hunt said that he, as Health Secretary, should have acted faster. But there were other decisions. Other financial priorities at the time, and he didnt. Now hes hoping to make up for that with this £10 billion package. Should also be said that this £10 billion package probably means that he wont be able to cut taxes again on before the next election, something which he did hint at in his last speech. So we are now expecting there to be no budget before the next election. That gives you a scale of just how an idea of just the scale of this compensation package and the scale of this scandal. There for us live in westminster. Thank you very much indeed. Now, israels Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu says us has hit back after the International Criminal court confirmed that it is seeking an arrest warrant against him for war crimes in gaza. He called the move a moral outrage. He also rejected the comparison between israel and hamas. Thats as the court also hamas. Thats as the court also seeks arrest warrants for top hamas leaders. Well, lets get some analysis on all of this from doctor Chris Skudder dyer, founder of the sanctuary foundation. Good morning. Wonderful to see you. And a really, really big day this yesterday. And you know, we this yesterday. And you know, we dont know quite how this will play dont know quite how this will play out. I think were being told a couple of months whilst the judges consider or not whether or not they will issue those arrest warrants. But whats your reading of this . I mean, he seems incredibly confident this prosecutor, that he has got the threshold of evidence to proceed with these prosecutions. Prosecutions. Well, the chief prosecutor has been incredibly brave, but incredibly thorough. He spent four months with a crack team of lawyers, including amal clooney, the noted human rights lawyer and wife of george clooney. She shes been part of his team. And shes been part of his team. And i think its an important day. Martin luther king said that injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. And this, prosecutor is an attempt to show that nobody is above the law. Every life matters. And whatever the cause of the war, you can still be capable of a war crime. Still be capable of a war crime. Well see. These arrest warrants being issued. Warrants being issued. Well, thats a big question. I dont think the prosecutor would have put this case forward without thinking hes got the evidence in place for months, is a long time with the extent of the conflict. Even the netanyahu government has admitted theres been 30,000 casualties in this war in the last seven months. And so you can imagine that the prosecutor wanted to act very quickly. Hes a brave man. Hes also issued a warrant for Vladimir Putin. So hes willing to go after whoever it takes to keep justice being served. And what do you make of the reaction from the International Community . Its been quite different. I think the reaction from from downing street, from from from downing street, from from washington on with, excuse me, ive got a terrible cough. It keeps catching me unexpectedly. But yeah, the rishi sunak had previously expressed deep concern about what had been happening in rafah. But yesterday they said that this icc action was unhelpful in relation to reaching a pause in fighting. But america has gone full square behind israel. Quite a different approach between the two. It is. It is. It is. I mean, america is not a signatory of the icc , so i guess signatory of the icc, so i guess we shouldnt be surprised that their stance and they have backed israel pretty strongly from the beginning. And again, from the beginning. And again, i think its important that International Justice is upheld, that whoever you are, wherever you are, if you break the law, you are, if you break the law, you will be sought after. What will happen if those arrest warrants are actually issued . What does it mean for those who are charged . We know that hamas leaders spend a lot of time outside of gaza. Across the uae , and it does in theory the uae, and it does in theory mean that Benjamin Netanyahu could be at risk of arrest if he steps into a western country, doesnt it . It does. There are 124 signatories of the icc. So if signatories of the icc. So if Benjamin Netanyahu or the leader of hamas steps into one of these countries, then they are eligible for arrest and it would be wrong for us not to arrest them if they came here, i suppose in all of this, the question is also about the legitimacy of the icc. You know, legitimacy of the icc. You know, if you have america undermining this move or potential move from the icc, you know , is this the icc, you know, is this another international organisation, a bit like the United Nations , where people United Nations, where people stop taking any notice if these prosecutions arent carried out . Prosecutions arent carried out . I think it works both ways. If the icc hadnt called both sides hamas and israel, to account, i think people wouldnt have taken them seriously if theyd remained silent. While so theyd remained silent. While so many civilians are being killed, they would not have been taken seriously. Vie i am frustrated that america is not a signatory of the icc. It does undermine its global credibility. But i its global credibility. But i think this prosecutor has been brave and is doing the right thing. Lady justice, when shes portrayed in statues , is portrayed in statues, is normally blind, holding the scales of justice. That means we should be not. Regarding the countries that are involved , but countries that are involved, but looking at where the crimes are being committed. And thats the most important question. And just briefly, before we let you go, what do you think the reaction this will be like inside of israel, the reaction this will be like inside of israel , because this inside of israel, because this warrant would put mr netanyahu in the company of a Vladimir Putin and the late colonel gaddafi. I know you alluded to that earlier , but that is not that earlier, but that is not attractive company, is it, for Benjamin Netanyahu . He prides Benjamin Netanyahu . He prides himself as a leader of a state that that prides itself on its democracy. Well, Benjamin Netanyahu was a very unpopular leader before the 7th of october dreadful attack, and weve seen pictures from tel aviv with thousands of people on the streets asking for peace, calling for netanyahu to resign. So i think this will add extra weight to the protest movement against his leadership. Okay. Its always to good talk to you, doctor. Krish kandiah, thanks very much for giving us your take on this important story. Appreciate it. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Now, a 6 10, lets take a look at some other stories coming into the newsroom this morning.

Now the 80th anniversary of the d day landings is fast approaching and lots of preparations being done ahead of that important date. Well, if youre out and about on the coast of southern cornwall last night, you might be forgiven for thinking that wed actually been invaded ourselves. Well, the Royal Marines stage an amphibious Beach Landing as part of the 80th anniversary of d day, and we sent our south west of england reporter, jeff moody there to tell us more. Moody there to tell us more. A sunny evening on a cornish beach. But somethings coming. Something the sunbathers arent expecting. Expecting. The safety is the Biggest Issue here, and this is the most dangerous thing theyll do, because in reality , they would because in reality, they would because in reality, they would be doing this at night on a foreign coast or maybe onto some some rocks. So they need to slowly progress. Start off in the daylight without any equipment or weapons, and then move up to full tactical serials at night. Until recently, major Andrew Atkinson was the officer commanding the Landing Craft squadron. The squadrons training for its part in the d day commemorations in france. In a couple of weeks time, theyll retrace the steps of four, seven commando sailing via portsmouth and landing on the 6th of june at gold beach in normandy. The marines will talk to veterans in portsmouth and will meet the last surviving d day Landing Craft driver in france. And while theyre on france. And while theyre on their way to france, their training still continues cuz theres three distinct training courses taking place right now simultaneously one for sergeants, one for corporals and one for marines. Some of these men have been in training for eight years. Sergeant fraser is one of the instructors for today. Hes proud of the work his marines have achieved. Itsjust his marines have achieved. Its just a method inserting troops onto the ground. Weve got very different boats. Weve got very different boats. Weve got aukus offshore raiding craft, chp , different craft. Craft, chp, different craft. But this is the base level mainly used for recces or, you know, sneaky, sneaky stuff. Dropping lads on the ground. Its a routine Training Exercise , but one that holds exercise, but one that holds a special significance in this anniversary year. I dont think the general pubuc i dont think the general public understands d day fully. I think most people think of d day and they just associate it with saving private ryan, and they dont realise how big the uks part was. Indeed, a of the 4000 ships, 80 were royal navy, two thirds of the Landing Craft were driven by Royal Marines. Were driven by Royal Marines. Over half the troops landed were british and her dominion canada. So britains the lead for d day. And in my humble opinion, its the greatest military achievement of all time. And its something the younger generations need to know. And theres only a few veterans left, so its important for us to remember their deeds before the there are no more training continues well into the night, and theyll return in a few days. When the surf is higher and the conditions more challenging. The conditions more challenging. Only then will they be ready to make the journey across the channel to france to take their place in the commemoration. Place in the commemoration. Lie ins jeff moody, gb news.
