The israeli ambassador has apologised for comments which appear to show an Embassy Employee plotting to bring down a government minister. Undercover footage, filmed by middle east news network aljazeera, shows an Israeli Government employee saying he would like to take down the Foreign Office minister sir alan duncan. The video also shows the official insulting borisjohnson, as Jane Frances Kelly reports. The emergence of the footage is highly embarrassing for the israelis. It shows shai masot dining with, among others, an aide to the conservative Education Minister robert halfon. Mr masot, a senior political adviser at the Israeli Embassy, says he would like to bring down a member of the British Government. Sir alan duncan has been a fierce critic of israeli policy. Just over two years ago, he described israels control and division of the west bank city of hebron as nothing short of apartheid, where palestinians were treated as second class citizens. In the covert footage, mr masot also describes sir alans boss, borisjohnson, in less than flattering terms. Sir crispin blunt, chair of the Foreign Affairs select committee, described mr masots comments about sir alan as outrageous and deserving of investigation. Ina the director of the Conservative Friends Of Israel said we utterly aaaaaaaaaa condemn any attempt to undermine sir alan duncan, or any minister or any member of parliament. In a statement, the Foreign Office said a while the British Government is not taking any further action, the film raises uncomfortable questions about mr masot, and just how much influence he has been able to wield.

In an article for the Sunday Telegraph, she says she wants to build a Shared Society, with a commitment to fairness, and reveals a deliberate attempt to break away from her tory predecessors. Our political correspondent, Susana Mendonca joins us now. Susanna, what do you think she means by a Shared Society . It is ata it is at a leader ed miliband about assured society back in 2015. To reason me is about in terms of stop focusing on the individual but to look at the responsibilities we have for one another and she said in the past governments have failed do that and she wants to be a focus. That distance is from previous conservative leaders. David cameron talked about the big society which is about charities with injustice. If you look at Margaret Thatcher she said that there was no such thing as society and it was very much about individual sought to may moving in a different direction to her predecessors but the Liberal Democrat leader Tim Fallon Has said he isa democrat leader Tim Fallon Has said he is a hollow words and he does not believe that she wants to deal with injustice. We do not know if she will be putting more money into any specific policies at this stage and it is quite vague at this stage. Why is she talking about this . She was to distance the discussion away from brexit and she does not want to be defined by that and also have domestic policy.

Speaking on the andrew marr show, to be shown later this morning, the First Minister said she was prepared to call a fresh referendum if the terms of brexit were not right. They will be making a big mistake if they think im in any way bluffing.

Last year, an ambulance was called out every 45 minutes. 2016 saw the worst disorder in british prisons for two decades, with critics of the Ministry Ofjustice blaming overcrowding and staff cuts for increases in violence, Drug Overdoses and suicide attempts. While ambulances are sometimes called when an inmate is sick, they are also needed to respond to these incidents. The bbc asked every Ambulance Trust in england to find out how often they have been called to one of the 117 jails in england between january and october last year. The figures show during that time, 10,000 ambulances were needed. That is one on average every 45 minutes, twice the number it was five years ago.

Margaret thatcher famously said there was no such thing as society David Cameron championed his plans for a big society. Now theresa may has changed tack by talking about her vision for a Shared Society instead. But what does she mean exactly . Lets talk to political expertjon tonge. What this theresa may mean by a Shared Society . She is repudiating what Margaret Thatcher and David Cameron both said about Big Government being a bad thing. She said this morning that government should not get out of the way when people of problems and should intervene that is very different from the big Society Vision of David Cameron which looked at the volu Nta Ry Cameron Which looked at the voluntary sector to sort out peoples problems and is very different from the Free Market Vision in which the murky will take Ca Re Of Vision in which the murky will take care of problems that Margaret Thatcher articulated. The murky. Market. This reiterates what theresa may said on the steps of Downing Street about black people having problems in prison and Working Class people not getting on in university. Can the government afford to intervene . It looks as if the age of this territory has come toa the age of this territory has come to a conclusion and the government has abandoned its Spending Targets so has abandoned its Spending Targets so the way is clear that the government to intervene as theresa may suggest. As far as that our specifics they are about making housing affordable that will mean a big housing Building Programme and every su ccess ive big housing Building Programme and every successive government has cut back on social housing building in recent times. Also with ending melt the Health Stigma that is a lack of policy detail. Ending mentor Health Stigma. Mental Health Stigma. We have heard about similar things from labour. This is a statement that tony blair would have been happy to make. He talked about Shared Society and the third week the government intervene sometimes and also used other elements of the free market. Jeremy corbyn would find much of what theresa may says difficult to objective. It is very difficult to objective. It is very difficult to objective. It is very difficult to argue against what theresa may has articulated. Which by minister is ever in favour of unfairness . She thought about a meritocracy in society but how will she implement this . Prime minister. Watch is looking to do this morning is to create the notion of theresa may ism. And very different rebranding of the conservative party. The problem for her as she risks being defined by brexit. She says she is interested in social reform and she argues that the vote for brexit was bought for those who Felt Dispossessed and felt society was against them. Critics say she should be concentrating on brexit and not get sidelined sidetracked with these other issues. She will have no choice between now and march not to concentrate on brexit and she will have a bill this week a decision from the court. Were still waiting for her verdict on whether we should stay in the european Single Market are not. Shes had the biggest entry in british political history and what is surprising is she has articulated any sort of vision beyond brexit. How will donald trump s tweets go down . There will be some sigh of relief that donald trump has said some nice words about theresa may. His previous tweets were about making nigel farage ambassador. Presumably they will get on like a house on fire. Heres helen with a look at this mornings weather. Not as cold as it was across central and Eastern Europe and we had heavy snow in greece yesterday.
