Yeah, take it extremely seriously. It all extremely seriously. I need to look up more. Maybe i need to look up more. I dont think i look up in the sky enough. Sky enough. No. Maybe not. No. Maybe not. If i had my shopping, id be very so ill keep if i had my shopping, id be veneyes so ill keep if i had my shopping, id be veneyes peeled so ill keep if i had my shopping, id be veneyes peeled for so ill keep if i had my shopping, id be veneyes peeled for you ll keep if i had my shopping, id be veneyes peeled for you now. Ep my eyes peeled for you now. There you go. Its a thing to do. Its a thing to do, anyway, away from all that to the serious stuff this morning, because is the 7th april. Because it is the 7th of april. And that exactly six and that means exactly six months hamas attack on months since the hamas attack on israel, where those hamas militants attacked military bases. Militants attacked military bases. Yes, but also those bases. Yes, but also those communities there was a sort of party rave thing going on, just most dreadful event. Most dreadful event. Well, as you might remember, more than 1100 people were killed in the attack, with 250 people captured as hostages , people captured as hostages, with approximately 130 people still remaining in captivity. Well, of course, that attack triggered what is now the ongoing military action in the gaza strip. As israel has vowed to destroy hamas. To destroy hamas. Well, in marking the six month anniversary, the israeli Prime Minister is facing down protests in the streets, while rishi sunak has called for an end to the war. Well, lets talk to political commentator peter spencer, who joins us now. Morning to you, joins us now. Morning to you, peter. I mean, its remarkable that we are six months on from this , and the tide is turning this, and the tide is turning somewhat certainly within israel, isnt it . Never mind what the likes of, of the white house and number 10 are saying. Absolutely. I mean , the white absolutely. I mean, the white house and number 10 and other western allies are very mindful of the fact that the hamas attack was the worst atrocity that israelis had suffered since the holocaust. But at the same time , subsequent to that, the time, subsequent to that, the death toll among palestinians, mainly women and children , is mainly women and children, is some 30 times the number of people who died in the hamas attack. And so there has been a growing sense of disquiet that this is starting to look like revenge, rather than resolution. And then on top of that, there is whatever the israelis say. Theres evidence that that that theyre not being very enthusiastic about letting aid get through. And again, there is that burgeoning sense of suspicion that just maybe , the suspicion that just maybe, the Israeli Government is using starvation and disease as a weapon of war, war. And as a consequence of that , the tide consequence of that, the tide has, as you say, steve, been starting to turn. And then and starting to turn. And then and then the i think the Tipping Point comes with the, the slaughter of those seven, aid workers, three of whom, of course, were british and so the language is significantly hardening on both sides of the atlantic. Its worth noting , atlantic. Its worth noting, actually, that joe biden a couple of days ago did say that. Look, support for israel is dependent on you guys being a little bit more careful about civilian casualties and rishi sunak, for his part, has, has, has called for a humanitarian pause. I mean, hes he went through the ritual thing of saying, look, we support israels right to defend itself, blah, blah. But and then there was this big but, we are mindful , he said. We are we are shocked and appalled by the civilian casualty toll. And also very were straining every sinew to get aid in and implication being you guys arent exactly helping. And so , so progressively the and so, so progressively the language again against Benjamin Netanyahus prosecution of the war is hardening. War is hardening. And peter, what do you make of the scenes inside israel . Of the scenes inside israel . Because weve seen a number of protests, havent we, in the past few days, but they are growing in number, and we now believe there are 100,000 people on streets last night on the streets last night rallying against the government. Theyre hostage theyre demanding a gaza hostage deal because i suppose to many people in israel, six months on, their goals of destroying hamas and rescuing the hostages still seem very far away. Well, totally, very far away indeed. And i mean, the netanyahu government wasnt that popular even before all this stuff happened. Remember, its a rather slipshod coalition of extreme right wingers and, is israel as a nation is not a right wing nation. And, sure. I think netanyahu his his response, this kind of the shock and awe response that he has prosecuted to the atrocities , he prosecuted to the atrocities, he clearly hasnt delivered the goodsin clearly hasnt delivered the goods in terms of spooking the hamas into handing back the hostages. And so, as you rightly hostages. And so, as you rightly say early, there is now mass protests in israel saying, look, youve called this wrong. And of youve called this wrong. And of course, the, the, the response to that from, from netanyahu seems to be to just dig his heels in yet further because his own political career is very much on the line here. What do we make, peter, of the intervention by Boris Johnson . Out of politics, but never far away, of course , never far away, of course, saying its totally wrong. The idea that we should stop sending arms to israel, i mean, the argument being its the only democracy within the region. It is an ally or a friend. And therefore we must continue to support , come what may. Support, come what may. I mean, thats quite interesting because as biden has sort of been sort of saying, look , support from america is look, support from america is dependent on, on the, on the israelis, you know, reining back on, on slaughtering people wholesale. But he knows that he cant really pull the plug on israeli, on supplying weapons to the israelis because if they if the israelis because if they if the israelis because if they if the israeli state were to collapse , it leaves the, the, collapse, it leaves the, the, the field wide open for other states, which are very much hostile to the United States when it comes to the row within britain, it is to be noted, actually , that that the problem actually, that that the problem of israeli stroke , palestinian of israeli stroke, palestinian support is something that has bedevilled the labour party for months. Its now spilling over into the conservative party. We had Boris Johnson saying, you know, look that just keep, keep it, keep it flowing guys. But we also had a clutch of tory peers, saying that and, and tory mps saying, look, you know , we want, saying, look, you know, we want, we want to sort of stop supplying these guys with arms because of the fact theyre being too brutal with them. I mean, in actual fact, the amount the, the armaments that we supply is very small in the scheme of things is a very small proportion. But the symbolism matters. I just do note that in terms of the politics of it, what was a real what was a problem for, for keir starmer is increasingly looking like a problem for rishi sunak as well. Problem for rishi sunak as well. Okay, peter, thanks very much indeed. Now over 100 flood alerts are in place as storm kathleen continues to cross parts of the northwest and the southwest of england, Northern Ireland, scotland and wales. Well, its not just strong winds, rather confusingly, yesterday was also for some, the warmest day of the year so far. Well, joining us now is senior meteorologist jim dale to tell us more. Very good to see you this morning jim. So it is a confusing picture isnt it. Weve seen storm kathleen causing destruction and parts of the country, but also the warmest day of the year so far for some. What was going on. Yeah the two phases of spring or the two phases of kathleen, you might say, in the west, youre absolutely right. In terms of the of the winds, very strong winds, problems at airports, we saw , i mean, the airports, we saw, i mean, the maximum wind that i saw was it normally is at cairngorm summit, 101 miles an hour. But in, in the land of the living, we saw a 65 mile an hour gust, in north wales, and most people were most people in the west were seeing 50, 60 miles an hour. So, yeah, it was worth noting it was worth being a yellow warning, and it was worth being a named storm. As for the other side of the coin. Yeah, 21. 4 degrees in coin. Yeah, 21. 4 degrees in lakenheath in, in suffolk and suffolk. So give or take around that 21 mark, a fairly wide spread. So 70 degrees t shirt weather, the reason for that early is the air was coming from the south, all the way from the south. So started life down in the canaries, moved across, parts of spain, into france, through france and finally arrived in that sort of southeastern quarter. So yeah, it was a bit of a topsy turvy day , to say the least. But if day, to say the least. But if you think it was topsy turvy in terms of our country, then certainly in terms of germany, for example, and france , we got for example, and france, we got a 33. 9 down in southwest france that wasnt a record, but nonetheless, it was extremely high. But what was a record was 30. 1 degrees in holds back in, germany , and the reason it was germany, and the reason it was a record was the fact that it was, first time its reached 30. 1 this early in the year over 30 degrees. So you can see there was some, some, some records being toppled by those temperatures, around europe , temperatures, around europe, does that give us any hope that were going to get a decent summer . Jim. Yeah, theres always hope. Stephen youve youve got to have hope to know. Weve got to retain up. Look, it will come i should say at this point, Global Temperatures continue to ramp continue to ramp virtually in every country. So make this absolutely clear. Weve been slightly isolated in our Northwest Quadrant here. Thats scandinavia ourselves and ireland and northwest france, seems like weve not seen a spnng seems like weve not seen a spring yet properly. Apart from that little bit we saw yesterday. But other parts of the world. No, theyre beating records left, right and centre. So ill just give you one which came in yesterday. Phuket in thailand. Phuket just below 40 degrees. Just a point one below 40 all time record. And thailand is seeing all time record virtually, virtually every day for the last month somewhere around. So not just thailand, malaysia, some parts of africa , malaysia, some parts of africa, central, central, southern america. Global warming continues. Okay. Jim good to see you. Thank you. Thank you. And you, thank you. And you, thank you. And you, thank you. Well, its a nice summer coming up. Well, possibly potentially. Well, possibly potentially. Well, possibly potentially.
