cabinet meeting in israel on sunday a full security cabinet meeting but i think we do get the feeling the the message from the size of the israeli air strikes that this is a big response to this rocket fire the rocket fire of course itself coming in response to what had taken place earlier on friday in terms of the protests that took place on the border two palestinian protesters killed by israeli sniper fire two israeli soldiers hit and injured by palestinian sniper fire and then an airstrike that killed two members of hamas military wing the arcus on brigades all of this following what what took place on friday and all of it as well coming at a sensitive time politically for the israelis in advance of the independence day celebrations next week and the euro vision song contest on may the eighteenth a major international event perhaps the calculation is that israel won't ramp up this military escalation to the extent of a full conflict because of the concerns about those events and this might be the time to try to get it to follow through on what it reportedly promised during the cou

still difficult and the security cabinet which was mentioned earlier still carries on ministers from be a form of government who are not elected such a sudden a fairly bennett and other check ahead and they are going to precedent for much harsher measures which is one reason why you didn't call them in today saturday but rather put it off until tomorrow obviously hoping that by tomorrow it will all be over let me just take you back to a point that you made earlier because we know that hamas and islamic jihad officials have been in egypt talking to mediate has to try to revive a flagging ceasefire with israel how is that likely to play out i mean i mean can it gyptian prevent a further escalation in the violence. the gyptian so obviously have a lot of leverage over whoever controls gaza they control the only real opening go to gaza at roughly a crossing and they are of course. deadly enemies of the muslim brotherhood who are in cahoots with hamas but there is a limit to what the options can do because hamas seems spiralis to suppress what the slimy jihad has been doing and this brings

a five hour long security cabinet meeting has just ended the cabinet has. instructed the israeli army to continue its attacks and its efforts to defend the state and its residents that's the top priority and this does come at what you might say not that there's ever a good time for such a thing to happen but this does come at not a great time for several reasons one ramadan the holy month in islam muslims around the world will begin fasting tomorrow from sunrise to sunset in addition this week israelis will celebrate their independence and also there are tourists from all over the world who will be coming to tell of the in the next week for euro vision it's a massive long time i'm sure you're familiar with that european music. competition so this isn't exactly an operator ok moment for the two sides to be at odds with one another and that what might be why it is that gets mentioned to you there's really very little appetite for escalation there were negotiations underway hamas and islamic jihad had officials in egypt where egypt has for quite some time been

cabinet concluded a five hour meeting in that meeting the cabinet instructed the israeli army to continue the airstrikes and to prepare for escalation saying that the top priority is the state of israel and the security of its residents but a so far it looks like the escalation is continuing that it might be a gradual one but it appears that despite efforts by egyptian mediators to negotiate a cease fire we still don't have one. and so the anticipation is that we will probably see further escalation in the coming days what measure is being taken that we hearing about schools being counseled and so forth. well this is kind of a playbook i mean as is happens when these skirmishes arise when i came into the area southern israel i mean you can tell people have been evacuated very little traffic on the roads in cases where there were traffic on the roads we saw several people had pulled over to the side of the road they were face down on their stomachs hands over their heads as sirens and rocket fire and warning warnings to take cover this is clearly a very tense time for people who live in th

cabinet meeting among the israeli cabinet on monday evening at that time the cabinet instructed the israeli army to continue its airstrikes and to prepare for an escalation citing the fact that the security of the state and its residents were a top priority but as you mentioned mediation efforts have been under way and there's a real hope that just as in previous instances that an agreement and a cease fire can be reached there does appear to be very little appetite on both sides. it's for an escalation and yet things have already progressed to a point we have not seen since the gaza war the death toll is approaching about thirty at this point on the israeli side four israelis have died and you know critics will say this is a high number for israel and prime minister benjamin netanyahu may be facing pressure from the far right members of his coalition thank you very much from ashkelon and how she's going to name that. we want to go to venezuela now where a vigil is carney being held in the capital caracas for the opposition supporters killed in the failed uprising. there is to raise

in a couple of hours time by a security cabinet meeting again led by the prime minister b.s. during his opening remarks he said that it instructed his armed forces to carry on the massive attacks against what he called terrorist elements inside gaza he said he was reinforcing the israeli military around the gaza strip with tillery with armored corps and with infantry now we'd already heard from the israeli military that they were sending an extra armored brigade to the area so that very much tallies with what we're hearing from the prime minister he also says that he holds responsible. whatever the other the second most important palestinian armed factions inside gaza islamic jihad has been doing now that is a standard israeli line that it says hamas is control of the gaza strip and therefore it holds israel holds how most responsible for whatever comes out of the gaza strip but there is a clear signal there that israel will continue to target elements both of hamas and islamic jihad these are the military says it has targeted some two hundred twenty sites inside gaza so far

dangerous situation with that with these threats continuing as you say israel's security cabinet is due to meet at around twelve thirty local time that's nine thirty g.m.t. led by the prime minister benjamin netanyahu there is there has been reporting in the israeli media quoting senior security sources suggesting that this won't be over before two or three days' worth of fighting that presumably benjamin netanyahu feels he needs to under some political pressure show a stronger response potentially than he has in previous such rounds but obviously the calibration of this is very difficult as we've seen there already fatalities on both sides the more that that takes place the more this can build up a momentum of its own on the palestinian side we've had a statement in the early hours of this morning from the fighting factions inside gaza saying that they are considering expanding their range of fire beyond forty kilometers if israel continues its rockets its strikes and artillery strikes so that remains a very delicately balanced and potentially very dangerous situation right harry force

cabinet meeting ended the israeli army has been instructed by the cabinet to continue airstrikes to prepare for an escalation saying that the top priority is the security of the state and its residents in egypt today egypt in the past has played the role of mediator between hamas and israel and has been able to to arrange negotiate cease fires and quell the violence pretty quickly and in egypt today there were talks underway no word yet on any resolution of those talks however natasha the timing of this latest conflict between hamas and israel is less than ideal both sides don't want or don't appear to want an escalation why is that. that's repeatedly been something when i was here. last year and early into this year it's been a constant theme neither side supposedly wants an escalation and yet these skirmishes continue regarding the timing there are several things to keep in mind tomorrow the holy month of ramadan where muslims around the world will fast from sun right to sunset begins you also have is really celebrating their independence later on this week and the following week

cabinet meeting starting at one fifteen pm local time ten fifteen g.m.t. at the same time the israeli military is saying they expect several days worth of fighting at least and this is a major israeli attack going on the strikes on gaza that we've seen in the last twenty four hours there is always the prospect of the momentum of these sorts of events taking on their own course whatever the sides may want to see happen in terms of the escalation howry thanks very much indeed all morning the body is coeditor of an online magazine specializing in middle eastern affairs he says israel is not doing its part to deescalate tension. the media context of the most recent escalation is that as part of the cease fire discussions the israelis had apparently committed not to use live ammunition and confronting march so we turned administrations this past friday and of course they did they killed one protester and wounded dozens of others including journalists and medics and this is in the broader context of israel not implementing a number of commitments that have made

want to reach out here's the problem within the trumpet ministration there remains division within his cabinet about how to proceed with iran well the president may favor a negotiated solution sees value in dialogue his national security advisor that continues to along with the u.s. secretary of state might pump a 0 tends to be more hawkish in terms of continuing the maximum pressure campaign in its approach to iran so we're hearing that there is division within the trump white house with regards to how to proceed and certainly we our effort in to try and find out how the united states might respond to suggestions of talks to resolve this escalating crisis whether it be in qatar whether it be in iraq so far the united states at least from the national security council has not responded ok can belief and i thank you very much indeed well let's stay with this moment is a professor of english literature and orientalism the university of tehran and joins us now law even for. the arabian cap but so. we've heard donald trump saying that he's willing to have a dialogue he's passed on his 4 number tha

and remember, just to attend these meetings of the national security council cabinet ministers have to sign the official secrets act, and in theory breaking that act is something that is against the law. but politics moves very, very fast, gavin williamson has in the past few minutes been replaced by penny mordaunt, who was the international aid secretary, she becomes the first female defence secretary, and in her shoes a promotion for another young rising star of the tory party, rory stewart, who was a more junior minister, who now moves into the cabinet for the first time, replacing penny mordaunt. so a new look cabinet in part at a time of intense political difficulty for the prime minister, still strong enough to move ministers around? perhaps. laura kuenssberg in westminster with the very latest, thank you. straight to the weather with stav. a top temperature of 18.5 celsius, the best of the sunshine across the eastern side of the country, then later for northern ireland, eastern side of the country, then laterfor northern ireland, a band of cloud and rain spreading eastwards, fiz

she's not in control of her cabinet, she's not even in control of the national security council, and now that's very, very serious. some of gavin williamson's friends believe the government's inquiry jumped to a premature conclusion. downing street say they had compelling evidence and they regard the matter as closed. but that might prove to be wishful thinking, given the venom and anger of gavin williamson's response. speaking to reporters this morning, the work and pensions secretary, amber rudd, gave her reaction to mr williamson's dismissal. good morning. was the prime minister right to sack gavin williamson? the prime minister has made a decision, i sat on the national security council for many years. it is very important everybody has confidence in it so of course the prime minister made her own decision. do you think a criminal investigation is needed? it is up to the prime minister. it is up to her to make the decision. we need to have confidence in the national security council. gavin williamson said his sacking was in part down to his poor relationship with the cabinet secr

it is notjust any cabinet meeting, it is the security council. we have had leaks from all other cabinet meetings, this is different. this is a meeting that include some of the spy chiefs, and it is really damaging to britain's reputation as one of the greatest intelligence and national security powers in the world that we can't keep secrets in this setting. powers in the world that we can't keep secrets in this settingm powers in the world that we can't keep secrets in this setting. it is a breach of trust between the spooks, the security services, and the politicians, who are their elected masters, yes, but also have to be entrusted with some of the big secrets. it is ironic, almost, that this was a row and a discussion on the national security council about whether huawei could be eavesdropping on our 5g system, which is... it is arguably an issue we should continue to discuss. williamson's argument was against it, they were saying they shouldn't, and lots of people think he might be right. they mentioned that parting comment, adding of all the

china's security and its intent. perhaps the most robust minister in the cabinet and taking a tough line with china over the south china sea. i with china over the south china sea. , gavin williamson. china has claimed over 90% of the south china sea and all these reefs and islands and it has crated artificial reefs and it has crated artificial reefs and he was very proud of the fact that hms argyll had sailed through that hms argyll had sailed through that contested area and that attitude to beijing is very at odds withjeremy attitude to beijing is very at odds with jeremy hunt and attitude to beijing is very at odds withjeremy hunt and others attitude to beijing is very at odds with jeremy hunt and others who have takena with jeremy hunt and others who have taken a more consolatory line to beijing. ithink taken a more consolatory line to beijing. i think others have talked about a golden age of cooperation, but that is not a view shared by governments in. which is one of the reason that other people have said, well

she‘s not in control of her cabinet, she‘s not even in control of the national security council, and now that‘s very, very serious. some of gavin williamson‘s friends believe the government‘s inquiry jumped to a premature conclusion. downing street say they had compelling evidence, and regard the matter is closed. but that might prove to be wishful thinking, given the venom and anger of gavin williamson‘s response. our political correspondent ben wright is in westminster for us this morning. so we heard there, clearly, lots of tense exchanges there last night, what happens next? is an investigation now likely?‘ what happens next? is an investigation now likely? a police investigation? well, that will be a matter for the metropolitan police. they need to decide if they think there has been a breach of the official secrets act. it is something that some opposition parties are calling for. but as far as number ten are concerned this matter is now closed. and it is an extraordinary ministerial sacking, this is. i defence secretary dismissed for leaking from the national securit

in the cabinet office guidelines on security, on a need—to—know basis and keeping things private. so that is significant. it has embarrassed the government but not given any of our secrets away. do you think the police should be involved? there are suggestions that mr williamson his self might not mind that because he wa nts to self might not mind that because he wants to clear his name, he has said he would swear his innocence on the lives of his children. the language is like a schoolboy pleading to his headmaster, and that, i don‘t think, helps, but it is up to the person who owns the information to decide what level the investigation should be held at and that is the prime minister. because for the police to get involved, unfortunately, have come from opposition political parties which i do not think it is helpful because it is politicising something before it has even got to the police. it is appropriate for the police. it is appropriate for the police. it is appropriate for the police independent of political direction to decide on the evidence thatis direction to decide o

i was in the cabinet for five years, iattended national security council meetings, but it would never have occurred to my colleagues in the lib dems or the conservatives to have gone anywhere near the press on national security council meetings. and to preach that taboo is extra nearly serious in terms of the integrity of intelligence information. some people making the point that the decision was essentially leaked was a decision that would've been refuted in due course anyways. but that is not an argument? indeed, ithink the decision the prime minister made, certainly on the basis of the experience i had in the government dealing with this, was eminently sensible. but the problem is here is that at a meeting attended by the top brass of the military and intelligence services, its inner workings have just been exposed to the outside world. they simply cannot operate on that basis. and this is probably more serious than just handing out a piece of paper which is regarded as secret or confidential. that's what we normally regard as a breach of the official secrets act, but describing t

what does that tell us about the disarray in the cabinet in which you sit? well, we have that issue, but we have actually had many occasions in our political history where cabinet ministers have left for a variety of reasons... with respect, we haven't had a cabinet minister of this seniority fired for more than 30 years, and we are talking about the betrayal of the confidences, under the official secrets act, within the national security council. so for outsiders looking in, what does it say, i repeat, about the disarray in your government today? well, i think the fact that the government has taken it so seriously when we have had a leak — and it is a very serious thing when it comes from the national security council — is a sign that britain completely understands how important these things are and is willing to take action. but i would just make the point — we talk about political instability, we have a hung parliament in britain, it is an unusual thing in our system to do that, and of course that makes it challenging when you have a very controvers

and the security establishment says in part, that that cabinet table on the politicians, the democratic masters, but they can't keep confidence and it was deadly serious when it happened but no one really expected it to end with a cabinet minister being sacked. because theresa may is considered weak. we have got several papers to go, we have to do the front of the metro, go while way and shut up. one of his finest moments when the government told them to go away. he keeps a pet tarantula called cronus, he uses fireplaces,... called cronus, he uses fireplaces, . .. the called cronus, he uses fireplaces,... the other headline is... leading on this, fires williamson for huawei leak, starting to outline some of his more quirky, touched away in the article there is a quote from the senior military official who said that he had praised mr williams and sankey was usually positive for them. he really championed the armed forces and one of the reasons why he's got this is because he was a bit of an army guy, he got the more money, which is very good for them. but he was also a very close ally of

sir mark sedwell, the cabinet secretary and the national security advisor, normally in the shadows, believes the evidence against mr williamson is compelling. but friends of the departed minister fear the leak inquiry called by number ten was partly an operation to find the evidence after choosing the culprit. there are calls tonight to bring the police in, to get to the bottom of exactly what took place. he denies it, and he deserves to have his voice heard, and the way to do that is in a criminal inquiry, given that it appears that the law has been broken in this case. confidence in anyone and anything in westminster is limited everywhere. one cabinet career at an end, for now, the government shaky at the helm. there have been violent clashes in paris, where far—left activists and anarchists battled with police during may day demonstrations. the protesters started fires, broke shop windows pelted the police with bottles and stones. at one stage they attacked a school building. the police have responded with tear gas and baton charges. the so—called yellow vest anti—government activis

anything that is about a discussion that is in the cabinet room in a national security council, if the cabinet minister doesn't understand how to use that information and keep it secret, keep it out of the ears, nuanced or otherwise, from a journalist, than they are not fit to serve on the national security council, let alone the cabinets. that ought to be clear to everybody. and we are talking about issues of national security, it is paramount. the united states, or consist security ally, are extremely concerned about huawei and they will be extremely concerned about the decision as was leaked, and therefore they would be worried about that. if our security services who deal with our american collea g u es who deal with our american colleagues on a daily basis haven't had the chance to explain the decision, put it in context, say it was still an ongoing debate, then this league, whoever leaked it, would have undermined the relationship. i don't think we should think this is a small matter, it isa should think this is a small matter, it is a matter of the utmost gravity. that is why li

indian prime minister, narendra modi, secures another five—year term after winning a landslide general election victory. the authorjudith kerr, who delighted millions of children with her bestseller the tiger who came to tea, has died aged 95. and coming up later in the hour, we talk to david linsey, whose brother and sister were killed in the sri lanka terror attacks. it's 5 o'clock. our main story is that bob higgins, a former youth football coach known as a "star maker" at southampton and peterborough, has been found guilty of indecently assaulting young trainees. a jury at bournemouth crown court found him guilty of 45 counts of indecent assault. the allegations arose after the nspcc set up a dedicated helpline for people who had encountered childhood abuse within football, following coverage on the bbc‘s victoria derbyshire programme in november 2016. higgins is due to be sentenced at a later date. our correspondent duncan kennedy is in bournemouth with the latest. this is one of the worst cases of abuse to come out of that football scandal that first arose in 2016. bob higgins
