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

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 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 at least thirteen people including two children have died in russia after a plane made an emergency landing in flames the air a flight jet had just taken off from sheremetyevo airport north of moscow and was bound for more months when a fire broke out on board the pilot had to turn around and make an emergency landing after the plane was in the gulf to planes. at least twenty members of the security forces have been killed and dozens wounded in a car bombing in northern afghanistan. officials say armed fighters belonging to the taliban and to police headquarters after the blast and opened fire on security forces in the city of political marie. a volunteer with the white helmets is one of the latest people to be killed in rebel held last west syria which continues to be bombed by government forces and russian warplanes the man died in an airstrike on a vill

the election is over but correlation talks are ongoing it is still difficult and the security cabinet still carries on ministers from the former government who are not elected such as enough delhi bennett and i l educated and they are going to present an hour 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 the gyptian so obviously have a lot of leverage over whoever controls gaza they control the only real opening to gaza at ruf are 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 actions can do because hamas seems spiralis to suppress what the slimy jihad has been doing. all right to algeria now where there are reports the youngest brother of the ousted long time president of the lizzie's but a flicker has been arrested celebrity flicka had been on syria's to facto ruler since his brother suffered a stroke in twenty thirteen two of beautifully because former intellige

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

council a security cabinet meeting rather in the coming hours that he will want to try to quash this before it gets to the level of an out of control escalation towards a full scale war but of course once these things start they can be much harder to to to tamp down again and already over the last twenty four hours or so we've seen a lot of violence and it all started really with the border protests on friday. barely a month since the last military escalation waves of israeli warplanes again struck gaza the israeli military said it hit dozens of targets linked to hamas and other factions. throughout the day israeli commanders said scores of rockets were fired from the strip into israel several evading the iron dome anti missile interceptors and striking israeli residential areas around gaza's fringes we already knew that. there was. to react and out there the fight within the terrorist. killed yesterday for the new found freedom we're hoping to palestinian demonstrators were killed and fifty one wounded by israeli snipers during border protests on friday which also saw two israeli so

he has to calm his down. >> he has a national security cabinet that is committed to this strategy. we do want to get to a new and better deal and that would address not only the nuclear threat but would address the missile threat, the regional aggression, the arbitrary detention of american citizens that are currently held in iran. we're going to take a comprehensive approach that's been the new strategy and it's working. >> what about john kerry? you heard the president today say he should be investigated and charged with violating the logan act because of conversations he's had with iranian officials, a lot of conversations he's had. tell us what the president wants. >> we should have one secretary of state at a time, and senator kerry has had numerous meetings with iran's foreign minister -- >> he's suggesting he hasn't. >> senator kerry has confirmed that he has met with the iranian foreign minister in norway,munich, and at the united nations, and those aren't coordinated with the state department. so we don't know what happens in those meetings. what people have reported is th

there are not regular, thoughtful, well prepared and the president with his national security cabinet to weigh the costs and benefits and the various options of these complicated decisions. the national security advisor is hoarding a lot of the decision-making and information, keeping the process to a minimum which i think is, whether it is designed to or has the benefit of enhancing his authority over what happens, there does not seem to be the normal transparent decision-making process and that is concerning not only in the case of iran but a range of issues. andou served republican democratic national security staff. does this seem aberrant, what is your sense of what is going on? you probably have some friends behind.e left what do you think is happening in the white house? >> it is clear it is a friend from the past 50 years. -- different from the past 50 years. , things the white house change, leadership style changes. the things change. the behemoth of the u.s. government, there is lots of people who work for the administration, the behemoth is really hard to get your arms arou

prime minister benjamin netanyahu who held a security cabinet meeting today says this will continue. >> translator: this morning i instructed the idf to continue with massive attacks against terrorist elements in the gaza strip, and i also instructed that forces around the gaza strip be stepped up with tank artillery and infantry forces. hamas bears responsibility for not only its own attacks and actions but also for the actions of islamic jihad, and it is paying a very high price for this. >> reporter: it's important to note that this fighting here has shattered what was relative calm over the course of the last month or so. shore, it heated up at times but there was a truce or agreement in place over the last month that produced the flare-ups and all that have fell apart on friday and saturday morning. this has developed into stages from gaza into more medium range rockets and an anti-tank missile fired and on the israeli side it was smaller military posts and larger buildings that houses what was terrorist infrastructure and then a killing of a gaza official in the first year and
