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

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

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

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

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

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. now in our other headlines at least thirteen people including two children have died in russia after an airplane made an emergency landing in flames the air a float plane had just taken off from sheremetyevo airport north of moscow was bound for more months when a fire broke out the pilots had to turn around and make an emergency landing after the plane was engulfed in flames. a volunteer with the white helmets is one of the latest people to be killed in rebel held northwest syria which continues to be bombed by government forces and russian warplanes syrian civil defense group says the man died in as strike on a village and in a province which has been under attack for six successive days an underground hospital has also been hit by an s. strike knocking it out of service well those are the top stories this hour coming up iran's foreign minister mohammad

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

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

as i said when we met on tuesday evening, there has been growing concern in both the shadow cabinet and parliamentary labour party about the government's ability to deliver on any compromise agreement." our political correspondent jonathan blake is at westminster. we knew this was coming but it's an important day. it certainly is. no more life in that tortuous at times talks process that's been going on for six weeks now so. in an attempt to try to find a compromise that both sides could be happy with and both sides could be happy with and both sides could sell to their parties. in order to win a vote in the house of commons. but although, as you say and as mister corbin acknowledges in the letter, there we re acknowledges in the letter, there were significant areas of agreement between the tories and labour on the detail of the policy, it is perhaps the political reality that stopped the political reality that stopped the two sides being able to do a deal that they would be able to bring their parties on board with. not least because on the labour side there are many labour mps who wou
