Up until friday, i am working with my clients and helping them with my clients and helping them with their own emotions to get a better quality of life and make changing the world, hopefully understand humans in different ways. We are talking about how to change the world, all range of sexualities, and everything comes back to the basic existential reasoning of what the hell we are here for. What is going on . Can someone remind me why she is a hostage for being jewish living in her own home in israel . It is extremely difficult. I dont have words to look at my son, into his eyes and say this is why it happened. Because i cant comprehend and i cant explain how we live in a world in 2023 that this is still a reason for that kind of hate, of course there is a lot of unknowns. And how do we live with unknowns . I would rather be positive and stay positive. I know that every person that was involved in this attack had a Heart Pumping in them and my wish is that we will see these people, they are humans and they will get to know them. And they wont use them as objects. It might be far fetched, it might be that i am naive, but thatis it might be that i am naive, but that is a reason we talked. I still believe, i hope. It is heartbreaking. It is beyond difficult. We are Living London life. We made friends and three make plans and all kinds of things, and itjust plans and all kinds of things, and it just throws everything plans and all kinds of things, and itjust throws everything that i knew into a different dimension.

Mr secretary, your visit is another tangible example of americas unequivocal support for israel. Hamas has shown itself to be an enemy of civilisation. The massacring of young people in an outdoor music festival, the butchering of entire families, the murder of parents in front of their children and the murder of children in front of their parents. The burning of people alive. The beheadings. The kidnappings. A young boy. Not only kidnap, molested, hurt, attacked. And the sickening display of celebrating these horrors, the celebration and glorification of evil. President biden was absolutely correct in calling this sheer evil. Hamas is isis. And just as isis was crushed, sold to will hamas be crossed. And hamas should be treated exactly the way isis was treated. They should be spit out from the community of nations. No leader should meet them. No country should harbour them. And those that do should be sanctioned. Tony, my friend, i say to you, i say to all of us, there will be many difficult days ahead. But i have no doubt that the forces of civilisation will win. And the reason that is true is because we understand what is the first prerequisite of victory. It is what you just said in our meeting. Moral clarity. This is a time, a particular time, a special time that we must stand tall, proud and united against evil. Tony, you are taking that stand. America is taking that stand.

Stay with us here on bbc news. Hello again. As we go through the next couple of days, the weather is changing. For many of us it will turn that bit colder than it has been. We have got the Weather Front draped across england and wales today, producing cloud, and also some patchy light rain and drizzle. A lot of this will ease through the day. To the north, a lot of dry weather, a fair bit of sunshine, but blustery showers coming in across the north and west, with the winds strengthening here later, and later too, we will see some heavier rain coming into the south west. These are our temperatures, 10 17 north to south. Potentially 20 in the channel islands. Through the rest of the afternoon and into the evening and overnight we have this heavy rain crossing england and wales, with strengthening winds. At the same time, a weak Weather Front crossing scotland and Northern Ireland will introduce more cloud and patchy rain, so not as cold a start to the day as this morning. Still mild in the south. As we head through the day tomorrow, what you will find is this Weather Front is pushing further north. This one is heading further south and eventually the two will meet. And we are looking at a pretty wet day. We will see some large Rainfall Totals in a short amount of time. Showers clearing the far south east in the morning and still a windy day, particularly in the north, the winds easing through the day, as we push further south. Still temporarily mild in the far south, but that will change, because as this Weather Front clears the rain away, it opens the door for all of us to a northerly or a north westerly wind, and that is represented by the blues in the chart, indicating the drop in temperature. So we will see temperatures more likely what we would expect in autumn, but for some they will be below average for this time of year. So in summary this weekend, we are looking at chilly days and cold nights, with some frost. Sunny spells, a few showers we will even see some snow on the tops of the hills and mountains in scotland. So on saturday itself, very windy across the north, with showers blowing in on that north westerly wind. For most it will be dry, with a fair bit of sunshine, but temperatures are down eight to 13 degrees being the maximum north to south. And then as we head on into sunday, there will be fewer showers, but still a bit more cloud in the north west, and once again, with lighter winds, it is still going to feel cool. What we can do from here. But i know there are so many good people. The american Secretary Of StateAntony Blinken by the Palestinian Militant Group hamas.
