he came from the same community in the video. both sharply criticising the video. both sharply criticising the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu. it is not clear if they are reading from a script, and a statement a spokesman from islamic jihad said that they are prepared to release both hostages for humanitarian and medical reasons but if only what it called appropriate measures were made. those, the latest on the hostage video that has been released. let us take you to tel aviv and show you the live pictures. a large protest going on there, the family of some of the hostages and doctors and health care professionals protesting outside of the international office of the red cross. we have heard from several different israeli voices, the demand that the red cross try to get access to see the hostages that are being held. so the demonstration outside of their offices. of course, 240 hostages currently being held. of course, as every day passes, so the increase in the anguish and agony for those families as they get close to the israeli troops and the intensity of the fighting we have been witnessing. so we will keep it and i live pictures and bring you with more detail as it comes in. let's pause from all of that and as promised let's catch up with all of the sport headlines of the day. hugh, good evening. hello to you and we will pick up on a store you have been mentioning. the father of liverpool forward luis diaz has been released by the colombian guerilla group that kidknapped him 13 days ago. luis manuel diaz had been held by members of the national

at a petrol station and the kid numbers later released luis diaz's mother but held onto his father for 13 days. a government delegation had been in peace talks with the rebel group and confirmed they

manuel diaz. more news at 630 but that's all of the sport for now. former home secretary dame priti patel has told the covid inquiry that coronavirus laws were complex and highly confusing for both the police and the public. she said then—health secretary matt hancock's department was entirely behind drawing up the legislation, and she felt the ten thousand pound fines for lockdown breaches was disproportionate. dame priti was also asked about what she and the home office did around enforcement of the rules by the police. the home secretary can ask questions, clearly around an operation that has taken place, i did that all the time. and notjust on coronavirus, other activities taking place in policing throughout the pandemic. that is partly holding them to account, asking them around operational work, them to account, asking them around operationalwork, but them to account, asking them around operational work, but is actually going on and taking place. specifically, around the pandemic and egregious breaches, a phrase obviously that has been used and is familiar throughout the pandemic as well. the police have to exercise their professionaljudgment and when it comes to egregious breaches, the police were very clear about the approach that they were taking throughout the pandemic. it was about engaging, explaining, going to the four ee process, the enforcement piece was only the last resort. when they felt that there was potentially an egregious breach or something serious that may have happened, that is not for a home secretary to gas with the act would be because law enforcement and our police officers are the ones that are there to look after public safety and enforce the law. they are the ones that would make thatjudgment law. they are the ones that would make that judgment effectively law. they are the ones that would make thatjudgment effectively in terms of when to apply that. did you formally call — terms of when to apply that. did you

very clearly. secondly, i had reminded many colleagues include my colleagues in downing straight, but across government as well, and unprecedented times we have asked the police to do unprecedented things as well in terms of law enforcement and the roles and responsibilities that they would take and were very much based on public health, safety and protection.— public health, safety and

exchanges? an interesting aside that discussion _ those exchanges? an interesting aside that discussion with - those exchanges? an interesting aside that discussion with the - those exchanges? an interesting i aside that discussion with the home secretary about the operational independence of the police and we can see that in the discussion today about the current home secretary, but in this instance, it was interesting. priti patel was trying to distance herself from quite a lot of the decisions made in the potomac —— pandemic and saying that they were rules brought into place and we heard that the police found it incredibly difficult because 140 times more than that, the rules changed. in one case, they said it was in 16 minutes notice. that police were given notice of a new rule coming in from the department of house. the home secretary, priti patel, saying it was all down to the department of health bringing in new rules and it was responsible. she was asked, when you are a big beast in the cabinet, by did you do nothing to change that? and she said, ultimately, well, next in a row, they need to be a better system. there was one instance is policing where she did was an opinion and that was the sarah everard vigil that took place after that murder, remember, the huge public outcry at the time. there were a large number of police arrests at that event, priti patel said that she felt that was totally inappropriate, she said she was dismayed by the actions of the police there. something else she criticised, was the decision by the government to bring in very high fines, £10,000 fines for breaching covid regulations. she said she thought that was excessive, although we saw that then prime minister, borisjohnson, had been pushing for that, saying, writing on a note, saying he wanted it to be known that when people exited locked down that there was going to be big fines and that there were going to be a tougher enforcement, even though he of course himself, later was the of those fines for attending a event in downing straight. interesting as well, she was pressed very much for quite a long time on what the police, what the home office did to protect the most vulnerable. so women at risk of domestic abuse, children at risk of abuse as well, because the lockdown measures meant that those people were then confined in locations, homes, where they were subject to or exposed to abuse. priti patel said that had been in their minds it had been looking at it, but she had to concede, under questioning, while there was no reference to that in internal documents until after the first lockdown had happened. at no point in all of this, there was no special definition, created legally, for people to leave a lockdown, their home in a lockdown, to escape domestic abuse. it was guidance that you could leave if you face harm, but nothing specific that communicated about domestic abuse or child abuse. and she also talked about the fact that they had allocated quite a lot of money to deal with this, again she had to admit, actually it was not seven and 50 million i had been in some of her written evidence it was a much smallerfigure and written evidence it was a much smaller figure and that was delivered quite a few months later. thank you very much for that there. talking about it right at the beginning, the prime minister's office saying riches sunak is full confidence in the current home secretary, suella braverman after she sparked that major row after questioning the integrity of the police. writing in the times is saying the officers played favourites when policing protests by cracking down on the right wing demonstrator and largely ignoring, what she called, pro—palestinian mobs. numberten what she called, pro—palestinian mobs. number ten also is it had not approved the article and that is looking into what had happened. our political correspondent peter saull reports. another pro—palestinian march like this in london is planned this weekend, on armistice day — but not at the same time as the commemorations and away from the cenotaph. the police believe the risk of major unrest isn't high enough to warrant calling it off. there is an almighty row about in westminster, though, with the home secretary at its heart. take a look at the language suella braverman uses here in an article for the times. she writes... she goes on... and then adds... she was called to explain herself in the commons, but the policing minister went on her behalf, explaining that ms braverman was with a close family member who's been having an operation. this weekend should first and foremost be about remembering those who gave their lives in defence of this country. any disruption to remembrance services would be completely unacceptable and an insult to their memory. and i have confidence the metropolitan police and other police forces will ensure this weekend passes off peacefully and without disruption. the home secretary's political opponents weren't holding back, though. she is deliberately inflaming community tensions in the most dangerous of ways. she is encouraging extremists on all sides, attacking the police when she should be backing them. it is highly irresponsible and dangerous and no other home secretary would ever have done this. a key question here is whether or not the prime minister sanctioned the home secretary's words. and this morning, downing street confirmed that rishi sunak did not clear the article, with number 10 adding that it was looking into what had happened. for now, though, we're told she does still have the prime minister's full confidence, but beyond westminster, there are wider concerns about the impact of words will have on the ability of the police to do theirjob. it is fraught with difficulties and there is a heavy political element to many of the things the police in london have to tackle. but the police are not political. they must police without fear or favour. their operational independence is of enormous importance. this is a politician who certainly knows how to get tongues wagging — and maybe, just maybe, she has one eye on being conservative leader one day. but is her current position on increasingly shaky ground? pete saull, bbc news. live now to westminster where i'm joined by rosa prince, editor of politco's london

asylum—seekers were pretending to be gay so that they would be able to say they were being persecuted in their home countries. now here she is again, at the weekend she talked about homelessness being a lifestyle choice and now she is having a big p0p choice and now she is having a big pop at the police over these protests. it pop at the police over these protests-— pop at the police over these

yes, as the ministerial code says, cabinet ministers have to maintain cabinet responsibility and that means clearing newspaper articles with number ten. there is some question on whether there is little room because perhaps this was not a matter of policy, perhaps something else, offering an opinion, don't know whether that will be the way of getting out of this. but on the surface it seems like there is some issue there. surface it seems like there is some issue there-— issue there. what you think is really going — issue there. what you think is really going on. _ issue there. what you

think there are _ on here? i'm not sure it is exactly that. i think there are a _ on here? i'm not sure it is exactly that. i think there are a couple of| that. i think there are a couple of motivations for suella braverman. one, as we havejust mentioned, she likes the limelight and everyone talking about her. another is i think she genuinely believes the things that she says. i think she is not saying them just for the sake of it. it's not posture. i think it is coming from the heart. yes, another aspect of it is she certainly does have leadership ambitions. i think she thinks that to say these things will appeal to the conservative membership who are the people who will be electing the leader next time around. i was thinks she does not care if that gets her sacked. i think from her point of view, it is almost win—win because if she is sacked, then she will be on the back benches and causing all sorts of problems for rishi sunak and she will further her aims in that respect and more and more able to go around the country. if she does not, then she said these as home secretary which thejob then she said these as home secretary which the job that i think she enjoys.

direction on where they currently are, if he does not sac her, then he looks bleak, potentially and it is a constant distraction, minister after minister. will make its interviews with the prime minister, they will all be asked about her latest intervention. —— he looks bleak. i intervention. —— he looks bleak. i think it is 100% right. i think it is a lose lose. i think he is sick and tired of his home secretary constantly overshadowing him. last month he had his conference speech which no one was talk about because everyone was talking about suella braverman. this week it was this king's speech. it was meant to be a big moment for him when he set out his legislative agenda. now we are all talking about suella braverman. but as i mentioned, he doesn't sac her, there is a realfocal point of opposition for him. and he does not want everyone to be talking about what happens in a leadership contest because that means it is all over for him and he is definitely going to lose the next election and therefore a leadership election is on the cards. so i think that is probably what is happening in number ten right now. they are sort of doing the cost—benefit analysis in trying to see which one is the least worst option. trying to see which one is the least worst option-— worst option. your gut instinct? what ou worst option. your gut instinct? what you think _ worst

let's stay with that broader focus on this began. television presenter ross kemp has told bbc essex he will be at the festival of remembrance this saturday, as many of his friends and family served in afghanistan and the forces. he had this to say about the pro—palestinian march that is due to take place on the same day... they fought for one thing, i think, called democracy. and i think we have to remember the importance of what they sacrificed their lives for or offered their lives up for, and that gives other people the right to demonstrate. do you think the demonstration should take place that day? do you think it should take place on a different day? some people might say it's provocative. some people may say it is ill—timed. i'll say it's their democratic right to march. and as long as they don't, if they can not come into the pathway of people who are involved in the remembrance procedures, then that is their democratic right. and ijust hope that they remember to wear a poppy. the queen has visited westminster abbey to pay her respects to men and women ahead of armistice day this weekend. queen camilla placed a cross at the field of remembrance which commemorates those who lost their lives serving in the armed forces. the field where anyone is permitted to plant a poppy in memory of loved ones is a tradition dating back nearly 100 years. that is nearly at from the programme today. let's just return to the middle east briefly before i go. interesting, all of the talk pauses that we have heard from the whitehouse. that news that there were going to be for our pauses every day from the israeli military to allow more people to get out. these, some pictures from today of the exodus. so many people actually heading from north to south, just like yesterday. interesting comments from the united nations and the last little while. they have set, and he halts to fighting between israel and hamas in the gaza strip for humanitarian purposes would need to be coordinated with the united nations and need to be agreed by all parties to the conflict to be truly effective. that, interesting because we have seen over the last few weeks, certainly, israel keeping the united nations at arms distance. they were outraged and some comments by antonio guterres. so a spokesperson saying that all of these pauses need to be coordinated with the united nations, the suggestion there that it is not. thank you for watching and hopefully i will see you at the same time tomorrow. bye—bye. hello. there have been no shortage of big shower clouds out there today, some really hefty downpours, as you can see from the earlier satellite picture. the speckled shower clouds racing in from the atlantic, all circulating around an area of low pressure. that low sticking with us through tonight and into tomorrow, so there will be further showers. some clear spells between the showers overnight tonight. but this clump of showery rain will move away from the republic of ireland and then into wales, parts of the midlands and south—west of england. by the end of the night, the winds will strengthen here as well. so it will be mild across this south—west corner, 8 degrees for plymouth, but the northern half of the uk will get quite cold. some parts of scotland, —3, —4 celsius, so frost and fog for some. into friday, low pressure still with us. with the isobars squeezing together first thing in the south—west corner, we could see a spell of gales for exposed parts of south—west england and the channel islands as this clutch of heavy thundery downpours moves out of wales and the midlands and down into southern counties of england. that should then clear during the morning. behind that, some sunny spells. but with the winds turning more northerly, that'll focus the showers into areas exposed to the wind, so the north coast of northern ireland, north wales, merseyside, eastern parts of england and perhaps most especially northern scotland by the end of the day. that's where we'll see the bulk of the showers. temperatures of 7 to 12 degrees. as this area of low pressure rolls away eastwards into the start of saturday, we see this brief window of mainly fine weather. light winds, so some fog patches around on saturday morning, frost for some. but then, actually, this looks like the driest and brightest day of the weekend. very few showers, a little bit of sunshine, temperatures generally between 6 and 12 degrees. could be a little bit colder than that if mist and murk lingers for any length of time. now, as we head into saturday night, one frontal system tries to push in from the south—west but then breaks apart. it will provide some extra moisture, though, to give rise to some quite widespread mist and fog, i think, on sunday morning, and some of that could be really slow to clear. it could be quite a murky day. the further north and east you are, a decent chance of staying dry. further south and west, it looks like we'll see rain moving in from the atlantic. it will start to turn a bit milder down towards the south—west and the channel islands. so to sum things up for this weekend, saturday looks mostly dry, sunday will bring rain for some. and overnight, we will see some frost and some fog. at six... the prime ministerfaces calls to sack the home secretary after she defied downing street and accusing the police of bias over pro—palestinian protests. in the newspaper article suella braverman questioned whether the police are playing favourites in the way they deal with protests. being home secretary, having seen a number of other friends do the job, is a tough and pressurised job. i would not want to second—guess a ministerial colleague. the question really is for the prime minister. he must know that this isn't the way in which a home secretary should behave. also on the programme... the white house says israel has agreed to four—hour military pauses in gaza. thousands of people are still trying to flee northern gaza as the fighting intensifies. the boss of mcdonald's in britain is called before parliament after allegations of a toxic workplace culture at the restaurant chain
