Crouched on the floor of a military helicopter, after 326 days in captivity, a smile. The start of his journey back home. At israel s soroka hospital, his last few moments in hiding. A wall of israeli soldiers shielding him from the world he left ten months ago. From a tunnel in gaza to an israeli ambulance in a couple of hours. His family racing the last few metres to greet him. Thin and pale but staff said in a good and stable condition. Translation: it is difficult to explain how it feels. It is better than having a newborn.

But it is still a deadly attack, and one of the missiles hit a hotel in Central Ukraine where at least two people were killed in that attack. And the Rescue Workers are still at the sites trying to clear the rubble and find missing people there. And also, as w
Asks of you, as well, to accept short term pain for long term good, the difficult trade off for the genuine solution. And i know that after all that you have been through, that is a really big ask and really difficult to hear. That is not the position we should be in. Its not the position i want to be in, but we have to end the politics of the easy answer that solves nothing. Lets speak to our political correspondent, nick eardley, at westminster. What big asks is he talking about . That is the million question, and i think what was pretty clear from keir starmer is that the next few months are not going to be that much fun actually when it comes to government announcements. The most striking bit for me was when he said the budget is coming in october and it will be painful, those with the broadest shoulders will face the heaviest burden.
