To the government in 2020 2022. Good to see you, thank you for coming onto the programme. Rishi sunak has made this as flagship policy, it has dominated politics for much of this year. Why is it so important to him . For much of this year. Why is it so important to him . Ultimately, this is about stepping important to him . Ultimately, this is about stopping the important to him . Ultimately, this is about stopping the boats. Important to him . Ultimately, this is about stopping the boats. If important to him . Ultimately, this is about stopping the boats. If we | is about stopping the boats. If we could look back even just ten years, the idea that 30,000 to 50,000 people were crossing the channel every year, that we have lost control of the borders, would seem incredible. We note is an issue that many of the public feel strongly about, and that is what this is about, and that is what this is about, stopping the boats by deterring people from making that Channel Crossing in the first p
Danny danon injerusalem, welcome to hardtalk. Thank you for having me again, stephen. Israel has a vital choice to make right now with regard to iran. Does it respond again, up the ante, escalate, or does it not . What do you believe the choice will be and should be . Frankly speaking, stephen, i dont think we have a dilemma here. We have to retaliate. The question is how we do it, when we do it, against whom. But i dont think we can sit idly by after the attack we saw two nights ago here in israel, 300 projectiles that came from iran directly into israel. Im not familiar with any other sovereign nation that will not retaliate after such an aggressive attack. And we have to make it very clear. Iran chose to send those rockets, missiles and uavs from iran. For many months and years, they use their proxies in the region. They built a very Massive Force around israel, but they decided to escalate. They decided to create a new equation by sending all of those rockets from iran into israel.
Mps will debate legislation shortly which would give the uk some of the strictest anti tobacco laws in the world. The new laws would raise the minimum age for smoking by one year every year. That means it would be illegal for anyone currently 15 or younger born afterjanuary 1st 2009 to ever buy tobacco products. The department for health says smoking kills about 80,000 people a year and costs £17 billion a year in treating smoking related illnesses and through lost productivity. The tobacco and vapes bill also aims to make vapes less appealing to children. But a number of conservative mps have told the bbc they wont back the bill. Heres our Health Correspondent sophie hutchinson. Smoking is the single biggest cause of preventable death in the uk. It kills two thirds of long term users. The aim of the new bill before parliament is to protect younger generations from harm by banning tobacco use for them. One caller with experience of that harm told the Nicky Campbell show on bbc radio 5
Standing trial in a criminal case. This was donald trump setting off from Central Manhattan a couple of hours ago. Hes charged with 3a counts of fraud, relating to hush money allegedly paid to the Former Adult Film Star Stormy Daniels before the 2016 president ial election. Hes now in the courthouse itself for the start ofjury selection. Prosecutors accuse him, of arranging payments to Stormy Daniels in an effort to buy her silence. Donald trump has pleaded not guilty, describing the case as a witchhunt. He spoke to the media just before heading in to the courtroom, lets have a listen. Something like this has never happened before. Theres never been anything like it. Never happened before. Every legal scholar said this case is nonsense. It should never have been brought. It doesnt deserve anything like this. There is no case and theyve said it. People that dont necessarily follow or like donald trump said this is an outrage that this case was brought. This is political persecution. Thi
