Justice whats happening is not genocide. We reject that. And will always stand with israel and the threats against its security. Mr khan alleges there is evidence to suggest starvation has been used by the Prime Minister and his Defence Minister as a method of war against civilians. He also alleges israeli leaders killed wilfully, intentionally directing attacks against civilians. Mr netanyahu has described the allegations as absurd. In respect of hamas, the prosecutor alleges there is clear evidence they ordered mass murder, rape and the Inhumane Treatment of hostages. A panel of iccjudges must now decide whether they believe the evidence is sufficient to issue warrants, something which could take weeks or months. Our middle east correspondent Lucy Williamson has the latest from jerusalem. Today, israel and hamas found themselves attacking the same target. Their leaders listed side by side at the International Criminal court. International law and the laws of Armed Conflict apply t
No foot soldier, no commander, no civilian leader, no one can act with impunity. Prosecutors accuse israel of a state sanctioned attack against gazas civilian population, including extermination and using starvation as a weapon of war. And hamas of extermination, hostage taking, torture and sexual violence, including rape. Tonight, a very personal rebuttalfrom israels Prime Minister. Mr khan creates a twisted and false Moral Equivalence between the leaders of israel and the henchmen of hamas. This is like creating a Moral Equivalence after september 11 between President Bush and osama bin laden. Hamas also strongly denounced what it said was an attempt to equate the victim with the executioner, and that the palestinian people, like all those under occupation, had the right to resist. In israel, the response from across the political spectrum has been outrage. Israels president said it was scandalous to equate the two sides. One Opposition Leader called it moral blindness. Those in mr n
Gillian slovo, welcome to hardtalk. Thank you. Gillian, you have been writing for many decades, but your recent work, particularly your plays, have focused not so much on your own authorial voice, your imagination, they focused on real peoples real stories. Ijust wonder if youre getting sick of making things up. Im not, actually, because, you know, theres part of me that wants to go back to my desk to be on my own, to make stuff up, but ive really got a lot from working in the theatre and from the collaboration that comes not only from the crew and the directors and the actors, but actually the collaboration that comes from the people ive interviewed. And finding a way to magnify their voice onstage has been actually really a wonderful piece of work for me. Ive really learnt a lot about it, and it also teaches you about dialogue when you want to go back to drama, to writing fiction. I mean, your most recent play, which has been on in the uk and indeed on in new york as well, is all abo
Good evening. Just some of the faces of the victims of 50 years of the infected blood scandal. The wholly damning conclusion of todays inquiry into that scandal describes years of deception and cover up in which doctors, the Blood Services and successive governments did not put Patient Safety first. It found that the biggest Treatment Disaster in the history of the nhs could and should have been avoided. Over the two decades the 19705 to the 19905 more than 30,000 people were infected with diseases like hiv and hepatitis c. 3,000 have died already, many are living with ongoing side effects. The Prime Minister described today as a day of shame for the British State and will announce plans for compensation for the victims of the scandal tomorrow. 0ur Health Editor hugh pym reports. On day one of the inquiry, perry, supported by family, gave evidence. There is a huge impact on family, because they carry you and. He didnt survive long enough to see todays report. He was infected with hiv a
Especially around some of those no foot soldier, no commander, north sea coasts, and it is that bit cooler. No civilian leader, no one so the middle of the week, fairly unsettled, some can act with impunity. Showers on the cards. It does look like the showers become fewer towards the weekend, and for some of us, those temperatures will be on the rise once again. Prosecutors accuse israel bye bye. Of a state sanctioned attack against gazas civilian population, including extermination and using starvation as a weapon of war. And hamas of extermination, hostage taking, torture and sexual violence, including rape. Tonight, a very personal rebuttalfrom israels Prime Minister.
