hello, i m matthew amroliwala, welcome to verified live. three hours of breaking stories, and checking out the truth behind them. families of israeli hostages who are still being held in gaza have broken through security and stormed a finance meeting in the israeli parliament, the knesset. they were protesting that the finance committee was sitting, deliberating while their children were still in captivity. shouting shame on you and demanding that committee members get up and act the families called for the government to do more, to secure the release of their loved ones. the protest highlights, growing domestic dissent in israel, about the war with hamas that s now in its fourth month. it comes as palestinians in southern gaza say, the israeli bombardment is the most intense they ve experienced, since the war began. the gaza health ministry says that one hundred and ninety palestinians have been killed in the past twenty four hours. earlier i spoke to our middle east
to a withdrawal of israeli forces and an end to the war in gaza. that is the framework of talks ongoing. but right now it bears no reality to the situation on the ground. palestinians in gaza have been sheltering from intense bombing and shooting today in the city of khan younis. 190 people have been killed in the last 2a hours. that s according to the hamas run health ministry. in the last hour, we have been hearing from one of the families of those still held hostage in gaza, who are urging prime minister neta nyahu to negotiate. i asked for his reaction to this report of a proposed two month pause in the fighting. hopefully. it s news to me although i ve heard of the few offers or deals today, but i ve heard at the last few weeks also. so all this ongoing, all the feet dragging, it s horrible for us. it s just every single day is another day that my father and his friend are nearing their end, and we feel like we don t have this time to check exactly what the negotiation w
with laura kuessnberg, paddy 0 connell and henry zeffman. it seems every time you turn on the news, there has been another strike somewhere, there was a strike on an american military base this morning in iraq. so, this hotting up of tensions continues apace, and this morning we had grant shapps the defence secretary on the programme, who said earlier this week we are in a prewar world, who said earlier this week we are in a prewarworld, in who said earlier this week we are in a prewar world, in other words, who said earlier this week we are in a prewarworld, in otherwords, he was anticipating that there will be more conflicts coming down the tracks before too long. which sounds like a pretty alarming message, but i think most politicians you talk to at the moment would say actually thatis at the moment would say actually that is probably true. i at the moment would say actually that is probably true. that is probably true. i heard it summed up that is probably true. i hea
and three european champions cups. there was plenty of drama on day nine of the australian open. sixth seed alexander zverev had to win a fifth set tie break in his match against britain s cameron norrie to make the quarter finals. the german will face number two seed carlos alcaraz who lost just eight games as he beat miomir kecmanovic of serbia in straight sets. it is great to find this level, to play this level in the matches, on the court, i am feeling better and better every day, i m feeling better every match that i am playing, coming into the quarterfinal with a lot of confidence. a shock at the africa cup of nations on the cards, as the hosts ivory coast could be heading out following their 4 0 hammering at the hands of equatorial guinea. emilio nsue s double helped them to a famous win that saw them top group a and qualify for the knockouts. ivory coast need other results elsewhere to go their way. earlier, nigeria had to rely on an own goal to beat guinea bissau 1 0
now on bbc news, political thinking with nick robinson. hello and welcome to political thinking. a conversation with, rather than a news like interrogation of someone who shaped our political thinking about what has shaped theirs. my guest this week made the cover of time magazine when they profiled the first muslim leader of a western democracy. he is, as the headline put it, the new face of scotland. the youngest leader this country has had in a quarter of a century of having a devolved scottish government. but this, admits humza yousaf, here in glasgow, has been a difficult yearfor him. difficult for his party, too, dogged by a police investigation, criticised for failing to deliver, and divided about when independence might actually be possible. humza yousaf, first minister, thanks forjoining me. my pleasure. it has been quite a year! you re telling me! how much do you feel you have aged in that time? i think people can probably look at pictures of before i became first m
