In the biggest israeli military it was a message of force, delivered quietly at first. Israeli soldiers seeking their targets, street by palestinian street. By morning, hundreds of troops backed by armoured bulldozers had arrived in the refugee camps of tulkarem, nablus, tubas, jenin. Home to armed palestinian groups and unarmed civilians. At least ten palestinians have been killed. Hamas says six of them were its fighters. Masoud najjar said he was injured when he opened the door of his house to young men asking for water. Translation: we felt like something came down on us from the sky and there was an explosion. I was unaware of what was going on. When i put my hand on my chest, it was all shrapnel and blood. Injenin, army vehicles surrounded the city s two main hospitals. Ambulances stopped and checked by militaryjeeps. Israel s foreign minister has urged his government to use gaza as a model for dealing with armed groups, here saying that iran was backing them and that this was a
I think both sides have ruled out that this is talking about the uk rejoining the eu in any way, shape orform, or even the customs union, for that matter. But what this is about is some quite concrete bilateral talks. This is the fifth meeting, but this is the first official visit of the prime minister to berlin. And it s just two months after he was elected as prime minister. Now, for his predecessor, rishi sunak, it took 18 months. And i thinkjust that alone is a signal of what london wants to achieve. It s, on the one hand, it s a strong signal that the uk is now open for business with germany and, you know, is very serious about pushing forward some quite concrete bilateral agreements, particularly on defence, because i think that s something that the two countries are keen on working together on. What they can t really do much is when it comes to trade, because that s within the. . . That s within the responsibilities of the eu. But what. . . I think when it comes to closer cooper
We arejust monitoring we are just monitoring the life shot that we are for the german chancellor to maybe flesh out some of the details of that treaty. The moment we will get that treaty. The moment we will get that we will bring it to you. The palestinian red crescent says at least eleven people have been killed in a major israeli operation in the occupied west bank. The israeli army says it is carrying out a counter terrorism operation and has killed nine palestinian terrorists. These are the latest pictures we re getting in from the al far a refugee camp in thejordan valley where palestinian officials say five people were killed. They say six others died in a drone strike nearjenin. Israeli military activity has been reported in at least four palestinian cities tulkarm, jenin, nablus and teobas. It s thought to be the first time since the second intifada a major palestinian uprising between 2000 and 2005 that several cities have been targeted simultaneously. We were going to g
The competence of national governments to do with visas, length of stay, for instance, where certain things can be negotiated. But you are right, overall in terms of the big barriers to access to the european market, including the german market, that will require a negotiation with the european union. So there are certain things they can do on the economic side with the germans today but the big picture is a european picture and that trade agreement that borisjohnson signed with the european union back in 2020. In terms of that conversation with the european union, is that what the labour government want to do, or is this just a softly softly approach and just a realignment of what was a rather turbulent relationship when the conservatives were in power? to be honest, i don t know any more than you do about what they intend to do. It s clear they want to improve bilateral levers with key european statesmen. Today in germany with olaf scholz. Keir starmer will be visiting emmanuel macro
Killed what it calls nine palestinian terrorists. Israel has called its attacks a counter terrorism operation targeting what it described as a mixture of terror groups and terror cells. It claims iran, which backs hamas, is trying to open a new front against israel in the west bank. The israeli raids took place in the cities ofjenin, nablus, tulkarm, believed to be the first time in some 20 years that several west bank cities have been targeted at the same time. Let s take a closer look at the west bank and what it actually is. It s land on the west bank of the riverjordan and bounded by israel and jordan. It s been occupied by israel since the 1967 middle east war, but decades of talks between israel and the palestinians have left its final status unresolved. The international court ofjustice has let s cross live now tojerusalem where we can speak to our correspondent yolande knell. Just bring us up to date on this operation. Just bring us uptodate on this operation operation. Th
