It is vital to be clear on principles, starting with the fundamental principle of respecting and protecting civilians. I have condemned unequivocally, the horrifying and unprecedented 7th Of October acts of terror by hamas and israel. Nothing can justify the deliberate killing, injuring and kidnapping of civilians, or the launching of rockets against civilian targets.

Let me be clear, no party to an Armed Conflict is above International Humanitarian law. The un Secretary General also reiterated his support for a two state solution. Even in this moment of grave and immediate danger, we cannot lose sight of the only realistic foundation for the true peace and stability, a two state solution. Israel must see the nee

hello and thanks forjoining us. it s a big night for anyone interested in the royals, because harry and meghan s highly anticipated tv interview with oprah winfrey is just getting under way. it was recorded last month in los angeles. it comes after the duke and duchess of sussex decided to step back as senior members of the british royal family last year. our north america correspondent peter bowes says there is huge interest in the royal family as celebrities but the issue of racism is likely to be discussed. it is an issue but i think also, and just watching some of the commentary over the last few days, many americans are watching this because of the soap opera style interest in the activities of the british royal family. they have watched the crown here, which is raised on a fit dishes interpretation of real life events. i think thatis that is the fishbone through which many people see the royal family. what they are looking at this interview for is some real life and rea
