Hello and welcome. Senior politicians in hong kong have been celebrating the moment the city returned to chinese rule 22 years ago. Led by chief executive carrie lam and joined by officials from china, they attended a reception a few hours ago. Outside, a flag raising ceremony was held at the harbour front.

Course corrections. I have known Prime Minister netanyahu for a very long time and while we have vehemently disagreed on many occasions, i will always respect his extraordinary bravery for israel on the battlefield as a younger man. I believe in his heart he has his highest priority as is the security of israel. However, i also believe Prime Minister netanyahu has lost his way. Senior israeli figures, including the ambassador to the us, michael herzog, and mr netanyahus chief political rival, benny gantz, criticised mr schumer s intervention, calling it unhelpful, counterproductive, and unacceptable. Mr schumer s comments come as the Biden Administration continues to pressure mr netanyahu not to launch a Ground Offensive on gazas southernmost city, rafah something the white house says is a red line.
