and that israel s actions had no legitimacy. he called on the us and the uk to support a ceasefire. but he also stressed that france clearly condemns what he called the terrorist actions of hamas. he was speaking to our europe editor, katya adler. we have had weeks of aid organisations sounding the alarm about gaza and so you have now said that a humanitarian pauses in fighting are not enough, and there needs to be work towards a ceasefire. are you disappointed that other world leaders are notjoining you in that call, like the us or the uk? no, i hope they will. and let s be clear, i mean, i was one of the first leaders to call the prime minister and president of israel after the terrorist attack on the 7th of october. we clearly condemn this terrorist attack by this terrorist group and recognise the right of israel to protect itself and react. but day one, we say that this reaction, the fight against terrorism, because it is led by a democracy, should be compliant with

conservative manifesto launch. last night saw four party leaders grilled by a challenging question time audience on bbc one. rishi sunak was asked about the investigation into alleged bets made by two tory candidates as well as the party s director of campaigning and one of his own close protection officers. the prime minister said he was incredibly angry and that anyone with connections to him or the conservative party found to have broken gambling rules should face the full force of the law. the labour leader sir keir starmer was pushed on his previous support for former leaderjeremy corbyn, who he said would have made a better prime minister than borisjohnson. sir ed davey of the liberal democrats and the snp sjohn swinney were also grilled on the nhs, trust and past promises. but it was the prime minister who arguably faced the most challenging questions of the evening on the alleged betting scandal. when asked why those under investigation hadn t been suspended fro
