Everything i can to ensure that the former president never again gets near the oval office. And. How to sell the Astra Zeneca jab, france tries to get rid of its huge stockpiles of the british vaccine. Hello and welcome. The un has expressed fears of a full Scale War as the deadly conflict between israeli forces and palestinians continues for a third day. Israels prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, warned palestinian militants that this wasjust the beginning threatening to strike with blows they havent dreamed of. Tonight president biden said he had spoken to Mr Netanyahu and said he hoped the violence would end sooner rather than later. At least 65 palestinians including 15 children and six israelis are reported to have been killed since monday. In the past few days palestinian militants have fired a Mass Barrage of rockets into israel, including on tel aviv. Israel has carried out a heavy bombardment of gaza launching hundreds of Air Strikes. Tensions have been growing injerusalem partly fuelled by a long Running Threat to evict palestinians from their homes in eastjerusalem. It all came to a head on friday at Al Aqsa Mosque the site where it stands is highly sensitive, sacred for both muslims and jews. Israeli police used Cs Gas and Stun Grenades at the mosque and palestinian youths threw rocks at them. And israeli representatives but we begin our coverage with this report from our middle East Correspondent tom bateman. The worlds asking if the region is on the brink of war. People who woke to this feel its already here. Palestinians in gaza faced the fiercest Israeli Bombardment since the last all out conflict. Israel says its going after militant leaders. Some were killed in their homes. But civilians died in this strike, say palestinian health officials. In gaza, a territory under blockade, grief quickly turns to anger. Dozens have now died since the violence erupted on monday. Rocket fire from gaza has continued deep into israel, and the sirens are near nonstop in towns close by. Sirens wail. Ok, thats an interception lets get in. As weve heard Air Strikes pound the Gaza Strip just a couple of miles away throughout the course of this morning and into the afternoon, more retaliation, more fire, from gaza. Underfire, asha and his son ran for the safe room. But their neighbour, an 89 year old woman, didnt make it. She is seriously injured. Her carer died in the strike. There are growing international calls for restraint, but for now it seems that no one here is listening. It is the intensity of these attacks that has led both sides to say they will step up their strikes in retaliation. A descent into much further violence seems inevitable. More rockets are shot down in israels skies, jewish arab town of lod, where a state of Emergency Violence is spiraling. Herejewish Extremists Attack in ambulance. And then check a car to see if arabs or dues are inside. Along the town Israels Leader calls it anarchy. A wave of anger that started in jerusalem it anarchy. A wave of anger that started injerusalem has spilt out to the occupied territories and into israel itself. The country is engulfed in multiple flashpoints. It may be too late to contain it now. Lets hear now from both sides in this conflict starting with Lieutenant Colonel Jonathan conricus, the international spokesperson for the Israel Defence forces. I asked him what was driving israels actions. Our primary concern is the safety of israeli civilians and how to provide defence for them while they are being constantly bombarded by rockets. And while hamas is trying to emerge from tunnels along the border or to fire anti tank missiles along the border. Thats our primary concern. Thats what were busy doing and thats why we have been retaliating against hamas and attacking Military Targets, not civilians but Military Targets inside gaza. After all its our obligation, thats what were here to do. And as long as hamas continues to fire together with other Terrorist Organisation at our civilians, that is what we will keep on doing. Let me ask you finally, what is your anticipation for the coming days . Because clearly the un is worried this may accelerate and this may the law of Unintended Consequences that we end up in a situation where we had this full scale military conflict. On one hand we dont seek to escalate the situation. We have said that from the get go and its been very clear. And we didnt start these, we werent the ones who attacked from the beginning. On the other hand, Sinse Hamas continues to fire rockets at our civilians we are left with no choice but to continue our operations and to prepare for in escalation. Those are our directives that have been given by the security cabinet. Thats what were doing. And we have as you said the abilities, the manpower and the equipment to do so. Lets hope for the sake of the regiOn And from my perspective and most israeli civilians that that doesnt in effect happen and that calmer minds on the palestinian side, on the Gaza Side will decide that this is enough and that they have gone way beyond their borders with their aggression against israel. And then maybe things will be different. From a military perspective, ourjob is to defend, ourjob is to be ready for whatever these terrors try to do against our civilians. And that is our focus. Thats the israeli point of view. Lets hear now from Khaled Elgindy A senior fellow at the Middle East institute. He previously served as an advisor to the palestinian leadership in Ramallah On Permanent Status Negotiations with israel. He explained what the international community could do to ease tensions. We need to really put pressure on all sides to immediately de escalate and then to begin to tackle the root causes for this sort of violence that we see recurring in east Jerusalem And Gaza in particular. Its almost on a regular basis. And thats because you have a situation where palestinians in eastjerusalem and Palestinians In Gaza are faced with tremendous pressure by israel, very aggressive campaigns. These are the festering wounds of the israel, palestine conflict at the international community has basically neglected and left to israel to deal with. And imposed its own realities on the ground. There is a role to play here. Clearly for all sides. Is a role to play here. Clearly for allsides. But is a role to play here. Clearly for all sides. But we cannot have a credible, responsible palestinian actor emerge in a situation of death and destruction. So there needs to be a third Party Intervention was a particularly by the united states to reign in israel and others like egypt can influence hamas decision making. And then people need to start addressing the underlying causes which is 53 years of occupation that five and half million palestinians live under. And thats just not sustainable indefinitely. So when you have people who are denied their freedom for generation after generation you are going to get periodic episodes of violence. Because people will read this repression. You can find much more on this story on our website including this analysis from our middle East Editor Jeremy Bowen on the long standing causes of the conflict between israel and the palestinians. Just log on to bbc. Com news republicans in the us House Of Representatives have sacked Liz Cheney, a vocal critic of Donald Trump, from the partys third highest position. Ms cheney had been chair of the house republican conference, but her vote to impeach the former president and her continuing criticism over mr trumps false claims that the 2020 election was stolen has made her Persona Non Grata in the republican ranks. Her colleagues voted to strip her of her title, in a closed door vote. This was her response shortly after. I will do everything i can to ensure that the former president never again gets anywhere near the oval office. We have seen the danger that he continues to provoke with his language. We have seen his lack of Commitment And Dedication to the constitution. And i think its very important that we make sure whomever we elect is somebody who will be faithful to the constitution. Daughter of the former republican Vice President dick cheney. After the annoumcement, former president Donald Trump has hit back with the following statement Liz Cheney is a bitter, horrible human being. She has no Personality Or Anything good having to do with politics or our country. I look forward to soon watching her as a paid contributor on Cnn Or Msdnc which of course is ms nbc. But they call it that because they think it is a front for the democratic national committee. Those last two sets of initials referred to us networks which republicans feel are biased against them. Republicans feel are biased against them. The White House press secretary, jen psaki, was asked for president joe biden� s response to ms cheneys speech. Here is what she had to say. Its disturbing to see any leader regardless of party being attacked for simply speaking the truth. And as the president said last week, its hard to understand. But our belief, his belief is that the american people will have to make their own decisions about whether their own decisions about whether the reaction by the people they elected to represent them should be and praising and elevating conspiracies against attacks on a democracy or should be standing up for ideals that have been historically owned by both democrats and rep two republicans representing the country throughout history. Thats the White House not surprisingly supporting Liz Cheney. Youd expect them to support anything that attacks onjohn. In some ways he remains a very serious political threat from the Biden Point of view. Political threat from the Biden Point of view. Im joined now by our north america correspondent, peter bowes. Thats the issue here for many republicans that Donald Trump is still a powerfulforce in the republican party. On balance Liz Cheney represents a minority view. Yes. It really does seem to be like open warfare doesnt it be doing that within the republican party . Members facing some would say quite a simple choice. Either you back Donald Trump and everything he stood for and continues to stand for with a very powerful voice that he has or you turn your back on Donald Trump and move forward. And move forward and move forward. And move forward and talk about the policies that the republicans stand for, policies that may well be different of course to those Ofjoe Biden as they look ahead to the next Election Cycle at The End of next year. In the meantime, theres going to be a lot of rancour, a lot of disagreements and i think a lot of Bad Taste between republicans is they really try to resolve this. They have two of course replace Liz Cheney. She as we heard her tonight are pledging to go On And On And on in terms of her campaign to keep Donald Trump out of the White House should he decide to stand again. The White House should he decide to stand aaain. ~. , � , the White House should he decide to stand aaain. ~. H , ~ the White House should he decide to stand aain. ~. , h , ~ , the White House should he decide to stand again stand again. Whats striking is that althou. H stand again. Whats striking is that although those stand again. Whats striking is that although those voices stand again. Whats striking is that although those voices may stand again. Whats striking is that although those voices may be although those voices may be minority voices in terms of the republican family, as it were on Capitol Hill and among former republicans on Capitol Hill, they seem to be, by no means are they figures to lots of other ways in terms of their legislative interest and believe would be very far removed for many of Donald Trump supported. They believe in lower taxation, they believe in smaller government, they are tough on China And Russia and north korea. They are not what you would call liberals in republican colors. Republican colors. Exactly. This really doesnt republican colors. Exactly. This really doesnt seem republican colors. Exactly. This really doesnt seem to republican colors. Exactly. This really doesnt seem to be republican colors. Exactly. Thisj really doesnt seem to be about politics. Its very much about personalities. Liz cheney is definitely on the right of the republican party. And certainly in terms of what she stands for is or at least has been a popularfigure. Thats how she managed to get into the number three position in the house for herself. Clearly, what she has to say about the personality of Donald Trump, the style of Donald Trump not to mens word, the lion of Donald Trump that she has made much of in the last few days especially that really comes down to individual politics. Lying. Those of the issues that many republicans would rather focus on but frankly they are it seems afraid to turn their backs on Donald Trump because he remains the kingmaker. He is off twitter, our Social Media but he still has a voice. And when he speaks in favour of someone they believe that thats going to do them a lot of good come the elections of 2022. More elections the elections of 2022. More elections to the elections of 2022. More elections to look the elections of 2022. More elections to look forward i the elections of 2022.

The weather is in a very unsettled mood, notjust for the next few days, even as we head on into the weekend and into next week. Thats because weve got low pressure nearby. For the next few days, it looks like it will stay showery, some heavy downpour in places with some Hail And Thunder, but also some warm sunshine around too. Now, low pressure sitting on top of the country on thursday. This Weather Front bringing some wet weather to start the day for wales, up to the midlands, into the South And Southwest of england. But it will tend to clear away through the day. Away from the North And East of scotland, which will be rather grey through the day today, northern ireland, Southern Scotland and the rest of northern and Eastern England will see some sunshine. But then the showers will get going again into the afternoon. And like the last few days, some will be heavy with a mix of Hail And Thunder in places. Temperatures reaching 1a 15 celsius for most, but rather cool again across the far northeast of scotland. Now, as we head through thursday night, it looks like the showers will tend to fade away from most areas, and that Weather Front will clear away completely. So, many places will be turning dry, but we will start to see some Cloud Rolling into northern and eastern areas, so that should stop temperatures from falling much below 6 7 celsius, so another frost free night for most. As we head on into friday, we are in between weather systems, low pressure to the east, a new area of low pressure slowly encroaching in off the atlantic. And you will also notice the blue colours across the north of the uk. This colder air tries to get into the northeast of the country but doesnt get too far, but it will bring enough chill to the North And East of scotland, and in northeast england it will be quite noticeable there. But a rather grey, cloudy day for most, away from northern ireland, wales, the West Midlands and the southwest where we will see some sunny spells. And that will set off a few showers again here, again, some of them will be on the heavy side. Temperatures in the sunny Spells 1a 15 celsius, but noticeably cooler, like i mentioned, across the northeast. Then as we move into the weekend, we see this Weather Front sweep across the country to bring a band of rain, and then our new area of low pressure starts to push across the uk for the rest of saturday and into sunday. So its back to square one with sunshine and showers once again. Now, some of the showers again over the weekend will be heavy, there will be the risk of Hail And Thunder, and there will be some sunshine in between these showers. And the sun, of course, this time of year is strong, so it will feel fairly warm. Low pressure, though, wants to hold on into next week too, so unfortunately, its looking pretty unsettled for much of the country, further showers at times. Those temperatures below the seasonal average. This is bbc world news, the headlines. Israeli missiles have destroyed another high Rise Tower in Gaza City and killed top commanders in the military wing of hamas. The Health Ministry in gaza says that at least 65 people have been killed since monday.
