instability in the west bank does not continue. that includes making sure that extremist settler violence stops. we as you know if they can steps this week in the united states to impose visa restrictions on it responsible individuals and necessary it will take further action but we have seen some progress there. what more needs to be done to ensure that this extremist violence ends. finally on gaza, it's very important that even as we are focused on what's happening day in, day out, that we are also not only thinking about but working on what comes next up is eagerly building a foundation for a durable peace and durable security. tomorrow we will have a chance to welcome colleagues from around the region here in washington, from the arab league in the organisation of islamic cooperation and i look forward to attending those discussions with them. we had a chance to discuss our approach to the people's republic of china. we are aligned on key challenges that we face in the in the pacific. that includes ensuring peace and stability across the taiwan strait as well as standing up to the prc for his nonmarket practices. we are also engaging china where we can to try to see if we can find cooperation in solving some of the big challenges that we face, including for example risk and safety issues when it comes to artificial intelligence. the us and the uk have been leading in the effort to establish rules of the road. prime minister hosted the first ever global summit on a safety and that's a very important step and this is an area where the us and uk will continue to work together. let me just say in closing this we are looking at the challenges we face, i heard the foreign secretary recently and i can quote if i can, david, if we turn this moment of david —— danger insecurity in his him and that brings a new sense of unity between allies, their is the reason we cannot prevail. this is likely what we are doing. strengthening, reinforcing the unity

the other this sort of lofty view. president biden just the other day made a similar point, though, and said that essentially he sees our efforts in supporting ukraine in stopping putin at that border is what is going to be the stronghold against further incursions. after all if a national nato country would be invaded by putin, we will be in a very different situation in terms of troops on the ground and the risk to american lives. and i think that is a persuadable point and as i said before, i don't believe the problem right now in the congress is that they don't understand that. i think they don't understand that. i think the problem is that they want to use this leverage to score other political objectives.- this leverage to score other political objectives. political ob'ectives.

that final point, hillary, lindsey graham makes a good point. immigration is a very big political issue domestically. it is here in the uk, we talk in the moment about immigration and the prime minister's rwanda plan. and what senator graham said today was he cannot go back to his constituents and say here is some money for israel, hear somebody to defend ukraine, he responded to defend taiwan but we are not going to have any money to defend our own borders from an unprecedented number of people who were coming across from mexico. and that is an understandable position to take and it's just whether it should be used at this particularjuncture in relation to ukraine's vital spending. relation to ukraine's vital spending-— relation to ukraine's vital spending. relation to

southern border. and obviously our labour force as absorb a significant amount of immigration, so legal and illegal, but i think the bigger political point that may be legitimate is where is congress

premier league and a huge result for everton. they've beaten newcastle 3—0 at goodison park to haul themselves out of the relegation zone. everton, remember, were deducted ten points for breaching premier league financial regulations last month. but they deservedly chalked up a sixth league win of the season with dwight mcneil giving them the lead on 79 minutes. mcneil then turned provider to set up abdoulaye doucoure for the second. and a great night for the toffees was rounded off when beto added a third deep into added time. it's stilljust the one away win this season for newcastle, but everton is out of the bottom three. the other match is still being played. tottenham currently down 2—1 at west tottenham currently down 2—1 at west ham united. tottenham took the lead in the 11th minute when christian romero on his return from a three—match ban rose to head in a corner. spurs had dominated possession, but were punished for failing to take advantage whenjarrod bowen equalised just after half—time, and then some calamitous defending allowed west ham to take the lead through james ward—prowse. 2—1 to west ham. reports from italy say anti—doping prosecutors there have requested a maximum four—year ban forjuventus midfielder paul pogba after he tested positive for testosterone. that length of ban is standard, but can be reduced to two years if an athlete can prove their doping was not intentional or if they provide "substantial assistance" to help investigators. pogba, who's now 30, has been provisionally suspended since he tested positive after a game in august. formula 1's governing body has ended its compliance inquiry into mercedes team boss toto wolff and his wife, the f1 academy director susie wolff. the fia had launched an inquiry into a magazine's claims that rivals believed the couple's relationship presented a conflict of interest in the sport, but on thursday, the fia said it was "satisfied" f1 had measures in place to protect against such issues. the statement added that there was "no ongoing investigation" into the matter. some good news for emma raducanu, who will make her comeback to the tennis tour in auckland in the first week of january. she's been awarded a wildcard into the asb classic in new zealand. the 2021 us open champion has been out of action since april and has fallen to 296 in the world rankings following three operations. the australian open, the first grand slam of the season, begins on january 14th. world cup—winner mike tindall has criticised the treatment of 0wen farrell at the tournament in france, calling it completely unjustified. the england captain has decided to step away from international rugby for the moment to prioritise his family and mental well—being. farrell was criticised both before and during the world cup, but tindall told bbc breakfast that crossed a line. he is an ultimate competitor who pushes the boundaries and sometimes ends up on the wrong side of it. that doesn't make him a bad human being. you can make a bad decision in a very short period of time. every time he steps on the field, he wants to make an impact for his team. but off the back of it, then what his family get, what he got, and i sort of take my hat off to him to have the ability to go, "actually i don't need this." and to have your england captain, who's just come out of a world cup semifinal, plays to an impeccable level every time and puts his body on the line for his team, always the first on the team sheet to go, "actually, i'm just going to step away and focus on my family." it just says that, you know, for a game ethic, respecting the referee, he has lived on a social media platform without those values. finally, shaun murphy has made the first ever maximum 147 break in the history of the snooker shoot out. the competition had never seen a maximum break since its inception in 2011. it differs slightly from traditional snooker events, with a shot clock in operation throughout and frames lasting a maximum of ten minutes. murphy achieved the feat of 15 reds, 15 blacks and all the colours in his first—round match in swansea. the previous highest break made in this competition was a 142 by mark allen. and that's all the sport for now. for me in the rest of the team, we will see you soon, bye—bye. hello there. thursday's weather was pretty wet for many of us, and we're going to see further bouts of heavy rain moving their way in over the next few days. but i think for many there'll be a brief respite in the really wet conditions on friday with some sunnier spells. but we've still got this area of low pressure into friday, and that's going to keep things pretty unsettled. but the bulk of the rain that we had on thursday has cleared away to the north and the east. and as we start off on friday, temperatures for many of us positive, so about 6—8 degrees celsius. still quite wet and windy in the northern isles throughout the day, and we'll see these showers moving their way in from the west. but there will at least be some sunny spells, particularly towards eastern and south—eastern areas for much of the day. one or two showers eventually moving in, and temperatures probably getting into double figures for many of us. about 6—8 celsius across scotland. now, the winds will strengthen for a time around the irish sea and the north channel coasts. with that, some further heavy rain spreading through, and then into saturday morning, another band of very heavy rain will slowly move its way in, making it a very wet start to saturday morning. but again, overnight temperatures into saturday staying up into positive figures. now, for the weekend, it will stay unsettled. there'll be rain at times, but it's not going to be a complete wash—out. there'll be some sunshine around for a time as well. but a very wet start, as i mentioned, for many on saturday. some pulses of heavy rain spreading its way north and eastwards. by lunchtime, spreading into central parts of scotland, northern ireland. for england and wales, there'll be a few showers towards northern and western areas. otherwise, though, a drier afternoon with some sunny spells. and again temperatures 11—13 degrees in the south, 7—8 degrees further north. that area of rain will continue to move to the north with that area of low pressure, and then another area of low pressure develops as we head into sunday. that's one to watch. we could see some pretty strong winds linked in with that, with again rain spreading its way in from the south—west, pushing north and eastwards. so, yes, a spell of rain for a time before it clears, and there'll be something a bit brighter towards england and wales into the afternoon. just eastern areas staying on the wet side, and temperatures once again about 6—12 degrees celsius. into next week, it starts to calm down a little bit from mid—week onward with something a bit drier. bye— bye. at ten — images emerge of
