The government is to suspend 30 Arms Export licences to israel out of over 300. In a statement to mps, the foreign Secretary David Lammy said the suspensions were for items which could be used in the current conflict in the Middle East and that they would have no impact on israels security. Lets go straight to our political editor Chris Mason in westminster. A clear as it is a significant one . Yes, good evening. This is parliaments first day back after the summer break. The government had informed israel privately of what it was doing and then announced it publicly. For certain uk Arms Exports to israel, for certain uk Arms Exports to israel, there does exist a clear risk that israel, there does exist a clear risk that they might be used to commit risk that they might be used to commit or risk that they might be used to commit or facilitate a serious violation commit or facilitate a serious violation of international humanitarian law. Labour said it asked for this work to be done as soon as it came into power and then looked at the outcome and came forward with this statement, of around 30 Export Licences being suspended. So what will that mean . Itll mean some Components Forfighter will that mean . Itll mean some components for fighter aircraft. The f165 components for fighter aircraft. The F 16s will not be exported any more. Parts for drones, for naval equipment, and indeed for targeting equipment. The government insists it doesnt change its overall position on israel, which describes as solid and unyielding. But this is the third decision this is still relatively new government has taken on the middle East Conflict that is different from what came before, so it dropped plans to challenge the right of the International Criminal Court to seek an Arrest Warrant for israels Prime Minister, restored funding for the israels Prime Minister, restored Funding Forthe un israels Prime Minister, restored funding for the Un Agency that helps palestinian refugees. Now, the government says it has taken each of these decisions on their own merit, but this is a party in the last year that has had its difficulties among them who have felt that it has not been sufficiently robust in the direction of israel, and we saw that in some of the general election results in areas with substantial muslim populations. Here are now three examples the government could point to where it could say, if it chose to, that its approach to israel is that bit more sceptical. Very interesting. Thank you very much, Chris Mason there. Meanwhile, president biden says a final deal on the release of hostages is very close, but that israels prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was not doing enough to secure their release. Parts of israel have been disrupted by a general strike, called to try to force the government to negotiate with hamas over the hostages. This is the Scene Tonight in Tel Aviv. Mr neta nyahu aviv. Mr netanyahu is due to address the country in the next Half 0ur middle East Correspondent Lucy williamson reports. Israels protesters and their Prime Minister are old acquaintances. Calls for a Hostage Deal have brought long established opponents onto The Streets, but the shooting of six hostages in a Gaza Tunnel last week has broadened this movement, they say. And the mass demonstrations in Tel AvivLast Night were a turning point. I think the news of the six hostages, the fact that they were alive, and murdered right before they could have been saved, that broke it. After Last Nights mass protest, people are back on The Streets again. There were growing public and political demands on israels Prime Minister to make a deal, but benjamin netanyahu, protected by his parliamentary majority, isnt listening. But then, much of the Country Isnt protesting. The one day general strike today, largely unobserved, even in left leaning Tel Aviv. A court ruled that the strike was political and ended it. Endedit these ended it. These protests are part of the well established opposition to israels Prime Minister, analysts say, and so far, little threat to him. Ithink him. I think that netanyahu knows better than i do, the best thing is to let it play as a safety valve. To do some ventilation, and let people say, we hate you, you are a murderer, enough is enough. Two of the protest� s most vocal activists were not in The Street today, but in the parents of a hostage, burying their son. For 23 years, i was privileged to have for 23 years, i was privileged to have the most stunning honour, to be hershs have the most stunning honour, to be hershs mama. I will take it and say thank hershs mama. I will take it and say thank you i hershs mama. I will take it and say thank you. Ijust wish it had been for Tongen For longer. Tonight in jerusalem, the demonstrations tonight injerusalem, the demonstrations began again. Mr netanyahu is used to opposition on The Street, but he is also facing demands from the us president and his own defence minister. Those demands may be harder to ignore.

A new system of School Reports will be introduced from next september. The family of Head Teacher Ruth perry had lobbied for the change after she took her own life in 2023, following an inspection when her school was given the lowest rating. 0ur Education Editor branwen jeffreys reports. Back to school, but with new rules this year. The prime Minister And Education secretary visiting a primary to say schools have to meet high standards, but inspectors wont be handing out one overall grade. I asked the education secretary, will they act if a school is failing . I wont hesitate to act to make sure that we drive up standards in our schools, because i know that children get only one chance when theyre at school, only one chance, and we have to make sure we get that right. There has been too much complacency about the need to support schools to improve, and this government is changing it. This school will keep its outstanding grade until the next inspection. This year, School Inspections will happen using exactly the same standards, and parents will get the same three or four macro page report, just without that Headline Grade at the top. By next year, there is meant to be a report card system, and the details of how that will work are still unclear. In 0ldham today, parents said 0fsted grades were only one part of choosing a school. Ideally, you need more information. When its as good, adequate, but in what sense . To describe something in one word, im to describe something in one word, im not to describe something in one word, im not sure to describe something in one word, im not sure that that is enough. As a parent, im not sure that that is enough. As a parent. You im not sure that that is enough. As a parent, you would like to know more before you send your kids there. You sort of there. You sort of want to know if they are getting the individual support, and if the food is good, and if the atmosphere is good, so i think a bigger report, probably, is more helpful. Last year, primary Head Teacher Ruth perry died in a suicide. An inquest found an 0fsted inspection contributed to her death. Her sister julia has been calling for the Headline Grades to go. Shed had a really bruising inspection that left her very fragile. And that word, inadequate, she went over and over and over it, repeated it, she wrote it down and it was that feeling, it was the shame of that one word, the Public Humiliation of that one word, the same that goes along with that. This Birmingham School got a good grade. Even so, the head was left feeling shaken. The 0fsted Inspector was very much the ofsted inspector was very much of the view, the ofsted inspector was very much of the view, well, she actually said to m3, of the view, well, she actually said to me. If of the view, well, she actually said to me. If we of the view, well, she actually said to me, if we dont try and break the head to me, if we dont try and break the head teacher, how do we know they are strong head teacher, how do we know they are strong enough to leave the school . Are strong enough to leave the school . That is not the sort of Environment Anyone should have to work in Environment Anyone should have to work irr~ we Environment Anyone should have to work in. We dont want an easy ride. We just work in. We dont want an easy ride. We just wanted to be fair, and to be positive, we just wanted to be fair, and to be positive, not we just wanted to be fair, and to be positive, not to be negative. The positive, not to be negative. The challenges for his government to give parents the information they need, and make sure inspection does lead to schools improving.
