Jenny kleeman In London and in new york, Special Correspondent for Vanity Fair brian stelter. The israeli prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has asked for forgiveness from israelis for not being able to bring back alive the six hostages who were found dead in gaza on saturday. It comes as President Biden has warned that Mr Netanyahu Isnt doing enough to reach a Hostage Release Deal with hamas. Earlier, the uk said its suspending some Arms Sales to israel, in cases where they might be used to violate international humanitarian law. The Prime Minister says a new system of Grading Schools in england will not cause confusion after the government announced that single word grading such as outstanding or inadequate had been scrapped. The new system, which will grade individual aspects of a schools performance, will come into affect next year. Sir Keir Starmer said the changes will paint a richer picture of a school, and will strenghten accountability. The United States says its seized a plane used by the venezuelan president nicolas maduro. The Department Forjustice said the Thirteen Million Dollar Aircraft described by officials as Venezuelas Air Force one was seized in the Dominican Republic and transferred to florida. It said the plane had been illegally purchased in violation of sanctions and smuggled out of the United States. And the Uk Government says its going to look into the use of dyanamic pricing by ticket selling websites, for the sale of tickets for gigs and concerts. It comes after official complaints were made by Hundreds Of Oasis fans about how tickets were advertised for their reunion tour. The israeli prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has asked for forgiveness from israelis for not being able to bring back alive the six hostages who were found dead in gaza on saturday. We were very close, he said, we were nearly there. But in a televised address, Mr Netanyahu remained defiant in his demand that israelI Troops must continue to control the Philadelphi Corridor in the south of Gaza Something hamas has rejected. The Philadelphi Corridor along the Egypt Gaza Border has emerged as a primary Sticking Point in Gaza Ceasefire talks. Mr netanyahu said its a Life Line for hamas, their oxygen and it will determne israels future. Lets hear some of what Mr Netanyahu said. I am begging for your forgiveness that we did not succeed bringing them home alive. We were very close. Nearly there. And i would like to repeat once again this Evening. Israel will not move on to our normal agenda after that massacre. Hamas will pay a very heavy price for it. The war against this Axis Of Evil in this specific war against hamas. And of course, that doesnt bring about a deal whatsoever. But the first crack was when we went into rafah and we took over the Philadelphi Corridor and the rafah transit point, because that was literally their way. They actually could breathe and their oxygen. They were hoping that Iran Or Hezbollah would come and save them. Now that theyre hoping that international pressure would now extricate them from that situation. But the only effective change that would be enabled would be if we hold on to the Philadelphi Corridor and not vacate it, not evacuated, because once we leave it, well never be able to go back. Meanwhile this afternoon, the uk Foreign Secretary, David Lammy has announced a partial suspention of Arms Exports to israel following a review into the Countrys Compliance within international law when taking Military Action in gaza. 30 of around 350 Export Licences will be suspended. This comes among frustration over the response to the conflict in gaza. David lammy said the action did not amount to an Arms Embargo and will continue to support israels right to defend itself. The assessment i have received leaves me unable to conclude anything other than that for certain Uk Arms exports to israel, there does exist a clear risk that they might be used to commit or facilitate a serious violation of international humanitarian law. President biden has said that a final deal for a ceasefire and the release of hostages held in gaza is very close to being presented to israel and hamas by mediators. But he told reporters he did not think that the israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, was doing enough to secure an agreement. Mr biden spoke to reporters as he arrived at the White House to meet us negotiators. Lets have a listen. Are you planning to present a final Hostage Deal this week . We are very close to that. What makes you think this deal will be successful in the way the others were not . Hope springs eternal. Do you think its time for prime Minister Netanyahu to do more on this issue . Do you think he is doing enough . No. In israel itself, theres been a general strike to demand the government do more to free the hostages. Our diplomatic editor, james landale, has been following todays developments from jerusalem. The government in israel and the Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu in particular, are under pressure domestically and internationally, domestically, from the protesters on the streets ofjerusalem, here in tel aviv, from the families of the hostages and from those who are putting economic pressure on the government. The unions that held the first general strike here in israel since this war began last october, shutting down huge swathes of Israeli Society. Today, all of that sending a signal to the government that it is unhappy with the position it is taking over gaza, over the hostages, over agreeing a deal with hamas. Then youve got international pressure. Youve got President Biden saying, look, not enough is being done to secure a deal, to agree a ceasefire and secure a deal to release those hostages, saying that Mr Netanyahu is not doing enough. And then youve also got the british government deciding that today is the right day to decide that it needs to suspend some Arms Sales to israel, saying that there is a clear risk that some of those arms might be used to violate international humanitarian law in gaza, which is quite a thing for an ally of israel to say. Now, in response to that, Mr Netanyahu has given a News Conference in which there was an element of contrition, begging forgiveness of those Hostage Families whove lost people not just in the last few days, but in throughout this war since last october. But that aside, his main message was one of defiance and determination, doubling down on his position, saying, look, now is not the time to do a deal with hamas. Now is not a time to make a compromise to reward terrorism. Utterly defending his position, saying that he cannot agree any peace deal. He cannot agree to any deal to allow those hostages to come home if it requires him to take israeli forces out of the southern part of gaza, on the border with egypt, known as the Philadelphi Corridor. He gave a long defence of that, a Powerpoint Presentation with a stick and a marker, essentially saying that he cannot give up that because if he did, then that would allow hamas to rearm itself during any ceasefire. That is his argument. Hes sticking to his guns, but it is not an argument accepted by many in Israeli Society and in his government and in his defence establishment. So tonight, the government here in israel remains, yes, defiant, but also divided. Lets bring in our panel this Evening, jenny and brian. Hello to you both. Jenny, i come first. It has been for a number of different reasons are very significant day. We had anger on the streets, protests, strikes, significant moves in the uk and us, and us, and then an address from netanyahu himself. Whats your assessment of where things are this Evening . I of where things are this Evening . Of where things are this Evenin ... of where things are this Evenin. ... Evening . I was in israel on a -'>Evening'>Reporting Evening . I was in israel on a -'>Evening'>Reporting Trip Evening . I was in israel on a Reporting Trip about Evening . I was in israel on a Reporting Trip about a Evening . I was in israel on a Reporting Trip about a month ago and i saw the strength of feeling theyre about the hostages, a sense that we are coming to a Year Anniversary of the hostages taken and the fact that there are still over 100 hostages are still in captivity, that is the singular focus of a lot of people in israel. The deaths of the six hostages have put this into relief and they see netanyahu as a failure in that he has these dual goals of Obliterated Hamas and getting the hostages home and that second goal. In very two people in israel, it feels like an afterthought and the hostages are being kept because he is unable to do what needs to be done to get them home. His argument is that he needs to have this corridor in the south of israel to stop hamas from rearming only works so far. Goal is to Obliterated Hamas, a large nebulous goal, you cant really obliterate it when the leaders are in qatar and all over the globe, its a wall with No End and pursuing this, is the hostages that suffer. For many people in israel, thats mainly what they care about, all they care about. Of course they want to be safe but they are desperate for these people to come home. When you get off the plane in tel aviv, you see pictures of all the faces of the hostages tied to the railings as you walk along the airport. Bring them home is the mantra everywhere, posters up in shops. And maybe the message is getting through to netanyahu that that is the priority rather than continuing this war on hamas with No End. Rather than continuing this war on hamas with No End. Brian, on that, president on hamas with No End. Brian, on that, President Biden, on hamas with No End. Brian, on that, President Biden, what on hamas with No End. Brian, on that, President Biden, what do l that, President Biden, what do you make of his answer to that question to a reporter about whether he is doing enough and he said no. Whether he is doing enough and he said 0 he said no. Sometimes we hear the most honest he said no. Sometimes we hear the most honest and he said no. Sometimes we hear the most honest and blunt the most honest and blunt assessments like that today, a Shouted Assessments like that today, a shouted question and a simple response, but a response that lands response, but a response that lands with a big thud. There is this old lands with a big thud. There is this old adage that time heals all wounds but its not true in this all wounds but its not true in this case all wounds but its not true in this case. Time is only intensifying deepening the Crisis Netanyahu was in deepening the Crisis Netanyahu was in. Its only leading to this was in. Its only leading to this feeling with an unbreakable few weeks ahead. On the unbreakable few weeks ahead. gm the uk unbreakable few weeks ahead. Q .

It was very symbolic and shows a divergence from shows a divergence from american policy and is very carefully worded, his statement in the commons. We know there are still going to be providing some components that israel can use for defence, things that might be used for the Iron Dome protecting israel, but they are not prepared to provide components that could be used in Ground Targeting and strains, underadvice in Ground Targeting and strains, under advice that these could be in contravention of the international law if they were deployed. It is very carefully worded and not going to make much difference to israel on the ground but a sort of stake in the ground of where the uk stands and we are standing somewhere in slightly different to the us. Different to the us. Thank you. We will have different to the us. Thank you. We will have your different to the us. Thank you. We will have your thoughts different to the us. Thank you.

I the past hour he welcomes this development. Do you . Development. Do you . I do. I think a single development. Do you . I do. I think a single word development. Do you . I do. I think a single word is development. Do you . I do. I think a single word is a development. Do you . I do. I think a single word is a blunt| think a single word is a blunt instrument as an assessment of the school and has potentially enormous power. We know it can change House Prices in an area, that single word on what it might be. I think nuance is welcome. I have two primary School Age children who had an assessment last term. Its nerve racking experience for the staff and i know how to read my Kids School reports, a variety of different comments of different grades and i can read my Schools School Report as well. It doesnt have to be boiled down through a single word to get a sense of what the assessment is. Assessment is. And clearly this is a uk specific assessment is. And clearly this is a uk specific System Assessment is. And clearly this is a uk specific System But Assessment is. And clearly this is a uk specific system but i i is a uk specific system but i wonder what you make of it. I wonder what you make of it. I was shocked to hear about it, that was shocked to hear about it, that there was shocked to hear about it, that there was ever in an attempt that there was ever in an attempt to boil down summing so complex attempt to boil down summing so complex into a simple word. In many complex into a simple word. In many countries certainly the us We Have many countries certainly the us We Have the opposite problem, sometimes you can feel like there sometimes you can feel like there is sometimes you can feel like there is too much data and assessments, too many ways to judge assessments, too many ways to judge schools and too much information that children and Parents Information that children and parents get bombarded by. I also parents get bombarded by. I also have two children in primary also have two children in primary school, its been two years primary school, its been two years and primary school, its been two years and imjust primary school, its been two years and im just starting to learn years and im just starting to learn to years and im just starting to learn to navigate how to is just learn to navigate how to is just starting to learn how to navigate just starting to learn how to navigate the system. As parents, we would rather have more parents, we would rather have more info parents, we would rather have more info on Nuance And Complexity rather than less. Thank complexity rather than less. Thank you for that. Back with you shortly. Around the world and across the uk. This is bbc news. The german chancellor has urged Mainstream Parties not to lend support to the far right alternative for germany Party Or Afd which he called extremist. Showing in saxony as worrying and said the Party Olaf Scholz described afd s success in thringia and strong showing in saxony as worrying and said the party was dividing society. The afd has become the first far right group to win the most votes in a State Election since the second World War. Tensions are tensions a re clearly tensions are clearly running a high withjust over a tensions are clearly running a high with just over a year to go before the national elections. Lets bring on the panel. Jenny, starting with you. Its an interesting trend here because the growing popularity of far right parties is something We Have seen across many European Countries and the aunt as well. Is that balance of how much this is a german specific versus how much this is a european wider cultural theme. This is a european wider culturaltheme. I this is a european wider cultural theme. This is a european wider cultural theme. I think this is a wider cultural cultural theme. I think this is a wider cultural theme cultural theme. I think this is a wider cultural theme but i cultural theme. I think this is a wider cultural theme but it | a wider cultural theme but it is of course worrying that its happening in germany. These Election Results of the first time youve had such results in germany since the second World War and when you look at a map and where people are voting for afd and the far right parties, it is in places that were part of East Germany and it speaks to the kind of disaffection of people living in these areas, they feel they have been left behind, a lot of young people have moved away from a lot of cities in those areas and those that remain feel very disaffected and when you have disaffection, feeling of being left behind or treated like a second class citizen, it is easy to look at migrants or immigration and feel that is the problem and its that disaffection that can be mined by far right parties and thats whats been happening across europe and across much of the western world at the moment, blaming Peoples Disaffection on migratio
