It would be nice to hear from you today because theres such a lot on thats very, very lot going on thats very, very dismal and dire in the news. We need pepper programme need to pepper the Programme Today something a bit today with some something a bit lighter as well to remind us, you know, why were all here. Really so lets get on with the top news story of the day. The Palestinian Islamist group hamas launched its biggest attack on israel with israeli officials reporting around 2500 rockets being fired from gaza as well as sending fighters across the border. Border. Hamas militants and expectedly stormed the southern towns across the region on a jewish holiday where residents were urged to stay close to bomb shelters through these attacks, hamas fighters killed , were hamas fighters killed, were told, at least 250 israeli jews throughout the day and escaped then back into gaza with dozens of citizens who are being held hostage. In response to the hostage. In response to the surprise attack , more than 230 surprise attack, more than 230 gazans were killed when israel responded with one of its most devastating days of retaliatory strikes. Strikes. And then the israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, declared that israel would take mighty vengeance and promised to reduce gaza to rubble after the deadliest day of violence in israel since the yom kippur war. Exactly 50 years ago, fighting between both sides continued overnight in parts of southern israel , and reports now suggest israel, and reports now suggest that at least 480 israelis and palestinians are now confirmed dead. Now, following the attacks here in the uk , the met police here in the uk, the met police have ramped up Police Patrols across london to target individuals, celebrate doing these awful attacks in public. Well, joining us now to go through all of this is middle east security analyst Seth Frantzman. Thanks for joining east security analyst Seth Frantzman. Thanks forjoining us on breakfast. Seth, on this sombre day , i guess the first sombre day, i guess the first question we have to ask is how did this attack happen in the first place . There are there are talk of a huge security lapse and what is a known weak point historically for attacks into israel . Israel . Yeah , i mean, i think its yeah, i mean, i think its unprecedented. Unbelievable what were just seeing still some of the images that are coming in from the destruction along the border and just learning some more of the reports that the terrorists were able to penetrate at 29 different locations, apparently. So it was a it was a huge and unprecedented attack. And it does appear to be a huge lapse in security. I mean, there are a lot of civilian communities along the border, but those communities have faced threat, you know, since the 1950s. So this is a known quantity. This kind of threat. I think there is a of questions about how a lot of questions about how its that these these its possible that these these people were able to penetrate. Obviously, israel has a lot of high and think High Tech Technology and i think perhaps whats being learned this in the end this morning is that in the end of day, you know, you cant of the day, you know, you cant just on cameras just count on cameras and sensors and artificial intelligence. In the end of the day, have to have people day, you have to have people there to stop this kind of this kind threat in a very kind of a threat in a very conventional in a very conventional in a very conventional manner that would have done, know, have been done, you know, decades ago. So theyre trying decades ago. So theyre trying to pick up the pieces. And obviously, you know, tens of thousands people being thousands of people are being called up reserve duty. And called up to reserve duty. And i was there the border was down there on the border yesterday. Saw, you know, yesterday. We saw, you know, just endless streams of just endless, endless streams of jeeps and army going jeeps and Army Vehicles going in. Were seeing civilians in. And we were seeing civilians being evacuated there, going being evacuated out there, going to i think almost all to evacuate, i think almost all the communities on the on the border of gaza, apparently, i mean, some of the commentators in the British Press this morning are calling it israels 9 11 moment. I think in as much as the fact that it seems to have come out of nowhere, this unprecedented huge attack. Was unprecedented huge attack. Was it a huge failure . Do you think, on the part of Israeli Intelligence . Its. I mean, it intelligence . Its. I mean, it would appear so because the fact that hamas , which, you know, that hamas, which, you know, israel has fought , you know, i israel has fought, you know, i dont know, maybe a dozen different campaigns against hamas, usually quite short conflicts in which it had appeared that hamas was generally isolated and unable to inflict a lot of damage because israel had a lot of Technology Like iron dome and things. Hamas has carried out a very different of attack with different type of attack with kind human of fighters kind of human waves of fighters coming on on motorcycles and things like that. Coming on on motorcycles and things like that. But i think if things like that. But i think if we try to compare it to 911, i mean, on strict casualty note, mean, on a strict casualty note, it i think times it is i think several times worse than 9 11 per capita for israel. And i think actually what makes worse than 9 11 is what makes it worse than 9 11 is the that were able to the fact that they were able to cart of civilians. Cart off dozens of civilians. I dont think, you know, al qaeda when they the when they when they attacked the world they didnt world trade centre, they didnt then carry away, you know, 400 americans to afghanistan. Americans back to afghanistan. So i think that actually were looking something is looking at something that is much harrowing and hellish much more harrowing and hellish in terms of what the what has happened here. And think its happened here. And i think its going very, very difficult going to be very, very difficult in the weeks for israel in the coming weeks for israel to make the kind of decisions its going need make, its going to need to make, because you all these because you have all these civilians now being being held in gaza. Civilians now being being held in so a. Civilians now being being held in so youre talking to us from so youre talking to us from jerusalem. Seth, the idf has jerusalem. Seth, the idf has vowed that the hamas has opened the gates of hell. And there is now talk of huge vengeance. So now talk of huge vengeance. So whats the mood on the ground in jerusalem . Presumably, people are very scared. You can you can hear the bombs going off. How sombre is the mood where you are today. I think we seem to. Is he today. I think we seem to. Is he there . I think he can still hear us. You can see the live pictures. We were just wondering, were seeing live pictures from israel, not sure which city were actually looking at, but were actually looking at, but we know thats gaza. We know that youre in jerusalem. How that youre in jerusalem. How has it been overnight for you . Has it been overnight for you . Well i think people here are concerned. I mean, they feel there may be a lack of security. You know, they wonder about whether communities are safe. But in general, you know, a lot of people the army, people are going to the army, lots people are being called lots of people are being called up. I think theres certainly a lot unity. The country has lot of unity. The country has been through conflicts in the past, people are past, but i think people are really with images really shocked with the images that online. So that theyre seeing online. So i think the social media, you know, is causing people to be really concerned about this really concerned about how this happened. Leave it there okay. Well leave it there for moment. Thank very for the moment. Thank you very much, was middle much, indeed. That was middle east security analyst Seth Frantzman talking to us from jerusalem. Jerusalem. Back to domestic politics now and the Labour Party Conference in liverpool kicks off today and its likely to be the last before next years expected general election. Before next years expected gerthe election. Before next years expected gerthe labour n. Before next years expected gerthe labour leader , sir keir the labour leader, sir keir starmer, heads to gathering starmer, heads to the gathering with a Comfortable Lead in the polls after the partys so called seismic win in the rutherglen by election in scotland. But what can we expect from today . Well, lets bring in our today . Well, lets bring in our Political Correspondent catherine forster, whos in liverpool. Good morning to you, liverpool. Good morning to you, catherine. So mood is high in the labour camp. Theres very much talk of keir starmer as a Prime Minister in waiting. Hes Prime Minister in waiting. Hes been openly mocking the tory Party Conference in the press today as a farce from start to finish. What can we expect to hear from the labour party in the next few days . Catherine yes, well they are in a very positive mood. Of course, only just on friday they had that huge win in scotland where there was a 20 swing and they absolutely smashed the snp. So they really feel now that they have a path to power. They are still around 20 points ahead in the polls. But of course they need to put out a positive vision, dont they, because a lot of the poll lead seems to be quite soft in that many, many people are very fed up with the conservative government had 13 years. Government theyve had 13 years. Taxes are at a 70 year high. Pubuc taxes are at a 70 year high. Public services are not in a good state. That doesnt mean, however, necessarily that they are enthusiastic about keir starmer or that keen on labour or even if they really know what it labour stands for. So their mission this week will be to set out a positive vision about what they will do in government, what they will do in government, what they for , stand and if not the they for, stand and if not the conservatives , why then . So we conservatives, why then . So we do expect to hear some policy announcements. Theyve had a lot announcements. Theyve had a lot of criticism, havent they, for being rather willie and they are going to have to set out their stall now. We hear constantly about rishi sunaks five pledges. Theyre not going terribly well. We hear much less about about Keir Starmers five missions, but i think were going to hear a lot about them this week and Angela Rayner, the deputy leader , shadow levelling up secretary will be speaking about half 11 this morning. And those missions , ill remind you, are the fastest growth in the g7. Were back to talking about growth like liz truss. But of course desperately needed then being a clean Energy Superpower, making the nhs fit for the future and spreading opportunity everywhere about education an about skills and also crime. So we hear a lot and also crime. So we hear a lot of announcements. Weve already of announcements. Weve already had a couple about the nhs , had a couple about the nhs, about scanners, £1. 5 billion to bnng about scanners, £1. 5 billion to bring down the waiting list. Weve also had an announcement about housing so much more to come. I suspect. But certainly labourin come. I suspect. But certainly labour in a great mood. Catherine, thanks very much indeed. Well be coming back to you often throughout this mornings programme. So thank you. Joining us now is harry phibbs, whos local government editor of conservative home. And interestingly , i see that keir interestingly, i see that keir starmer , while hes actually starmer, while hes actually riding high, is saying to the rest of the party, dont get giddy over the prospect of an election win. You wont get election win. You wont get razzmatazz, you wont see mistakes that have been made in the past by opposition parties. Hes probably right to be cautious, isnt he . Yes he certainly i dont think expecting giddiness or razzmatazz from keir starmer. Razzmatazz from keir starmer. Its very likely he he i dont think he compares well in terms of his his personal charisma with other politicians. I mean, rishi sunak isnt the most charismatic person, but, but rishi sunak had a had a very impressive Party Conference speech i thought introduced by his wife. So i think those that on that sort of president ial contest, i dont think keir starmer performs performs too well. The other problem i think is for labour, they theyre trying to get across two contradictory messages. One is that, you know , how disastrously that, you know, how disastrously badly the country countrys going and all the gloom and doom. And the other thing is that we should all be reassured that we should all be reassured that they wont change anything much, that theyll be very, very cautious and responsible. And so we dont need to be frightened of anything a Labour Government would do. So i think thats theres a sort of contradiction in the core message there offering. Absolutely. Well, well wait absolutely. Well, well wait and see for the big speeches, some of which are going to be happening today to see whether they have any more to say on that. Thank you very much indeed. Move on right now. Well move on right now because its coming up to because its just coming up to quarter six. If youve quarter past six. And if youve just joined us, a reminder of the top stories this morning. The israeli Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu has vowed to take revenge against hamas. Rishi sunak , meanwhile, says the rishi sunak, meanwhile, says the uk government, stan , is in full uk government, stan, is in full solidarity with israel against, quote, the cowardly and depraved attacks from the palestinian militant group. Militant group. And as weve just heard, the Labour Party Conference kicks off today in liverpool, gb news is there bringing you every twist and turn from sir Keir Starmers final conference before the general election next year. Yean and of course well be bringing you all the sports news with aidan magee as apparent
