Well, now, lets cross over to tel aviv and get the latest with gb News ReporterCharlie Peters. Charlie, so can you give peters. Charlie, so can you give us an update . What can you tell us . Sure. Well, its been a very active situation in both the north and the south of israel today in the south, on the gaza strip in that territory, there has been a consistent agent and returning Bombing Campaign by the Israeli Air Force across the strip, both in the north and on what they describe as hamas military capabilities in the south. The gazans side said that some 49 people were killed in a strike on younis khan, a city in the south near the rafah crossing where the israelis are hoping that more civilians will move to in order to generate that humanitarian opportunity in the south, while also allowing them to commit to a Ground Invasion and more severe bombardment in the north, which is likely to be their first target in a staged assault on the gaza strip in the north of the gaza strip in the north of the territory. Here, though, in israel, there has been an escalation in the conflict between Israeli Defence forces and lebanese hezbollah, with four no sorry, six anti tank guided missiles. There were two guided missiles. There were two more in the last hour confirmed landing in northern israel , landing in northern israel, injuring two reservists. Were heanng injuring two reservists. Were hearing from the idf in the last half hour. The idf has responded with artillery fire and shelling on what it describes as hezbollah positions in southern lebanon. And that comes within some concerning remarks by the Iranian Foreign minister last night and this morning, warning of a potential pre emptive strike in a matter of hours around midnight last night. And then also concerns raised after then also concerns raised after the iranian side said that it was watching and ready to act with regards to how the israeli side acts in the gaza strip. On the south, though, there is growing concern about the untenable humanitarian situation , as the un puts it, in the south, near the rafah crossing, the americans said this morning that humanitarian aid had been secured for all those gathering in the south of the strip, but no access has yet been achieved at that rafah crossing, there have been several times now where it its opening has been mooted and those hopes have been dashed. But at the same time, there has been more belligerent and pugnacious rhetoric by the israeli generals. Yoav galant, the defence minister, saying earlier today two Israeli Air Force officers and staff that they will totally wipe out hamas as the only options for the terror group are to surrender or die. He said that every missile has an address on it and perhaps that will be received quite negatively in the gaza strip because some of those addresses, as it appears, are civilian homes. Homes. Mark colvin charlie, thank you so much for that. Thats Charlie Peters will be catching up with him throughout the show. But its fast approaching. 11 but its fast approaching. 11 minutes after 3 00.

Scottish first minister humza yousaf will address the snp Party Conference in aberdeen in his keynote speech hell pledge an extra £300 million for funding for the nhs in scotland. Hell also push the partys new independence strategy. Its believed that mr yusuf will also reference the ongoing israeli hamas war after his wifes young cousin was injured in a drone attack in gaza. Injured in a drone attack in gaza. Well, joining me now is gb gaza. Well, joining me now is gb news scotland reporter tony maguire , whos in aberdeen and maguire, whos in aberdeen and from our westminster studio is gb news Political CorrespondentKatherine Forster tony, im going to start with you. Whats going to start with you. Whats the mood like for the Party Conference since . Well certainly Conference Since . Well certainly its is pretty cold out here outside the aberdeen event complex. Complex. B ut complex. But certainly aberdeens not exactly known for its tropical autumns. However, in the building behind me, certainly things are heating up. Were getting close now to that all important speech. And humza important speech. And humza yousaf has not a lot of time to achieve quite a lot. He needs to convince the membership that its time to move past conversations about the process of achieving independence and get on to the campaigning and winning hearts and minds. He needs to convince members to heal the divisions that have rocked the party. You know, which even reared their their head last week when we saw an mp defect from the snp over to the conservative gives he needs to convey once the party that he is now in full control certainly Nicola Sturgeon, when she was talking to the press yesterday when she arrived, she was convinced that humza yousaf is in full control and even though the snp lost that important by election in rutherglen and Hamilton West a few weeks ago, you know, essentially that he needs to turn that into a learning exercise and show the members that its not any time to make any concessions. This isntjust to make any concessions. This isnt just about making the case for independence. S this is for independence. S this is about making the case for a huge show at the next general election. Whenever that might be most likely next year, so that perhaps he can convince the scottish public to go back to the 2015 levels of snp dominance on those opposition benches as well. Hes going to have a tough time convince people. Catherine, i want to come to you now, catherine. So youre there in westminster, so with regard to the snp , are they is there the snp, are they is there i mean, are they losing ground in scotland because, of course , scotland because, of course, weve had the Margaret Ferrier seat that went to the labour party. Is there a sense now that labour could regain a real stronghold in scotland . Stronghold in scotland . Certainly labour think theyve got a massive opportunity and they are increasing confident that they can win the next general election and that they can do so much more easily if they win. Perhaps a couple of dozen seats in scotland back from the Scottish National party. Now its worth remembering you dont have to go very far back in time since labour were the dominant Political Force in scotland. You Political Force in scotland. You know, scotland was a labour country that changed with the snp and for a long time it was thought that labour could never get back into power in westminster unless they were able to get their numbers up in scotland. Now what happened with Margaret Ferriers seat and of course that went to labour , they course that went to labour, they feel very optimistic that theyre going to make massive progress in the general election. And meanwhile, humza yousaf really it has been a bit of a poisoned chalice, hasnt it . The leadership of the snp , we had leadership of the snp, we had the shock resignation of Nicola Sturgeon and february half term humza yousaf was her chosen successor. No sooner had he taken the role than peter murrell. Nicola sturgeons husband was arrested over this missing £600,000 of snp funds. Nicola sturgeon herself was of course arrested. A couple of months later. But but we had her turn up surprise us visit yesterday at the snp conference. Im not sure how humza yousaf must have felt about that a bit like liz truss turning up at the conservative conference, but she was greeted with huge cheers with adults version she still seen by many in the party as some sort of rock star and plenty of people think that humza yousaf is a pale imitation. But hes got a tough job, hasnt he , trying to sort job, hasnt he, trying to sort of steady the ship, trying to convince people that all is not lost with independence and trying to put fonnard, i think, a positive vision for scotland and the snps role within it. Catherine how much help though would that have been for weve got some pictures here, actually. Weve just got some pictures of girls actually at the moment, so were just keeping you updated. So if you are watching you can see are watching on tv, you can see that right were just that right now were just discussing for discussing the snps plan for independence. I want to just ask catherine briefly what how much help would that be for humza to actually have . Nicola sturgeon being there to endorse him, as you said , shes a of a rock you said, shes a bit of a rock star, but but the record with the cash for caravan and you know whats going on with their husband hasnt been great. Husband it hasnt been great. Yes. Well shes still got plenty of supporters, certainly those that like and still trust. Nicola sturgeon will will feel delighted that she turned up. But of course, therell be plenty of people possibly wavering. Snp voters. We dont ultimately know the result of this. Police investigate action. It is still ongoing and the image of the police tent outside their home was really quite shocking, wasnt it . And then this 100,000 thousand pound camper van, which turned up in Nicola Sturgeons mother in laws driveway and was taken away by police. But i have to say that i think on a human level, everybody will really feel for humza. Yousaf today hes got to give this big speech and hes in the middle of this horrendous personal situation with his wifes family, his wifes in laws stuck in gaza and weve just heard in the last half hour or so that his wife, nadia and her two year old and cousin was actually injured by shrapnel. Is going to be okay. But they , of course, are but they, of course, are absolutely beside themselves. Humza yousafs wife spoke very movingly at conference yesterday. The Foreign Of
