The pollution 1000, his legal invasion. I think its good for us, the jobs that we continue to back ukraine with the weapons that they need. And i think in terms of how United States, the United Kingdom, is allies the scene around the world that will be people in hair on and going yang and beijing, looking at how we stand by our allies, how we help them, how we stop this, a legal and unprovoked progression and working on whether we are committed, whether were prep at to see it through. So im here to offer my opinion to meet with anyone who wants to talk to me, advisors to make those arguments. And i think the perspective i always encourage others in, in your particular, perhaps those right up against the fence with russia who can feel the russian aggression who feel the fear of it. And i thinks, as i said, of the nato summit last week its, its so important that the comfortable, this is a secure and strong nato with full us and atlantic support rather than a set back for the west and alliance, a victory for fusion and a sense that wed like to stand by all allies and our friends at the time of need. So thats the spirit in which im here. Im delighted to have a whole series of meetings this afternoon and some more tomorrow, and ill make time for any people in congress who would welcome to conversations. Tom bayman with the bbc. Thank you very much. A sex we blanket festival, the bbc spike last week to the parents of jacob slick and joe, who was the us canadian citizen who was killed to me. Wealth central kitchen is ready to strike. His purse describes the convoy is being chased down. They described it as a crime. What assurance can you give them that will be meaningful accountability given the last 2 and off he has 2 of the american citizens have been killed in the hands of his ready forces in cases which have not seen meaningful accountability. And what lessons do you think from those cases that so just on the ground, all taking and phone sex re, uh you said on most the likes, but you would get new advice on his rouse compliance with international lawyer. You said in the coming days on march, the 8th, it is now april the 9th. So when are you going to decide whether or not his role is preaching International Humanitarian goals . And you talked about um, on your train, not wanting to let you and, and to come here. Youve also said that youre dropping diplomatic niceties on this issue. Youve compared to see what happens to the pieces of hitler in the 19 thirtys adults people to change the narrative on the train. What evidence do you have the coming here that approach is working . And in that context, you still think that donald trump is protectionist xenophobic. Im the searching, mr. Tom. Thank you. Ill start the 1st. Um i spoke uh over the weekend to jacobs father and to his partner. I heard directly from them. Separately, jacob believes an 18 month old son leaving Everything Else aside. Just thought of truly human level. My heart goes out to that family. And to that little boy who now has no father and i said the other day that the world, central kitchen team jacob or genuinely heroes. And i hope that collateral. What else we never lose sight of the extraordinary ways in which jacob and the others put their lives on the line to help people who are so desperately in need. Why did it matter to most . Its an extraordinary inspiration, but its also an extraordinary responsibility on our shoulders. And everyone else has to do everything we can to ensure that this never happens again. And that, and guys, in particular, you, manager and workers can go about their, their work with as much security as possible. So we are looking very carefully of the conclusions of the investigation that israel conducted were asking questions about or engage with the israelis or engage with humanitarian organizations. And we want to make sure that again, the investigation produces real change that can better ensure the security and safety of the amount of training workers. And to your point as well uh, accountability. Israel has taken some initial steps in that direction, including a, by removing to senior commanders who are engaged in this, this horrible incident. But were in the process. An ongoing process of looking at the look here, the persians and talking both to israel and the amount of tri organizations about it. One other piece of business before i turn it back over to david unfinished business, which is simply as a site you you heard fine. Secretary makes a commitment on the heart of United Kingdom to supporting the efforts that were undertaking in haiti, and particularly supporting the multinational uh security support for us to go in to both for the Haitian National police to help regain control of the photo process from the from the games to enable a democratic process to move forward towards elections and to create an environment in which magistrate assistance, Development Aid can get in and get to where its needed. So i just want to say how grateful we are to the United Kingdom as well. As 2 other partners who been stepping up to support this effort means a great deal. Think dikes all as well and International Humanitarian law as required by the u. K. s robust arms export control regime. I have not reviewed the most recent advice about the situation in gaza at israel from not to the Tree Campaign of the latest assessment. These opposition on export licenses unchanged. This is consistent with the advice that i know the ministers have received. And as of a we will keep the position under review. Then itd be clear though we continue have to have grave concerns around the humanitarian access issue in gaza, base for the period that was assessed. And subsequently weve seen a welcome increase in trucks with this tony said, perhaps as many as 400 going in yesterday the highest since october. The 7th. And of course, public commitments from is relative flood, goes with a these 90 to be turned into reality. Opposition is in line with our International Partners so far. No like minded countries have taken the decision to suspend existing. Ready licenses, israel, i might add that as well, remains the vital defense, the security problem, which is the u. K. A cooperation makes the u. K. And is a little secure for external trends. We will continue to use this robust Legal Process to assess these issues. And i just that we do, how british legal advice, we like comment on legal advice, but we back to the way that is consistent with where a government under the law and that says it should be on the issue of dropping it recognizes in many ways what i meant by that was instead of sort of speaking and did play speak when i address this issue of how we helped me crane. Im the i can get very emotional about it up to me. This is so fundamental to how britain in america, of what together, over the years, over the decades, to keep all world safe and 2 and a half social security. I think of my grandfather landing on the normally beach is under the cover of an american worship. I think of how i Work Together with president obama to deal with the i still threat in syria and iraq. How we hunted down those terrible killers of british and american hostages. And the syrian does it to how to john and his like. And to me, this is the same thing. We face a huge threat from an aggressive putin taking other countries territory by force. And it is so important that we stick together. This is the right less than from nature set of radiate 75th anniversary. This. Yeah, is that if we stick together, if we Work Together we can create a more secure your little. So a more secure us. And i say this is someone who doesnt just and i liked and respect america. I say to someone who loves this country, im going to co sign the country more of this, but i do love United States. I feel passionate about this country. Its right in the world and defending freedom and spend the up to aggression and trying to take the saw either countries that are being produced in this way. And so when i go in and speak with colleagues in, in congress, i try and keep the different, thats the language that sometimes it spills over and divide emotional language because this is the right thing for us to do and, and future generations. Going to the back of the say, did we do enough when this country was invaded by dictates that trying to redraw binders by force to be loved the lessons from history to be doing now . And im actually why dont really find one thing. So thats why sometimes dropped the diplomatic nicest. And ive, ive said we had a good meeting. We discussed the range of international issues, but effectively it was a private leasing and one the very much in the precedent to meeting with the opposition leaders obviously in britain, we respect to the, the electro process, the democratic process through the 9 states. And what with whoever is elected for the benefit to both countries. And for the final question, robert moore with i tv yeah. Hi. Hi robin law. Wed like to be news. Thanks for both to be taking my question. Im far and check and re festival you had dinner is we know that if i want to cancel warm and friendly generate donald trump last night you course a private dinner. But you know, your foreign secretary, hes a president ial candidate. Can you at a minimum to say at least he listened sympathetically to your argument, but the house should unlock your credit in the funding. And did he give you any assurance at all . But if you want in the event, but he would remain the United States would remain a key member of nato. And just to follow up on my uh, bbc colleagues. Fine question about International Humanitarian though and the supply of weapons. I mean, given the passions costing through societies about the guys or issue, what is the argument against the transparency against and letting people know what the legal advice being received by you is a transparency, everything, and secretary of state. I mean, youve expressed outrage today in the recent days about the death of those 7 International Aid workers eloquent outrage. But it makes the question um there have been hundreds of humanitarian code in garza over the last 6 months. Dozens of genders, many people who are being waving white flags and theyre still being shut down by idea of forces. I mean, why was the outrage then . And why then didnt you offer to, to reshape american policy if necessary. Why only now is it just be possible . So the 7 health okay. Um the 1st of all, um on my dental, im not going to relent from the fact that it was a private dentist, but we discussed joe political issues like is running gaza like crazy. Like the future of nato. Um, the who ever im talking to i tend to make the same points, which is that were going to do everything we can this. Yeah. To get. They towed as strong as possible shape for it. 75th anniversary and getting everyone up to 2 percent. Having the new members joining sweetness and having the strongest possible lives, the best thing we can do on the train, the best thing we can do this year is to help keep the ukrainians in this fight. The fighting so bravely that nothing to lose for one to me or all the dangers. We dont give them the support that they need. And i make that argument to anyone who will listen to me. I argue that it is extremely good value for money in the United States and for others, perhaps for like 5 or 10 percent of your defense budget. Always hot off of rushes, pre will, military equipment has been destroyed for without the loss of a single american life. This is an investment in United States security so, so thats what i would say on the issue of legal advice. I think it is important principle that legal advice is not published. The ministers consider it and act in a way that is consistent with it. We also questions about it as i am now, is i will be in the house of lords, im sure, next week, and ive got a question time on tuesday of appropriate a statement as well. And its right that we answer those questions. We have published summaries of legal advice, but that has been when weve been sending british troops into action as we did in little bit or as we did recently, when we sent the British Force personnel into combat with the who sees i as a different situation, a summary of legal advice published in the circumstances, i dont think gets rice in these circumstances and i say we have consistent with it. Were happy to answer questions about it. But very clear about the deep concern we have about the humanitarian aid situation. But the overall judgement is that for licenses will remain open and continue up. Rob to your question. The thousands of children of men been caught in the crossfire from us as making going back to october. Their loss. Their suffering is absolutely government. Weve worked from day one to do everything we could to ensure that protection of civilians was the maximized provision of humanitarian assistance to those who needed. It was also being maximized. We seen results over the course of of, of these 90 months starting with the, the opening of the roof. A gate very early on track shalom flour from last of the provision of fuel on a sustained basis. But it has manifestly not been enough far from the results simply has not been there. And even if the intent was, its the results of the account. And it was clear from everything that we continue to see that we have to have to have change, have to have change that results in people getting the assistance they need throughout garza. And that was the import of the presence conversation last week with Prime Minister netanyahu. But it was in many ways the combination of many conversations that as i said, produced results, but insufficient in terms of actually meeting the needs of people. So what were focused on now is making sure that the commitments that israel has made to do more to do more effectively. And to put that in place is that actually happens. And as i said, its sustained. And as i said, produces results. Thats the measure. Thats the test, thats what were looking at in temporary. We want to do everything we can. But principally, we want to see israel do everything it can and must to reduce the impact on civilians to get assistance to those who need to do it on a sustained basis. But it would also be, i think important that so much of the understandable passion, outrage and anger directed at israel for applied as Palestinian Civilians and gaza. Some of that might also be reserved and directed for from us. It remains astounding to me that the world is almost deafeningly silent. When it comes to a loss. We would not be where we are. Had they not chosen to engage in one of the most terrific acts of brutality insurers and not october 7th. And have they then, having done that, not refused these many, many months to get out of the way of civilians to stop hiding behind them. To put down their arms to release the hostages, to surrender. Where is the outrage . Theyre having said that, ill repeat what ive said incessantly from day one. Despite that is realized obligations. It has responsibilities that are more than a strategic and that are legal to do everything you can to protect civilians and to get assistance to the many who need it. Thats what were focused on. Thank you. So we were just watching the u. K. 4 and secretary david cameron, as well as the rest of your state. And so any blinking speaking in washington dc, they were giving a press conference. David cameron is on a trip to washington. As you can see, to discuss the ukraine age package as well as israels war on garza and cameron has been Holding Meetings not only with the secretary state on to the blinking but with other american officials. Well, during his time there, lets uh, bring in my kind of my kind of joining us from washington. So mike, uh, pretty wide ranging press conference. They were giving and answering questions. I mean lets, we just break it down. What are the main topics obviously, is the war on gaza . What do you think was the take away message from not as well. What is made very clear is that the 2 Foreign Ministers in close alignment in terms of the position on garza, and indeed on israel, on its ongoing war. Both ministers saying that you meant a terry and supplies had meant to in support is absolutely crucial. But at the same time, those leaders insisting on what they call is rails right . To self defense, this, it would appear in the view of both trumps everything. They made reference to israel as commitment to improve the humanitarian situation as a made reference to the fact. And both agreed with this fact that the root cause of the non resolution of this conflict to the lack of success and negotiations falls entirely at the feet of from us, uh, no reference whatsoever to is really intransigence in those negotiations. So what youve seen is, is very clearly a completely aligned position. The other issue on which both me this shit and opinion is that they will continue to supply on the israel regardless of its activities in that will and gaza. The British Foreign secretary is saying that britain will continue to issue foreign on slice export arms licenses. The secretary of state having said repeatedly, that is israel will still continue to receive alms from the United States. So just one point of confusion here. One might say is that they also discussed ukraine, and in regard to crane, boast, leaders said they would deeply concerned about the flow of arms into russia to assisted in its campaign against ukraine. So they ought to, to a totally different positions here at arms to russia. Bad alms to israel. Thats okay. Yeah. Sounds like it, mike and just one more thing on, on gaza. It was interesting that the secretary of state, anthony blinking said that the us doesnt have a date thats been communicated to them by the is really is on any potential or enough invasion even though nothing. Yahoo himself has said earlier that he does have a date yes. This is very interesting and it seems that the secretary of state is now shifting to a position that the us will not insist on a date. Now. At one stage the us had been saying, and the secretary of state himself had been saying that they would ask israel to share its plan for any invasion or operation in r
