Israel. How dangerous is this moment . Good evening. Welcome to newsnight. Tonight, are we now on the cusp of a full blown regional war in the Middle East . Iran has launched a Missile Attack on israel this evening which is now over. Earliertoday, israeli troops invaded lebanon. Also, in whats being described as a terrorist attack, at least six people have been killed in Tel Aviv by two gunmen. Just before we came on air i spoke to Shadow Security Minster and conservative Leadership Candidate Tom tugendhat. Well, this is an incredibly dangerous moment. This is a moment when the vicious iranian regime is targeting notjust jews, muslims and christians in israel, but is putting ballistic missiles overjordan, over iraq, and threatening many, many people on the route. This is a moment when we need the british government to be absolutely firm and clear, standing with our allies in the region, injordan, in israel and standing alongside democracies. We need to be defending ourfriends and stand
Translation the state of Israel Yesterday eliminated the Mass Murderer Hassan Nasrallah. We settled accounts with the one responsible for the murder of countless israelis and many citizens of other countries. Nasrallah was not another terrorist, he was the terrorist. Israel claims this is a historic Turning Point. For many in beirut, its a time of fear. Plenty were fleeing the city today, clinging to the hope of finding safety somewhere. But Theres Danger in every direction in lebanon. We travelled through dahieh, the Hezbollah Stronghold now looking anything but. It has been bombed time after time. This is just one of the locations that has been hit. Theres smoke still rising here. Theres ash in the air and you can smell the explosives, and i can hear a drone now overhead. The strike here happened overnight, and since then, theres been no letup. In beirut s martyrs square, many slept in the open and remained there today, new homeless from The Middle Easts newest war. The governor of b
Mail on their extracts of boris johnsons autobiography. And the daily mail serialisation, boriss dramatic plan for a Military Raid on holland to snatch back vaccines. I think i have heard that story before and i would probably want a bigger story for the serialisation rights. And the tv presenter. Lots more on the Bbc News about the emerging news from The Middle East. Thats almost all from us tonight. Victorias back on monday from the tory party conference. But before we go the Word Legend is overused but if it applies to anyone in our industry then it applies to her. Thats how Daniel Radcliffe described his harry Potter Cast Mate Maggie Smith who died today. But before she won a wider audience as Minerva Mcgonagall and the Dowager Countess of grantham in downton abbey, that legend was built on raw, astonishing performances like this one jean brodie, for which she won an oscar in 1970. Goodnight. Lama i am a teacher. I am a teacher first, last, always. Do you imagine that for one incid
For this leadership contest. Whittling that number down to five, then four, then they go off to the tory Party Conference and eventually there will be two left in the race. This is Kemi Badenoch making her case today, the launch of her campaign. Interesting there, that Question Right at the end about her character. She has said a lot about how she is a straight talker how she likes to get things done. She talked about how civil servants sometime stopped doing things she thought she should be able to do. I think her temperament is quite an important part of this. Some of her conservative colleagues have said to me they find are quite difficult to deal with. They felt it wasnt just her being a little bit abrasive, they felt that on occasion she was rude, and that was with colleagues, not when she was attacking the labour party. Others will say it is just because she has strong views and wants to get things done. She was talking here about renewal because the Conservative Party went throu
In topjobs in business, a government backed review has found. In the ftse 350, only 25 women are in chair roles, with even fewer chief executives. The guardian business pages report that landsec, the Property Company which owns Shopping Centres such and Westgate Oxford and bluewater in kent, has slumped to a first half loss after being hit by store closures as retailers battle Weak Consumer Spending and a shift to Online Shopping. And finally, are you among the thousand people in the uk still watching tv in black and white . More than 50 years after tv was first aired in colour, more than 6,500 homes are still registered and watching television under a mono license. Which of course, is a lot cheaper. Anyway. With me is kathleen brooks, whos director of the Financial Analysis consultancy, minerva analysis. Lets get started. Brexit will start a green revolution. That is what were going to hear today from Boris Johnson . Were going to hear today from Boris Johnson . Dont think brexit mean
