Published

on



Twenty-four hostages have been released by Hamas and are now back in Israel.

Among them are 13 Israelis, 10 Thais and one Filipino, says Qatar, which has been mediating negotiations between Israel and Hamas.

The Israelis include four children – aged two, four, six and nine – as well as an 85-year-old woman.

Palestinian women and teenagers held by Israel have also been released to the West Bank as part of the deal.

Clive Myrie presents BBC News at Ten reporting from Tel Aviv.

    I am very confused 🤔
    Are terrorists "those who take care ,act kindly, with people from other side ,fight for their people ,children (premature babies), fight for their own land for decades , and during this period they didn't lose humanity , human character .
    OR
    Those who kill poor people, took land of poor people illegally, kill babies , attack hospitals (inhuman behaviour)
    And play victim card for yrs .And telling everyone we are defending ourselves from enemies (premature babies).
    Their were no enemy (hamas ) in hospital, ambulance.
    I know western people (supporters of Israeli terrorists) have enough knowledge about terrorism.

    What the worst way to solve a dispute!
    The ceasefire comes after thousands of innocent lives have been lost, property destroyed!
    Why doesn't Europe and the Americas aid the Palestinians the way they do to Ukraine!?
    Ukraine and Palestine are all victims of foreign invasion and occupation!
    When Ukrainians fight against the Russian invading occupying force, the West calls them brave liberators, yet, when Palestinians resist Israeli occupation, the West calls them terrorists! What double standards!
    What's good for the goose is good for the gander! Isn't it!?

    The Zionists are terrorists who occupied Palestine 75 years ago and committed war crimes against its indigenous population and expelled them from their land. Take the truth that they want to hide from you.

Counter terrorism police now leading investigation into Ann Widdecombe’s death | BBC News

Published

on



Counter terrorism police are now leading the investigation into the death of former Conservative minister Ann Widdecombe, after “new information and evidence has come to light”, Counter Terrorism Policing South East (CTPSE) has said.

“The police are pursuing multiple lines of enquiry to establish the motivation for this attack. I will be updating the House further this afternoon,” Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood said.

A 28-year-old white British man from Rotherham, South Yorkshire, was originally arrested on suspicion of murder on Saturday but has now been re-arrested “on suspicion of commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism”, CTPSE said.

Police said the “dynamic and complex investigation” had led to the new arrest.

On Thursday, 78-year-old Widdecombe was found dead at her home in Haytor, Devon, having sustained serious injuries.

Sir Keir Starmer is fighting to stay on as prime minister as the pressure mounts | BBC News

Published

on



Three members of his government, including Home Office minister Jess Phillips, have resigned, whilst scores of Labour MPs are calling for him to quit following a disastrous set of elections for the party last week.

Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood is among a number of cabinet ministers urging the prime minister to set out a departure timetable.

Sir Keir said he does not intend to quit and threw down the gauntlet to potential rivals to formally challenge him as Labour leader.

No MP has yet launched a formal bid to challenge him, which requires the backing of 81 colleagues or 20% of Labour MPs, according to party rules.

US hits ‘dozens’ of Iranian sites in strikes, as Iran targets US bases in region | BBC News

Published

on



The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.

The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.

“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.

In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

Trump demands 20% toll on cargos passing through strait of Hormuz | BBC News

Published

on



President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.

He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.

Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.

Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.

The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.
