Extra, Extra, read all about it now, oh baby.

Extra, extra, read all about it now.

Oh, baby.

Now then, good morning to you.

Wednesday, the 8th of May, or May 8th,

24.

Hope all as well. It's a good old spring morning here in Solford,

a little overcast, but we're promised a good day today. Weather wise, that's nice. Been to the park,

walked the puppies, came back, read the papers, oh yeah, yeah, and it's only 6.35 in the AM.

As I recorded, straight to the front pages then of the papers, the situation in Gaza and Harry, the Duke of

Sussex, dominate the front pages. The Financial Times, Israel threatens wider Rafa assault

as mediators struggle to keep talks alive. Yeah. You know what that's about? I don't need to get

too deep into it. Egypt is hosting talks between Hamas representatives and Israeli government representatives.

Israel is masked on the outskirts of Rafa. It's saying it's going to go in and clear out

Rafa and go after 12 Hamas battalions. The United States government and the UK government is, if you believe it,

is urging the Israelis not to do it.

We oppose it, said the US Secretary of State,

but there's no teeth, there is no muscle,

there's no genuine desire on the part of the Western democracies

to deal with Israel. Because if you really wanted to put a halt to Netanyahu's gallop,

if you really wanted to prevent Israel from going in and killing tens of thousands

more Palestinians. In Rafa, you would say to them, we will freeze every one of your assets.
