Hello, I feel you've got to know me pretty well over the last few thousand episodes,

but how well do I know you?

This is your opportunity to tell me a lot more about what you like about newscast,

what you don't like about newscast, how you actually listen to the episodes

so that we can tailor it so that it's even better for you.

So we've launched what we're calling the newscast census, although it's

strictly speaking, not really a census. And if you go into the episode description, you will find a link

to it. And there's a bunch of questions, not too many, where we ask you about your experience

of newscast, and we'd love to hear your answers. And don't worry, there's no personal data in

there. We don't take your name or your details or anything like that. It's all just about your listening

experience and we'd love to hear from you.

Hello, this afternoon was just one of those moments where you thought, what is going on in the world?

And we got the

breaking news early in the afternoon on Tuesday that Israel had launched a military strike on Doha,

the capital of Qatar, and that they had targeted senior leadership of Hamas. Qatar said that this

was a blatant breach of international law. It was condemned by the UK, but the White House

let it be known that they'd had notice in advance of the attack. So why has this happened? What

does it mean? And also, what does it mean for the peace process in Gaza? We'll discuss all of that

on this episode of Newscast. Newscast from the BBC. Fat boy sliver me in the classroom doing our violin lessons. I was the tattle tail in the class. Can I have an apology, please? I trust almost nobody. That daddy has to sometimes do strong language. Next time in Moscow. I feel delulu with no solulu. Take me down to Downey Street. Let's go have a tour. Blimey. Hello, it's Adam in the newscast studio, though it's a bit of a breaking newscast studio today because this big international story is still unfolding. But I've got some people to help us understand it. Lees Doucette is here in the studio with me. Hello, Lees. It's another breathtaking moment. We're still digesting this.

The breaking news, it is still breaking. Well, yeah, because you've got your phone in front of it. Normally, I think of you is like you know everything and you come in and just tell us, but actually you're learning as we go along. It changes as we speak. We have to say now at 20 minutes to seven. And also in Washington, it's Katrina Perry. Hi, Katrina. Hi Adam, how are you? I will say that I'm keeping one eye and ear on you and Lee's and the other I'm keeping on the White House press briefing because as we're talking right now, it's the first kind of, well, we're expecting the first official word from all of this from the White House. Well, Katrina, I will let you focus on that,

and then we'll come back to you when you've had a chance to process that.
