Lord Dannatt, former head of the British Army, says there are a number of both regional and wider global concerns surrounding Iran's possible retaliation against Israel. He suggests that although it isn't in Tehran's interests to get into a "major spat" with Israel, Iran does sponsor Hezbollah in Lebanon and the Houthi rebels in Yemen, "they can dial it up, or dial it down."

Russia, Germany and Britain on Thursday urged countries in the Middle East to show restraint and Israel said it was preparing to "meet all its security needs" in a region on edge over an Iranian threat to strike Israel.

The German airline Lufthansa, one of only two Western carriers flying to Tehran, extended a suspension of its flights to the Iranian capital and Russia warned against travel to the Middle East.

Iran has vowed revenge for the April 1 airstrike on its embassy compound in Damascus that killed a top Iranian general and six other Iranian military officers, ratcheting up tension in a region already strained by the Gaza war.

TalkTV's Julia Hartley-Brewer clashes with journalist and presenter Shivani Dave over the use of different pronouns.

It comes after a review said children have been let down by a lack of research and "remarkably weak" evidence on medical interventions in gender care.

The Cass Review, published on Wednesday by paediatrician Dr Hilary Cass, calls for gender services for young people to match the standards of other NHS care.

She says the "toxicity" of the debate around gender meant professionals were "afraid" to openly discuss their views.

NHS England says it has already made significant progress in making changes.

The Cass Review, which looked at gender identity services for under-18s, was commissioned by NHS England in 2020 after a sharp rise in the number of patients referred to the NHS who were questioning their gender.

TalkTV's Julia Hartley-Brewer clashes with Youth Demand activist Chiara Sarti after 12 protesters were arrested for covering Labour’s HQ in red paint.

Demonstrators from the group insisted both the Government and opposition should commit to preventing the supply of weapons to the country as they targeted the party’s offices in central London.

Labour has said arms exports to Israel should be suspended if ministers have received legal advice that it has breached international law, but has resisted backing an embargo without seeing the guidance.

The Government has come under increased pressure in recent days to publish the advice it has been given following an attack which killed seven aid workers in Gaza, including three Britons.

Julia says: “I know people your age struggle with the difference between those two things but fact and opinion are not the same thing”.

Three former Supreme Court justices, including Lady Hale and Lord Sumption, have joined more than 600 legal experts in urging the UK government to halt weapons sales to Israel. They argue that continuing to sell weapons would make the UK complicit in grave breaches of international law, including potential violations of the genocide convention.

In a heated discussion Steve Hedley and Julia Hartley-Brewer clash over the issue of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the accusations of genocide. Steve accused Julia of being a Zionist troll and a genocide enabler, while Julia defended her stance and condemned the unnecessary deaths of civilians in war.

The debate highlighted the deep divide in opinions on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, with Steve insisting on condemning Israel for genocide and Julia maintaining that civilians should not die in war, but stopping short of condemning Israel.

Faith leaders including the Archbishop of Canterbury have backed proposals for a major shake-up of Britain’s “broken” asylum system, on the same day the Government’s Rwanda Bill returns to the Lords for a parliamentary showdown.

Migrants would be eligible to work in the UK after six months of waiting for an asylum decision and given free English language education on day one after arrival in the country under the recommendations.

The proposals are made in a report by the independent Commission on the Integration of Refugees, which also calls for the reinstatement of a refugees minister in Government.

The Most Rev Justin Welby, who in Parliament’s upper chamber has been a leading critic of Government legislation aimed at deporting some asylum seekers to Rwanda, is among religious figures supporting the recommendations.

TalkTV’s Julia Hartley-Brewer clashes with George Pitcher, a Church of England priest and former adviser to a former Archbishop of Canterbury, over the plans.

TalkTV's Douglas Murray and Esther Krakue discuss the claim that London is becoming a “no-go zone for Jews” during pro-Palestinian protests, the counter-extremism tsar has warned.

Robin Simcox said a “permissive environment for radicalisation” was developing as he welcomed the Government’s forthcoming new definition of extremism.

Writing in The Daily Telegraph newspaper he said the Government should be prepared to “move faster” and “be bolder” in taking action against groups even if that meant a “higher legal risk”.

Mr Simcox, the commissioner for countering extremism, said “we will not have become an authoritarian state if London is no longer permitted to be turned into a no-go zone for Jews every weekend”.

Esther says: “There are certain people that are not buying into what it means to live in British society, which is buying into British values.”

Rishi Sunak is facing calls to publicly address the fallout from remarks made by MP Lee Anderson after an Islamophobia row deepened on Sunday.

The former deputy chairman lost the Conservative whip after failing to apologise for claiming “Islamists” had “got control” of Sadiq Khan.

But critics including the London mayor and Tory peer Baroness Warsi have hit out at the Prime Minister for failing to explicitly condemn the comments.

Oliver Dowden earlier declined to say whether Mr Anderson’s words were racist and left the door open for a possible return to the party, prompting accusations that the remarks were not being taken seriously enough.

Julia Hartley-Brewer gives her verdict on the developing political controversy.

Sir Lindsay Hoyle has suggested that his decision to allow multiple votes in a debate on a Gaza ceasefire was in part motivated by “the security of all members”, suggesting he was concerned some MPs could be subject to intimidation as a result of their views on the Middle East conflict.

The Speaker of the House of Commons is under pressure over his handling of the debate.

The motion was approved but only after Sir Lindsay upended parliamentary convention by selecting Labour’s bid to amend an SNP motion on the Israel-Hamas war.

TalkTV’s Jake Berry discusses the story with TalkTV political correspondent Alicia Fitzgerald, former Labour adviser Stella Tsantekidou and journalist Matthew Stadlen.

Donald Trump has said he would "encourage" Russia to attack any Nato member that fails to pay its bills as part of the Western military alliance.

At a rally on Saturday, he said he had once told a leader he would not protect a nation behind on its payments, and would "encourage" the aggressors to "do whatever the hell they want".

Members of Nato commit to defend any nation in the bloc that gets attacked, while the White House called the comments "appalling and unhinged".

Nato chief Jens Stoltenberg said any suggestion that "allies will not defend each other undermines all of our security", putting soldiers from Nato countries at risk.

TalkTV's Jake Berry is joined by Sebastian Gorka, former adviser to Donald Trump, to discuss what the former President may do should he be re-elected to office.
