- 0:12Speaker 1: In the ongoing regional tensions, two men have pleaded not
- 0:15Speaker 1: guilty in London to charges of conducting hostile surveillance on
- 0:18Speaker 1: the Israeli embassy and other Jewish targets, allegedly on behalf
- 0:22Speaker 1: of Iran. Britain summoned Iran's ambassador following the charges. Iran
- 0:27Speaker 1: has denied involvement in hostile activities in Britain. Across the region,
- 0:32Speaker 1: The US embassy in Jordan issued a travel advisory to
- 0:35Speaker 1: Americans due to recent Houthi attacks on Saudi civilian airports
- 0:38Speaker 1: and infrastructure, specifically targeting Riyadh. The European Union Aviation Safety
- 0:44Speaker 1: Agency also recommended airlines avoid parts of Saudi airspace. Saudi
- 0:49Speaker 1: Arabia reported casualties from the strikes, which Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthis claimed.

- 1:04Speaker 1: Turning to international reactions, South African Judge Navi Pillay has
- 1:08Speaker 1: been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. Pillay previously chaired a
- 1:11Speaker 1: UN commission of inquiry that concluded Israel committed genocide in Gaza,
- 1:16Speaker 1: accusations Israel called scandalous. The Israeli Foreign Ministry reacted strongly,
- 1:21Speaker 1: stating that if there were a prize for lies, hatred
- 1:24Speaker 1: and blood libels, Pillay would lead the list, calling the
- 1:27Speaker 1: award a monstrous perversion used to legitimise hatred against Israel.
- 1:31Speaker 1: In Gaza, the IDF and Shin bet conducted precise strikes
- 1:35Speaker 1: on four weapons depots belonging to Hamas and Islamic Jihad,
- 1:39Speaker 1: destroying dozens of weapons including rockets, explosives and firearms. Authorities
- 1:44Speaker 1: stated that warnings were issued to the population prior to
- 1:46Speaker 1: the attacks. Domestically, with elections approaching on October 27, polls
- 1:52Speaker 1: indicate Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's bloc is holding steady, averaging 55.5 seats,
- 1:58Speaker 1: while the opposition bloc has around 50. Leaders of the
- 2:02Speaker 1: anti-Netanyahu bloc have also called on the Attorney General to
- 2:05Speaker 1: investigate allegations that the Prime Minister's office tampered with records
- 2:09Speaker 1: from the October 7th attacks to cover up failures and
- 2:13Speaker 1: lied to the controller. Separately, there are reports of accusations
- 2:17Speaker 1: against Yair Golan for sickening incitement against the Haredi sector,
