i'm joined by state department correspondent tom bateman. one question — what's the key takeaway from today? well, the most significant bit of news was an answer to a question i asked lord cameron in the briefing there, which is about the growing pressure on the uk government to halt arms sales to israel around the issue of whether or not israel had been deemed by the uk to be in breach of international humanitarian law in gaza. now lord cameron had said on the 8th of march that he would receive legal advice within days about the issue — but here we are a month later and still no announcement. so i asked him that question, what did the uk government deem israel to have done when it came to international humanitarian law? and he confirmed in his answer that the uk would continue to supply weapons to israel — therefore that review had taken place, and my understanding is these are fairly broad notjust legal reviews, but also policy—based reviews, and under that the uk would continue to sell what is around a £35 million a year trade in
