Sunak Wades in About Sir Mark Rowley.
On Saturday, will be, Armistice Day, when the guns fell silent in WW I. Between 1914 - 18 British, French, Germans, Russians, Americans, Turks, Austrians, Hungarians, etc, were slaughtered in a war that was supposed to be "The War to End All Wars". My grandmother's brother was captured, by the Germans in WW1. He was, thankfully, well-treated and released when this conflict ended.

Hasan Nasrallah: Speech.
The greatest enemy of Israel besides Iran, besides Hamas, is the Lebanese group Hezbollah. Translated into English, 'The Party of God". Hezbollah and Israel fought a 34-day war in 2006. However, both Hezbollah and many people looking back historically feel Hezbollah beat Israel. Despite Israel's bombing, and battle against Hezbollah the 'terror' group (as far as the West and Israel allocate it) stood their ground. The war was destructive for both sides. Hezbollah in retaliation for Israel's bombing, targeted Israel with missiles.

Rishi in Awe of Musk.
At a conference on AI, Rishi Sunak, sat on stage interviewing, Elon Musk. The billionaire businessman has quite a few thumbs in many pies. He has business interests in space, manufacturing, and the internet. He has views on migration, and, media in general. Some of his acts and views do not always align with British domestic and foreign policy. For example, the UK is backing Israel in its fight with Hamas. The internet is mainly down due to targeting by Israeli forces. However, Musk has provided Gazans with the internet via his Starlink satellite internet service. It would seem Musk also has the power to help or blunt Ukraine, in its fight, with Russia. Musk is someone you either love or hate and there ain't no in-between.

Boris: No Idea!
Ex-Prime Minister Boris Johnson has been, appointed, as a presenter on GB News. It seems this channel gives jobs to washed-up, right-wing politicians. Take Nigel Farage, popular as he may have been or may still be, yet he never got, into parliament. Yet, he is the anchor of his show now.

Sir Keir Starmer: Gaza Needs Humanitarian Pause.
As the Hamas-Israel conflict rages, Sir Keir Starmer has called for a pause in the fighting. To allow humanitarian aid into Gaza on top of the trucks already carrying aid from the Egyptian side. The situation for the Gazans is very dire. The Israelis have been bombing seemingly indiscriminately Gaza to rubble. The IDF say civilians will die because Hamas bases itself in areas where civilians dwell. So, Israel has no choice but to bomb areas where civilians live and cannot be helped if Hamas (allegedly) chooses to be amongst the population.

Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad, Hamas, Hold Meeting.
Hezbollah has held off from joining the war against Israel. Yes, Israel and Hezbollah, have exchanged shots over the border. However, the scene in the north of Israel remains tense. It is probably at its tensest, since Israel and Hezbollah, fought a 34-day war in 2006. Both sides fought each other to a standstill. Although, some pundits, think that Hezbollah gave Israel a bloody nose. The first time that a Muslim adversary had gone toe-to-toe with Israel and achieved something resembling a victory. Massive damage, however, was done to Lebanon, and many people lost their lives, not just Hezbollah fighters. Israel too, had damage inflicted upon it, with loss of life too.

James Cleverly Tells Pro-Palestinian Protesters to Pause.
Protests by both Palestinian and Israeli supporters have taken to the streets. To show solidarity, with which side they support. And as James Cleverly, rightly points out, each side has a right to protest and make their views known.
