Israeli deputy foreign minister Sharren Haskel on BBC World Service says Israel has accepted "Trump's 20 point plan" but Hamas has not.

She's dodging all questions about tomorrow's conference and falling back on the old scripts. It's Israel against the world.

Reckon Mozart's 25th Piano Concerto is the classical equivalent of Stairway to Heaven.
Although you know it off by heart, an occasional listen is a reminder of its genius.

Justin Webb and #Americast can have as many extreme right-wing Trump supporters as they want. They can continue to try and 'Both Sides!' the corruption and racism of the GOP away but the truth will eventually be known. And then the same crew will no doubt 'forget' all that they said for years.

Fully awake at this early hour. I bet if I turned over I could go back to sleep. There's a really easy listening music programme on an Internet station. So far avoiding the news. I may give in between 7.30am-9am via The World Service. Mainly staying with music for the day.

Same topics. Weight loss drugs was on Hanson's show between 1am-4am. As was anti semitism and the protests in London. Still playing one soundbite from a vox pops of eight days ago and played to death. It won't improve. Still Brexit framed to mention Farage and China again.

I think its almost time to think about having a light breakfast. And to take my meds/vitamins/minerals. No shopping. Music and rest. Afternoon probably salad and fruit. Our little Sunday night look out later.
Thankfully still unaffected by my Flu and Covid vaccinations. I hope you have a lovely day.

👇 I have only heard a soundbite of this and only once. But there was at least a fair explanation given. Anecdotally I have heard someone broadcasters have stopped airing it since. Only showing it live. Good to realise Netanyahu is not popular. Equally it is misleading that Trump is being praised. 1/

This will take decades. It is doubtful that I will live to see how it concludes. 3/

He will take it. The ceasefire is not much different to any of the previous attempts. I am afraid that the really hard work starts after all the media attention where we see various leaders signing official documents and praising each other. Who is involved in the rebuilding and its future. 2/

I did not hear her interview the same way as the station did. Open to interpretation. I think she was trying to say that both Israel and Palestine need to be self governing. Not ruled by others. Who knows. 🤔 She is not identifiable and they have not contacted her to verify.

In context a clip was played by him at the start of his preamble. Taken from a march from the previous weekend. Which has been played at every opportunity. The person featured was young. Female. Quiet. Perhaps English was not her first language. The questions were loaded?

I go out or off line. Avoid the news for a few hours and always seem to return to sad news. I used to be on top of movies released.

But I do know Diane Keaton is highly respected and popular. I should've seen more of her work.

But I am sorry to see that she has died.

I am having more good times than bad. And am in a positive frame of mind. Then wham! For no apparent reason my mood takes a dip. My only hope is that usually it disappears as quick as it appears. Why it decided to tonight at 8pm was the time to do its business who knows.

He won't be the only one...Ferrari on LBC Monday Morning is doing a special show on the reputation of and what she did for the UK on the 100th anniversary of her birth. I won't be listening.
