Wanted for war crimes: Benjamin Netanyahu
4Description
The International Criminal Court has issued a warrant for the arrest of Israel’s Prime Minister, a former defence minister, and separately for the Hamas commander - saying it has dismissed Israel’s appeal. What will be the repercussions of this around the world? Will the court's findings be rejected by the US? And how will the UK government respond if Benjamin Netanyahu sets foot in Britain?
Later, John 'Prezza' Prescott has died. Deputy Labour leader and master of the (centre) left hook after famously punching a protester. Plain speaking, funny, at times cantankerous. Was he a politician ahead of his time?

It struck me at the time (pun intended) that the media and Westminster village had read the Prescott punch wrongly. The man was attacked from behind. What is wrong with defending yourself? It's exactly what many working class kids like me would have done. I'm just amazed that Prescott got in the punch and grappled the attacker to the ground before Special Branch got their backsides in gear.
