Travelodge gave room key to domestic abuse victim's attacker | BBC News
5d ago00:06:25Tap to summarizeA domestic violence victim who was attacked in her hotel room after Travelodge reception staff gave a key to her abuser, said she was “failed” by the chain. The woman is one of multiple people who contacted BBC Breakfast after the sentencing of Kyran Smith earlier this year, who sexually assaulted a woman in her hotel bed after Travelodge staff also have him a key card and her room number in 2022. Travelodge said while incidents like this were "very rare", customer safety and security is, and remains, a priority with staff undergoing recent training. Following Smyth's sentencing, Travelodge said there had been “immediate changes to our room access security policy to ensure that any additional or replacement room keys are only issued with explicit permission from the person (or people) staying in the room”.

Netanyahu rejects Trump’s Gaza peace plan | BBC News
5d ago00:05:15Tap to summarizeIsraeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has rejected US President Donald Trump's 15-point plan for Gaza, stating that no military pull-out will happen until Hamas is "genuinely" disarmed. Trump's Board of Peace said last month it had reached an agreement for the "complete disarmament" of Hamas and other armed groups in Gaza. But Hamas said handing over its heavy weapons was contingent on Israel ending "all forms of aggression" and withdrawing its forces from Gaza. Israel has continued to carry out strikes on Gaza since agreeing to an initial ceasefire in the territory last October. "Israel rejects the 15-point document," Netanyahu said at a cabinet meeting. The Israeli military "will not carry out any withdrawal until Hamas is genuinely disarmed and will continue to thwart threats against our forces and our citizens", he added. A Hamas official told the BBC on Sunday the group "reaffirms it commitment" to the agreement and it was ready "to engage seriously and responsibly in implementing" the 15-point plan. They called on mediators to ensure "that all parties comply with what has been agreed". Israel's rejection signals another blow for Trump's Gaza peace plan which was announced in September last year. Reeta Chakrabarti presents BBC News at Ten reporting by Jon Donnison, Lucy Williamson and Bernd Debusmann.

Israel rejects Trump's 15-point plan for Gaza, Netanyahu says | BBC News
5d ago00:04:02Tap to summarizeIsraeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has rejected US President Donald Trump's 15-point plan for Gaza, saying there will be no military withdrawal until Hamas is "genuinely" disarmed. Trump's Board of Peace said last month that it had reached an agreement for the "complete disarmament" of Hamas and other armed groups in Gaza. However, Hamas said it would surrender its heavy weapons only if Israel ended "all forms of aggression" and withdrew its forces from the territory. "Israel rejects the 15-point document," Netanyahu said at a cabinet meeting on Sunday. The decision is another setback for Trump's peace initiative for Gaza, which was announced in September last year.
