US defence secretary urges change of tactics

"Hamas should never again be able to project terror from Gaza into Israel.

This is Israel's operation; I'm not here to dictate timelines or terms," Austin said after meeting with the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, and his defence counterpart, Yoav Gallant, in Tel Aviv on Monday. He added that protecting Palestinian civilians in Gaza was "both a moral duty and a strategic imperative".

Austin's comments were followed by remarks from Gallant, who said the new phase would allow some of the 85% of people in Gaza displaced from their homes to return to the northern part of the strip.

Celeriac soup with almond pangrattato

I'm not ashamed to say that as soon as September hits, my stick blender comes out. Just as I embrace salads when the clocks go forward in the UK, I wholeheartedly throw myself into soup season once the summer holidays end. Autumn is approaching in the northern hemisphere and I'm ready with my ladle. Celeriac is one of my favourite soup heroes, because it gives the creamiest, silkiest finish with little effort. You don't have to make the almond pangrattato, but it is a wonderful addition.
