Pro-Palestine protesters demonstrate against supply of F-35 parts to Israel
The Palestine Solidarity Campaign organised the demonstration at the site in Havant, Hampshire, with protests also taking place at other manufacturers in Rochester, Kent, and Sheffield, South Yorkshire. Protesters near the premises of Lockheed Martin UK in Havant (Ben Mitchell/PA) Scores of people waving flags and holding banners and placards paraded from Havant town centre to the Lockheed Martin premises which had closed ahead of the protest taking place. A speaker told the crowd: 'I am ashamed at the police today, they should be storming this building, this is a terrorist training camp, this is the sponsored UK terrorism and the police should be shutting it down.' I feel compelled to do everything I can to stop this horror, especially as a Jew because all of us Jews have been told a load of lies about what Israel does Sarah Goldsmith-Pascoe Protester Alan Elliot, 70, from Southampton, who served in the Army for 28 years held up a placard saying 'Veterans against genocide in Gaza'. Alan Elliot, 70, from Southampton, takes part in the protest (Ben Mitchell/PA) He told the PA news agency: 'I don't want to see babies, children and women being killed indiscriminately – this sends a message but always that message is ignored. 'The only way to stop these things is to stop the money.' Writer and activist Sarah Goldsmith-Pascoe, 69, from Bournemouth, Dorset, said: 'I feel compelled to do everything I can to stop this horror, especially as a Jew because all of us Jews have been told a load of lies about what Israel does. 'This is genocide and large companies are doing nothing about it, I have nightmares.' Protesters take part in a demonstration (Ben Mitchell/PA) The Government halted 30 out of around 350 arms sales licences to Israel in September last year, for fear they may be used for war crimes. MPs critical of Israel's actions have called on ministers to go further, and to halt all UK arms sales to the country. A Foreign Office spokesperson said previously: 'Since day one, this Government has rigorously applied international law in relation to the war in Gaza. 'One of our first acts in Government was to suspend export licences that could be used by the Israeli Defence Forces in Gaza. 'We have successfully implemented the suspension decision and continue to refuse all relevant licence applications. 'We have suspended direct exports of F-35 parts for use by Israel, and we categorically do not export any bombs or ammunition which could be used in Gaza. 'We have also suspended negotiations on a free trade agreement, while supporting humanitarian efforts through the restoration of funding to UNRWA, and the commitment of over £230 million in assistance across the past two financial years.' A Lockheed Martin spokeswoman said: 'We respect the right to peaceful protest, and we remain focused on supporting our customers to deliver strategic deterrence and security solutions.'

EastEnders fans fear character has secretly QUIT Walford after they haven't been seen on screen for FOUR months
EASTENDERS fans are worried one character has secretly quit after realising they have vanished from the soap. Viewers have spotted that Lexi Pearce has not been on screen since EastEnders ' 40th anniversary, which was four months ago. 4 4 Fans are now concerned that Isabella Brown, the young actress who plays Lexi, has left the show. Lexi is the daughter of Ben Mitchell and the late Lola Pearce and is approaching her 13th birthday in EastEnders. Die-hard soap fans are now wondering if Lexi will return "with a different head", as many of the child stars have over the years. Writing on Reddit, one EastEnders viewer said: "Anyone know what's happening with Lexi? She hasn't been seen since the 40th anniversary and was rather absent prior to that too. "Lexi is 13 next month. The same age as Lily was when she gave birth." They added: "With only 9 appearances this year I wouldn't be shocked to see her return with a new head." Replying, another fan agreed: "Looks wise the actress reminds me a lot of the old Amy Mitchell so I wonder if they'll recast her soon to someone more older/ older looking." A third chimed in: "I think as Lexi is nearly 13 she should be part of the friendship group with Tommy, Ricky, Denzel, Nugget, Avani , Amy, Lilly and Will. "Also they seem to have forgotten Amy, Ricky and Barney are her cousins so it's weird they hardly hang out and a while back they were developing a friendship between her and Amy too." And a fourth added: "I hope she doesn't get recast. She's a great actress and it's nice to see a realistic looking teenager. BBC EastEnders fans break down in tears at Lexi Mitchell's gesture to dying mum Lola Pearce "Most of the teens are played by adults and even the likes of Lily who is only 16 irl I feel always looked a bit older (which obviously isn't her fault, some teens do look older which is realistic but not literally all of them.)." This is not the first time fans have been left scratching their heads over Lexi's lack of on-screen appearances. In December last year, EastEnders viewers raised identical concerns following another long absence. It came after a huge storyline, which saw Lexi's mum Lola - played by Danielle Harold - tragically die from an untreatable brain tumour. Lexi's dad Ben - Max Bowden - then ended up in prison for fraud. Lexi did, however, return to the BBC One soap and featured in February's huge EastEnders 40th Anniversary Week. Isabella Brown's agent had previously confirmed that she would continue to play Lexi "throughout 2025". A post on EJC Management's Instagram in December said: "So very proud of this young lady! "Our incredible ISABELLA BROWN will continue to play the brilliant Lexi Pearce throughout 2025 in @bbceastenders ⭐️ "Isabella joined the square 6 years ago and seeing her grow as an actress is such a joy! Her dedication, drive, professionalism and work ethic is so inspiring from someone so young. "She has had some amazing storylines and we can't wait to see what 2025 has in store for Lexi!" 4 4
