A six-year-old girl who went missing in Gaza last month - and whose desperate pleas for help sparked a campaign to find her - has been confirmed dead. Hind Rajab was fleeing the city with her aunt, uncle and three cousins when the car they were travelling in appears to have come face to face with Israeli tanks, and come under fire. Recordings of Hind's conversations with call operators - shared publicly by the Red Crescent - sparked a campaign to find out what had happened to her. We hear from the Palestinian Red Crescent Society who tried to save her, but also lost two people from the ambulance team who were sent to rescue her.
Also in the programme: Why Joe Biden's stance on the Israel-Gaza war has left some Arab Americans feeling alienated; Qatar, have won football's Asian Cup to retain the title; and we hear from Spain's firstly openly LGBT matador.
