In this week's podcast Denis hears the latest from Jerusalem where Gaza is considering the Egyptian proposal for a truce. Israel has accepted but Hamas is considering. Mark Weiss and Paddy Smyth analyse the options.

Denis next moves to Washington where Simon Carswell has just returned from a trip to Murrietta in Southern California where thousands of unaccompanied children have arrived, mostly from Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador. Simon describes what he has seen and discusses the impact this has had politically within the U.S.
