The controversial Gaza Humanitarian Foundation aid group, backed by Israel and the US, claims to have started delivering food to Gaza - but who's actually running it, and why? We also hear from a doctor in Gaza on the impact of the shortages, and from one of over 800 British lawyers calling on the UK government to fulfil its international legal obligations in relation to Israel.

Also in the programme: King Charles prepares to address the Canadian parliament -- in what's been seen as a show of support for the country in its dispute with President Trump; and high expectations for a new antibiotic to counter growing resistance.

Israel orders Palestinians to evacuate Khan Younis in southern Gaza ahead of what it calls an "unprecedented attack". We hear the latest from Jerusalem as the fighting - and suffering - intensifies.

We ask what effect new sanctions might have on Russia’s economy? And we remember German-French film-maker Marcel Ophuls, whose work revealed the extent of French collaboration with the Nazis.

A Palestinian doctor was at work in Nasser hospital in Khan Younis when nine of her ten children were killed and her husband wounded by an Israeli airstrike. It is the latest tragedy as Israel’s military campaign continues to place a huge toll on the civilian population. The Israeli military says “the claim regarding harm to uninvolved civilians is under review”. We hear from a Bulgarian doctor who is working at the hospital.
