Over 800 US and EU officials sign statement against policy on Israel

Over 800 US and EU officials released a letter against their countries' stance on Israel

Over 800 officials in the United States and the European Union have signed a letter condemning their countries' policies on Israel. The signatories say Israel has shown 'no boundaries' in its military operation in Gaza and that Western countries may be complicit in 'grave violations of international law'.
We hear from our correspondent and to former US ambassador about the unprecedented letter.

We then go to the United States, as the Democratic party is hosting its first presidential primary on Saturday. We get the latest from Jaime Harrison, chair of the Democratic National Committee.

Also in the programme: the UN food programme says people are dying of starvation in Sudan, and we discover why are experts opposed to a plan to resurface a pyramid in Giza.
