Almost 100 dead or missing in Israeli strike in Gaza
The Hamas-run health ministry says at least 93 people are dead or missing after an Israeli air strike on the town of Beit Lahia in northern Gaza.
The director of the hospital in Beit Lahiya in northern Gaza says it's unable to treat satisfactorily the dozens injured in Israel's strike on a multi-storey building. Almost a hundred people were reported killed or missing in the attack. Israel says its operations in northern Gaza are designed to prevent Hamas from regrouping. The UN Secretary-General and the US State Department have expressed their outrage at Israel's decision to ban the UN agency for Palestinian refugees. They've warned there could be consequences. We'll hear from the Arab Israeli politician, Aida Touma-Suleima, about the vote to ban the UN humanitarian agency for Palestinians.
Also in the programme: Donald Trump's former strategist, Steve Bannon, has gone back on the attack on his release from prison, accusing Vice-President Harris of lacking substance; and does Africa's original film festival, FESPACO, face an uncertain future?
