Palestinians, Saudis, Egypt, and others reject Trump's plans for US takeover of Gaza

The president has proposed moving Palestinians and redeveloping the land

There's been international condemnation of plans by US President Donald Trump to seize control of Gaza. He said he wants the US to take a "long-term ownership position" and turn it into the "Riviera of the Middle East", while Palestinians could be resettled in other countries. We have reactions from a Palestinian representative in London and a former Israeli official.

Also in the programme: The spiritual leader of Ismaili Muslims worldwide, the Aga Khan, has died in Portugal at the age of eighty- eight; and the new study which shows people usually feel their best in the mornings.
