Newshour - More than 100 trucks of aid sent to Gaza

More aid trucks have been seen crossing into Gaza where Israel has eased its blockade and military operations under intense international pressure, but humanitarian organisations have warned that the supplies are nowhere near enough to ease the hunger crisis gripping the Palestinian territory.

Also in the programme: as France describes the European Union's trade deal with the US as "submission", the EU's top negotiator tries to make the case for the deal; and Google admits its earthquake warning system failed to alert millions of people in Turkey before the devastation of 2023.

Native America Calling - Monday, July 28, 2025 — The Menu: Washington tribe responds to a man-made environmental disaster; shift may be in the works for immigrant farmworkers; and recipes help Seneca language revitalization

President Donald Trump is signaling a shift in the ongoing push to deport immigrants as the reality of taking migrant farmworkers out of the fields, disrupting businesses and the country’s food supply starts to become apparent. About 40% of the 2.6 million farm workers in the U.S. are estimated to be undocumented. A portion of those are Indigenous people from Mexico and Central American countries. We’ll hear about how the Trump administration may be adjusting its stance.

In a setback for tribal habitat restoration efforts, a tanker truck spill in Washington State killed thousands of fingerling salmon.

A search for words in their language led a husband-and-wife team to 300-year-old texts where French Jesuit missionaries documented Seneca names for traditional foods, cooking, and even recipes.

Independent investigative journalist and author of One Nation Under Blackmail: The Sordid Union between Intelligence & Crime That Gave Rise to Jeffrey Epstein Whitney Webb returns to Bad Faith to weigh in on Donald Trump's unwillingness to release the Epstein files and the connection between Trump, Epstein, Israeli intelligence, and America's unwillingness to break from Israel as it escalates its genocide in Palestine. Webb clarifies that Epstein provided secret info to the FBI in 2008 as part of his plea deal, making him an informant (as was Trump-booster Peter Thiel) and connects the dots among key players. She also unpacks her new bombshell reporting on Italy's Donald Trump Flavio Briatore, his connection to Epstein benefactor & Victoria's Secret owner Les Wexner, & offers evidence that Trump may be a material witness to Epstein's sex crimes.
