Israel has carried out an airstrike on the Gazan city of Rafah in response to what it said was Hamas breaking their ceasefire agreement. Hamas says it is committed to the ceasefire and alleges that Israel "continues to breach the agreement".
Also on the programme: thieves have broken into the Louvre Museum in Paris and stolen jewellery that France's interior minister described as priceless; and Afghanistan and Pakistan have agreed to stop fighting so that talks can take place to end their cross-border dispute.

Reporting on the war in Gaza has only been possible because of the work of Palestinian journalists, because the Israeli government will not let foreign broadcasters – including the BBC – inside the territory to report freely, even now a ceasefire is in place.
One month ago, freelance journalist Ghada Al-Kurd began sharing voice notes with us, talking about her life, her hopes, her family, and her days reporting in Gaza City. Her job is dangerous – almost 200 journalists have been killed in Gaza in the past two years – and even with a ceasefire in place, safety is far from reach.
Ghada has continued to report for us through her displacements, sharing her treasured memories of pre-war Gaza, and her fears and hopes for its future.
