BBC World Service - BBC OS, Maine shooting: Suspect still at large

The suspect in shootings that killed 18 people in Lewiston, Maine, remains at large

The suspect in shootings that killed 18 people in Lewiston, Maine, remains at large.

The governor of the US state of Maine has confirmed that 18 people died in a mass shooting in the city of Lewiston and 13 have been injured. The suspect is still at large. We speak to a local reporter.

At an emergency meeting of the UN General Assembly, the Palestinian ambassador, Riyad Mansour has called on members of the UN to - as he put it - choose justice, not vengeance and vote to stop the killing in Gaza. The Israeli UN ambassador, Gilad Erdan, spoke of what he called barbaric Hamas terrorists launching an invasion of Israel. 

We also hear an interview with a Hamas spokesperson by our correspondent in Beirut. 

We have a conversation with a Jewish-Palestinian couple who share how recent events have affected their relationship.

Saudi Arabia has confirmed that negotiations have resumed in the city of Jeddah aimed at ending the conflict in Sudan. We hear from people who have been forced to flee the fighting.
