BBC World Service - Newsday, US praises opening of Rafah to allow limited crossings from Gaza to Egypt

The only border crossing point not controlled by Israel is partially opened by Egypt

The only border crossing point not controlled by Israel is partially opened by Egypt for foreign nationals and some injured Palestinians.

We'll have the latest from Gaza where we have seen people leave the besieged area for the first time since the Hamas attack on Israel - President Joe Biden has hailed the limited movement of foreign nationals and injured Palestinians as a diplomatic success. 

The US chief diplomat Antony Blinken is due to return to the region on Friday as diplomatic activity continues - we speak to a British member of parliament for more on the international reaction to the crisis. 

And in business we'll hear about a compensation case win for Australia's aboriginal population.
