Israel to move babies out of Al Shifa hospital

BBC World Service - Weekend, Israel to move babies out of Al Shifa hospital

The facility is facing disastrous conditions as intense fighting continues

The Israeli military says it has agreed to evacuate premature babies from Gaza's main hospital -- Al Shifa -- to a safer place on Sunday. But the head of surgery there has said no other hospital in Gaza could accommodate the 37 infants. 

Also in the programme: Liberia goes to the polls next week for a run-off in the presidential election; and what’s behind the success of The Beatles’ latest song, Now and Then, made using Artificial Intelligence? We ask the producer behind the project.
