BBC World Service - Newshour, Premature babies evacuated from Gaza hospital

Thirty-one premature babies have been evacuated from Gaza's al-Shifa hospital

Thirty-one premature Palestinian babies have been evacuated from Gaza City's al-Shifa hospital. The babies have been taken to an Emirati hospital in the southern town of Rafah, close to the Egyptian border. A spokesperson for the Palestinian Red Crescent Society explains to Newshour how the delicate evacuation was completed. 

Also in the programme: polls have closed in Argentina to decide who will lead the country for the next four years; and an outspoken pro-war Russian blogger says he wants to challenge Vladimir Putin in next year's presidential elections.
