Israel has carried out more heavy bombardments across Gaza.

Heavy fighting is taking place across Gaza, with house-to-house fighting reported as Israeli forces intensify their ground operation. Israeli forces are battling with Hamas and Islamic Jihad fighters to the north and east of Khan Younis. We speak to our reporter from the BBC Arabic's emergency radio service  about the situation on the ground. Our correspondent in Jerusalem talks about a letter the families of the remaining 138 hostages in Gaza have sent to Israel's war cabinet.

We hear about the miners who have been trapped in a copper mine in Zambia since Friday.

The US and EU are struggling to agree fresh financial and weapons aid for Ukraine. Our correspondent in Washington explains how a package of help from the US has become embroiled in wider Congressional squabbles.

The live-streaming network Twitch says it's shutting down its services in South Korea. We hear from gamers and speak to our gaming reporter.

Presenter: James Reynolds.
