BBC World Service - Weekend, UN Security Council passes Gaza aid resolution

The vote was 13-0, with the United States and Russia abstaining.

The United Arab Emirates, which drafted the now adopted UN resolution on the Gaza war, says its main motivation was the impending famine in the Palestinian territory. We'll be hearing from the sponsor of the UN resolution, Lana Zaki Nusseibeh, the UAE ambassador to the United Nations.

Also in the programme: After years of bitter disagreement between EU countries over migrants, the bloc agrees a new, common approach; and why TV news has become the news in Poland.

Joining Shaun Ley on the programme are: Hugh Lovatt, a senior policy fellow with the Middle East and North Africa Programme at the European Council on Foreign Relations, and Nataliya Vasilyeva, Middle East correspondent for The Telegraph.
