President Noboa authorised military to "neutralise" armed groups.

The armed forces in Ecuador say there will be no negotiations with the criminal gangs behind a wave of violence. President Daniel Noboa authorised the military to "neutralise" a number of armed groups after gunmen stormed a television studio in Guayaquil during a live broadcast. 

Also today: US Secretary of State Antony Blinken talks to the Palestinian Authority as Israel continues to pound Gaza; and how a TV drama sparked calls for justice and forced the British government to make changes in the real world.
