BBC World Service - Newshour, ICJ Ruling: Israel must prevent genocide

The ICJ ordered Israel to take a string of emergency measures in Gaza

The UN's top court orders Israel to prevent acts of genocide in Gaza, stopping short of telling it to halt the war.

The UN's most powerful court ordered Jerusalem to take a string of emergency measures in Gaza.  It stopped short of demanding a ceasefire. But Israel has been told to do everything possible to stop genocide there, immediately enable more urgent aid to enter the territory and to prevent and punish the direct incitement of genocide. The presiding judge, Joan Donoghue, listed measures Israel had to take. We get reactions both Israeli and Palestinian sides.

Also in the programme: with six months to go before the Olympics, we speak to the Director of Planning about the challenge of putting on a successful large-scale international event while managing logistics, security demands and local resident. We hear from the actor Kingsly Ben-Adir about his new role as the Jamaican reggae star Bob Marley.
