UN chief warns of threat to Gaza aid delivery

UN chief warns of threat to Gaza aid delivery.

The head of the United Nations has warned that critical aid for more than two million people is under threat, unless countries resume funding the UN agency for Palestinian refugees. Nine countries have paused their financial support following allegations that several staff were involved in the Hamas attacks on October 7, but the Norwegian Foreign Minister, Espen Barth Eide, tells Newshour why Norway will keep giving money to UNRWA.

Also today: the BBC has discovered that the beauty firm, Avon, is still recruiting sales agents in Russia, despite promising to stop investment there; and the first Australian Open tennis final without Nadal, Djokovic, or Federer in 20 years - are we seeing a changing of the guard?
