Pressure is growing on the Israeli government not to launch a ground offensive on Rafah

Pressure is growing on the Israeli government not to launch a new ground offensive on Rafah.

Our correspondent gives us the latest as international pressure is continuing to grow on the Israeli government not to launch a new ground offensive on the city of Rafah in southern Gaza. Our colleagues at BBC Arabic talk to us about Gaza 101: Emergency Rescue, a powerful new film offering unprecedented access to the frontline of the Israel-Gaza war through the eyes of first responders. 

We hear from a local journalist as Trinidad and Tobago is under a “national emergency” after a massive oil spill coated numerous beaches along the Caribbean nation’s southwest coast.

Thousands of people across Germany have been protesting for several weeks to voice their opposition to the far-right populist AfD party after politicians from the party met neo-Nazis to discuss a “master plan” for the mass deportation of asylum seekers and German citizens of foreign origin. We hear a conversation between people who migrated to Germany in the past to hear their thoughts and experiences.

Our reporter gives us the latest as Greece is on the brink of legalising same-sex marriage.
