BBC World Service - Newshour, US vetoes call for immediate Gaza ceasefire at UN

The US has vetoed a UN resolution demanding an immediate ceasefire in Gaza

The US has vetoed a resolution at the UN demanding an immediate ceasefire in Gaza after proposing its own draft urging a temporary ceasefire. In its own resolution the US warned Israel not to invade the city of Rafah. We'll hear from one of Israel's top former diplomats on reaction within the country.

Also in the programme: the World Health Organization has warned of a dramatic rise in measles cases around the world since 2022; and an international multi-agency taskforce takes down one of the world's largest cybercrime groups.
