UN Security Council adopts Gaza resolution

BBC World Service - BBC OS, UN Security Council adopts Gaza resolution

The US abstained from the vote, while the remainder of the council's 15 members voted in favour.

The UN Security Council has for the first time adopted a resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages. We explain what it means. 

President Macron of France has warned Russia against trying to exploit Friday's deadly militant attack on a Moscow concert venue to blame Ukraine. The Islamic State group has said it carried out the attack, in which at least 137 people were killed. We hear about conversations the Russians are having about the attack and about the security situation in their country. 

Senegal's governing party has recognised the opposition candidate Bassirou Diomaye Faye as the winner of the presidential election -- less than two weeks after he was released from jail. We speak to our reporter who has been covering the election from the capital.

Since the Princess of Wales revealed she was battling with cancer, many people have shared their own stories online. We hear from some of them. 

Presenter: Krupa Padhy.
