BBC World Service - Newshour, Total solar eclipse across the Americas

Excitement in Mexico and the United States as the sun disappears behind the moon.

Excitement spreads from the Pacific Islands across Mexico and the United States as the sun disappears behind the moon: we hear from some of those who have been watching. Meanwhile, residents of Khan Yunis in Gaza return to find utter devastation after the Israeli withdrawal. And what's happening with the talks between Israel and Hamas that have been taking place in Cairo? We also look at a report that has criticised the British foreign ministry for being 'elitist and rooted in the past'.
