The World Tonight: UK demands answers over Gaza aid deaths

UK demands answers over Gaza aid deaths

BBC Radio 4 - The World Tonight, UK demands answers over Gaza aid deaths

Three British aid workers have been killed in an Israeli strike in Gaza.

The UK government is demanding answers as the three Britons killed in an Israeli air strike on an aid convoy in Gaza are named. We speak to the UN's top humanitarian official in the region, and ask the Israeli government whether it's concerned about alienating allies. 

Also on the programme:

Should the addresses of local councillors to be kept secret - in order to prevent abuse and intimidation? We'll discuss. 

And we remember the grand storyteller of Guadeloupe - Maryse Condé - the only winner of the "Alternative Nobel Prize for Literature".

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
