UN says famine in the Gaza Strip is "almost inevitable" and children starving to death.

The US secretary of state Anthony Blinken is due to travel to Saudi Arabia for talks with Arab leaders on how to bring about a ceasefire in Gaza. In Gaza, Palestinians re desperate for a ceasefire and for aid - we hear from a journalist in Deir al-Balah. 

Also in the programme:  South Africa's democratic credentials, 30 years after the country's first true elections; Sophie Trudeau, wife of the Canadian prime minister, on separation and survival.   

Joining presenter Paul Henley are Simon Robinson, executive editor at the news agency, Reuters, and Emily Taylor, chief executive of Oxford Information Labs, a UK-based cyber intelligence company and editor of Chatham House's Journal of Cyber Policy.
