BBC World Service - Newshour, Israel moves in on southern Gaza

Israel’s army says it has seized the Gazan side of the Rafah crossing with Egypt, after continuously bombarding eastern Rafah overnight. Tanks moved in on the vital entry point for aid, a day after Israel ordered civilians to evacuate the area. Meanwhile, truce talks are to resume in Cairo after Israel said terms which Hamas had agreed to were unacceptable.

Also on the programme: A new insight into Alzheimer’s; the marathon champion Eliud Kipchoge slowed by online abuse; and an ode to the Ode to Joy.
