BBC Radio 4 - The World Tonight, Joe Biden calls on Israel to back a new peace plan for Gaza

President Biden has issued a new three-phase peace plan for the Middle East

President Biden has outlined a new ceasefire deal aimed at ending the war in Gaza and returning Israeli hostages. Mr Biden presented the plan as Israeli-conceived. It would involve three phases, beginning with a six-week truce during which hostages would be freed and Palestinian prisoners released and ending with a permanent ceasefire and reconstruction of Gaza.

Donald Trump made a stump speech in his New York headquarters in which he repeated his scathing attacks on the trial against him. He was convicted on Thursday on 34 counts of falsifying business records.

And the first full week of election campaigning draws to a close, we look back on the key moments.
