Putin not listed for peace talks on Ukraine

Russian President Vladimir Putin is not on the list of names by the Kremlin as one of those attending peace talks on the war in Ukraine in Istanbul today. Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky had called for him to attend, saying he would only negotiate with the Russian President. So where does this leave the talks? We'll get a view from Turkey.

At least twenty-six people have been killed in Israeli airstrikes in and around Khan Younis, the largest city in southern Gaza. A medical source in Nasser hospital told the BBC the victims included children. Israel has yet to comment on this, or on reports that 80 people were killed, many of them women and children, in an Israeli bombardment yesterday. We'll go live to Gaza.

We'll speak to the Secretary General of the Sudanese Red Crescent Society and discuss continued fighting in the country and the plight of those caught in the middle of it all.

Presenters: James Copnall and Victoria Uwonkunda.
