Israel's plan to expand Gaza offensive

The plans includes moving the 2.1 million Palestinians in Gaza towards the south.

Israel's security cabinet has officially backed a plan for a big expansion of the military offensive in Gaza and the occupation of more Palestinian territory. We hear from people in Gaza and find out more about Israel's plan.

President Trump has caused further trade uncertainty, announcing 100% tariffs on US imports of foreign-made films. We speak to filmmakers about the potential impact.

Five months after the fall of Syrian president Bashar Al Assad, many Syrians seem caught between hope and fear. There have been outbreaks of deadly sectarian violence - including deadly clashes in Druze areas last week - as well as ongoing Israeli intervention. We speak to our colleague Tim Franks who is in Damascus and has been gauging the mood in the country.

Presenter: Luke Jones.
