Israel prevents Palestinians from returning to northern Gaza

Israel says Hamas has breached the terms of a ceasefire deal

Israel has blocked thousands of Palestinians from returning to northern Gaza accusing Hamas of breaching the terms of a ceasefire deal.

Also in the programme: Polls have opened in Belarus鈥檚 presidential election which critics describe as a sham. We get the view of exiled Belarusian opposition leader, Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya, plus an interview with Britain鈥檚 first female spy chief who has now turned novelist.

Joining presenter Shaun Ley to discuss these and other stories of the day are Michaela Kuefner, Chief Political Editor of Germany's international TV channel, Deutsche Welle and host of the weekly podcast, Berlin Briefing, and Christos Christou, international president of M茅decins Sans Fronti猫res or Doctors Without Borders, an international, non-governmental organisation, focused on humanitarian assistance.
