Saudi Arabia to host Arab countries on Gaza plan

Saudi Arabia and its Arab allies were aghast at Trump's plan to "clean out" Palestinians from Gaza and resettle most of them in Jordan and Egypt.

Saudi Arabia will host the leaders of neighbouring Arab countries at a summit this week to talk about their plan for the future of Gaza for an alternative to US President Donald Trump's ambition for a Gaza strip cleared of Palestinians. We speak to former Egyptian Foreign Minister Nabil Fahmy.

Also in the programme: French President Emmanuel Macron called on European leaders to convene an emergency summit on the war in Ukraine as concerns grew over Donald Trump鈥檚 attempts to seize control of the Ukraine peace process; and Buffy the Vampire Slayer, the American TV series about a Californian high school pupil given supernatural powers to fight vampires, is about to get a major reboot.

Host Rebecca Kesby is joined by guests Lucy Claridge, an international human rights lawyer, and Sadakat Kadri, a London-based barrister and author.
