Gaza to rebuild

President Biden has said the US will help organise the reconstruction of Gaza.

President Biden has said the US will help organise the reconstruction of Gaza but he's insisted that countries in the region recognise Israel's right to exist as part of a two-state solution. We'll have a report from Gaza as the ceasefire agreed on Thursday between Israel and Hamas holds - for the time being.

Also on the programme: we hear about the Coronavirus precautions, as one of the biggest annual events in world music - the Eurovision song contest, goes back on stage tonight.

Joining Paul Henley on the programme is Comfort Ero, Africa Programme Director of the International Crisis Group, and currently the ICG's Interim Vice-President; and Julian Sayarer, a British-born, author, journalist and adventurer currently based in the Tunisian capital, Tunis.
