Gaza: US allows through UN ceasefire resolution

For the first time, the UN Security Council has adopted a resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and the unconditional release of all hostages.

Intense fighting is continuing between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip with no indication of a let-up in the war - despite a UN Security Council vote demanding an “immediate ceasefire”. Israel has criticised the United States, its closest ally, after Washington did not use its veto to block the resolution - we speak to the former American diplomat Frank Lowenstein.

The United States says there must be a surge in aid to Gaza after that UN Security Council resolution - we bring you a report from a new aid crossing point that recently opened between Israel and Gaza.

And New Zealand has accused a Chinese state-backed group of hacking into its parliamentary system, hours after the UK made a similar claim.
