Over 300 people killed in Gaza City hospital

Hamas officials in Gaza say an Israeli airstrike has killed more than three hundred people in a hospital in Gaza City run by the Anglican Church. We hear from one of the Church’s leading figures in Jerusalem. Israel has denied responsibility and blamed Islamic Jihad.

It happens the day before President Biden visits Israel; we ask a former prominent US diplomat what Mr Biden is hoping to achieve.

And we hear from the mother of one French dual-national taken hostage.
