Gaza maritime corridor could begin at weekend, EU says

The European Union, US, Britain and the United Arab Emirates have all signed up to support the formation of a new maritime corridor from Cyprus to get desperately needed aid deliveries into Gaza. The EU Commission President said a pilot operation would start soon. It's part of accelerating efforts to relieve the humanitarian crisis in Gaza as Israel continues its offensive. So how does Israel see itself being involved? We ask an advisor to the Israeli Prime Minister.

Also in the programme: The search for nearly 300 students abducted from a school in northern Nigeria. Is it the work of terrorists or bandits? And the continuing mystery of MH370 - the Malaysian plane that disappeared ten years ago.
