Gaza: UN passes a resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire
Israel says the resolution gives the country's enemies a free pass.
Fourteen council members including the UK backed the call, which also demanded the unconditional release of all hostages. We hear reaction from Israel and our International Editor, Jeremy Bowen. From the West Bank, our senior international correspondent Orla Guerin has a report on the Jewish settlers who wish to return to Gaza, almost twenty years after the last settlement there was withdrawn.
Also on the programme: we hear the latest on the long running woes at plane-making giant Boeing as its Chief Executive Dave Calhoun will step down by the end of this year; and the one hundred and twenty-five million dollar experiment to try to prove the existence of particles in the universe that have not yet been found.
